[Speaking in his mind]
"Speaking out loud"
------------------------------------
Professor Fenix:"Poison."
Fenix materialises a stick made from Earth and points it at the huge cube holographic screen beside him and in front of the class.
There was a 3D moving hologram of man growing white, coughing blood and then collapsing.
The hologram looked real and made it feel that the man was actually dying in front of them.
All the students resisted the urge to try help the holographic man, or run in terror from Fenix and the hologram.
"Weeeeh! Waaah! Weeh!"
There was an idiotic sound of a girl crying and sobbing like a baby in the back ground, the hologram must have brought bad memories, they are after all internal struggles between kingdoms even if the empires are peaceful with each other.
All the class mainly consisted of nobles since they were trained well since birth.
A nobles worst enemy is poison.
Even with all this, Fenix never hesitated or tried tocomfort the girl and continued with his teaching.
Fenix: "It can ensnare, Burn, Melt, Destroy and control!"
He stops pointing at the hologram, slowly disintegrates his stick and continues:
Fenix:"The higher affinity of poison is one of the most profound affinities even compared to other higher affinities.
If you master it you can even create huge poisonous creatures out of thin air! Anything you touch, if you so wish, can wither away instantly! But of course, that will probably be impossible for most of you here."
Fenix looks at the student, who have gloomy expressions.[Yes, put their hopes down and then...]
"The basilisk house are supposed to teach the basics of the affinity-but that is a lie. They teach 0.1 percent.
1/5 of the basics. That's because the school doesn't allow the teaching of even all the basics of poison. They deem it as too dangerous. This is... True!
But I don't like following shitty rules and the like... So I will teach you not 0.5 percent, like they are supposed but at least 1 percent of the affinity! [Yes! Be shocked I know all! Mwahaha! These kids better get me Gol- *cough* honour!]
What I am teaching you... Is forbidden too leave this room. When you reveal your power in the tournament, tell them you learnt it yourself with your friends...
It has nothing to do with me! Any of this is leaked... your voice will be unable to make sound for the rest of your lives. I have put a curse on you, it will activate when you begin to reveal information."
[Thats a lie. The academy has a powerful barrier to stop curses probably created by the head or Sinnil... It's still magic!Haaah, so boring...]
All the children look at Fenix with their mouths gaping and yes bulging.
The wail from the girl gets louder and more intense. Probably has bad experiences with curses too.
Fenix:"Shut up! Grow up! Your like 6 years older than me, hold it in at least annoying girl!"
[Guhh... I hate teaching... No... I hate children...]
The girls cry slowly fades away and she grits her teeth and holds back the sobs while her face turns red because of the embarrassment. The class look at her with sympathy.

Fenix:" Now everyone we shall begin by first drinking these. It is something only someone that know at least 1 percent of the affinity can refine so be grateful. It creates a stronger barrier around half your stomach so you can store and create poison. It even helps with digestion! It should split your stomach in half so food or anything you don't want in your poison can get digested normally and be shat out! After this you should be able to sense that you have another stomach. The difference with your other stomach will be that your poison will be stored there and it won't be connected to your intestines! You will also grow another set of veins which carry the poison out of your body when you wish and you will have immunity to poison that is weaker than the one in your body."
Fenix spreads out the palm of his right hand and demonstrates. A little hole starts to appear in the middle of his palm and thick purple gas is released. He then uses mana to shape the poison into a sphere and then different shapes and heats it so it turns bloody red. He finishes the demo by turning it into a green toxic sword.
Fenix:"By the end of the basics, you will be able to transform it into at least a sphere of gas or liquid or if your good a materialised solid poison dagger, you will also tame poisonous beast or insect which you can store in your stomach, they will fall asleep automatically so they don't kill each other." Explained Fenix
Fenix:"By the end of 1%... Well it depends what you learn first, after the basics you can start from anywhere, from the hardest technique to the easiest or even none if you have a terrible affinity for it! I will only give you some tips, it is impossible to teach, you will have to learn and gain insights yourself after the basics!
I have all the recourses you need up to 1 percent for most techniques. I don't even know what to use most of them for because I am only learning one of the techniques after the basics, it's called {Poison Air} or what we call poisonous gases! I also faintly remember hearing of {Venom Striking} which is something to do with shooting venom from your mouth--I don't know!" Fenix finished talking.
The class already started drinking and refining their poison stomach with their internal Ki.
They're brimming with happiness and excitement listening to all the amazing techniques, they understand that even
Fenix has no idea of 80 percent of the technique he is learning as he just started, but even that's an extraordinary feat that must have took months or years.
They also know that you can fuse techniques of higher affinities together so there's many techniques for them to explore.
Fenix looks at his class with a sad smile cast across his face which doesn't go well with his red hair and golden eye that make him look lively.
[A shame if they aren't accepted or can't create one, I will have to erase their memories of the lesson and anything I said about poison, only a few will take the poison classes with me, and they will be my team for the tournament, regardless I will teach my party poisons even if they don't have an affinity for it-- but they are an exception since they might die in the mission!] he totally denies himself being biased and them being friends all at the same time!

"WHAT! It still isn't working! Why?!"
About 14 of the class of 20 started complaining after 4 hours of them trying to make the poison stomach.
Fenix:"Time up!"
Class:[We had a time limit!] they were all hating Fenix right now, he never even mentioned a time limit.
Fenix:"Those who could not make it come here." He said sternly.
The class made a line in front of Fenix obediently except for the 6 who went to the side.
Fenix analysed them.
[*Sigh* So only Aaron and Jessica can use poison... Not surprised with Jessica she's a dark elf, but how can I make that chubby, lustful little James into an assassin! Yeah I can see right through your facade James!
I'm rank A and know over 30 percent of the affinity of sound! I can pretty much hear your thoughts since your soul is one of the weakest I seen. Blah blah boobs blah blah food! It's so annoying! I'm getting off track....]
Fenix:"Drexel, Aaron and Arina stand with those 6." Drexel, Aaron and Arina walk off and stand next to Jessica and James and the rest who passed.
Fenix:"Now everyone, I need you all to look at me, this will greatly help your training." Fenix says with a smile.
The class stare at Fenix intentl-- *Flash*!
----------
The now 9 remaining conscious pupils look at the mess of classmates on the floor, all knocked cold!
"I need you all to help me levitate these guys to their dorms. You all know where they live, right? If not here is the list!"
He throws a list of the pupils and which rooms they stay in the dorms.
Fenix:[Teaching has its privileges.]"Just throw them in their room, don't tuck them in or molest them."
The remaining students just nod.
-----------------
Fenix: "Ok everyone, I need the cleaning club to stay back and clean the class, it's their punishment for what they did."
The 11 students who failed nodded and gave a stern gaze to the poison students and Drexels group.
This was the 4th day like this, they have been receiving lectures from their classmates and have been always warned by them not to do 'it' again.
Jessica:"Sir, what did you tell them we actually did."
James:"Yeah, when I approached one of the girls, she started screaming and slapped me!" James said pointing at the red mark on his face.
Fenix:"What nonsense are you speaking about, they are acting normally with me."
[They can't actually remember what you did since you never did anything, but I made them get a feeling you did something bad. Very bad. Especially James. Cos I can do that.]
The poison class just sighed with resignation.
Fenix: [This team is pretty good, I can make them into legends! Their new partners are pretty good in the areas of poison, they have some basic knowledge since they are nobles and because all the ones that actually have an affinity for it have been taught since birth how to deal with it, including Jessica and James, their knew partners are:
Jake: 14 years old, some sort of demon that has dark purple skin and red eyes (no wonder he has an affinity with poison), he has an average face, since their are many colourful sub-races that are pink or bright red he does not stand out: a perfect assassin!
Rose: A 13 year old girl that looks really arrogant and stubborn, she has red hair, and looks really really violent. She looks adorable.
And Roses twin Lily: The person that tries to control rose, calm quiet, I never even noticed her. She probably never even screamed or did anything when I did all those things to the class, she looks olde than rose are they really twins- of course they are...... she has blonde hair and looks pretty with a sisterly aura around her. A peace maker... Just my type-No. Stop. She's my student.
Sometimes I see this really evil flicker of light cross her eyes but it's probably my imagination.
And finally Bob: some sort of sponge merman. He looks a like a normal 13 year old boy but has very small holes in his skin, his ability is really useful as sponge can absorb impact and are very light, they probably can be hurt, they also have little air resistance because of their wholes, his race is probably the merpeople or Aqua empires assassins. Probably good with liquid poisons and know how to deal with fish poisons, he can help me out, I haven't check out the poisonous types of fish.
------------
Fenix is currently pondering about fish and Lily when he is brought back to reality.
Lily:"Sir, shouldn't you teach Drexel, Aaron and Arina how to release their poisons through their veins and emit them, like us."
Fenix:"Sorry, they need to continue studying about poisonous plants, animals and insects like you already have. They need a better understanding. We will be going to a little trip soon. I have signed you all up as well since your apart of my class they let me." Fenix said apologetically. He initially only wanted lily to come but then it may look like he favoured her, which he totally doesn't *cough*.
Fenix:[Shes gonna hate me now.... Why do I even care... Am I dumb? She is older than me... But age doesn't matter when you become immortal. What am I saying, love is a curse!]
Suddenly an evil flash of realisation went through his eye.
This girl, lily, huh. To think I let my guard down. She is actually a B rank. I should always keep my soul barrier on, to think she has such an artefact. She has a powerful backing.... I'll teach her a lesson, hypnotising me so easily like that... Pfff me fall in love. Now I realise why I haven't seen her-she just came, I will have to interrogate both the 'sisters' and teach them a little lesson in the little trip!

Sorry for no chapters but now I have a week to write!

The Emperor's Chef
"Cook like your life depends on it, kid. Because it does." Charles had an enviable future lined up for him. Training from the age of five by some of the finest chefs in the world. Schooling at a top culinary academy in the capital. An honorable position as heir to House Boulier, a line of merchant-lords who have charmed the rich and powerful with their cooking for centuries. And in a single night, it all burned to ash. When the outbreak of war destroys his hometown, Charles is charged with escorting his family’s sacred treasure—a recipe book passed down for untold generations—out of harm's way. But his simple mission grows complicated when he’s captured by one of the most feared battalions in the world: the Spears of Mercy. Life as a prisoner in their war camp is brutal and uncertain. Charles has few allies and even fewer strengths to rely on. Only his skills in the culinary arts, honed over a lifetime in the kitchen, are deemed useful enough to keep him alive another day. But he’s not out of hope just yet. With a dash of wit, a pinch of luck, and some very creative cooking, he might just find a way to recover his family’s legacy and take back his freedom. This project is a food-themed fantasy that centers on cooking and chefs. The setting spans a wide world featuring ingredients/recipes both real and inspired by traditional fantasy. I'll eventually be publishing it as a full-length novel (or series of novels depending on length). These are the first draft chapters. I'll likely be re-writing more than once, then editing before publishing, so impressions and feedback are quite welcome. If you like the story so far and you're interested in being an early reviewer for the final product, feel free to message me. I'm looking for an artist to make some concept art and a cover (the cover shown here is just a temporary placeholder). A stand-alone novel for now, but it may turn into a series down the road.
