With Lu Jue's reminder, Special Week didn't report late like in the original story.
That evening, her luggage was also successfully delivered to her dormitory.
Fate is truly wondrous; she was pleasantly surprised when she saw Silence Suzuka return from outside.
"Suzuka-chan!?"
"You... hello?" Silence Suzuka was a little unaccustomed.
Fortunately, when she went upstairs, the dorm leader had already reminded her of her new roommate's arrival.
"I can't believe we can be roommates!"
"Um... have we met before?"
Immediately after, Special Week recounted the day's events to Silence Suzuka, and the two gradually became familiar with each other through their conversation.
...
Lu Jue woke up with a yawn around noon.
After lunch, he set off for Teresen Academy.
Before he left, Tojo Hana sent him a message, asking him to come to the lounge.
"Sister Hua."
"Xiao Lu, our team needs to recruit new members tomorrow, and we need your help."
"No problem." Lu Jue was still very reliable when it came to getting things done.
"Hmm, organize the registration list this afternoon, including height and weight, and print a copy for me this afternoon."
"Okay." Lu Jue nodded. "Sister Hua, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"Not yet. I just finished planning next week's training schedule." Tojo Hana closed her computer and stood up. "I'm going to eat now."
"Okay, I'll start organizing it now. It's not like I have anything else to do anyway."
"Xiao Lu, your probation period is almost over, isn't it?"
"Yes, thank you, Sister Hua, for your care during this time." Lu Jue expressed his gratitude solemnly. He had learned a lot from Tojo Hana.
Tojo Hana smiled. "Your ability is indeed good, but... you must hold onto Silence Suzuka's reins tightly."
"Don't worry, Sister Hua."
In his previous life, he didn't have many other hobbies; horseback riding was one of them, so he naturally had his own insights into horsemanship.
...
In the afternoon, everyone arrived at the training ground one after another to begin training.
Lu Jue handed the already prepared copy to Tojo Hana and invited her to the celebration banquet that evening.
Then he found Silence Suzuka and informed her of the afternoon's training content.
Physical fitness indicators are not static; they need to be maintained through regular training volume.
"Are you just going to leave?" Silence Suzuka asked.
"There's nothing much to do this afternoon, so I'm going back early to prepare ingredients."
Silence Suzuka was internally anticipating, but her expression remained calm. "Alright."
"You train well, and don't be lazy, okay?"
"Got it."
...
Lu Jue invited Nishizaki Ryu and all members of the "Rigil" team.
The location was at his house. The living room table was too small, so Lu Jue had to combine two tables.
There were quite a few people, so hot pot was Lu Jue's first choice.
He had bought the equipment long ago.
But for hot pot bases and such, he naturally chose to make them himself rather than buy them from the market.
This was a tedious process, and it was also why he had to come back early to prepare.
Things like spices and simmering broth required a lot of his time and energy.
While waiting, Lu Jue was not idle; he began to prepare the ingredients.
Under his skilled knife work, a large fish was cut into neat pieces.
The urge to cook came over him. Seeing that there was a lot of fish, Lu Jue took a portion to make pickled cabbage fish.
Similarly, there was plenty of meat for the hot pot, so he took some to make boiled sliced pork.
...
"Ding dong—ding dong—"
"Coming, coming." Lu Jue forgot to untie his apron and came out of the kitchen to open the door.
"Xiao Lu, we're here." Tojo Hana, with all the members of "Rigil" and Silence Suzuka, stood at the door.
"Please come in quickly."
"Excuse us, Trainer Lu." Symboli Rudolf said.
"Excuse us."
"Excuse us."
...
The other team members followed closely behind.
Finally, it was Silence Suzuka's turn. "Excuse us, Trainer Lu."
"Oh, please." Lu Jue chuckled. Wasn't this celebration banquet held for her? "Come in quickly."
As soon as everyone entered, they smelled a rich aroma that tantalized their taste buds, and they unconsciously swallowed.
"I still need a little more time. Everyone can sit for a while. I've prepared some appetizing juice." Lu Jue pointed to the drinks he had already prepared on the table.
"It's fine, it's still early for dinner."
Tojo Hana sat down first, thinking it was just an ordinary drink, and took a sip.
"This taste..." Her eyes widened, but the taste of the juice still lingered in her mouth, leaving a fragrant aftertaste.
Seeing this, everyone else also picked up the juice in front of them.
"So delicious!" Rhombus Amazon's eyes lit up, and she immediately took another big gulp.
"Subarashii~ This taste is truly wonderful." Agnes Digital showed a look of contentment.
"This taste is no less inferior to the drinks at those five-star restaurants." Grass Wonder maintained her composure, but her cup was already empty.
Meanwhile, Air Groove, Narita Brian, and Fuji Kiseki had already gone for refills.
"Trainer Lu, what kind of drink is this?" Symboli Rudolf asked.
"It's a drink I developed myself. As long as it tastes good, but don't drink too much, you'll get full."
Lu Jue glanced at his watch. Seeing that it was almost time, he went back to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Silence Suzuka also left her seat and followed him.
...
"Suzuka? Why did you come in?"
"Is there anything you need help with?" Silence Suzuka, of course, knew that Lu Jue was working so hard for her, so she wanted to help share the burden.
"You are the guest, and I am the host. How can I let you help?"
"But this is a celebration banquet you're holding for me." Silence Suzuka didn't compromise on Lu Jue's words.
Could it be that he won't let her help unless she acts like the mistress of the house...?
No, Suzuka!? What are you thinking!?
"Suzuka? Suzuka?"
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"Why did you suddenly go silent, and your face is a little red?"
"I was choked by the smoke."
"Really?" Lu Jue glanced at the range hood, which was working normally. "Never mind. If you insist on helping, then take these plates of ingredients out."
"Okay."
After Silence Suzuka left, Lu Jue began his final busy preparations.
