Volume 12 Chapter 35: Get Them By The Nose
Everyone stared at the grandess the Azure Lotus Academy had to offer. It was similar to walking into a royal castle. This grandness was an afterthought as the people stared at the pamphlets. As they entered, they were handed one to guide them to each stall.
"Which section should we go first?"
"How about S-class 4th year? I heard they had something interesting there."
"A-class is also doing something impressive as well."
"Look here, the third years are running a magic tools shop." As the people conversed, only one class overshadowed the rest. S-class. It didn't matter whether or not it was the 4th year or the 1st year; S-class reigned supreme. Despite the chatter,
"?"
"What's this smell?" As the guest walked, a tantalizing aroma wafted through the air. A savory and decadent smell that made their noses addicted, wanting to sniff it one more time again and again, creating an endless cycle. Slowly, their feet trudged, aiming to find the source. That was when they arrived before one section.
F-class. First year.
Each section had a gate that said their class name and the year. However, this one was distinct from the others. The lettering was softer and rounder, while the coloring was on the lighter side. Staring at it interested the guests, as they couldn't help but gaze at it a few more times.
"Cute."
"This is F-class?"
"Look, there's a stall in front." That was the source.
"What are you making?" The people couldn't help but marvel at those beautiful chunks of meat grilled on the fire.
"Hello! We're selling rush bull meat skewers! Do you all want some? They're two bronze coins a skewer." The student smiled as he explained.
"Skewers?" This was a dish they had never heard of before. Handing the coins over, the guests were handed one stick each. Each meat looked tender and juicy as the juices dripped down. Gulp! When one does it, the others soon follow. The only course of action left was to eat!
...One bite was enough.
“Delicious!” Tender and juicy. Each piece of meat had quite the flavor as they chewed. With each bite, another one came their way.
Each piece of meat was packed with flavor as they chewed. Soft and tender like a ball of cotton, making it easy to eat. There was a slight bitterness due to some charred bits, but it only complemented the meat's rich taste!
"We want another!" "No, make it two!" "I want to buy a lot!"
"Understood." The student nodded, "But the maximum you can have in one order is five."
"Then we'll take five!" There was no need to hold back.
“Child, what is this?” Besides the skewer they obtained, they also got five tickets, which was uncommon. The student explained, "This is specifically for our section. For each skewer you buy, you earn one ticket. You can exchange it for goodies in the exchange stall."
“Goodies?” As they wondered what he meant, that was when another delicious wave of aroma hit them!
“Please come and try our orc skewers! We also got some pancakes as well!”
"We also have earth chicken skewers!"
“Come here to try out fried garlic potatoes! Simply divine that it'll light up your mouth.”
As they delved deeper, they spotted more food stalls. With the fantastic and addicting aroma spreading from each stall, they were bombarded with colors. Each aspect caused the customers to head in.
“Mfahahah, my "get them by the nose" tactic worked!” While all of this was happening, Keith grinned on top of one of the stalls, observing the situation. Coen and Olin were beside him.
Coen tilted his head, "I was confused why you placed the rush bull stall in the front, but now I know." No wonder he said he was going to lead the charge. It was an impactful start as the customers poured in.
"But what's with the corny slogans you're making them say." Olin's lips turned crooked as he heard his classmate speak those lines. Keith specifically made them repeat those lines. Just hearing it was enough to make his entire body shiver.
“To drive the customers to buy.” Keith shook his head, ”Do you think they would buy if you don't make it sound nice? Seriously, how do you not get this?” A slogan would make anyone interested!
“I'll shut up.” Even though he had no clue, he understood it was effective because people were heading to them because of their words!
“Once they're in, it's hook, line, and sinker.” His lips curved upward as he watched them head over to the stalls. Once they were drawn in by the rush bull skewers, the others lured them deeper in.
"..." You sound so much like a villain. Coen and Olin looked at one another and shook their heads. We saw nothing.
“Keith!”
“Hello, Titus!” Keith jumped down from the stall in front of his party. He smirked, “What do you guys think?”
“This is incredible! You really went all out” Titus and the other parties were amazed by the sight.
“You know it. I can see that you've already tried our food.” Keith chuckled as all of them had skewers in their hands.
"Keith, how could you make all these delicious items? I had to scarf down three of my skewers right away." Since she couldn't hold all of them, it had to be emptied quickly!
"I had help."
“But what do we do with the tickets?” That was something they were all interested in. Keith grinned, “You can use those tickets to cash in for prizes.”
“Prizes?”
“Mmhmm, check it out.” Keith then brought them over to the stand. That was when they saw the giant signboard, which showed what they could get with the tickets.
