[OP: ]
As soon as he took out the various energy stones and crystals, the attention of the teachers and the judges was drawn to him. However, the students that were around him were in a confused state right after he was enveloped in that protective barrier.
The teachers knew instantly by their confusion that this barrier was no normal protective wall but instead sothing much more unique, sothing that not only was strong but was also sothing with the illusion properties.
In fact, the headmaster knew instantly that this unique magic engineering artifact was made with the sa principles that he himself made his spells with.
Sothing that was inspired from his spells, and made with the high knowledge that he possessed.
"Hmmm…"
He was smiling, and he was not the only one like that.
"That boy…"
Even their teacher Lady Cleo was surprised when he covered himself with that shield and took out those uncommon stones.
Using Aura, Mana or any other kind of energy in the cooking process wasn't unheard of however, it was so advanced techniques that the academy did not teach them until the students were in their third grade or had shown exceptional skill.
"What is he up to this ti?"
The teachers were the only ones who could see him right now, not the students. And the teachers knew that it was for the better as inside that thin barrier, sothing shocking was unfolding…
"How is he doing that?"
"Isn't he just a swordsman? That kind of elental control…"
"Oh, that's right. He's also a hexa elental affinity holder. Is it because of that?"
"That still doesn't make any sense. Just look at him…"
The judges were confused right now since inside the barrier, Eon was using a unique technique with the condensed elental Mana to temporarily summon elental spirits.
He was using the other unique energy crystals and his own Aura to guide the spell process, casting the spell with not his mana but with an external source.
It was not a traditional western technique, but sothing that the masters of the east used frequently with the charms and enchantnts.
Still, the kind of summoning spell that he was using was sothing too advanced to be used by a student. And, he was doing it in a cooking paper, so it was even more complicated for the rest of the judges.
However, the two headmasters were paying a close attention to all his actions.
They were looking at every single elent of the spells that he was using, observing everything that was resulting from his actions, and checking for any kind of errors in anything he was doing- not that they had found anything yet, but they were looking for it still.
They believed in him since they had seen him out on the field doing the real thing that only he could, but this was their first ti witnessing his cooking skills.
And, as a firm enjoyer of his cooking skills, they were looking forward to what he was up to with that kind of show off.
"Looks like he will be using elental tempering on the ingredients."
One of the teachers in charge of the spirit summoning class spoke up with a surprise on her face.
She was not expecting to see temporary spirit summoning in this cooking test, but now that she was seeing sothing so refined with her own eyes, she couldn't help admire the summoning spell that the boy in question was using at the mont.
"Earth, water, wind, fire, light, and even darkness… how is he planning to use all of them in cooking? Should he even do that?"
The judges who were supposed to complete objective with their observations and tradings were having difficulty understanding what they were seeing at the mont.

They were certainly experts of their own fields however, this was a cooking test. They were supposed to grade the als that the students prepared and their performance and understanding of the subject, materials, and techniques.
And surely, magic or summoning magic to be specific was not part of all their specialities.
"The test itself gives complete freedom to the students on the thods and ingredients. If he can do it, there's nothing wrong with this." The headmaster was busy but he knew he shouldn't miss this opportunity.
The reason he was here along with the vice headmaster was exactly to taste what this young child makes for them.
They were busy with their own work, but that work was not so important that they would want to miss this great opportunity.
"I'd say he knows what is doing so, there is nothing wrong with using those complex thods at all. As long as he makes the things that he is planning to make, it should be alright."
Even the vice headmaster supported him so the judges behind them fell silent, looked back at him in the barrier, and started taking note of his actions like the the headmasters.
At the sa ti…
"Huuuu…"
He had finished summoning all six of the elental spirits that he had already had contact with previously by using his unique specific summoning spell.
These spirits did not have a contract with him so it was not possible for them to stay in this world for too long, but thanks to the branch of the world tree, the special artifacts, and his innate familiarity with these spirits, it was possible for him to summon these specific spirits and get their help with small tasks like cooking.
"Alright, you can start."
It required a lot of energy for them to stay in this world so he had to use his expensive Arcana and Aether crystals but it was still fine.
He knew what was more important right now so this little investnt was nothing for him… he was going to use the super expensive fire drake blood that he had only secured after so many weeks, but that was fine as well.
He wasn't going to use all of it, so, the two of them can still have a little at night when all of their tests are over…
-Oooooooooooooooong!
The elental spirits that he had summoned were just the starting process.
He was going to use them for elental tempering, change the elental structure of the things he was going to use a little, and use them in a way that wasn't conventional at all.
It was a technique similar to what the dark elf tribes of the far eastern world use to make so special dishes during their annual festivities.
They commonly used Spirit Mana in the process but since he wasn't proficient with handling the spirit Mana yet, he was using the condensed elental beads along with his Aura and so Solnova to maintain the process.
He could have done it with Solnova like he usually does at their dorm or at ho, but this was an academic setting.
Even if the others couldn't sense or perceive Solnova, it was still an energy that followed the logical flow.
If he used it recklessly, even the teachers and the judges would catch onto the strangeness of his abilities which would lead to complications.
He was still just the vice captain and an unknown adventurer with no certain identity. And above that, he was still just a student of the academy.
Many things could go wrong if people knew about a power as strange as Solnova and took advantage of it… he didn't want to put anyone around him in a dangerous position.
So, he cautiously used all his elental and external energies with precision, leaving only the minor gaps for criticism.
He processed the ingredients that he had taken out from his storage space first, and then he moved onto the creation part.
"Starting with appetisers…"
Unlike the others who made everything side by side, since he was using so very complex ingredients and techniques, he had no choice but to make every single part of the dishes one by one.
For dessert, he would even have to make every portion one after the other. And, he knew it was a lot of work.
But, that was the reason he had to work faster… process everything faster than the others, make every single elents in the shortest possible ti, and without wasting any ti, use his ZONE in the cooking process.
"That's just crazy…"
"How can soone so young even think of sothing like that?"
"To be able to enter the zone… and for cooking at that…"
"The great academy of Hope never stops surprising every ti I'm here."
There are many judges who couldn't believe what they were seeing right now.
It was surprising, but more than that, it was absurd.
On the higher levels of any art form, having a deep concentration was a necessity. And entering the deep conscious state of ZONE was not a rare thing. However, cooking was a kind of art that had more pressure oriented elents to stopped the 'artists' from getting distracted.
It was quite a rare sight to see a chef entering the ZONE when cooking, but as so of the few people who had witnessed the cooking of the top chefs of this world, they knew how amazing of an experience it was to witness the top chefs cooking food in their signature styles.
It was nothing less than witnessing a sword dance, or a magic array creation by the elder mages or the archmages.
It was a thrilling experience…
And, when they looked at the young boy cooking for them in that enclosed space, they understood why he might have locked Himself inside that barrier.
