47 Out Of All Of You Here, This Boy Here Is The Most Delicious

Henry, as well as the other Third Years and Fourth Years were about to stand up and fight, but they hesitated when they saw the talking white-haired Gorilla give them a teasing smile.

It was as if it was telling them that it could snap Ethan’s neck before they could even make a move against him.

“Calm down, Humans, I didn’t come here to eat any of you for dinner,” the four-meter-tall, white-haired Gorilla said, “Although I am very tempted, I just finished eating when you entered my Domain. I also don’t kill anyone unless there’s a good reason.”

As if making his point, the Gorilla rested his giant hand on Ethan’s shoulder, making the blue-haired boy stiffen.

“Don’t be so scared.” the White Gorilla chuckled. “Here, you can have this as a souvenir.”

The Gorilla nonchalantly handed a bone that was still covered in blood to Ethan, which made the latter feel as if his heart was about to leap out of his chest.

“T-Thanks for the gift, but I don’t need it,” Ethan replied, using all the willpower he could muster.

“Don’t be shy.” The White Gorilla insisted with a smile. “If you don’t accept it, I’ll break your arm.”

The Gorilla’s devilish smile made Ethan realize that it wasn’t joking. Because of this, his fear of having his arm broken overshadowed his fear of taking the still bloodied bone from the Gorilla’s hand.

“T-Thank you for the gift.”

“You’re welcome.”

The White-Haired Gorilla then sat beside Ethan on the log he was sitting on. The blue-haired boy thought that the log would be crushed due to the Gorilla’s weight.

But, to his surprise, it remained intact and supported the four-meter tall Magical Creature, whose mannerism was both feral and human-like at the same time.

“Well then, since all of us are now acquainted, why don’t we introduce ourselves to each other?” the White Gorilla proposed. “You Humans call me, Big Foot, and I am slightly offended by it. It is as if you are implying that my foot is really big, when it’s just normal. Still, I don’t like people calling my name in a casual manner, so I would appreciate it if you people don’t spread my name outside this forest.”

The White Gorilla eyed everyone in order to make them understand how serious it was.

“For the duration of your stay here, and whenever you see me here in the forest, you may refer to me as Koko. That is what your Headmaster calls me.”

Henry nodded his head in acknowledgement of the White Gorilla’s name. He didn’t mind calling it Loco, Koko, or Poco, as long as it didn’t hurt the members of his Manor.

Although the Magical Creature in front of him looked calm, friendly, and very eloquent with its choice of words, the Head Prefect of Dud Manor knew that a Sentient Magical Creature was more dangerous than a normal Magical Creature that couldn’t talk.

“This is not the first time I have seen Wizards and Witches entering this deep into the forest,” Koko stated. “Most of them come here to collect herbs and other magical ingredients. But, all of them are adults, or as you call them, the Professors of the Academy.

“We mostly tolerate each other, and not interfere with each other’s business. However, you young ones are very rude, very noisy, and very annoying. There has been more than one occasion when I was tempted to break a few necks.

“All of you are lucky that your Headmaster always gives me offerings to ensure that I won’t specifically target you students. Even so, make no mistake, the moment you provoke me, I will not hesitate to end your lives.

“That being said, I find you people different from those Wizards and Witches. Aside from that little girl who lost consciousness, all of you hold very little, to no magical powers at all. Are you sure all of you are Wizards and Witches?”

Ethan, who remembered his unconscious cousin, picked her body up from the ground and supported her to sit on the log.

He then rested her head on his chest, while his right arm wrapped around her waist, supporting her body.

“I don’t know if you have heard this term before, but we are Duds,” Henry explained as he looked at Ethan and the unconscious Chloe before shifting his gaze to the White Gorilla. “We are part of the Magical World, but we possess little to no magic at all.”

“Interesting.” Koko rubbed his chin. “I am not familiar with the term, since I mostly live here inside the forest. You Humans sure like to put labels on everything.”

The Head Prefect of Dud Manor could only smile bitterly after hearing the White Gorilla’s comments. He had been called a Dud since he was ten years old, and now, he was already used to it.

The White Gorilla then lowered his gaze to look at the blue-haired boy who was seated beside him. A playful smile hung on Koko’s lips as he decided to tell everyone something he found quite amusing.

“Out of all of you here, this boy here is the most delicious,” Koko commented as he lightly patted Ethan’s back, making the other feel as if all of his bones were breaking with each pat the White-Haired Gorilla gave. “Too bad, that Rinehart fellow and I get along pretty well. If not…”

Koko didn’t continue what he was about to say, and left his words hanging.

However, Ethan, as well as everyone who were looking at the Magical Creature, understood what the latter was implying and it wasn’t joking in the slightest.

Suddenly, Luna did the unthinkable, which made the White-Haired Gorilla look at her with great interest.

“Why is he the most delicious here?” Luna asked. “Do Magical Creatures have a way of determining which creatures taste delicious or not?”

“Good question, young lady,” Koko replied. “And the answer is, not all Magical Creatures have this ability. Only those that have a keen sense of smell, taste, touch, and vision, can determine which Humans are more delicious than others. If I am going to be completely honest, you are the second most delicious person here.

Similar to Ethan, Luna was giving off a peculiar smell that was quite enticing to Magical Creatures like him.

‘I regret making a promise to that Rinehart fellow now,’ Koko thought as he held back the strong urge to eat Ethan and Luna then and there. ‘Fortunately, I ate that Panther before coming here to meet them. Otherwise, I might have lost control and gobbled them up before I got hold of my senses.’ 𝞸𝔳𝗅xt.𝓒𝒪𝓂

The White-Haired Gorilla sighed in his heart because he was unable to eat the two delicacies that were currently in the same place as him.
