Chapter 49: Gromp
This month brought an extra expense again.
Although Mr. Cook considered researching gourmet dishes as his hobby, Rhodes still felt embarrassed not contributing anything towards the cost of ingredients.
However, Warm now had the privilege of entering and leaving the kitchen freely, whenever Mr. Cook wasn't too busy.
The only condition was that Warm couldn't touch anything in the kitchen.
This was Rhodes' twelfth day of learning Script Magic.
Thanks to the task Mira had suggested, the atmosphere among Team Shadow Gear had eased up, and soon they were planning to go on their next job together.
Levy, whenever she had free time, came back to tutor Rhodes, while Jet and Droy occasionally stopped by to watch.
However, these past two weeks had made Rhodes realize just how crucial "affinity" is.
When he first started learning Summoning Magic, he could almost immediately use it. But with Script Magic, his progress was far less satisfactory.
For instance, when Levy cast "FIRE," a blazing flame emerged, but when Rhodes cast it, it was more like a torch.
Similarly, when Levy cast "WATER," it produced a substantial amount of water, with considerable force—Rhodes could only manage enough to wash his face.
