The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 793

Chapter 793: The Greenhouse

Sunlight filtered through the high glass ceiling, bright and clean, pouring down in sheets that illuminated everything below.

Sam had to squint, the sudden light catching him off guard. He couldn’t help but look up because the sky was clearly more visible now.

Sure enough, they were really outside.

Or at least, it felt that way.

Maybe he should have looked down first.

Because the moment he did, Sam almost jumped out of his skin.

Before him, rows and rows of raised beds stretched outward in neat, deliberate lines. They were overflowing with lush green leaves and clusters of ripe fruit that looked almost unreal in their abundance.

Moreover, the entire place was blinding under his visual resonance. They weren’t joking when they said they were farming all of those.

"Holy he—"

Sam didn’t get to finish the expletive.

Marco’s hand clamped over his mouth, his body reacting automatically as he glanced toward the children who were equally stunned but far more expressive.

It was a nice gesture.

But the kids wouldn’t have heard Sam anyway. Not even if he tried harder.

Because at that moment, the kids had more things to focus on than someone making an oopsie.

They were focused on Jax and on the way the place made them feel excited.

Their hearts were beating faster as everything around them seemed new, amazing, and absolutely unreal.

The temperature was noticeably colder, but the kids wearing their smaller overalls thought it was the best thing ever.

Some of them wiggled and brrrr-ed in place before laughing hysterically.

Not only had the temperature changed, but the air itself felt different. It was fresh. Faintly sweet. And undeniably alive.

So alive that several children nearly shrieked when their newest big brother idol suddenly pointed toward the far end of the greenhouse.

There, towering above them, stood a massive glass structure with thick pipes that branched outward.

It was transparent.

And it was filled with water.

"Huh?"

One of the kids jerked back and pointed when he saw something move inside.

"That’s our fish tank," Jax said easily. "We grow fish in there that help produce the nutrients needed by the plants to grow. Inside the tank are fish we raise for food."

"!!!"

"Fish?"

The word bounced between the children as they turned to each other, eyes wide, mouths open. They didn’t know what that was but it sounded really exciting!

"Wow!"

Yes.

It was definitely wow.

Because Sam and Marco both felt their knees weaken as they realized that even the water inside that tank was brimming with spiritual energy.

Did this place not need guards?

Or barriers?

Or a full lockdown?

Their cold sweat and rising panic did not seem to faze the redheaded cadet at all.

Instead, Jax nodded eagerly at the children, clearly pleased with their reactions.

"But before I tell you about this giant contraption," he said cheerfully, "you might want to look at this first. That way, you can understand why we had to build something like this in the first place."

And just like that, the children leaned forward again.

Ready to be amazed all over.

Jax led them to the side, stopping in front of a clear display case that immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Inside was a single plant shown at different stages of its life.

One was just a tiny sprout barely peeking out of the soil. Another had grown leaves. Another stood taller, fuller, heavy with life. The last looked mature, steady, and unmistakably healthy.

Jax crouched slightly so the kids could see better.

"Okay," he said cheerfully, "so this is one of my kids growing up."

Several children nodded seriously, as if this made perfect sense.

"For a plant to survive and grow strong," Jax continued, counting on his fingers, "it needs good soil with the right nutrients, enough water, light, air, and the right temperature so it doesn’t get sick and can grow big and strong."
