The story begins in Food Wars, when Alice took him home.

Then you'll be the first to taste this ultimate delicacy!

Seeing Mito Ikumi's greedy expression, Bai Yuan laughed heartily with satisfaction and then handed her the chopsticks in his hand.

"Gudu."

At the same time, the sound of swallowing was clearly heard in his ear, and Mito Ikumi came in front of him, dressed in her usual gyaru (sexy) outfit.

In other words, if you look down, Bai Yuan can see a bottomless ravine.

However, from this angle, Bai Yuan was probably the first to see it. After all, under normal circumstances, Mito Ikumi wouldn't allow anyone to stare at her like this.

"It's so beautiful, like a work of art!"

Mito Ikumi picked up a slice of fish with her chopsticks, but instead of eating it right away, she held it up high, letting it be bathed in sunlight.

The white fish slices were so thin that they were almost translucent, and the air was filled with the unique aroma of the marinade, making her mouth water uncontrollably.

"This is…"

Suddenly, Mito Ikumi noticed the golden light shimmering on the fish slices and couldn't help but wonder. Everyone else also turned to look at her when they saw her like this.

It wasn't very noticeable originally because it was hidden in the dark sauce.

"Golden shimmer! This sashimi, completed in just a few seconds, is actually a dish of shimmering light!"

Not far away, Erina Nakiri, witnessing all this, also let out an incredulous exclamation. This was also a dish of flowing light?!

In a daze, her eyes met Bai Yuan's.

Looking at his slightly helpless eyes and recalling what he had just said, Erina Nakiri felt a jolt of electricity run through her.

Realizing what had happened, he quickened his pace and swiftly arrived in front of Bai Yuan.

"How dare they sneak away!"

Although Alice Nakiri did not make eye contact with Shiro Awakening, she quickened her pace and followed after Erina Nakiri when she suddenly ran away.

Hisako Niito was also involved in the operation.

As they began to move, the students who had been observing suddenly became restless, their faces displaying various expressions.

Almost simultaneously, they sprang into action, running briskly toward Bai Yuan, pushing and shoving those around them, vying to be at the front.

The scene became chaotic at one point.

"I'll line up behind these four people! I'll remember everyone who tastes my food, and I hope you won't let me down."

Looking at everything before him, Bai Yuan remained calm. When the people at the front were less than three meters away, he suddenly spoke up, telling them to start lining up.

Upon hearing his words, those who had originally chosen Bai Yuan as their target turned around and sprinted towards the back of the group.

"What kind of taste will this 'light-quality' raw marinated fish fillet have?!"

At that moment, Erina Nakiri, standing next to Ikumi Mito, had already picked up a slice of fish covered in sauce and put it in her mouth first.

Seeing this, Mito Ikumi, Nakiri Alice, and Shinoto Hisako were not to be outdone, and they all put the sashimi they picked up into their mouths.

Because the sashimi is sliced ​​extremely thinly, these few minutes are enough for it to absorb the flavors, and now is the perfect time to enjoy it!

With its mouth slightly open, the divine tongue seemed to sense something and sent out a signal of pleasure before colliding with the fish slices and sauce.

Bright and vibrant!

This is the first impression after the fish fillet enters your mouth; the rich flavor explodes in your mouth like a cluster bomb, creating ripples of umami.

Next comes the complex flavor of the sauce, with the rich and savory soy sauce forming the base of the sauce and giving it a deep, rich character.

Next comes fish sauce, which brings the freshness of the ocean and a slightly salty and fishy taste, while complementing and harmonizing with soy sauce.

The aroma of cooking wine permeates the sauce, adding a subtle hint of alcohol and making the overall flavor more complex and appealing.

"The sourness of vinegar, the sweetness of white sugar, the saltiness of salt, the aroma of spices, and I can even detect a subtle, complex spiciness in it."

The countless flavors blend and harmonize with each other, highlighting the natural freshness of the sashimi while also adding a rich flavor coating to the ingredients.

This is the ultimate charm of raw marinating!

The fish slices are vibrant and fresh, the sauce is rich and flavorful. The thinly sliced ​​fish has a slightly chewy texture, offering a satisfying balance without being tough. It's a masterpiece of attention to detail.

"This taste...this taste is like swimming in a sea of ​​rich sauce."

Experiencing a variety of distinct yet harmonious flavors traverse the body is like listening to an elegant symphony of taste!

Erina Nakiri's body was in exaggerated poses, as if she wanted to release all the intense pleasure she felt.

Immediately afterwards, the girl's body trembled slightly, and she lost her balance and fell, but Bai Yuan caught her firmly in his arms.

"You can't even handle one piece? Erina is really weak."

Looking at Erina Nakiri, who had fallen into Bai Yuan's arms, closed her eyes, and whose body was still trembling slightly, Alice Nakiri couldn't help but complain.

God's Tongue is still too sensitive, although it can increase its tolerance by constantly tasting delicious food.

But that doesn't mean she can accept far more delicious food than she can handle at once!

Once the level of deliciousness exceeds the standard, it brings indescribable pleasure; even just one bite is an explosive experience!

"However, this flavor is truly irresistible..."

"Truly worthy of being called a master chef! No matter the dish, he can elevate it to the highest level! Not only are his culinary skills superb, but his progress is also incredibly rapid!"

As she savored the dish before her, Alice Nakiri exclaimed from the bottom of her heart.

I remember when the two first met, Bai Yuan was a very skilled chef, but he still had to be a little more serious to make the Flowing Light Cuisine.

Unlike now, his minimum skill level is Flowing Light Cuisine, and his effortless demeanor makes it clear that this is far from his limit!

"It's so delicious, it's a taste that can never be surpassed in a lifetime! Impossible..."

A surge of power seemed to well up within her, and this thought suddenly popped into Alice Nakiri's mind—unexpected and exceptionally strong!

"Calm your mind."

Simply being able to continuously surpass oneself is already a remarkable achievement.

Bai Yuan raised his hand and patted Alice Nakiri's shoulder, suppressing the surging power within her, his voice exploding in the girl's ears.

Although she spoke very softly, Alice Nakiri inadvertently revealed her innermost thoughts, which were also overheard by Bai Yuan.

"Oh? Sorry, I..."

"There's no need to apologize. It's normal to have this kind of thought. Many chefs who have reached the top level have also had this kind of thought."

Seeing Alice Nakiri's hasty apology, Bai Yuan waved his hand and then looked at Mito Ikumi not far away.

This guy had never appeared in his class before, so this should be considered their first meeting, and also her first time tasting the Flowing Light Cuisine.

"Ah! Amazing! The fresh sensation is overwhelming! It feels like being in the deep sea, being kissed by tiny fish made of sauce!"

She let out a shameful scream, hugged herself tightly, her face flushed red, and squatted down, panting heavily, unable to bear the shock.

Such deliciousness, and it was all prepared in an instant?!

With such superb skills, it's no wonder that Lady Erina admires him so much and has been attending his classes for a whole month!

"Hisako, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll take the three of them over there to rest for a while."

"Well, leave it to me."

Hisako Shirato nodded, took the plate of sashimi from Shirabuchi's hand, and looked at the group behind Alice Nakiri.

"Let's rest under that tree for a while."

Seeing Erina Nakiri gasping for breath and barely able to stand, Shirabuchi released her grip and then spoke to Ikumi Mito, who was squatting beside him.

As for Alice Nakiri, he reached out and grabbed her, intending to offer her some words of comfort.

The team advanced in an orderly manner.

However, there was so little meat on the fish that even when it was sliced ​​thinly, each person only got one slice, and the plate was still emptied when the queue was halfway through.

Those students who didn't get to eat the raw marinated fish slices mustered their courage and approached Bai Yuan, their bodies trembling slightly as they said:

"Teacher, we've finished the sashimi, but there are still over a dozen people here who haven't had a chance to try it. We're very confident in our cooking, so we can come back..."

"No."

Bai Yuan interrupted her without any politeness.

"If you didn't manage to grab it, it's because you're not good enough. Just like this midterm exam, if you don't rank in the top 50, you'll be expelled. There's no room for negotiation!"

"By the way, although the cooking time continues until sunset, the later the dish is completed, the lower the score will be given in terms of time."

Of course, if you can truly deliver a delicious dish that touches people's hearts, I will give you bonus points.

Looking at the girl in front of him, trembling with extreme nervousness, Bai Yuan coldly told her that it was impossible to have another serving.

Everything in the world requires effort. If you could get it just by keeping quiet, it would be far too easy and cheap.

"Yes, I understand!"

The girls, who had come at the urging of the crowd, were already scared. Upon hearing Bai Yuan's extremely blunt words, they immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"Alright, stop standing there and get started cooking!"

By the way, the students ranked in the bottom 100 on the leaderboard will have to sleep in the wilderness at night! The higher the ranking, the better the accommodations!

Seeing the students standing there with disappointed expressions, not moving at all, Bai Yuan dropped another bombshell.

Those who fail not only have to drop out of school, but also have to sleep in the wilderness and feed mosquitoes during the training camp!

Of course, those who can't stand it can apply to withdraw from school, but once you've come this far, no one is willing to withdraw!

"What!?"

"I've never heard of such a thing before!"

"Damn it! Which bastard stole the shrimp I just picked?!"

"Ugh, why is this fish so hard to catch? Just bite the hook already!"

"Who stole my seasoning? You bastard! Give it back right now, or I'll rip your pants off!"

As Bai Yuan finished speaking, the scene, which had quieted down, became noisy again, and everyone started working busily.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Nakiri Erina, who had recovered, and Nakiri Alice, who had regained her confidence after hearing his words.

Mito Ikumi stood beside the two, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Shiroyuki.
