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

It's unclear whether this is an opportunity for them or the beginning of their suffering.

Watching Bai Yuan's departing figure, Lia murmured to herself, a subtle blush rising on her face:

"It's really interesting, though. I wonder what kind of expressions those guys outside will have when they see these losers who should have been eliminated reappear and defeat them!"

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Stepping forward, Bai Yuan frowned as he looked at the noisy students in front of him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the previously whispering scene fell silent, and everyone was looking at him.

"See those iron pots over there? You have to toss them twenty times, cook with mud and sand, and make sure the amount of mud left in the pot is no less than the red line. Otherwise, it's considered unqualified and you have to start over. Now, you all supervise each other. You're not allowed to eat until you pass the test!"

Anyone who reports shortchanging their child will be treated to a meal prepared by a top-tier chef. Anyone found shortchanging their child will be expelled!

As Bai Yuan spoke, he walked over to a pile of black iron pots, casually picked one up, and showed it to everyone.

"This...this iron pot actually has cracks!"

Anzu Yasuda stared in shock at the iron pot in front of her. There was a long crack on the huge pot, and below the crack was a red line that represented the standard of compliance.

"It's simply impossible to toss the food in this kind of iron wok without spilling too much mud and sand!"

"Exactly! How could such a thing possibly be possible!"

"Look, apart from this one, the others all have some defects!"

Everyone looked over and were astonished to find that there wasn't a single intact iron pot in the huge Iron Pot Mountain!

"Alright, enough talk, let's get started. I have to go down the mountain for something. From now on, she will be your proctor."

As Bai Yuan finished speaking, Liya appeared beside him. She had changed into the uniform of a top-level Chinese chef, revealing a dragon-shaped armband on her left arm.

"Hello everyone, I will be your proctor for this month. Don't ask me if I have a boyfriend. The person I like is right here."

With a smile, Lia greeted the shocked students while glancing at Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan simply shrugged and made no comment.

Chapter 109 Kids, are you really willing to accept this?

"That's...that's a dragon-shaped armband that you can only get by passing the Chinese Master Chef Test, representing the status of a Master Chef!"

Swallowing hard, a slightly chubby boy in the crowd pointed at Leah's arm, his voice filled with barely suppressed shock.

"A top-tier chef from China?!"

Upon hearing the boy's words, the people around him also reacted, their eyes fixed on Leah's left arm, wanting to see what was going on.

The vast majority of them had never seen the armband of a top-level chef in China.

Seeing this, Lia raised her hand without flinching, displaying the dragon-shaped armband to everyone.

"A star surrounds the dragon-shaped armband, a special mark only a one-star chef can have!"

Such a talented chef, and he's just an ordinary teaching assistant here?!

Swallowing hard, a sharp-eyed fellow noticed the subtle difference in the armband on Leah's hand.

A lone star was encircled around his armband.

That's the mark of a one-star chef!

"Mine is nothing compared to Boss Bai's outfit! It's the real deal! It's a model for us all. I dream of wearing it again."

Seeing the shocked crowd, Lia scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, then looked at Bai Yuan, who was watching the show from the side, and pushed him forward.

"Don't you often sneak off to wear these clothes? I've kept that dress in my closet. You can just take it if you want; there's no need to be sneaky."

"Hey, we've been found out."

But I should have been very discreet. How did you find out? Did your brother tell on you?!

Seeing Bai Yuan's ambiguous smile, Liya wasn't embarrassed. She just gave a cute and ingratiating laugh, then pretended to be angry and said...

"Does Aiden know about this too? Whatever, how could I forget the scent of your perfume?"

"Huh!!? So the revealing point was the perfume..."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Liya suddenly realized what was going on.

When she first joined the world of culinary disasters, she would often sneak into Bai Yuan's room when he wasn't around, open his wardrobe, and put on his top-tier chef's uniform.

The seven glittering stars on his left arm are so striking that no one would be confused.

I thought I'd done a good job of keeping it a secret, and that Bai Yuan was an idiot. But I never expected he was deliberately unaware. What should I do? I'm suddenly feeling a little touched.

"Don't look at me like that. These guys are yours. None of them are allowed to pass if they don't meet the requirements!"

Looking at the shocked people behind him, Bai Yuan thought for a few seconds before turning around and speaking into the crowd.

"This is the first and last time I will ask this question on my own initiative."

"Is there any one of you who can't tolerate these conditions? I can have you all expelled. Given your abilities, you're destined to fail if you stay; you know that."

silence…

One second, two seconds.

No one responded to Bai Yuan's words. Everyone kept their heads down. No one wanted to drop out of school, but staying here seemed to be very painful.

If I fail to complete the task assigned by Bai Yuan…

Thinking of Bai Yuan's initial words: "Those who dare to resist will be pushed off the cliff by me."

Although it sounded like a joke, they knew Bai Yuan was extremely serious! And he also had that ruthless bandit-like aura about him.

“If no one steps forward, then I will assume that you have accepted my conditions and must obey me unconditionally here!”

I'm a very reasonable person. As long as you complete the assessment I set, I'll give you everything you want!

Don't you really want to bring down those once-arrogant geniuses and replace them?!

Bai Yuan's final words were powerful, carrying an inexplicable aura that stirred the blood of the silent crowd.

"I want to...I want to! How could I not want to?! I think about it every day. If only I were more capable, I could stand out at school and the girl I like wouldn't be snatched away by someone else!"

Among the boys with their heads down, a curly-haired boy suddenly raised his head, looking intently at Bai Yuan, his initial hesitation turning into unwavering determination.

"Great, what's your name?"

"Kenji Nishikio!"

The boy with curly hair—or rather, Kenji Nishiki—looked intently at Bai Yuan.

"Okay, I'll remember your name!"

I admire your courage, but being a good cook isn't enough to win a girl's heart. However, a capable man definitely has an advantage when pursuing a woman, so your thinking isn't wrong.

"Is there anyone else who wants to? Does no one else here dare to even think about it besides him? If so, you should go back. You have absolutely no chance of succeeding."

"We can do it! I want to, I want to bring down those guys who used to be so high and mighty and never even looked at me!"

But no matter how hard I try, I can't shake off the reputation of being a loser. In fact, I am that weak. Maybe I just don't have a talent for cooking...

A short-haired girl started crying as she spoke. She had once cut her hair short to make it look neat, but now it had grown back to short.

But making up your mind is useless; being at the bottom of the class remains at the bottom, nothing changes...

"Look up at me! And what's your name?"

"Ruoji... Qingguo Ruoji."

Qingguo Ruoji raised her head, wiped away her tears with the inside of her palm, and looked at Bai Yuan with intense eyes. She really wanted to become stronger!

"Okay, then let me tell you, even the least talented chef can make up for their shortcomings through hard work."

I'll be keeping a close eye on you during this special training to see if you're as diligent as you claim.

"Yes! I understand, Teacher Bai Yuan!"

"I think so too. Those high-achieving students always look down on us. We're just not very good at cooking, not that we're bad people. Why do they look at us like that?!"

"Count me in! I'll drag them all down with me sooner or later..."

"Kill them..."

As one student after another expressed their determination, more and more people were stirred up. Thinking about how they were usually looked down upon by high-achieving students, they felt a fire burning in their hearts.

Totsuki Academy is arguably the academy with the most severe hierarchy of contempt. It seems as if the existence of people like them, who are at the bottom of the culinary hierarchy, is a mistake.

"Very well, then let me see your resolve, you brats!"

"Oh!"

Seeing the young men and women whose emotions had been fully stirred, Bai Yuan smiled with satisfaction. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

If these guys just can't muster any motivation, no matter how capable he is, he'll be powerless in this situation.

They are young people after all; with a little stimulation, they can unleash their full potential.

"Keep it up, kids."

After saying this, Bai Yuan glanced at Liya beside him. The girl nodded slightly to him, indicating that she would take good care of these people.

Bai Yuan waved his hand and turned to leave.

On the other side, in hotel accommodation area C.

"After completing one hundred dishes, you can go back to sleep. The first ten students to finish their dishes will receive a reward of one hundred to ten points, depending on their ranking."

"hurry up!"

"Since there are points as a reward, I'm sure I can make it into the top ten!"

"Mom, I will definitely stay!"

Wearing a black suit and sunglasses, the man looked at the students rushing towards the kitchen counter with a serious expression.

"is teacher!"

Such scenes occurred on various floors of the hotel.

Because the hotel is located in the city center, with many famous scenic spots nearby, and it is currently the peak tourist season, many guests come every day.

This has led to a surge in demand for food, and hotels are short of chefs.

In this situation, the students from Totsuki who participated in the midterm exam and whose level was quite good could be put to good use.
