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

And so, a new round of assessments officially began!

"I'm so tired! My shoulders are killing me. I only got 58 points today. That teacher is so strict. I thought I did pretty well this time."

In the hot spring bath, Yoshino Yuuki poured warm water over her head, then vigorously shook herself, a look of utter enjoyment on her face. She then complained to Sakaki Ryoko beside her.

"I also think you performed quite well, but before you complain, why don't you take a look at my score? It's only 53 points, which is unbearable!"

Ryoko Sakaki poured a basin of warm water over herself, clenching her fists and looking annoyed. She felt she could have gotten at least 60+ points, but she only got 53.

"Speaking of which, Xiaohui is really amazing. She's like a completely different person compared to usual. This time, she's the only one among us to break 60!"

What exactly happened to make Xiaohui transform so amazing?

As she spoke, Yoshino Yuuki reached out and hugged Tadokoro Megumi, her face filled with envy.

This guy used to be the worst among them, but after only a few days, how did he suddenly become the leader?!

"Actually, there's nothing special about it. I just went bungee jumping with Teacher Bai Yuan."

At the moment I jumped from a height of 100 meters, I felt that everything in life had lost its meaning. Then I realized I hadn't died, and things I couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.

Upon hearing Yoshino Yuuki's question, Tadokoro Megumi subtly looked away, but inwardly she was also surprised that she had received such a high score.

In their testing area, she came in first with a score of 68, and a blond boy came in second with a score of 67.

In the past, this was something she would never have dared to even think about.

"Bungee jumping? That kind of sport where you leap off the sky and feel a sense of transcendence."

Could it be that the moment one jumps into the water can bring sudden enlightenment?!

Upon hearing Tadokoro Megumi's words, Yoshino Yuuki released her grip on her, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"How about I give it a try? Maybe my cooking skills will improve significantly when I come back, and I can at least break 60 points in the exam."

After a long pause, Yoshino Yuuki suddenly spoke, a hint of interest appearing on her face.

"Come on, Xiaohui went bungee jumping to overcome her psychological barrier, but for you, it's just pure entertainment. You'll only get a scare and nothing else."

Ryoko Sakaki said mercilessly, "This guy is really delusional. Megumi can become stronger because she was already powerful; she just hadn't been able to unleash her full potential before."

"Eh...what a pity."

Upon hearing Ryoko Sakaki's words, Yuuki Yoshino sighed resignedly, then looked at the area in front of her with a regretful expression.

"Speaking of which, don't we eat the same food? Why is there such a big difference in our development...?"

"Hey! You said not to touch me!"

"Enough talk, take this! The righteous tickling attack!"

As she watched, her feelings grew increasingly complicated. Yoshino Yuuki angrily reached out her hand, wanting to touch something she had never possessed.

"Damn it! Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too! Xiao Hui won't get away with this either!"

“Eh…!?”

Feeling her body being invaded, Ryoko Sakaki blushed and resisted, then launched a counterattack, while also pulling Megumi Tadokoro into the water.

For a moment, the hot spring bathhouse was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Speaking of which, what do you guys think of Teacher Bai Yuan?"

After the fun and excitement, exhaustion followed.

Soaking in the hot spring, Yoshino Yuuki spread her arms and legs, assuming the most relaxed posture, while asking Tadokoro Megumi and Sakaki Ryoko for their opinions on Shirabuchi.

"A very responsible and handsome teacher. What? Why are you suddenly talking about Teacher Bai Yuan? Do you like him, Yu Ji?"

Ryoko Sakaki stood with her legs together, her elbows resting on the hot spring wall, her long red hair tied up, her demeanor exceptionally dignified.

Upon hearing Yoshino Yuuki's words, an expression of interest immediately appeared on her face. Was she finally going to talk about her favorite topic: romance?!

"I wouldn't call it that, but I definitely have feelings for her, and I even admire her. It's really hard to imagine that there could be such a perfect teacher in this world!"

Yoshino Yuuki looked up at the ceiling, her cheeks flushed from the steam of the hot spring, and her eyes squinted comfortably.

"I quite like it. Yes, that's right, I like it, I'm very sure of my feelings."

Hearing Yoshino Yuuki's words, Tadokoro Megumi also stared at the ceiling, a faint blush on her face. Her mind was filled with the image of yesterday, when Shirobuchi carried her and leaped from the sky.

The racing heart at that moment was undeniable; despite the suspension bridge effect of jumping from such a height, there was definitely also the attraction to him.

After all, her heart was already racing the moment she reached out and hugged him before she jumped!

"Eh!?"

"real or fake!"

Upon hearing Tadokoro Megumi's self-disclosure, Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"Indeed, Teacher Bai Yuan is amazing. He exudes a mature charm, even though he is not very old."

Although she's very strict in class, she's very kind to people outside of class, so it's normal to like her.

As Yoshino Yuuki spoke, she lifted her foot and dropped it into the water.

The calm water surface was suddenly rippled by her movements, and thinking of Bai Yuan's teaching style, she was indeed very intellectual.

Humans are inherently creatures that admire strength. They naturally view those who are more capable than themselves through a beauty filter, believing that whatever they do is good.

Now that you mention it, I think I might be a little tempted.

However, such an outstanding man must have many suitors. Xiaohui, you'd better work harder. Be careful that Teacher Bai Yuan doesn't get snatched away!

Ryoko Sakaki also spoke up, saying that she also had a high level of affection for Shiro Akimoto. His good looks and serious work ethic alone were enough to attract her.

"That's right, it seems that Alice Nakiri is also interested in him. They're always exchanging glances, and their eyes are practically locked in a passionate exchange."

"Indeed, not just her, I think that..."

The conversation immediately became lively when they started talking about love gossip, and the girl's face was filled with excited smiles.

And coincidentally, after continuous discussion, they all harbored the idea that Bai Yuan was excellent and worthy of their admiration.

"hum"

Having just finished showering, wearing a pristine white bathrobe, Erina Nakiri emerged from the women's bath, humming an unknown tune as she prepared to return to her room to rest.

She was initially overjoyed, but as she turned the corner in the stairwell, she bumped into a man and nearly fell to the ground.

"Place your hands on..."

Teacher Bai Yuan, it's you.

Feeling the hand on her waist, Erina Nakiri was about to push him away and curse him when she realized that the person who came was Shirobuchi.

She immediately withdrew what she was about to say.

"Don't be so hasty in doing things. Take a look at the road ahead. It's lucky that you ran into me; if it were someone else, you would have fallen to the ground by now."

Do you know where Alice is?

Feeling the softness of her arm, he subconsciously reached out to help her. Unexpectedly, he ran into Erina Nakiri. Bai Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "Fate is such a wonderful thing."

"You were the one who bumped into me!"

As for where Alice is, I don't know. She's not in the same testing area as me. By the way, can't you call her...?

"That's why I came looking for them. It's because they didn't answer my call."

Upon hearing Erina Nakiri's words, Bai Yuan couldn't help but look at her as if she were an idiot.

If he could be reached by phone, why would he bother wandering around here?

"They're probably still taking a shower and left their phones outside. Each floor of this hotel has its own private hot spring bath. Teacher Bai Yuan, you should try it, it's super comfortable!"

After being helped to her feet, Bai Yuan withdrew his hand. Nakiri Erina stretched with a satisfied look on her face, ignoring his gaze, and then said excitedly.

It's clear that the hot springs here are really comfortable, otherwise this young lady wouldn't be recommending them so enthusiastically.

"Let's leave it for now, I have some things to take care of. By the way, you need to study hard for this assessment, the instructors are all top chefs from China."

If you become complacent and unserious just because you're teaching basic stuff, you'll definitely be surpassed and thoroughly crushed by others.

Bai Yuan shook his head. Although he really wanted to relax, he still had a lot of things to deal with.

The most important task was to purchase ingredients from the market, which was about to close. He didn't trust others to do this, so he insisted on doing it himself.

"I understand. After taking your class, I understand the importance of the basics, so I can't be lazy and not study just because it's easy."

Seeing that Bai Yuan didn't have time, Nakiri Erina immediately showed a regretful expression, then nodded seriously, indicating that she would not slack off.

"See you later then. Get some rest tonight, things won't be easy starting tomorrow."

As he spoke, Bai Yuan waved his hand and disappeared down the corridor from Nakiri Erina's sight.

"Speaking of which, where did the teacher take those underachievers? I'm a little curious, but since they've already left, I'd better not ask."

Looking at the spot where Bai Yuan had left, she gently stroked the place where he had just embraced her.

Feeling the lingering warmth above, Erina Nakiri's feelings were quite complicated.

To conceal this subtle feeling, she couldn't help but mutter to herself softly, trying to distract herself, but she couldn't hide her blushing.

"Let's play cards with Hisako tonight, but I have to get up early tomorrow morning, what a hassle..."

"Maybe I should just go to bed early, but I'm also a little reluctant. We've finally managed to get out here, so we should do some activities."

"Oh my, my heart is beating so fast!"

Chapter 110 No way, you can flip a pot with a leaky bottom?!

"Brother Bai Yuan, over here, over here!"

In the hallway on the third floor, seeing Alice Nakiri wearing a bathrobe and enthusiastically greeting him, Bai Yuan stepped up.

"What are you doing?"

As they approached, Alice Nakiri took two steps forward and hugged him, sniffing greedily with a look of pure enjoyment on her face.

"The scent of Brother Baiyuan, the original smell of someone who hasn't had a proper rest all day, is so exciting!"

"Don't say such perverted things so seriously."

Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's words, Bai Yuan helplessly tapped her on the head.

He would only take a couple of deep breaths when he smelled something, unlike this guy who wanted to take his pants off and smell them. He's a total pervert!
