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

"Okay, teacher."

An image comes to mind of an old man, holding a wok with trembling hands, speaking to the students behind him.

Soma Yukihira scratched his hair in frustration, his face full of helplessness.

Soon, he arrived at the foot of the far moon.

"Ah! I failed the advancement exam, my life is over."

Two men in Far Moon uniforms knelt on the ground, their heads bowed, their faces filled with despair, and one of them pounded the ground with his fist.

It's easy to tell from their words that they seem to have failed the exam.

"Whether it's ten million or twenty million, please withdraw my child's withdrawal from school."

The Mediterranean man bent over, his hands tightly wrapped around the arm of a man in a suit, and wept bitterly as he spoke to him.

However, the man in the suit and tie did not respond, but just looked at him indifferently.

"How is this going?"

Looking at the scene before him, Soma Yukihira swallowed hard, his calm heart quite shaken, while he was still on the phone.

"Totsuki Culinary Academy..."

Looking at the towering building in front of me, with a sign that reads "Totsuki Culinary Academy" hanging at the entrance, I heard Yukihira Joichiro's voice coming from the phone in my hand.

"What? Didn't I tell you? The school you go to often is the number one culinary school in Japan, with a graduation rate of less than 10%, a super elite school."

Seemingly imagining his son's shocked expression on the other end of the phone, Yukihira Joichiro's lips curled up slightly as he got off the plane. Then he saw the sign at the airport entrance, with large lettering that read "Welcome to Us."

"Hello, I am Joichiro Yukihira."

Without much hesitation, Yukihira Joichiro, filled with excitement, hung up the phone and strode over, introducing himself as he entered.

"Hello, Mr. Yukihira Joichiro, please get in the car with me. The adults are waiting for you at headquarters."

"I see."

The woman who greeted Yukihira Joichiro was a beautiful woman dressed in business attire with long, black-stockinged legs.

She glanced at the photo on her phone, then respectfully greeted Yukihira Joichiro and gestured for him to enter.

"This is truly outrageous. It's just a culinary academy, yet it's set up so grandly..."

As Soma Yukihira walked into the Totsuki Culinary Academy, he kept looking around and making exclamations as he looked, much like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden.

Not long after, he saw a familiar face in the yard. He was about to greet him with excitement when he noticed that the person suddenly sped up and left before he could catch up.

After thinking for a moment, Soma Yukihira stopped and began to wander aimlessly around the academy, looking left and right, finding everything new and interesting.

"What's going on over there?"

"I don't know. Why did a group of people wearing black cloaks suddenly appear? They look like villains from a TV series."

Inside the academy, the young noblemen who were chatting in twos and threes raised their heads and looked at the group of people who had just entered through the main gate.

Following the sound, Soma Yukihira saw five black-clad figures walking towards him and finally stopping in front of him.

There is also a chair there for resting.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted! You guys insisted on dragging things out, even though we just landed and I haven't had a chance to rest for more than a few minutes before we have to rush over."

Taking off her hood, Liu Yu couldn't help but complain as she rubbed her feet, clearly having walked too much that day.

"And this Black Him, I don't even know where to begin complaining about him. He gets stared at with strange looks wherever he goes. People would think we're doing cosplay!"

Wang Jing tugged at her black clothes, a subtle hint of disdain appearing on her face.

If it weren't for the cold winter, the thick coat, and the hood covering her face, she probably would have taken it off and tossed it aside long ago.

"No one objected when we were asked to wear it, so what's the point of saying all this now? I looked pretty cool when I was looking in the mirror and posing, and I even took a few photos. Who knew it would look so cringeworthy when I actually wore it?"

Zhang Chen couldn't help but retort. He was the one who proposed this idea. When he set off, he thought it was all about looking cool and bringing honor to the dark cuisine world. But after he came out, he found that it wasn't like that at all.

Walking down the street, people looked at them like they were idiots, so they had no choice but to put on a brave face and raise their own standards so that no one would gossip about them behind their backs.

"Now I know why Xiaomei refused to wear this even when she was dying, and why she set off a step ahead of time. She had already foreseen the outcome."

Li Wanwan sighed, a feeling of regret suddenly welling up inside her.

"Actually, it's not so bad. This material is expensive, definitely high-end, and it's custom-made, so it shouldn't look that clownish."

Three girls were sitting, and two boys were standing.

They came to participate in a cooking competition, but instead of discussing cooking, they talked about their outfits.

This surprised Soma Yukihira, because along the way, most of the people he encountered were extremely nervous about the assessment, and even with someone by their side, they still looked uneasy.

"Who are these guys? Why are they acting so calm?"

Soma Yukihira had this question in his mind, but he didn't go up to talk to him. Instead, he sat in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

"It seems that everyone here comes from a prominent family. That car costs a million, and they even have butlers and maids with them. I can't imagine how rich their families must be."

"It's just a prestigious school. If the leader weren't here, I wouldn't have come even if he invited me. Participating in this transfer student assessment is just a waste of time."

Zhang Chen said with a hint of disdain, but at his age, becoming a first-class chef certainly gave him reason to be proud.

"It's best not to underestimate this academy. Since the leader chose to teach here, there must be something extraordinary about it."

"It is the arrival of the leader that makes it unusual, not the other way around. We need to understand the relationship between the events."

"That's true. It's getting late, let's go inside."

After chatting for a while, the group seemed to have rested enough. They stood up, straightened their black clothes, put on their hoods, and headed straight for the large classroom.

Hearing the noise, Soma Yukihira hesitated for a moment before getting up and following. He was unfamiliar with the place and didn't even know the way, so following someone was better than going alone.

As the crowd entered, they entered a large hall.

Soma Yukihira looked around. By this time, the butler and bodyguards had left, leaving only the wealthy young men who had come to take the transfer student exam.

"What happened?"

They found that all the people were standing still, mainly on the side near the entrance, while there were only two people on the inside side, forming an absolute dividing line in the middle.

Seeing this, Soma Yukihira couldn't help but squeeze forward, wanting to see what was going on.

"That person...could it be?"

"It can't be wrong..."

"What should we do? It's actually..."

Seeing Erina Nakiri standing in front of everyone, wearing her school uniform that accentuated her curvaceous figure, the surrounding examinees instantly became restless.

Anxiety spread through the crowd.

"Dear candidates, I am your sole examiner today, Erina Nakiri."

With her arms crossed over her chest, which accentuated her voluptuous figure, Erina Nakiri looked down disdainfully at the anxious examinees below. After a pause, she turned to Hisako Shinoto, who stood obediently to her side, and said, "Where is the admissions office's announcement? It will be read now."

"First, based on the information, we will conduct group interviews in groups of 10, followed by a technical test of three dishes. Those who pass will then..."

"Hmph, utterly boring. Here's what we'll do... bring the kitchen counter over here."

Before Hisako Shinto could finish reading the manuscript in her hand, Erina Nakiri snorted disdainfully and then ordered her to bring over the kitchen counter.

"Yes!"

"What are you doing? What are you trying to do?"

"Material?"

Seeing Erina Nakiri's actions violate the admissions department's announcement, the people below immediately started discussing among themselves, some of them wondering what she was doing.

"The main ingredient is eggs. Only those who can create a dish that satisfies my palate will be allowed to enter Totsuki Academy."

Holding the egg in her hand and fiddling with it, Erina Nakiri looked at the puzzled students in front of her with a playful smile on her face.

"Those who are taking the exam must make a decision within one minute from now. I allow you to give up the exam, which means you abstain."

Looking at the panicked and fluctuating candidates below, Erina Nakiri knew she had achieved her goal, and her mood immediately improved.

Once the assessment here is over, we can go back to Teacher Bai Yuan's class. It's such a waste to waste her time on these useless people!

"Huh, one minute?"

"I...I abstain! I abstain!"

Shouting and yelling as they ran, the group, already unsettled by Erina Nakiri's appearance, seemed to have found an outlet and frantically ran towards the door.

"What happened? Why are you running?!"

Seeing this scene, Soma Yukihira looked puzzled and didn't know what to say. He wanted to grab someone to ask, but they ran too fast and didn't give him the chance.

So he turned his attention to Erina Nakiri, wanting to see what was so special about her that she could scare away so many people.

"As expected of the God Tongue, which is on par with the Super Taste, it eliminated most of our competitors with just a few simple words."

Seeing this scene, Ning Feng couldn't help but sigh.

"God Tongue? I think her name is Erina Nakiri? She doesn't look particularly special, but her figure is frighteningly good. Is she a high school student?!"

Wang Jing looked at her meager chest and couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. This was definitely not the amount of weight she should have at her age!

"You can't tell from appearances. Take Xiaomei, for example. If she didn't tell you she has super-touch, would you know?"

"What you said isn't entirely unreasonable..."

"But the examiner is so young, I thought he would be an old man..."

"I thought he was the leader."

"You're overthinking it. The leader is extremely busy; he doesn't have time for such trivial matters."

In less than a minute, only seven people remained on the scene. Looking at the empty surroundings, the group dressed in black started chatting.

Erina Nakiri also looked over and was somewhat surprised to see so many people staying.

"Lady Erina."

Beside her, Hisako Shinoto quickly found the information on the people in front of her and handed it to Erina Nakiri before standing aside.

"Someone dares to challenge my authority with such arrogance! Very well! Show me your full strength and satisfy my tongue!"

He quickly flipped through the information in his hand. Apart from one red-haired boy whose family owned a humble restaurant, the information of the others was incomplete. He had no idea how these guys had passed the academy's review.
