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

As a top-class chef, he had also participated in similar assessments, and unsurprisingly, he failed miserably.

"It mainly depends on the chef's level. There is a different way to be a first-class chef. As long as you have enough talent, you can still succeed."

Ning Feng added explanations from the side.

"Only those who pass the Dark Cuisine World's assessment are qualified to call themselves members of the Dark Cuisine World when they go out; otherwise, they cannot identify themselves as members of the Dark Cuisine World."

Li Wanwan murmured to herself. She was one of the first people to follow Bai Yuan and witnessed him build the Dark Cuisine World.

Although she earned the title of a full member based on her seniority, she knew in her heart that she didn't have the ability at all, which is why she wanted to come here to prove herself.

She, Li Wanwan, is second to none!

There are three official members of the Dark Cuisine World who have come here: her, Liu Yu, and Wang Jing. Liu Yu and Wang Jing are truly deserving of the title.

Although he appears lazy and unambitious, he possesses exceptional talent and is a true genius.

Looking up at Liu Yu and Wang Jing playing around upstairs, Li Wanwan's eyes were filled with undisguised envy. She wished she had such amazing talent.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. I didn't bring much luggage this time. I'll have to do some shopping on the spot tomorrow. I need to get some rest early tonight."

"makes sense."

Chapter 160 Soma Yukihira's First Battle of Tokatsu.

"It's a pretty good dish, but if that's all you've got, you probably can't even beat me. You should keep a low profile when you're out and about in the future, and don't say things like you did this morning. There are at least ten people in Totsuki who are stronger than me."

Looking at the mackerel burger steak emitting a rich aroma on the plate, Yoshino Yuuki picked up her chopsticks, snapped out of her reverie, and looked at Yukihira Soma very seriously.

After receiving more than half a year of special training from Bai Yuan, her strength has undergone tremendous changes. If she only had this level, she might not be able to beat her.

Of course, she didn't think it was a shameful thing, after all, she was considered a strong person in Totsuki.

"They only used these scraps, and the dish they made might not even be one they're good at. You can't tell how skilled they really are."

Ryoko Sakaki wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth and calmly stated the facts, then looked at Soma Yukihira: "It's really amazing that you can make such a dish with these scraps!"

"What I'm saying is that when using these scraps, our skill levels are about the same. We'll only know for sure after we compete."

Even though they were roommates in the Polar Star Dormitory, Yoshino Yuuki was still very dissatisfied with what Soma Yukihira said at the opening ceremony.

He didn't say anything on the way, because he didn't know the other person's background and was worried that he might actually have some skills, and that he would only make a fool of himself by speaking rashly.

But now, she feels confident in herself.

It wasn't that she was dissatisfied with Yukihira Soma looking down on Totsuki, but rather that she was angry at him for looking down on Hakuen, who was her most respected teacher.

Under Bai Yuan's leadership, although a large number of Totsuki students were eliminated, those who remained were absolutely elite, and their strength was much greater than before, which shows how powerful their teacher was.

However, this kid in front of me clearly doesn't know anything. He just arrived and immediately belittled all the students of Totsuki, calling them a bunch of uncultured chefs. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face to Teacher Baiyuan.

If this guy were truly far superior to her, that would be one thing, and he would have reason to be proud. But with this level of skill, he really can't mock Totsuki right now.

The initial calm had passed, and realizing that the other party was about the same strength as her, the next step was to give him a warning to prevent him from becoming too arrogant and complacent.

Overly proud people don't go very far on the path of becoming chefs.

"You'll only know after you've compared them..."

Soma Yukihira softly uttered those words. Despite having prepared a dish that even Granny Fumio found incredibly satisfying, which earned him entry into the dormitory, he failed to intimidate the others. Instead, it fueled their frenzied provocations against him.

"Then let's have a match."

He knew in his heart that these people in front of him were not as kind as he had imagined, probably because of what he had said at the entrance ceremony.

If you're not convinced, then let's fight.

“Okay, tomorrow we’ll each go down the mountain to buy ingredients. As for the theme, I’m craving duck, so let’s make it duck-themed.”

"Okay, I have no problem!"

As if she had been waiting for these words, Yoshino Yuuki pondered for a moment before speaking, then looked at Tadokoro Megumi and Sakaki Ryoko with a victorious expression.

"You."

Yoshino Yuuki's antics led Soma Yukihira to join in, leaving Sakaki Ryoko with a helpless expression, unsure of what to say.

"It seems quite interesting. In that case, I, your mother-in-law, will continue to serve as the examiner."

Oomido Fumio glanced at Yukihira Soma, who had just shocked her, and then at Yoshino Yuuki, whose strength had increased rapidly during this period, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

I haven't encountered something this interesting in a long time.

An internal showdown within the Polaris Dormitory!

A memory from over a decade ago flashed through her mind: a group of students would hold cooking competitions at the Polaris Dormitory every day after class, with her serving as the judge.

This has always been the motto of Totsuki Academy.

competition.

"The competition is scheduled for tomorrow evening. Before that, you should all go back and rest. You red-haired kid, your room is 303."

As they were talking, a key was tossed into Soma Yukihira's arms. No one knew where this kid came from, but he could make such a delicious dish from scraps. It was truly impressive.

"it is good."

Yukihira Soma took the key that Oomido Fumio tossed to him and nodded. In any case, he had settled down and was no longer homeless.

Moreover, the fact that he was challenged one after another right after entering the school, and that they were all strong opponents, was truly exciting!

"Let's go back and rest too. I'm really looking forward to our match tomorrow, Yukihira-kun."

Looking at the man in front of her, Yoshino Yuuki withdrew her gaze. Having learned from Shirobuchi for so long, it was time to show the world her claws.

"Brother Bai Yuan, I'm back."

A slightly cheerful voice rang out from the doorway, but there was no response.

Alice Nakiri looked puzzled, then placed the purchased items in the entryway.

She turned around and closed the door, took off the boots she had worn all day, and slowly peeled off the black stockings that were binding her thighs, placing them aside.

Soon, her delicate, jade-like feet were exposed to the air, dangling nimbly twice. Then, as if remembering something, Alice Nakiri blushed and quickly put her slippers back on.

She got up and walked into the living room. The lights were on, indicating that someone was home, but no one responded, which puzzled Alice Nakiri.

But soon, as she looked toward the courtyard, her doubts were resolved.

Bai Yuan and Erina Nakiri stood one behind the other, with Bai Yuan in the back and Erina in the front. Bai Yuan was teaching Erina Nakiri the moves.

She wasn't unfamiliar with such a scene; to be precise, it was like this when she first started practicing martial arts, with Bai Yuan teaching her each basic movement step by step.

Despite the many movements at present, what is actually taught is the most basic of the basics. What is most needed is the girl's persistence, and it will take at least a year to see results.

In other words, she will see this scene at least several hundred more times.

Of course, what concerned her even more was that since Bai Yuan was training Nakiri Erina in martial arts, it meant that he was treating her as a disciple.

"Tsk, they clearly agreed that I would be their only disciple."

Alice Nakiri pouted, knowing she had no right to refuse. She placed the shopping bag on the table and stood there like a waiting-for-husband statue, watching the two people in front of her who seemed to be one with each other.

"Hold this position for an hour so that your muscles can get a full workout before moving on to the next exercise."

Feeling the softness in front of him and smelling the girl's delicate fragrance, Bai Yuan was immediately distracted, so much so that the girl noticed the strangeness behind him.

However, she didn't take it to heart. She was only concerned that Bai Yuan might have something stuck in his pocket that was slightly uncomfortable, but it wasn't a big deal.

"I understand, I will persevere."

Watching Bai Yuan leave quickly, for some reason, Nakiri Erina felt a little empty, but she quickly calmed herself down and focused on her movements.

Although the movement made her arms sore, it also made her feel that she was improving, even though the posture was strange.

"came back."

Seeing Alice Nakiri standing in the living room gazing at the yard, her eyes fixed on him, Bai Yuan walked over with a smile, his voice gentle.

"Well, I'm back."

"What's wrong? You seem a bit down, or rather, depressed..."

When he arrived in front of Alice Nakiri, she didn't rush into his arms with a smile as she usually did. Instead, she called out softly.

This immediately put Bai Yuan on alert. He racked his brain trying to figure out what he had done to offend her, but he couldn't think of anything.

He then turned his puzzled gaze to Erina Nakiri, and found some answers.

"Jealous?"

Bai Yuan asked tentatively.

"no!"

To everyone's surprise, Alice Nakiri reacted quite strongly, turning her head away and speaking briefly and quickly.

"I see. Don't worry, you are my only disciple, that's for sure. You don't need to be jealous of others."

With a little thought, one could easily figure out where Nakiri Alice's jealousy came from. Bai Yuan was speechless for a moment, but he still patted her head and gently comforted her.

"Do not believe."

The words were still brief and quick, but this time there was a hint of playfulness in the voice, clearly indicating satisfaction with the person in front of him.

No matter what, as long as he was willing to coax her, she felt she could accept anything.

"You have to believe it whether you want to or not."

Bai Yuan naturally understood this, and then embraced Nakiri Alice, letting his own burning, beating heart resonate with hers.

Many problems can actually be solved with a hug, because people who don't love each other won't feel any heartbeat when they hug.

Lovers can forget all their unhappiness in this atmosphere.

Alice Nakiri naturally sensed Shiro's love, and her somewhat complicated feelings calmed down. She then hugged him tightly and refused to let go for a long time.

In the courtyard, Erina Nakiri witnessed everything, her hazy eyes revealing a mixture of understanding and confusion, and a slight blush spreading across her face.

These two guys are actually being so affectionate in front of her! It's absolutely despicable!

Looking at the scene before her, a multitude of thoughts flooded Erina Nakiri's mind.

Most of what she heard was what Alice Nakiri said to her that night.

"Erina, do you understand your own feelings?"

She realized that, just as Alice had said, she did indeed have some improper thoughts about Bai Yuan.
