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

It's not shameful to be defeated by a dish of exceptional quality!

"Why would someone so capable of creating dishes of the Radiant level come to Totsuki?"

Could there be some kind of conspiracy...?

Compared to Erina Nakiri's optimism, Hisako Shinoto was somewhat worried. A seven-star chef is a national treasure in any country, so how could they be easily transferred out?

But Bai Yuan's sudden appearance at Totsuki Academy makes it hard not to suspect that there might be some kind of conspiracy involved...

"I don't know, but Grandpa personally reviews all the teachers recruited by Totsuki Academy, so there shouldn't be any major problems under normal circumstances."

Moreover, this is an opportunity! As long as I seize it firmly, I will definitely surpass Alice! I must wash away the shame brought by that food battle!

Thinking of the food battle three days ago, Erina Nakiri's face showed a look of resentment.

She lost that food battle entirely because of the information gap. If she had known earlier that Alice Nakiri possessed Special Grade strength, she would have stalled for time!

Although she is not afraid of challenges, she is not stupid. Naturally, she would not go and invite trouble when she knows she is no match for her opponent.

"A chef who specializes in Chinese cuisine... wait, doesn't he look about our age?"

As if suddenly realizing something, Hisako Shinoto stopped in her tracks, her face filled with undisguised horror.

Because Bai Yuan was a teacher, they subconsciously felt that he was in a high position and that his prowess was a given when he taught them.

But now that I've come to my senses and thought about it carefully, isn't a seven-star chef in his twenties a bit too outrageous?

"Yeah, he looks so young! Even if he's older than us, he can't be more than a few years older! But... this young man is actually a top-tier seven-star chef?! Grandpa is only a six-star chef!"

Erina Nakiri was momentarily lost in thought, recalling their chance encounter in the corridor, which she had initially found to be a romantic comedy.

But now, considering Bai Yuan's status as a top-tier seven-star chef, this is quite terrifying!

Especially considering that Senzaemon Nakiri was only a Special Grade Six-Star Chef, it's said that he was stuck at Special Grade Six-Star Chef for over thirty years…

"Where did Grandpa find this monster from...?"

Even though Erina Nakiri was very confident in her talent, she could only worship Hakugen, who was practically a bug in the world, at this moment.

"Hurry up, Hisako!"

Suddenly, Erina Nakiri spoke up.

"what?"

Hisako Niito was a little confused, but she quickened her pace as instructed.

"I'll go home and change my clothes, then rush back to listen to Teacher Bai Yuan's lecture. I want to perform well and leave a deep impression on him!"

To put it simply, Erina Nakiri sped up in the corridor and eventually ran, ultimately becoming the very thing she hated most.

Chapter 89 Bai Yuan imparts his knowledge: What is medicinal cuisine?

"Hold the knife steady, and strike accurately."

In my opinion, 99% of you guys are unqualified! If you don't build a solid foundation, you'll never break through to the top rank in your lifetime!

Holding a ruler, he wandered back and forth in the classroom, observing the students' progress.

Watching Yoshino Yuuki constantly peek out to watch others cook, as lively as a monkey, Shirabuchi's ruler struck her head.

"Meditation."

The force wasn't great, and the shock didn't hurt. Bai Yuan's voice was calm, but it revealed an indescribable authority, which immediately made Yoshino Yuuki behave.

In front of her were apples and mushrooms, presumably intended as garnishes, but it was unclear whether she could handle them well.

"You cut it quite well, but it was a bit slow. However, for a student like you, it's not a problem. You should practice your knife skills more in the future."

"Yes, Professor Bai Yuan!"

Turning to look at Tadokoro Megumi beside him, Shirabuchi's voice softened considerably, because she was indeed cutting quite well, just too slowly.

Everyone else had finished preparing the ingredients, but she had only just finished slicing the meat.

"Sorry, teacher...we're late."

Arriving at the classroom breathless, Erina Nakiri leaned against the door frame, panting heavily, while Hisako Shinoto, who was beside her, was in much better condition, otherwise perfectly normal except for her disordered breathing.

From this perspective, the resistance in front of the body does indeed significantly affect the consumption of physical energy.

"Come in and rest for a bit. There's no need to rush. As long as you cook the dish before get out of class ends and meet my requirements, you can pass the level."

Bai Yuan scrutinized Erina Nakiri at that moment, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

She had changed into a pristine white chef's uniform and tied her hair up, looking incredibly capable. Her aura had also changed slightly since their first meeting.

"Thank you."

Without saying much, she simply bowed her head and thanked them. Then, Erina Nakiri found a nearby unused kitchen counter with only a piece of pork tenderloin on it.

"If you are short of ingredients, you can call someone to deliver them, or you can use the ones mentioned above. Although they are all basic ingredients, they can create very different flavors when paired with shredded pork with garlic sauce."

"I understand, thank you, teacher."

After glancing at Erina Nakiri, who was resting in front of the kitchen counter, Shirabuchi pointed to another box on the podium, which was filled with various vegetables.

Hakubu had high expectations for the dishes that Erina Nakiri would make.

After all, although this person's God Tongue had some problems, it was still a super taste ability, and in a sense, it was the same type as his.

So far, he has only met one girl with super-touch abilities in China, and Erina Nakiri is the second.

The girl with super-touch was not actually a chef, but the daughter of a fish stall owner. She could tell the weight of things without weighing them. He tested her a little and discovered that she had super-touch.

After realizing her culinary talent, the girl chose to join the world of dark cuisine because Bai Yuan inadvertently revealed a seven-star level dragon-shaped armband.

After that, she followed Bai Yuan and, in just one year, went from a complete novice to a second-class chef.

The cooking continued, while Bai Yuan strolled around the classroom.

"This is just plain rotten. Every single one is a different size and length. It'll never taste good no matter how you cook it, cut like this. You'll have to eat it yourself!"

Looking at the shredded meat and vegetables on the student's plate, Bai Yuan couldn't help but frown. This guy was definitely slacking off when practicing the basics!

"And you, you cut the shreds too thickly. Cut them again, or the meat will be overcooked by the time the vegetables are cooked! This is the worst mistake you can make!"

"The problem with your statement lies in the ingredients. Although I don't know where you got the sea cucumber, the shredded pork is soft, and the sea cucumber is also soft. The combination of the two cannot bring out the crispy texture of the fish-flavored shredded pork."

"Your knife skills are still lacking."

"Did you all waste your years of schooling? You can't even do basic jobs!"

The ingredients used are quite varied, and you can hardly find many of them in the same dish. But before choosing ingredients, you should first figure out what you need.

Don't just use high-end ingredients blindly, and don't think that improving a dish is as simple as just replacing two ingredients!

…………

After wandering around, none of them truly satisfied Bai Yuan. The vast majority were mediocre, with 20% failing to master the basics.

However, there are also outstanding individuals, such as Megumi Tadokoro, Yuuki Yoshino, Erina Nakiri, and Hisako Shinto, who are among the best here!

Although the cooking hasn't started yet, you can already tell a thing or two from the knife skills.

To Hakubuchi's surprise, it was Tadokoro Megumi.

According to the original Food Wars storyline, this should be a girl with considerable abilities, but due to a lack of confidence, she always performs poorly and is on the verge of dropping out. However, she performs quite well in his class…

Thinking of this, Bai Yuan couldn't help but turn his gaze to Tadokoro Megumi, only to be surprised to find that she was squatting next to the kitchen counter.

"Phew, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. You can definitely do it on the first try, Tadokoro Megumi, do your best!"

She quickly wrote a few characters for "person" on her hand and swallowed them, muttering these words to herself to ease the tension in her heart.

She can take her time chopping vegetables, but when it comes to stir-frying, she has to get it right the first time. In other words, if she doesn't control the heat properly, the dish will be ruined.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt nervous again. Although she had prepared all the side dishes, she didn't dare to cook them for a long time.

"Relax a bit. I could tell from how you were chopping vegetables that you have a very solid foundation. You're probably in the top five in this class."

As a chef, it would be such a pity if you hesitated because of nervousness and ended up not being able to make a good dish!

So if you keep going like this, I'm going to give you a failing grade. Hurry up and start cooking; even if you do a terrible job, I'll still give you a passing grade!

Seeing Tadokoro Megumi squatting on the ground muttering to herself, Bai Yuan strode forward to her side and slapped her on the back without any hesitation.

"Eh?!"

The tingling sensation on her back startled the girl awake. Upon hearing that she would be punished for failing, Tadokoro Megumi's face showed panic, and she hurriedly tried to stand up.

However, because he had been squatting on the ground for too long, his blood circulation was poor, and his whole body involuntarily tilted backward, about to fall to the ground.

"You little brat, you're pretty good at chopping vegetables, but you're so clumsy when it comes to doing anything else. You get so nervous even when you're cooking. From now on, you'll be sitting in the front row in my classes!"

Feeling the softness in his arms, Bai Yuan wrinkled his nose and then spoke with a hint of reproach.

The girl had a simple, comforting scent that made people feel at ease, like being held by a woman who was like a Yamato Nadeshiko.

"what?"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, the girl exclaimed in surprise, a moment of panic flashing across her face. How could she have suddenly fallen in front of him?

And... was the teacher secretly inhaling her scent just now? Was it subconscious? Or was it her imagination? It was probably her imagination!

With a slightly flushed face, Tadokoro got up from Bai Yuan's embrace and glanced at the man's handsome face out of the corner of her eye. She felt her heart beating a little fast.

Regardless, she had indeed been held tightly in Bai Yuan's arms just now. The close contact between the man and woman made her, a girl who had never even touched a boy's hand, feel hot and restless all over!

"Alright, don't be nervous, just do it. With your abilities, you can do it well. Don't think about anything else, just let your body guide you."

Given Tadokoro Megumi's current situation, the only thing we can do is to gradually build her courage and confidence, and the best way to do that is to spend more time with her in class.

Let her experience the special care from the teacher!

"Okay, I will try my best."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Tadokoro Megumi nodded earnestly, indicating that she would do her best.

"Summon your passion, ignite your fighting spirit, and don't let the cowardice deep in your heart affect the taste of your cooking!"

"it is good!"

"You're full of energy, I believe in you!"

Seeing that Tadokoro Megumi's condition had improved considerably, Bai Yuan immediately raised his hand and patted her back forcefully, while secretly injecting his inner strength into her body.

As these internal energies were injected, Tadokoro Megumi was affected, and her face gradually burned with fighting spirit. Then she devoted herself to cooking.
