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

"Wash it clean and return it to me tomorrow."

Looking at Erina Nakiri's flushed face, Bai Yuan thought to himself that she was cute, then turned his head and looked at the others.

Everyone else present was puzzled, not understanding Bai Yuan's sudden action, let alone Nakiri Erina's unexpected shyness.

Only Kobayashi Rindou had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Alright, continue enjoying your meal."

Seeing that Erina Nakiri had changed into his coat, Shirayu reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder to prevent the power of his cooking from being too strong and causing her to have the urge to rip her clothes off again.

Thinking of the clothes being torn off, Bai Yuan thought of that deep white color, which was like a black hole in the universe, capable of sucking in everything in the world!

"Ah."

Feeling the lingering warmth of her coat, Erina Nakiri's face remained flushed, and she inexplicably felt as if she were being held tightly in her arms.

Although she knew her thoughts were shameless and brazen, Bai Yuan was right beside her, and she was even wearing his clothes…

Once the thought came to mind, it was impossible to put it out of her head. Out of the corner of her eye, Erina Nakiri glanced at Bai Yuan, and her heart couldn't help but race.

He shook his head frantically, trying to banish all the slightly suggestive thoughts, then looked at the white Mapo Tofu in front of him and swallowed hard.

Without hesitation, Erina Nakiri scooped up a spoonful and swallowed it. A myriad of flavors spread in her mouth, bringing a faint look of enjoyment to her face.

The chili peppers warmed me up from head to toe.

The power to tear off her clothes became ineffective under the balance of Bai Yuan's internal energy, allowing her to enjoy the food in front of her without any worries.

No wonder!

With each bite of white Mapo Tofu, the previous bite seemed to trigger some kind of chemical reaction, directly affecting the deepest parts of the body…

Chapter 96 Dark Training, Hisako Shinto's Lament

"uh-huh…"

The sudden weakness in my legs, and the waves of impact deep within my body.

As if she had expected this, Erina Nakiri reached out and steadied herself on the table, her breathing noticeably heavier than before.

When she was about to scoop out her third spoonful, the plate in front of her had been completely emptied, and not even the sauce on top was left!

To be precise, the plate in front of her was already empty as soon as she finished scooping the second spoonful. She ate the most of Kobayashi Rindou, finishing a third of it.

At this moment, the girl's cheeks were exceptionally rosy, because the unique numbing and spicy flavor of Mapo Tofu made her body feel hot and her breathing heavy.

"Goo-hoo?"

I closed my eyes to try and calm myself, but in an instant I was plunged into a hallucination.

Influenced by the flavor of Mapo Tofu, she felt as if she had stepped into a hot pot made of special white chili oil!

Countless white chili oils crawled up her body, relentlessly attacking her interior. The capsaicin brought a faint tingling sensation, making her groan involuntarily.

This feeling! It's truly a pure mix of pain and pleasure!

The others felt much the same way; the numbing, spicy, and scalding hot Mapo Tofu had put them into a trance. When they came to their senses, the rich, white chili oil had already seeped into every part of their bodies.

Although nothing has changed in their external world, the scenes in their hallucinations and the tangible sensations in their bodies remain vivid in their memories.

"This feeling is just... ah!"

On the other side, due to the influence of God's Tongue, Erina Nakiri straightened her thighs, tilted her hips slightly forward, and arched her whole body.

The group looked over and saw that her five fingers were gripping the table tightly. The strong impact made her eyes roll back and she almost fainted.

The lingering charm.

It completely exploded a minute after I ate the white Mapo Tofu!

Although the other people's tongues were not as sensitive as God's Tongue, they still grabbed the table next to them and gasped for breath.

"What terrible food! This is the first time I've ever felt this way after tasting a dish! It's an incredible feeling!"

Looking at the empty plate in front of him, without even a trace of soup left, Kobayashi Rindou's eyes were wary, as if he were looking at some kind of taboo.

Although Tadokoro Megumi and Yoshino Yuuki didn't say anything, their flushed cheeks said it all; they felt both expectant and shy.

I long to be covered in chili oil again, to feel the waves of stimulation it brings, yet I feel shy about the intensity of the stimulation, as if Bai Yuan is controlling everything invisibly.

"thump."

"Please accept me as your disciple, Master Bai Yuan!"

At the same time, a "thump" rang in everyone's ears, bringing them back to their senses and causing them to turn their gazes in that direction.

Then they discovered that the person kneeling down was none other than Kuga Terunori, who had initially questioned Bai Yuan's strength!

At this moment, Kuga Terunori was looking at Bai Yuan with great enthusiasm. Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to him, Bai Yuan also looked over and immediately began to kowtow.

He didn't have anything to say; he just wanted to express his sincerity.

"Bang bang bang."

The sound of someone banging their head on the ground was particularly clear in the quiet classroom. Bai Yuan looked at everything in front of him, but his expression did not change much.

It was as if they already knew all along.

Indeed, this was the case. After becoming the leader of the dark underworld, countless people came to challenge him, and some even knelt down and became his disciples after failing.

After all, finding a good chef in the culinary world is incredibly difficult!

For this reason, some beautiful women even offered themselves to him, but in Bai Yuan's eyes at the time, they were nothing more than skeletons who coveted his fame.

Although he planned to build a harem, he wasn't truly accepting all women. Otherwise, if someone found out his weakness, he would be doomed!

For him, a physical relationship devoid of emotion is less fulfilling than cooking a couple more dishes; at least that would make him feel satisfied and fulfilled.

However, Bai Yuan can handle this calmly.

Others are not so good at it.

The sudden change startled everyone else present, especially Kobayashi Rindou, who covered his mouth with his hand, his face full of surprise.

That guy, Kuga Terunori, who used to be so proud, has now lowered his head and is kowtowing to someone who is only a few years older than him?!

Was it because the gap in strength was too great that you put aside the idea of ​​surpassing him and instead became his disciple?

The others remained silent, but their faces were filled with shock. They were caught in an awkward situation, unsure whether to stay or leave.

At that moment, they were all internally complaining.

How could anyone become a disciple in front of so many people?! Do you think this is like asking for a red envelope during Chinese New Year?! They even kowtowed so forcefully.

"No."

Looking at the man in front of him who kept kowtowing and then stared at him intently, Bai Yuan chose to refuse without hesitation.

"why?"

Seeing Bai Yuan's decisive refusal, Kuga Terunori's body stiffened, and he raised his head to ask in disbelief.

This guy was just expressing his admiration for him, even patting him on the shoulder to encourage him, how come he's suddenly become so indifferent?!

"It's just that I don't want to; there's no special reason."

Once you take on a disciple, you have to take responsibility. If it weren't for Alice Nakiri helping him back then, Bai Yuan wouldn't have been able to take her on as a disciple, and the same goes for others.

Although he admired Kuga Terunori's courage, admiration was one thing, but actually taking him on as a disciple felt a bit troublesome.

Moreover, courage without ability is not respectable in his eyes; it was only because he was reminiscing about his past self that he praised him a couple of times.

Did this guy misunderstand something?

He fought a duel with a master of the dark cuisine world, and the price he paid for his defeat was his hands and feet!

The more serious ones involved branding someone on the chest with a mark indicating that the food was unpalatable, disqualifying them from being a chef, or even throwing them into the Yangtze River to feed the fish if they lost. Such bets have been made before!

Fortunately, he won in the end.

They won every battle.

With his astonishing record, he passed the Dark Cuisine World's Chef Lin's assessment and earned the title of Hundred-Victory General, Bai Yuan.

It implies that he is invincible and unbeatable!

At the same time, he also gained the respect of all the strong in the dark cuisine world, because that was originally a place that admired strength.

Everyone started to feel honored to be challenged by him, and they would do their best to prepare each time. No one mentioned the punishment for the loser anymore.

That was also the year when Bai Yuan's strength improved rapidly!

"I simply don't want to..."

Seeing Bai Yuan's increasingly vacant gaze, seemingly disregarding him, Kuga Terunori muttered to himself, unsure of what to say for a moment.

The reason was so straightforward that he couldn't find any angle to persuade him, and even had many things he wanted to say stuck in his throat.

"Is there really not even the slightest possibility?"

Hisagi Terunori raised his head and asked with a hint of resentment.

He had struggled with this decision for a long time before finally making up his mind, and then he was rejected so ruthlessly!

"No."

Bai Yuan shook his head, his expression remaining completely unchanged.

This guy came to cause trouble because he didn't believe in his cooking skills and wanted him to get out of Totsuki.

Now that he's lost, he wants to become his apprentice and learn all his skills. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

If he hadn't spent a pleasant night with Alice Nakiri last night, leaving him with pent-up excitement, he wouldn't have agreed to this battle.

He is willing to accept challenges from anyone, but if someone is really too weak, he would normally have to think twice and would usually disagree.

Just like Kurokiba Ryo back then.

It's a pity that Alice Nakiri wasn't with us, otherwise it would have been the most suitable person to take action, and she could have gained some combat experience.

A white figure appeared in Bai Yuan's mind; that girl was going to have a match with Kurokiba Ryo.

However, I never expected that Kurokiba Ryo could come to Totsuki Academy without Alice's help. Did he apply on his own or was he invited?

Bai Yuan couldn't help but think about it.

Has the gears of fate begun to turn?
