Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Once the level of deliciousness exceeds the standard, it brings indescribable pleasure; even just one bite is an explosive experience!

"However, this flavor is truly irresistible..."

"Truly worthy of being called a master chef! No matter the dish, he can elevate it to the highest level! Not only are his culinary skills superb, but his progress is also incredibly rapid!"

As she savored the dish before her, Alice Nakiri exclaimed from the bottom of her heart.

I remember when the two first met, Bai Yuan was a very skilled chef, but he still had to be a little more serious to make the Flowing Light Cuisine.

Unlike now, his minimum skill level is Flowing Light Cuisine, and his effortless demeanor makes it clear that this is far from his limit!

"This is so delicious, it's a taste that can never be surpassed in a lifetime! Impossible..."

A surge of power seemed to well up within her, and this thought suddenly popped into Alice Nakiri's mind—unexpected and exceptionally strong!

"Calm your mind."

Simply being able to continuously surpass oneself is already a remarkable achievement.

Bai Yuan raised his hand and patted Alice Nakiri's shoulder, suppressing the surging power within her, his voice exploding in the girl's ears.

Although she spoke very softly, Alice Nakiri inadvertently revealed her innermost thoughts, which were also overheard by Bai Yuan.

"Oh? Sorry, I..."

"There's no need to apologize. It's normal to have this kind of thought. Many chefs who have reached the top level have also had this kind of thought."

Seeing Alice Nakiri's hasty apology, Bai Yuan waved his hand and then looked at Mito Ikumi not far away.

This guy had never appeared in his class before, so this should be considered their first meeting, and also her first time tasting the Flowing Light Cuisine.

"Ah! Amazing! The fresh sensation is overwhelming! It feels like being in the deep sea, being kissed by tiny fish made of sauce!"

She let out a shameful scream, hugged herself tightly, her face flushed red, and squatted down, panting heavily, unable to bear the shock.

Such deliciousness, and it was all prepared in an instant?!

With such superb skills, it's no wonder that Lady Erina admires him so much and has been attending his classes for a whole month!

"Hisako, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll take the three of them over there to rest for a while."

"Well, leave it to me."

Hisako Shirato nodded, took the plate of sashimi from Shirabuchi's hand, and looked at the group behind Alice Nakiri.

"Let's rest under that tree for a while."

Seeing Erina Nakiri gasping for breath and barely able to stand, Shirabuchi released her grip and then spoke to Ikumi Mito, who was squatting beside him.

As for Alice Nakiri, he reached out and grabbed her, intending to offer her some words of comfort.

The team advanced in an orderly manner.

However, there was so little meat on the fish that even when it was sliced ​​thinly, each person only got one slice, and the plate was still emptied when the queue was halfway through.

Those students who didn't get to eat the raw marinated fish slices mustered their courage and approached Bai Yuan, their bodies trembling slightly as they said:

"Teacher, we've finished the sashimi, but there are still over a dozen people here who haven't had a chance to try it. We're very confident in our cooking, so we can come back..."

"No."

Bai Yuan interrupted her without any politeness.

"If you didn't manage to grab it, it's because you're not good enough. Just like this midterm exam, if you don't rank in the top 50, you'll be expelled. There's no room for negotiation!"

"By the way, although the cooking time continues until sunset, the later the dish is completed, the lower the score will be given in terms of time."

Of course, if you can truly deliver a delicious dish that touches people's hearts, I will give you bonus points.

Looking at the girl in front of him, trembling with extreme nervousness, Bai Yuan coldly told her that it was impossible to have another serving.

Everything in the world requires effort. If you could get it just by keeping quiet, it would be far too easy and cheap.

"Yes, I understand!"

The girls, who had come at the urging of the crowd, were already scared. Upon hearing Bai Yuan's extremely blunt words, they immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"Alright, stop standing there and get started cooking!"

By the way, the students ranked in the bottom 100 on the leaderboard will have to sleep in the wilderness at night! The higher the ranking, the better the accommodations!

Seeing the students standing there with disappointed expressions, not moving at all, Bai Yuan dropped another bombshell.

Those who fail not only have to drop out of school, but also have to sleep in the wilderness and feed mosquitoes during the training camp!

Of course, those who can't stand it can apply to withdraw from school, but once you've come this far, no one is willing to withdraw!

"What!?"

"I've never heard of such a thing before!"

"Damn it! Which bastard stole the shrimp I just picked?!"

"Ugh, why is this fish so hard to catch? Just bite the hook already!"

"Who stole my seasoning? You bastard! Give it back right now, or I'll rip your pants off!"

As Bai Yuan finished speaking, the scene, which had quieted down, became noisy again, and everyone started working busily.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Nakiri Erina, who had recovered, and Nakiri Alice, who had regained her confidence after hearing his words.

Mito Ikumi stood beside the two, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Shiroyuki.

Humans always admire the strong!

"They've already started getting busy, what are you planning to do?"

"Does this need to be said?"

"Of course, we'll surpass them!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's question, Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri exchanged a glance, and then each spoke a sentence to Bai Yuan.

"Good, very spirited. Then prove your strength to me!"

"Hisako, let's go."

"Yes, Lady Erina."

As Erina Nakiri spoke, she looked at Hisako Shinoto, who was waiting to the side.

Hisako Shinoto responded excitedly upon hearing her call.

"I will cook a meal that will satisfy you, even if it costs me everything!"

Alice Nakiri, head held high, replied that after Bai Yuan's encouragement, she had returned to her original state, and her fighting spirit was even higher. Without waiting for Bai Yuan's reply, she turned and left.

"You should also do your best. After all, you were the first one to step forward. Let me see your cooking, Mito Ikumi."

Watching Alice leave, Bai Yuan turned to the girl with tanned skin in front of him and suddenly spoke.

"You...know my name?!"

Mito Ikumi could hardly believe that a chef as skilled as Shirabuchi knew her name.

"I not only know your name, but I also know that you are good at cooking beef dishes."

Mito Ikumi.

You have great potential, keep it up!

Bai Yuan was never stingy with verbal encouragement; as he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Mito Ikumi on the shoulder to express his praise.

"Yes! I will do my best! Teacher Baiyuan!"

With just three simple sentences, Mito Ikumi became incredibly energetic, as if she had been injected with adrenaline!

Damn it, Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri, step aside, I'm the MVP this time!

Chapter 106 In Full Swing! Raw Shrimp with Crab Sauce

"Boys, my assessment is very strict. If you don't reach the passing grade, you get zero points. Get ready!"

In a certain mountain forest, a man, shirtless and wearing only an animal skin skirt around his waist, spoke these words. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, as if he could see through everyone's thoughts and strength.

"I like dishes that are both cute and creative, so try to make your creations in that direction as much as possible."

The leader specifically instructed me to be gentle with the punishment for the losers. So, I've decided that you won't get any sleep all night; you'll have to spend the whole night in the kitchen refining that failed dish.

However, I must warn you in advance that if your cooking is too terrible and utterly inedible, I might lose my temper, and in that case, this whip won't let you off easily.

Beside the crystal-clear lake stood a woman in a black cloak, her smile not reaching her eyes as she spoke to the student before her.

She was dressed like a chivalrous thief, but in reality, she wore very little underneath. Her graceful figure was partially revealed, as if she was about to be fully exposed, but was always concealed by her clothes at the crucial moment.

At that moment, she was speaking while gently cracking the leather whip in her hand. The whip drew a beautiful arc in the air and made a whistling sound.

This is a spoken threat.

"Just do your best, and I will give you a fair evaluation."

A blonde, blue-eyed girl with an extremely cute appearance was the proctor for this exam. A blue dragon was embroidered on the cuff of her left sleeve. Although it was just an inanimate object, it exuded a chilling and domineering aura, making people afraid to look at her.

"Don't worry, we'll do our best!"

"Miss, you're so cute! Can I add you on LINE? I can ask you questions if I have any problems with cooking."

"By the way, teacher, do you have a boyfriend? If you don't mind, I'd like to..."

Her presence caused the boys in the audience to cheer. Foreigners develop earlier, but their cheeks are still very youthful.

Therefore, the proctor at this time is, to these teenagers, an angelic face and a devilish figure!

"I don't have a boyfriend yet, but I already have someone I like."

I'm glad you liked it, but please don't say things like that again, or I might not be able to resist giving you a zero.

The blonde, blue-eyed girl smiled and said, but she rejected everyone without any politeness, because her heart already belonged to someone else and there was no room for anyone else.

As soon as she finished speaking, the commotion in the room immediately subsided, and all was quiet.

This woman doesn't seem like a good person. She was so gentle just a moment ago, but the next moment she'll give them zero points.

What kind of man could possibly cause such a drastic change in her?!

"This teacher seems pretty good."

Let's cheer each other on, Megumi and Ryoko.
