Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

They came here for a vacation, but because they've been staying home and cooking for years, they couldn't think of anything to do at the beach.

"The thing you absolutely have to do when you come to the sandpit is, of course, that."

"Which one? Teacher Bai Yuan, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what to do next."

Seeing Bai Yuan suddenly cross his arms and reveal a mysterious expression, Yoshino Yuuki asked anxiously, her eyes almost overflowing with curiosity.

Beach volleyball.

As someone who had lived with Shirabuchi for many years, Alice Nakiri had long anticipated Shirabuchi's thoughts, and as she spoke, she took the volleyball out of the trunk of the car.

Entering through the doorway, he shows off the volleyball in his hand as he walks forward.

"Volleyball? But I'm not very good at it."

Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's words, Ryoko Sakaki wore a complicated expression. She realized today that besides cooking, she seemed to know nothing else...

"Ryoko, don't you know how to play volleyball?"

Before Shirabuchi could say anything after hearing Ryoko Sakaki's words, Yoshino Yuuki, who was standing next to her, spoke up first, her face full of surprise.

"Isn't it normal not to know how to play volleyball...?"

Faced with this sudden questioning, Ryoko Sakaki's face turned visibly red. The next moment, she couldn't help but retort, "Not knowing how to play volleyball shouldn't be something to be ashamed of!"

"Oh right, I remember you skipped most of your PE classes in middle school, since we had a volleyball coach back then..."

Upon hearing Ryoko Sakaki's words, Yuuki Yoshino was lost in memories, then remembered that the other girl had never attended a single PE class, and her family had applied for an exemption for her.

It is said that Ryoko Sakaki only needs to cook well, and she doesn't need to care about anything else. It's okay if she doesn't attend some useless classes.

Ryoko Sakaki, cultivated in this way, excels in cooking, but this makes her somewhat lacking in other areas.

"Don't be discouraged. I'll teach you if you don't know how. Volleyball is actually very simple, and beach volleyball isn't that difficult either. You'll see after you practice."

Yoshino Yuuki's voice was filled with confidence.

Her cooking skills are average, but she has excellent athletic ability.

These little Karamis in front of her might be better at cooking, but she's very confident in sports. Aside from Teacher Baiyuan, no one could beat her!

"We have nine people here. Teacher Bai Yuan is strong enough to form his own team against two others. The remaining eight of you can form your own teams. What do you think?"

Thinking of Bai Yuan's terrifying strength, Yoshino Yuuki raised an eyebrow, then looked around at the others, waiting for their answers.

"That makes sense. Bai Yuan is too strong. If we don't restrain him properly, this beach volleyball match will be a foregone conclusion."

To everyone's surprise, Alice Nakiri was the first to agree, her eyes brimming with excitement, clearly indicating she had other ideas about this beach volleyball game.

"I agree, Shirayuki-sensei is too abnormal, whether it's cooking or his athletic ability. I even feel that the two of us together couldn't beat him."

Erina Nakiri nodded frantically, her eyes filled with longing and envy as she looked at Shiro Awaken; she also wanted to have such a powerful body.

In that case, her cooking would definitely see the biggest improvement in history.

As for why a strong physique is associated with improved cooking skills, it's mainly because higher physical fitness also leads to improved reaction speed.

In addition to relevant experience, cooking also requires quick reflexes from the chef.

Under the same skill level, the faster a chef reacts, the higher the quality of the dish they can produce, which stems from the precision of the food preparation.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's a bit targeted, but I'm willing to accept your challenge."

Hearing what Yoshino Yuuki and the others said, Bai Yuan couldn't help but complain, but he didn't care and spoke with a fighting spirit.

In fact, with his current strength, even if all these guys attacked him together, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him, but that would be too boring.

Therefore, he decided that even if he had to pretend, he would make it seem like they were evenly matched, at least not to end the match at the beginning, so that they would have some experience.

Of course, you can't let too much water out, or it will be bad if it gets noticed.

They'll definitely think he doesn't respect them, and if he doesn't leave the door open for them at night, they'll really have nowhere to turn.

"Then it's a happy decision. Ryoko doesn't play volleyball, so I'll team up with her this time."

Yoshino Yuuki gave Tadokoro Megumi an apologetic look. She really needed to increase Sakaki Ryoko's favorability so that the other party would tell her the secret from that morning, so she naturally teamed up with her.

"Hisako and I, that's beyond question."

Erina Nakiri did not hesitate at all. She and Hisako Shinoto were inseparable, so they would naturally be on the same team in this kind of competition.

Hisako Shinto had anticipated this and stood behind Erina Nakiri in advance, posing as a supportive wife.

"Let's go together."

Mito Ikumi looked at Hojo Miyoko next to her. Because they had sunbathed together that morning, the two had chatted a lot and their relationship had become much closer.

"I have no problem."

"That's what Hojo Miyoko said coldly."

However, she was still happy to be chosen, so much so that a slight smile appeared on her lips where no one else could see.

"It seems we're both leftovers. Xiaohui, nice to meet you."

As they were talking, Alice Nakiri reached out her hand to Megumi Tadokoro, and the girl in the light blue swimsuit immediately shook it excitedly.

"Please give me more advice."

Megumi Tadokoro's voice was soft, but equally firm.

Since it's a competition related to Teacher Bai Yuan, she has to do her best.

Apart from Teacher Bai Yuan, she believes she will not lose to anyone, no matter how strong they are, she will strive to stand until the end!

Have you all formed your teams?

As the girls found their teammates one after another, Bai Yuan asked them one last time to confirm, and they all gave him a positive answer.

"In that case, I'll give you an hour to practice together. After an hour, we'll start the competition. We'll use a two-by-two draw system, where the loser will compete against the loser, and the winner will continue."

I won't be participating in the first few rounds, which means your opponent in the final is me.

Thinking that no one could resist him when he took action, and that it wouldn't be a good gaming experience for them, Bai Yuan volunteered to become the final boss and prepared to watch the ball game from the stands.

"Since it's a competition, there must be prizes. Since you're the initiator, Mr. Bai Yuan, you should decide on a prize."

As she spoke, Erina Nakiri looked at Bai Yuan, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Since it's a competition, there must be prizes. A competition without prizes really doesn't inspire anyone to be interested in winning.

"The prize...you've stumped me with that question."

After being reminded by Erina Nakiri, Hakugen realized what was happening and lowered his head to think seriously.

The others remained silent upon witnessing this scene, simply watching him contemplate in quiet contemplation.

At the same time, a sense of anticipation rose in my heart.

What kind of prize is it?

If the prizes aren't very good, their fighting spirit in the competition might drop considerably.

"I've got it. If you win, I'll create a personalized ultimate dish for each of you. You can analyze this dish or use it directly in actual combat."

After thinking with his eyes closed for a long time, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Bai Yuan's mind. He then opened his eyes, looked at the girls in front of him, and spoke.

Nowadays, the only thing that can win them over is probably food.

"An exclusive, killer dish!"

As soon as Bai Yuan finished speaking, gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd, and even Erina Nakiri showed an expectant look on her face.

This is a dish specially made by a top-tier seven-star chef; it's something that would be priceless elsewhere.

Now, as long as they win at beach volleyball, Bai Yuan will prepare a special "killer dish" tailored just for them, like a nanny!?

There are actually such good things in the world!

Erina Nakiri and the others were somewhat incredulous, feeling as if they had been hit by a pie.

However, when they thought that Bai Yuan was not only their man but also their master, everything made sense.

All that's left is to win this game!

Chapter 362 The Benefits of Ancient Martial Arts

"I feel a bit excited."

After listening to Bai Yuan's account, Yoshino Yuuki trembled slightly with excitement, her eyes brimming with surging fighting spirit.

If she could obtain a signature dish specially made for her from Bai Yuan, she would definitely be able to learn a lot of new things and thus get ahead of others.

On the one hand, the cuisine suited her perfectly.

On the other hand, through this perfectly matched dish, she can dissect and study it, thus achieving rapid progress.

"Me too, I'm so excited!"

I won't hold back later, so be prepared for a fight to the death.

Mito Ikumi pressed down her hand, which was trembling slightly with excitement, her face equally determined. Hojo Miyoko, who was beside her, did not speak, but her eyes looked at her with a more serious expression.

The two shared the same idea as Yoshino Yuuki: if they could win this competition and obtain the tailor-made killer dish, it would be a great help to them!

Therefore, we must win this game!

"Xiao Hui and I will win this match. You should all prepare to lose!"

Just as Mito Ikumi, Yoshino Yuuki, and the others were very excited, Nakiri Alice's voice rang out. The group looked in the direction of the voice and found that she was warming up.

"Although volleyball is not a sport where physical strength alone guarantees victory, strong physical abilities are certainly a significant advantage in the sport."

In addition to physical flexibility and reaction speed, these are also crucial in volleyball; they are essential for winning matches.

Noticing their gazes, Alice Nakiri demonstrated an incredibly difficult split, then used her hands to support herself on the floor and did a somersault to jump up from the ground.

As her body spun in the air, she landed steadily on the beach, her eyes calm yet radiating unparalleled confidence.

"Are you putting on a circus act? You won't win the competition with that."

Watching Alice Nakiri's lively performance that immediately stunned the other contestants, Erina Nakiri, who had been watching everything from the sidelines, sneered. She wasn't going to let her win the match so easily.

"If I say we'll win, then we'll win!"

Alice Nakiri's voice was firm. If even she lacked confidence in herself, then this match was truly hopeless.

"My teamwork with Hisako is unbeatable!"
