Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

However, after Bai Yuan handed her the seafood porridge made with sea cucumber powder, she completely understood why sea cucumber is called the real natural MSG!

So it was used in this dish.

"This umami flavor is not only strong in itself, but also acts like a taste amplifier."

It infinitely enhances and blends the freshness of sea cucumber, the sweetness of millet, and the mellow aroma of beans, creating a rich, three-dimensional, and exhilarating universe of umami!

The male judge on the right closed his eyes, and then countless images of ingredients appeared in his mind, which in the next moment transformed into a vast universe.

All sorts of ingredients gather in this universe, and eventually attract and combine with each other to evolve into this innovative dish: Yellow Millet Seafood Congee.

"This congee dish has a clear layered structure and the flavors are handled just right. Every part is perfect. It's at least a top-tier three-star dish!"

The female judge sitting in the middle opened her eyes as she spoke, her words tinged with emotion, and her gaze towards Erina Nakiri held not only admiration but also complexity.

Adolf and Dick's dishes were already amazing; in previous years, you could only taste dishes of this caliber in the finals.

Even dishes of this caliber still have to yield and submit when faced with the cuisines of Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto.

This is what they mean by "there are always people better than you, and heavens beyond heavens."

I really don't know how these two guys made this dish. If it were made any more refined, it could even reach the level of a luminous dish.

I remember when she was Erina Nakiri's age, she had only just broken through to the Special Grade. Now, after more than twenty years of ups and downs, she has only barely reached the level of a Four-Star Special Chef...

Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinomiya, working together, can already create a three-star special dish; they are only one star away from catching up with her.

Young people these days are terrifying!

"There's no suspense left in this match."

"Indeed, at this point, there is nothing to compare."

"The two are not even in the same league."

As the three judges finished their yellow millet and seafood porridge, and the spoons fell back into their bowls, they looked at each other and saw the answer in each other's eyes.

The outcome of this match was completely predictable; they didn't even need to think about it, they could simply vote for Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto without hesitation.

A one-star crushing defeat was enough to leave Adolf and Dick utterly powerless to resist.

"In this match, the duo of Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto won with a score of 3-0."

As the three judges finished scoring, the score for the match appeared on the large screen high above.

It's still 3-0, this is the third 3-0 match today.

In other words, the Dark Cuisine World once again overwhelmingly defeated Fal Academy and successfully advanced to the finals.

Upon realizing this, the audience was briefly silent before erupting into a thunderous cheer, with everyone's face beaming with excitement.

The reason is simple: they've long been tired of seeing the Eastern Academy win every year.

Now a new academy has emerged as a dark horse. Although we haven't seen it before, no matter what the situation is, this year's competition is more exciting than in previous years!

"I thought Asahi Academy would definitely be the champion this year, but now that the Dark Cuisine World has appeared, their path to the championship doesn't seem so smooth."

In the audience, several young men sat side by side, watching the amazing culinary skills displayed by the Dark Cuisine World and couldn't help but feel impressed.

"You must always remember the truth that there are always people more capable than you and things beyond your understanding."

Although our Oriental Academy is very strong, it is because of the collective efforts of generations. Once a few generations fail to keep up, the Oriental Academy will decline at an alarming rate until it becomes just another ordinary academy.

Constantly dwelling on past pride prevents true growth.

A middle-aged man sat next to the teenagers; he was the teacher leading the group from the Oriental Academy.

Upon hearing the teenagers' reflections, he couldn't help but offer a reminder.

Although this year's Asahi Academy came prepared and took various measures against Touhou Academy, it's normal that they lost.

But they lost after all. As students of the Eastern Academy, they should not and will not make any excuses for their failure; it was simply a matter of insufficient strength.

If they are strong enough, no matter how many tricks Asahi Academy uses, they cannot defeat them; they can simply be crushed by sheer strength.

"We know that for us, the glory of the Eastern Academy is more than just glory."

It's more of a responsibility; while we bask in these honors, we always think about how to defend them.

Upon hearing the coach's reminder, a boy from Dongfang Academy suddenly spoke up, offering his own insights, which were unanimously agreed upon by everyone present.

"You've spoken my mind."

"That's what I think too. As students of the Oriental Academy, we are born with an extra responsibility compared to others: to defend the honor of the Oriental Academy."

"It's a pity that Sister Nuannuan and the others didn't come. Otherwise, how could we have lost to Chaoyang Academy? They only had one more two-star chef than us."

"In other words, when it comes to true high-end combat power, we could easily crush those guys in seclusion at the academy. They are far inferior to us."

"It's just that Sister Nuannuan and the others didn't want to take our trial opportunity, so they gave up their spots. We didn't expect these guys to get away with it."

Several teenagers from the Eastern Academy couldn't help but shout. They had only sent a 1.5-tier team; the real powerhouses wouldn't even bother coming.

If they come over, Asahi Academy will have absolutely no ability to resist.

“Nuan Nuan and the others are all young geniuses from various families. Even if they come here to represent Dongfang Academy and win the competition, it is not a victory for Dongfang Academy.”

The teacher in charge of the group was silent for a moment before suddenly speaking.

There is a crucial reason why the Eastern Academy did not send those geniuses over: they come from various powerful families.

It's not that geniuses from different families are treated differently. Rather, they receive their family education, while the academy serves more as a training ground.

In this way, even if a student participates in a competition and defeats geniuses from other colleges, their achievements will not be recognized.

Even if they ultimately rank first, in the eyes of others, the Eastern Academy is nothing more than an academy that relies on the power of various families and has no real ability.

It was precisely because of repeated prejudice that the Eastern Academy finally hardened its heart and refused to allow these family members to participate in the academy exchange competition.

However, when this story spread to the outside world, somehow it became the rumor that the strongest member of the Eastern Academy disdained to make a move and sent the second-tier members to fight instead, yet they still managed to win first place repeatedly.

As such news spread throughout the country, Dongfang Academy was gradually mythologized and became the school that others always talked about.

"Let's go back. Tomorrow is the final. I wonder if the Dark Cuisine World will win, or if Asahi Academy will prevail."

It's really interesting, though. Asahi Academy planned for so long, finally beat us once, and then another powerful enemy suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Indeed, I don't know where this Dark Cuisine World came from, or how it has so many powerful people. I heard that these people were originally students of Totsuki Academy, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"That's fake! Totsuki Academy is just a bottom-tier school, usually not even making the top ten. How could they possibly beat those guys from Far Academy so easily?"

In the Eastern Academy, a younger youth complained, his gaze towards Erina Nakiri and the others filled with curiosity.

Immediately, someone presented data to refute this. Furthermore, if these people were truly students of Totsuki Culinary Academy, why didn't they represent Totsuki Culinary Academy and the Dark Cuisine World in the competition?!

"Totsuki Academy can't cultivate so many top-notch experts. I've heard that the leader of the Dark Cuisine World is a great talent, and these genius chefs were all personally trained by him."

The teacher in charge clearly knew some secrets, and at this moment, he stared intently at Bai Yuan.

Although the other person was just sitting quietly in the waiting area, he felt an indescribable sense of oppression, like a mouse seeing a cat.

This feeling is strange. Even though we're so far apart, it gives him this kind of feeling. Just how strong is this guy?!

Although he hadn't learned the specifics, he understood that the guy in front of him was the leader of the dark cuisine world, a super genius from China.

"The leader of the dark cuisine world? I've never heard of him before... I wonder what kind of being he is, that he can cultivate so many genius chefs."

"Only geniuses can understand geniuses. When his identity is revealed in the future, you will naturally know. His talent is beyond your imagination."

Thinking back to the day when the Dean of Oriental Academy learned that the Dark Cuisine World was participating in the Academy Exchange Competition, he immediately called on all the teachers to attend a meeting.

The only topic of the meeting was to gather information about the Dark Cuisine world, as they would become the biggest obstacle to winning the championship.

At the time, he was dismissive, thinking that the old dean hadn't been out for too long and was making a fuss over nothing. He wondered how a fledgling organization could have time to cultivate its own geniuses.

But little did he know that he was terribly wrong.

The old dean's foresight was truly remarkable; he was a man of great wisdom.

It's no wonder that the other party could become the dean, while he was just a teacher. The difference between them was huge, not to mention other things.

"Teacher, you said he has amazing talent? What is his current skill level, and how old is he?"

Hearing what the teacher in charge said, the young boys and girls were somewhat unconvinced, after all, they were also considered geniuses by others, so one of them couldn't help but speak up.

"It cannot be spoken of; this is a death order. You will naturally find out in the future."

"Can the riddle-solver just get out of the Oriental Academy?!"

"What's so shameful about this? It's impossible that the other party is a genius in their twenties who can create luminescent materials!"

A student spoke in a half-joking manner, and to everyone's surprise, the answer was guessed, causing the teacher in charge to twitch slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"I don't know, since I've never actually met him."

Remembering the dean's promise to keep it a secret, the teacher in charge didn't say much. He just secretly prayed that these little devils wouldn't discover his identity and spread it around. If they did, he would definitely be taken in for a talk, and he might lose his bonus this year.

"Alright, there are no matches this afternoon, so you're free to explore the island. The scenery here is quite nice."

After watching Bai Yuan and the others leave the rest area after a while, the teacher in charge clapped his hands lightly and called out to the students sitting next to him.

"Oh."

"It doesn't feel like there's anything fun about it."

"The food on the island is very expensive, and the taste isn't very good either."

"I remember there's a pretty good restaurant next door, how about we go try it later?"

"Together!"

As the match ended, the members of Fal Academy licked their wounds in solitude, while the other spectators gradually left to do their own things.

the other side.

Bai Yuan vaguely sensed that someone was watching him, so he glanced towards the audience seats but found nothing. He then shook his head and ignored it.

He didn't care who was watching him; the flame flickered in the darkness, and whatever he did, he was always the center of attention.

"What's wrong, Brother Bai Yuan?"

Beside her, Alice Nakiri glanced at Bai Yuan curiously and asked.

"It's nothing. Tomorrow is the final. But don't be too nervous. You can go around and relax today. It's good for your cooking."

Upon hearing the question, Bai Yuan simply waved his hand casually, telling them to relax a little, as tension was not conducive to the cooking.

"Although I really wanted to relax, the thought of the finals tomorrow completely killed my desire to have fun, and my body was too tense to enjoy myself."
