After three years of dormancy, the Gourmet Tyrant was born.

"I can already picture their wicked smiles!"

"Professor Shiomi, didn't you ever consider... what if I didn't agree?"

Without hesitation, Shiomi Jun immediately replied:

"Of course I've thought about it! If Lord Xuanyu doesn't agree, I'll come again tomorrow."

Lu Xuanyu: "..."

Touch porcelain?

So you've become clingy, haven't you?

Without a doubt, this idea must have come from the celebrity mentors.

Since the delicate and gentle professor had offered to escort me to the dormitory.

Spending some time occasionally exchanging ideas is acceptable, even if it's a bit of a stretch.

"Professor Shiomi, let me make this clear beforehand: I can be very busy sometimes, and I might not be able to spend an hour or two every day..."

"Understood! I'll go back to my place to pack my things. See you tomorrow morning, Lord Xuanyu!"

Before Lu Xuanyu could finish speaking, Xi Jianrun rushed out in a flurry.

What a carefree woman!

……

A few days later.

Office of the Ten Outstanding Individuals Committee.

It's rare to see all ten members of the Heroes of the Year gathered together.

Unless there are major events at the school, there is no need for all ten outstanding students to come forward for a meeting.

The matter requiring collective discussion is indeed a major event for the school.

Regarding the selection of the next generation of "jade"!

This is the upcoming school event hosted by the Top Ten... the Autumn Selection Competition!

After returning from the short holiday.

Lu Xuanyu has been exceptionally busy these days.

[First, we visited the Dessert and Culinary Research Association and reached a friendly cooperation agreement!]

"Little Xuanyu, don't leave any traces, they're hard to remove."

"We absolutely cannot leave any trace over there..."

"Do I really have to wear the teddy bear costume? It's so hot!"

Lu Xuanyu: "Sister Peach, what I want is the teddy bear!"

Secondly, I visited the Local Cuisine Research Association and had an academic exchange!

"Xuan Yu Jun, please hurry up, we're just here to get ingredients..."

"I've been out for too long, won't the senior students think too much? Hmm..."

Lu Xuanyu: "That depends on whether Xiao Hui can put in the effort up there, hehe!"

Then, I went to the Molecular Gastronomy Institute to learn about the latest technologies using cutting-edge equipment!

"Lord Xuan Yu, haven't I been very obedient? I specially chose the new style you mentioned to wear underneath!"

"The institute's staff will not arrive for another two hours today."

"Hehe, I'll do whatever you say for the next two hours!"

Lu Xuanyu: "You're still the most obedient!"

Finally, he inspected the on-campus hot spring bathhouse he runs to see how profitable it is after opening!

"Master, it sounds like... it sounds like a couple next door, their voices are coming over."

"Hmm...should we be a little quieter...?"

"I shouldn't... have shouted it out..."

Lu Xuanyu: "Hishako, follow your heart. It's just the two of us here!"

……

Having acquired the power of the wild, there is absolutely no need to worry about physical or mental exhaustion.

These past few days have been filled with remarkable achievements.

It unlocked many new scenarios and new knowledge.

Besides enjoying themselves, as members of the Ten Outstanding Members Council, they also need to do some serious work from time to time.

The preliminary list for the Autumn Selection Competition is nominated based on a comprehensive score of daily performance and performance during the training camp.

First, select one hundred people and submit their names to the Top Ten Management Committee.

Then there are ten more members of the council, based on comprehensive consideration and predictions of potential value.

Forty people were selected from one hundred, along with an additional twenty to discuss and vote together.

A total of sixty people participated in the final selection competition, competing against each other.

Since it is for the selection of the next generation of "jade", it also means that...

Those who stand out in the selection competition will be candidates for the next generation of the Top Ten!

Many of you here today earned your spots by competing in the preliminary rounds.

.......

99. Tsukasa Eishi's challenge for the first place: Autumn Selection Tournament roster! [Please subscribe!]

At the head of the meeting room sat a handsome, refined-looking man with white hair.

His gaze was sharp, but his expression was calm.

It's as if they don't care about any changes happening around them.

Si Yingshi!

The first seat of the Elite Ten!

At present, apart from Lu Xuanyu, he is the absolute ceiling of culinary skills among the students of Totsuki Academy.

It possesses immense power and the ability to "communicate with ingredients"... The Language of Food!

With a philosophy of "dedicating oneself with pride" to cooking, he is praised by food critics as the white knight on the dining table!

He's definitely a top-notch expert when it comes to cooking, but as for everyday tasks...

"Regarding the selection of forty people, the list is basically fine."

"As for the remaining twenty people, I'll leave it to you all..."

Tsukasa Eishi suddenly looked flustered and said awkwardly:

"Well, just selecting forty people is already this troublesome."

"We still need to select twenty more people. My mind is completely blank!"

"So...so..."

"I hope everyone can lend a hand; I've really done my best!"

Tsukasa Eishi's words were punctuated by dozens of trembling sounds.

It wasn't an act at all; he was genuinely bad at handling matters related to the Elite Ten.

"Tch, Senior Si's old habits really haven't changed at all."

"Regarding the nomination, I personally have no opinion, and I don't want to participate in the discussion."

"I'm also someone who hates trouble, so I'll leave it to you all to do."

Hisago Terunori raised his hand, taking the lead in expressing his opinion.

"Oh dear, they're all just afraid of trouble."

"It's like this in the third grade, and now even the second-year students are like this."

"We won't leave all the troublesome things to our lovely juniors, will we?"

Kobayashi Rindou, always eager for drama, fixed his gaze on Lu Xuanyu and Nakiri Erina in the back row.

The two exchanged a glance, both showing surprise.

Are all the monsters in the Council of Ten Elites this lazy?

Many decision-makers don't even show up.

Now that you've shown your face, do you still want to be a hands-off manager?

"Of course not!"
