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

"If you continue to treat Miyoko with the same hostility as before, I will, as the store manager, fire you all without regard to the consequences!"

Hojo Kazuya used both soft and hard tactics to fulfill his duties as a restaurant manager.

Based on her performance today, my daughter Miyoko has fully demonstrated her abilities.

There is no need to accept any further questioning.

The father's determination to support his daughter was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Hojo Miyoko looked at her father in surprise, never expecting to hear such words from him.

"Understood, store manager. We will definitely cooperate well in the future."

"Yes, we will definitely take Chef Hojo's suggestion into consideration in the future."

"Chef Hojo, there was a misunderstanding before, I hope you don't mind."

Whether the three chefs were trying to keep their jobs or were genuinely impressed, they did so in a way that won them over.

At least in terms of attitude, Hyun has completely changed.

Lu Xuanyu stood next to Hojo Miyoko and placed his hand on her shoulder:

"We won, Miyoko."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Hojo Miyoko nodded heavily to Lu Xuanyu.

The prerequisite for earning respect was Lu Xuanyu's unconditional support.

The weight of this help will stay with her forever.

The semi-finals have begun, and the judging panel consists of familiar faces! [Please subscribe!]

A few days later, on the day of the semi-finals.

A host of renowned figures and celebrities flocked to Totsuki Academy to witness the rare spectacle of the battle.

The cheerleaders from Polaris Dormitory arrived early, ready to cheer on their colleagues.

Having come this far, every contestant's goal is naturally to win the championship.

The two teams that will face off in today's two matches will be determined by a draw.

Round 1: Megumi Tadokoro vs. Hisako Shinto!

Round 2: Alice Nakiri vs. Akira Hayama!

The highly anticipated first round was extensively publicized in the Far Moon Express.

The reason is simple: Tadokoro Megumi and Hisako are, on the surface, Lu Xuanyu's and Nakiri Erina's secretaries, respectively.

As the secretary of one of the Ten Heroes, their direct confrontation undoubtedly symbolizes the showdown between Lu Xuanyu and Erina.

However, Lu Xuanyu and Erina Nakiri didn't care about this kind of boring publicity at all.

Because they all know very well that Tadokoro Megumi and Hiiro 277 Sand's current strength is the result of Lu Xuanyu's training.

Erina did participate, but her impact was far less than that of Lu Xuanyu.

Regardless of which side wins, it is actually a victory for Lu Xuanyu.

It's worth mentioning that the person who served as the emcee for this event was not Rei Kawashima.

Instead, it was an old acquaintance of Lu Xuanyu... Dojima Gin!

He is also one of the five examiners in this case!

The backstage area before the duel begins.

Lu Xuanyu arrived at the team of examiners and greeted each of them.

"Dojima-senpai, Hinako-senpai, Sonoka-senpai!"

"Thank you all for coming all this way. After the review is over, would you like to come and sit at my Polaris Dormitory?"

Lu Xuanyu first greeted the three people politely.

Then, he turned to the only senior student he had never met before, Kakuzaki Taki!

She is a year ahead of Kikuchi Sonoka and was once the second seat of the Elite Ten.

He currently owns his own restaurant in the West and is an outstanding entrepreneur chef.

"Taki-senpai probably doesn't remember me. Let me introduce myself..."

"No need for introductions, Junior Brother Xuan Yu!"

With a carefree and easygoing personality, Kakuzaki Taki crossed his arms in front of him, looking quite nonchalant, and continued:

"Now, in Far Moon, who doesn't know the name Lu Xuanyu?"

"I just ran into some seniors and found out that you actually defeated Shinomiya Kojiro during your training camp?"

"What a scary brat! How about a food battle with me?"

"Anytime is fine as long as I'm in Japan!"

Lu Xuanyu: "..."

Such a combative senior?

Before he could say anything, she launched into a barrage of attacks, leaving Lu Xuanyu overwhelmed.

As expected, all the chefs who had worked with the Elite Ten of Totsuki thought they were invincible.

"Sure, I'll ask my senior for advice when I have the chance."

"You've come all this way, it must be tiring. I hope today's match will bring you some surprises."

Lu Xuanyu did not react.

He is the organizer, representing the face of the Ten Outstanding Individuals Council.

If you start arguing and bickering, it makes you look like you have no taste.

There will be plenty of time to tell Kakuzaki Taki what needs to be told.

After greeting everyone, Lu Xuanyu didn't speak to Mizuhara Fuyumi.

Mizuhara Fuyumi, standing to the side, had a very intriguing expression.

Even knowing that Lu Xuanyu might be deliberately distancing himself from the situation, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

result.

Lu Xuanyu bypassed the crowd and came to Mizuhara Fuyumi's side.

He lowered his voice and said:

"Are you sleeping well at home? Have you been scared lately?"

"I'll come back to be with you after this stage is over."

Mizuhara Fuyumi tried to remain calm, only nodding slightly, but her heart was pounding.

……

Soon after, the judging panel entered the room.

The first match has officially begun.

Hisako stood in front of the kitchen counter, looking at Tadokoro Megumi across from her with a relaxed expression, and her own nervousness lessened considerably.

"Xiao Hui, this time I will give it my all."

"You'd better watch out, don't lose to me too easily!"

Despite the intense confrontation, the two women showed no signs of tension or hostility.

Megumi Tadokoro nodded in agreement and said with a smile:

"I will defeat you with all my might, Hisako."

"If I win, I'll treat you to dinner after this."

Round one, cooking begins!

The atmosphere at the scene was brought to an extremely tense level.

In contrast, Lu Xuanyu leisurely moved a chair over and sat down in the side of the room.

Erina felt nervous for Hisako, and her palms were sweating profusely.

This is a very important stage for Hisako.

The theme of the competition is meat dishes.

To unleash the full potential of medicinal cuisine, a high level of creativity is required.

"Hey, Xuan Yu Jun, are you having it easy?"

"It's tough to lose either way!"

Looking at Lu Xuanyu's expression, Erina couldn't help but ask him a question.
