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

After being led by the hand, Megumi Tadokoro immediately looked around.

Only after confirming it was safe did he shake his head and say:

"I just arrived too, around the same time as Xuan Yu Jun."

..... ... ...

"Did you get enough rest, Xuan Yu? I told you yesterday that I could have come alone."

According to Tadokoro Megumi's true feelings.

Of course, I hope Lu Xuanyu can accompany me.

It's not just about seeing the fish market for the finals.

She'd be happy to do anything as long as Lu Xuanyu was by her side.

How could I possibly leave you alone?

"When it comes to selecting saury, I will definitely not let you lose to Hayama Akira."

"There are certain techniques to choosing the best saury at the fish market!"

For Tadokoro Megumi

Choosing ingredients is definitely not her area of ​​expertise.

She herself was well aware of this.

To win the championship, one must put in an absolute amount of effort in every aspect.

……factory.

After arriving at the fish market, the two browsed from stall to stall.

Pacific saury is not a special species.

It is a very common fish, and almost every store has it in stock.

Lu Xuanyu did not give up the opportunity to teach.

It explains the key points of selecting saury, enabling Tadokoro Megumi to master the skill.

Before the final, he can share his skills and knowledge.

When it came time to prepare the ingredients for the finals, Lu Xuanyu didn't give too many instructions or interfere.

Even if she wins, Tadokoro Megumi won't feel a great sense of accomplishment.

Lu Xuanyu was not the one participating; Tadokoro Megumi's feelings needed to be taken into account.

After visiting seven or eight houses in a short time.

When they arrived at the next shop, Tadokoro Megumi personally selected items based on what Lu Xuanyu had taught her.

"This one!"

"Lord Xuanyu, is that right?"

"The freshest and most suitable briar for the competition in this store is this one!"

After selecting some items, Tadokoro Megumi showed them to Lu Xuanyu, wanting to verify her inner judgment and thoughts.

Lu Xuanyu picked it up and said:

"It's probably one of the top three in the store, but not the best."

"Look at the streamlined body of this fish and the texture it feels to the touch!"

"In terms of season, it is indeed very suitable as an ingredient."

"It's perfectly fine for handling regular matches."

"But the opponent you're facing is someone with exceptional insight among their peers."

"But serving saury of this caliber is still somewhat inferior."

Judging from Lu Xuanyu's words, Tadokoro Megumi knew that she had not made the right choice.

Lu Xuanyu did not provide a definitive answer as to which option in the store was the best.

It's obvious they want Tadokoro Megumi to continue investigating.

Use your own judgment to find the truly best ingredients.

"The texture of the meat is not right..."

"Even better in terms of texture is..."

Tadokoro Megumi looked around and selected the fish again from among the various kinds.

Following Lu Xuanyu's method, Tadokoro Megumi quickly found an even better saury.

Before she could even reach out her hand...

Someone had already arrived ahead of time and picked up the best quality saury.

"This one is the best in the store!"

The newcomer, with dark skin, spoke with great confidence.

"Ryo Hayama..."

Tadokoro Megumi was no stranger to the other party...

Although they had little interaction, he was considered a favorite to win the championship in the fall selection competition.

She is also Tadokoro Megumi's next rival, and of course she wouldn't be so face-blind as not recognizing her.

"Your eyesight is excellent, no wonder you're Hayama Akira!"

"The king of spices for first-year high school students, it truly lives up to its name."

Lu Xuanyu spoke words of praise.

But when Hayama Ryo mentions it, it always sounds like he's mocking himself.

The king of spices?

Before Lu Xuanyu rose to prominence.

Ye Shanliang thought the same thing.

However, looking back at Lu Xuanyu's performance after becoming one of the Ten Heroes, we can see that...

It's conveying a very direct message...

In the realm of spices, Lu Xuanyu absolutely crushes his peers by 1.4.

The aversion to Lu Xuanyu was certainly not due to his strength.

Instead, he actually used sweet talk to lure Shiomi Jun to the Polar Star Dormitory.

Now, Hayama Akira can only see Shiomi Jun once or twice a week.

The rest of the time.

Shiomi Jun was either researching new knowledge about spices in the Polar Star Dormitory or discussing them with Lu Xuanyu in their room.

Hayama Akira was quite dissatisfied and resentful.

Unfortunately, there is still no solution.

His spice-making skills and knowledge were simply no match for Lu Xuanyu's.

Not to mention that he himself is no match for him, even Xi Jianrun has to learn from Lu Xuanyu.

Therefore, in his eyes, Lu Xuanyu's phrase "King of Spices" was more of a provocation and a joke.

"Does our Ten Heroes really enjoy teasing others?"

“Lu Xuanyu, I admit that you might be slightly stronger right now.”

"And only for now!"

"As for the others, 06 is not even on my list of opponents."

As he spoke, Hayama Akira's gaze swept over Tadokoro Megumi.

It was brimming with contempt, almost as if they were calling him out by name.

If Hayama Ryo had spoken politely, he might not have been able to unleash Tadokoro Megumi's potential.

From the very beginning of the selection process, no one believed that Megumi Tadokoro would be able to overcome all obstacles.

However, she gradually demonstrated her culinary skills, which led to her current achievements.

One step away from the championship!
