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

Mito Ikumi nodded politely in thanks, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards Lu Xuanyu.

Lu Xuanyu smiled and gave her a thumbs up, acknowledging her performance.

Mito Ikumi approached Lu Xuanyu's side: "I consider this the initial completion of your test of me, Xuanyu... sir."

Passing the Polar Star Dormitory entrance exam signifies that Mito Ikumi has officially become one of Lu Xuanyu's secretaries.

Whether for the sake of the family business or for her own sake, Mito Ikumi did not want to slack off.

"Yes, I'm not worried about this kind of assessment at all."

"Let's get along well with everyone during our three years of high school."

"Everyone in Polaris Dorm is a wonderful roommate!"

"I hope you have a good time here."

Lu Xuanyu put aside his previous domineering aura and acted like a warm-hearted older brother, soothing Mito Ikumi's emotions.

"Okay...eh?"

"Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump!"

Just as Mito Ikumi was about to respond, she was caught off guard when she saw a pig run across the hall.

"It looks like a pig ran past?"

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"

"Huh? Could those be a bunch of ducks?"

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

"Why is there smoke coming from the second floor? Is it on fire?"

"..."

Mito Ikumi: Is the Polar Star Dormitory where I live really a normal student dormitory?

……

Eight o'clock at night.

With the addition of a new member, as is customary, all the dormitory members gathered again in Marui Zenji's room on the second floor.

"Why are you in my room for two days in a row?!"

"I cleaned it myself yesterday! Could you please clean it somewhere else next time?"

Marui Zenji was on the verge of tears.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to postpone tonight's toasting ceremony."

"Right now downstairs, another new member has arrived late and is undergoing assessment!"

Isshiki Satoshi alerted everyone, keenly aware of the situation on the first floor.

Mito Ikumi sat in the group of girls, her attention not on the new members being assessed at all.

She said in surprise:

"Could he be Isshiki-senpai, the seventh seat of the Elite Ten?"

"Does that mean the Polaris Dormitory... has two members of the Ten Outstanding Council!"

Ryoko Sakaki placed her hand on Ikumi Mito's shoulder:

"That's right, our roommates in Polaris Dorm are pretty amazing, aren't they!"

"This is my specially brewed rice juice. Let me pour you some first, Yu Mei."

Mito Ikumi subconsciously glanced at Sakaki Ryoko's figure.

There aren't many girls my age with a similar figure.

Ryoko Sakaki definitely counts!

"This is... sake?" Mito Ikumi asked in surprise, raising her glass to take it.

"Shh! Students aren't allowed to drink alcohol, but... rice wine juice, hehe!" Ryoko Sakaki said with a meaningful smile.

Lu Xuanyu, hearing Isshiki Satoshi's words, echoed her:

"I saw him when I went upstairs just now. I think he was the only transfer student today?"

"His name is... Soma Yukihira!"

"He is currently undergoing the dormitory entrance examination. If all goes well, he will become another new roommate of ours."

What is supposed to come will come.

Even though Lu Xuanyu cut off most of the "emotional entanglements" of the "Medicine King" in the original work.

The trend of people moving into the Polar Star Dormitory cannot be completely stopped.

This was the path that Soma Yukihira's father, Joichiro Saiba, had arranged for him before he came to Totsuki Culinary Arts.

Given Soma Yukihira's combative personality, and being in the same dormitory and the same grade, a direct confrontation is likely inevitable in the future.

Perhaps, we could make good use of his original "halo" and "combative personality" to achieve more of our own goals.

"A transfer student? I remember him. He made some outrageous statements at the entrance ceremony, saying he would defeat everyone in the academy."

"Ah, now that you mention it, I remember. I really don't know where he got the courage."

"Is he going to be a difficult guy to get along with? A delinquent with a bad temper?"

"He must be very capable; I heard he's the only student to pass the transfer student exam!"

"Want to come down and check it out? It'll be more lively with another new roommate!"

"..."

.......

19. I was lurking in the public bathroom when a lewd woman came to my room! [Seeking flowers and ratings!]

Lu Xuanyu didn't need to watch Yukihira Soma's assessment process to know the final result.

Just twenty minutes later.

One more person joined the original gathering.

Everyone took turns introducing themselves, which helped the two new members get to know each other better.

Tonight, Aunt Wenxu allowed them to stay out a little later.

Give young people more space and time to interact.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

"..."

The young chefs raised their glasses together, celebrating once again the joyous and lively spirit of their youth.

Discussions, which had been rising and falling, began to unfold again one after another.

"Ibuzaki was paired with Yukihira Soma during the day? I didn't hear you mention it when you got back!"

"Yeah, I never thought I'd run into them again at Polaris Dormitory. During class today, they were treated like a thorn in my side and got a lot of dirty looks."

"Haha, sorry, it's all my fault. Luckily, I passed the test smoothly."

"Hmm, his culinary skills are certainly commendable; he's clearly a talented person."

"Wow!! It's rare to see Ibuzaki talk so much. It seems Yukihira Soma is really amazing!"

"Not at all, to become the best in Far Moon, you definitely need a foundation."

"..."

As the conversation progressed...

Isshiki Satoshi began to explain the concepts of "Totsuki Elite Ten Council" and "Food Wars" to Yukihira Soma.

This gave Soma Yukihira an initial understanding of who exactly were the students standing at the pinnacle of culinary talent at Totsuki Culinary Academy.

What is the most effective way to replace them?

"Amazing!"

"So, we have two outstanding students in our dorm!"

"Xuan Yu is actually one of the top ten talents in the same grade as me!"

"I didn't realize that someone my age could be as amazing as you."

"Haha, I'm really lucky. Coming to this dormitory apartment was definitely the right decision."

"Xuan Yu, would you like to have a duel with me now?"

"I'll bet your spot among the top ten!"
