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

The common methods for removing scales from yellow croaker are either scraping the scales with a scaler or soaking the fish to remove the scales.

The former is too rough and will cause uneven quality of the meat inside.

If you're lazy and use seasonings to soften the scales during soaking, you'll fundamentally ruin the fish's natural flavor.

Neither of these is the best approach!

But for Lu Xuanyu, who possesses super-touch and the Wind Blade, it was not a difficult task at all.

Lu Xuanyu concentrated intently and reversed the sword god's body.

The back of the knife, riddled with pores, pressed against the yellow croaker...

follow closely.

Lu Xuanyu's movements were as swift as lightning, his continuous blade strikes leaving afterimages in the air.

The interlaced scales occasionally shimmered with a faint light, reflecting off the cold gleam of the blade.

Like a knife blade deftly dancing on a yellow croaker, playing an invisible melody.

Every lively note landed precisely on the scales.

In the waste pan beside it, scales of all sizes, arranged in a neat and orderly fashion, flew out from the pores.

It traced orderly arcs and landed precisely in the designated position.

Miyoko Hojo, her forehead beaded with sweat, watched Lu Xuanyu's performance in awe.

"How could there be... a whisper of wind?"

.......

Forty tables weren't enough, so Mizuhara-senpai used one! Her amazing skill is truly astounding! [Please give flowers and ratings!]

Miyoko Hojo wasn't the only one who heard the rumors.

As Lu Xuanyu's sword shadows accelerated further.

The whistling sound of the wind grew clearer and clearer.

The air vents of varying sizes on the wind blade allow airflow of different magnitudes to flow in during the rapid, undulating cuts.

The collision and repeated cycles of intersecting air currents produce a sound like the howling of the wind.

This is the origin of the name Wind Blade!

"The sound of wind? It really is the sound of wind! Was your hand so fast that it created an airflow?"

"Are you removing the scales? Using a kitchen knife to do it? Is it even possible to do it without damaging the meat at all?"

"Such speed, and the precision hasn't dropped at all. Not a single piece of meat is stuck to the back of each scale that has been cut off!"

"It's impossible to see Xuan Yujun's hand movements clearly. How did he do it? It's as precise as a ruler!"

"This, this is the power of the Elite Ten? It's too... too incredible!"

"Look, it's Ms. Fuyumi Mizuhara!"

"Standing up on the lecturer's platform? Even Fuyumi Mizuhara is captivated!"

"..."

Fuyumi Mizuhara is a proud woman at heart.

They could have moved closer to see it up close.

She deliberately remained motionless in front of the stage, even conspicuously standing on the lecturer's platform, gazing into the distance.

Otherwise, given her height, it would be very difficult for her to see what was happening in the last row.

"Such amazing swordsmanship, speed... incredibly fast."

Fuyumi Mizuhara continued muttering to herself.

It's not just about speed.

To determine the connection point between a scale and the fish body, it is necessary to cut and separate the scale without damaging the flesh.

It requires a sufficiently steady hand and an exceptionally precise choice of entry point.

Even a small mistake can lead to wasted effort and complete failure.

Maintaining these qualities requires a level of skill that only a highly experienced chef can achieve.

In addition, there's the speed attribute...

Fuyumi Mizuhara knew to herself that she absolutely could not do it!

As she watched Lu Xuanyu's superb knife skills, Mizuhara Fuyumi's mind raced through the images of the top-tier genius chefs she had encountered.

Hinako Inui, Kojiro Shinomiya, Gin Dojima...

Can any of them do it?

Fuyumi Mizuhara could not confirm.

This is the most breathtaking part!

"hateful……"

"Damn it..."

"We should have been more discreet just now; we almost signed!"

Fuyumi Mizuhara bit her finger, feeling utterly frustrated.

She was filled with anticipation, wondering what kind of dish Lu Xuanyu would present.

The group consisting of Megumi Tadokoro and Yuuki Yoshino.

Yoshino Yuuki stood still, jumping up and down, trying to catch a glimpse of what was happening.

"The students in front are too tall, I can't see anything."

"Xiao Hui, can you hear me?"

"It's all just talk! They're all talking about it!"

"Has Young Master Xuan Yu's swordsmanship become so superb?"

"It can make a sound when cutting food? Just how fast is that?!"

Yoshino Yuuki spoke excitedly, even forgetting to do the processing work she was doing.

She desperately wanted to see Lu Xuanyu in his cooking state.

"Yeah, I heard that."

"Yuuki, remember to beat the eggs."

"It will be needed soon, in about two minutes."

Tadokoro Megumi remained focused, still reminding Yoshino Yuuki of what she needed to do.

"Xiao Hui, you're surprisingly calm."

“Aren’t you the most excited one every time Young Master Xuan Yu steals the spotlight?”

Yoshino Yuuki asked curiously.

Megumi Tadokoro smiled warmly:

"It's Xuan Yu-jun's kitchenware, the Wind Blade."

“I knew from the sound that Xuan Yu Jun was very serious this time.”

"He's so dedicated, we can't afford to fall behind."

She always stayed by Lu Xuanyu's side.

Tadokoro Megumi knew most of Lu Xuanyu's secrets.

It is precisely because of this knowledge that one can understand the gap between oneself and Lu Xuanyu.

If you want to follow in Lu Xuanyu's footsteps, you absolutely cannot let your guard down.

Always take cooking seriously and strive to improve yourself.

……

Lu Xuanyu and Hojo Miyoko's group.

Even the students around him were deeply shocked by Lu Xuanyu.

Not to mention, Hojo Miyoko, who personally experienced the difference in strength right here.

She had thought that Lu Xuanyu was a skilled and excellent chef.

But I never imagined... that it would be so incredibly strong!

Once Hojo Miyoko came to her senses, she removed the scales and gills, cleaned the cavity, and removed the thorns.

The initial processing of the yellow croaker has been completed!

"Going to the movies?"
