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

Seeing the scene temporarily quiet down, Lu Xuanyu raised his hand, interrupting the argument between the group.

"I think these conditions are fine!"

"Gentlemen, please stop arguing. I'll offer an equal condition, won't that solve the problem?"

All three of them looked over at the same time.

You could sense that Lu Xuanyu had a lot of confidence in him when he proposed the food battle.

"Did you hear that? You two gossips, the person involved has agreed!"

"Lu Xuanyu, tell me, what are your conditions?"

Kojiro Shinomiya smirked smugly.

A chef who is confident in his abilities will be willing to accept any challenge.

If I am this kind of person, then Lu Xuanyu must be too.

Of all the celebrity mentors, who isn't thinking about Lu Xuanyu right now?

Everyone is thinking about how to recruit such talent so that they can work in their stores in the future.

Kojiro Shinomiya is just a tsundere; that's why he doesn't take any real action.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xuanyu delivered this excellent opportunity to his doorstep.

Right now, he will naturally agree to any conditions that are within his power to do so.

"Since, Shinomiya-senpai's request is for me to be your employee for a year."

"It's very simple for me. In the future, I will have my own shop or a temporary catering business."

"Shinomiya-senpai will have to come and work for one week every month, until he has worked for a hundred weeks!"

"Since you have your own restaurant, it would be a bit unreasonable to ask you to work for me for a year."

"I'm an easy person, so I'll just make sure the duration is right and not worry about the details."

"Since you're a senior, and you've been working for a year, how about I suggest a total duration of about two years, or a hundred weeks?"

The conditions for the food battle were decided on a whim.

Kojiro Shinomiya was quite generous, only requiring employees to work for one year.

If the demands are too outrageous, Lu Xuanyu might make even more outrageous requests.

even so.

It sounds like the total duration is two years.

In reality, if there are one week per month and twelve weeks per year, it would take more than eight years to reach one hundred weeks.

Shinomiya Kojiro proposed to resolve the issue within a year, while Lu Xuanyu proposed a full eight years!

Kojiro Shinomiya was also well aware of this.

"You brat, you keep talking about respecting your seniors but don't care about the details."

"Since the time span has been extended to eight years, I might as well give you my life, okay?"

Kojiro Shinomiya grumbled in frustration.

"Shinomiya-senpai, as long as you win, that's all that matters. Are you worried about losing?"

Lu Xuanyu blinked his big eyes, as if he were completely innocent.

Just as we were getting to the crucial moment.

A steady voice of praise came from the doorway:

"Things are getting more and more interesting!"

"Shinomiya, are you afraid of this informal food battle?"

The three girls from Polaris Dormitory turned around at the same time.

She looked up at the tall man in a suit behind her.

"Senior Dojima!"

"Senior Dojima!"

"Senior Dojima!"

The three women exclaimed in unison in shock.

I never expected to attract so many monster-level seniors today.

Everyone came for... Lu Xuanyu!

"Eh? Even Dojima-senpai is here?"

"Senior Dojima, come quick! There's a coward over here."

"Shut up, you two! Who's the coward?"

Dojima Gin walked into the classroom.

First, he went to Lu Xuanyu's side and reached out his hand to him.

"Speaking of which, Director Lu is my superior."

"I was unable to formally receive you yesterday, please don't mind my neglect."

"There's so much to handle regarding the joint training program."

"If you don't mind, how about we hold this cooking competition on the last day of the training camp?"

"I will personally host the event and invite other mentors to serve as judges!"

"Try not to affect the progress of the training camp. Choosing the last day would be more reasonable."

Dojima Gin truly lives up to his reputation as a seasoned veteran.

After entering, he spoke eloquently, clearing up the chaotic situation in just a few words.

But the Food Wars are on... the last day?

It seems that the plot has changed once again after the withdrawal of Megumi Tadokoro's expulsion from school, as seen in the original work.

However, the exact date didn't matter to Lu Xuanyu.

The key is to take advantage of the training camp to accumulate points from these celebrity mentors.

"Senior Dojima, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"I agree with you; we shouldn't disrupt the training camp's schedule."

Lu Xuanyu was the first to answer.

Kojiro Shinomiya adjusted his glasses, nodded, and said:

"Since we've alarmed Senior Dojima, there's nothing we can do. It's up to him."

"I was the one who first proposed the conditions for the food battle, the theme of the duel..."

"Lu Xuanyu, you decide!"

Lu Xuanyu replied almost without hesitation:

"Let's choose...French cuisine as the theme!"

Dojima Gin: "!!!"

Mizuhara Fuyumi: "!!!"

Gan Hinatako: "!!!"

Everyone present knew that Kojiro Shinomiya specialized in French cuisine.

As a junior, I dare to take on challenges in areas where my seniors excel.

This demonstrates Lu Xuanyu's extremely confident mindset.

"Fine, I'll give you a quick and painless death!"

Kojiro Shinomiya's eyes flashed with a cold light.

……

night.

After the afternoon training session ended.

The group gathered in Lu Xuanyu's presidential suite.

Yukihira Densen: "A food battle? Challenging Shinomiya-senpai? The former number one seat at Totsuki Academy! Genha, you're too arrogant!"

Yoshino Yuuki: "You've gone mad! Young Master Genyu, you must be insane! Can you take it back? Think it over carefully!"

Ryoko Sakaki: "I was terrified too. A year's worth of employees. If we really lost, Genyu would have to work for the dreaded Shinomiya-senpai's shop for a year!"

Marui Zenji: "The world of yokai is truly beyond the comprehension of mortals. A first-year student challenging a mentor? Genyu, Genyu, you've become yet another first in the history of Totsuki Culinary Arts!"

Mito Ikumi: "Don't be so discouraged, everyone! Genyu-sama is very strong, he can win... he can win... right?"

Megumi Tadokoro: "I trust Genba-kun, but Shinomiya-senpai is also a tough opponent. Genba-kun, you must decide what dish to make!"
