Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

"Next."

"Now let's welcome the judges for this food battle! There are three judges in total!"

"The censors are..."

"Kikyuu Sonoka, the current sixth seat of the Totsuki Ten Masters! Kikuu-senpai!" Kawashima Rei raised the microphone and shouted out Kikuu Sonoka's name.

In an instant.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence, and everyone's eyes were focused on the entrance to the food battle judges' booth.

Kikuchi Sonoka, the sixth seat of the Totsuki Ten Masters?

sizzle!

How could such an important person appear here as a judge for this food battle?

……

"Isshiki-senpai."

"Did I hear that right?"

"Kikuchi-senpai!"

"Is the judge serving as the referee for today's Food Battle among the senior Xiang-style contestants really our current sixth seat of the Totsuki Ten Masters, Kikuchi-senpai?"

"How could such an important person appear here?" Yoshino Yuuki asked, her voice stammering with disbelief.

The Ten Heroes of Totsuki!

This is a big shot that Yoshino Yuuki and the others can only dream of!

Not just Yoshino Yuuki.

Ryoko Sakaki, Megumi Tadokoro, and Shun Ibuzaki all reacted similarly, their expressions tense like taut bows.

"Yuuki, you heard me right."

"The person the host just mentioned is none other than Kikuchi-senpai," Isshiki Satoshi replied with a smile, though his narrowed eyes suddenly opened.

It was obvious that Isshiki Satoshi's emotions were also not at peace.

The sixth seat among the Ten Heroes of the Far Moon

If the first judge is already so formidable, one can only imagine that the remaining two judges will not be ordinary people either.

It's not just about one-color wisdom.

Many others, including Kobayashi Ryudou and Megijima Tousuke, also thought of this, and everyone's eyes fell on Xiang Ji and Tanikawa Katsuya in the arena.

Kikuchi Sonoka's appearance was clearly aimed at either Xiang Ji or Tanikawa Katsuya; otherwise, why would Totsuki Juki appear in such an ordinary food battle?

As for who they came for?

Most people in the room already have the answer in their hearts, especially those who have a vague sense of Xiang Ji's strength.

"How interesting!"

"So even the current Ten Masters of Totsuki have been attracted by you? Xiang Ji-kun, I'm getting more and more curious about your cooking!"

Kobayashi Ryudai's gaze was fixed on Xiang Ji in the hall. He licked his lips with his pink tongue, revealing two sharp canine teeth at the corners of his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Kobayashi Ryudou's palm slammed heavily onto Tsukasa Eishi's back, the terrifying force almost knocking Tsukasa Eishi to the ground.

"Si, it was definitely the right decision for me to drag you to watch this food battle!"

"Even the sixth seat of the Ten Masters, Senior Kikuchi, is here. You owe me a huge favor now. You'll have to treat me to a meal at least once in the future..."

"No, it has to be three times of your cooking!" Kobayashi Ryudou demanded Cheese Eishi with an air of righteous indignation.

Three servings of food?

Upon hearing Kobayashi Ryudou's words, Tsukasa Eishi's face, which had just turned pale from her beating, turned even paler, and his thin body became even more swaying.

Tsukasa Eishi is skilled in French cuisine.

Rindou Kobayashi is also a true glutton, with an appetite beyond that of ordinary people, and can even eat up to a hundred dishes at once.

It's said that you'll be invited to cook three times, but you still need to cook at least hundreds of dishes yourself, and you need to put in your best effort; you can't just do any dish casually.

Ryudou Kobayashi was absolutely after his life!

As for refusing?

Ryudou Kobayashi wasn't the type to listen to others, let alone now that Kobayashi had something on him.

How could Kobayashi Ryudou possibly let go of such a golden opportunity to thoroughly manipulate him?

……

"Damn it."

"This guy actually knows Kikuchi-senpai from Food Wars?" Katsuya Tanikawa's face turned ashen.

Katsuya Tanikawa and Sonoka Kikuchi had no connection whatsoever, so of course Katsuya Tanikawa wouldn't think that Sonoka Kikuchi was after him.

"impossible!"

"impossible!"

“How could Kikuchi-senpai have come here because of him? No matter how strong he is, he is still only a first-year student like me.”

"Kikuchi-senpai appeared because it was so boring."

"That's right!"

"That's absolutely it! Kikuchi-senpai is just too boring!" But in his mind, Tanikawa Katsuya quickly found a reason for Kikuchi Sonoka's appearance.

They even went a step further and achieved self-hypnosis.

"Wait a moment."

"Since Kikuchi-senpai has appeared here, this is a chance to get his attention. As long as I can defeat this guy in the food battle."

Yes! That's right!

"As long as I can crush this guy, I will definitely be able to gain Kikuchi-senpai's attention, or even become Kikuchi-senpai's follower."

……

"Does Kiku know his senior?"

"So that's how it is. No wonder the host arranged for me to be part of this food battle." Xiang Ji realized the reason for the change in the food battle when he heard the name Kikuchi Sonoka.

If Kikuchi Sonoka is willing to attend and serve as a judge for her own food battle, how could the food battle committee responsible for hosting it not take it seriously?

The Ten Heroes of the Far Moon!

They are the highest authority in the Far Moon Empire, so they have a lot of influence. What's wrong with assigning them a host for the Food Wars as judges?

Let alone a small-time host, arranging an opening performance wouldn't be a problem for her at all.

There's just one problem.

It's been so long since Rei Kawashima announced the news about Sonoka Kikuchi, why hasn't Sonoka Kikuchi appeared yet?

Chapter 36 Bluefin Tuna Fights Real Seabream: The Advantage Lies With Me!

"Really!"

"How long are you going to stand here, you big-breasted monster? Get out of here right now!" A fierce voice suddenly rang out in the quiet hall.

Immediately afterwards, Kikuchi Sonoka covered her bottom and ran out of the passage with tears in her eyes, as if a demon was chasing her.

Oh oh oh oh oh!

Ah ah ah ah ah!

Kikuchi-senpai!

Kikuchi-senpai!

As soon as Kikuchi Sonoka appeared, the entire venue erupted in thunderous cheers, as if the roof would be blown off.

The Age of Great Repression!

This isn't just about seaweed, glutinous rice, and sweet bean curd!

Damn it!

Damn it!

Damn big-breasted monster!

Seeing that Kikuchi Sonoka's appearance immediately drew cheers from all the boys in the audience, and even her own fan club had turned against her, Kawashima Rei gritted her teeth and gripped the microphone tightly in her hand.

What happened to the Ten Heroes?

Even if Kikuchi Sonoka is one of the Totsuki Ten Masters, her behavior of stealing my popularity among the boys is absolutely unforgivable!

"Next."

"Now let's welcome the current second seat of the Totsuki Ten Masters, Kakuzaki Taki! Kakuzaki-senpai!" Kawashima Rei gave Kanji no time to exclaim.

There's no way.

Since Kawashima Rei's popularity among Totsuki boys is less than that of Kikuchi Daisei by a single finger, they had no choice but to ask Kakuzaki Daisei for help.

……

"Kakuzaki-senpai?"

"How is that possible?"

"Even Kakuzaki-senpai is here?" The boy, who had been suppressing his passion, was instantly stunned when Kakuzaki Taki's name appeared.

What exactly happened in today's food battle?!

Not only did the sixth seat, Kikuchi Sonoka, appear, but even the second seat, Kakuzaki Taki, came out.

Two of the Ten Heroes of the Far Moon Sect?

Is this really just a regular food battle between two first-year high school students, and not an important event like the fall selection?

……

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"Even Kakuzaki-senpai is here now?" Xiang Ji clicked his tongue as he looked at Kakuzaki Taki, who walked out with a scarf around his neck and a fierce expression.

He truly lives up to his reputation as Kakuzaki-senpai.

The moment he appeared, he immediately suppressed the commotion caused by Kikuchi Sonoka. No wonder Kakuzaki-senpai dislikes Kikuchi-senpai so much.

This is probably the cruelest thing in the world.

Currently serving as the sixth seat of the Ten Outstanding Individuals.

Currently ranked second among the Ten Outstanding Individuals.

The first two judges were already so impressive, so who will be the last judge to appear?

The first seat of the Ten Heroes?

All eyes, including Xiang Ji's, were on the judges' passage.

……

Damn it!

"What are you guys doing staring at the passageway? Turn your eyes on me!" Kawashima Rei screamed inwardly like a groundhog.

How can someone who is so cute be less attractive than the judges?

As Rei Kawashima introduced the last judge of the food battle, she slowly walked out of the passage, but the moment she appeared, the competition venue froze.

Roland Chappell.

The head of the French cuisine division at Totsuki Culinary School, a full-time instructor, and also Totsuki's only full-time French cuisine instructor.

One of the strictest teachers in the entire Far Moon Academy, she is known as the chef who never smiles.

……

"All right!"
