Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

Upon hearing this, the junior high school members of the Chinese Cuisine Research Association exchanged glances and couldn't help but gasp.

The way everyone looked at Xiang Ji's back instantly changed.

The recognition from the Totsuki Ten Masters is something not everyone can obtain, especially since it includes the most terrifying senior in the current world, Kakuzaki Taki.

But there's still something they don't quite understand.

Even if Xiang Ji's cooking is recognized by the two Totsuki Ten Masters, there's no need for the senior members of the research club to act like this, right?

"And he's narrow-minded..." The senior who spoke lowered his voice to a minimum.

Do you know?

"During the opening ceremony, a transfer student offended him, so he launched a food battle against the person who offended him, with the stakes being expulsion."

"What? A food war where dropping out of school is the stake?"

Upon hearing this, the junior high school students present immediately understood why the senior members of the research association were so afraid of Xiang Ji.

Who wouldn't be afraid of that!

"Yes, the person who had the food battle with him yesterday was seen moving out of his rented house the night he lost the match."

……

Totsuki Chinese Cuisine Research Association.

When Xiang Ji walked into the Chinese Cuisine Research Association carrying the Giant Gate Saber, he always felt that the atmosphere inside was a bit strange.

"It's strange."

"Is there something wrong with me?"

When Xiang Ji noticed that everyone he encountered either buried their heads or turned their eyes away when they saw him, their expressions becoming increasingly confused.

What's going on here?

Now it seems like I've suddenly become a street urchin, and everyone seems to be afraid of me when they see me.

Could it be because of the Giant Gate Blade?

That's not right!

It's normal for a chef to carry a knife with them when they go out, right? Besides, this isn't the first time I've carried a giant sword with me.

Just then, a short boy with dyed yellow hair suddenly appeared in front of Xiang Ji and blocked his way.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"You must be the Net-Cut Demon from China, right?" The short boy stared at Xiang Ji menacingly.

Are there evil spirits from China?

When Xiang Ji heard what the short man who appeared in front of him said, he couldn't help but frown slightly. What was all this about?

However, Xiang Ji was no stranger to the short, blond-haired man in front of him.

Take care of me for a long time!

Like Shiki, he is a member of the 91st class of Totsuki Academy and the eighth seat of the future Totsuki Ten.

"Kuaga Teruki."

"What is this 'Net-Cut Demon' you just mentioned?" Xiang Ji asked Jiuwo Zhaoji in a deep voice.

"Hehehe?"

"So my fame has grown this much? Even the transfer students have heard of me."

However, Kuga Teruki did not answer Xiang Ji's question immediately, but instead laughed heartily, absorbed in the fact that Xiang Ji knew his name.

Chapter 62 Terunori Kuga: You bastard, I heard you call me a shorty!

"Kyuuga!"

"You brat, don't get too cocky!" Just as Kuga Terunori was laughing, a loud shout, like the striking of a large bell, suddenly interrupted his laughter.

"You damn gorilla!"

"I'll take the head chef position of the Chinese Cuisine Research Association from you sooner or later." Suddenly, a guy who was half a head taller than Xiang Ji appeared behind Kuga Terunori.

"Really? You brat, you'd better hurry up!"

"I'll be graduating from Totsuki Academy next year, so this is the last year I'll give you, kid."

Suddenly, a burly gorilla appeared here, its large, fan-like hand pressing down on Kuga Terunori's head.

"Ahhh!"

"You damn gorilla, who did you just call a dwarf?!" Terunori Kuga shouted back, jumping up and down, his face flushed with anger.

"You brat."

“I didn’t say you were short just now, and it seems like you haven’t grown taller since you joined our Chinese Cuisine Research Association, right?”

The burly gorilla's words were like a knife, piercing deeply into Teruki Kuga's heart.

"Who said that? I'm a full two centimeters taller than when I entered first grade!"

"You damn gorilla, I'll be taller than you someday, you just wait!" Hisa Teruyuki gritted his teeth fiercely.

"Yes, yes, it's grown two centimeters. I'll wait for you..."

But the burly gorilla's tone and expression were so perfunctory that I was so angry I almost bit his gums to pieces.

After finishing his perfunctory reply to Kuga Teruki, the burly gorilla's gaze immediately fell on Xiang Ji.

“Xiang Ji, I know exactly what your purpose is in coming to our Chinese Cuisine Research Association.”

"I can give you the recipe of the Chinese Dragon Chef that our Chinese Cuisine Research Association has in its collection, but I have one condition."

"Yomi-senpai, what are your conditions?" After hearing Yomi Teshin's words, Xiang Ji didn't even care about what Kuga Terunori had said about the Net-cutting Demon.

Night-viewing Iron Heart!

A third-year student of the 88th class of Totsuki Academy, and currently the president of the Totsuki Chinese Cuisine Research Association.

"The conditions are simple: all Xiang Ji has to do is have a match with this arrogant little dwarf."

"Then we'll give you the recipe from our Chinese Cuisine Research Association's collection, Xiang Ji." As Yomi Teshin spoke, he vigorously ruffled Kuga Teruki's hair with his large hand.

"Ahhh!"

"You damn gorilla, you just called me a dwarf again, didn't you? I heard it all!" Teruki Kuga shouted angrily.

"No problem!"

"Don't you have any other requests, Yomi-senpai? Like, what kind of equal stakes you'd like to offer?"

There's no need for that.

"Anyway, this arrogant little dwarf could never be a match for you, Xiang Ji."

With just one hand, Yami Teshin easily suppressed Kuga Terunori's resistance.

"Ahhh!"

"Who do you think you are, you muscle-bound gorilla? How could I possibly lose!" Upon hearing Yami Teshin's words, Kuga Terunori instantly became even angrier.

"And you bastard, don't call me a shorty!"

Although cooking skills are one of Teruki Kuga's weaknesses, his height is his biggest weakness.

If I had just told Tie Xin that Jiu Wo Zhao Ji's cooking skills were inferior to Xiang Ji's, I wouldn't be so angry.

And in that very sentence, Yami Teshin once again mocked his height, so how could Kuga Terunori possibly tolerate this?

However, just as Yami Teshin didn't care about Kuga Terunori's reverse scales before, the current situation is naturally the same.

……

"Hey, hey, hey, have you all heard?" The news that Kuga Terunori was going to have a food battle with Xiang Ji quickly spread throughout the Chinese Cuisine Research Association.

"Is Teruyuki Kuga going to have a food battle with his seniors from the high school again? The food battle is being held over at Building 3."

"A senior from the high school? Who is that? Who should I challenge?"

"Besides Yami-sensei, I remember all the other high school seniors in our research group lost to Kuga in the food battles, right?"

"The high school senior that Kuga Terunori challenged wasn't one of our research club seniors, but rather a senior who transferred to our Totsuki High School this year."

"A high school transfer student?"

"Hmm, I heard that he was specially invited by Boss Yami. Boss Yami even promised to give him the Dragon Chef's recipe from our research club in order to invite him over?"

"That recipe from Chef Long in our research group?"

"No way!"

"Who exactly is that senior? Boss Yami even brought out one of our research club's treasures."

"His name is Xiang Ji. He's an international student from China. I heard that the seniors in the high school now call him the Chinese Net-Cut Demon."

"The Net-Cutter Demon?"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss, this title of Senior Xiang Ji sounds terrifying..."

"Oh, I heard that..."

"Eeh eh eh?"

"What I heard is different from what you said. It seems the Net-Cutting Demon is because of this..."

"No, no, you're all wrong. I heard it's..."

……

Boom! Boom!

While the students at the Chinese Cuisine Research Association were discussing Xiang Ji, a young woman in a cheongsam heard about it and immediately stopped cooking.

He immediately set off towards Building No. 3 of the Chinese Cuisine Research Association.

Miyoko Hojo, a student in the 92nd class of Totsuki Academy, is known as the "Iron-Fire Dragon," and her culinary skills are comparable to those of the Polaris Dormitory's Shinju.

……

"The food battle theme is Chinese cuisine, and I'm the judge. You guys are all okay, right?" Yami Teshin said, looking at Xiang Ji.

“I have no problem here,” Xiang Ji replied calmly.

"very good."

"Our culinary research association has a fairly rich variety of ingredients, but the ingredients are limited to those available within our association."

"As for the time?"

"How about limiting the cooking time to two hours?"

“No problem,” Xiang Ji continued.

"The food battle will start in 30 minutes. Xiang Ji, what ingredients do you need for your dish? I'll have someone fetch them for you now."

"Thank you for your help."

"Right now, the ingredients I need include tofu..."

"No problem, Daisuke, you heard everything, right?" Yami Tesshin instructed his henchman.

"Yes, sir!"

"Hey, you damn gorilla, aren't you going to ask for my opinion? Why are you only concerned about this guy?" Kuga Terunori glared at Yami Tesshin with great displeasure.

"You arrogant little dwarf, isn't your specialty Sichuan cuisine, or spicy cuisine, the kind of Chinese food you're best at?"

"As for ingredients?"

"Don't you have hands? Do I need to get it for you?" Yomi Tesshin's face showed a hint of disdain as he impatiently waved his arm at Kuga Terunori.

"Ahhh!"

"You damn gorilla, you called me a dwarf again, didn't you?"
