Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

"Shut up!"

"Does Golden think you know more about Japanese cuisine than Senior Inui?" Before Golden could finish speaking, he was coldly interrupted.

"And is going off-topic really that important?"

"Don't forget, we're here for a study session, not a food battle. The team food battle is today's topic," Ichiichi continued.

What happened to the accommodation study program?

What happened to the team food battle?

Just because the team food battle is today's topic, does that mean we can ignore the rules of the food battle? The golden face still looked very depressed.

"It's already the second day."

"Don't you realize the true nature of residential training? The purpose of residential training is to weed out students from among us who do not meet Totsuki Academy's requirements."

"Do you think Senior Gan would eliminate someone who can't produce a dish that satisfies her, or someone who can?"

"Not to mention, Xiang Ji's cooking is on point."

“How is that possible? He clearly just now…” Jinse instinctively wanted to refute.

"Idiot, Golden, think carefully about the difference between Chinese and Japanese cuisine." Seeing Golden's stubbornness, Yi Zhangchag had no intention of continuing the conversation.

Let him think whatever he wants.

Given Jinse's current mindset, it's only a matter of time before they're eliminated.

……

That's all.

"That concludes this morning's lesson." Hinako Inui gently clapped her hands in front of Xiang Ji.

"Damn it, it's over."

"In the end, it was just a little bit short. If I had thought about it a little more..."

"Oh no, am I going to be expelled?"

"Ahhh, I don't want to leave Totsuki yet."

"Damn it, I shouldn't have given the head chef position to you. Now I'm completely finished."

After Hinako Inui finished speaking, the students in the classroom reacted in different ways.

In today's lesson, the assistants of the teams that lost the food battle, or those who won but whose dishes didn't satisfy Hinako Inui, all looked ashen-faced.

"Now I will announce the list of students who failed this project."

"Nakajima Keisuke, Nishimura Yuji..."

"Alright, students whose names have been called can pack their luggage after returning to the hotel, and then gather in the lobby. There will be a bus to take you back to Totsuki."

"Wait, wait a minute, Senior Qian."

"I won the food battle in the course, and I was the head chef in the team, so why was I expelled?" a student shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Senior Gan, why are those who lost able to stay, while we are eliminated?"

"Keisuke Nakajima, right?"

"With your cooking skills, you are not qualified to be the head chef at all. Your cooking skills are obviously not as good as your teammates, but you use the time limit to forcibly occupy the head chef position," Hinako Inui said coldly.

"My restaurant doesn't need someone like you."

"And you, what were you doing when I mentioned adding more rules? You were questioning your own chef."

"My restaurant doesn't need someone like you either."

"So, do you have any more questions?"

Chapter 105 The Uninvited Visit of Hinako Inui

“Xiang Ji Jun, I heard from Si that you brought out a dish in today’s task that Qian-senpai praised highly.”

Xiang Ji had only been back at the Far Moon Palace by bus for a few minutes when Kobayashi Ryudai rushed up to him as if he had smelled something.

I want to eat it~ I really want to eat it~

His golden pupils were fixed on Kobayashi Ryudai, his face filled with longing.

Xiang Ji: "..."

What's going on?

Wasn't Tsukasa Eishi on the bus back with her? He didn't leave the whole time. How did Kobayashi Ryudou find out about this in such a short time?

“No problem, I’ll make the same one for you, Longdan, when we have our gathering tonight,” Xiang Ji said to Xiaolin Longdan with practiced ease.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Xiang Ji, can't you do it now?"

“Now? Now we’re going to conduct the set meal trial. The seniors and guests have all arrived.” Xiang Ji said, pointing to Guan Shouping who was walking out of the hall.

"Damn it, I guess I'll have to wait until tonight." Kobayashi Ryudou immediately let out a frustrated wail.

……

"I am Seki Shouping, a graduate of the 79th class of Totsuki Academy." Seki Shouping's gaze swept over the students present, but paused slightly when it passed over Xiang Ji, Si Yingshi and others.

"You experienced the same problem yesterday, and the problem remains the same today."

"You need to complete 80 servings of this steak set meal in front of you within 60 minutes. Any student who fails to finish within the allotted time will be expelled."

"Let's begin!" Guan Shouping said, pressing the stopwatch on his hand.

"Eighty servings in sixty minutes? Are you kidding me? These rules are nothing like yesterday's!"

"Impossible, this is simply impossible."

"Yesterday I barely managed to finish fifty at the last minute, and now the number has increased by thirty. How could I possibly finish them all?"

"I'm doomed, I'm doomed."

After Guan Shouping announced the rules for today's meal test, the students in the hall started wailing and howling.

"Fifty-nine minutes and thirty seconds."

“You have fifty-nine minutes and twenty-five seconds left, twenty-four, twenty-three…” Guan Shouping calmly read out the time on the stopwatch.

"Damn it, damn it."

"Damn it, don't block the way, get out of the way."

"Hey, don't push me."

"Damn it, I saw this place first, go somewhere else."

"Stop talking nonsense. Who told you to dawdle there? This place is mine now."

Upon hearing Guan Shouping's countdown, the students who had just been complaining immediately rushed towards the cooking station that hadn't been taken away yet.

"Unqualified."

"It's already the second day of the residential training, but your mindset still hasn't changed?"

Looking at the students in front of him who only started to act at the very last minute because of their complaints and protests, Guan Shouping had already sentenced their future at Totsuki Academy to death in his heart.

It's already the second day, and students who haven't adapted to the rules of the residential workshops have no chance of surviving until the end.

……

"This one, this one, and this one, the portion is insufficient, go back and make them again."

"The steak was undercooked; it wasn't done to my liking."

"Hey you over there, don't just talk the talk but walk the walk. You can stop talking, but you can't stop walking the walk." Guan Shouping's voice echoed in the hall.

Compared to Hinako Inui, Morihira Seki was much more dedicated when he served as a lecturer for the project.

However, Guan Shouping's standards are also more stringent.

……

"Xiang Ji, eighty copies, complete." Guan Shouping glanced deeply at the Xiang Ji when he announced this.

"Wow, that's fast! The assignment already requires eighty servings, but he's still cooking them this fast?"

"Damn it, am I too slow? I've only completed half of his number."

After Guan Shouping announced that Xiang Ji had completed the project first, the students nearby now looked at Xiang Ji as if he were a monster.

"Rindou, Tsukasa, Momo-chan, I'll go back to my room and wait for you." Through the project plan, he turned around and said to Tsukasa Eishi and the others.

"As expected of Xiang Ji, he finished so quickly. It seems I need to step up my game."

"No problem, Sima and I will be there right away."

"Damn it, who gave you permission to call me that?" Faced with Xiang Ji's voice, Si Yingshi and the other two reacted in completely different ways.

……

As a student of Dongda University, or more precisely, a southerner, I personally am not very used to public bathhouses and public baths.

Therefore, Xiang Ji is destined not to encounter a certain hunky man who periodically spawns in the large public bath area of ​​the Far Moon Resort.

After Xiang Ji finished taking a bath in the bathroom, there was a knock on the door.

"Xiang Ji, I've also come to join your gathering." But when the door opened, it wasn't Kobayashi Ryudou and the others who appeared in front of Xiang Ji, but Inui Hinako.

After she finished speaking, Hinako Inui walked into Xiang Ji's room as if she had no idea what politeness was.

"Senior Qian, what brings you here?" Xiang Ji looked at Qian Hinako in front of him with some speechlessness.

"Hey, didn't I make myself clear enough? I'm here to attend your gathering." Inui Hinako looked at Xiang Ji with an innocent expression.

Xiang Ji: "..."

No! Although I do have parties with Tsukasa Eishi and Kobayashi Ryudou in the evenings, the problem is that I seem to have invited Inui Hinako to my parties as well, right?

And why is it that Hinako Inui, who came uninvited, can speak so confidently?

No sooner had Inui Hinako finished speaking than the doorbell rang again outside Xiang Ji's room.

"Oh, is it Kobayashi and Tsukasa who are here now? I'll go open the door for Xiang Ji." Inui Hinatako ran excitedly to open the door for Xiang Ji.

Immediately afterwards, a scream rang out.

Hinako Inui was seen kneeling on the ground with a pained expression. In front of her stood a petite woman with short blue hair, who was gently wiping her palm.

"Senior Shuiyuan? Senior Wutongtian? Senior Guanshou?" Xiang Ji stared in shock at the figures that appeared at his door.

Mizuhara Fuyumi, Seki Morihei, and Donato Gotoda—some of the most famous guest lecturers invited by Totsuki Academy—are all here.

“Xiang Ji, we’re here to find Hinako.” Mizuhara Fuyumi said, pointing at Inui Hinako who was kneeling on the ground.

"Don't worry about us, we'll just sit here for a while and then leave."

Xiang Ji: "..."

No, it's hard not to feel uneasy about the way you guys are acting now, Mizuhara-senpai, isn't it?

Chapter 106 Dojima Gin, and the Unwilling Akanekubo Momo

Ding Ding Ding ~

Just seconds after Mizuhara Fuyumi and the others arrived at Xiang Ji's room, the doorbell rang again.

Xiang Ji first looked at Inui Hinako, who was now bowing deeply, then at Mizuhara Fuyumi and the other two, and then opened the door with a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

Never mind, never mind.

Even Fuyumi Mizuhara and Hinako Inui themselves don't care whether this will make them lose face in front of the students, so why should I worry about it?

After opening the door, the three people who finally appeared in front of Xiang Ji were Tsukasa Eishi, Kobayashi Ryudou, and Akane Kubo Momo. But in addition to the three of them, there was an unexpected guest.

Dojima Gin.

A graduate of the Far Moon Legends, the head chef and board member of Far Moon Resort, and a senior to their Polaris Lodge.

……

"Yo yo yo, Mizuhara, Hinako... you're all here." Dojima Gin greeted them with a smile upon seeing the Inui Hinakos in Xiang Ji's room.
