Offer blocks to the end times

"That's about it, give it a try," Senju nodded, and Ram waved his hand to take out a lot of ingredients and started cooking on the kitchen counter.

"Uh," Senju was speechless as she watched her technique. She had been learning for several days, but Ram's skills hadn't improved much. The vegetables she cut were uneven, and her control of the heat wasn't very good either. Sure enough, strength and cooking skills weren't directly related. There really is such a thing as terrible cooking.

Well, of course, Ram's dishes can't really be considered culinary disasters. Senju is thinking of inviting those 'experts' in culinary disasters over here to present everyone with truly culinary disasters!

After all, the chefs here are really unqualified. Although they are called "dark" (meaning unorthodox or unorthodox), the dishes they make are extremely delicious. Shaking her head, Senju took out her tablet and started searching online for the dark cooking masters in the comics.

First up was Himeji Mizuki from Baka and Test. Her cooking was absolutely 'amazing'. Senju casually stole her lovingly made bento box, opened it, and saw Reum next to her slam down on the table with a 'thud,' then jump up, shouting, "Master, what are you holding?! That's dangerous!"

"Um, someone's lunch," Senju briefly explained, then saw Ram's expression of utter shock and admiration. "Actually, someone can eat such a dish?! I just smelled it and I could tell that there were a lot of chemical ingredients in it. Even the demons can't stand this kind of food, and someone actually eats it. That's amazing."

"Uh," Senju was speechless for a moment. Well, it's an anime after all. Even culinary disasters won't kill you. After slightly breaking down the ingredients, his eyes twitched. It was a bento box that looked great, but in addition to the normal ingredients, Himeji Mizuki had added some 'seasonings', such as concentrated sulfuric acid and nitric acid.

This result shocked even Senju. He racked his brains but couldn't understand why these two ingredients were in the dish.

Everyone knows these two things are dangerous, right? They'd be extremely careful when doing experiments, wouldn't they? And now someone's actually using them in cooking? There's a limit to how naive people can be!

Moreover, what's most terrifying is that this bento is a love bento, specially prepared by Himeji Mizuki for someone, filled with deep affection. Bringing such a chef over would be too dangerous; it would practically disrupt the workings of the world. If placed here, it would poison at least dozens of gourmets!

Seeing Ram's disgusted look, Senju quickly took out perfume and sprayed it on the bento. The scent immediately turned into a pleasant fragrance. Then she closed the lid and returned the bento to its original place. Rem, however, kept glancing over here. She had also smelled a very peculiar scent!

Chapter 1568 Extremely Terrifying

Shocked by the truly bizarre cuisine, Senju dared not introduce any more of those 'experts' to this area. It was simply too terrifying; their level of skill far exceeded Senju's imagination.

Senju wiped away cold sweat, while Ram stared speechlessly at her master. She had just caught a glimpse of Senju's thoughts; how could she have come up with such a vicious plan? Was her cooking really that bad?

Looking at the stir-fried dishes in the pot, Ram shook her head. How could this be? Her cooking skills were quite high; she could never make such a terrifying dish. Besides, sulfuric acid and nitric acid weren't ingredients that should be found in a kitchen! Thinking this, she added some illusionary ingredients, which made it look much better!

Soon, Ram's dish was ready. It looked absolutely dreamy; an ordinary person would be completely captivated by it at first glance. Of the three essential elements of color, aroma, and flavor, the color was already at a top level, and the aroma was also excellent, making one feel relaxed just by smelling it. Ram took a light sniff and then nodded, "Not bad. After a few days of learning, my cooking skills have improved a lot."

"..." Senju, standing to the side, was speechless. If you exclude the illusion ingredients, this dish is actually not as good as the average student's dish in the Polar Star Dormitory. But with the addition of illusion ingredients, this dish can be considered world-class. And it's not a terrible dish either. Senju didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Hmph, my cooking skills are great, aren't they?" Ram said smugly, then called Rem over to taste it. Rem had a happy smile on her face. Senju suddenly realized that she also used a lot of high-end ingredients in her cooking, so it was similar to this.

Senju, who had secretly tasted it, sensed the doting affection Ram had for her younger sister. However, at that moment, Ram placed a seemingly ordinary dish in front of Senju, saying, "Master, this is your dish. Don't steal Rem's!"

“Uh,” Senju was speechless for a moment, then took a bite, and her eyes lit up. Although it looked ordinary, the emotion it contained was truly love and warmth for Senju. “This is the best dish I’ve eaten today. Ram has improved a lot.”

“Of course, my sister’s cooking is the best,” Rem said happily, but Senju wanted to complain. The two dishes were clearly the same dish and tasted the same, so why did they look and smell so different?!

Well, Senju actually understands too. It's just that Ram expresses and reveals the feelings between the two of them. The illusion ingredients in the dish perfectly reflect Ram's feelings. Ram originally made the dish for the two of them.

However, while they were eating, after the explanation of the principles, they started to judge which dish scored the most points. They even came over to ask Senju to judge, but Senju politely declined, saying, "Everyone's dishes are good, but I feel that Ram-chan's dish is the best. It was made especially for me, so I'm sorry."

"I see," the chefs said with obvious understanding. Then they looked at the students next to them. Finally, the results were announced: the champion of this competition was Seiichiro Saiba, the runner-up was Asahi Saiba, the third place was Azami Nakiri, and then came Megumi Tadokoro and Satoshi Isshiki. The other students were just a little short.

After the selection, they actually held a dark cooking competition. Soma Yukihira and Seiichiro Saiba were competing to see who could make the worst dish. Asahi Saiba and Azami Nakiri also participated with smiles. However, everyone else just smiled. Megumi even wanted to run away. After all, no matter how you look at it, she was the best taster!

Unfortunately, this is Xiaohui's room, so she has nowhere to escape. After finishing their meal, Qian Shou also went over to watch. To be honest, their ideas are really speechless. Various items are paired with squid legs, which looks very much like a Cthulhu Mythos dish. Eating this kind of food will definitely lower your SAN value.

Watching the chefs over there smiling as they ate that bizarre dish, their faces then breaking into indescribable grins, Senju thought they didn't understand what "disgusting" truly meant. So, Senju reached out and grabbed the bento box that Yoshii Akihisa from the other world was about to eat. Akihisa, after saying "I'm eating," realized his lunch was gone. "What happened? Where's my bento? It wasn't under the box! Who stole my bento?!"

"Try this, this is the worst dish in the world," Senju said, opening the bento box. The group of people with eerie smiles looked over, and with just one glance, they had grasped the essence of this bento. "Oh, it looks good, the nutrition is well-balanced, it doesn't look bad."

"You all have a taste," said Thousand Hands.

He handed it over, and the four of them glanced at it, then simultaneously tasted it. After a few chews, they remarked, "This bento box is bright, but it's still not..."

"Bang bang bang bang," the four of them fell to the ground at the same time, but then they raised their hands, and Senju heard them shouting "Help!" "Uh, we went a bit too far."

Even though the four were on the verge of death, the World Will didn't budge. So, dying from the food didn't count? Senju pondered this for a moment, then several classmates rushed over and slapped them in the face. "Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you guys? Is this really that bad?! No, wait, your mouths are starting to bleed! This bento is poisoned! Ambulance, ambulance!"

Several students shouted and looked at Senju. Senju shook his head slightly. In fact, none of them had swallowed the dish. They had only tasted the true flavor of the dish and were then knocked down. The four chefs were now in an illusion. Their friends on the other side of the Sanzu River were calling to them.

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous. They should wake up soon. They fainted just because the bento box smelled so amazing," Senju shook her head and looked at the worried classmates. "Why don't you try some too?"

The group hurriedly shook their heads, "No, no need, Lord Senju, please keep it for yourself."

"..." Senju was speechless for a moment, then solemnly handed the lunchbox to Yoshino Yuuki. "Girl, please enjoy it. This is cuisine from another world."

"No, no, no, please let Lady Senju try it herself," Yoshino Yuuki pushed the terrible bento back, and Senju pushed it back. She looked like she was about to cry. Just then, a voice came from the side, "Let me, your grandma, try it."

Wenxu, who had been watching from the sidelines, walked over, picked up a piece, and put it in her mouth. "Judging by its appearance, it shouldn't be too bad, right? *bang*"

Another victim fell to the ground, and the students nearby cried out in grief, "Grandma~ oh, no, Sister Wenxu~"

Chapter 1569 The Road to the Future

Amidst these cries of anguish, Soma Yukihira was the first to get up. "Ugh, I feel so dizzy. I feel like I just went to a weird place. Huh, what's wrong with you guys?"

Seeing the strange looks from his classmates and glancing at the person lying next to him, he was puzzled for a moment. Then, realizing he still had something in his mouth, he chewed it. "Strange, why is there still something in my mouth? *Thud*"

As he spoke, he lay down again, leaving his classmates speechless. Then, the other three woke up, and after a moment of confusion, they felt something in their mouths. After chewing, they fell to the ground again. After another moment of silence, the classmates took the food out of their mouths, and that was the end of it.

After waking up again, the group gagged and rinsed their mouths several times before finally becoming fully awake. They stared at the bento box with horrified expressions. Soma Yukihira even uttered a curse, "This bento must have been made by you, Senju! This is the worst food I've ever tasted. It's far worse than anything my dad and I have ever made!"

"Don't slander others so easily!" Senju shook her hand helplessly, then pushed the bento box. "This wasn't made by me, but a young girl's heartfelt bento for her beloved."

"What deep-seated hatred do you have between you?" Everyone looked at Ram and Rem. Senju rolled her eyes. "Don't make wild guesses. The creator isn't here. I got it from somewhere else."

"Hahaha," everyone chuckled dryly, while Saiba Seiichiro over there was also quite impressed, "This is truly amazing food. I've never eaten anything so awful before. I felt like I was seeing the Sanzu River just now."

"Hey, Dad, did you see that? So that river is the Sanzu River."

"Hey, Saiba-senpai, you saw it too? I saw it too, so it's not an illusion."

After discussing their experiences, the group realized they had indeed witnessed the illusion; they had almost been killed by a single dish. "What a terrifying dish! Lord Senju, may we examine it?"

"Well, since we're on the research side, let's eat some fruit to restore our taste buds first," Senju said, placing a few grape-sized white fruits on the table as they watched their enthusiastic expressions. Only then did they realize that their mouths were a little numb and their tongues had become insensitive, so they quickly started eating.

"Hmm, I feel much better now," Soma Yukihira said casually while eating the fruit. "By the way, if Erina tries this, she'll know the truth about this dish."

"Uh," everyone looked at Yukihira Soma as if he were scum. They fainted after just one bite of this dish, and he actually wanted to poison others?! Nakiri Azami wanted to punch him even more, "How can Erina taste this dish? With her God Tongue, she wouldn't survive just one bite!"

"Erina absolutely cannot try this kind of dish! I will protect Erina from your clutches!" Asahi Saiba looked at Soma Yukihira seriously, while Soma Yukihira looked bewildered. "If you don't want to try it, then don't try it. Why are you all so agitated? It's really inexplicable."

"Oh dear, Soma is still a child," Seiichiro Saiba shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, his son's emotional intelligence hadn't been developed yet. Asahi Saiba boldly said, "I like Erina. She's mine now, and I'll never let your cooking bother her!"

"Oh~" Several students exclaimed in surprise.

A strange cry escaped his lips, seemingly quite surprised by the man's audacity. Azami Nakiri, standing nearby, looked extremely displeased; this guy actually wanted to kidnap his daughter? Soma Yukihira, equally unyielding, declared, "I need Erina too, and I absolutely won't give her to you!"

"Oh~" The shouts from the surrounding classmates puzzled Soma Yukihira. The God Tongue was very important in the game of Go, as it could quickly point out the flaws in his dishes, and he absolutely couldn't let others have it!

"Hmph," Cai Bo Chaoyang sneered. It was one thing for his master's son to lack strength, but he also didn't know when to back down. He lost interest for a moment. "Well then, Master, see you the day after tomorrow. Let's fight with all our might then!"

“Alright,” Saiba Seiichiro said with a smile, looking at his arrogant disciple with great pleasure. “However, this victory won’t be yours.”

"Is that so, Master? We'll see who wins then. I'm going to surpass you this time!" Saiba Asahi said, waving his hand and leaving. Everyone was stunned for a moment before Yukihira Soma jumped up, "Hey, hey, Dad, you're going to have a food battle with him? What's going on? I've never heard of this before!"

"Huh, Saiba-senpai, didn't you tell him?" Nakiri Azami was quite surprised; he thought Saiba Seiichiro had told Yukihira Soma everything. Saiba Seiichiro shook his head, "It's too early to tell Soma now..."

"Wait, what do you mean 'too early'? I won't ask about the fact that your original surname was Saiba, but now you're going to have a food battle with the new commander-in-chief? At least tell me some information!" Yukihira Soma shouted unhappily from the side, "What's all this secrecy about?"

“Is that so?” Saiba Seiichiro pondered for a moment, then looked at Yukihira Soma seriously. “Then I’ll tell you, Soma. I might go to a new world to explore the path of cooking, which is why I’m having a food battle with him.”

"Huh?" Soma Yukihira looked bewildered. Seiichiro Saiba continued to explain what had happened in the past few days, about Asahi Saiba's true identity, and about the invitation ticket to another world. "I will definitely win this time, so, Soma, we may never have the chance to meet again. But I don't regret it. I have reached the end of my culinary journey in this world."

"I see," Soma Yukihira said, looking down for a moment before smiling. "Dad, you guys go ahead. I'll definitely catch up. Even if it's another world, I'll find a way to catch up."

“Is that so? But don’t be too slow, we won’t wait for you,” Saiba Seiichiro said, then looked at Senju. “Lord Senju, when my son reaches a certain level, I hope you can give him an invitation.”

"Well, this matter," Senju, who had been lazily watching the show, paused for a moment, looking at the father and son with their confident smiles. They had no doubt that they could reach the pinnacle of cooking. "You two are really confident. Alright, here's one for you, but there's a limit."

As she spoke, Senju pulled out an envelope. "When you feel that your cooking skills surpass Seiichiro's, open this envelope, and you'll have a simulated food battle. If you win, you'll open the door to a new world; if you lose, you'll get nothing. Of course, you only get one chance."

Chapter 1570 Super Cooking

"Although I don't know what the new world is, I'll be there soon!" Soma Yukihira said confidently to his father as he took the envelope Senju threw to him. Seiichiro Saiba smiled slightly, "We won't wait for you, you know. If you're too slow, you won't even be able to catch a glimpse of your shadow."

"Ahem, Seiichiro, you need to win that food battle first before you can go to the New World. It's too early to talk about that now," Senju reminded him from the side. Seiichiro readily agreed, "That's true. I need to prepare properly too. It would be too embarrassing if I lost. By the way, little girl, can I borrow your room for the next couple of days?"

Saiba Seiichiro naturally asked Tadokoro Megumi, who hesitated, glancing at Ram and Rem, since she hadn't created this space. "Um, that..."

"You can decide for yourself, Megumi," Rem said to Megumi after glancing at Ram. Megumi hesitated a bit. Well, there was nothing she could do. After all, it was a gift from someone else. Even though the other person said she could decide for herself, something still felt off.

Senju, who was watching from the sidelines, saw everything clearly and knew what Ram and Rem were thinking. They really didn't care about this side, so Senju spoke up, "Megumi, say yes to him. It's a good opportunity for us to learn from this world-class chef."

“Yes, in that case, Lord Saiba can use it as you please,” Tadokoro Megumi nodded. Saiba Seiichiro, who was standing next to her, breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had spoken too confidently just now and almost embarrassed himself. He then realized that there was something wrong with his mentality. He seemed to be taking this match too seriously and had lost his composure. “Thank you very much, little girl. I’ll be bothering you for the next two days.”

“Oh, by the way, Tadokoro, I’ve been doing some research here these past few days. I didn’t expect your house to be so big,” Yukihira Soma said, while examining a grain of rice in his bento box. Tadokoro Megumi nodded in agreement, “Great, it’s all thanks to Ms. Ram and Ms. Rem that your house is so big.”

"Xiaohui, we want some too!" Several other students chimed in, praising the spaciousness and facilities.

Of course, they wanted to join in the fun with the top chefs, and the happiest of them all seemed to be Marui Zenji, who seemed to be muttering something like, "Finally, I don't have to come to my place."

Senju then looked at Ram and Rem, "By the way, what are your plans for the next few days? Are you going to continue studying?"

“No, we’ve learned enough,” Ram shook her head, glanced at Rem beside her, and then looked at Senju. “If it’s alright, Master, we’d like to go home and see our families.”

“That’s fine, nothing will happen here,” Senju nodded. He couldn’t go back, of course. Senju wasn’t here to protect Yuri and the others, but to protect the world from being ruined by them. “When you get home, please give my regards to your families.”

“Well, Master, let’s go back first,” Ram nodded, then walked into the hole opened by Senju with Rem. Senju then closed the hole. “Family, it’s probably because of the influence of the world we just visited. I wonder if it will have any impact on that world? Oh well, we didn’t do anything bad anyway.”

Looking at the group of people studying cooking, Senju shook his head and appeared outside the Polar Star Dormitory. He still wasn't used to that research atmosphere. Speaking of which, was there anyone in his family who particularly liked studying cooking? After thinking for a while, Senju came to the conclusion that there were quite a few people who liked to eat.

Senju was quite frustrated upon reaching this conclusion. However, when he thought about how the best chef in his world was actually the Sword Saint, he was even more speechless. He didn't have any proper chef companions in his world. Of course, there were many great chefs in Senju's world, but Senju didn't consider them as partners.

After walking a few steps, Senju remembered that there was someone at home who also liked to study cooking, although his skill level wasn't very high. That person was William. As a prospective hero, he had studied cookbooks and even successfully made a cake based on the book, but he was still far from being as good as the chefs here.

"Never mind," Senju shook his head, lost in thought. In the end, not having a professional chef wouldn't affect his clan. After walking for a while, Senju noticed two people in front of him. "Lord Senju, we have finished collecting information on the other side."

"You did a quick job," Senju nodded, looking at the tablet Wilhelm was holding, and took it from him. "You guys continue gathering intelligence, and let me know as soon as you find anything."

"Yes, Lord Senju." The two people in front of him disappeared in a flash. Senju then looked at the data on the tablet. There was a lot of data on it, including not only the information of the dark chefs, but also the information of the WGO members here.

Moreover, each person's information is extremely detailed, including not only their name, place of origin, and photos, but also what they have recently done, what kind of cooking they are good at, etc. It can even view their holographic projections, magical auras, genetic maps, and mental fluctuations. With this information, it is even possible to construct clones that are completely identical to the original.

"The investigation went a little too far," Senju could only mutter as he looked at the extremely comprehensive information. After flipping through it for a while, Senju learned a lot. Saiba Asahi was the leader of the Dark Cuisine world, and had a bunch of bizarre and grotesque Dark Chefs under his command.

Of course, those who call themselves "Midnight Chefs" are chefs active in the underground, making dishes for the mafia, criminal groups, etc. They are chefs who pursue delicious food even if it means breaking the law. Many of them are chefs with superpowers. Poisonous dishes, high-priced ingredients, and blood dishes are common. Others include military dishes, brutal dishes, circus dishes, and other inexplicable cooking methods.

Senju was at a loss for words when it came to this. In short, the superpowers were just too bizarre, and using them all in cooking was even more bizarre. Senju had brought the superpowers from Academy City here. Just think about those original LV5s; the way they used their superpowers to cook was absolutely terrifying.

Speaking of which, Accelerator's ability is perfect for kneading dough, and Misaka Mikoto can use electricity instead of an induction cooker. The other characters' abilities and cooking skills are less compatible. By the way, Haru's ability 'temperature-controlled preservation' is very useful for cooking.

Lost in thought, Senju took out her spirit computer and created a virtual space within it, beginning to speculate on the possibilities of 'Culinary Academy City' to pass the time. Speaking of which, among those espers, who is the strongest chef?!

Chapter 1571 Awakening

After playing the game for a while, Senju realized it was getting dark. Looking at the time, he realized he had been playing for several hours. "Wow, time really flies. You guys came back so quickly. Didn't you spend some time with your families?"

Senju turned to look at the two maids behind her. They had only been home for a few hours, and now they were back at work. Rem answered softly, "My sister and I cooked for Mother and Father, and then chatted for a while. Mother and my sisters were a little tired, and Father also told us that Master needs our care, so we came back."

Compared to Rem's light laugh, Ram seemed a bit off. Senju glanced at her and seemed to imagine Ram making her father cry. Her sharp tongue was too much. "Master, it seems our return is necessary. Judging from the time, Master should be resting in a well-equipped room, not playing on his phone in this forest. Today, we must fulfill our duties as maids."

"Uh," Senju was speechless for a moment, then watched as Ram respectfully took away her phone. Then Ram and Rem supported Senju and took a step forward, arriving at everyone's residence.
