"Such an absurd thing?" Hinako Inui clearly understood Senju's words, but she was even more bewildered. With her culinary skills, she had never heard of such a thing. Satoshi Isshiki, standing next to her, helplessly called out, "Senju-sama, the food battle is about to begin."

"Is it about to begin? I'm really looking forward to it," Senju said, reverting to her usual tone. She glanced at Hinako Inui, who seemed to 'understand' what she was laughing about, and then huffed, "What you said just now was half true and half false. Can you guess which part was true?"

"You're bullying me, I'm going to find that child," Hinako Inui muttered, running to Megumi Tadokoro for comfort, while Megumi looked completely bewildered.

But at that moment, a gong sounded on the stage, and a rather ordinary-looking man announced, "The food battle has officially begun!"

As the words fell, Senju saw a powerful aura rising from the two contestants already standing on it. Culinary laws also began to flow from the surrounding buildings, slowly empowering the two of them. Their mental and physical strength increased significantly.

"It seems this is the 'holy land' of this world," Senju muttered to himself. The holy land he referred to was actually the place where the world's consciousness could be most easily drawn in, such as Konoha Village in Naruto, Seireitei in Bleach, One Piece, and so on.

However, the world consciousness has not yet descended. As the two on stage began to cook, the world's attention grew. Senju understood that only when the 'battle' here reached its peak and the culinary skills of both contestants surpassed the level of ordinary people would the world consciousness descend and bring blessings to the winner.

Chapter 1590 Surpassing This World

"It's finally starting! The battle between the world's strongest chefs. It's a pity Shinomiya isn't here." As the two on stage officially began cooking, Hinako Inui, who had been clinging to Megumi for comfort, sat up straight and started watching the competition intently. Megumi next to her breathed a sigh of relief and then also started watching intently.

The two people on stage also brought out their prepared ingredients. Various exotic ingredients shimmered under the moonlight and lamplight, and the seemingly pulsating chunks of meat emitted a dazzling light.

Exuding a powerful aura, bright specks of light floated around the bottles of ingredients, leaving the graduates from outside the school utterly astonished. "What kind of ingredients are those?" they asked.

“That’s the flesh of the Frost White Dragon, the dust of the Elf Mother Tree, and the water of the Fountain of Wishes…” Xiaohui introduced softly, while Qian Hinako looked at her in surprise, “You know what those are? Tell me about them.”

What started as a magical competition suddenly turned into a nightmare for everyone. The seemingly gentle and handsome Saiba Asahi pulled out a chainsaw and placed something resembling a hose around his neck, though the hose had dropper-like ends. He then used these four 'kitchen utensils'—an ordinary kitchen knife in one hand and a Thousand Hands-forged kitchen knife in the other—to start cooking.

Senju felt that Saiba Asahi's appearance was a bit strange. He didn't look like a chef, but rather like a four-sword style swordsman. Although it looked messy, he used it with ease. The only shortcoming was that he still couldn't 'control' Senju's kitchen knife! Looking at the other side, Saiba Seiichiro was just using an extremely ordinary kitchen knife to process the ingredients, but the effect was no less than his opponent's.

As the two moved, the world's consciousness began to swirl around them, and then two streams of primal power descended, surrounding them. Every movement they made was amplified and transmitted to everyone present.

Time flew by as everyone watched intently. Soon, Cai Bo Chaoyang finished his creation: a few slices of meat on a plate, accompanied by some fruit. But unlike normal dishes, this one not only emitted an enticingly delicious aroma but also shone brightly, with many constantly moving specks of light floating on top, which even moonlight and lamplight couldn't obscure. "Please enjoy, everyone, the dance of dragons and spirits!"

Even the three well-traveled gourmets were dumbfounded. They had never seen such beautiful and tempting dishes before. Just looking at them, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Their long-dormant hearts for food were now beating wildly again!

Erina below stared wide-eyed, but Senju shook his head. If Erina were to taste this dish, her head would be instantly burned out. An excessive amount of deliciousness would have a devastating impact on her!

Several gourmets first tentatively forked a piece of meat and put it in their mouths, but then their eyes lit up and they quickly put the meat into their mouths. Soon the plate was empty, and then, to everyone's horror, the three judges ate the plate!

The chefs around were dumbfounded. They actually ate the plates! It was supposed to be an adjective, but it had become a fact. Were these three alright?!

However, the three gourmets felt perfectly fine, and were even filled with mysterious power. They not only wanted to eat more plates, but also wanted to gnaw on a table. With a "whoosh~", their shirts burst open, revealing beautiful, streamlined bodies that seemed to have been through countless trials.

"How do you all feel?" Saiba Asahi asked, and the three on the other side immediately quieted down, nodding repeatedly. "Your cooking is the best. We think we don't need to try his food. You are the winner!"

As he was about to press the button, Cai Bo Chaoyang glared at him and said, "You bastard, do you think I have to resort to despicable means to win? This is my teacher, so have a good taste before you decide!"

"Oh my, Asahi, it seems your cooking is quite impressive. Let me try it later," Saiba Seiichiro said with a smile. His dish was finished; it was a bowl of rice, but it was quite elaborate, containing all sorts of ingredients, making it resemble a blue planet. "Please enjoy, everyone. It surpasses this world!"

The three who had just been completely obedient to Cai Bo Chaoyang were now unable to take their eyes off the food. Just smelling it made them feel a sense of awe. This bowl of rice felt like it contained their own Earth! And they were outside of Earth, able to control this planet with one hand.

This feeling of control and being controlled kept alternating. When they regained consciousness, they found themselves unconsciously putting food in their mouths. Then, they were moved by the sensations of touch and taste. The world was so beautiful! They seemed to be wandering all over the world, and finally clearly saw the Earth, the source of humanity and all living things. Tears slowly welled up in their eyes. "Mother..."

"Uh," Senju watched speechlessly from the side. This dish really did resonate with the world's consciousness. However, it seemed to be sad, or it seemed to be bidding farewell, or it seemed to be a mother seeing her child go away to study. I never thought that the emotions in the dish could reach this level!

Unfortunately, that's how it ended. The world's consciousness didn't possess them. It seems it kept its promise. This left Senju speechless. Even it kept its promise; it seemed beneath him to destroy it. Wouldn't it have been better if the other party had gone back on its word first? It's usually so short-tempered! Always ready to self-destruct!

After silently finishing their meal, the three gourmets respectfully placed their spoons down. Although their clothes were torn and ripped, it seemed as if the shadow of their mother's knitted garments lingered on them. They wiped away tears, exchanged glances, nodded, and then pressed the button.

Asahi Saiba received 0 votes, while Seiichiro Saiba received 3 votes, making it 3-0. Asahi Saiba suffered a complete defeat.

"How could this be? Master is truly worthy of being called Master. It's another defeat for me, but it won't be long," Saiba Asahi stared blankly at the score on the screen. Saiba Seiichiro, who was beside him, also brought over a bowl. "Asahi, you should try this too. Consider it my final gift. I hope you can learn something from it."

"Finally, where are you going? Well then, teacher, please try my work too," After a slight moment of annoyance, Cai Bo Chaoyang regained his confidence and, seeing the teacher holding the bowl, returned the favor with a plate.

Chapter 1591 Leaving

The two on stage were enjoying each other's food, while the people below the stage clapped and stood up. The most excited were Azami Nakiri and Erina Nakiri. Of course, Azami Nakiri remained calm on the surface, while Erina's eyes were shining, and she clapped her hands loudly, "As expected, the winner is Lord Saiba!"

Senju, watching from the sidelines, was speechless. This father and daughter were clearly sworn enemies, yet they both fell in love with the same person. Could this be the reason they fell out? It seemed impossible. However, looking at the excited Erina, Senju wondered, could she be the protagonist's stepmother in the future? But according to the usual plot, that seemed unlikely.

Senju was lost in his own thoughts, while the two on the stage reacted quite differently. Saiba Asahi was indeed shaken, but the meal hadn't completely won him over. Saiba Seiichiro, on the other hand, loudly praised his disciple's cooking, but that was about it. The two were praising each other, but in reality, they were just acknowledging that the other's cooking was pretty good.

"Congratulations, Saiba-senpai! Now we can set off together," Azami Nakiri said with a smile as he stepped forward to congratulate Saiba Seiichiro. He didn't think Saiba Seiichiro would fail at all. He had arranged everything perfectly here. As for the property, Erina would automatically inherit it once he left.

"Lord Saiba, congratulations on your victory!" Erina excitedly ran forward, completely ignoring Azami Nakiri standing next to her. Then Gintoki Dojima came over to congratulate her, while no one paid any attention to Saiba Asahi.

"Aren't you going up?" Senju glanced at Isshiki Satoshi, who shook his head with a smile. "This is indeed a spectacular food battle. The two of you are far better than me. I have nothing to say if I go up. I'll just watch from here."

"Really? You seem quite calm," Senju said casually, then turned to look at Reinhard. "Reinhard, what do you think of their cooking?"

"It's truly breathtaking to have made such a wonderful dish," he said calmly, maintaining his gentle smile. "Compared to the two of you, my chances of winning are only a tiny fraction."

"Is that so? That's good." Senju glanced at his expression and turned back. It seemed Reinhard was confident, just a little bit? If she believed him, she'd be in for a world of trouble. On the stage, Azami Nakiri and Seiichiro Saiba looked over. Senju stood up as well. "The prize-seekers are here. I'm going over there."

"The prize?" It was Inui Hinako who came over and asked this question. Senju nodded. "That's right. I was the one who arranged this food battle. Hmm? Right, it seems that the two sides of the food battle had some kind of agreement. Hmm, I've forgotten. Ah, right, it was for the position of the headmaster. Now, I can arrange the position of the headmaster."

As she spoke, Qian Shou looked at the people around her and said, "How about you become the new commander-in-chief, Xiao Hui?"

Tadokoro Megumi shook her head frantically, and Isshiki Satoshi was speechless for a moment, rubbing his forehead. "Senju-sama, please don't make things difficult for Megumi. This position is not suitable for her."

“That makes sense,” Senju nodded, and Tadokoro Megumi breathed a sigh of relief. Then Senju looked at Isshiki Satoshi, who quickly shook his head, “I can’t do it either. Why don’t we let the old commander continue to serve as commander?”

“That won’t do. I’ve already retired. How can I go back to the top?” Senzaemon Nakiri shook his head. “Besides, there’s still the Council of Ten Heroes. The school can operate without problems. We can just elect one as the new headmaster.”

"Well, hehe," Isshiki Satoshi chuckled and shook his head. Everyone was busy studying cooking techniques; who had time to handle political affairs? Senju shook her head. "Never mind, you guys can discuss it slowly. I'll go upstairs first."

As she spoke, Senju had already moved onto the stage. The people on the stage were quite surprised. Senju then took out a golden envelope and handed it to Saiba Seiichiro. "Here, this is the ticket we agreed on. Just tear open the envelope and you can use it. There are people over there to help you."

"Thank you," Saiba Seiichiro said with a smile as he took the money, then looked at Nakiri Azami beside him. "Nakamura, are you ready?"

“Ready, senpai,” Azami Nakiri smiled and nodded, then Seiichiro put his kitchen knife into the box and nodded again. “Well then, let’s go.”

"Saiba, where are you going? Aren't you going to get together?" Dojima Gin was quite surprised. Saiba Seiichiro shook his head. "Maybe next time, Gin. I'm going to pursue a new culinary art."

As he spoke, he tore open the envelope, and Azami Nakiri beside him did the same. "Then goodbye, my daughter. Struggle to your heart's content in this mortal world. We are going to the realm of the gods."

After saying that, the two disappeared with a flash of light, leaving the others dumbfounded.

"Where are they?" Then they looked at Senju, "Who are you? Where did they go?"

"They've gone to another world," Senju said casually, then looked at Saiba Asahi over there. "According to the agreement, the position of Commander-in-Chief should be relinquished, right?"

"They... went to another world?" Saiba Asahi paused for a moment, then looked at Senju. "What do I need to do if I want to go there?"

"You? You can't do it," Senju shook her head slightly. Asahi looked quite unconvinced, but Senju said directly, "Your culinary skills are built upon the foundation of many chefs, but once you leave here, the bricks that construct your culinary tower will disappear, and the entire tower will collapse. At that time..."

Senju shrugged slightly, conveying her meaning. Saiba Asahi clenched his fist as well. "Because of this, a sandcastle, just like that, disappeared after being washed away by the sea? But I!"

Cai Bo Chaoyang bit his lip until it bled, then suddenly looked up at Senju, "Could you remove the bricks from my body from the other chefs?"

“No,” Senju shook his head slightly, his eyes shining as he looked at Saiba Asahi. A phantom image immediately appeared on his body, covered with countless kitchen utensils. “Those have been completely replicated by your soul. If you erase them, you’ll only become an idiot. You don’t want that outcome, do you?”

"Idiot, huh? I really am an idiot," Saiba Asahi seemed to have gone mad. Senju snapped her fingers lightly, and he passed out. However, a mature woman in military uniform rushed out from the side and hugged Saiba Asahi. "Boss, what's wrong with you?"

"He's fine. I erased his memory of what happened just now," Senju shook her head slightly, glancing at Reinhard in the distance. "By the way, about tomorrow's Food War?"

Chapter 1592 The New Commander

"That's a question for Mr. Suzuki, but I don't really care," Reinhard said with a smile. Although he had been practicing his cooking skills diligently these past few days, he didn't really consider the Food Wars to be anything sacred or important. However, even so, he would still keep his promise if the other party didn't object.

“Is that so?” Senju snapped his fingers, and Saibo Asahi also woke up. He looked at the woman beside him with a puzzled expression, then he felt a little sad. He remembered that he had lost and his master had left. “Since we’ve lost, then Sachi, let’s go too.”

"Wait, what about tomorrow's food battle?" Senju asked from the side. Saiba Asahi waved his hand dismissively, "I don't have time to deal with these lowly minions right now. I'll just admit defeat."

Ignoring the kitchen utensils scattered on the ground, Cai Bo Chaoyang casually left. Sha Qi picked up the chainsaw from the ground and chased after them. Qian Shou shook his head helplessly. The knife he had made flew over, and with just a touch, it emitted a strange aura. "Not bad, not bad, you've copied all of his cooking skills. Now, you can call it the Eternal Spirit Knife. It's a legendary kitchen utensil that can elevate a person's cooking skills to the extreme."

After saying that, Senju waved his hand to the side, and the knife flew into Ruizan's hand. "Take this and play with it, but don't use it in the food war, or you'll be very embarrassed."

"Thank you, sir." After receiving the kitchen knife, Ruishan felt his cooking skills improving rapidly. Many things he didn't understand before suddenly became clear to him, and he had many ingenious ideas. He really wanted to go to the kitchen and cook a big meal!

The others looked on with some confusion, until finally Dojima Gin stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? What do you mean by going to another world?"

"Well, I originally came here to visit, no, to participate in a food war. Another world, well, you can think of it as another planet," Senju said casually, but Dojima Gin didn't seem very satisfied. Then Senju took out a piece of paper and showed it to him. "According to this, I'm probably the new commander-in-chief, but I'm not really willing to accept it. How about you guys choose one?"

"The Ten Heroes' appointment letter, huh? But the timeline," Dojima Gin paused for a moment, then noticed the blind spot, "Your letter is invalid. It was issued before that one, and its original validity has been overturned by the new appointment letter."

"Is that so?" Senju shook her head helplessly, then looked at the old commander-in-chief who was walking over. "Commander-in-Chief Nakiri, why don't you continue in your position? That would save everyone trouble."

“I am too old and frail to take on important responsibilities,” Nakiri Senzaemon waved his hand and looked at Senju. “I think Reinhard’s current culinary skills are enough to make him the new commander-in-chief.”

"How is this possible?" Senju shook his head repeatedly, after all, Reinhard was also shaking his head. "He is a Sword Saint who has reached the Star Breaker level. It's a waste for him to be the principal of this small academy. A newcomer would be better off."

Senju looked around at the others, including Tsukasa Eishi with a wry smile who was thinking, "Don't choose me," Kobayashi Rindou who thought, "This looks interesting. I wonder who the new commander-in-chief is. Maybe I should let Shishi take over," and Erina who was completely in a daze, wondering, "Where did Saiba-sama go?"

The other members of the Elite Ten were also lost in thought, 'Let this end quickly. I've finally witnessed a superb food battle; I need to go back and study it.'

Then Senju looked at the graduates. Hinako Inui wondered, 'Another world? Could it be a magical world where they can stay young forever? Is it some kind of elixir or magical herb?'

Kikuchi Sonoka: "Hurry up and send someone to be the commander-in-chief! Or Dojima-senpai would be a good choice too!"

Dojima Gin: 'Why doesn't the Commander-in-Chief want to come back? Does he want to train new talent? Is he also going to that new world? But this Reinhard doesn't seem like a chef, and what's with the Star-Level Breakthrough? But right now, the best outcome is for Miss Erina!'

Thinking this, Dojima Gin spoke up, "Since the Commander-in-Chief is unwilling to continue in his position, I recommend Ms. Erina to become the new Commander-in-Chief."

“I agree/agree,” a group of people nodded haphazardly. In short, as long as it was dealt with quickly, it didn’t matter who the commander-in-chief was. Senju thought for a moment and then nodded, “Alright then, Erina will be the new commander-in-chief. Nakiri, um, that surname, former commander-in-chief, you will be in charge of this matter.”

“Leave it to me,” Senzaemon Nakiri nodded, looking at his granddaughter who was still standing there in a daze, “Erina…”

"Lord Senju, what should we do with those people from the Central Gourmet Organization? Should we continue to merge them into the school?" Tsukasa Eishi asked cautiously. Senju nodded, "Let's continue according to the original plan. As for Erina, there shouldn't be any problems."

Then Senju glanced at Ruizan. Originally, Senju wanted to make him the new commander-in-chief, since he had the strongest management skills among the Ten Heroes. Unfortunately, after obtaining the 'Eternal Spirit Blade', Ruizan became obsessed with cooking.

“Now that the problem is solved, let’s disperse,” Senju said, walking towards the stove where the two had been. Everyone was a little stunned, since there was no food left there.

However, when Senju snapped his fingers, another dish and a bowl of rice appeared. Senju analyzed it slightly and said that the two dishes contained strong emotions, and the aroma, taste, cooking time, combination, and nutrition were all excellent. The people next to him couldn't help but swallow.

"Is that all?" Senju shook his head in disappointment. On one hand, he was instinctively trying to project an image of a master to everyone; on the other hand, although these two dishes were impressive, they were still far from the top-notch dishes that Senju had ever eaten. In Senju's eyes, these were about the same as what the other students had made. "You can eat if you want, I'll be leaving now."

"Oh, right, you guys take Megumi home," Senju said to the Wilhelms as she disappeared. The couple nodded and then vanished with Megumi. Well, nobody was paying attention now; everyone's attention was on those two dishes.

"Let this old man go first!" Senzaemon Nakiri stepped forward and scooped up a spoonful. A ripping sound followed as his clothes tore off and fell to the ground. The old man, still sprawled in a muscular pose, exclaimed, "Oh, oh, oh, this is the ultimate cuisine!"

"Let me have a taste!" The people around completely ignored the naked commander and rushed forward to grab it. At this moment, Erina also woke up and stared ahead with twitching eyes. Am I dreaming? Just now, Lord Saiba disappeared, and now Grandpa is posing naked, and those Elite Ten are fighting over it. No, that's Lord Saiba's food! Put it down and let me have it!

Chapter 1593 Scientific Proportioning

Ignoring the people scrambling for food, Senju had already arrived in the air. With a wave of his hand, two dishes appeared before him. Saiba Asahi's dish was one thing, but Saiba Seiichiro's dish was even brighter, almost like moonlight. "It actually succeeded? A glowing dish. It's really a terrifying thing. I wonder how far it can go over there."

"What a pity, this Saiba is also very strong," Senju said, looking at the car driving below. Inside was Saiba Asahi, who was lost in thought and reminiscing. The story was about his happy childhood learning to cook from Saiba Seiichiro, but then it turned into his understanding of dark cuisine, joining the dark cuisine, and becoming the leader of those dark chefs.

Lost in thought, Saiba Asahi didn't realize the car was no longer on the normal road. Well, the driver didn't notice either, since it was nighttime. So they drove all the way to the fake Food Wars world created by Senju. By the way, the real and fake Saiba Asahi have the exact same bank account and phone number. I wonder what kind of sparks will fly when they meet.

After seeing everyone off, Senju casually daydreamed and found it quite amusing. She wondered which was stronger, the one who successfully killed their master or the one who failed. After thinking for a while, Senju returned to the Polar Star Dormitory. Meanwhile, several people had gone missing in this world.

Tadokoro Megumi has returned and is being questioned by Yukihira Soma about the food battle. Tadokoro Megumi is explaining carefully, and the surrounding classmates are listening attentively, imagining the intensity of the food battle.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Senju went back to her room to play on her phone. Come to think of it, of all the dormitories around here, hers was the smallest. After playing for a while, Senju went to sleep. The discussion outside hadn't stopped yet. Yukihira Soma knew that after his father disappeared, he spent the whole night in the kitchen trying to recreate the dish based on Tadokoro Megumi's account.
