The story of Shokugeki begins when Alice picks him up and brings him home

On the way home, Bai Yuan looked at Alice Nakiri who was walking beside him with her head down and not speaking for a long time, and asked meaningfully.

"I don't think you've gone too far. I even feel relieved. After all, it was the other party who initiated the trouble, and he was the one who targeted us first."

Shaking her head, Nakiri Alice was never a saint. Naturally, she would not feel sympathy for a guy who tried to stir up trouble but ended up getting slapped in the face.

"Then why do you keep your head down? You don't look very happy."

Bai Yuan's strength is to ask whatever he wants. He knows very well that women's hearts are as unpredictable as the sea, so he won't make any assumptions.

"I just felt that I was ridiculous. After watching your match today, I realized your true strength and how arrogant I was before..."

Alice Nakiri lowered her head again as she spoke, her voice becoming smaller and smaller. She originally came out to buy sea bream for a knife skills competition, but now...

"Compared to others of the same age, your ability is already quite good. There's no need to underestimate yourself."

Bai Yuan said realistically that after six years of training, Alice Nakiri's level was not far from the special grade.

As long as you calm down and settle down for another two years, passing the special assessment will not be a difficult task.

"But... I still want to become stronger. I want to help you more, Brother Bai Yuan."

Alice Nakiri raised her head, the look in her eyes was extremely complicated and a little obscure, but Bai Yuan did not notice.

"You can already help me a lot now. At least you can handle 50% of the dishes I make independently."

"really?"

"Really, you have to believe in your own strength!"

Bai Yuan patted Alice Nakiri's head, and his voice was much gentler than usual.

Suppress the other party when he is arrogant and encourage him when he is frustrated. Only in this way can he grow healthily. This is also his most basic quality as a teacher.

"But we still have to continue the competition after we get back. After all, we've already bought the sea bream. This time, I'll let you see what the ultimate knife skills are!"

"What is the chef going to cook?"

Alice Nakiri raised her head and asked expectantly.

Since she knew she was going to lose, she felt relieved.

"Technically, it should be considered sashimi."

"Sashimi? It's surprisingly ordinary. Although this dish really shows the knife skills, can't ordinary chefs make it?"

"It's still a little different. You'll know when the time comes."

Bai Yuan smiled mysteriously. If there was anything that best demonstrated his knife skills, it would undoubtedly be the fiercely icy sea bream dish, but the price was that one of the chef's hands was frostbitten.

When a chef's skills reach perfection, even a piece of cloth will confuse the touch of his hands. Unless he holds the knife with his bare hands, he will never be able to fully display his superb knife skills.

In this way, the amazing coldness of the Beichen Tianlang Blade will invade the chef's hands, causing frostbite and necrosis if not careful, so it is also called a two-ended knife.

This knife even requires the chef to sacrifice his right hand, which is regarded as his life, to cut the ingredients...

However, this is not a problem for him because he has super touch and can exert 99% of its power even if wrapped in cloth.

As for exerting 100% of his strength, please, it's just an educational competition. How could he risk his future as a chef?

He is a normal person, not a hot-blooded idiot!

"Mr. Shirabuchi, Ms. Nakiri, we meet again."

Soon, the two walked back to the Nakiri family's house. The fish shop owner, Ange, arrived first, wearing a delivery uniform with the store's name printed on it, and was meeting Jonah.

"Has the snapper been sent in yet?"

After nodding to the fish shop owner Ange, Bai Yuan turned his gaze to Jonah and asked about the sea bream, which was the most important ingredient for lunch.

"Well, he is currently being cared for by Mr. Kurokiba and is being placed in the backyard of the villa."

"It's good that it's delivered. We will go home and prepare first. When you are done, we will meet in the hall and serve as the referee for this competition."

"clear."

After a brief explanation, Shirabuchi and Nakiri Alice entered the villa together.

Alice went upstairs to change her clothes, while he came to the underground ice room that Leonora Nakiri had specially opened for him, where two Beichen Tianlang Blades were stored.

He polished all of this bit by bit!

I was originally worried about encountering a tough opponent and wanted to use it at that time, but it’s not a loss to use a knife to present top-notch deliciousness.

Thinking of the reactions of Alice Nakiri and the others later, Bai Yuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and then he carefully put the Beichen Sirius Blade into the ice scabbard next to him.

Although this knife is very powerful, its practical use limit is very short, and it cannot be retracted after the blade is out. Forcibly retracting it will only result in a large loss of sharpness.

When it is unsheathed for the second time, the cutting effect is not as good as that of an ordinary kitchen knife!

"Master, the sea bream is ready, and we can start the competition anytime."

"I see."

Bai Yuan carried the Beichen Sirius Blade on his back and walked firmly towards the top of the basement. Then he saw Alice, who was neatly dressed and waiting for him.

Chapter 32 Seven Star Sword

"It seems you are well prepared."

The girl was wearing a chef's uniform, looking smart and capable. At this moment, she was looking at him with sharp eyes, her eyes burning with surging fighting spirit.

She had just figured it out, and Bai Yuan didn't want to see her depressed.

Therefore, even if it is a match she is bound to lose, she will use all her strength to show her master how strong she is now!

"I am ready!"

Alice Nakiri said confidently, her whole spirit lifted. Bai Yuan looked at her and finally nodded with satisfaction.

This is what his apprentice should be like!

"It's really exciting. What kind of food does Bai Yuan plan to cook?"

Following Alice Nakiri into the living room, a familiar voice reached my ears.

Leonora Nakiri had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw him coming, she immediately stood up and walked forward excitedly, the joy in her eyes almost jumping out.

And what is about to jump out is also under the extremely loose clothes...

"See no evil."

Bai Yuan said in his heart and raised his eyes upwards a little. Leonora Nakiri really followed her will at home and didn't treat him as a man at all.

It was okay before, after all, he was young then, but now he is a real adult, if he continues like this, he will probably make a mistake!

"You'll know in a moment, let me keep you in suspense for now."

Avoiding Leonora Nakiri's sight, Bai Yuan spoke in a mysterious tone, which aroused great expectations.

"Well, you're still being mysterious and hiding things from me. Brother Bai Yuan is really mean!"

Seeing that Bai Yuan was unwilling to tell her, Leonora Nakiri's cheeks bulged visibly, then she hummed softly and returned to her original position.

Looking at Leonora Nakiri who behaved like a young girl, Bai Yuan smiled helplessly. Time really had not left any trace on her face. She looked the same as when they first met, and there was nothing weird about her actions.

No wonder they say money can make a woman in her 30s look like a young girl. Coupled with her perfect figure, the contrast is extreme!

"Did you see anything?"

Bai Yuan walked to the fish box, where two plump sea breams were swimming happily, looking very energetic.

Kurokiba Ryo watched from the side, his eyes fixed, as if he was constructing how to cook them. He stood up only when he saw Bai Yuan arriving.

"The quality of sea bream is really good this season. I'll ask the store to get some in later and see if I can develop dishes that can be used by advanced chefs."

Kurokiba Ryo pinched his chin, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to Bai Yuan.

"You'd better think about it first. You can't go far without a solid foundation. Although the special chef assessment does not limit the registration of chefs of all levels, you need to pay a high registration fee, which will not be refunded regardless of whether you pass the assessment or not."

"It's too troublesome to take the first-class chef assessment. It's better to take the special-class assessment directly. After all, even if you become a first-class chef, you will eventually move towards the special-class."

Kurokiba Ryo said in a deep voice, "Now that Alice Nakiri has become a top-notch chef, if you want to surpass her, you can only go one step further and become a top-notch chef!"

"Just think it over carefully. Although the special grade is only the minimum threshold to become a senior chef, it is not as simple as you think."

Seeing Kurokiba Ryo's firm attitude, Bai Yuan didn't say anything more. No matter what, this was the other party's choice and he couldn't interfere.

The reason why he said these two sentences is because we have been together for a few years and have developed some feelings for each other. He is a person who cherishes old times.

"You choose first."

At this moment, Alice Nakiri also came over and stood beside him without saying a word, but her eyes showed an eager look.

"Then I want this one. It looks stronger and more energetic."

As if she had been waiting for Shirabuchi to say this, Alice Nakiri pointed at one of the more lively sea breams and walked over with a fish stick in hand.

She did not have Bai Yuan's strength, so she needed to proceed step by step. Fortunately, she had received special training in handling live poultry before. Although she had not killed a live fish for several months, she was not unfamiliar with the handling of the fish.

As for Bai Yuan, he was not in a hurry to fish out the sea bream at this moment. Instead, he took out a seven-star knife from the kitchen and placed it in a row on the cooking table.

There are naturally seven so-called Seven Star Knives, which correspond to the seven star positions in the sky. Specifically, they are divided into: Pojun Knife, Lianzhen Knife, Lucun Knife, Wenqu Knife, Jumen Knife, Wuqu Knife and Tanlang Knife.

I touched each knife lightly with my fingers, as if greeting my closest old friends, and felt their coolness carefully.

The next moment, Bai Yuan moved, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, even Alice Nakiri, who had just killed the fish and was about to proceed to the next step!

Bai Yuan was seen taking the live sea bream out of the water, placing it on the chopping board, letting it flap and splash water as if he didn't notice anything.

Suddenly, his body moved like a gust of wind and rain, and the "Po Jun" in the Seven-Star Sword took the lead in attacking. It cut through the air and landed accurately on the top of the sea bream's head, instantly sealing its vitality but not damaging its meat at all.

Then, "Lian Zhen" danced lightly, like the Weaver Girl weaving between clouds and brocade, delicately moving between the fish bones and fish meat, removing those tiny bone spurs one by one. The technique was so exquisite that it was breathtaking!

The body of the sea bream, under this gentle knife technique, still maintains its perfect shape, as if it has been given new life.

Then, "Wenqu" came on stage. It was neither hurried nor slow, and each stroke contained endless rhythm and beauty. The fish scales flashed and splashed under the knife light, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

Finally, "Ju Men" came out and divided the meat of the sea bream into pieces of different sizes according to parts, and placed them neatly on the chopping board.

In just less than two minutes, Bai Yuan turned a lively sea bream into pieces of fish meat that could be used directly.

"So fast! What's this trick?"

Alice Nakiri murmured to herself. If she were to deal with the sea bream in front of her, it would take at least five minutes, which was more than twice as long as Bai Yuan.

"This is not a trick. The most important thing when dealing with sea bream is to be quick and neat. The teacher just chose the most suitable tool to deal with every part of the sea bream. He knows every inch of the sea bream's structure very well!

The most fearful thing when dealing with sea bream is hesitation. Hesitation in your heart will affect your knife skills. A nervous heart and hesitant knife skills will only ruin the whole fish! "

Kurokiba Ryo suppressed his trembling as he explained, looking at Bai Yuan with strange emotions in his eyes, he really wished that he was the one competing with Bai Yuan now!

Now, his blood boiled just by watching!

Bai Yuan's skills were much more powerful than he had imagined, especially when he handled the sea bream just now. His technique was many times more proficient than his!

Even for him, it would take at least four minutes to process a sea bream like this, and he definitely could not do it as smoothly as he did.

As a master at cooking seafood, Kurokiba Ryo could naturally see this, and his respect for Bai Yuan increased a little more.

"Today I will show you what real knife skills are!

Beichen Heavenly Wolf Blade, Arhat Crystal Slash!"

At this moment, Bai Yuan's energy and spirit had reached its peak, and all the energy in his body was flowing towards the Beichen Tianlang Blade behind him.

Beichen Sirius Blade, unsheathed!

Chapter 33: Fierce Ice Fresh Sea Bream Mountain

"What? This is actually a kitchen knife made of ice! How is this possible? In this weather, shouldn't the ice have melted long ago? Not to mention being able to be used as a kitchen knife!"

When he saw the Beichen Tianlang Blade unsheathed and the icy blue blade, shock flashed across Kurokiba Ryo's face. This was the first time he had seen this sword, and the biting coldness emanating from it proved that it was made of ice!
