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

“Most of these people have never even met me, and they’ve only heard about me from others. This kind of fame accumulates quickly, but it also dissipates even faster, and it’s useless.

You, if you have the time to pay attention to this, why not focus more on cooking? That way you would have made brilliant dishes a long time ago."

Looking at Alice Nakiri who was full of excitement, Bai Yuan raised his hand and tapped her head, then spoke seriously.

This guy is too playful. He will divert his attention at the slightest sign of trouble. He really has the mentality of a child.

Even though he has been in Totsuki for a month, his heart still hasn't calmed down. Fortunately, his cooking skills are improving, otherwise he wouldn't have said it so gently.

"Master, please stop reading. Master, please stop reading. I know I was wrong."

Bai Yuan's words made Nakiri Alice take two steps back, cover her head with her hands and pretend to be in pain. Her funny look made Bai Yuan couldn't help laughing.

"You girl..."

“I think what Mr. Bai Yuan said makes sense, and I have always done so.

Hello, Teacher Bai Yuan."

Bai Yuan was just about to say something when a clear female voice sounded not far away. The two looked and saw that the person was none other than Erina Nakiri.

"Good morning, Mr. Bai Yuan."

Next to her, Hisako Arato was holding a pile of documents in her hands.

When she saw Bai Yuan looking at her, her fair cheeks turned visibly red. Then she quickly lowered her head and said hello to him with an evasive look.

Because of the special dark training, whenever she sees Bai Yuan now, she will think of the power of the ruler.

This guy really gets beaten when he makes a mistake!

He has no idea of ​​being gentle and considerate to women!

Or did he enjoy the pain of her being beaten?

However, thanks to this, her cooking skills are now improving at an astonishing rate. After digesting what she learned before, she has reached the upper level of a second-class chef.

However, since she couldn't see her at night, Lady Erina had developed some doubts and would sometimes pretend to ask her casually.

She has been evading me so far, but I don't know how long it will last. I am looking forward to Erina-sama's expression when she finds out that she has become stronger than her!

It must be very interesting!

"Good morning, Erina and Hisako. This is not the place to chat, let's go to the classroom first."

Feeling the gazes of the students around him, Bai Yuan stopped, greeted them with a smile, and then walked towards the classroom.

Seeing this, Erina Nakiri and Hisako Arato immediately followed.

"Wait for me, you guys."

Watching the people gradually going away, Alice Nakiri called out anxiously, trotted forward, and soon stood side by side with them.

"By the way, the midterm exam will be next week. Are you all ready? I heard that many people dropped out of school due to the final exam last year."

On the way to the classroom, Bai Yuan seemed to suddenly think of something. He turned his head and asked Erina Nakiri in a pretended casual tone.

He didn't doubt that Erina Nakiri and the others could get through, but he still wanted to know more information because he had taken a job from Senzaemon Nakiri.

"That kind of assessment is a test of your strength at that stage. As long as you are a second-class chef, you can basically pass it. There is no need for special preparation."

Hearing Bai Yuan's question, Erina Nakiri shrugged indifferently and didn't take it to heart.

"Indeed, and the assessments in recent years have been boring. I remember last year's final assessment was to make a banquet dish according to a recipe, and the last ten people who completed it were expelled."

Shinto Hisako also nodded. For top students like them, the midterm exam was just a formality and there was almost no possibility of failing.

"But compared to the junior division, the senior division is very competitive! There are more than a thousand students, but less than a hundred were promoted to the second grade last year. The elimination rate is as high as 90%!"

As if she had thought of something, Arata Hisako gave additional explanation.

The assessment for the elementary department is more to give students a sense of tension, letting them know that they cannot stop, as if they stop they will fall behind, and they need to become stronger quickly.

The assessment of the senior department is a real competition and elimination! If the ability does not meet the requirements of the college, they will be expelled directly.

No mercy...

"With 90% elimination, there are less than ten people left after two rounds. No wonder there are no senior students in this school. It turns out that they all dropped out."

Alice Nakiri seemed to have heard it for the first time, and then nodded as if she suddenly understood.

At this moment, she finally understood why there were so few senior students in this school. With such an astonishing elimination rate, only the top students could stay!

“Each third-year class has less than 20 students, and even fewer can successfully graduate.

However, every graduate is basically at the level of a first-class chef, and the top ten members can basically become top-class chefs within twenty years."

Erina Nakiri said this, her voice full of pride.

Looking across Japan, there is no other academy that can train chefs with such extraordinary talents like them!

"He must be a top-notch chef from Japan."

Alice Nakiri asked suddenly.

"Of course, Japanese chefs must have taken their exams in Japan. Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Faced with Alice Nakiri's question, Erina Nakiri felt confused. Isn't this matter beyond doubt?

Isn't it a slap in the face of the Japanese Food Research Society that chefs from their own country go to other countries to participate in the top chef assessment?

"That's fine. I've seen the exam questions for Japanese top chefs, and they're not very difficult. If that's the case, then it's reasonable."

Those who can graduate from Totsuki are the elite among the elites, and with twenty years of experience, it is indeed not a difficult thing for them to pass Japan's top chef assessment.

"It's not very difficult? Have you seen the exam questions for top chefs in other countries?"

“I’ve seen Denmark and China. Denmark is weaker than Japan. China is difficult to compare because each province is different.

But if compared with the test questions for the Guangzhou top chef exam I saw, the Japanese top chef exam is nothing but child’s play.”

Nakiri Alice's words made Nakiri Erina fall into silence. If she hadn't known that she had the level of a top chef, she would definitely have refuted it.

but...

"Okay, we're in the classroom now. No matter what, prepare carefully for this midterm exam because I'm the examiner this time.

Don't think you can pass it easily. Even if it's you, if you can't meet my requirements, I will still expel you."

Looking at the people chatting enthusiastically, Bai Yuan stopped at the door of the classroom, turned around and spoke to them with a smile.

The information has been collected, and everyone is not very concerned about the midterm exam. This is not acceptable, so Bai Yuan decided to give them some intensity.

"What? Mr. Bai Yuan, you are the examiner of this midterm exam!?"

Arata Hisako covered her mouth in shock, her heart skipping a beat. This guy was to be the examiner for the mid-term exam?!

What an international joke!

"Teacher Bai Yuan, excuse me, how many people do you plan to let pass the assessment?"

Erina Nakiri's voice was also trembling a little. She didn't expect that just after she complained about the ease of the midterm exam, Bai Yuan would drop a bombshell on her.

"I don't know yet, but if your strength is too low, I don't mind eliminating you all. I think it will help you get used to the competition in the advanced department in advance."

Bai Yuan laughed as he spoke, then pushed open the door of the classroom. There were many familiar faces inside, all of whom came specifically for him.

"Xiao Hui still didn't come today?"

After looking around the classroom but couldn't find the person he wanted to see, Bai Yuan walked up to Yoshino Yuuki who was chatting with Sakaki Ryoko and asked.

"Good morning, Mr. Bai Yuan.

She didn't get your class, and she didn't want to compete with others for a spot, so today, it seems she's taking Mr. Roland Chapelle's class."

Seeing Bai Yuan walking towards them, Yoshino Yuuki immediately waved and greeted him energetically, then began to explain.

Although Sakaki Ryoko next to him didn't say anything, she bowed slightly to him to show her respect.

Because Bai Yuan offers Chinese food classes and the quality is extremely high.

His classes are now particularly popular among the stronger people in Totsuki.

Students who were drawn to his course would almost immediately become the target of others' food battles, and even those who won the food battles might not be able to keep their spots.

This is exactly the teaching philosophy of Yuanyue.

competition.

Only by constant competition, stepping on fellow travelers and using them as stepping stones, can we climb to the highest mountain.

"Is that so? The girl is still too soft-hearted. With her strength, if she wants to fight, at least half of the people present are no match for her."

Bai Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the students present. There were many familiar faces, but there were also some strangers, about ten in number.

After a quick glance, Bai Yuan saw anticipation in their eyes. It was likely that they had heard rumors outside and came to experience his class.

How many of these people will stay? And how many will eventually flee and persuade others not to take his class?

but...

None of this has anything to do with him.

After all, he has only been concerned about that small group of people from the beginning to the end.

Unless other people are extremely talented, he really doesn't take them seriously. At most he teaches them some basic things, and they won't be able to learn any more difficult things.

"Speaking of which, what are we going to learn today, Mr. Bai Yuan?"

Just then, a girl came forward.

She looked at Bai Yuan with eyes full of admiration, and asked about what he had learned today, if for no other reason than to say a few more words to him.

"fried rice."

Faced with the inquiry, Bai Yuan only replied with two words in a faint tone.

"Hey, why is it such a simple thing?"

"A novice chef should know this kind of thing. Teacher, please teach us something else, some powerful tricks that no one else knows!"

"That is to say, fried rice... I guess no one here doesn't know how to make it, right?"

Bai Yuan's words made the scene noisy, with voices of complaints rising one after another.

If it was anything else, it would be fine, but the key is that fried rice is so simple that almost every chef has this basic skill.

It's like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in arithmetic. It's impossible for you to go to university and still learn the same things that elementary school students learn, right?

"If you want to learn, learn. If you don't want to learn, get lost!"

I heard some noises around me, most of which were made by new members.

If it was Bai Yuan who had just arrived in Yuantsuki, he might have explained a few words, but now, he just wanted to tell these shouting people to get out with a cold face.

Do these people really think they are important? They are obviously incompetent but still nitpicking! Otherwise, let them go now!

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent. Everyone looked at each other with panic in their eyes, obviously realizing that they had displeased Bai Yuan.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bai Yuan, that's not what we meant."

"We are learning, please don't chase us away!"

"The way the teacher teaches fried rice must be different from others. These guys don't learn it, so I will!"

"Coach! I want to learn how to make fried rice!"

Seeing Bai Yuan walking back to the cooking table, everyone at the scene quickly knelt down and began to plead for mercy, with some onlookers even starting to praise and step on him.

"Okay, be quiet.

Do you really think you have mastered fried rice? Fried rice in Chinese cuisine is the foundation of everything and the ultimate embodiment of the control of heat!

If you want to know how good a chef is, you can tell a lot by asking him to cook a bowl of rice. Alice, come up and show us how good he is. "

Bai Yuan looked at Erina Nakiri and the others and slowly began to explain.
