Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　Although he was speaking to Erina Nakiri, the real target was all the women present. Feeling the resentful gazes coming from all directions, Bai Yuan calmly began to reason with them.

　"We know, we will try our best."

　Faced with his comments, the girls' restless hearts calmed down considerably, and they then spoke seriously.

　Although feelings of discouragement had crossed their minds, as Bai Yuan said, they should indeed persevere and not give up halfway, as that would be too spineless.

　"Okay, I'll time you and correct your posture while I'm at it."

　Looking at the expressions of the people in front of him, Bai Yuan nodded slightly, then stepped forward and guided their movements, making sure to grasp every detail to ensure that their training could achieve the best results.

　"Yes."

　The girls didn't say much, but simply responded loudly.

　"Very good, very energetic!"

　Bai Yuan nodded slightly in praise.

　These actions are neither difficult nor easy; the key lies in whether you can endure hardship and whether you dare to endure hardship.

　Because the body feels pain when performing the correct posture, sometimes people's awe of pain makes them avoid the correct posture, which is only natural.

　In situations like these, the presence of a master is essential.

　They would explain incorrect postures so that their apprentices wouldn't make the same mistakes next time, acting as a guiding light to illuminate their path forward.

　"You're bending too low. This not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise but can also injure your spine. Be careful next time." — Da

　Bai Yuan placed his hand on Mito Ikumi's waist, his voice soft yet irresistibly drawing people in to believe him.

　"Okay, I see."

　Mito Ikumi nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.

　Her face flushed slightly, and then, with Bai Yuan massaging her waist, she lifted her waist a little, while straightening her chest and looking serious and focused.

　"Hisako's problem is that her back is too straight, which means she doesn't get any exercise benefits."

　As Bai Yuan moved to the left, his voice rang out again. This time, the comment was from Hisako Shinoto, who was standing next to Erina Nakiri. As he spoke, he reached out and pressed Shinoto's body down a little.

　"Ouch...it hurts! Teacher Baiyuan, stop for a moment."

　Feeling the pain of her lower back sinking, Hisako Shinoto couldn't help but gasp and hiss, clearly indicating that this was her limit.

　"Just grit your teeth and bear it a little longer, and you'll sink just a little bit more."

　Bai Yuan remained indifferent and did not let her continue using the wrong method just because she cried out in pain.

　Does it hurt? It's normal for it to hurt. As the saying goes, you have to break down something before you can build something new. How can you build something if it doesn't hurt?

　"All you have to do next is persevere; five minutes is enough for you to get used to this state."

　"Okay, I will try my best."

　"It's not just about trying, it's about having to do it!"

　After helping Hisako Shinto hold on for a moment, gradually stabilizing her body, Shirai slowly released his grip. Seeing that she was swaying but did not get up, he then moved on to the next location.

　"Miyoko, your posture is the most standard among the girls, that's very good."

　Seeing Hojo Miyoko struggling to keep going despite the sweat beading on her forehead, Shirabuchi circled around her but couldn't find any faults, so he praised her.

　"Thank you."

　Faced with the praise, Hojo Miyoko did not become arrogant, but simply smiled shyly and then stood up even more upright.

　Although she was nearing her limit, as long as Bai Yuan praised her, she felt she could keep going!

　Seeing this, Bai Yuan ignored it and instead focused his attention on the poor students who were making frequent mistakes.

　For struggling students, those five minutes are like hell.

　Firstly, they had already expended a lot of energy, and secondly, the standard movements were too physically demanding for them to maintain.

　"Great, it'll be over in two minutes."

　After glancing at the time on his phone, Bai Yuan told a small lie; in reality, five minutes had already passed.

　Erina Nakiri and the others, who didn't have watches on their hands, naturally trusted him unconditionally and didn't think that Shiro was lying to them. So they gritted their teeth and persevered, knowing that they could have a delicious hot meal in just two more minutes!

　"Keep going until the very last minute!"

　Watching the time tick by on his watch, Bai Yuan paced back and forth while calling out.

　"Persistence leads to victory, keep going!"

　Despite being physically exhausted, Hojo Miyoko stubbornly persevered, internally screaming at herself to keep going no matter what, so as not to give up.

　Although the others did not have her strong determination, they all had a belief in their hearts.

　That means I absolutely cannot lose face in front of Bai Yuan!

　Bai Yuan had grasped this psychology of theirs, which is why he extended the time so that these guys who had never experienced hardship could achieve self-transcendence.

　Judging from the results so far, this approach was correct.

　"With the final thirty seconds, victory is just around the corner!"

　Looking at the time on his phone, Bai Yuan's voice revealed a hint of excitement. Just one more minute, and Nakiri Erina and the others would complete the feat of holding out for ten minutes!

　Although it wasn't particularly impressive, it was already a huge improvement for them!

　"persist in."

　This was the shared thought in the minds of all the girls present.

　Success is possible if you persevere!

　Although they didn't know what the benefit of success would be, they wanted to succeed!

　"Congratulations on completing the challenge of standing in the standard posture for ten minutes."

　The timer on his phone reached ten minutes, and Bai Yuan looked at the girls in front of him, who were drenched in sweat, with a smile on his face.

Volume 1: Crossing Over into Food Wars, Becoming Alice Nakiri's Master: Chapter 289: The Practical Training Plan, Challenging Satoshi Isshiki's Soma Yukihira

　"Ten...ten minutes, isn't it five minutes?!"

　Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words and seeing his smile, Erina Nakiri immediately showed a surprised expression, then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at him with a resentful expression.

　She had gritted her teeth, her legs were trembling, and she had barely managed to hold on, only to have the other party secretly give her extra time?!?

　"I see. By not telling us the real time, they weaken our sense of time, and then constantly encourage us with words, thus pushing us beyond our limits!"

　Compared to Erina Nakiri's bewilderment, Hisako Shirato was clearly much smarter and understood Shirabuchi's thoughts after a little thought.

　If nothing unexpected happens, the other party probably intends to use this method to push them to their limits.

　In fact, after completing this set of exercises, she clearly felt that her body was lighter. If she were to repeat the movement again, the difficulty level would be greatly reduced, and she wouldn't even need anyone's assistance.

　It's hard to believe that this could be accomplished in ten minutes! One can only say that Bai Yuan truly lives up to his reputation.

　The teacher easily accomplished what they couldn't!

　Today's practice efficiency is ten times that of usual.

　"Hisako understands me the best!"

　When Hisako Shinto revealed his purpose, Bai Yuan reached out and rubbed her head. It was so easy to communicate with a smart person.

　"hey-hey."

　Suddenly receiving Bai Yuan's praise, Shinobu Hisako, who was sitting on the grass, smiled shyly, her eyes crinkling with affection as she looked at the boy in front of her.

　"Now that training is over, don't sit on the ground anymore, it's filthy. Go back, take a hot shower, and have dinner. I'll give you a big chicken leg later."

　As he spoke, Bai Yuan clapped his hands, indicating that breakfast was the next thing to do after training.

　"No, my legs are too weak to move."

　"Me too! That position was so painful and tiring, I felt like I had reached my limit!"

　"Teacher Bai Yuan helped me up; I couldn't get up on my own."

　As soon as Bai Yuan finished speaking, complaints arose one after another, and the girls' faces were full of exhaustion.

　Maintaining standard ancient martial arts movements for ten minutes straight had already left them utterly exhausted.

　"I really can't do anything with you guys, get up now."

　Seeing this, Bai Yuan touched his nose, then reached out to help the girls who were sitting or squatting on the grass, allowing them to get up with the help of the grass.

　As Erina Nakiri and the others saw his outstretched hand, they all took it and were pulled up from the ground one by one. As they got up, they patted the dirt off their buttocks, their expressions subtly revealing their disgust.

　Clearly, they also thought the grass was dirty, but their exhaustion left them no choice but to sit on the ground to relieve their fatigue.

　Before long, the group of people dragged their tired bodies from the yard to the villa.

　“Smells so good.”

　Stepping into the villa and into the living room, the rich aroma of the morning tea on the dining table brought a look of delight to their faces, giving them a surge of energy, and they quickened their pace to approach it.

　"Wash your hands before eating, you should too."

　Bai Yuan slapped away Lia's hand that was reaching for the shrimp dumplings, then looked at Erina Nakiri and the others who were gathered around the dining table, their eyes glued to each other, and spoke.

　"Yes."

　Reluctantly shifting their gaze, the group returned from the yard and jogged to the kitchen.

　"Speaking of which, according to the timeline of previous years, the Autumn Selection should only be starting now."

　Watching the departing figures of Erina Nakiri and the other three, Shirai turned his gaze away and then asked Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko, who were coming down from upstairs.

　"In previous years, the list would have been announced before the summer vacation and the autumn selection would have started after the summer vacation. However, since it has been brought forward this year, it is definitely impossible to hold it again. I wonder what event will replace it."

　Upon hearing the question, Yoshino Yuuki stopped and stood still for a moment before answering.

　In previous years, the summer training program was held before the summer vacation. This year, the summer training program was cancelled, and the selection was conducted directly. Therefore, the timeline is incorrect.

　"If there's a new event to replace it, I'll most likely have to come up with that idea. Do you have any suggestions? Or, what kind of event would you like to participate in that's related to cooking?"

　Nowadays, Senzaemon Nakiri has become a hands-off manager at Totsuki Academy, leaving all student-related matters to him, including organizing activities each semester.

　"That makes sense. Normally, after the Autumn Selection, the next step is a field training program. It truly allows students to transition from theory to practice. Professor Bai Yuan, perhaps you could consider this?"

　Yoshino Yuuki paused her finger near her lips, recalling Isshiki-senpai's experience last year, and looked up at Shirabuchi.

　“I have considered this part. There are quite a few restaurants in Japan that have partnered with Totsuki Culinary Arts, and many of them are on the verge of closing down for various complicated reasons. Perhaps we can use this to test the students.”

　After thinking for a moment, I still couldn't think of a suitable activity.

　Moreover, given the current strength of Erina Nakiri and the others, it seems inappropriate to continue training behind closed doors; practical training is urgently needed!

　"Should we start the field training phase earlier? If so, I think we can extend the field training period. This would help students adapt to society and benefit their future cooking skills."

　Just then, Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri came out of the kitchen after washing their hands and overheard Shirabuchi and Yuuki Yoshino's conversation, so they made their suggestion.

　"The normal on-site training period is one month, which is divided into two people working together to help a restaurant and one person going to the restaurant alone to apply for a job."

　One of them, working alone, mostly honed his skills under the high standards of the head chef at the restaurants run by previous graduates.

　At this point, Bai Yuan pulled out a chair and sat down.

　The relevant context of the field study gradually came into my mind, and then I discovered the problem.

　The students under his command are no weaker than those graduates of Totsuki Academy. If they were allowed to take command, not only would their strength not improve much, but they might also be bullied.

　Under normal circumstances, Totsuki Academy graduates three to five students a year.

　The graduates are generally at the level of first-class chefs, with only a very few top geniuses able to obtain the title of special grade chef before graduation.

　Chef's qualifications.

　Of those who didn't obtain the title of Master Chef before graduation, 70% will never become a Master Chef in their lifetime, while 30% can achieve the title of Master Chef after accumulating a lot of time and experience.

　Wouldn't sending Yoshino Yuuki and the others to learn from these top chefs lead them astray? Shirabuchi had strong doubts about this.

　"It seems that we need to conduct an on-site inspection of the store before conducting the actual training."

　At this moment, Bai Yuan had already made up his mind.

　During their elementary school years, after undergoing his rigorous midterm exams, only about fifty students remained in Totsuki Academy's class. Each of them was an exceptionally talented genius, fully deserving of better in-person training at the shops.

　"Take me with you then, I happen to have some related work too."
