Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　Although they were eager for the food in front of them, the queue was very orderly, and even if they couldn't control themselves, they could only restrain themselves now.

　The reason is simple: some unruly students had tried to monopolize Shirayuki-sensei's cooking because they were strong and healthy.

　As a result, he was not only taught a lesson by the united group, but was also picked up by Bai Yuan and thrown out of the classroom, resulting in a very tragic ending.

　After that incident, no one did it again. Later people were puzzled, but seeing that everyone followed the rules, they wouldn't break them either.

　"Teacher Bai Yuan, please help me."

　Carrying the fried rice she had just received, Erina Nakiri bit her lower lip and her cheeks flushed as she approached Bai Yuan. He was the only one present who could suppress the power within her to make her clothes burst open.

　However, given her appearance, someone who didn't know better might think the two were having some kind of secret deal...

　"Sit next to me first. I really don't know where your family's power comes from; the clothes-ripping thing is completely useless..."

　Why does it feel like a curse for no apparent reason?

　Bai Yuan patted the spot next to him, then reached out and took Nakiri Erina's hand, their fingers intertwined—a result of their repeated attempts.

　It is said that the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and only in this way can the force of clothing ripping be suppressed to the greatest extent, otherwise the buttons on the chest may pop open.

　Bai Yuan had always suspected that her figure was too good; even the slightest movement would cause a wave of waves, and wouldn't the buttons fly off?

　"I don't know either. The women in our family are supposed to be more resilient than the men, but who knew they'd meet you..."

　Erina Nakiri's expression was somewhat complicated; she didn't know whether to feel fortunate or resentful.

　We should be more grateful, after all, Bai Yuan let her eat delicious food.

　but...

　Feeling the warmth from her left hand, Erina Nakiri blushed even more. Although it wasn't the first time, she always felt shy.

　She had only ever seen such scenes in shoujo manga, where the male and female protagonists would only engage in such activities when their relationship had reached a certain point.

　Now that Bai Yuan doesn't object to holding her hand, does that mean...?

　Erina Nakiri's thoughts were somewhat chaotic, and for a moment she even ignored the delicious food in front of her, falling into a kind of fantasy.

　"You're still too inexperienced, unlike me, I can already control myself."

　Alice Nakiri's disdainful voice came from not far away. Looking at the two sitting hand in hand, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

　"Then what are you doing here?"

　Interrupted from her reverie, Erina Nakiri didn't hold back and started making sarcastic remarks to Alice Nakiri.

　"Of course, it's to hold Bai Yuan's other hand. It would be too cunning of you to say it's just you! Who knows what you're thinking?"

　As they spoke, Alice Nakiri moved another chair over and sat down, taking Bai Yuan's other hand, which was tasting the food, and then taking the spoon from him.

　"Let me feed you, Brother Bai Yuan."

　Using a spoon to scoop up the mixed fried rice from the plate, Alice Nakiri said with a slightly flushed face, feeling a little embarrassed even in front of so many people.

　Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the plate of mixed fried rice on the counter, and few people paid attention to them.

　"Alright, you should try it too. There's a big problem with your dish. You need to learn more. The 100 servings mentioned in class weren't a joke."

　After eating the food fed to him by Alice Nakiri, Bai Yuan leaned back in his chair, gave up the food in front of him, and then closed his eyes to rest and think.

　With less than a week until the midterm exams, he had to come up with a challenging enough test to make things easy for these guys!

　Judging from these guys' expressions, they don't seem nervous at all. If they continue like this, even if they make progress, it will be incredibly slow.

　His goal was to get all the Totsuki guys to Special Grade before graduation, but now he estimates that only a few can actually achieve that.

　However, the teaching policy must be changed!

　"I know, it's just 100 servings of fried rice. I'll set up a stall near Totsuki Restaurant tonight. I can make 200, not just 100..."

　With a hint of displeasure in her voice, Alice Nakiri put the mixed fried rice into her mouth, and instantly, an incredibly rich flavor exploded in her mouth.

　At the same time, Erina Nakiri, who was also eating mixed fried rice, gripped Shirayuki's hand tightly, and the temperature of her palm was rising at an alarming rate.

　"Shiitake mushrooms have a natural fresh aroma and a subtle woody scent. They are thick and fleshy with a smooth and tender texture. Carrots are sweet with a hint of sweetness and have a crisp texture."

　The unique smoky aroma and salty fragrance of Chinese sausage

　The meat is firm and chewy. The sausage has a smooth texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor.

　The green peas are sweet, crisp, and vibrant green. The eggs are golden and tempting, with a delicate and smooth texture. The rice absorbs the essence of all the ingredients, becoming plump and springy, and the interplay of flavors is absolutely delicious!

　Alice Nakiri exhaled a breath of hot air, her face full of enjoyment. The delicious flavor created by the combination of various ingredients was truly irresistible!

　"The fresh aroma of shiitake mushrooms intertwines with the salty fragrance of Chinese sausage, the sweetness of carrots complements the crispness of green peas, the mildness of ham sausage and the delicacy of eggs complement each other, and the spiciness of scallions adds a finishing touch to the whole fried rice."

　This feeling is like...

　As Erina Nakiri chanted in her mind and closed her eyes, she felt as if she were swimming in a sea of ​​ingredients. She felt completely free, her body relaxing as she shed all her constraints...

　However, at that very moment! Grains of rice with the appearance of Bai Yuan suddenly emerged from the sea of ​​various ingredients, their plump and round texture constantly assaulting every part of her body.

　This taste, this feeling!

　With her five fingers interlaced, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but tremble, although her clothes didn't burst open under the influence of Bai Yuan's internal energy.

　However, this also caused that power to flow elsewhere.

　Suddenly, my whole body trembled.

　Erina Nakiri opened her eyes, her gaze filled with unyielding tears and a complex mix of emotions, before collapsing back into her chair.

　Unfortunately, she still lost.

　Fortunately, she had anticipated this and made preparations in advance, so even though she ultimately couldn't resist, no change could be seen from the outside.

　This wave, this wave, was a victory for the party that was expected all along!

　·

　Totsuki Academy dismisses classes at 11:00 AM.

　After the school bell rang, Bai Yuan said goodbye to Nakiri Alice and headed towards the top floor alone.

　That was the classroom where Roland Chapel taught her class, and it was also where Tadokoro Megumi had her class today. If nothing unexpected happened, she shouldn't have left yet.

　That little girl liked to stay after class to reflect on what she had learned that day. He had bumped into Tadokoro Megumi studying alone in the classroom many times.

　His purpose in coming here was simple: he wanted Tadokoro Megumi to compete for more of his classes. He had a good impression of this simple and honest girl.

　People cherish what they have the least.

　Tadokoro Megumi possessed a quality he lacked—an extreme, pure kindness that warmed his heart, which was shrouded in darkness, and that's why he wanted to show her special care.

　If it were anyone else, even Erina Nakiri, Bai Yuan would only say one thing to her: "Learn if you want, or get lost!"

　"The bottom student is still the bottom student. Even if they are lucky enough to get an A grade, it doesn't change the fact that they are trash!"

　"If I were in their shoes, I probably wouldn't even have the face to stay here after being scolded like that. I would apply to withdraw from school right now."

　"Sigh, stop talking, I'm hungry. I got an A today, I need to eat something good!"

　Just as Bai Yuan reached the top floor, he heard a conversation. Turning his head, he saw a group of two men and a woman, complete strangers to him.

　but...

　Upon hearing their words, Bai Yuan suddenly felt a bad premonition.

　So he quickened his pace and soon arrived at the classroom of Professor Roland Chapel's students.

　At this moment, most of the students and teachers inside had already left.

　There was only one little girl with blue hair and double braids, her eyes seemed to be glistening with tears, her lips pursed, standing in front of the kitchen counter, unwilling to leave.

　Chapter 99 Abandon cowardice, charge forward, Tadokoro Megumi!

　Bai Yuan felt a pang of unease at the sight before him.

　She was clearly a very capable young girl, but because she wasn't strong enough inside, she ended up in this situation and was even ridiculed by the weak.

　"Perhaps, Tadokoro Megumi is the one who should be trained using the methods of the Dark Cuisine World!"

　Such thoughts appeared in Bai Yuan's mind, and then they became unstoppable!

　The strong should not be humiliated by the weak. This is the first time Bai Yuan has ever seen Tadokoro Megumi in this situation, whether in his past life or this one.

　"Xiao Hui."

　As if he had thought of something, Bai Yuan took two steps forward and walked to Tadokoro Megumi's side.

　"Bai... Teacher Bai Yuan? What brings you here?"

　Upon hearing the sound, Tadokoro Megumi hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye, then realized that her tears had dried up, so she forced a smile and looked at him.

　"Of course I came to see you. Why didn't you come to my class today? I missed you all morning."

　Bai Yuan patted her shoulder as he spoke, a sunny smile on his face.

　"I didn't get a spot in your class..."

　Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Tadokoro Megumi lowered her head and whispered.

　"Then let's use a food war to steal it! Anyway, so many people dislike my classes, even if you just ask, they'll probably give it to you, right?"

　That's not a reason.

　Looking at Tadokoro Megumi with her head down, Bai Yuan shook his head, clearly not agreeing with her reason, which was too superficial!

　"Teacher Bai Yuan, am I really useless? I can't do anything right..."

　Instead of answering Bai Yuan's question directly, Tadokoro Megumi asked him another question. With her head held high, her mood, which had just calmed down, was stirred up again by his appearance.

　"Your skill level is at least in the top ten in the Far Moon region."

　Therefore, there's no need to belittle yourself, and even less need to care about what others think; after all, those guys aren't as good as you.

　Thinking of what he had overheard in the corridor, Bai Yuan looked at Tadokoro Megumi's face seriously.

　This is not a lie. With her diligence, dedication, and talent, she would undoubtedly be in the top ten among her classmates at Totsuki Academy!

　However, her inner timidity made Tadokoro Megumi stop in her tracks and even retreat.

　In fact, Bai Yuan had already sensed during the last lesson with her that the confidence this girl had painstakingly built was rapidly slipping away.

　Based on what I overheard earlier, Tadokoro Megumi's lack of confidence most likely stems from the pressure from her classmates, feeling overwhelmed by countless voices...

　"Top ten? How is that possible? I'm not that good..."

　Bai Yuan's words startled Tadokoro Megumi, but a wry smile appeared on her face as she assumed he was trying to comfort her.

　"I say you have it, so you have it! This is the assertion of a top-tier seven-star chef. Do you dare to question me?"

　Bai Yuan's face turned cold, and he pretended to be angry, which made Tadokoro Megumi panic and awkwardly wave her hand in the air.

　"I didn't mean to question you! It's just that I botched the cooking again today and got the lowest rating. I could have done it well..."

　Thinking about what happened in class today, Tadokoro Megumi lowered her hand, pursed her lips, and her mood visibly dropped.

　"Enough with the nonsense! What dishes did you make in class today? Make them again now! Let me see your skills!"

　The girl's emotions were really too difficult to deal with, and Bai Yuan was not a good person to comfort others, so he tapped on the kitchen counter.

　Since the problem stems from cooking, let's solve it with cooking.

　To help someone who has lost confidence in cooking regain their confidence, watch them cook a good meal and offer them unwavering encouragement.

　"Shall we start cooking now?"

　"That's right, don't you love staying in the classroom after class to summarize your cooking experiences? Then let's start today's summary!"

　Seeing Tadokoro Megumi's slightly surprised expression, Shiro deliberately raised his voice a few decibels and looked at the remaining food on the table.

　"But we don't have enough materials left..."

　Looking at the few remaining ingredients on the counter, Tadokoro Megumi fidgeted with the hem of her clothes, her expression awkward.

　"Then let's make improvements. This classroom has so many ingredients. If one ingredient isn't enough, there must be another that can be substituted."

　And all you have to do is think! Think about how to make this dish using your own methods—that's a fundamental skill for a chef!

　Seeing Tadokoro Megumi's embarrassed expression, Bai Yuan leaned closer to her once more, their eyes meeting, and then spoke earnestly, word by word.

　Besides the ingredients that will be used in this lesson, there are also some alternative ingredients left in this classroom to accommodate students' creative ideas.

　After all, Totsuki Academy is not a rigid school.
