The King of Elden's Multiverse Life

Of course, the more facilities and the better the service, the higher the price.

However, as a shareholder of Far Moon, it's not necessary to go through all that trouble when bringing people on vacation; you can just go directly.

So, after learning that there were no classes that evening, the girls decided to go to the upscale spa at the Far Moon Resort after dinner to have a good experience.

At 11:30, the people arranged by Dojima Gin arrived and led everyone to a luxurious restaurant located halfway up the mountain.

Although Luo Yu had quite a few people, for Dojima Gin, these guests were nothing, not to mention the many chefs assisting him in the kitchen, as well as a junior he had specially invited.

Seeing Kojiro Shinomiya, who was focused on preparing the dishes, dojima Gin nodded and then arranged for the dishes to be served.

Inside the luxurious private room, everyone sat together, happily enjoying the exquisite dishes that were served one after another.

Luo Yu also took out her phone, took a picture, and sent it to Alice and the others who were still at school and hadn't left yet.

Alice and the others, who were having lunch at the villa, were all wide-eyed when they received the photos sent by Luo Yu.

Erina looked at the dishes and analyzed, "What perfect dishes! Who made these?"

Alice guessed, "The Far Moon Resort, and the one that hosted Yu-kun and the others, it must be Senior Dojima, right?"

"Dojima Gin-senpai... it must be him."

Erina also felt that it was pretty much the same. Although Totsuki Resort had many skilled chefs, only Dojima Gin was qualified to serve Luo Yu with this level of cuisine.

However, in the second photo, Erina saw a rather unusual dish.

"Is this... a vegetable jelly?"

After seeing this dish, Erina realized what was happening and looked at some of the other dishes in the photo.

"Sure enough, about a third of the dishes are French, and most of them are French vegetable dishes."

Recalling the list of mentors for this residential training program that her grandfather had shown her, Erina immediately thought of one person.

At the same time, Alice and Hisako also thought of it, and the three of them said in unison, "Shinomiya Kojiro!"

Tadokoro Megumi, who didn't know much about these things, looked at the three of them with great curiosity: "Who is Shinomiya Kojiro?"

Alice then briefly introduced Shinomiya Kojiro's identity to Tadokoro Megumi.

Upon hearing that the other party was an extremely strict chef, Tadokoro Megumi couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Is there going to be no problem?"

Alice smiled and put her arm around Tadokoro Megumi's shoulder, reassuring her, "Don't worry, Megumi, you've improved so much lately. As long as you stay confident and show your abilities, you'll be fine!"

Erina nodded affirmatively: "That's right, Erina, you're very talented. As long as you control your emotional fluctuations, there aren't many people in the first year of high school who can beat you. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat quickly, we'll be gathering and leaving soon."

Meanwhile, at the Far Moon Resort, Luo Yu also learned about Shinomiya Kojiro's situation from a message sent by Erina.

After glancing at the vegetable jelly that everyone had already finished eating, which was indeed delicious, Luo Yu noticed the differences in the types of dishes on the table.

Indeed, it must be Shinomiya Kojiro, but I didn't expect Dojima Gin to ask him for help.

"Shinomiya Kojiro?"

After hearing Luo Yu's explanation, Kaguya Shinomiya put down her knife and fork and said with some curiosity, "They share the same surname as me."

Luo Yu nodded and said, "It is indeed a surname, but he is not a member of the Shinomiya family, nor is he from any remote lineage; it's just that they share the same surname. But his cooking skills are truly outstanding."

Kaguya Shinomiya agreed: "Especially these vegetable dishes, they taste great. But even though they're good, I always feel like something's missing."

"What's missing?"

Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, then took a bite of Shinomiya Kojiro's cooking, savored it, and looked at Lani and Yukino.

Have you noticed?

Yukino swallowed a piece of pan-fried foie gras made by Dojima Gin and nodded, saying, "Perhaps it's because I've eaten so much of Alice and the others' cooking that my appreciation level has improved. I have indeed noticed a little problem. Their culinary skills are undoubtedly top-notch, but the things they put into their dishes are even a bit inferior to Alice and the others who haven't graduated yet. How should I put it? They seem a bit unambitious, or maybe just giving up? It's hard to describe."

Lani said, "I guess I've hit a plateau, which makes it impossible to convey the chef's passion through cooking. In contrast, Alice and the others' cooking always feels different, including these dishes made by Dojima Gin, which make me feel the chef's spirit."

Lani's words hit the nail on the head, making Yukino understand as well.

Chapter 219 The Upcoming Residential Training Program (2/2)

The chef's spirit embodied in the dishes is not something everyone can taste. For example, Miko and the Nakano Five Sisters, even Nino, who has the best cooking skills, could not appreciate the difference. They only knew that the level of preparation of these dishes was a height that they could not reach for a long time.

After lunch, which lasted for more than an hour, the final dessert was served, and Dojima Gin arrived at the private room.

"How was lunch? Are you satisfied?"

Luo Yu smiled and said, "Extremely impressive culinary skills. Mr. Dojima truly deserves to be the top chef among the Ten Masters back then. Even now, as the top chef of the Totsuki Resort, his culinary skills haven't declined at all. But besides you, the other chef should be Mr. Shinomiya Kojiro, right?"

Dojima Gin nodded and said, "That's right, it really is him. How did you figure it out?"

"I figured it out from the lunch dishes while chatting with Erina and the others."

Dojima Gin wasn't surprised. After all, as the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family, this accommodation training wouldn't be difficult for them, and they already knew the list of instructors in advance, so they could definitely guess it.

Then, Dojima Gin heard Luo Yu ask, "Mr. Dojima, with so many mentors coming this time, why did you think of asking Shinomiya Kojiro to help?"

Dojima Gin paused for a moment, then asked with interest, "Luo Yu-kun, what did you figure out?"

Luo Yu didn't play the riddle-maker and nodded, saying, "After all, I've eaten quite a bit of food made by Erina and Alice, and learned a lot from them. So I can taste some things from today's dishes. Especially compared to your dishes, Mr. Dojima, when both of our cooking skills are good, the other aspects are more obvious."

Dojima Gin suddenly realized, "I see. It seems you guys are quite capable. Yes, I did have my own reasons for asking Shinomiya to help me. He came over a couple of days ago and after talking with me, I saw his current problem: he's stagnating and his enthusiasm for cooking has diminished considerably. Unfortunately, it's not enough for me to talk to him alone. I wanted to find more opportunities for him to realize what he's missing, and today's lunch was no exception. However, I realized I was being a bit too simplistic. Getting him to understand on his own will be quite difficult."

After thinking for a moment, Luo Yu said, "I understand your thoughts, but given Shinomiya Kojiro's current situation, he might not be very suitable to be a tutor for residential training. I'm worried that his teaching methods might be a bit extreme."

That's how it was in the original work; they actually mixed in inferior cauliflower with the ingredients to eliminate students. It's absurd that someone who's not only a mentor but also a head chef would resort to such methods.

Dojima Gin hadn't thought of it that way at first, but after hearing Luo Yu mention it, and recalling Shinomiya Kojiro's experiences struggling in France over the years...

Wow!!! Who knows, this guy might actually cause some trouble!

He immediately became serious and looked at Luo Yu, saying, "Luo Yu-kun is right, it is indeed very likely. It seems I need to keep a close eye on Shinomiya. Well then, I'll be going now. Everyone, please enjoy your dessert."

After Dojima Gin left, Eriri looked at Luo Yu curiously and asked, "It's a large-scale course at Totsuki Academy, surely Shinomiya Kojiro wouldn't do something like that?"

Luo Yu smiled and shook his head: "That's hard to say. After all, according to what Dojima Gin said, Shinomiya Kojiro is facing some serious problems. Some geniuses, when they get stuck on a rut, are prone to doing some extreme things. For example, Dojima Gin's classmate, Shura Saiba Joichiro, the second seat of the Elite Ten who dropped out halfway through his studies."

Soma Yukihira, the male protagonist of Food Wars!, still exists in this world; Luo Yu has heard Alice and the others mention him.

However, due to Luo Yu's appearance and Alice's actions, the series of things that Soma Yukihira did had nothing to do with them.

Even so, Soma Yukihira still demonstrated great strength and an extremely strong ability to taunt.

According to Alice, since enrolling, he has been challenged by people almost every two or three days, including quite a few food battles, but he has always been defeated by Soma Yukihira.

Soma Yukihira's affairs weren't important. The only thing that made Luo Yu a little regretful was that his father, Joichiro Yukihira, wasn't in Tokyo. He still wanted to go and try the cooking of this "Shura" (a legendary figure known for his eccentricities).

"We rarely have an event like this, so let's not let Kojiro Shinomiya ruin this big event. That would be pointless."

After enjoying the delicious desserts, Luo Yu and his group left the restaurant and leisurely strolled back to the villa.

When they arrived at the villa, the students from Totsuki Academy had already arrived at the Totsuki Resort and were in the banquet hall of the high-rise hotel.

Alice and Erina stood together, while Hisako and Megumi, who served as assistants, stood on either side.

While waiting for the opening speech of the accommodation training program, Alice said to Erina beside her, "Erina, where are we staying for the next few days? Are we staying in the hotel rooms here? Or are we going to go find Yu-kun? Should we go and stay in the villa with them?"

Erina was somewhat tempted; living with Luo Yu and the others would definitely be more lively and interesting.

However, she still restrained herself and said, "Let's wait and see. Let's get through the first class this afternoon first. It would be embarrassing if you failed at the first hurdle."

Alice scoffed confidently, "Who do you think I am? A mere residential training course is no challenge for me!"

As she spoke, she took out her phone and sent a message to Luo Yu, while saying to Tadokoro Megumi beside her, "Megumi, why don't you stay at the villa with me? There are still rooms available at Yu-kun's place. Although hotel rooms aren't bad, they can't compare to a villa!"

"Oh? Well, I guess I won't need it?"

Although Tadokoro Megumi's strength is much greater than that of the same period in the original work, she is still easily nervous. She quickly waved her hand and said, "I can stay here!"

However, Alice did not listen to her and simply waved her hand.

"It's settled then. After the first class this afternoon, you can come with me. I'll introduce you to some new friends; they're all here to have fun!"

"Ugh!!!"

Looking at Alice's smiling face, Tadokoro Megumi sighed silently, knowing that there was nothing she could do but tell her friends at Polar Star Dormitory not to worry.

Soon, the tall Dojima Gin took the microphone and walked onto the stage, looking at the students below, and began his speech.

Chapter 220 Hinako Inui's Lesson (1/2)

Inside the banquet hall, Dojima Gin explained the rules of this residential training program to the students, while Luo Yu and the others watched the footage on television in the villa.

Upon hearing the specific rules, Eriri couldn't help but gasp: "That's really cruel. You get expelled the moment you fail? How can this attract so many people to apply?"

Yang Nai, standing to the side, said, "After all, it's the best culinary academy in Japan, and graduating successfully is highly prestigious. Almost every student with a bit of talent tries to apply. However, each admissions process eliminates the vast majority of applicants, only accepting a small portion. And those who are admitted will undergo various assessments over the next three years, weeding out those who don't meet the requirements. Only those who remain are the ones Totsuki needs—talented students, the elite of the elite. Those who graduate generally do very well."

Luo Yu also said, "That's right. Moreover, as long as you make a name for yourself during your school years, even if you don't reach the level of the Top Ten, you will be invited by various catering companies and big hotels before you even graduate. As for the Top Ten, take the current Top Ten as an example, they have been receiving invitations from all over the world non-stop. They don't even need to spend their own money to open a restaurant; there are plenty of people rushing to invest."

The Elite Ten of Totsuki are indeed all doing very well. Whether they go back to inherit their family businesses and expand them, join various world-class hotels and catering companies, or open their own restaurants, they all live very well.

Although Kojiro Shinomiya is currently facing a bottleneck in his abilities, he is still the first Japanese to receive the French Order of the Proust, and his fame abroad is still immense. He can be said to have everything from fame to wealth.

With so many successful predecessors to prove themselves, it's no wonder that countless students apply to Totsuki Academy every year.

After listening to Luo Yu's explanation, Eriri finally understood.

However, in the next moment, among the group of graduate mentors who had just taken the stage, Kojiro Shinomiya, who was wearing glasses, spoke first and expelled a boy for spraying hairspray with a strong smell.

"So that's Kojiro Shinomiya?" Kaguya Shinomiya said with some surprise. "Although his expression is really annoying, I have to say, it's really impressive that he can accurately smell the hair gel among so many people."

May asked in a low voice, "But isn't this requirement too harsh? Just because of hairspray, you're going to be expelled?"

Luo Yu said with a smile, "That's why Totsuki Academy has such high standards for its students in all aspects. As for the hairspray smell, it's not an overreaction."

Yukino agreed, saying, "It does seem a bit outrageous to us laymen, but after spending some time with Alice and the others, I've noticed that their shower gel and shampoo are all unscented. You can't smell the distinctive scent of shampoo at all, even on their days off."

Hearing that even Erina and the others felt this way, the others didn't have many other thoughts, and they did gain a deeper understanding of Totsuki's system.

Ichika looked at Nino with a beaming smile: "Nino, aren't you a little glad you didn't apply to Totsuki Academy? Even if you had gotten in, it would have been very tough!"

Nino wholeheartedly agreed, as she herself loved dressing up. She absolutely couldn't stand being forced to use unscented shampoo and shower gel without being able to dress up properly.

While everyone was discussing, the opening speech came to an end, and the students then went to their respective classrooms as arranged.

Clap his hands and Luo Yu looked at the girls and said, "So, do you want to go? I've sent you the list and the locations of all the classrooms. You can go wherever you want, and someone will take care of you. You can even be a taster."

“Yes, yes, yes!”

May was the first to raise her hand, her eyes shining as she said, "I want to go to Erina's side!"

Luo Yu sent the list directly to everyone, and they discussed it together before splitting up and going to several classrooms.

Luo Yu, along with Yukino, Lani, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and Eriri, arrived at the classroom where Alice and Tadokoro Megumi were.

After all, she was an assistant she had recruited. Considering that Tadokoro Megumi might be nervous, Alice used her special privileges to arrange for herself and Tadokoro Megumi to be in the same classroom.

When Luo Yu and the others leisurely arrived, the intense cooking process had already begun inside the classroom.

Pushing open the door, Luo Yu walked in with four girls, immediately attracting the attention of the students in the classroom.

Hinako Inui, who was sitting in a chair eating snacks, saw the four people enter and waved happily, saying, "Good afternoon, Luo Yu-kun! I didn't expect you to choose to come here! I'm so happy!"

Luo Yu smiled and said, "I just came to check on Alice's situation."

"Sigh~" Hinako Inui puffed out her cheeks in annoyance. "So young girls are definitely more attractive, huh? I was going to treat you to some delicious snacks, but it seems you won't get any!"

Then he invited Lani and the other two to eat the persimmon snacks he had brought.

Luo Yu smiled and shook his head, ignoring Inui Hinako's tantrum. He looked at Alice and Tadokoro Megumi, waved to the two girls who were looking over, and then looked at the other corner of the classroom.

One of them is a girl with orange hair and a bun, Yoshino Yuuki, Tadokoro Megumi's classmate in the Polar Star Dormitory.

The other person she teamed up with was a red-haired boy wearing his family restaurant uniform, Soma Yukihira, the protagonist of Food Wars!

Because of Alice's addition, Soma Yukihira no longer teamed up with Megumi Tadokoro, but instead teamed up with Yuuki Yoshino. However, this did not affect his performance.

After observing the dishes that Soma Yukihira's group was preparing, Luo Yu's gaze returned to Alice and Megumi Tadokoro.

Besides fish and a variety of vegetables, there were no other ingredients on their cooking table, and they were discussing something instead of cooking.

Three minutes later, Alice patted Tadokoro Megumi on the shoulder and then walked out alone.

While eating persimmon seeds, Kasumigaoka Utaha asked curiously, "Luoyu-kun, haven't Alice and the others started making them yet?"

Luo Yu said with a smile, "Because the main ingredients haven't been brought back yet."

"Huh? Aren't those fish?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked around and noticed that many people were using fish to make dishes. "Isn't the topic supposed to be fish dishes?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was clearly wrong. After all, all Luo Yu had given her was the list of classrooms and instructors. She didn't know the specific exam questions, as they were all set by the instructors on the spot to prevent leaks.
