Late at night, Totsuki Academy's commander-in-chief's office!
Nakiri Senzaemon looked at the document in his hand and kept nodding. His old face was full of satisfaction, and he saw that the document in his hand was really the information of the players who performed well in the autumn selection.
You can also vaguely see familiar names such as Soma Yukihira and Ryo Hayama.
"Sure enough, in the 92nd issue of the Brilliant Stars Era, many outstanding talents have really emerged. With a little training, they can become the pillars of Yuanyue. Haha, the harvest season is finally coming."
How could Nakiri Senzaemon not be happy? Only now did he truly feel that he had so many talented people under his command. Not only him, but these children were the team that his granddaughter would control Totsuki in the future. Now he just had to wait.
If there are no accidents, just issue 92, "The Era of Uncut Jade"! This should have been the best time for Totsuki to dominate the neon cuisine world and even aspire to the world. Nakiri Senzaemon seemed to have thought of something again, and his face
The smile on his face suddenly dimmed.
"How wonderful it would be if those people hadn't appeared!"
A hint of gloom flashed in Nakiri Senzaemon's eyes, and he suddenly felt something strange in the surrounding air. He frowned and shouted:
"Yamada, Yamada..."
However, the entourage that was supposed to appear at the first call still did not appear amidst Nakiri Senzaemon's series of calls. This strange and silent atmosphere suddenly reminded Nakiri Senzaemon of the time when he was not there.
Good memories.
"Damn it, was it so easy to be sneaked in?"
Nakiri Senzaemon cursed secretly, regained his usual composure, and said in a deep voice:
"Aren't you showing up yet? Everyone, you are still hiding from the light..."
There was a hint of ridicule in the words. Sure enough, after Nakiri Senzaemon's voice fell, a burst of playful laughter echoed in the room. The luxurious solid wood door slowly opened, and Xiang En's pretty figure appeared in the room.
In front of Nakiri Senzaemon.
"Mr. Nakiri, we meet again. This is the greeting from the dark cooking world to you..."
The bright red lips sparkle with bright colors, charming and dangerous...
…
The next day!
Between the moon and the sky!
Yukihira Soma stood in the cooking venue, couldn't help but yawned loudly, looking a little listless. If his eyes weren't still shining with excitement, I'm afraid even if he dozed off the next second, he wouldn't be able to do it at all.
Some people will be suspicious. After all, it is not unprecedented for this guy to fall asleep in the cooking competition.
"Xinghei didn't sleep, okay? Why are you so lethargic?"
Seeing Souma Yukihira's listless look, Zenji Marui couldn't help but frowned and asked.
"Haha, he didn't sleep well. This guy didn't sleep at all. He practiced cooking all night and had no time to sleep at all."
Listening to Yoshino Yuki's complaints, the others couldn't help but laugh bitterly. They couldn't help it, this is Souma Yukihira's style, which always makes people fearful.
"But is this really okay? The opponent is the granddaughter of the academy's commander-in-chief, Nakiri Senzaemon. She has the inherited bloodline of the "Demon King of Food". Yukihira is in this state..."
Jun Imusaki said with some worry. Although he didn't finish his words, the meaning was self-evident.
Zenji Marui, Yuki Yoshino, Ryoko Sakaki and others couldn't help but fell silent. As a person who has been extremely talented since childhood and has won awards in various international competitions, they have also heard of Alice Nakiri's reputation as a genius, and in
Her highest-scoring curry dish in the preliminaries, whether it was the latest technology or ideas, overwhelmed them with difficulty.
The more they thought about it, the more uncomfortable they became, and the more they thought about it, the more disappointed they became. They asked themselves deeply, if they had been replaced by Yukihira Souma, I am afraid that they would have been stimulated by the tense atmosphere on the field and collapsed before it even started!
For a moment, the atmosphere among the few people suddenly became a little low. And just when they were thinking wildly, they suddenly felt a pain in their heads, and only heard a sound of "dong dong dong~". Several people hugged their heads and screamed, and immediately
Wake up from melancholy.
When he turned around, he saw Xia Tian blowing gently on his palms. He immediately understood and covered his head and asked doubtfully:
"Why are you beating us, Xia Tian?"
Xia Tian snorted coldly, glanced at these useless guys, and said angrily:
"Idiot, if I hadn't woken you up, you might have gotten into trouble again."
"Ah, this..."
Seeing that Xia Tian had noticed his thoughts, several people smiled sheepishly, and Yoshino Yuki stuck out her tongue playfully.
Xia Tian glared at her fiercely. She pretended to be cute when she disagreed, and Xia Tian continued:
"You must understand that for chefs, all status, fame and pressure are fictitious. Only your own cooking skills are real. You are afraid of the excellence and status of Alice of the Nakiri family, but you have forgotten that there is nothing
People are born with excellence. Take Alice Nakiri's molecular gastronomy as an example. It is also accumulated bit by bit. Can any of you understand those complicated and profound cooking formulas and principles?"
Everyone immediately shook their heads.
"You only saw her glory, but didn't notice her efforts. Similarly, Xingping is much better than you. For the pressure and tension you have, he doesn't care about these illusory Dongxing at all. Well, maybe
Because of this guy’s rough nerves. But he put Alice Nakiri in the right position, the opponent, and you put her above you, so you are already destined to lose.”
Speaking of this, these people couldn't help but became silent and thought carefully, and Xia Tian did not disturb them. Suddenly, as a close elder sister, Ryoko Sakaki was the first to wake up and thanked Xia Tian:
"Thank you, Mr. Xia Tian, I understand..."
Looking at Ryoko Sakaki's plain expression, Xia Tian couldn't help but nodded slightly. It's right to respect the strong, but you can't be overly afraid. It will only make you stand still and never make any progress.
Soon everyone else also understood and expressed their gratitude to Xia Tian. Only Yoshino Yuki, a girl, still couldn't get rid of the little girl's face. She tinkered with her clothes and whispered in a low voice:
"...But even so, you can't hit others, it hurts so much!"
Xia Tian was suddenly speechless and said angrily:
"Have you ever heard of "a wake-up call"? I'm pretty lighthearted. If you're still confused next time, don't blame me... Hehe~"
A trace of a sinister smile appeared on Xia Tian's face, which immediately frightened the stupid girl Yoshino Yuki into throwing herself into Ryoko Sakaki's arms for comfort. Xia Tian looked envious for a while... ahem, contempt!!
And at this moment, with Rei Kawashima announcing the order "Shoguki, let's fight!", the elimination round between Soma Yukihira and Alice Nakiri officially began, but Xia Tian looked at the examiner on the judges' bench.
