"Next, let's invite the judges to announce the results of the competition." Rei Kawashima presided.
..., there was silence, and the five judges looked at each other, bowing their heads in thought without saying a word.
"Please... the judges vote?" Rei Kawashima was a little surprised.
"..." The five judges remained silent.
"Wow! The judges can't make a decision right away?! So far, the judges have made decisions very quickly!" Rei Kawashima quickly seized the opportunity to host.
This is a good opportunity to stir up the atmosphere at the scene.
"..." Everyone in the audience looked directly at the judges' table. It is rare for the judges to be unable to make a decision in a place like Totsuki Academy.
"I..." Chef Suwon raised his hand.
"Who to choose? Who to choose?! Chef Suwon has to make a decision!" Seeing Chef Suwon raise his hand, Yuki couldn't help but grab Seok's head from behind and shake it.
Shi Ke's face was stretched wide, (w)→(￣＿￣///).
"Yu Ji, can you please change someone else?" Shi Ke turned around with a stiff face, (￣＿￣///).
"Oh. I'm so excited."
Then Marui was stretched wide.
"Why me?" Marui was speechless, (Θ＿Θ\\\).
"I give up." Chef Suwon said.
The entire audience was immediately stunned.
"Chef Suwon, you...what do you mean?" Kawashima Rei said with the corners of her mouth cramped.
"I'm giving up my vote. The difference between the two sides' dishes is really too small. I don't think I can make a correct and fair evaluation based on my level. So, I'm giving up my vote. I'm sorry, two contestants. Please leave it to the other judges."
Chef Suwon spread his hands and said seriously.
"Nani?!" Chef Suwon's recipe made the audience confused.
"I also give up. Both sides of this game are too good, and they have shown me the so-called taste. This is indeed not a game where one can easily make up his mind." Dojima Gin raised his hand directly.
When Hinata saw that even Dojima Gin had given up, she immediately raised her hand,..., "Me too..."
"I gave up too." Two identical words were spoken before her, and Taki Kadozaki and Sono Kikushi also gave up.
The four judges gave up voting early, leaving everyone present stunned.
"Me too..." Hinata was stunned for a moment and raised her hand cautiously.
"Chef... If you give up again, you won't be able to compete anymore." Kawashima Rei stopped her hand with a sad face.
"But...but!"
"It's all up to you. Chef, make a decision quickly! I can't stop this!" Kawashima Rei begged.
"Okay~~" Hinata looked at Kawashima Rei's watery and pitiful big eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she gritted her teeth, "Let me analyze it first. Hayama-kun's apicius duck meat uses a lot of spices to create an unparalleled texture.
The fragrance gives the taster an extraordinary three-dimensional feeling. It can be said that it is a work that brings traditional spice crafting technology to the extreme. I like it very much."
"It seems that Chef Gan is more optimistic about contestant Ryo Hayama's dishes!" Rei Kawashima excitedly hosted.
"Ah! No, it's too arbitrary to decide like this! I'll think about it again!" Hinata suddenly rejected her decision.
"Okay. Think about it again!" Rei Kawashima smiled awkwardly.
"Okay. I've decided. What's better is Yukihira Soma's Yukihira-style beef stew. He uses corresponding techniques to process the meat from each part of the beef, and then combines it together to make a beef Chikuzen stew! It maximizes the possibilities of an ordinary dish and creates a new taste! This creativity goes beyond tradition!"
"..." Ye Shanliang gritted his teeth.
"It seems..." Rei Kawashima was about to host.
"Ah! No! Hayama-kun's duck meat is better..." Hinata overturned the decision she just made.
The whole audience was stunned.
"You're the chef! You go back and forth and make such sharp turns, my heart can't bear it!" Yuji covered her chest and crawled out from under the seat.
Just when Yuki was about to celebrate, Hinata made a sharp turn and knocked her under the seat.
"Chef, please give me an answer..." Kawashima Rei said the voice of most students, stop being so hung up!!
"……,I made a decision!"
"Oh?! Hurry up and give us the results! Be the chef!"
"Well..., let's keep the outcome of this game with me for the time being! I'm going to go to the toilet first!" Hyugako held it in for a long time, then she said this and prepared to run away cutely.
"You want to save it again?" Chef Mizuhara grabbed Hinata who was about to pass the test.
"Ah! I don't care! Don't leave such a difficult question to me! The four of you are cheating!" Hinata saw that she couldn't escape, so she just rolled around regardless of her face.
The entire audience looked stupid. Is it so difficult to make a decision? You don’t even want to lose face?!
"Stop kidding me! Everyone has to fight until we are dead! Make a decision quickly! Bastard!" Ryo Kurokiba put on a turban and yelled,
"Scared me! What are you yelling at, you top eight? Just watch the game with peace of mind and don't talk." Shi Ke was startled and pulled off his turban.
"Oh." Kurokiba Ryo turned off the flames on the spot, (_).
"How do the examiners plan to end this? Yes! Give a clear result! They actually gave up the evaluation collectively! Do you treat this serious competition as a child's play? Tell me clearly! Who are you going to vote for? ?Don’t think that you can get away with it by just throwing a tantrum!!” The sponsors are so anxious!
"It's over! Everyone is agitated! Dojima-senpai, help!" Hinatako, who was acting ineffectively, rolled and hid behind Dojima Gin, Σ(っ°Д°;)っ.
"Huh... let me do it!" Dojima Gin stood up and walked to the judges' table, "First of all, the five of us gave up the evaluation not because of childishness, but because the two sides in the competition are indeed on par and have equal strength. , or in other words, the dishes served by both parties this time are top-notch, and it is unfair to unilaterally judge based on personal preferences! For the sake of fairness, we cannot make a decision!"
"What do you mean, Dojima-senpai?" Yuki scratched her head.
"It's a contradiction. This has become a deadlock. Both sides have their own characteristics and advantages, and simple evaluation is unreasonable. To explain simply, they have created an endless cycle. The aroma is better, and the taste is stronger. One plus and one minus offset each other. Yes. Hayama Ryo is a traditional dish from the 17th century, while Yukihira is a free-spirited creative dish. Different types cannot be compared, and the advantages of age and history are offset again. The tastes of both sides are completely comparable and offset. How to make a decision? Look at the appearance. ?Ryo Hayama served it in a Western-style dish, while Yukihira served it in a classic version of beef stew. The difference is not big and has no impact. The judging results should be convinced by everyone. You can’t eliminate Yukihira just because Hayama Ryo is more handsome, right? That’s not the case either It's a beauty pageant." Shi Ke spread his hands and analyzed it bit by bit.
"Then what should we do? We can't compete in the finals? Shi Ke-kun." Liangzi asked.
"Hahaha... don't ask me, you have to ask the organizers. I'm only responsible for beating people in the finals." Shi Ke laughed.
Hearing this, everyone in Jixing looked at Shi Ke collectively, "You have such a big heart."
"Operators, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?" Gin Dojima looked at the viewing seats of the operators on the second floor.
"Excuse me, Chef Dojima." Isshiki-senpai appeared in the operations staff's viewing area, next to Erina and Eizan Etsuya.
The three of them walked to the judging table.
"I remember that in the Shokugeki rules, if the winner cannot be decided, the game will be kept and the winner will be determined later." Dojima Gin sat back in his seat and said.
"That's right. However, this is the autumn selection, and the guests who came here all took time out of their busy schedules. So, unfortunately, from a practical point of view, it is impossible to decide on a date for the rematch." Isshiki Hui declined politely.
.
"So, my proposal is to let both sides advance to the finals at the same time in this situation of no retreat!" Dojima Gin raised his finger, "Let's have an unprecedented decisive battle between the three giants!"
The whole audience was excited.
"This is indeed unprecedented. However, this cannot be decided directly by a few judges..." Erina was a little frightened.
"This proposal... is very interesting!!" Kirisenzaemon appeared in the spectator seats on the second floor.
"Grandpa?..." Erina was stunned for a moment.
"Let me use the power of the college commander to announce! The match between Soma Yukihira and Ryo Hayama is a draw! Both sides entered the finals at the same time! In the finals, there will be a three-person competition with Shi Ke!!"
