Food Wars!: God's Tongue is no match for me.

Her mind went blank.

I don't know how to respond to this sudden favor.

She recalled the various difficulties she had encountered in her cooking studies, and her grades had never been ideal. Faced with the examiner's invitation, she was both surprised and apprehensive.

Then, like a startled little rabbit, she quickly withdrew her hand and shook her head, replying, "No, senior."

"I'm just a freshman with terrible grades, how could I possibly deserve your attention?"

sound!

It was inevitable that there was a slight tremor in his voice.

At the same time, his eyes revealed unease and inferiority.

She knew very well that her culinary skills were not outstanding, and she dared not easily accept the invitation from such a senior.

Seeing Tadokoro Megumi's nervous expression, Inui Hinako couldn't help but chuckle. She patted her shoulder and said, "Grades don't fully represent a person's potential."

"The courage and dedication you showed in making this scrambled eggs with tomatoes really showed me your strengths."

"Moreover, your willingness to try to prove yourself with this seemingly ordinary dish on an important topic is a rare quality in itself."

"I believe."

"You have the potential to become an excellent chef."

Tadokoro Megumi felt a warm current surge in her heart after hearing Inui Hinako's words.

She gradually calmed down, her eyes sparkling with emotion.

Although she still had some doubts about her abilities, Hinako Inui's words gave her a glimmer of hope.

Maybe.

I really can...

Go further on the path of cooking.

In this extremely demanding residential training program, Megumi Tadokoro's scrambled eggs with tomatoes was not only a delicious dish, but also an opportunity for her to demonstrate her courage and potential!

But at that moment, a figure came to mind:

Lin Xu!

So she firmly shook her head and refused, saying, "Examiner, thank you so much."

"Although I really want to follow in your footsteps, but... within Totsuki Academy, I feel there are others who are stronger and more capable than you. If I could learn from them..."

"I think my achievements will be quite good by then."

"is it?"

“In your heart.”

"So there's someone even stronger than me!"

Upon hearing this, Inui Hinatako couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

She understood the principle that forced love is never sweet, so she didn't force Tadokoro Megumi on this issue, though she couldn't help feeling resentful.

……

night.

Like a huge black silk ribbon, it silently enveloped the entire world.

As time slowly passed, the night grew deeper, as if an invisible hand was constantly deepening its inky blackness.

The eastern horizon.

A few stars seemed to be gently sprinkled down by a pair of mysterious hands.

Suddenly appearing in this pitch-black night sky, they are like sparkling gems carefully adorning this black blanket.

Although small and inconspicuous, its faint yet unwavering light possesses a magical power.

It can even make the originally dark night sky dazzling.

Every star.

They all seem like tiny glimmers of hope.

It exudes a unique charm in this quiet and mysterious night.

……

at this time.

In the luxurious main building of the hotel, which stands in a prime location in the city, a study tour is in full swing.

After a day of intense assessments, all the students were exhausted.

Their bodies seemed to have all their strength drained away, each step so heavy, as if they were walking on soft cotton instead of a flat surface.

The horrors of residential training programs.

It's only been a little over a day.

These young men and women, who were originally full of youthful energy, were already exhausted from the ordeal.

Their faces were etched with exhaustion; their once rosy cheeks were now pale, and their eyes were filled with weariness and helplessness.

The youthful vibrancy that once shone on their faces has long since vanished without a trace.

Instead, there was endless weariness and confusion!

……

Inside the hotel.

The lights were blinding.

It blatantly illuminated everything, making every corner as bright as day.

The atmosphere, which should have been quiet, started to become a bit noisy.

The students gathered in twos and threes, complaining about how hard the day had been.

"Shouldn't today be over?"

"I ran a lap around the mountain this morning."

"The mountain road was rugged and uneven, and my legs felt like they weren't even mine anymore."

"It was another picnic and outing at noon. I had to prepare the ingredients myself and start the fire to cook. It was so tiring that I could barely keep going."

A thin student rubbed his leg and said with a pained expression.

"I'm so tired!"

"The accommodation and training program will last for six days and five nights."

"The first night wasn't even over yet, and I already felt like I couldn't go on."

"Ugh!"

"Too many words would only bring tears of pain!"

The other students echoed this sentiment, their faces revealing helplessness and frustration.

"I want to sleep, what should I do?"

"Stop talking, my eyelids are drooping too, I feel like I'll fall asleep any second now."

A student with fair skin, delicate features, and a handsome yet gentle demeanor spoke weakly.

He was wearing that distinctive chef's uniform.

His tall and straight figure stood out in the crowd.

But at this moment...

His face was also full of fatigue.

……

Just as the students were complaining.

A handsome figure slowly walked onto the stage inside the hotel.

his appearance.

This immediately caused a sensation among the crowd.

Lin Xu stood there quietly, his gaze sweeping over the students below the stage.

He could clearly see that many students below the stage were looking in his direction with eyes of worship.

after all.

In previous classes.

Lin Xu's superb culinary skills and powerful aura had already earned him the utmost respect from the students.

No one expected that Lin Xu would also appear in everyone's sight during this accommodation and training activity.

At last.

Lin Xu remained silent.

He simply stretched out his long, powerful hand towards the back.

Seeing this, Ms. Chappell, who was behind him, quickly handed him a document.

Lin Xu took the document, quickly glanced at it, and then said expressionlessly, "625 people stayed today."

"It seems that there weren't many students eliminated today."

"All right!"

"Quiet down, everyone."

“It’s getting late, you might be thinking about it.”

"Today's assessments are all over. It's time to take a nice bath and go back to your room for a good rest."

Finish this sentence.

Lin Xu, who had been expressionless, suddenly became extremely serious.

His gaze sharpened, as if he could see into the hearts of every student.

……

"The group of people standing behind me."

“They are members of student clubs from nearby universities, and you can tell from their physiques that they are all very strong.”

"In other words, they are also very..."

"It's edible."

As Lin Xu spoke, he pointed to the group of people behind him.

The group of people were all energetic, burly, and their muscles were faintly visible under the lights.

Some of them were wearing sportswear, and some were wearing casual clothes, but without exception, they all exuded a vibrant energy.

"Yes."

"You will have another assessment tonight."

"And I am the examiner in charge of this test."

Lin Xu's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap, causing a stir in the students' hearts.

Chapter 103 Hell

A noisy atmosphere.

Silence fell as Lin Xu began to speak.

The students' complaints stopped abruptly, their eyes wide with disbelief.

But then things got heated again after he finished speaking.
