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

"real or fake?"

"It's so late, isn't the assessment over yet?"

"Is there any justice in the world? Even a donkey needs to rest, right?"

"Help!"

"I really can't hold on any longer."

"Yeah, I'm exhausted too, how could I possibly have the energy to cook?"

Some students couldn't help but cover their heads in their hands.

Upon closer inspection, their faces were mostly filled with helplessness and despair, and of course, even more so with exhaustion.

……

"Spare me, please?"

"I don't even have the strength to hold a kitchen knife."

"My hands are still shaking now. I can't even chop vegetables, let alone cook."

At this moment, Marui Zenji, a resident of the Polar Star Dormitory, said in despair.

"It really is hell."

"I thought the residential training program would just be a little tiring, but I didn't expect that they wouldn't let us sleep late at night, but instead would continue to assess us!"

Beside her, Ryoko Sakaki, who had a hairstyle that resembled that of an older sister, calmly offered her opinion.

"It's over...it's really over."

"Mom, and my relatives and friends back home, I might really have to drop out of school this time."

"I'm afraid I'll have to let you down."

Tadokoro Megumi spoke with a sob in her voice, her eyes glistening with tears.

Even though we had prepared in advance and knew that this residential training program would not be easy, it was only now that we realized just how difficult it was!

……

"Lecturer Lin Xu."

"Could you tell us what kind of questions you'll be asking?"

Just then, a slightly bolder student mustered up the courage to ask.

Lin Xu smiled slightly, but his smile revealed an undeniable authority: "Each of you should make a steak set meal for fifty people, so that all the university club students can have their fill."

"Although there were only a few people standing behind me."

"But after a while, students from other clubs will arrive quickly, so you don't have to worry about wasting food."

Lin Xu's questions were simple and efficient.

There are no complicated explanations or rules; you just need to make a steak set meal for fifty people.

But this seemingly simple question made the students present gasp in surprise.

"One more thing."

"There is no time limit for this assessment."

"But we won't provide you with dinner. You'll all have to find your own dinner after the assessment."

"In other words, whether you go hungry tonight depends on your abilities."

Lin Xu added another sentence.

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the students' hearts.

"Serves 50 people."

"It's a headache just thinking about it, especially since they haven't even provided us with dinner yet."

"How long will this take? My hands will probably be blistered by then."

Some students cried out in despair once again.

"It's over."

Dinner hasn't been served yet.

"You can only do it yourself after it's over."

"What should I do? I'm so hungry right now, I just want to eat by myself..."

A tired student clutched his stomach and cried out in pain.

"I was already exhausted, and I still had to make steak meals for 50 people. This was going to kill us. I felt like I couldn't keep going and I wanted to give up."

Another student said, looking dejected.

Obviously.

His words stirred up a storm.

All the students present were practically going crazy.

Such harsh questions are simply outrageous; are they trying to kill us?

……

Time slips away slightly.

In the spacious and bright kitchen, yet a tense atmosphere permeates the air.

A unique steak set meal preparation assessment is underway.

The steak set meal is a Western-style combination that cleverly combines tender and juicy steak, refreshing vegetables, sweet and crunchy radishes, golden and tempting fried eggs, and chewy Italian pasta.

Not only does it taste delicious and tempting, but it also comes in a variety of styles to choose from.

However, what should have been a delightful process of culinary creation turned into a difficult challenge for the students.

This assessment.

There are clear requirements regarding preparation and production time.

Preparation time should be kept within 10 minutes, and the cooking time should also not exceed 10 minutes.

Fortunately, it can prepare portions for multiple people at once, so from an overall time perspective, completing the assessment task within one hour is not out of the question.

But even so.

Faced with a huge quantity of 50 steak meals.

The students still felt unprecedented pressure.

……

Lin Xu pressed the stopwatch in his hand.

The once quiet kitchen instantly erupted in a flurry of activity.

All the students rushed towards the kitchen counter like arrows released from a bow, the scene resembling a fierce race.

After all, everyone is eager to seize the initiative and win the first place in this assessment.

time!

This moment becomes incredibly precious.

Everyone knew that the faster they completed the task, the more likely they were to achieve better results.

As a result, the kitchen became increasingly chaotic, with everyone pushing and shoving, eager to get the ingredients and tools they needed and start cooking.

"The steak set meal portion felt too small."

"It's fine for you guys to eat, but it's absolutely unacceptable for them, who are all strong and healthy, so... I demand that it be made again!"

Lin Xu, the examiner, stood solemnly in front of the two students, his eyes fixed on the steak sets they had prepared.

He stretched out his hand.

With a light tap of his finger, he pointed out the problem without reservation.

After all, he knew that this assessment was not only a test of the students' cooking skills.

It is also a test of their adaptability and teamwork skills; no detail can be overlooked.

……

The kitchen at this moment.

The space looks very spacious.

However, it was unusually crowded because hundreds of students were constantly busy and university club students kept coming in.

The crowd was dense, shoulder to shoulder, as if it were a grand banquet.

however.

For this group of students.

This place, however, is like hell, extremely oppressive.

"Aren't you going to hurry up?"

"I ordered a 10-point steak set meal. At this rate, how long am I supposed to wait to eat?"

At this time.

A college student from a club shouted loudly.

His voice was particularly loud in the noisy kitchen.

He was tall and robust, with a face as sharp as if carved by a knife, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge, as majestic as a Greek sculpture.

As a strong man, he looked at the busy figures of the Totsuki students in front of him with anxiety and impatience on his face.

"Hey!"

"I've been in line for a long time."

"Could you move a little faster?"

Another student from the club echoed this sentiment.

He was also tall, with his arms crossed over his chest, and his eyes revealed his dissatisfaction.

Obvious.

These are student clubs.

Because of their long-term exercise, they all have a large appetite.

This means that 50 steak meals might just be barely enough to satisfy their hunger, which suddenly increases the students' stress.

……

In a tense atmosphere.

The students' physical strength began to gradually deplete.

"So tired!"

"I can barely lift my hand."

A student rubbed his arm and complained, his forehead covered in sweat and his clothes soaked through.

"I'm so hungry. I haven't had dinner yet. Looking at the steak set meal I made, I feel so weak."

Another student said weakly.

"There are 35 more..."

"Seriously, I can't take it anymore."

among students.

Some people couldn't help but let out a desperate cry.

"It's never finished, never finished, never finished! When will it ever end?"

"I'm about to break down."
