Bring some Bankai ingredients to Shokugeki

Xu Kangping put down the empty bowl in his hand with a satisfied look on his face.

There was still some residual soup on the edge of the bowl.

Then, Xu Kangping slowly stood up and left the store.

Getting ready to head to the next store to explore more delicious food.

Originally, Xu Kangping was traveling with Soma Yukihira and Takumi.

However, Soma Yukihira and Takumi seemed too "restrained" when it came to delicious food, and they ate too little.

As a result, the two of them had to be very selective when tasting delicious food.

I have to think carefully about every store and consider many factors before deciding whether to try it.

But Xu Kangping is completely different. He accepts all kinds of delicious food.

As long as it feels good, I am willing to try it.

In this case, the three of them naturally cannot act in unison.

So Xu Kangping simply separated from the two and embarked on a journey to find delicious food alone.

Xu Kangping ate from one restaurant to another.

Before I knew it, I had been eating until the evening.

The sunset on the horizon is like a gorgeous painting, giving the entire city a layer of charming color.

Xu Kangping felt a little regretful. He thought that he would have to find two or three more stores to try the food.

While looking for a shop, Xu Kangping accidentally came to a remote place.

There was no sign of anything, and the streets seemed very deserted.

Originally, Xu Kangping was planning to leave immediately.

After all, it doesn't seem likely that this remote place would hide delicious food.

However, the moment he turned around, he keenly smelled a very fragrant scent.

The smell was like an invisible thread that instantly hooked his olfactory nerves.

Even though it's just the taste.

But Xu Kangping was sure that this was definitely much better than the food in the restaurants he had eaten at before.

The sudden surprise instantly aroused Xu Kangping's interest, and his eyes lit up as if he had discovered a treasure.

Without hesitation, I followed the faint fragrance and searched all the way.

Finally, we arrived at a store with a sign that only said "restaurant".

The aroma became stronger and stronger, wafting continuously from the store.

................................................

Xu Kangping pushed open the slightly old door and stepped into the store.

The store was silent at this time, with only a young man who looked a little lazy eating the food in front of him.

However, because the young man was wearing a chef's uniform, Xu Kangping did not consider him as a guest.

When Xu Kangping pushed the door open, the creaking sound startled the young man.

Hanakata spoke in a flat tone without even looking up.

"The store is not open yet. Please come back around midnight."

Hearing this, Xu Kangping couldn't help but frown and muttered softly.

"A late-night chef?"

Normal chefs wouldn't let guests come at midnight.

Therefore, there is only one possibility, that this young man is a late-night cook.

Speaking of which, he had already known about the late-night cook.

I also know that these late-night chefs exist in certain corners of many cities.

But I never had the chance to meet him before.

I didn't expect to meet you here this time.

However, the timing of his arrival seemed a bit unfortunate, as it was only evening and not late at night yet.

Hearing Xu Kangping's muttering, Hanakata seemed to be touched and suddenly looked up at Xu Kangping.

After seeing Xu Kangping's young and energetic face, Hanaka Tianyi was obviously stunned.

This made Hanakataichi feel surprised.

After a brief moment of daze, Hanakataichi's face suddenly showed a thoughtful expression.

His eyes looked back and forth at Xu Kangping.

Then, he looked at Xu Kangping uncertainly and said.

"A student from Totsuki?"

..........................................

Most people may know about the promotion exams for Totsuki students, but they don't pay too much attention to it.

However, Totsuki Academy's influence in the culinary world cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, it has attracted the attention of many people in the industry.

In fact, any student who can successfully advance to the second grade at Totsuki Academy.

They all have great talent in cooking.

Therefore, many people in the industry have the idea of ​​recruiting one or two.

Of course, there are also those who are simply curious.

As a late-night cook, Hanakata Ichi has also heard about the matters related to the promotion examination of Totsuki Academy.

He also knew that the city where he was located was chosen as one of the examination sites for the Totsuki Academy's promotion examination.

The exam time is set for these two days.

Although Xu Kangping was not wearing a chef's uniform, Hanaka Tianyi still had a vague feeling that Xu Kangping was a chef, and it seemed that his cooking skills were quite good.

Young and good at cooking.

Naturally, Hanakata thought of the students from Totsuki.

However, although there are many speculations, we cannot be sure that Xu Kangping is a student of Totsuki Academy based on these alone.

That's why he asked in a questioning tone.

Xu Kangping didn't know how Hanakataichi guessed that he was a student of Totsuki.

But Xu Kangping did not intend to deny it and answered very straightforwardly.

"Yes, I am indeed a student of Totsuki."

..........................................

After getting the confirmation, Hanakata's mouth corners slightly raised, and an interested look appeared on his face.

The look he gave Xu Kangping was also full of curiosity.

"You're really a student from Totsuki, interesting."

"I didn't expect that as a student of Totsuki Academy, you actually knew about the existence of us late-night cooks."

You know, the group of late-night cooks does not have a positive image in the public's perception.

Totsuki Academy has always attached great importance to its reputation and teaching quality.

Naturally, they would not take the initiative to mention their existence to their own students.

But Xu Kangping was able to recognize it immediately.

Hanakataichi was a little curious about how Xu Kangping found out about this group of chefs hiding in the dark.

Did you hear it by chance?

Or on some unknown special occasion?

Or through...

"I just heard about it by chance."

Xu Kangping said nonchalantly, with a hint of boredom in his eyes.

"Then I won't bother you anymore."

Having said that, Xu Kangping turned around without hesitation and prepared to leave.

He had no habit of forcing others to cook, so it was obviously meaningless for him to stay here.

"Wait a moment."

Hanaka Tianyi suddenly called out to Xu Kangping.

Xu Kangping stopped and turned around, only to see that Hanaka Tianyi's eyes were full of provocation.

Under Xu Kangping's gaze, Hanakata said with some contempt.

"I heard that all the students at Totsuki Academy are geniuses, but I don't believe it."

"Would you like to have a, um, game of Shokugeki that you guys at Totsuki Academy call shokugeki?"

Xu Kangping frowned. He had no interest in competing with Hanaka Tianyi.

If you have this time, you might as well eat more delicious food.

Just when Xu Kangping was about to refuse.

Hanakataichi continued immediately.

"Of course, if you're scared, forget it."
