Food: At the start, fish for Gourmet Food in Totsuki.

Although they all felt that there was something wrong with Shinomiya Kojiro's topic, no one dared to question it. After all, Shinomiya Kojiro was the examiner and had absolute power. If he was unhappy, he could just tell you to get out with just one word.

In their eyes, although Lin Yu defeated the top ten and had superb cooking skills, Shinomiya Kojiro was a graduate of the top ten, and he graduated first, and achieved many achievements after graduation.

Without knowing the relationship between Lin Yu and the Nakiri family, in their eyes, Lin Yu's actions were purely courting death.

"What the hell is this guy thinking? How dare he talk to Shinomiya-senpai like that? Isn't he afraid of being expelled?!"

Takumi, who had already passed the test, was also confused at this time.

"Ayu, are you really okay?"

Tanomo Kei, who also passed the test, looked at Lin Yu and Shinomiya Kojiro nervously. However, just as everyone was constantly guessing what would happen in the next second, the door of the classroom was pushed open.

"Dojima-senpai?!"

The students were all shocked when they saw Gin Dojima, even Kojiro Shinomiya was the same, wondering why Gin Dojima appeared here at this time.

"Leave this matter to me. Sigong, Linyu, come with me. The results of today's assessment will be invalidated. Someone will take you to the next assessment later."

After saying that, Dojima Gin turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Dojima-senpai, what do you mean? I'm in charge of this assessment..."

Shinomiya Kojiro was a little upset. What about the promise to give graduates enough power? Why didn't they acknowledge it now and even invalidate the results of their own assessment?

However, before Shinomiya Kojiro could finish his words, he saw Dojima Gin staring at him with a stern gaze.

Dojima Gin has been in a high position for many years and has developed a very strong aura. With just a look from him, Shinomiya Kojiro didn't dare to continue talking. In the end, he could only choose to leave with Dojima Gin and Lin Yu.

"I didn't expect Dojima-senpai to show up, so I wonder what will happen in the end!"

At this time, the curiosity of the students present was aroused, and the development of this matter was completely beyond their imagination.

At the beginning, they thought that Lin Yu would be expelled for causing trouble, but before Shinomiya Kojiro could say anything, Dojima Gin suddenly appeared and took the two away.

Why did Lin Yu dare to provoke Shinomiya Kojiro? Why did Dojima Gin appear here directly? What will happen next?

These questions kept lingering in the students' minds.

But before they could think about it, the people arranged by Dojima Gin arrived and took them away to take part in the next test.

And this news spread among students in a very short time.

"Ayu took the initiative to provoke Shinomiya Kojiro? How is that possible? Ayu is not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble."

After hearing the news, the people in Polar Star Dormitory were also very surprised and worried, but this worry was quickly dispelled by Alice Nakiri.

Alice Nakiri is very clear about the importance of Lin Yu to the Nakiri family. In comparison between the two, the Nakiri family will only abandon Shinomiya Kojiro, and there will be no other result.

And judging from the time when Dojima Gin appeared, Dojima Gin should have been paying attention to what was happening here, otherwise he would not have rushed to the scene and taken the two away in the first place.

So Alice Nakiri guessed that Lin Yu did this entirely because of Dojima Gin. As for the specific reason, she would have to wait until evening to ask Lin Yu to find out.

Although Erina Nakiri was also curious, she had no way of confirming what was going on and could only wait and ask Alice Nakiri later.

Not only the students are curious, even the graduates are full of questions, not knowing what exactly happened (oh my god).

Lin Yu and his friends had already arrived at the office under the leadership of Dojima Gin. There were only four people in the office. In addition to Lin Yu and the other three, there was also Roland Chapelle.

"Dojima-senpai, can you please tell me what's going on now?"

Kojiro Shinomiya said somewhat dissatisfiedly that it was Totsuki who invited him to the resort, but now they were depriving him of the rights he should have, which was a bit too much.

"Since we're in front of Professor Chapel, let's talk about your project now, Shinomiya. Although the resort has given you authority, you can't do whatever you want with it."

Dojima Gin said, yes, the resort gives graduates the power to decide whether students stay or leave, but this power must be based on sufficient reasons.

Shinomiya Kojiro's actions undoubtedly went beyond this scope. If he were to do this, wouldn't he be able to just fire anyone he disliked? And what about Totsuki's reputation?

Totsuki's current reputation is the result of a long period of accumulation, and it cannot collapse because of Shinomiya Kojiro.

"That's right, Shigong. There are indeed major problems with your project. Although our original instructions were to allow you to design your own test questions, the design of the topic must also be reasonable."

"Including problematic ingredients tests students' adaptability and knowledge, which is indeed fine. If that's all you do, your project design is excellent."

"But the problem is that you prevented the students from changing your recipes. You used this excuse to eliminate several students who shouldn't have been eliminated. You went a little too far."

Roland Chapelle shook his head. He knew everything about Shinomiya Kojiro.

Chapter 59 Lin Yu: I need a live cow

"Do you also think what I did was wrong? I've heard this many times, but I've experienced it all myself. I left school full of ambition, but the result wasn't a chance to show my talents, but to be ruthlessly trampled upon!"

The veins on Shinomiya Kojiro's forehead bulged. Back then, he was very successful in Totsuki, but after entering society, he was hit hard by society.

At that time, Kojiro Shinomiya realized that his previous thoughts were too naive, so after achieving certain achievements, he began to replicate the chef who had dealt with him that year.

There are actually several reasons why Shinomiya Kojiro suffered such an outcome. First of all, he was the top seat in Totsuki back then, just like Si Yingshi today, and was highly respected.

Moreover, he had enormous power in Totsuki, which resulted in all of this power disappearing after he left school. This huge sense of gap is not something that everyone can adapt to immediately.

The second point is that he went abroad. Totsuki is very famous in Sakura, but not so internationally.

Moreover, Shinomiya Kojiro has very bad luck and meets bad people. The more outstanding he is, the more he can threaten the other party's position.

If you meet someone who values ​​talents, Shinomiya Kojiro will definitely teach him seriously, but if you meet a bad person, it will be completely different.

This bastard hopes that Shinomiya Kojiro will be devastated and unable to recover.

Totsuki's Top Ten system actually has both advantages and disadvantages. The good thing is that it can cultivate students' management skills, and the resources that can be mobilized after becoming the Top Ten can make their culinary skills improve by leaps and bounds.

But on the other hand, once they leave school, they lose this power and need to adapt to this gap.

In fact, the system of the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki also has its own little ideas. Totsuki gives the Ten Great Masters enough power in order to train management for themselves. Dojima Gin is the best example.

If you choose to stay and work under the Nakiri family after graduation, then the Nakiri family can naturally provide you with a good position. Although your power will still be discounted, it is better than having nothing at all.

Even if you don't stay in Totsuki and choose to open your own store, Totsuki's reputation can bring you enough convenience.

As for those who choose to go abroad and cannot use it for themselves, then they can only wish for the best. Dojima Gin is very smart. He chose to stay in Sakura from the beginning, so 443 now has such a position.

If Kojiro Shinomiya had chosen to stay and develop for a while before looking outward, perhaps things would be much better than they are now.

"It's normal, isn't it? Because you've already left school. Although Totsuki's system is very cruel, it's still a school after all. As a school, it will protect students like you."

"When you enter society, this protection will naturally no longer exist. You should be mentally prepared for this."

"Right now, you're facing a group of students. Indeed, they're destined to enter society in the future. When they do, they might suffer the same huge losses as you did back then."

"But that's something that will happen later, after they leave school, not now. Shinomiya, don't confuse the campus with society. These are two completely different groups."

Roland Chapelle shook his head. These old hands had been in the culinary world for a long time and had seen everything.

What Shinomiya Kojiro encountered is not uncommon. Totsuki has always been cruel, but it still maintains a certain bottom line. Doesn't Totsuki know how cruel society will be in the future?

To put it bluntly, it was all because of Shinomiya Kojiro's own problem. What he said was just an excuse.

It seems that the purpose is to let students experience the dangers of society in advance, but to put it bluntly, it is just to find an excuse for his behavior.

"Shinomiya, your cooking skills have probably been stagnant for a while!"

Just when Shinomiya Kojiro was about to open his mouth to refute, Dojima Gin said something that made Shinomiya Kojiro stand there in a daze.

"It seems like what I said was right. I noticed the problem the last time I tasted your cooking. You deliberately didn't use your full strength because you were afraid that your culinary difficulties would be discovered."

"But sometimes it's useless to try to cover your ears and steal the bell. This time, I invited you to Totsuki not to target you, but for your future."

"Standing still isn't a pleasant feeling. No one wants their cooking skills to stagnate, especially for you. You have a very strong talent. Logically speaking, becoming a top chef is only a matter of time."

"You even had the chance to become a special chef, but now you're stuck at second-class. You can see that if you continue on this trend, Hinatako and the others will soon catch up with you, or even surpass you."

Dojima Gin's words were like a sharp knife piercing Shinomiya Kojiro's heart.

"You mean you found the reason why I'm stuck?"

After a moment of silence, Shinomiya Kojiro asked, since Dojima Gin invited him because he wanted to help him solve the problem, it meant that Dojima Gin knew the reason.

"You've realized it yourself, but you just can't accept it. You don't allow others to change your recipes, and you've become complacent and immersed in your past glory."

"As a chef, if you want to improve, you need to learn. My old friend, Makoto Ichiro Tsaiba, earned the title of wandering chef because he travels all over the world."

"Back then, my cooking skills weren't as good as his. I lost more than I won when compared to him, but at least I still had a chance to win. But now, he has become a special chef, and I am still a first-class chef."

"It's not entirely a talent gap. Over the years, I've focused a lot of my energy on resort management. I've stayed in one place and rarely learned anything new."

"My situation is somewhat similar to yours, except that I'm very aware of this and try to find time to learn, so my cooking skills are still improving, even if the progress is very slow."

"But you are different. You are completely unwilling to accept new knowledge. That is why you are stagnant."

"Among those students you judged as unqualified, a small number further processed the problematic ingredients using their own methods."

"They modified your recipe and added their own creativity, so the final dish might not be as delicious as the one made according to your recipe."

"But have you ever considered that if you don't change the recipe, the dish you end up making with questionable ingredients will just be a defective product, worthless."

Dojima Gin said a lot in one breath, and his words were indeed very reasonable. He also pointed out the problem of Shinomiya Kojiro, but at this time Shinomiya Kojiro's face was still conflicted, and even a little distorted.

"Still don't understand? Then Shinomiya, have a match with Lin Yu, an informal food battle."

Seeing Shinomiya Kojiro like this, Dojima Gin couldn't help but shook his head. It seemed that Lin Yu was still needed to defeat this guy. It was still too difficult to deal with this guy with simple words.

"Compared to him? I admit that he is indeed very good, and he can no longer be called a student. But Dojima-senpai, aren't you underestimating me a little too much? Even though I have stagnated, I am still a second-rate chef!"

After hearing what Dojima Gin said, Shinomiya Kojiro's expression became a little distorted again. In his opinion, Lin Yu was indeed very strong, but there was still some gap when he wanted to compare with him.

"Don't underestimate Lin Yu. Although he's a third-rate chef and a little behind you, you're still inferior to him in many aspects."

Dojima Gin smiled and said that in addition to his invincible pyrotechnics, Lin Yu also had other special qualities, such as the information he learned from his previous communication with Nakiri Senzaemon.

Lin Yu made use of the flaws in the cuisine and turned them into a boost to the cooking. He had never heard of this approach before. It can only be said that Lin Yu's cuisine is indeed very special.

The most important reason for inviting Lin Yu to help this time is not only because Lin Yu is the only suitable candidate, but also this point.

“Even so…”

Kojiro Shinomiya was still very reluctant to compete with student Lin Yu.

"Let's have a competition, Shinomiya. Since you think you're right, then prove it to us!"

Just when Shinomiya Kojiro was about to refuse, Roland Chapelle spoke, which really surprised Shinomiya Kojiro and Dojima Gin.

The reason is very simple. Roland Chapelle always follows the rules and will not break them. This is why the graduates kept it a secret from Roland Chapelle during the informal food battle in the original work.

This time, it was because Roland Chapelle already knew about Shinomiya Kojiro's problem, so Dojima Gin spoke in front of Roland Chapelle.

He had already prepared himself to be stopped by Roland Chapelle, but he never expected that Roland Chapelle would take the initiative to persuade Shinomiya Kojiro.

In fact, there were reasons why Roland Chapelle made this decision. The first reason was that he had always been very optimistic about Shinomiya Kojiro and did not want to see Shinomiya Kojiro continue like this.

The second reason is that he is also very interested in Lin Yu. When he was in school before, Lin Yu had the privilege of skipping classes, so after learning about Lin Yu's situation, he has been very curious.

Although he was present during the Ten Elites Battle, he had never tasted Lin Yu's cooking in person. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to try it himself.

Under Roland Chapelle's persuasion, Shinomiya Kojiro also agreed. Dojima Gin smiled at this. It was a good idea. He had originally planned to force Shinomiya Kojiro.

After all, Shinomiya Kojiro has plans to come back to develop, and coming back to develop will inevitably lead to dealing with Totsuki, so he still plans to force the other party, but now that Roland Chapelle has spoken, he doesn't need to do so.

In this way, the informal food battle was established. As for the judges, Dojima Gin also dragged Guan Shouping over. Guan Shouping was responsible for the assessment of the steak set meal, which would be held in the evening.

He is also the only graduate who has nothing to do now. With three judges, he meets the odd number principle.

"They're actually having a food battle, even if it's an informal food battle, it's a bit too much!"

Guan Shouping, who just learned about this, was also confused. Graduates and students were having a food battle, and Roland Chapelle and Dojima Gin both agreed to it. It was unreasonable no matter how you looked at it.

"We'll know whether you messed up or not by the results later. So, the three of us will be the judges for this informal food battle. As for the theme of your food battle, there is only one, and that is innovation. The time limit is two hours."

Dojima Gin spoke up, and this theme also surprised Lin Yu a little. After all, in the original work, when Shinomiya Kojiro and Tanado Megumi were competing in the food battle, the theme was to use leftover vegetables.

But for him, the theme became innovation, and there were no restrictions as to the ingredients.

Lin Yu guessed that Dojima Gin chose the theme of innovation because Shinomiya Kojiro was complacent.

The reason why Tanomo Megumi's cooking in the original work impressed Shinomiya Kojiro was that the dishes she made never forgot the basics, and she also made enough innovations, further modifying Shinomiya Kojiro's recipes.

"Since the ingredients are self-selected, I need a live cow!"

Lin Yu said that Shinomiya Kojiro was a second-rate chef after all. If Lin Yu wanted to defeat him, he naturally needed to show his advantages.

His greatest strengths now lie in his knife and fire skills. He plans to use the Bull-Slashing Technique, but he wants a live bull not to show off his skills.

Instead, it directly slaughters and decomposes the animal, which can perfectly demonstrate the effect of the Bull Blue Dragon Slash.

This secret technique can dismember an entire cow without shedding a drop of blood, completely locking in the essence of the beef.

You know, generally speaking, delicious food will be lost during the slaughtering and decomposition process, so Lin Yu plans to start directly from slaughtering the live cattle.
