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

Page 85

In the original storyline.

If it weren't for wanting to see a sequel to the comic.

She would never agree to Soma Yukihira's request to taste the food.

And there are very few students who can gain Erina's approval through their cooking!

Speaking of Mito Ikumi, she has blonde hair, just like Erina, but her skin is more brownish.

And that full bust.

And she often wears Western-style clothing with a high degree of exposure.

This allowed her to interpret the essence of "meat" in both her culinary style and her image.

Her nickname is "Meat Charm".

……

Mito is an expert in meat cooking.

They naturally know how to use A5 grade Wagyu beef to make delicious teriyaki steak.

Therefore, when Erina finished the last bite of steak, she felt an intense sense of happiness, from the tip of her tongue to her throat, and from her throat to her stomach... her whole body felt comfortable!

"You've made a lot of progress, Mito."

"You are indeed very talented in the handling and use of meat, and you are one of the few who can be criticized by my God Tongue!"

Then, wipe your mouth with a clean napkin.

Erina, having recovered from the experience, couldn't help but look up at Yumi and said seriously.

"Excessive praise."

"This kind of teriyaki steak dish."

"Apart from the high-quality A5 grade beef, the other ingredients and seasonings used are all cheap products."

"Therefore, I actually think that dishes of this caliber are hardly worthy of the God's Tongue!"

Looking at the empty ceramic plate, Mito Ikumi, who had been silently watching from the side, was flattered and said.

……

"The quality of the food."

“Even the tongue of God can analyze things in detail, so you don’t need to be so humble.”

Upon hearing this, Erina quickly waved her hand in response.

Mito Ikumi was flattered, and the ahoge (cowlick) on her head twitched slightly, making her look even more adorable!

After all, she was happy to have Erina try her teriyaki steak at this opportunity.

I dare not hope that Erina will say a few words of praise.

Therefore.

At this moment.

It could be because of the food, or it could be because of Erina's personal charm.

In short, her heart... was incredibly excited!

……

"Fei Sha."

"Has Konishi Kanichi, the leader of that rice bowl research association, received our food battle challenge yet?"

At this moment, Erina had just finished eating teriyaki steak.

Remembering something particularly important, she unconsciously looked up and asked Hisako.

“This…that…” Hisako hesitated for a moment, then calmly said, “I received the challenge, but his attitude is always ambiguous and he seems to be trying to delay.”

"Procrastination? No wonder you don't even have the courage to challenge me?"

Erina murmured to herself.

It's probably because of the previous incident of abolishing the Ramen Research Association that they all have a deep sense of fear towards themselves, and they all avoid each other!

"Mito, I'll leave the matter of abolishing the Rice Bowl Research Association to you for now!"

Mito Ikumi paused, surprised that Erina had entrusted her with such an important task, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"work hard."

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

After saying that, Erina got up and brushed past Mito Ikumi.

Mito turned to look at the receding figure, clenching her fist tightly, her eyes resolute as she said, "Don't worry!"

"Young Miss, I... I will definitely take care of the Rice Bowl Research Association for you."

……

Only through competition can progress be made.

Totsuki Culinary Academy's philosophy has always been to train and compete students so that they can eventually create their own signature dish!

Especially in the higher education section, the environment becomes even more brutal. Going to school, cooking a dish, every student is constantly on edge.

however.

Is there anything wrong with this kind of environment?

Or, is this "elite education" model an extreme?

Ultimately, Totsuki Academy is just a cooking school.

Since it's about cooking, there's no absolute right or wrong. Take Erina from the Elite Ten, for example. Later on, she got slapped in the face by various "slaps" in the face at the Polar Star Dormitory.

The Tongue of God is amazing, isn't it?

But in front of lecturer Lin Xu, they're nothing but bullshit!

Of course, while there is no right or wrong in cooking, there are differences in skill level.

This is similar to what is taught in regular schools; apart from some aspects of the history of various countries being debatable, almost everything else is the truth.

1+1=2, right?

Is the chemical formula for H20O correct?

Gravitational acceleration, right?

Therefore, there is absolutely no comparison between them.

If it were truly like the egalitarian education implemented after the Azami Nakiri coup, where cooking was taught using a cramming method.

If everyone is an "elite," then where does the concept of "elite" come from?

……

Commander-in-Chief Senzaemon Nakiri once said this.

"At least 99% of the students at Totsuki Academy are outcasts of that 1%!"

In other words, the number of students who can successfully graduate from the higher education program each year can be counted on one hand.

Such a low graduation rate.

Logically speaking, not many people should apply.

However, judging from the original plot, there are still a lot of students applying to this tea house culinary academy every year.

There have even been instances where children were rejected during the entrance exams, and their parents pleaded desperately, offering to spend a fortune to pull strings, only to be met with a firm refusal from the Totsuki official team!

Megumi Tadokoro, a gentle girl from the countryside.

I was so excited when I received my acceptance letter from Totsuki Academy that I couldn't sleep all night!

If you want to build a career or pursue graduation, there are definitely plenty of culinary schools to choose from in Japan, so why does everyone only focus on Totsuki Culinary School?

Obviously.

In the subconscious.

Everyone actually approves of Totsuki Academy's educational model.

And those parents who are willing to send their children to Totsuki are all aware of this!

After all, a solid personal foundation is important, but to reach the pinnacle of the culinary industry, one must have their own unique set of skills.

The students who manage to fight their way out of Totsuki Academy naturally all develop their own style and creativity.

……

along the way.

Erina remained somewhat silent.

His expression shifted constantly, a mix of joy, sorrow, anger, and sadness, before finally settling into a long sigh, and his expression returned to normal.

Hisako, who was following closely behind, couldn't help but feel worried about her condition.

quite a while.

Erina suddenly asked, "School has already started, right?"

"School must have started. The entrance ceremony is already over. Miss, have you lost your mind...?"

Upon hearing this, Hisako's expression became even more panicked.

"Ugh!"

"Then why?"

Erina sighed and continued, "So far, Lin Xu still hasn't returned to Totsuki?"

"Tell me, isn't he a complete jerk?"

"He made a solemn promise to me that he would continue to serve as a lecturer in the new semester and be responsible for teaching the first-year students in the senior high school."

"But even after school started, there was still no news from him!"

If you listen carefully, you can hear a hint of resentment and hatred in his tone.

"Hmm! Maybe...maybe he still has some things to take care of, or maybe his flight was delayed or something, which prevented him from returning to Far Moon on time..."

Hisako was in a dilemma, after all, she couldn't bring herself to secretly help criticize Lin Xu.

thus.

They could only come up with some random excuses.

Try to find a way to gloss over the situation and exonerate Lin Xu.

"I hope things are as you say."

Erina paused, her voice tinged with helplessness, but her eyes shone with a hint of reminiscence. Then she continued on her light-footed journey away.

Hisako shrugged helplessly, then quickly followed and chose to leave together.

……

nightfall.

Like a huge black cloth, it heavily shrouded Totsuki Academy.

The Gothic building silhouetted against the night sky, its spires soaring as if trying to pierce the thick darkness.

The school gate.

There were two dim streetlights.

It tried its best, but to no avail, to dispel the surrounding darkness and cast two blurry, ambiguous halos of light.

Just then, a sleek, jet-black sedan, like a ghost in the night, silently glided to the school gate and came to a steady stop.

then.

The car door slowly opened.

A foot wearing an elegant black leather shoe stepped out first.
