Chapter 82 The Endless Wilderness

"As expected of the "Sakura Country", the cherry blossoms dancing all over the streets are really beautiful."

Walking on the long ramp, Li Xiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Indeed, because the temperature is higher than in previous years, the cherry blossoms are a little earlier this year, which coincides with the start of school."

Nakiri Erina gently brushed away the cherry blossom petals that fell on her shoulders.

Today is the first day of school in Totsuki. Because many people came to watch the ceremony, in order to avoid car accidents and other dangers, the street in front of the academy is temporarily closed to general vehicles today.As the heir of the largest school management family, Nakiri Erina naturally wanted to lead by example, so she brought Li Xiang and Nido Hisako into the academy on foot.

Li Xiang touched his blue school uniform, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"The schools in the eleventh district are really willing to work hard on the school uniforms. They are indeed much better looking than the clothes of the Celestial Dynasty."

Due to the different national conditions, the school uniforms in District [-] are generally divided into two types, one is a formal style, and the overall style is similar to a casual suit.The other is sportswear.

Schools in District [-] inculcate some code of conduct awareness in their students from an early age.School uniform is one of them. Students need to change different clothes according to the occasion, change indoor shoes in the teaching building, wear formal clothes during cultural classes and various formal activities, and change sports clothes during sports.

As for the design of the school uniform itself, major schools often hire designers to design the clothes to be beautiful and distinctive.Generally speaking, different schools have different school uniforms, so that when students in District [-] choose a school for further studies, whether the school uniform looks good or not will also be taken into consideration, and it also accounts for a large proportion.

In District [-], it really happens that students choose a school because of the good-looking school uniform.And because the [-]th District is currently mired in the quagmire of declining birthrates, the major schools have spent a lot of thought in attracting students, and the design of school uniforms has also put a lot of thought into it.

Closer to home, before officially enrolling, Li Xiang obtained a set of Totsuki Academy uniforms through the Nakiri family.

In the original Chinese medicine king, he always wears clothes with his restaurant’s logo on them, which makes Li Xiang feel weird. Everyone is wearing school uniforms, so why don’t you wear them? Can the protagonist halo do whatever he wants?
Well, with the aura of the protagonist, you can really do whatever you want.

But Li Xiang doesn't want to stand out from the crowd like Soma Yukihira, so he should just wear the school uniform honestly.

One after another, the students arrived at the open-air venue for the Entrance Ceremony of Yuanyue Academy.The venue gradually began to fill up with people.

Nakiri Erina brought Li Xiang to the side of the venue.A "compartment" concealed by a white drapery.

In the cubicle, Xing Pingchuang really hugged his bag and dozed off while sitting on a chair.

Hearing the movement around him, Xing Ping Chuangzhen woke up:

"Oh? You're here too?"

Li Xiang waved his hand with a smile, and Nakiri Erina nodded in response.

Nakiri Erina said: "The two of you are the only transfer students this year. Later, you need to come to the stage to give a speech. I told Emiya a few days ago. I am not very worried, but you, Xinghei Soma—— "

Nakiri Erina looked into Kohei Soma's eyes:
"I didn't have the chance to tell you before. Now there is still some time. You can think about what you want to say."

"Huh? What can I do? I'm not good at this kind of thing."

Xing Ping Chuangzhen scratched his head in distress.

"Actually, it's nothing. Don't look at the huge audience below looking at you. In fact, they don't listen carefully to what you have to say. Just say something fluently. If you are still nervous, then I I will teach you a way, and you can treat all the students and teachers below as stones or carrots."

"Carrot?" Xing Ping Chuangzhen laughed so hard that he suddenly realized:
"Huh? Emiya, when did you speak Japanese so well?"

Before Li Xiang could answer, Nakiri Erina said:

"Oh, I'm also very surprised. I really want to dissect Emiya's brain structure to see how it works. She has only been in Japan for a week, but she has actually learned basic daily conversations."

"Miss Erina, is it not good for you to say that about me?"

Li Xiang had a complicated expression.

"It's okay, I believe in your mental capacity. I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first, you two remember to prepare to speak!"

After asking again, Nakiri Erina walked out.

The entrance ceremony began soon. According to the usual practice, Senzaemon Nakiri, who is the head of the school, gave a speech on behalf of the faculty and staff.

Ceremonies always include speeches by leaders, and this is not just the case in China, it is probably the case all over the world.

"Hello students of Totsuki High School, today is the day of admission to our school. Originally, I shouldn't throw cold water on you on such a beautiful and significant day when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, but..."

Nakiri Senzaemon's expression became solemn.

"What I have to tell you is that Yuanyue is certainly a sacred place for training chefs. As we all know, the students who graduated from Yuanyue are all over the famous hotels, resorts, Michelin star hotels and other excellent jobs. As you all know, Yuan Yue's qualifications will be a proud part of a young chef's resume."

"However, what I also want you to know is that—in fact, most of you should already know this fact—Yuanyue's graduation rate is unimaginably low."

"Most of you came straight from the junior high school of Yuanyue. In the past three years, you have studied a variety of courses including hotel management, nutrition, and food toxicology. Of course, there are The most important foundation of a chef is cooking skills.”

"I believe that most of you are the best of your generation, which is one of the reasons why you are here."

"You are outstanding people, but I am very sorry to inform you that a large part of you will be dropped out of school. In the next three years, you may be eliminated due to various reasons. 99% of you are Abandonment that exists to polish the last remaining 1%.”

Having said that, Nakiri Senzaemon paused for a few seconds, and looked around the audience with serious eyes.The expressions of the students are also very serious.

"but--"

Nakiri Senzaemon's voice became louder, and his emotions became agitated:

"Although this is the case, I have always believed in one thing, that is, the best talents in the world must be carefully selected from thousands of people. Although you are all different people, now you have stood The same starting line. Although there is a chance of being eliminated, it is also a precious opportunity."

A wild smile appeared on Nakiri Senzaemon's lion-like face:

"You will be able to truly prove your abilities. Only the truly strong and truly talented people can survive in Yuanyue. After these three years of training and elimination, the remaining people will be able to hold their heads high and say Say something like 'I am one of dozens of people who stood out from hundreds of people, and in the field of chefs, I am the best who beat hundreds of people'."

"This is Yuanyue Academy. This is not a comfortable place. But it is a melting pot. After forging, you, the best of you, will truly become powerful chefs."

"Cooking is a shimmering golden wilderness. You are the explorers of this golden wilderness. I wish you all can find your own value at the end of this wilderness."
