Rebirth as a Cooking God

that's all.

A summer vacation has passed.

The weather in September is crisp and clear.

Da da da……

The sound of footsteps echoed along the tree-lined path. Souma Yukihira stood in front of a venue building with a box of kitchen utensils in hand, and took a deep breath.

On the front of the large building, a pair of red banners are aligned left and right, hanging from the spire almost to the ground.

Read from left to right:

The 43rd Autumn Selection Cooking Competition.

Uh-oh!

Yukihira Souma walked under the building, where many returning Totsuki students had gathered.

Is this between the moon and the sky?

This is my first time here...what a spectacular building!

Yes, yes! It's much more spectacular than on TV! The last time Lecturer Xia and Tamagawa Ayakashi faced off, we could only watch it in the dormitory, but this time we can finally sit in the live audience!

Many first-year students showed excitement.

Look, it's Yukihira Soma—

Many people pointed at the transfer students who were present.

As one of the important generals of Jixingliao, Yukihira Soma is somewhat famous in the school.

Of course, apart from Kei Isshiki, the one who is talked about the most in Jokusei Ryo is Morita Maki. Someone broke the news about Morita Maki and Xia Yu's close relationship on the forum, causing a crowd of people to watch.

Moreover, Morita Maki, Nakiri Erina, and Nito Hisako are very close, and their grades are among the best, which makes many course instructors very optimistic.

Ever since, Cinderella, who came to Yuanyue Palace as a transfer student, put on her glass slippers and gradually gained a halo.

This will also be an important step in Morita Maki's transformation.

Entered 'between the moon and the sky'.

From the first grade to the third grade, all Totsuki students gathered here, making a lot of noise.

Yukihira Soma stopped and looked up at the auditorium above the venue.

The dining room was empty, so one could easily glance across the seats to the individual portraits hanging on the wall behind them.

These are the personal portraits of the first of the ten outstanding figures of the past dynasties.

There is Dojima Gin, who is familiar to Hira Soma, but his position is relatively far back.

There is also Kojiro Shinomiya in issue 79.

Standing in the venue, I realized that everything here is completely different from the past! Xingping Soma looked around and thought to himself, The size of the venue, the number of audiences... Not only that, there are also foreseeable... The atmosphere in the stadium is full of enthusiasm, and it feels like the war is about to break out!”

Soma-kun!

A playful hello.

Yoshino Yuki came with a smile and waved, and Sakaki Ryoko followed with a soft smile.

Gradually, everyone in Ji Xing Lao gathered again.

Yo--

Xiao Hui! Long time no see!

Yoshino Yuki swooped up, put her arms around Tazoe's neck, and moved closer to her intimately, rubbing her cheeks against each other. Yuki even playfully blew her breath into Xiao Megumi's ear.

Tadokoro's face turned red, she was so pretty and cute.

Everyone seems to have the smell of spices on their bodies and fingers!

Morita Maki said with a smile.

The group of people sniffed themselves, then sniffed others, and smiled.

Sure enough!

It seems that everyone is working hard! Morita said.

At this time, Yukihira Soma squinted his eyes and saw Ryo Hayama, the god's sense of smell standing not far away with his hands in his trouser pockets and a stinking look on his face, so he walked over and said hello, Hayama!

The wings of his nose moved imperceptibly.

Ye Shanliang glanced at it and said calmly: It seems that you have indeed studied hard.

of course!

Yukihira Souma laughed and said: That's because I want you, the guy who claims to be the incarnation of curry, to taste the extremely delicious curry I cooked by myself!

snort!

Ye Shanliang looked disdainful and didn't bother to say more.

He looked past Yukihira, scanned the people in Jixing Residence, and suddenly asked: Are you the strongest in your dormitory?

The strongest?

Xingping scratched his face, How should I put it...

Who is that girl named Maki Morita? Ryo Hayama asked again, squinting slightly.

That! Xingping raised his finger.

So, the 'God's Smell' left Souma Yukihira behind and stepped forward to stand in front of Morita Maki.

Morita Maki knows Hayama Ryo.

She is not a confused person like Tadokoro, she has always been serious and meticulous. After spending a semester with Ye Shanliang in Xia Yu's class, she did her homework seriously.

Again.

Privately, Xia Yu told her more than once that Ye Shanliang was a big mountain in Yuanyue School.

After conquering him, the top ten will follow.

Hayama-san, is something wrong? Morita Maki asked.

I heard that you and Professor Xia have a close relationship?

Ye Shanliang's eyes were strange, showing strong aggression.

Morita Maki nodded naturally.

There is indeed a close relationship.

Ex-girlfriend, plus childhood sweetheart, the strongest identity.

Ha, that's just right. If I defeat you, I can prove to him my excellence! Ye Shanliang chuckled nervously, I will defeat you, trample you hard under my feet, climb to the top of Yuanyue, and then …”

Then?

Morita Maki blinked.

Challenge him again!

A group of people were speechless.

In particular, Tadokoroe and Yukihira Souma, who knew that Ryo Hayama had lost a battle with curry, couldn't help but sweated because of Ryo Hayama's character who couldn't beat the nougat.

But, I don't want to lose! Morita Maki looked into Hayama Ryo's extremely aggressive eyes, I actually want to stand by his side and stop more people like you... who don't know their own abilities!

Um? !

Ye Shanliang's eyes widened with anger.

Boom!

Suddenly, a sound came from the speakers on the stage of the guild hall.

Everyone who is here, you have been waiting for a long time!

Please turn your attention to the stage, and let us ask the commander-in-chief of our college to give the opening speech for this conference——

Nakiri Senzaemon is on stage.

Everyone!

He said, This venue is commonly known as 'Yue Tian Jian'. Originally, this was the academy's iconic venue that was only used by the Shokatsuki among the Ten Elites... Many famous duels and many must-have dishes were born here... …”

Totsuki's students immediately thought of the huge showdown a month ago.

Top Chef VS Top Chef.

The must-kill Peacock Dance VS the must-kill Seven-Colored Sea!

With just such a sentence, the 60 first-year students who are about to participate in the autumn selection are already excited.

First of all, only students who pass the preliminaries are qualified to stand on this stage!

The freshmen of the 92nd batch, I hope you can write another glorious chapter and open a new history for us in Yuanyue!

As soon as the words fell, there was a wave of applause.

Next, let's explain the rules of the preliminaries——

Nakiri Senzaemon exited the stage, and the sweet voice of the female announcer came from the loudspeaker.

The topic is Curry Dishes!

“You can use ingredients provided at the venue, or you can prepare your own!”

The cooking time per person is limited to 3 hours!

Of the 60 first-year students who participated in the preliminaries, only eight were able to advance to the official elimination round!

The venue fell silent immediately.

Sixty people are divided into two groups AB, ranked by scores, and the top four in each group are automatically selected, a total of eight people.

Backstage.

Xia Yu and Dojima Gin were sitting in a rest room.

Nakiri Erina stood with her arms folded, with a broadcast screen in front of her.

Seeing the scene of the first-year students preparing in panic, Nakiri Erina said to Xia Yu dullly: ...Why are you so sure that this must be the best autumn selection in Totsuki's history?

Xia Yu smiled.

He raised his hand and spread his palm.

In the palm of my hand, there is a green leaf, which seems to have just been picked from the branch.

The strong fragrance instantly covered the entire rest room.

This is……

Nakiri Erina lost her voice.

I'm back home, two updates today.
