Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"I really miss it! We were still standing there last time, listening to the general manager's speech at the opening ceremony, right?"

Liu Maoxing, who was standing in the first row of the sophomore formation, whispered to Erina.

"Be serious, don't whisper! The first-years are still looking at us!" Erina said helplessly.

At this time, at the opening ceremony of the new school year, the topic of the general manager's speech has changed a lot compared to last year. It mainly includes the content of advocating the cultivation of the spirit of independent innovation. The purpose is self-evident...

As the general counselor, Nakie Ji, did not get the opportunity to give a speech at the beginning of the school year. After all, among the only five seats and ten elites, four seats are in the commander-in-chief department. Jie Seat Battle" has come back!

However, there was no negative expression on Nakiri Ji's face, and he was still sitting on the rostrum with a smirk.

"... Next, I will invite the representatives of this year's internally promoted freshmen to give a speech!" said the commander-in-chief.

Love Liu Maoxing, who was muttering at the bottom when the leader was speaking, whispered to Erina again: "Do you miss it? Last year, you were the one who gave the freshman speech, right?"

Erina knew that this was a bad habit, so she tried her best not to talk to her...

On the other hand, Alice on the other side said in a low voice with the same enthusiasm: "Yes, yes! At that time, someone still said it in a serious way? 'I hope to work together with everyone to inherit and display Yuanyue's educational philosophy' ? Hehehe, how do you say this kind of cliché?"

"You two..."

When Erina was about to erupt, the freshman representative finally came up. He looked like a very dull boy with dark eyes, and he was wearing a windbreaker that looked a bit bloated...

"Hello everyone, I am Haruki Oily Girl. What the commander-in-chief said before is very reasonable. Cooking lies in continuous innovation. The ingredients are limited, but the innovation of cooking is unlimited. Therefore, a real cook can overcome the limitation of ingredients. Go find ingredients outside the realm!

Cookers should not be bound by poultry, livestock, plants, and fungi. I am here to announce that after the official start of school, a new research club will be formed..."

The students below, whether they are first-year students, second-year or third-year students, or students from the Central Gourmet Agency, all have weird expressions.

"What an arrogant new student..."

"Does he think Yuanyue's research agency funding is so easy to get?"

"Because I'm the first freshman, I'm already inflated?"

"I bet he will be beaten to tears by those senior students the next day..."

However, the taunting voices from the students below could not shake the "determination" of the guy on the field. He suddenly opened the windbreaker he was wearing, and his movements were a bit like a nude makeup idiot...

"ah!"

This action indeed attracted the screams of many girls, and even Erina's face was a bit ugly...

Ahem, of course, it wasn't because of some kind of obscenity on display, but because the inside of his windbreaker was actually covered with all kinds of arthropod specimens!

Larger spiders, centipedes, scorpions, and smaller ones with jars of tiny insects like ants!

Under the visual impact, after a short period of silence, everyone below immediately became more noisy, with waves of condemnation...

"These are all the results of my own cultivation in a sterile environment. Are you prejudiced, just because of their appearance, cancel them from the ranks of ingredients? What do you have to do with people who count burdock as a tree root?" the difference?

You can't... wait... Kaori, Keigo, don't drag me... I haven't said the name of the new research agency yet! The New Ingredients Research Club...waiting for your joining..."

When the oil girl was explaining something, she was dragged down by another freshman, a man and a woman who seemed to be his friend.

"Sorry, this guy has brain problems and troubled everyone!" The girl with a ponytail said casually, and together with another boy who looked fat, she put the oily girl Chunshu down.

I can vaguely hear the fat man supporting the oily girl Haruki while saying: "How many times have I said that the big protein of poultry and livestock is justice, and arthropods are too unfavorable..."

"It feels more 'extraordinary' than your speech last year!" Liu Maoxing said with the corners of his eyes shaking.

At the same time, he also asked in confusion: "By the way, you should have known these guys when you were in the middle school, right? How's your level?"

"No, during the three years of the middle school, it's very common to be transferred. The local girls in your dormitory were only transferred in in the second grade of the middle school. These three guys... If it wasn't for the fact that their cooking skills are too ordinary and we don't know them, It should have been joined last year." Alice explained.

"Wait, if it's easy to get into the class... the general counsel's 'plan' was officially exposed half a year ago, which means that he can definitely place students in the middle department half a year in advance?" Mito Yumei, who was behind Liu Maoxing, said suddenly .

Liu Maoxing nodded when he heard the words, and then said: "That's true. But... At least it proves that the representative of the freshmen is not a member of the Central Gourmet Agency, and he still wants to set up a research club by himself... Although how do you look at this 'new food research club' The future is bleak!"

The "rescue" talent of the head coach allows him to act as if nothing happened no matter how embarrassing the situation is...

The commander-in-chief came out solemnly and continued: "Well, it seems that this year's internally promoted freshmen have a lot of ideas... In addition to the 233 internally promoted students this year, there are also 24 externally recruited students. Next, we will invite externally recruited students Speech by the representative."

This year Erina is not self-willed as a foreign recruit judge, unlike last year who directly drove away everyone, but even so, not many qualified people.

"Huh? Wait, isn't the representative Saito Sakura?" At this moment, Liu Maoxing found that Saito Sakura was standing in the foreign recruitment queue with an expression of resentment.

"Huh? Is there anyone you know? A woman?" Erina said sharply.

"It just so happens that she's also in Jixing Liao...but she's very good at cooking, isn't she, Yu Mei?" Liu Maoxing said.

"Yes, it is said that I have traveled the world for five years, and I am not sure that I will win against her." Yu Mei testified.

"To make you say that, it seems that the level is really good, that is to say, there are stronger people among the foreign recruits?" Erina was also puzzled.

Regarding Saito Sakura's strength, Erina didn't show too much surprise. After all, it was the result of "traveling for five years". If she only studied in the middle school and had the current strength, then she would really be a strong opponent!

And under this practice of "early" traveling the world, there is no difference between first-year and second-year students. It is even said that according to their growth path, they are not academics in the first place, so there is no need to enroll...

It is estimated that this year's "Top Ten Seat Competition" has moved some people's minds, so many non-academics have also come to intervene!

Because of the different plans for her growth path, although Saito Sakura seems to be more eye-catching than Erina at this time last year, it will not make her feel any sense of crisis...

It can be said that as a non-academic school, Saito Sakura's best growth period is coming to an end, while academic Erina still has at least two years of best growth period!

And at this time, the representatives of foreign recruits had already stepped onto the stage...

Looking at this girl, she is obviously a girl, but her blond hair looks like a down-and-out samurai. It is randomly tied in a bunch behind her head, and the branches are messy... and she is wearing a bright red kimono-like dress, but the front is not It is very large, revealing the inner clothing faintly...

"Tch! Pay me a little attention to the appearance of the students! Bastard!" Saito Sakura shouted from below.

Well, it would be more convincing if she didn't carry a sword and dress like a samurai.

The representative of foreign admissions gave her a contemptuous glance, and after irritating her even more, he cleared his throat and said, "My name is Oda Nobuna, and I hope you don't misunderstand... I'm not here for the so-called 'Learning' cooking..."

"Eh? Oda Nobuna? Did she say her name was Oda Nobuna just now?" Liu Maoxing said in a dazed manner from below.

"That's right... Unexpectedly, the members of the Oda family actually made moves!" Erina's tone was a little dignified.

"No wonder Saito looks so unconvinced..." Mito Yumei also nodded behind.

"But it's really arrogant to say that you didn't come to 'learn' cooking." Alice pouted.

Liu Maoxing found that the topic he wanted to complain about the most, he didn't talk to him at all. Instead, he accepted the setting of "Oda Family" with peace of mind... No! Is it because you already know what the "Oda family" looks like? Is it just me feeling weird?

And speaking of which, Saito Sakura is...

"My purpose is only one, and that is to prove that I am the number one new generation cook in the island country! I am not targeting everyone below, but want to say...every one of you is just a stepping stone for me! Get ready Have you been conquered by me?"

"Bastard! Who are you underestimating? Arrogant freshmen!"

"Huh? Stepping stone? Don't think that you are a girl, you can say such things without paying the price!"

"It's just recruiting students from outside the district... let you know how powerful Yuanyue is!"

"Hehe, I'm not ashamed to say that I'm not here to 'study'. I'm afraid those elites among the second-year students and the top ten will not be able to sit still, right?"

But the red-clothed thorn-headed girl didn't care about the commotion below: "Is the 'Ten Outstanding Seat Contest' going to start this afternoon? It seems that 'Ten Outstanding' is a very powerful title for you? Then use 'Ten Outstanding' 'As my first step to unify Yuanyue! Hahahaha..."

Looking at the smirking girl in red, Liu Maoxing can at least be sure that this guy is not someone who cuts thistles, even though he looks tough!

Amidst the "indignation", the opening ceremony ended...

"Eh? Alice, why are you with us?" Erina asked.

"What do you mean?" Alice wondered.

"Now you are one of the top ten, hurry up and arrange the battle for the afternoon! Hehehe..." Erina laughed.

Sure enough, at this moment, Fei Shazi dragged away Alice who was almost lying on the ground to increase the friction...

"Don't be self-willed, Miss Alice, there is a guy who can't do anything without a turban, but only makes trouble when he wears a turban. Our task is already very heavy!" Fei Shazi said.

Seeing Fei Shazi, Alice, Kurokiba, and Chuangzhen leave together, Liu Maoxing suddenly said: "That's right! Speaking of this afternoon's topic, they add Ruishan, and the general manager and general counsel Seven people decided, right?"

"That's right, in order to prevent anyone from leaking the question, except for Director Jing Pu Hisao, who is in charge of the preparations, everyone else will be prohibited from entering and leaving the meeting room until the qualifying round in the afternoon begins." Mito Yumei said.

"I wonder what the outcome of their discussion will be..." Liu Maoxing muttered.

"It's just a qualifying round, it won't be too difficult."

"And there is no need to think about it now. According to the rules, as long as people go, the ingredients and kitchen utensils are all prepared on the field, and you are not allowed to bring them by yourself." Erina said.

In order to prevent unscrupulous people like Ruishan from leaking the exam questions, it was finally decided to discuss the exam questions after today's opening ceremony...

Hearing this, Liu Maoxing also felt the same reasoning, so he went back to the dormitory to rest and wait for the afternoon qualifying competition... After all, even if he wanted to prepare, he didn't know what to prepare for!

Others are also in good condition. Marui, Ibuzaki, Yuuhime, and Ryoko are all waiting for their shame. Even Daigo and Shoji are full of confidence, saying that they will at least pass the qualifying rounds and shine in the qualifiers look.

And Takmi is still thinking about the fact that Chuangzhen "opportunistically" won the Top Ten seat, talking about becoming one of the Top Ten, and then defeating Chuangzhen in the seat match...

Because she had to go to the game in the afternoon, Erina didn't go back to the villa of Nakiri's house, but also came to the Pole Star House to rest first.

Seeing that everyone was discussing with great interest, their goals in this battle, even Liu Maoyuan was able to integrate in smoothly because of the presence of Liu Maoxing and Erina who were more familiar with her, but the other two " Newcomers "Saito Sakura and Sugiyama Yoshitaka still seem to be separated, Liu Maoxing is going to do something...

"Ahem, Sugiyama Yoshi, you signed up for this competition too, right? Do you have any goals?" Liu Maoxing asked proactively.

Everyone couldn't help looking at Sugiyama Kichi.

However, although Sugiyama Kichi is polite, he has a fake and fake look and said with a smile: "I just want to see my own strength, what position I can rank in Yuanyue, and those who are not eliminated It’s too embarrassing to be content.”

Everyone got goosebumps when they heard it, and Liu Maoxing also felt that it was a waste to ask this guy!

"Ahem, what about Saito Sakura? What's the goal... um!" Liu Maoxing asked instead.

However, all I could see was that Saito Sakura was pulling out the knife and sharpening it on the whetstone with all his heart...

"Huh? The goal? Of course it is to kill that guy Oda Nobuna! It is said that you have a rule called 'Food Halberd', right? Can you bet on your life?"

"This... Please abide by the Basic Law..." Liu Maoxing felt that he should not ask this guy.

"Then there is no goal!"

She said so, but judging by the way she was still sharpening the knife, she obviously didn't give up!

At eleven o'clock in the noon, which is the time for the "qualification competition" set before, almost all the students showed up at the entrance of the venue...

In the Central Gourmet Agency, apart from a dozen or so people including Lian Nantaro, none of them had obtained the formal admission qualifications, so they did not sign up, but they all came to watch the excitement...

Although this gathering time was somewhat inhumane, Yuanyue's students, like professional cooks, were already used to not eating on time, and no one complained.

But when entering the arena, there was still a little commotion...

"What is the prohibition of carrying unsanitary products? These are all aseptically grown by myself. Why... wait, I don't use them as ingredients. These are my amulets, and amulets are not allowed?"

"Don't touch my knife, didn't I promise you not to use it? Don't think I dare not cut you..."

"Crunch... what? Ingredients are not allowed? I didn't bring ingredients... crunch... Oh, what are you talking about? These are potato chips, snacks, not ingredients! You can't bring them either? Well, then I'm all... quack quack..."

"Huh? I didn't bring anything, did I? No clogs allowed? I just like to wear clogs barefoot. Are you coming to bite me?"

Yume Haruki, Saito Sakura, and the fat man Akimichi Keigo who stopped Yume Haruki before, as well as the foreign admissions representative Oda Nobuna who had spoken before, had conflicts with the "security personnel"...

Seeing this, Liu Maoxing couldn't help saying: "This year's freshmen are really troublesome!"

"Actually, you were even more troublesome than them last year." Erina also learned to complain unknowingly.

Liu Maoxing couldn't stand it anymore, so he forced a seal on Saito Sakura's knife, and warned her not to pull it out, and then watched Keigo Akimichi eat all the snacks hidden on him...

As for Oda Nobuna... Although she is still dressed in the same dress as when she gave a speech, half of her thighs are exposed, and her chest is also wide open. She wears clogs barefoot, and only her hair is now tied with a wide white turban. Got up... But this attire is indeed not a violation, so Liu Maoxing told the inspectors not to be too fussy.

Of course, as for some guy who tried to bring in some weird specimens, of course everything was confiscated!

"Tch, what an ugly seal..." Saito Sakura muttered as she looked at the seal on the knife grid and scabbard.

"Don't be dissatisfied! Remember not to pick..."

The oily girl Haruki took out specimens from her whole body, and complained: "Isn't it okay to have one spider? Just one... ok ok, I'll give you all, give you all..."

"Really, I'll be full first..." Keigo Akimichi patted his stomach.

Liu Maoxing dismissed this... Is this kind of appetite trying to scare me? Don't be afraid, you know, you are so big, I can eat three!

"Hahaha, you're quite open-minded, how about being my younger brother?" Oda Nobuna said after Liu Maoxing stopped the security personnel and patted him on the shoulder.

"..." Liu Maoxing was speechless.

At this time, Erina came over, pulled Liu Maoxing directly into the venue, and at the same time turned his back to Oda Nobuna, waved his hand lightly and said, "I'm sorry, elementary school girl, this guy has already paid homage to the mountain gate, you Let's find someone else to play with."

"Was that just now Nakiri Erina? She is very famous, but I don't know how strong she is... It will be interesting if she snatches her little brother?" Nobuna said with great interest.

At this time, Saito Sakura pointed at her with a scabbard and said: "I advise you to think about yourself before setting your goals on others! When I become a top ten, the first thing I will do is let you go Seppuku!"

"Hahaha, don't worry! Even if you become the top ten, I will only rank higher than you!" Xin Nai walked in with a big smile.

Others were thinking in their hearts: Even if you are one of the top ten, you can't let other students have their seppuku!

"Haruki, why are you looking listless? Isn't it because those specimens were taken away? It's not that they won't be returned to you." The girl with ponytails, Kaori Yamanaka said helplessly.

"No, you don't understand the feeling of being hollowed out..."

"But Keigo, are you excited?"

"Well, I heard that among Yuanyue's second-year students, there is also a very powerful meat chef, so we can compete with each other!" Fatty Keigo said aggressively.

"Hey, I still don't know what the title is! Be careful, it's vegan cuisine, and you'll all be eliminated... The ingredients are only secondary, and understanding the hearts of diners is the key! Why don't you understand?" Kaori fluttered Said.

But after entering the arena that had been set up, the students were all stunned.

I saw rows of "counter-style" cooking tables blocked by glass, and the staff was organizing everyone to enter their own positions...

Of course, it was not the glass wall that Si Yingshi used to "place the play", but a counter in front of the aisle, with a glass window on it, and a small window between the glass and the counter.

"Eh? Why does it feel like a cafeteria?" Liu Maoxing muttered strangely.

And at this moment, he also checked the ingredients, spices, and tools on the cooking table...

Sure enough, it is not complete, but it is very basic! They are all the most basic... Liu Maoxing feels that this is a "canteen" feeling more and more intense!

At this moment, the commander-in-chief's voice sounded: "Ahem, all 281 contestants present, the qualification rules are announced below! In the following time, you can use any ingredients in the cooking table for cooking, The purpose is to entertain 1,000 elementary school students from the first to third grades from three schools who will line up to enter the venue from twelve o'clock to one o'clock!

The number of primary school students attracted, the top 50 contestants, will be eligible to enter the qualifiers, but be careful... the provided must be a complete meal, and if there are more than 10% of the meals after the primary school students have taken their lunch If the lunch set does not meet the nutritional needs of children aged six to nine, the score will be cancelled. Now... the cooking begins! "
