183 BLUE - Who Is The Best?
"Good lord, he is pissed like never before." Alice shook her head as she stood and watched Alexander lose it against the book master.
Takumi, Tsukasa, and Soma didn't even know how to react "W-well, I guess the chainsaw and the guillotine were a bit too much." Takumi tried to make sense out of it.
"But as expected from my brother, he gave them what they asked for." Soma had a shining light in his eyes with admiration. "I should learn how to do that." He said seriously.
"Please...Don't." Tsukasa chuckled previously. The world can only take one pissed Alexander.
As for the man himself "Then it is a deal." Alexander spoke.
[Do your best.] The book master said before cutting the call off on the monitor making the screen black.
Alexander rolled up his sleeves and sighed. The examines looked at him with frustrated expressions. The elder woman sighed and looked at him "Saiba Alexander." She called. Alexander looked at her with a raised eyebrow "You have 90 minutes to finish all three dishes." She continued.
Alexander smirked and crossed his arms "Don't tell me about time, just bring me the meat." He said.
With a snap of her finger, the staff of the castle came carrying three beef parts and gave them to Alexander. Taking a closer look, Alexander spoke calmly "Hm? low..." he mumbled. The quality of the beef wasn't any better than the one he has seen in the convenience store earlier "But it will do." He said, on his station, he took out a knife and made sure it's sharp enough like a razor.
He then turned on the stove and preheated the pans. "First comes the cosplay girl's dish." Everyone was focusing on him, especially the cosplay girl.
Alexander cut the meat in a perfect circle with a swift movement of his wrist and knife, there was no sign of blood on his knife as it moved very fast in inhuman speed. Nobody expected this as they all gasped at his speed of cutting the meat. He throws the meat in the frying pan after he had added the sauce let it cook.
"Second comes the clown." Alexander took another beef part and sliced it in a short pillar-like shape. He got the pot that the clown cooked with not even caring for his permission to do so.
And just like the clown did, he put the meat in the sphere-like pot that had inside the special made radiation grills to heat the food and started shaking it, if you look closely, you could see the resemblance of his moves with the clown from earlier. He juggled with the pot with fearsome speed to generate centrifugal force.
"That speed..." The clown looked nervous and for the first time since he stepped in this castle he lost his smile "That shitty brat!!" He realized what was going on and understood that Alexander was walking just behind him like a creepy soul reaper.
By the time, Alexander finished juggling the pot, he opened it and laid the meat inside that was already cooked enough. And just in time, the first beef on the pan was finished. Taking it out of the pen, Alexander trapped his knife and gracefully with speed and enough force he cut enough surface from the meat until only the finest and most tender part of the meat was left making the dish be the most tender beef one could possibly eat.
Alexander slammed his hands on the table and looked at the examiners "2 down..." he said with a smirk "Feel free to taste them if you like." He pushed the dishes forward for the judges.
"...We will see to it." The middle-aged examiner said with a frown on his face 'This kid!!' he thought 'I didn't think he can pull it off, but...this aroma, is just like previously...but stronger!!' he thought with a hint of saliva on his lips.
"Fufufu~ He is not holding back this time, is he?!" Alice crossed her arms and looked at the cosplay girl with her chainsaw and saw her trembling with a clenched fist "Well...That is to be expected when his opponent is just a mere 2nd rate chef." Alice chuckled and covered her mouth while mocking the Black chef not so secretly.
Alexander didn't mind the judges and went for the third dish "3rd, The bunny girl dish..." He mumbled, under his station, Alexader took out a butcher knife and grabbed the beef part, and put it on a wooden cutting board.
"There is no way he can cut the beef to that thin degree as i did without my guillotine and he doesn't have the strength to pull that off." The bunny girl told herself.
The judges who were tasting the two dishes earlier had their eyes wide open and their hands trembling "Impossible!" They mumbled "This is...Even better." It was said in a low voice but everyone heard it clearly.
"IMPOSSIBLE!!!!" The clown and the cosplay girl shouted. They ran to each copy of their dish and took a taste and they felt like they were just slapped in the face.
"This...this is no more a copy!!" The clown said as he fell to the floor.
"How can that be, my own specialty is stolen. Asahi-sama..." The cosplay girl mumbled and she could hear Alexander's mocking laugh near her ear.
Alice smiled with pride and chuckled. As for Takumi, Soma, and Tsukasa, they were shocked at the display of skills from Alexander "The gap...is too wide to cross..." they thought simultaneously.
Back with Alexander, he brought the butcher knife up above his head and looked down at the beef on the board with a sniper's eyes. Like lightning, he swung down with enough force until the butcher knife stuck halfway through the thick cutting board while his knife looked like it missed its target.
"HAH!! I Told you you can't pull it off!" The bunny girl shouted with joy.
After a moment, from the side of the beef, a very think and a pink slice of beef fell down like a leaf. Everyone felt their hearts dropping cold when they saw such accuracy. he did the same for 9 times. No sooner, the dish was complete.
He pushed it for the judges and went back for the last one. Just like before, the judges, the black chefs, nor the other contesters could Denny the superiority of his dish.
In the heaven's keep, inside her chamber. Mana; the book master. Observed what Alexander was doing with an excited smile. "This kid!!" she spoke. Anne outside heard her excited voice and wondered if something good caught her attention. Well, she can't be blamed as she doesn't have a monitor to observe the situation outside and can only get reports when the stages are complete.
"4th..." Alexander mumbled, his eyes looked at the last beef part and he frowned, without those multiple needles at hand, it will be very hard. And apparently, this is why the blood cook was so relaxed.
"Without my special needles kit, you will never be able to use the blood the same way as i do. Kekeke!!" he laughed.
Alexander took his knife and brought it close to the part and he breathed calmly, his eyes were like a hawk. Then, with incredible speed and accuracy, he scratched the meat very fast, and after a moment, he squeezed the beef slowly and gently making a small quantity of blood came out from the beef meat shocking everyone.
"HOW??!!" They all shouted.
Even the most experienced one in the field were puzzled, the blood noir chef himself was trembling.
Alexander smiled and looked around him "Easy, you pinch the blood vessels with a needle then such the blood. As for me, I wound the blood vessel and squeeze the blood out, the only difference, I am more familiar with the anatomy of meat of animals."
A story of fairy tails, no one believed it. But only a few dared to deny it completely. No one even realized when Alexander finished his fourth dish and pushed it to the judges.
"Eh?..." The middle-aged woman in the suit looked confused after she was woken from her thoughts by the fresh and heavenly aroma of the dish.
When the judges tasted the last dish, no part of their body denied the pleasure of this dish and savored it as much as possible. Nothing can compare to this in their long career of judging chefs. If they can describe this feeling...It would be like they were being thought by Alexander as his students and broadening their horizons again by him in an old classroom.
"Now, my dear judges...Tell me..." Alexander came closer to the three judges and smiled "Who is the best chef in the world?"
Child, Youth, old. No one can Denny this fact "Saiba Alexander!!" They shouted with their hands raised up like students with respect for their teacher.
