【Chapter 041】He lost/?

"Grandpa, how did that guy have the property rights to the academy building?" Erina looked at the smiling Nakiri Senzaemon angrily.

She couldn't figure out why her stubborn grandfather would take the initiative to break the tradition of the Nakiri family?

"Erina, it's just a building, you don't need to be so angry."

Senzaemon just got the news that Shijun and Kuga Terunori's Shokugeki have been certified by the official administration.

He was looking forward to it very much now, hoping to see the true level of this descendant of the Xia Family.

In fact, since Shijun entered Tōtsuki, he has been paying attention. It's just that the other party always has reservations, which made him regret for a while.

"Grandpa, now that you have set a precedent, what if the others want to settle in Tōtsuki in the future?"

Erina didn't care about a mere building. She was just worried, once there was a precedent for this; others would swarm like sharks smelling blood.

Although the Nakiri family had a considerable position in the culinary world, they couldn't withstand the pressure of business and political circles.

These big men were quick in changing face.

It would be fine if the Nakiri family kept the independence of Tōtsuki Academy. But now that others could settle in, why couldn't they?

Erina had realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Don't worry, someone will handle this matter." Senzaemon was confident.

Seeing the determined expression on her grandfather's face, Erina's worries eased a lot. Now she was more and more curious about Shijun's identity.

After a moment of hesitation, Erina knew that she would definitely not get the answer from her grandfather.

"Grandpa, let me be the examiner for this Shokugeki?" Erina has never forgotten the last gaffe.

She wanted to see with her own eyes what Shijun looked like when he lost the competition.

It must be quite interesting to think about.

Last time Shiju passed her examination smoothly. The Tsundere Erina decided that the other party took advantage of the special spices.

The real level was certainly nothing more than that.

She wouldn't believe the recent rumors about Shijun at school.

...

Three days later.

The Hall was already full of people.

Everyone was curious about this Shokugeki.

Many people didn't even get their seats, and could only wait in the aisle on the second floor or wait for the results outside.

"Hello everyone, the Shokugeki Official Administration has recognized this duel as the official [Shokugeki]..."

"And I am the master of ceremonies, Kawashima Urara from the first year!"

On the stage-like kitchen, a beautiful idol girl tied with a cute bow was introducing herself with a microphone.

The shouts of 'Urara' and 'Urara' continued to ring around the venue.

It was conceivable that this emcee was very popular among Tōtsuki boys.

"Yo~~~ I believe everyone can't wait, this upcoming battle!"

"This time, there are three judges in total, Ms. Erina and two gourmets from the food industry!"

"The theme is Mapo Tofu. This is the eighth seat of Elite Ten, Senior Kuga, who is best at!"

"Then now, please, contestants from both sides enter the arena!"

Urara Kawashima had been the emcee since the junior high school, and was very experienced in driving the crowd enthusiasm.

For a time, the venue was deafening, and everyone's emotions reached the prak.

Entering the passage, Shijun had a confident smile on his face. Behind him, stood Tadokoro Megumi and Maria.

When Tadokoro Megumi saw this kind of battle, listening to the shouts around her legs were a little weak.

"Shijun...Aren't you nervous?"

She asked with a trembling voice, mainly to find someone to talk to and ease her nervousness.

"Why are you nervous? Just a bump!"

Shijun answered casually, his tone revealing incomparable ease. Maria had never experienced such competition before.

However, she had always been mature maid with a faint smile on her face. As a maid, you must not embarrass your master.

In fact, she felt very lucky to be able to work beside Shijun. Every day was to clean the house, and occasionally make breakfast for Shijun, most of her time was very idle.

However, the remuneration of this job was excellent, and the annual salary was at least more than 10 million yen with subsidies and bonuses.

In Japan, many senior white-collar workers did not have that much annual income. Maria cherished this job very much.

...

"The first to enter, The rumored boyfriend of Rindou-senpai, Shijun, an exchange student from China!"

"This new classmate has just entered the school, he is athetically handsome, and definitely has a high reputation."

"He chased after the very famous Rindou-senpai silently. The picture of the two of them being like glue is really enviable to others!"

"I just don't know if this new classmate's cooking skills are as high as his methods of chasing girls?"

Urara Kawashima began to introduce the participants. Shijun felt that this beautiful girl had a hint of sarcasm in her words.

He didn't know that this seemingly innocent girl was actually a very black bellied person. Shaking his head, Shijun walked into the venue with a spice box.

"This guy is Rindou-senpai's boyfriend? He doesn't look very good!"

Someone said sourly that he was obviously jealous of the other party's handsome and body.

"This year's freshmen are really bold and dare to challenge the Tōtsuki Elite Ten as soon as they come in. It's really unprecedented!"

"I don't know if he still has the face to stay in Tōtsuki after losing this competition!"

"It's been a long time since I see Rindou-senpai! I believe that after this Shokugeki, Rindou-senpai will be able to see the true face of this freshman."

"Of course, not everyone is worthy of our rindou-senpai..."

"..."

There was a commotion all around the venue. Obviously, almost everyone wasn't optimistic Shijun's chance.

They thought he was doomed to lost.
