How Dare You...Even Try!

Soon, Raina saw the first student arriving with a food dish in twenty minutes and took a bite from a Veg-coated meatball from her dish. After a few seconds, she nodded, "Your dish is a successful tier-1 food dish, but its taste is not up to the mark. Try again."

"Try again? So do I have to do the push-ups?" the female student asked with slight confusion.

"No," Raina shook her head, "you pass, but your food didn't taste as good. So, try again."

"Listen! If your food is not delicious, then it can only be considered crap no matter what kind of buff it provides! It should be delicious on top of providing the benefits!" Raina snorted. "You have a maximum of five tries! After that, even if you have ingredients remaining, you may not cook. If your taste didn't reach the mark in five tries, do five hundred push-ups before asking me for the advice!"

Zevien wryly smiled while cooking, 'It seems that I will have to stay here longer.'

Soon, Zevien presented his first dish.
