【Chapter 045】

"No! I don't believe it!" Kuga Terunori with a disbelief face exclaimed. In anger, he put his hands on the table and gritted his teeth.

He didn't believe that he would lose to Shijun overwhelmingly. Erina and Natsume didn't even hesitate to make a decision.

Lose to others in what he did best.

This made the arrogant Kuga thought unacceptable.

"Are you questioning the judgment of my God's Tongue?" Erina was a little unhappy by the result and she who was not in a good mood, looked even more unhappy.

"If you don't believe it, try it."

They didn't know when, Shijun brought another plate of Magic Mapo Tofu and appeared in front of Kuga Terunori. He was now accustomed to serve more for his opponents when he competes. The latter took the plate expressionlessly and began to taste it.

Whoosh~!

The amazing taste instantly made him freeze in place. He have been studying this dish for years, and he instantly knew the differences.

Eight flavors are intertwined and finally converge into a unique flavor.

It was Amazing! He had never eaten such a refreshing Mapo Tofu in a long time.

He didn't understand. Everything to the ingredients used by the other party were obviously the same as his own.

How could he make Mapo Tofu with so many flavors?

It could even combine all the flavors perfectly.

"How?" Some time, he slowly spit out three words from his mouth.

"It's very simple. In China, this Sichuan dish has a history of thousands of years. Do you think you can improve the recipe to the extreme in just a few years of research?"

"Youre Joking! On our side, this dish already has eight flavors. As long as you make more and think more, you can naturally combine all the flavors."

Shijun did not reveal the meaning of [Magic Mapo Tofu]. That thing was a bit mystical, so he didn't dare preaching about it and attack this little brother mind.

Shijun felt that this failure of was enough to keep Kuga autistic for a some time.

...

The new eighth seat was born, this instantly made wave to the entire campus. Shijun became an absolute celebrity in Tōtsuki for a while.

Because he created the record of becoming the fastest Elite Ten since the establishment of Tōtsuki Academy. In just ten days of entering the school, he was ranked eighth in the Elite Ten.

This kind of promotion speed was simply unprecedented.

They thought that no one would challenge this record.

...

"That guy, actually beat Kugachi?"

"In this way, wouldn't he also enter the council?"

In a certain dessert room, AkanegakubkMomo was holding a bear puppet with an unhappy look on her face.

As long as she thought about meeting Shijun when she attended the council, she was not even in the mood to make desserts anymore.

Akanegakubo Momo had never forgotten the shame of losing to the other party in desserts.

...

"It seems that there is another genius character in the Elite Ten." The ninth seat of the Elite Ten, Eizan Takuya was also a little surprised by the result.

He originally thought that a freshman and that chibi who had been annoying him were unworthy to watch.

But the result was truly unexpected.

"However, it's none of my business even he lose as long as this Shijun doesn't affect me to make money."

Eizan Takuya pushed up his glasses, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

...

The third seat 'Megishimac, the fifth seat 'Saito Somei', and the sixth seat 'Nene Ninokuni' and others ractions to the news were vary.

Their previous understanding of Shijun was limited to the boyfriend of Kobayashi Rindou. Without this identity, they might not even remember each other's names.

But now, they were aware of the strength of this Chinese exchange student.

How long had it been since admission? He forcefully grabbed the eighth seat of Elite Ten.

Everyone suddenly had a hunch that maybe the school life in the future would no longer be peaceful.

...

Polar Star Dorm.

"The freshman is really scary. He actually easily outperforms Kuga. I'm afraid I'm not his opponent either."

Isshiki Satoshi, who was wearing an apron with a smooth inside, smiled and exuded a burst of emotion.

"Don't be ridiculous, Isshiki-senpai, you are the seventh seat of the Elite Ten, and, I guess no one has seen your true skills, right?"

Ibusaki Shun couldn't rolled his eyes eith an expression of, "I know you very well".

"Shijun is from china and it is normal to be proficient in Chinese cuisine. You don't have to be humble, senpai."

Tadokoro Megumi said as she didn't know who was stronger and who was weaker.

"It seems that I have to work hard, or I will definitely be thrown farther and farther by that guy!" Yukihira Sōma swore to worked hard and began to think about new dishes.

"..."

Isshiki Satoshi wanted to tell the other party that today's Shokugeki, Shijun was very likely did not show his full strength.

This was an intuition and Isshiki Satoshi has always trusted his own judgment and even experience in hiding. But after hesitating for a while he decided not to hit his lovely junior.

In fact, his feelings just now were not out of nothing. Instead, he really felt that he was probably not Shijun's opponent.

Today, when he watched the Shokugeki, Shijun's natural handwork and his casualness in cooking. He really felt the unfathomable depth of the other party.

This freshman was really strong!

While Isshiki Satoshi sighed, he was even more curious, what kind of changes can Shijun bring to Tōtsuki?
