Chapter 80, the autumn selection begins.

Study hard and move forward bravely.

In this way, a month belonging to the sixty selection contestants passed quickly.

On September 1st, the autumn was crisp and clear, and the grand stage of the 43rd Autumn Trials officially kicked off.

"Wow... what a magnificent building. It is several times larger than the site used last time with the meat charm, isn't it? Shike. We" Xingping stood under the big tree at the door and said with a knife box upside down arrive.

"Well. It's not bad. It's at the top gymnasium level. Yuanyue spent a lot of money for this trial." Shi Ke beside him carried the food box and curled his lips.

"Do you really want to cook here? Phew..." Xingping also became a little nervous.

"Go in. Let's see the true face of this autumn selection!" Shi Ke took the lead into the venue without saying a word.

Walking through the long dark corridor, the darkness in front of him suddenly dissipated. The strong lights on the roof made people feel a little dizzy, and at the same time, the noisy voice penetrated into Shike's ears.

"Oh...it's quite big. It's almost as big as the stadium for the football match!!" Shi Ke looked at the several-story internal assembly hall in front of him and grinned.

"Everything here is really completely different. The scale of the venue and the number of auditoriums are not only that, the atmosphere in the venue can be described as explosive!" Xinghei said next to him.

"Nervous? Scared?" Shi Ke turned around and smiled.

"It's a bit nervous. Afraid? I don't have this word in my dictionary." Xingping smiled.

"Mr. Chuangzhen, Mr. Shike!" Xiaohui's voice came from behind.

"Hi!" Shi Ke greeted.

"Tasuo, you're back. How was your summer vacation?" Xinghei asked. (Xiaohui went back to her hometown for the festival half a month ago.)

"Oh! Hmm!! I think I'm well prepared!" Xiao Hui clenched her fists in her chest and nodded.

"Xiao~Mei~! How are you doing?" Yuuhime, Ibuzaki Jun, Ryoko, and Marui who had returned to their hometown appeared behind Xiaohui, and Yuuhime put her arms around Xiaohui's neck. (＞＜)☆／(oo).

"Wow! Everyone..." Xiaohui was taken aback, but she was still cheerful.

"How are you doing?" Ryoko asked.

"Hmm. Very good. This guy can fall asleep seven or eight times while cooking in the kitchen." Shi Ke revealed Xingping's scandal.

"Hehehe...you really deserve to be Xingping-kun!" Ryoko said.

"You guys, how are you getting ready?" You Ji asked with a smile.

"Oh. This one, it should be okay."

"Where is Mr. Shi Ke?"

"The top ten is no problem."

"Amazing!!" Yuki jumped up.

"We are all in Area B." Shi Ke pointed to himself.

"Ah!! It's over!!...Hahaha... Anyway, let's try our best to get into the official competition." Yuuji also made a joke in a cooperative manner, and then said confidently. Σ(っ°Д°;)っ→|w).

"Then you and Xiaohui have to work hard." Shi Ke said.

"Of course!" Yuki compared her hands with scissors, y(＞＜)☆y.

"Hehehe..." Xingping was also quite happy watching from the side.

"There is still a faint smell of spices on your fingers... It seems that you have studied hard." Ha Shanliang appeared behind Xingping.

"Of course. Because I want you to taste the incredibly delicious curry!" Xinghei turned around and replied.

"Hmph!" Ye Shanliang put his trouser pockets and left. He glanced at the stone guest before he turned and left, thinking, "Xingping, I must have studied it very hard. That stone guest...how come there is no smell of spice on him? Is he confident enough to think he can pass the qualifiers just by improvising? Stupid!"

"Xing... Xingping, let me tell you again..." Takmi approached, followed by a handsome, thin, tall, black-haired guy.

"Hey...wait a minute, who is that person next to you?" Xinghei interrupted Takumi's words.

"Why do you ask who he is? Isn't he Isami?" Takmi looked puzzled.

"..." There was an instant silence.

"Liar!! Isami obviously...!!" Kohei danced and gestured at Isami's obese body a month ago.

"What's the matter? Isami just lost a little weight because of the heat and sleepiness."

"It's called thinner? It's a whole body liposuction!" Shi Ke complained.

"Is this the reason for the hot and sleepy weather?" Xingping was shocked.

"My body is much better, don't worry. After the temperature drops in autumn and winter, my figure will recover." Yisami spoke, and his voice became much more handsome.

"Fatty people are indeed potential stocks." Shi Ke smiled awkwardly.

"So it happens every year..." Xiaohui couldn't help complaining.

"I really admire that you can live till now." Xingping said.

"Do you understand now?! He is Isami! No! The topic has been changed!!"

"What's the matter with you? Takumi." Xinghei turned his head and said.

"Then I'll reorganize my thoughts... Xing~Ping!!!" Takmi was about to speak when he was startled by the sudden extinguishing of the venue lights and screamed.

"Students who came to the venue, I have kept you waiting for a long time! Please turn your attention to the stage in front of the venue!" A voice rang out from the radio.

"Eh? What...what? Takumi, let's talk later." Xinghei looked towards the stage.

"Eh? Hey... Huh..." Takumi was helpless.

"Next, I will invite the head coach of the academy to give... an opening speech for this conference!!" With the sound of the stereo, Kirisezaemon appeared on the stage.

"Oh! It's the old man at the opening ceremony!" Xingping muttered.

Kirsenzaemon walked up to the podium with dignity and took a deep breath.

Inhaling deeply, inhaling hard, inhaling hard with emotion, he succeeded in... he was out of breath, and his lungs almost flew out from coughing.

"Huh?! Vomit cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough!!!..."

The atmosphere in the venue instantly became awkward and petrified.

"Boss... Chief?" The host didn't know what to do.

"Ahem!! Hmm! Huh...heh! Don't worry! I just choked." Kirisenzaemon said calmly.

"You're already old, so you don't have to force yourself." The host couldn't help complaining.

"Huh...breathing the air in this venue will fill my body with energy..." Kirisezaemon said his prepared speech without blinking his eyes.

"He was still coughing just now..." Yuki rubbed her chin, (☆).

"You Ji! Don't talk nonsense." Ryoko said softly.

"This venue is collectively referred to as the Yuetian Room. This place was originally used only for eating halberds between people who were also among the ten heroes. In order to pay tribute to those who won the first seat in the past, they are also left here. His portrait is also hung here in the tradition." The Commander-in-Chief went on to say.

"Oh! Really! When I looked carefully, I found that it was Dojima-senpai!! There is even a portrait of Shinomiya-senpai? ..., that guy is also the first seat!!" Xinghei looked up at the venue A huge portrait hangs on the top wall.

"Generally speaking, if a person is hung on the wall like this in our place, nine out of ten people need to be remembered." Shi Ke grinned, feeling terrified in his heart, this person is still alive~! Just hang it on the wall? How unlucky! !

"Many famous duels..., or very powerful must-kill dishes... were born here! Because of this, there are layers of accumulation and endless battle memories everywhere! And the official autumn selection The competition will also be held here! In other words, only those who stand out in the qualifiers can stand on this stage. You will write another new page of history here! Let us meet here again!! Ninth Chefs of the Twelfth Batch of Totsuki Academy!!" Kirisezaemon finished speaking.

"Wow!! I'm going to fight!! I'm going to enter the official competition!!..." The students in the audience roared.

"Ah... Takumi, what did you want to say just now?" Xinghei looked at Takumi with a smirk. (w)

"Oh...forget it." Takmi, who was interrupted several times, felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

"Next, explain the rules of the qualifiers. The basic rules are as written in the notice that everyone received. The topic of the cooking is curry dishes. The ingredients are also prepared at the venue... or things prepared by yourself. The time limit is three hours The part about the number of passers..." The person on the broadcast made a fool of himself, "Among the 60 preliminaries, there are eight in total who can pass the pass and enter the next round. That is to say, each group No, there will be four contestants each advancing."

"Four people? Only four people?! So many people are going to be eliminated at once!!" The contestants in the audience were really shocked.

"Hmm... that's interesting." Shi Ke lowered his head and muttered.

"Participants, please move to the venue of Group A and Group B as soon as possible! The preliminaries will start in one hour, which means that it will start on time at eleven o'clock. The rules are like this. I wish you all the best of luck."

"Wow! Hurry to the venue!!!" The contestants in the audience immediately stepped forward and rushed towards their own venue.

"Oh!! Being nervous doesn't help!!" Yuuhime patted herself on the face vigorously.

"Yeah." Ibuzaki Jun said.

"En." Xiaohui nodded, clenched her fists tightly.

"I'm sleepy. Next, let's take it seriously." Shi Ke patted his face and lifted the food box at his feet.

"Xinghei!! We are here, see you in the official final!!" Takomi shouted at Xinghei.

"Okay~~~!" Xingping readily accepted.

Everyone separated, each went to their own venue, and made the final inspection.

Time passed bit by bit, and when it was eleven o'clock, Kirisenzaemon's loud and clear voice sounded, "Cooking...start!!!"
