Shall we begin?

"So... where am I?"

Said a boy that looked completely like 'Nietzsche sensei' looking person.

That person was standing in front of the Totsuki admission department.

[You have been cursed. You can't kill anyone or the most precious person to you will die. EVEN IF THEY ARE DIMENSIONS APART FROM YOU.

You have to serve 100 million people, that is you have to feed 100 million people, the catch being the food had to be cooked by you and the food must satisfy them.

Failing to do so will trigger the punishment. The punishment is already listed above.

You have been given your old body's ability as an aid. We have also given a free extra newbie gift to you.

Make sure to repent...

P.S. – Ten second after this message is shown, you will be provided a rough knowledge of your circumstances and please behave. Make sure to go to a quiet place cuz it will hurt.

You are welcome even though you are not, thank you.

And I hope that I don't have to see you again.

From the punishment Hall. ]

The man looked at the message in front of his eyes. He read it carefully and found out that it was true. No one can see it and he then went towards the bathroom.

Ten seconds later.

The man came out of the bathroom.

"It wasn't that much pain. So sorting out my new memories. My name is Tomoharu Nii. I a middle school student who is in the Buddhist club and I am here to take the Totsuki entrance exams."

"Hm~ parents are dead since childhood, the grandmother that raised me also died yesterday. Her last wish was to see me as a great chef so she sold everything that we owned to pay the school fees and tuition fees of Totsuki."

"Aahh~ thank God that she died yesterday or I would have killed her with my own hands. That selfish old woman didn't even want to let the kid live his life after her death! At least ask the kid whether he wanted to be a Chef or not, stupid hag!"

The man said while banging the toilet door.

"Shut the f out kid!!!! A#!#;d we are trying to do something serious here. Do it outside the toilet!!!! "

The man or Tomoharu Nii, chose to ignore them.

He hated people who were like the old woman. They just put your expectations and choices on you and you have to fulfill it due to guilt or whatever other reasons that you can have or were forced to have.

Every person should be allowed to express themselves. But that doesn't mean that you use that privilege to mentally burden another person with things that you want but couldn't achieve. That's just wrong.

The person who endures starts thinking that it is his/her job to do so and then a cycle forms.

The man hated that type of hypocrisy and he was the current owner of this body, if that grandmother was alive right now, then at least he would break both of her legs, at least. He couldn't kill a trash like her because he didn't want to lose his most loved ones because of a single trash.

The penalty was still valid.

"Why did she even sell everything when I haven't even have gotten admitted to Totsuki!!!?"

Tomoharu Nii screamed loudly.

"You have done it kid!! You @;_:₹! (+S;s(_;#(;_#+_; !!!!"

Tomoharu Nii glared at him.

"You- you , I need to go somewhere or, or I would have s-shown you."

The man ran away while saying that.

"My killing intent is still fine."

"Let's sort out the current situation then. I am in a new body and a new world. This is the world that kid watched with Altruist. I have to serve 100 million people. I have been given some gifts to do so."

"Thank you Altruist, I really thank you for forcing all of us to take turns to cook our own meals. Atleast I can know the basics and some other things. I will run your face on the wet wipes one day."

"Now how in the world am I going to feed 100 million people. Even if I feed hundred per per day, I would need... 2740 years approx., Now that's a nice punishment to have."

"So I have to feed 100 million people before the end of my lifetime. Nice~ I don't have a chance or choice anyway. Let's make my name famous and then get millions of people to eat my food."

"With the aid of my physique... my previous physique feels weak?"

"Hmm, there isn't even a percentage of my previous strength or durability in this body... duck..."

Five minutes later.

"So, you are saying that the entrance exams are being held 3 kilometres away from here."

"Yup, this the building where the janitor and the maintenance staff is stationed, the hall for the entrance exams is the other. Here is your permission documents, you will need it to enter the Executive Hall. Good luck to you."

"Thanks. I will definitely serve you my dishes if I get accepted."

"Hahahaha kid, nice joke!!!"

"I wasn't joking."

"Everyone said the same, but none of them passed."

"Oh~ I should go."

'That's a flag then.'

Tomoharu Nii went towards the Executive Hall while looking at the information of the gifts that he was given.

[ Your previous physique (BLANK)

- Enhanced Durability: Makes you more durable and increases stamina too.

(っ˘з(˘⌣˘ )

- Enhanced Dexterity : Makes you agile in every sense. Super fast hands that will make you forget everything. (◠(◠‿・)—☆

...-...

Golden Egg Fried Rice : A Heavenly level cooking recipe and technique that you have already been implanted with. You don't need to do anything, just start thinking of making it and your body will do the rest. It is a GOD class cuisine recipe and you can only show 10 percent of its might. Loseeeeer~

20 million dollars { American } : Or else how are you going to do it? Sell your body!?

A simple humans checkinator : It records the number of people you have satisfied with your food. The same person won't be counted twice. Meaning if a person finds your food unsatisfiable then that person would not be counted even if he later finds it good.

Last and final warning : You are not allowed to talk about you past and you shall not create some stupid organisation in remembrance of it. I know you won't but it's my job to remind you😏

Thanks for reading.

(。•̀ᴗ-)✧(✿^‿^) ୧( ˵ ° ~ ° ˵ )୨ ]

Tomoharu Nii looked at the knowledge screen silently.

"Which lonely psycho created this?"

He ignored it. He would not waste his brain cells for some stupid shitty third class god.

[ He is now raising flags.]

....

He entered the executive Hall and waited for the examination to begin. There was still some time for it, thirty minutes to be exact. He decided to sleep.

One hour later

Tomoharu Nii woke up. He looked at the watch and then immediately walked to take the exams.

He kicked opened the door for the exam hall and entered the exam hall without caring for anyone else.

He looked at the pass given to him and found his designated cooking table. He calmly looked at the requirements written on the board.

• Make a breakfast dish •

"That's it. Good enough."

He went to get the ingredients after saying that.

He had already checked all the rules and regulations of the exams and being late was not there. So technically he was safe.

The rules just stated that he had to submit his dish before two hours after the exams start.

He was just half an hour late.

Gwachena, gwachena.

He checked the mental recipe of the egg fried rice and then got all the ingredients after searching for them for 20 minutes.

This was mainly because he was taking things slowly.

Let's take a look at his actions from the another perspective.

Half an hour ago, the Totsuki entrance exams started. All the participants were already present except one but they chose to ignore him since time waits for no one, not even Niyander.

The judges were Tokihiko Sakuma, Somei Sato, a cannon fodder and Nakiri Erina.

Nakiri Erina was there on the orders of the Headmaster and was just a display mascot woman with no actual power of her own. The other three were the judges.

The Headmaster send Erina to the oversee the examinations because she will have to do it on her own the next year.

Judging the transfer students every year falls under the Elite Ten council and a member of the Elite Ten had to do it, hence Somei Sato was there.

The Elite Ten were also the ones who gather the judges for all the matches or other important showdowns or Shokugeki and that's how the other two judges were there, they got invited by the Elite Ten.

Now onto the exams. The Shokugeki entrance exams were not that strict. They just wrote a simple theme and the participants had to make a dish of that theme.

The participants were allowed to make anything until it was a dish that was made for eating.

They were pretty lax about this point as the judges were going to weed out everyone impartially. No biggie~

The participants quietly looked at the judges and Nakiri Erina with anticipation and dread in their eyes. To them, the people that they were facing were those that could decide their whole future with just a single word of theirs.

The sheer connections that they all hold was something that they(entrance examination students) cannot fathom.

"Today's theme is a Breakfast dish. You have two hours to create, plate and serve it to us."

"We have three judges and if two of them found your dish worthwhile, you get a pass on the other hand, if none of them like it or if just one of them liked it, you are out."

"Lastly, we have a special guest, you all know her so let's skip the introduction."

Somei Sato briefly explained in the most 'enthusiastic' voice that he could produce as he nonchalantly looked at the students who were there for the entrance exams.

All the participants saw the theme of a breakfast dish and immediately went to get the ingredients after some thinking.

In just a few minutes, they started preparing, cutting, dicing and then cooking. Everything was going peacefully until they heard a loud boom. All the people present in the examination room turned to look at the direction of the noise. It was the entrance door and the door was ruthlessly kicked open!

They all stopped whatever they were doing for a moment as their eyes got glued to the person who kicked the door.

In came man, totally ignoring the eyes that were looking at him. He casually searched for his cooking table and then checked the entrance exams cooking requirements and then went to get the ingredients. The rest of the world seemed to not exist in his eyes as he started to casually began his cooking.

The other participants looked at him for a while in wary but soon lost interest in the mad man and started to pay attention to their cooking as some of them nearly burnt their food due to him and his extravagant entry.

Now the only ones that were paying attention were the judges, the staff and Nakiri Erina. She was looking at the man as if he was someone beneath her, which he was as she was standing on a high platform.

The staff were looking at him because he just damaged the hall door and could potentially destroy further things. They made sure to memorize his face and took picture proof to charge him later on.

Totsuki didn't lack money but that doesn't mean that someone won't be held responsible for the damages.

Last but not the least, the three main judges were focusing on the cooking of the mad man.

The man casually and slowly chose the ingredients that were available. He was taking everything slow.

All the judges kept glancing at him due to his behaviour, waiting to see exactly what he would unfold because if he had the guts to enter an examination half an hour late, he would surely have the confidence to pass right?

Now onto our MC.

Tomoharu Nii was slowly considering the ingredients solely because he didn't know most of the ingredients. He had learnt simple cooking stuff and this was definitely not them. He definitely won't admit that he was confused between the types of rice, oil, eggs, and other things in the Golden Egg Fried rice recipe.

After 20 minutes, he was finally able to find all the required ingredients. They were not that much to begin with.

Less than 9 ingredients and that was after adding the salt and spices.

He took them to his cooking table and left everything to the recipe. His body automatically started to work.

He started to steam the rice and then once again waited. After 17 minutes, the rice were perfectly steamed for the Golden egg fried rice, his body immediately started to prepare the egg fried rice as if a machine has control his soul.

A few minutes later, he was done.

That was it.

It was just egg and rice, there was no other ingredients except the salt and spice and oil.

The only good point of it was that it looked and smelled good.

Tomoharu Nii was seriously doubting whether he could pass or not just based on that. He chose to trust the so called godly recipe and went to deliver his dish to the judges, obliviously.

By that time, many other participants had already submitted and gotten rejected for their dishes.

To be precise, he was one of the last ones to submit his food due to his slow ingredient selection and latecomer debuff.

He went to the judges table and presented his food to them. He completely ignored Nakiri Erina as she was not a judge and he only made three plates of egg fried rice.

The judges looked at his plate. A white bowl was placed on it. The bowl was taken from the utensil area.

On top of the white porcelain bowl were pearl-like rice grains. Every single grain was wrapped in a golden egg liquid. That egg liquid was not completely cooked, and was still in a viscous state. It was as if the rice grains were sprinkled with a layer of egg sauce. However, the viscosity of the egg sauce was perfect and was about eighty percent well-done. When mixed together with the rice grains, it was like draping on a golden gauze dress as it glinted with golden radiance.

[I got the description from Gourmet of another world.]

The judges were really impressed. They took a spoonful of the egg fried rice.The moment the spoon entered his mouth, an exquisite taste shocked his taste buds. The viscous egg suddenly solidified and mixed with the soft and pearl-like rice grains to create an explosion in his mouth!

"Amazing."

"Tasty~"

"Good."

This were the words that came out of the mouths of each of the judges. They didn't say anything else and just gobbled all the egg fried rice down their throat in just a few breaths.

"Disgusting."

This was said by Tomoharu Nii. He was a little repulsed by the behaviour of the three. They were eating the food like starving dogs doing deepthroat.

All three of them heard him but they chose to ignore that. The food was absolutely tasty and they were there to check that. Plus Totsuki had a history with people who were weird hooligans to begin with.

"Why didn't you serve me?"

Nakiri Erina said enviously. She was able to smell the delicious aroma of the egg fried rice and knew that it was tasty. She also saw the three judges gobble it like animals.

She wanted it more but he did not serve her any. This was blatant disrespect. All the participants served her their dishes even though she didn't like any of them.

This was also the reason why she chose to cause disturbance in the 92nd generation. She didn't want to taste any of their food due to the experience of the previous year and hence she caused them to flee from the entrance exams.

He ignored her ramblings.

"What are my results?"

He asked the judges.

They looked at each other and then reached a silent agreement.

"You pass. Welcome to Totsuki. And can you tell us how you made it? It was just the most common egg and rice with no other ingredients, how did you make it that good?

Tokihiko Sakuma asked the question that was on the mind of the three of them.

"Well, you see that camera that was near my cooking table, yeah that... that has the footage of my cooking, watch that. Thank you for passing me."

Tomoharu Nii bowed a little to them and went towards the exit. The judges were a little befuddled by his behaviour as they speechlessly looked at his back and then at the counter he pointed at.

He was definitely the first person to say that to a judge.

It was not the fault of Tomoharu Nii though. Even he didn't know what he did. It was just simple steaming and frying, how did he create that result was something that he was unable to tell them because he himself didn't know.

That's why he quickly went towards the exit.

"How dare you ignore me? You wait~"

Nakiri Erina said to him. She was getting angry by the nonchalant attitude of Tomoharu Nii.

"Why should I give you?"

He finally replied.

"I,I-I... You should serve people who are the special guest... you should... "

Nakiri Erina didn't have any words to reply.

All the other people and judges were looking from the sidelines. If things become problematic then they would side with Nakiri Erina.

"You are not special in my heart"

He said as he left.

"You-you... I will show you!!!"

She finally muttered but he had vanished by then. On that day, Nakiri Erina realised that she didn't have any experience with handling people who were totally unaffected by her status or achievements. And she had to learn how to handle people like him or she would face a lot of annoyance in the future.

She had a grave inkling that this was definitely not going to be the only meeting she would have with the mad man.

....

Tomoharu Nii, first day of meeting one of the main characters.

Impression : Total disregard.

Remarks : He will have a hard life ahead of him.

....

"And that's how we met him."

"That's a bad meeting you have."

"It wasn't the worst. There were two more."
