I really can't control myself

Tadokoro Hui was a little confused, after all, Linton asked this question suddenly. Although she answered subconsciously that she didn't know, she didn't understand what Linton meant for a while.

"It seems that you still don't understand what I mean." Linton looked at Tadokoro Hui's expression and said further, "Do you think that the bird landed on the slender branch because it believed that the branch would not break? No, it believed in its own wings. Although this time, we have helped you keep your student status, but forgive me for being frank, with your cooking skills, it is quite difficult not to be expelled."

Tadokoro Hui understood what Linton meant. She couldn't always rely on others. Only by improving her own abilities could she avoid being expelled.

Tadokoro Hui didn't refute Linton's words. After all, she was originally a very unconfident person. In the original work, she was constantly encouraged by the protagonist Yukihira Soma, and slowly built up confidence and changed herself. But now with Linton's intervention, some of the plot was skipped at this time, resulting in Tadokoro Hui not changing much now, and she is still the very unconfident and timid girl.

"I know, Mr. Linton, do you want to teach me how to improve my cooking skills?" Although she was not confident, Tanaka Hui's heart was still quite strong. Since she was not strong enough, she had to become stronger. After listening to Linton's words, she immediately began to learn.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I really want to help you. After all, I think we are quite compatible." Linton said with a smile.

"Please teach me, Mr. Linton." Tanaka Hui said immediately. She really didn't have much defense against Linton. Although she always felt nervous in front of him, she felt that Linton should be a good person. Didn't he help her just now?

"Well... it's good to want to learn." Linton nodded with satisfaction, "But as I said before, have you considered where the gap between you and Fubuki is? Knowing the gap can help you find the right direction to improve, right?"

"This..." Tanaka Hui looked anxious. She couldn't tell where the gap was for a while. Fubuki's cooking skills have reached the level that can beat their instructor. In her eyes, it is simply superb. But what exactly is the difference... Is it talent?

"I've seen your previous dishes." Linton suddenly said at this time, "The vegetable dish is actually quite talented."

"Huh?" Tanaka Hui was suddenly stunned. She didn't expect Linton to see her dish. That dish was severely criticized by Shigong Kojiro as rubbish, but she didn't expect to be praised by Linton.

Of course, Linton didn't actually see it at all. He just remembered some plots in his memory. If Tanaka Hui asked what was good at this time, Linton couldn't say it at all, because he just vaguely remembered that it was a vegetable dish, and he didn't even know what vegetables were used.

Of course, Linton couldn't give the other party a chance to ask questions, and immediately took over the topic and continued: "In fact, you have no problem with talent. If you really have no talent for cooking, how could I say these things to you today. It is precisely because I think you are a rough diamond that I am talking about this."

"Rough... rough diamond?" Tanaka Hui's face was a little red. She originally thought that she should be very good at cooking. After all, when she was in the countryside, both her family and neighbors praised her for her delicious cooking. That's why she had the confidence to come to Totsuki Academy.

But after coming here, she realized what it meant that there are always people who are better than you. There are culinary geniuses everywhere in the academy, and people like her feel like cannon fodder.

Her grades have always been hovering between failing and passing, and she was almost expelled before, but because Soma Yukihira transferred to the school and became a team with her, she passed the course exam at that time. Then this residential training, she relied on Soma Yukihira to form a team to get through the first round, and then Linton and Fubuki saved her in the second round. She had been hugging thighs all the time, which led to her complete lack of confidence.

However, at this time, Linton suddenly praised her talent and said that she had a talent for cooking, which moved her very much. Of course, she trusted Linton even more.

"Really...really?" Tadokoro Megumi asked in a panic, "But I..."

"Believe me, you can probably guess what level I am, right? Do you think I will make a mistake?" Linton waved his hand and said.

Linton has never made a move, but whether it is Megumi Tadokoro or other people in Totsuki Academy, they think that Linton's cooking skills should be very strong. After all, Fubuki looks like Linton's subordinate, and Linton has the courage to come to Totsuki Academy to provoke, so he can't be too bad at least.

Obviously, no one would think that Linton doesn't understand the truth about cooking at all.

"I... I know, please teach me, Mr. Linton." Megumi Tadokoro was praised for a while, and she was a little confident, and she clenched her fist at Linton and said.

"Very good." Linton nodded, "I said before that you are actually quite talented in cooking, but talent does not mean strength. If you want to display your talent, there are two key points."

"First, that is long-term practice; second, it is the physical hardware conditions of the body." Linton raised two fingers and said.

"Physical hard conditions?" Megumi Tadokoro was a little confused. Of course she could understand the practice. This cooking skill obviously needs to be practiced. It is impossible for someone to cook in his mind and become a top chef. But she didn’t understand the second condition. What does cooking have to do with physical condition?

"You see, this is your weakest point. Not only do you have extremely poor physical conditions, but you have never had this concept from the beginning." Linton said, "If I guess correctly, you should have figured out your cooking skills by yourself, and you have never received systematic teaching, right?"

"Uh... yes, my mother taught me at home, but I didn't go to a cooking school, so I came to Totsuki to learn." Tanaka Hui nodded.

"So you think it's too simple. Do you think that learning cooking is just about cutting vegetables and starting a fire?" Linton said seriously, "You don't understand what level of physical hard conditions a qualified chef needs to reach."

"This..." Tanaka Hui honestly didn't know anything about this.

"Just like the practice I just mentioned, I now ask you to flip the pot 1,000 times, do you think your physical strength can last?" Linton continued, "I ask you to chop 100 kilograms of beef bones, do you think your current physical strength can do it? You can't even practice cooking and help process ingredients, how can you become a qualified chef?"
