Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

After reading.

Erina put down the thick stack of documents in the book and rubbed her temples.

Late night cook.

Its power and influence had obviously exceeded her expectations.

The industry turmoil they caused in a short period of time also made Erina feel very difficult.

She had just taken office as the head coach, and many internal issues had not yet been resolved. As a result, at this important moment, a group of people representing the culinary world appeared and used the "food wars" rules to do so.

seriously.

She didn't want to care.

But judging from the information presented, if left alone.

I'm afraid that in a short time, the entire Japanese catering industry will collapse completely, and countless restaurants will be forced to close down due to the so-called "food wars" rules!

……

"All right."

"Take this document and have a look at it."

"Although Totsuki is currently facing many internal conflicts, I still hope that everyone present can unite as one in this critical moment."

Erina had a calm expression and a focused gaze, and she exuded an invisible majesty that only those in a higher position could have.

perhaps.

Only in Totsuki, only in this conference room.

Then, facing the Ten Elites, she suppressed her secret love for reading "pure" comics and fully revealed the temperament of the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family.

In her heart, Totsuki means much more to her than just a tea house and culinary academy.

"Ok?"

"Late night cook?"

Xiao Lin Long Dan looked at it and said in surprise.

"In just one day, they were able to defeat all the chefs of the one-star restaurants in Japan... My goodness, what kind of monsters are these late-night cooks?"

Kuga Teruki had a look of surprise on his face. It was only at this moment that he realized:

Don't even mention Totsuki!

I'm afraid the culinary world is about to start to change.

"No wonder some of my restaurants reported very pessimistic business conditions recently. It turns out that it was caused by these late-night cooks!"

Eishan Ezuya said with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Alas, they used the rules of Shokugeki to force the chefs from various restaurants to compete with them in cooking."

"This behavior is simply stigmatizing our Totsuki Academy. No, it is using the Totsuki's name to commit crimes!"

Si Yingshi did not show any surprise or fear. Instead, he realized that this late-night cook incident might be related to Totsuki.

At least.

For now.

The Totsuki and Nakiri families cannot sit idly by.

……

"Whatever their purpose is."

"Does he want to lead the culinary world and revolutionize this culinary era? Or does he want pure revenge and use all means to crush every chef's dream and years of hard work?"

"However, we cannot tolerate this group of late-night cooks doing such things under the banner of Totsuki and the rules of Shokugeki."

"Commander in Chief!"

"I recommend."

"Establish a new organization, with the Ten Elites as the main fighting force."

"And if any restaurant is targeted by late-night cooks, Totsuki can send the Ten Elites or outstanding students to fight against them."

Gentian realized the seriousness of the problem, so after a little thought, he immediately put forward a suggestion.

"Seconded."

"This is already a matter of reputation for Totsuki."

"So, as a student of Totsuki, we can't just sit back and do nothing."

Isshiki Hui nodded and agreed.

From the perspective of Soma, Kurokiba Ryo, Nakiri Alice, Isshiki Satoshi and others, they naturally despise the "high-end food kingdom" conceived by Nakiri Tsuki.

But judging from this late-night cook incident, the original principle of “survival of the fittest and elimination of the unfit” may not be better than “everything is managed centrally”!

Under the unified management of the central food agency.

The ordinary student escaped the situation of being expelled and acquired the skills and cooking skills that were comparable to the "Top Ten".

In addition, all social research associations and hobby clubs were dissolved, and all resources were concentrated under the central food agency led by the "Ten Elites". In this way, there would be no distinction between property, and the students at the bottom would no longer have to fight with each other for resources.

In this way, the rule of Shokugeki, which is intended to resolve conflicts between students, becomes unnecessary.

Every student.

Everyone should do his or her job and stay in his or her place.

If you’re not good at cooking, you can still be a reporter. If that doesn’t work, you can still be a “thug” for Senior Ruishan.

Perhaps under Nakiri Tsukiji's reforms, although the individuality and freedom of chefs were eliminated, other positions were further developed.

However, Nakiri Tsuchiya did not have such a lofty starting point.

In essence, he also believes in the survival of the fittest. Only the dishes he considers to be "good" can be taught to his students. The dishes that are "bad" are rubbish and there is no need to make them.

According to his model, the entire Totsuki will eventually be built into an arsenal.

Screening diners.

Filter dishes.

However, there is no "screening chefs".

Nakiri Senzaemon did something even more extreme. He flattered the elitism that the elites own everything, and he took "selecting chefs" to the extreme.

In fact, when it comes down to it, the current conflict between the internal and external culinary worlds is also like this.

Late-night cooks, represented by Cai Bo Chaoyang, believe that chefs in the table cooking world are all profit-driven and greedy people.

Take Totsuki for example. The students were quarreling all over for that little bit of profit. Even if both sides dared to use the rules of food battle to fight, the loser would just be expelled from school. They didn't dare to gamble with "the chef's life".

Late-night cooks who often participate in non-public banquets and illegal activities are naturally the opposite of the formal cooking world.

Let’s not talk about Cai Bo Chaoyang first.

Let’s talk about Saki and Tokiyama Heigoro who visited the izakaya last time!

There is also the clown, Malkanta, who successfully defeated Fuyumi Mizuhara!

these people.

Which one is not a “ruthless” character?

Moreover, their ruthlessness does not lie in their cooking skills, but in the fact that they have long disregarded their own life and death.

They all dare to risk their lives to compete with the chefs in the culinary world.

however.

For chefs in the table cooking world.

Don't they also hate and fear people who cook late at night in their hearts?

In their eyes, this group of "illegal" chefs who only dare to survive in dark places are simply a cancer that harms the culinary world. They are despicable, shameless, and a group of demons.

By now.

They even represent the evil forces against the culinary world.

It has mysteriously and pervasively invaded the entire catering industry and rapidly expanded its influence.

……

Finally, with the unanimous suggestion of the top ten.

Erina ordered to continue investigating the late-night cook incident, and if necessary, to send students, even lecturers, professors and the Ten Elites, to negotiate and confront them.

After the council meeting ended, Tsukasa and others left one after another, leaving only Erina and Hisako.

now.

The entire conference room was so quiet that the only sound was the whirring of the evening breeze through the windows.

The moonlight outside the window also cast mottled shadows through the curtains, but in the conference room, the light was absorbed by the stronger lights and failed to break the silence.

Erina lowered her head in thought.

Sometimes she would stare at the documents on the table, her expression always serious and focused.

Finally, as her thoughts gradually became clear, she could only sigh: "At this point, there is no other way."

……

To know.

A chef who can run a one-star restaurant is a well-known figure in the culinary world.

In fact, some chefs are much stronger than the top ten chefs trained by Totsuki!

however.

These are the powerful chefs.

In just one day, they were all defeated by a group of late-night cooks.

Although Totsuki can represent Japan's number one tea house culinary school, in fact, in the entire culinary world, even in Japan, these ten outstanding people do not represent the strongest existence!

Relying on the current Yuanyue.

Relying on the ten heroes represented by Si Yingshi.

Relying on the first-year students, mainly herself, Alice, Soma, Ryo, Ryo, etc.

I want to fight against the late night cooks. To be honest, it’s just four words:

Hitting an egg against a stone!

"Miss, I understand your difficulties."

"You have just taken office as the commander-in-chief, and now you are facing such a difficult problem. I guess you are very troubled and painful now, right?"

Beside her, Fei Shazi couldn't bear it, so she came to her and comforted her: "However, with the help of this late-night cooking incident, we have also gained unity! I believe that with our strength, we will be able to defeat that group of late-night cooking people!"

"hope so?"

"It would be great if Zhang Fan was here. He...he would definitely be able to defeat them."

Erina said helplessly.

"hey-hey."

"Miss, we just came back from the pub, and you're missing him now?"

Seeing this, Feishazi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Where...where is there?"

Erina's pretty face immediately turned red, and she whispered, "I just feel a little overwhelmed when facing these things!"

"Hey!"

"shit."

"The reason we went to the pub this time was to convince him to come to the academy as a lecturer."

As she spoke, Erina rubbed her forehead.

"Miss, what do you think... could this late-night cooking incident be deliberately planned by someone behind the scenes?"

"And from my intuition, she intends to destroy the entire catering industry and force all restaurants to close. Then, when all chefs are in despair, she will let the late-night chef, no, Zhang Fan from the izakaya, come out to save the situation?"

Feishazi expressed her opinion.

"Ok?"

"Is that what you think?"

"There are probably only a few people in this world who can be used as chess pieces by these powerful late-night cooks..."

"and many more!"

"Mother? Could it be that the mastermind behind all this is mother?"

Erina said in astonishment.

But in the next second, she shook her head: "This incident was too abrupt. It doesn't feel like it was carefully planned."

"However, after hearing what you said, I feel that Zhang Fan seems to be intentionally trying to bring this disaster to our Totsuki Academy?"

"Ugh!"

“What a headache.”

"If I could, I really don't want to be the commander-in-chief!"

Erina said helplessly again.

……

Continuous failure is the only shortcut in life.

This is the truth that Soma Yukihira realized most deeply after the promotion exam.

Starting from the initial Rice Bowl Research Association incident, he lost to Mito Yumei; then in the autumn election, he missed the chance to win the championship or runner-up; then during the school festival, he was beaten by Kuga Teruki in the early stages; and finally in this promotion exam, he was brutally beaten by Tsukasa Eiji!

Keep losing.

There is no other reason, it’s just that my skills are simply not as good as others.

Anyway, in Soma's eyes, how can life be decided by one game?

For him, who has been running a set meal restaurant with his father since he was a child, it is indeed worth being proud of to use his cooking skills to beat top chefs.

But as long as we look back at the past, we can find that although we can compete with this group of top students, we cannot maintain stability due to the limitations of our own narrow vision, and ultimately we always fail in unexpected ways!

"Dad..."

Soma, while on the phone, spoke quickly after contacting Saiba Joichiro.

"Hahaha, Soma."

"You are so lucky that you got to face the current No. 1 in the promotion exam."

With your current strength, you must have felt like crying after losing, right? That Nakamura Ji, knowing that you are my son, didn't let you off even a little bit, but tortured you even more!"

"Soma, if it really doesn't work."

"I followed my father around a foreign country, working as a handyman in a hotel and was able to make a living."

On the other end of the phone, Cai Bo Chengyi's voice, which sounded almost like "gloating", was heard.

It was rare that Soma would suddenly call him during this period of time, and Joichiro, who had been closely following the Totsuki transformation, was naturally very aware of Soma's recent experience.

"Dad!"

"Since you know all this, you should at least say a few words of comfort to me, right?"

Soma was a little speechless: "Besides, I haven't been forced to drop out of school yet. On the contrary, I am still qualified to continue to take the promotion exam!"

"what?"

"You haven't been expelled yet?"

"It seems that the new commander-in-chief can be lenient towards you rebels."

Saiba Joichiro said in surprise.

Afterwards, he held the decanted red wine in his other hand, poured a glass, shook it gently in his hand, and drank it in one gulp.

Then, after spitting out the alcohol, he took this opportunity to tell Soma something: "Recently, a lot of restaurants in Japan should have closed down, right?"

"Ok!"

"Senior Isshiki Hui, I just attended the Elite Ten Council."

"I heard that it was a group of late-night cooks who were engaged in illegal activities. They used the rules of food battles to force all chefs who run restaurants to compete with them in cooking."

Soma replied truthfully.

"It seems like they are really going to do something big this time."

Upon hearing this, Joichiro was silent for a long time, and finally continued helplessly: "Soma, you better be careful recently."

"Dad, didn't you close Yukihira Teishokuya before school started? And I have no plans to continue running it for now, so this should have nothing to do with me, right?"

"No!"

"The leader of the late night cooks is your brother!"
