"Yeah! Although our cooking WOULD definitely improve significantly if we learned these techniques—this is your stuff, Yuuki! Even if we're friends, we can't just take advantage of you like this."
Ryōko Sakaki strongly agreed with Satoshi Isshiki.
As the saying goes, "Even good friends keep clear accounts—" Although they were very good friends, what Yuuki brought out now was too valuable...
"I'm not saying I'll just teach them to you directly—consider it an early investment. Learn these techniques. After you benefit from them, you can just pay me royalties."
Yuuki naturally understood what they meant. He had thought about this before. While these techniques weren't that important to him, they were completely different for others—
Yuuki certainly didn't want to end up losing friends over this. His purpose in teaching these techniques was to improve his Food Honor. He decided to teach the Polar Star residents with the idea of "keeping good things within the family."
"Of course, the decision is yours—whether you want to learn is up to each of you."
After saying this, Yuuki left the decision to them. Hearing this, most of them already understood what Yuuki was saying—it was clearly a benefit for them.
But such things couldn't just be taught for free; they couldn't be that thick-skinned. So, everyone agreed.
As for how much Yuuki would charge later, they didn't worry about it. They trusted Yuuki very much and knew he wouldn't rip them off.
....
Just like that, everyone reached an agreement. Actually, for Yuuki, this was just an excuse. As for the money, honestly, he wasn't short of money right now.
For one, he could easily emulate Etsuya Eizan and develop some fast food recipes with his current skills. It would be ridiculously easy with his current reputation and skills.
Now that everyone agreed, they could naturally browse this technique book without any worries.
Although they had seen a bit of it before and been amazed by the techniques within, they had only seen the beginning—as they read more, everyone realized that this book was incredibly comprehensive.
It covered all aspects of being a Chef, completely well-rounded. If they learned the techniques in this book, their Culinary skills would skyrocket, and in an all-encompassing way.
"It's so comprehensive! And the techniques in this book feel connected—like a whole!" Satoshi Isshiki said.
Among those present, his Culinary skills were second only to Yuuki's, so only after reading through it did he have this feeling.
"That's right—it is a whole... I deconstructed these techniques from a Secret Technique and removed the parts that would be difficult for you to learn. After optimizing and reorganizing the rest, I got this book."
Yuuki nodded. He had spent several days working on this book, putting in considerable effort. For him, someone with Food Honor, to dedicate this much time to it meant this book was special.
Actually, this book could be considered a prototype Secret Technique.
If one fully mastered the techniques inside and could apply them skillfully, they would have a chance to create their own Secret Technique.
Of course, it was just a possibility, not a guarantee. But even so, it was quite incredible. After all, such a thing didn't even exist in the world of Cooking Master Boy.
Secret Techniques in Cooking Master Boy were derived from the expertise of top chefs, adapted from their own knowledge.
By simplifying the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash, Yuuki essentially gave everyone an opportunity.
If the success rate of creating a Secret Technique in Cooking Master Boy was less than one percent, then after completely mastering this book, the success rate might increase to around ten percent—
It could be said that if this book were leaked, it could completely alter the Dynamics of the Culinary world.
However, Yuuki didn't plan to publish this book. Doing so wouldn't benefit him in any way, and he naturally wouldn't do something without benefits.
"Secret Technique? What's a Secret Technique?" Alice Nakiri asked, puzzled.
Signature dishes, special abilities—everyone knew about those. But this was the first time they had heard of a "Secret Technique."
"A Secret Technique is an extremely special type of skill—you could even say it surpasses normal understanding. Take this book you're looking at, for example. These techniques are extracted from a Secret Technique called the 'Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash.'"
"The Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash is a knife skill Secret Technique. There are also other types of Secret Techniques, of course—like those related to Fire control, specific handling methods, and such."
With Yuuki's brief explanation, everyone gained a basic understanding of Secret Techniques.
"So there are things called Secret Techniques too! But to be able to extract so many techniques from one Secret Technique—and only part of it at that? THAT'S INSANE!"
Zenji Marui, as the theory master, stated that he couldn't imagine how many techniques a Secret Technique must contain.
His words received everyone's agreement.
It was indeed hard to imagine how exaggerated this Secret Technique had to be to have so many techniques extracted from it.
"You guys don't know the effects of the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash, which is why you think that way. This technique can dissect an entire bull in an instant, without spilling a single drop of blood."
As Yuuki explained the effects of the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash, the room became silent. Everyone looked at Yuuki with disbelief.
Seeing their reactions, Yuuki wasn't surprised. After all, the description of this move was indeed hard to believe. Butchering and dissecting a bull required a lot of time.
Now Yuuki was saying it could be done in an instant, without spilling a single drop of blood. They couldn't believe it—even mangas wouldn't dare to portray something like that.
But they also knew very well that Yuuki wouldn't lie to them—he had no reason to. So, everyone was now completely mind-blown.
"How...?! Never mind anything else, just the number of cuts you'd have to make—can you really make hundreds or thousands of cuts in an instant?"
Even Soma Yukihira, with his straightforward nature, knew this was impossible.
"You don't need that many cuts. When you truly understand an ingredient, the effect of one cut can be better than dozens or even hundreds."
Yuuki shook his head.
Indeed, even with Food Honor, he couldn't make hundreds or thousands of cuts in an instant—
But that was one of the key characteristics of the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash: it didn't require that many cuts. As long as one grasped the structure of the ingredient, a dozen or so cuts could achieve the effect of complete disassembly.
