"Kuga-senpai is having a Shokugeki with Yuuki?!"
Erina Nakiri was somewhat surprised after seeing the news. Like everyone else, she also planned to check out just how strong Yuuki's Culinary skills really were.
After all, Yuuki's reputation had become quite prominent recently, but he hadn't made any significant appearances within the school. Now, with this opportunity, she naturally wanted to witness Yuuki's level firsthand.
The Elite Ten were all interested in this Shokugeki.
And besides them, another person was also drawn in—Senzaemon Nakiri.
Since Yuuki's return to school, Senzaemon Nakiri hadn't approached him. It wasn't that he didn't value Yuuki, but he knew that actively seeking him out wasn't the best approach.
It was better to let his granddaughters interact with Yuuki naturally. This Shokugeki presented an opportunity for contact.
He planned to act as the judge!
That way, there wouldn't be too much direct influence, and he could also see how much Yuuki had grown.
With this thought in mind, Senzaemon Nakiri directly called the Shokugeki Administration Bureau.
With Senzaemon Nakiri wanting to be the judge, the Bureau obviously didn't dare to object and immediately changed the judging panel from the originally planned three judges to just one.
Plus, they didn't think anyone could be more qualified than Senzaemon Nakiri. With him there, no one else was needed.
Actually, the Shokugeki Administration Bureau members were quite surprised. While this Shokugeki did involve an Elite Ten member, they hadn't considered it a major event, since an Elite Ten seat wasn't at stake.
Who could have imagined it would attract Senzaemon Nakiri himself?
Due to Senzaemon Nakiri's involvement, the Shokugeki Administration Bureau updated the information.
This change naturally caught the attention of both instructors and students.
Learning that Senzaemon Nakiri himself would be the sole judge for this Shokugeki, everyone was astonished. After all, Senzaemon Nakiri usually only appeared at major events, like the Autumn Election finals, as a judge.
Normally, even for battles between Elite Ten members, he wouldn't casually participate.
So, everyone was even more surprised by this news.
....
"Yuuki, did you see? The judge for your Shokugeki is actually the Director!"
After hearing the news, Megumi Tadokoro and the others immediately found Yuuki.
"I know. The Shokugeki Administration Bureau already contacted me."
Yuuki was very calm. Senzaemon Nakiri being the judge wasn't a surprise to him. He had been wondering how Senzaemon Nakiri would approach him.
After all, his existence was crucial for the Jewel Generation Project. Currently, he could be considered the core of this project. Senzaemon Nakiri wouldn't just leave it be.
Not only was Yuuki unsurprised, but so was Alice Nakiri. After all, she knew about the plans of her grandfather and father.
Although she didn't know all the details, she understood that Yuuki was very important.
....
Looking at Yuuki's calm demeanor, everyone was rather speechless. If it were them, knowing the Director himself would be judging their Shokugeki, they'd probably be incredibly nervous.
But Yuuki was exceptionally calm, as if it were just a trivial matter.
Time flew by, and the day of the Shokugeki arrived.
Incidentally, besides the change of judges, even the venue had been changed. The Shokugeki Administration Bureau had initially just arranged a normal arena—
—But with Senzaemon Nakiri's involvement, the venue was immediately changed to the Chandra's Room.
The Chandra's Room at Tōtsuki was a very important location. Only the Elite Ten and the finalists of the Autumn Election could hold Shokugeki there.
Holding a Shokugeki in the Chandra's Room, the time was also naturally set for the evening. After all, the gimmick of the Chandra's Room was quite something.
The timer was the moon itself—this kind of design was very cool and had a lot of style.
....
It was now afternoon. The spectator seats in the Chandra's Room were already filled, and even all of the Elite Ten were present.
Compared to the others, they knew a little bit more about Yuuki—of course, just a little bit more. That's why the Elite Ten had all gathered here.
"SO MANY PEOPLE! Did the entire high school department come?"
The Polar Star residents were also shocked when they arrived at the Chandra's Room.
There were simply too many people!
This wasn't a major competition like the Autumn Election where spectators came of their own volition, driven by their interest—
—But the current number of spectators really took them by surprise. It was a good thing the Chandra's Room was large enough to accommodate so many people.
Besides the students, even some familiar instructors had also come. They were undeniably curious about Yuuki, who possessed a special ability comparable to the God's Tongue.
Actually, they had planned to observe his Culinary skills during class, but unfortunately, Yuuki got special privileges through Gin Dojima, so unless it was a special competition or event, Yuuki wouldn't participate in classes.
This led to no instructors having actually seen Yuuki in action since school started.
....
"Jun, it's rare to see you at an event like this!" Roland Chapelle said to Jun Shiomi.
"Akira wanted to see this match, so I was dragged along—" Jun Shiomi replied.
Compared to these sorts of events, she preferred to stay home and research spices.
Jun Shiomi was obsessed with spices to an extreme degree.
Precisely because of this, all her skill points were allocated to spice research; other aspects were severely lacking.
Jun Shiomi had her own living space at Tōtsuki, which she built herself. However, she didn't have much money—most of it was used to purchase various spices and equipment, so her living quarters were quite simple.
It could only be said that she was also quite unique. She held the potential for immense wealth in her hands. Her skincare formula alone, if released, would probably shake the entire cosmetics industry.
After all, Jun Shiomi's appearance hadn't changed for decades—she practically had eternal youth.
....
This time, she had been dragged here by Akira Hayama...
Akira Hayama naturally couldn't NOT be interested in Yuuki. Akira's goal was to be the number one student, second only to Erina Nakiri, but now Yuuki had become a major obstacle...
So, Akira Hayama wanted to understand this rival's abilities, which was why he dragged Jun Shiomi along to the event.
As time went on, Yuuki and Terunori Kuga also entered the venue, going to their respective cooking stations.
