<><><><><><><><>
The School Festival proceeded in an orderly manner. Without Azami Nakamura causing trouble, nothing major happened until the very end of the School Festival.
However, the Central Area underwent a brand-new adjustment. The school changed the standards for the Central Area.
Originally, the standard should have been expulsion for losses.
But this time, because the situation was special, two time slots were monopolized and semi-monopolized by two behemoths respectively.
So, in the end, to prevent capable students from being expelled, the school lowered the standards.
Not making a loss was changed to: as long as the amount of loss didn't reach a certain level, one could pass—
—This made the students in the Central Area breathe a sigh of relief.
They would probably never forget this School Festival for the rest of their lives—the fear of being dominated by Polar Star and the Chūkaryōri RS...
....
The School Festival ended smoothly.
Yuuki's Golden Laughing Buns directly took first place on the "Most Magical Dish" ranking.
This was created by some student who was bored.
Besides this, there were various other rankings. But the first place on the "Most Magical Dish" ranking was Yuuki's Golden Laughing Buns because they didn't know how on earth it was made.
At that time, some people had paid attention to Yuuki and the others' operations. After all, the entire production process, from kneading dough to the final deep-frying, was exposed to everyone's eyes.
Everyone knew what the filling inside the buns was. So, many people thought it was quite simple and wanted to replicate this dish.
However, the final result, without exception, was all failure.
Their failed products couldn't laugh, and the filling inside was fried dry, tasting like eating a piece of rice crust, and flavorless at that.
Clearly, the steps were all the same.
Some people even recorded videos of everyone making the dishes and followed them step-by-step, but they still failed in the end—
This world didn't lack clever people.
Soon, as everyone gradually analyzed, they discovered the problem:
The problem lay with Yuuki.
Someone even made a detailed analysis explaining Yuuki's overpowered abilities.
Golden Laughing Buns, because of its zero replication success rate—topped the "Magical Dish" ranking, and also the "Most Difficult to Make" ranking.
Among the many rankings, only the "Worst Tasting" ranking didn't feature Golden Laughing Buns—it dominated first place in all others.
....
After the School Festival ended, another matter quickly fermented internationally:
—The Polar Star series ingredients.
With Yuuki's drug support, these poultry could mature in a week.
The Mito family had been operating at full capacity during this period, even somewhat neglecting other animals on the ranch.
They were single-mindedly nurturing Polar Star series ingredients. This also led to the first batch of Polar Star series ingredients being nurtured just a few days after the School Festival ended.
During this period, with the Nakiri family's support, the Mito family was frantically expanding their ranch.
This made the head of the Mito family grin from ear to ear. It was just the beginning, but the Polar Star series had already increased the Mito family's net worth by an unknown amount.
Even many major powers larger in scale than the Mito family were currying favor with them.
....
On WGO's side, Mana Nakiri signed a contract with Yuuki.
Afterwards, Yuuki left the matter to them to handle. For Yuuki, this money now was completely just a string of numbers—
—He was more focused on his own Culinary skills.
With the completion of the first batch of Polar Star series ingredients, WGO and the Nakiri family sent some to all the major powers.
They planned to brand the Polar Star series as high-end ingredients. This couldn't be helped; after all, the cost of the drugs and various nurturing costs were there.
While the nurturing time was short, only seven days, other costs were not low at all. So, they couldn't be sold as cheap ingredients.
After those major powers tasted the Polar Star series ingredients, they all began to contact WGO and the Nakiri family, trying every means to purchase the ingredients.
....
"These past few days, the Polar Star series ingredients have really been causing a stir! On TV, on phones—it's all news about Polar Star series ingredients, everywhere."
Fumio Daimidō was in a very good mood now.
The name "Polar Star series" originated from Polar Star Dormitory. With the Polar Star series ingredients having such a great reputation, it meant Polar Star was also famous.
Yuuki chose this name because of the previous Polar Star Chicken and Polar Star Duck.
So, since they were all called this name, he simply called all the ingredients by this name, thus creating the collective term "Polar Star series."
"Hehe, I'm also one of the founders!"
At this moment, Yoshino Yuki leaned over with a smile. She was the first to name the Polar Star Chicken.
This made Yoshino famous. Everyone knew this little girl had also contributed, although this contribution was very small, almost invisible, she indeed participated.
"Polar Star series are very popular. The Mito family—to prevent people from coming to steal the ingredients, has arranged for many security guards." Erina Nakiri said.
As long as the profit was large enough, then someone would take desperate risks. This had been true since ancient times.
After the first batch of Polar Star series ingredients caused an uproar, the price of Polar Star series ingredients on the black market had already been hyped to an astronomical figure.
But even at an astronomical price, there was no stock.
WGO's side had just started.
The first batch of ingredients, and even the second batch, could only be produced by the Mito family's ranch.
And not many would go steal things from WGO's ranch. The Mito family was undoubtedly an easier target—
Erina Nakiri had been listening to Ikumi Mito complain.
According to Ikumi, her father had even moved into the ranch to guard it, just fearing that if something went wrong, he would be blamed.
After all, this was the key to the Mito family's rise.
"Has it already developed to the point of stealing ingredients?" Everyone was stunned. They never expected it to reach such a stage.
"It's normal. The benefits are there. And now the Mito family is the sole supplier." Yuuki wasn't surprised.
It would be strange if no one coveted it.
"When WGO's production ramps up, there won't be so many people targeting. But the situation with the Midnight Chefs isn't quite good." Asahi Nakiri said.
He still had some contact with some Midnight Chefs.
Midnight Chefs were different from others—it was more difficult for them to obtain those ingredients.
Production was limited now, and the Nakiri family and WGO would only supply some major powers.
Midnight Chefs themselves weren't well-received.
The Nakiri family and WGO wouldn't sell ingredients to them. So, Midnight Chefs were now starting to get restless.
It was fine if they hadn't tasted such ingredients. But after eating them and then not being able to buy them—that was a kind of torture...
And these Midnight Chefs were all restless individuals, acting unscrupulously when doing things.
"I've received some news. It seems many Midnight Chefs are heading towards Japan. With Japan's current Shokugeki system, I feel like it's going to turn into a chaotic mess—" Sarge shook her head.
When she first learned about the Shokugeki system, she was stunned. It could be said this place was a paradise for Midnight Chefs—
After all, many Midnight Chefs loved to plunder. The existence of the Shokugeki system was basically tailor-made for them.
....
"Yes, but knowing these guys are coming in advance, makes it easy to handle—" Yuuki smiled.
In the original story, Midnight Chefs came to Japan—and because very few came, they all acted individually, it wasn't until they caused trouble that Tōtsuki's side reacted—
—But this time, this premise no longer held.
Due to the huge commotion caused by the Polar Star series, the number of Midnight Chefs coming to Japan this time was very large.
As for the solution... The existence of the Shokugeki system was based on the existence of the Shokugeki Administration Bureau.
Only Shokugekis recognized by the Bureau could be established.
As long as a Shokugeki wasn't established, then the wagers were naturally useless.
So, just by communicating with the Shokugeki Bureau, there was no need to even stop Shokugekis—just a little maneuvering by the Bureau's people was enough.
