"If the above shortcomings I mentioned are corrected, this dish can be made even more perfect."
Satou said.
After all, he had been taking classes at Far Moon for quite some time now, and his foundational knowledge was already very solid.
What's more, he would compete with Erina Nakiri in cooking every night. Although the Tsundere always lost to him, Erina Nakiri had received an elite education since childhood and had a rich grasp of knowledge in various aspects, practically an encyclopedia of cooking. Satou was able to learn something new every time.
"Hmm, we've all noted it down."
Kujo Eisuke said, taking notes.
"That's great, as expected of Far Moon! A place that produces geniuses!"
"He truly is a genius from Far Moon! Although I haven't witnessed Erina in action, I believe this student's talent is in no way inferior to hers!"
"I think he might even surpass Erina."
The other chefs in the restaurant were also very excited, looking at Satou with admiration.
"So, are you satisfied with this tasting?"
Satou smiled and asked.
"Satisfied, very satisfied!"
Kujo Eisuke nodded repeatedly, excitedly saying, "Indeed, I knew that seeking help from Far Moon would definitely not be a problem! Even if it's not Erina herself coming to taste, just sending any student can solve our urgent problem!"
The other chefs also nodded repeatedly, clearly very satisfied with this tasting.
If they could correct the flaws Satou just mentioned, then this French Lemon Chicken would taste even better.
Satou glanced at Yukihira Soma and the others. These guys were happily enjoying the restaurant's desserts, and he couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
"Yukihira-kun, Yuuki, eat less, it's rude!"
Tadokoro Megumi said, blushing, trying to persuade the two who were eating voraciously.
"What does it matter? Anyway, they're letting us taste it for free, aren't they?"
Yukihira Soma said indistinctly.
"That's right, that's right!"
Yuki Yoshino also chimed in.
"By the way, you mentioned a one-star rating earlier. What is that?"
Satou asked.
"It's a rating given to restaurants by the WGO."
Kujo Eisuke said.
"WGO? What is that?"
Satou couldn't help but ask.
"Huh? Don't you know, student?"
Kujo Eisuke was immediately surprised, finding it hard to imagine that a Far Moon student wouldn't know what the WGO was.
"Yeah, what's this WCO you're talking about?"
Yukihira Soma, who was eating dessert, also turned his head and asked.
"It's WGO!"
Kujo Eisuke corrected him.
He was quite speechless internally; was he really dealing with Far Moon students?
In his opinion, Satou, possessing talent comparable to, or even surpassing, Erina Nakiri, must be a prodigy of Far Moon, yet he didn't know about WGO?
"It's the World Gourmet Organization," Kujo Eisuke explained.
"It's an organization that evaluates every restaurant in the world, with three stars being the highest, and publishes its evaluations annually."
"As long as a restaurant receives a one-star evaluation, it will become famous, but conversely, if it loses its evaluation, the restaurant will fall into an irreversible hell."
Yuki Yoshino, standing nearby, added.
"Huh? You know about it too?"
Yukihira Soma asked in surprise.
"Of course! It's an organization that all chefs respect and rely on!"
Tadokoro Megumi said with a look of awe.
"Oh."
Satou instantly recalled that Kojiro Shinomiya's goal seemed to be to obtain a three-star evaluation from this organization.
"So, were you one-star last year?"
Satou asked.
"That's right, but I heard that this year's standards have increased quite a bit."
Kujo Eisuke said somewhat nervously, "We're very worried that we might lose our one-star evaluation because of this, which is why…"
Just then, a car stopped outside the door, and a young girl with long, ink-black hair stepped out.
She didn't look very old, only in her teens, with a white ribbon tied in her long hair, a white top, and a red skirt, looking very delicate.
She struggled to carry a thick stack of red-covered books, stumbling as she walked in.
"Phew, it's so heavy."
She heavily placed the stack of books on the restaurant table and let out a long breath.
"Huh? Are you alright, miss?"
Yukihira Soma couldn't help but walk over and ask.
"Thank you, I'm fine."
The girl let out a long breath and gave a gentle smile.
"Huh? What's wrong with you guys?"
At this moment, Yukihira Soma noticed Kujo Eisuke and the others, their faces showing expressions of terror, their bodies trembling as they looked at the girl.
"Huh? Are you really scared of her?"
Yukihira Soma couldn't help but ask, feeling a bit strange.
"The book cover says WGO! Could it be that this girl is this year's auditor?"
Kujo Eisuke said with a look of horror.
Everyone else also trembled, looking at the girl with awe in their eyes.
"That's right, I am this year's auditor, First Class Governor, Ann."
The girl said with a smile.
"What? First Class Governor?"
Kujo Eisuke immediately exclaimed, "In previous years, wasn't it the Second Class Governor who handled the one-star evaluations? Why has the difficulty increased so much this year?"
"That's to control the numbers."
Ann smiled softly, her tone gentle, and said, "Only truly delicious restaurants can receive WGO's recognition."
"That sounds amazing."
Yukihira Soma exclaimed.
"Your shirt says Yukihira Diner?"
Ann noticed the name of the diner on Yukihira Soma's shirt.
"Haha, yeah, it's my family's diner."
Yukihira Soma laughed.
"Yukihira, Yukihira."
Ann immediately began searching through the thick stack of books.
2.9 After a long while, she couldn't find it.
She looked at Yukihira Soma with pity in her red eyes and said, "Although many people believe that restaurants not recorded by WGO are not true restaurants, don't be discouraged. Even though you have no value, you are still alive in this world, aren't you?"
"Huh?"
Yukihira Soma looked bewildered.
"This basically means she doesn't even consider Yukihira-kun, right?" Tadokoro Megumi said with a forced smile.
"Alright."
Ann sat down in a chair and said indifferently, "Let's officially begin the audit now."
Could it be that the so-called overcoming of difficulties refers to this?
Seeing this scene, Satou couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
