#422 - The Legend of Seiya at Totsuki Academy

"Considered a student of Totsuki Culinary Academy?"

Sōma Yukihira's words also left the Polar Star Dormitory members looking bewildered.

It either is or it isn't; what does 'considered' mean?

Could it be that Sōma Yukihira's childhood friend was originally a student of Totsuki Academy's middle school, but failed the entrance exam when advancing to the high school division, hence Sōma Yukihira's use of 'considered'?

"My childhood friend didn't participate in the Totsuki Academy entrance examination originally, but due to some reasons, he gained the approval of Erina Nakiri's grandfather, so he became a 'Special Student' of Totsuki Academy."

"Erina Nakiri's grandfather... isn't that the Director General of Totsuki Academy!"

Yūki Yoshino, realizing the implication, was the first to exclaim in surprise. As a student of the 92nd generation along with Sōma Yukihira, she is also a first-year student in the high school division this year.

With her chestnut-colored hair tied into a bun, she is, just like her appearance suggests, an energetic girl. Compared to the style of Ryōko Sakaki, who is the same age, they hardly seem like people of the same age group.

When Zenji Marui shifted his gaze to Sōma Yukihira, the other members of the Polar Star Dormitory did the same.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Sōma Yukihira finally nodded slowly and said, "What the rumor says is basically correct, because I was also one of the people present at the time.

In fact, it would be more accurate to say that the old man... oh no, the Director General of Totsuki, was brought to Seiya's restaurant by me.

At that time, facing the Director General of Totsuki's recruitment, Seiya said that he only wanted to run his family's restaurant, so after their negotiation, this so-called 'Special Student' was created."

After hearing Sōma Yukihira's confirmation, the members of the Polar Star Dormitory were even more surprised. Even the leader of the Polar Star Dormitory residents, Eishi Tsukasa, a 91st generation student and the seventh seat of the "Totsuki Elite Ten", was now deeply interested in this childhood friend of Sōma Yukihira.

"Yukihira, did this friend of yours really conquer the 'Demon King of Food' and the 'God Tongue' with his cooking?

Could you reveal what kind of dish it was?"

A dish that could simultaneously conquer the 'Demon King of Food' and the 'God Tongue', and even make the Director General of Totsuki personally recruit him, was not only of interest to Eishi Tsukasa, but also to the other members of the Polar Star Dormitory.

"A Chinese dish with eggs as the main ingredient, and a... sashimi dish that was like a work of art."

Sōma Yukihira's pale and weak description made the members of the Polar Star Dormitory break out in sweat, because such a dry description made it impossible for them to imagine what these two dishes were actually like.

It was a pity that Zenji Marui was not present at the time, otherwise he would definitely be able to vividly describe the situation at the time, including the detailed information of the two dishes.

"Yukihira, what is the cooking level of this friend of yours who became a 'Special Student' of Totsuki Academy?

Or rather, compared to you, what do you think of him?"

Because Sōma Yukihira's description was too pale and weak, Eishi Tsukasa changed the angle of the question and looked at Sōma Yukihira with a serious expression.

He had competed with Sōma Yukihira before, and roughly understood Sōma Yukihira's level. If he used him as a benchmark, they could roughly understand the level of this Totsuki 'Special Student'.

"Seiya's cooking level? Before eating that 'Frigid Ice Fresh Tai Mountain', I always thought that his level was similar to mine, even if he was slightly better than me, the difference was very limited.

But since that day, I have clearly felt that there is a considerable gap between me and him. Even in terms of knife skills, I have never seen a more powerful guy than him, even my father, whom I have never been able to defeat.

If you ask me about Seiya's cooking level, I can only say he is very strong! Whether it is fire control, knife skills, and other techniques, they are far beyond ordinary people's strength. At least at this stage, I can't see any hope of winning against him.

Moreover, that guy Seiya is quite good at hiding his skills. He even deceived me and my father before.

When we all thought that he had no cooking talent, he turned around and won against me. When I thought that the gap between him and me was not big, he quickly taught me another lesson.

Perhaps, the 'Frigid Ice Fresh Tai Mountain' we saw last time may not be all of his strength..."

Hearing Sōma Yukihira's evaluation of Seiya, the members of the Polar Star Dormitory were quite surprised.

Because Sōma Yukihira in front of them is also a well-known figure in Totsuki.

It was okay for him to not be afraid of Erina and Eishi Tsukasa of the "Totsuki Elite Ten". At the opening ceremony, he even declared in front of all the students of Totsuki that he would trample everyone under his feet!

Such an arrogant person now says that he cannot defeat that 'Special Student' at this stage. Then, how strong is this Wenren Seiya?

On the side of Wenren Restaurant, Seiya, who had just hung up the phone, obviously did not expect that he had not yet gone to Totsuki, but there were already many legends about him in Totsuki.

"Minezaki, I plan to go to Totsuki. Besides being asked by that guy Sōma Yukihira, Totsuki will soon have a training camp.

According to my previous agreement with Senzaemon Nakiri, as a 'Special Student' of Totsuki Academy, I cannot be absent from important assessments and competition activities."

Hearing Seiya's words, Minezaki also sighed greatly. She really wanted to go to Totsuki Academy with Seiya.

Unfortunately, the rules of Totsuki Academy are very strict. As a non-student, it is very difficult to enter the interior of Totsuki.

With the improvement of her physical fitness and Seiya's culinary guidance, she is now confident in passing the entrance exam of Totsuki Academy... Of course, the premise is that the examiner is not a pervert like Erina, but unfortunately, she is no longer old enough to be a high school student.
