Ryūga and Nakiri Mana soon arrived at a cooking classroom open to students, which was equipped with basic cooking utensils.
However, it was during the school sports meet, so the classroom was empty.
Ryūga took a bag out of a cabinet and poured the sand from the bag into an iron pot.
Seeing Ryūga's actions, Nakiri Mana asked with slight curiosity:
"Sand? I don't remember there being any of these in this classroom. Did Ryūga bring them herself?"
"Yes, I prepared this myself. This kitchen is rarely used, so I just put the sand in the cabinet."
"Is Ryūga going to practice with sand?"
"Yes, I've always focused on learning cooking theory, so I still have a lot to learn in terms of practical skills. Now that I only have one year left before entering high school, I must improve my practical skills as much as possible!"
"So I started by practicing the most basic stir-frying techniques."
Should he start by practicing the most basic "stir-frying techniques"?
Nakiri Mana looked thoughtful. Instead of disturbing Ryūga's practice, she sat down on a chair to the side, resting her chin on her hand, and quietly watched how Ryūga honed his basic "stir-frying skills".
Ryūga officially entered a state of study, so even with Nakiri Mana sitting next to him, he was not distracted at all.
Now that we've stepped onto the training field, we must make the most of every minute and second, and not let down time or ourselves.
Only in this way can one fully absorb every bit of valuable experience gained from training.
Just as Ryūga said, starting with the most basic "stir-frying skills" is a really tedious and boring process. Not only is it tedious and boring, but the fatigue in this process is also unexpectedly arduous.
The sand inside the iron pot wasn't particularly heavy, but it still weighed a full two kilograms.
If we only consider the cooking speed of a dish, it only takes a few minutes of stir-frying before the dish is considered cooked.
But Ryūga's pursuit is not just about making a dish passable.
What he wanted to achieve was unparalleled control over the stove.
He must be able to handle the iron wok with ease at all times.
Therefore, at this point, he needs to stir-fry the iron wok hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times to significantly improve his control over it.
During this practice, Ryūga's muscles will develop muscle memory as she exerts force.
Although the practice process was tedious, boring, and very tiring, Ryūga was completely absorbed in it.
Ryūga practiced flipping the pan over and over again, the golden sand rhythmically tracing a beautiful arc in the air before returning to the pan without a single grain falling in.
Ryūga's flipping motion was so precise that it could even be described as pleasing to the eye. Throughout the process, Nakiri Mana watched Ryūga's movements with an appreciative eye.
Although she ranked first in the entire grade, Nakiri Mana had to admit that Ryūga's stir-frying movements were the most standard and graceful she had ever seen.
At this moment, Nakiri Mana was extremely shocked, and at the same time, she also developed a more and more curiosity about Ryūga.
After all, she was in the same class as Ryūga. Although she hadn't interacted much with Ryūga before, Nakiri Mana had still witnessed Ryūga's cooking skills.
His practical skills were clumsy and immature, and he even ranked at the bottom in the theoretical assessment. It's hard to imagine why Ryūga could make such great progress in such a short period of time.
Seeing Ryūga's arduous training, Nakiri Mana finally understood just how diligently this man was improving.
Raising her fair wrist, Nakiri Mana glanced at the time on her watch.
Ryūga must have been practicing for a full hour.
Anyone who works in a kitchen knows just how much work it takes to stir-fry food continuously for an hour.
Ryūga's stamina is amazing!
