After the morning trial, Tadokoro Megumi's culinary skills once again astonished everyone, and at the same time, a group of failing students were expelled.
However, even so, the assessment still needed to continue, and the remaining students could only grimace as they prepared for the next challenge.
"Mr. Liu, tomorrow is the last day of the training. It's time to tell me the ingredients you need, so I can prepare them for you." Gin Dojima brought it up again.
Liu Ming pondered for a moment. This time, he didn't refuse and readily stated the ingredients he needed.
"Sea bream, huh! I didn't expect you to choose it. Are you planning to make Spring roll?" Gin Dojima asked curiously.
"You know that too?" Liu Ming asked strangely.
"Of course! I've inquired about many things concerning you. Mystical Mapo Tofu, Reincarnated Spring roll, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Phoenix Crystal—these are all the dishes on your current special menu. I've been wanting to taste them for a long time," Gin Dojima said with anticipation.
"Didn't you already taste Phoenix Crystal last time?" Liu Ming said.
"That's different. Although it's the same dish, a disciple is still just a disciple. I want to taste what you make with your own hands." Gin Dojima stared at Liu Ming with burning eyes.
"As long as you prepare the money, my restaurant welcomes you to dine anytime." Liu Ming shrugged indifferently.
"Uh, can you not be so vulgar? Haven't we been getting along quite happily these past few days? Can't you invite me to your home as a guest?"
Gin Dojima was speechless. He, the general manager of Totsuki Resort, had been so warmly entertaining Liu Ming these past few days.
Who knew that when Liu Ming was about to leave, he wouldn't appreciate it?
Liu Ming rolled his eyes at him, then said earnestly, "Small business, can't afford to lose money."
Hearing this, Gin Dojima was even more speechless.
He knew the prices of those dishes; the lowest was 100,000. Yet he still dared to say it was a small business, it was clearly a huge profit.
"Remember to prepare some loose clothes tomorrow, otherwise you know the consequences." Liu Ming finally remembered this matter and quickly reminded him.
Gin Dojima couldn't help but recall the situation during Kojiro Shinomiya and Tadokoro Megumi's Shokugeki last time.
If all the students experienced that scene, he, as the person in charge, couldn't afford to lose face, so he quickly nodded in agreement.
.....
Time flew by again.
At noon, Gin Dojima once again used the hotel's broadcast to notify all students to gather in the lobby.
Having had the tragic experience last time, everyone looked at Gin Dojima on the stage with trepidation, fearing that he would once again issue some difficult test questions.
"Where's Megumi? Why don't I see her?" Yoshino Yuuki asked strangely.
The Polar Star Dormitory members had already gathered, but Tadokoro Megumi was missing.
As for the possibility of Tadokoro Megumi being expelled, they wouldn't even consider it.
After all, with the incident involving Kojiro Shinomiya, no one would dare to deliberately make things difficult for her.
However, she was indeed not here.
This made the Polar Star Dormitory members a little worried.
At this moment, Gin Dojima on the stage began to speak.
"Everyone is here, right? Before I talk about the main topic, allow me to say a few words."
"Mr. Dojima," Yoshino Yuuki quickly raised her hand.
"Hmm, do you have something to say?" Gin Dojima raised an eyebrow, but didn't pay much attention.
"Not everyone is here. Megumi is not here, I don't know where she went." Yoshino Yuuki said with a slightly nervous expression.
"Megumi? Oh, you mean Tadokoro Megumi. Don't worry, she's fine. She's with Mr. Liu right now," Gin Dojima said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you for telling us." Yoshino Yuuki said.
"Hmm, then let's continue our previous topic…" Gin Dojima began his speech.
In short, it was just some words of encouragement and exhortation.
Upon learning that the training had ended, everyone present became excited.
Especially when they learned that they would have the opportunity to taste dishes made by graduates, they became even more excited. They couldn't help but cheer, celebrating the end of hell.
These were dishes made by graduates; many people might not even have this opportunity in their lifetime.
"Finally, before you enjoy the food, please put on the clothes we have prepared for you." Gin Dojima waved his hand, and waiters immediately brought in clothes.
These clothes were all extra-large, so there was no need to worry about anyone not fitting into them.
Although everyone was puzzled, since Gin Dojima said so, they could only comply.
Soon, all the students changed into their clothes and happily came to the restaurant.
Watching the graduates come in with their signature dishes, everyone couldn't help but show happy expressions.
After working so hard for so many days, they finally welcomed spring.
Just as everyone was happily enjoying the food, Liu Ming also appeared in the restaurant, and accompanying him was Tadokoro Megumi, whom the Polar Star Dormitory members had just been looking for.
"Megumi, over here, over here!" Yoshino Yuuki immediately stood up and happily waved her small hand at Tadokoro Megumi.
"Master~" Tadokoro Megumi looked at Liu Ming.
Liu Ming gently rubbed her head and softly said, "Go, share this joy with your friends."
"Mm." Tadokoro Megumi smiled brightly and quickly walked towards Yoshino Yuuki.
"Megumi, where did you go?" Sakaki Ryoko asked curiously after Tadokoro Megumi sat down.
"It's like this, this banquet now, isn't it that the graduates are making the dishes? My master also needs to make a dish."
"Because it's a new dish, Master asked me to follow along and learn," Tadokoro Megumi said with a happy expression.
"Tsk tsk, Mr. Liu is really good to you. He even thought of you for something like this." Sakaki Ryoko's tone was full of envy.
"Hehe." Tadokoro Megumi scratched her head a little shyly, but the smile on her face became even brighter.
"Sigh~ I also wish I had a master who doted on me like that!" Yoshino Yuuki also said enviously.
"Forget it, you can't force that. And compared to that, I'm more curious about what kind of dish Mr. Liu will make. I've never eaten his cooking before," Yukihira Soma said with anticipation.
"Yes, just a few words of guidance from him made me suddenly enlightened. It shows how profound Mr. Liu's culinary skills are," Sakaki Ryoko nodded in agreement.
The other members of Polar Star Dormitory also nodded in agreement. These past few days, they had occasionally sought guidance from Liu Ming.
And Liu Ming, because of Tadokoro Megumi, did not refuse them.
This, in turn, led to a significant improvement in everyone's cooking skills.
"Hehe, I guarantee you won't be disappointed." Tadokoro Megumi felt honored to see her friends praise Liu Ming so much.
