Chapter 385: Totsuki isn't the only one in the world who can learn cooking
"I closed the shop early today... But none of this matters anymore. I came here mainly to tell you that I have decided to go to the Totsuki Academy that my father mentioned.

I plan to go to Totsuki Academy to take the entrance exam tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"

Soma Yukihira made this decision after careful consideration.

Because they will be going to high school after this summer vacation, instead of wasting time in some ordinary high school, why not go directly to Totsuki Gakuen, the culinary school?

Didn't his father and Seiya both praise Totsuki Academy highly? So he wanted to go and see what was so great about this academy.

After hearing Soma Yukihira's invitation to Seiya, before Seiya could say anything, Yaeko Minezaki, who was standing beside him, already had a look of loneliness on her face.

Of course, she had heard of the name of Totsuki Academy. In fact, in this culinary world, only those students who could successfully graduate from Totsuki were considered the true social elites of this world.

Putting aside the outrageous 1% graduation rate, simply wanting to enter Totsuki Academy is an extremely difficult challenge in itself.

Because if you want to study at Totsuki Academy, you can't rely on backdoor connections. You either need to pass the difficult entrance examination or get the approval of the Totsuki commander-in-chief.

However, Minezaki, who had witnessed the cooking skills of Seiya and Soma Yukihira, knew very well that the entrance examination of Totsuki Academy might be difficult for ordinary people, but with the strength of Seiya and Soma Yukihira, it would not be a problem for them to pass the entrance examination.

Because Minezaki once had the honor of tasting the food of Totsuki graduates.

Although he is not a prodigy like the "Ten Great Masters of Totsuki", he was able to graduate from Totsuki Academy, and his strength is enough to kill 80% of the chefs in this country in seconds.

In Minezaki's opinion, Seiya and Soma Yukihira's previous meat dishes were not inferior to each other, and both of them were able to graduate from Totsuki Academy, so she thought it should not be difficult for Seiya and Soma to pass the entrance examination.

As for why she felt lonely because of this, the main reason was that she knew that Totsuki Academy was a boarding culinary school that provided closed-door education.

In other words, if Seiya really went to Totsuki Academy with Soma Yukihira, then this "Wenren Restaurant" would definitely have to close temporarily.

As a waitress who had just been successfully hired, she would probably be unemployed again soon...

Although he had only worked in the store for one day, and the work was indeed a lot and very tiring, Minezaki liked this extremely fulfilling feeling.

She originally thought that such days could last for a long time, but she didn't expect that it would come to an end so soon.

Minezaki didn't think Seiya would refuse Yukihira Soma's invitation. After all, that was Totsuki Academy, the highest institution of learning for young chefs like them.

Compared to people like her, young men like Seiya and Soma Yukihira are the future prides of heaven. After all, she is not on the same path as them...

"Totsuki Academy... What a pity! If my mom hadn't gone back to her hometown, I really wanted to go there with you and show off.

After all, according to the general plot, going there will definitely allow you to slap a lot of geniuses in the face, and then gain a large number of experience packs and the like.

But unfortunately, if I really went to Totsuki Academy, when my mom returns and sees the closed restaurant, I'm afraid I'll be torn into pieces...

"And I've also decided that if my mother hasn't returned in a while, I'll also be going back home." Hearing Seiya's words, Soma Yukihira showed a look of regret. Although he wasn't sure how powerful the culinary genius of the same age mentioned in his father's letter, or the "Ten Greatest Totsuki" mentioned by Seiya, after experiencing two defeats, he already regarded Seiya as a formidable opponent.

If Seiya also followed him to Totsuki Academy, then he could continue to challenge him.

But now if Seiya actually chooses to stay, then the outcome between them will only be kept until he graduates from Totsuki Academy.

Compared to the regretful Soma Yukihira, Yaeko Minezaki was a little surprised and secretly happy when she heard the choice made by Seiya at this moment.

"Why did you refuse Yukihira Soma's invitation? If you closed the school to attend Totsuki Academy, I'm sure your mother wouldn't blame you even if she knew.

After all, Totsuki Academy is practically the highest institution for young chefs, and every parent wants their children to succeed."

During dinner, Minezaki didn't look forward to the food prepared by Seiya like he did in the morning and at noon, or even compete with him for food. Instead, he asked the doubts in his mind absentmindedly.

He was originally wolfing down his food, unable to compete with the meat-loving girl Minezaki, and ultimately had to eat the leftovers. When he heard the other party's question, he swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Totsuki Academy is indeed the highest culinary school in your area.

But don't forget, our family comes from a true land of gourmets. Totsuki Academy might indeed be a good place for training in the eyes of many chefs, but if it were my mother, she might not look at it with such high regard. After all, she is...

All in all, you just need to understand that Totsuki is not the only place in the world where you can learn cooking skills.

You don't have to worry that I will suddenly change my mind and make you unemployed right after you start working, because for me, Totsuki is really not a must."

Seeing that Seiya seemed to have heard her hidden meaning, Minezaki showed a trace of panic on his face, but after hearing Seiya's assurance, he was completely relieved.

Once you feel at ease, your appetite will naturally improve.

But when she looked at the table again, she found that the dishes that had smelled so fragrant before were now only leftovers!

Minezaki: (*｀へ*) I'm so angry! Just now, because I was too concerned about whether Seiya would go to Totsuki, I actually gave this brat an opportunity to take advantage of me!
"Ms. Minezaki, you seem to be quite interested in Totsuki Academy. Then why didn't you choose to be a chef before, but became a white-collar worker in a company?"

Minezaki, who was cleaning up the leftovers while eating, looked at Seiya unhappily when he heard his question and said, "Everyone knows that being a chef is the most promising career in this world.

But I'm just a country girl, and my family isn't a culinary world. Do you think anyone can enter Totsuki Academy?"

Because it is a world of cuisine, chefs consider their own skills and cooking secrets more important than anything else.

Any student who can enter Totsuki Academy must be from a culinary family or have a family that is a tycoon in the catering industry.

When Minezaki graduated and came to the big city, she had thought about becoming a chef in order to climb the ladder, but she worked as a handyman for several years. The head chef didn't even bother to teach her, and was wary of her like a thief.
