Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 438: Qian Hinatazi: Seiya is more powerful than you think!

Although Soma Yukihira has always said that Seiya's cooking skills are very strong, and he has lost to Seiya more than once.

However, Seiya is a big shot who can easily get rare ingredients. The people in Polar Star Dormitory don’t know whether Seiya used rare ingredients to defeat Soma Yukihira before?
However, through the stories told by Ryoko and Tadokoro Megumi this time, Yoshino Yuuki and Marui Zenji had a better idea of ​​the situation.

Knife skills so fast that only afterimages can be seen, firework that is like flame magic, and dishes that even the top ten graduates are amazed...

It's no wonder that Soma Yukihira always felt under a lot of pressure before, and after coming to Totsuki, he was completely relaxed when facing the current top ten talents Isshiki Kei and Nakiri Erina.

Isn't this natural? With a genius monster like Seiya as his childhood friend, Soma Yukihira's ability to withstand pressure must have been maximized since he was a child, right?

"To be able to make the Ten Best Graduates rave about this dish, does that mean that Seiya is now capable of competing for the Ten Best Graduates of Totsuki?"

Yoshino Yuuki's words also reminded everyone present that at the food battle venue between Soma Yukihira and Nikumi, Erina Nakiri seemed to have declared war on Seiya, right?

Compared to Seiya, who is not one of the "Tatsuki Ten", Erina, who is one of the Ten, has a much simpler process to apply for food battle competitions from ordinary students.

But if the "Tatsuki Ten" lose in the food battle, they will still have to bear the consequences...

In other words, if Erina loses the competition with Seiya, her position in the Totsuki Ten Elites will be replaced by Seiya!

"That's impossible. I've negotiated with Totsuki's general, Senzaemon Nakiri, before. As a "special student" of Totsuki, although I have some privileges that ordinary students don't have, some of my rights are also restricted.

This includes my inability to become one of the "Ten Great Men of Totsuki" who hold a certain degree of authority in Totsuki.

After hearing Seiya's explanation, Ryoko, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but look regretful and said, "That's such a pity. I was thinking that with Seiya's ability, he would definitely have a chance to compete for a place in the top ten in his freshman year.

In this way, our Polar Star Dormitory will have the second of the Ten Greatest Students of Totsuki. If the rest of us work hard, maybe we can help Polar Star Dormitory break a record before we graduate.

We are striving to achieve the largest number of residents in the history of the Pole Star Dormitory's Top Ten."

"There's nothing to regret. I wasn't particularly interested in a spot on the Totsuki Ten anyway."

Totsuki's students might consider a spot among the "Top Ten" as the highest honor, but in Seiya's opinion, it's just that.

If we only consider the world view of "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma", the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki might be quite impressive.

But the problem is that this world now has a mixture of Cooking Master Boy and another high-powered food anime, and the so-called Ten Great Masters of Totsuki now seem to be just that.

There are nearly a thousand new students in Totsuki every year, and there are ten positions for the top ten. It may seem impressive to select one out of a thousand, but compared with the flower-growing and culinary world with a longer tradition and a larger population base, the gap is still quite large.

After all, even in the dark culinary world that everyone hates, they don’t want just anyone. They only want those geniuses picked out of a million.

"Even though he can't become one of the 'Ten Greatest Totsuki', if Seiya has this kind of ability, he shouldn't be afraid of facing the demanding chef Shinomiya. You don't know that our D group's assessment instructor today is Chef Shinomiya, and his culinary requirements are simply..."

At the lecturer's lounge at Totsuki Resort, the ten outstanding graduates of Totsuki who had just taken a hot spring bath gathered together at the invitation of Dojima Gin and started talking about the outstanding students in this year's Totsuki class.

"It's just so-so. Overall, I didn't find any particularly outstanding individuals, but there are some who are worth cultivating."

This is what Fuyumi Mizuhara said, who graduated from the same class of 79 as Kojiro Shinomiya but came in second.

"I've discovered quite a few talented people in my group, but the most amazing one among them is probably the commander-in-chief's granddaughter, Erina Nakiri, who possesses the 'God's Tongue'."
Oh, this is truly remarkable. She possesses such exceptional talent, and is one of the youngest top ten talents in history. It's truly hard to imagine how far she will go in the future."

These are the words of Donato Gotoda, one of the 80th Outstanding Ten Graduates of Totsuki.

"Compared to our class, it's only average, but there are quite a few who are just filling in the gaps, so I gave quite a few people unsatisfactory reviews today."

After hearing what Shinomiya Kojiro said, Donato Wutongtian and others also showed helpless bitter smiles.

Based on their understanding of Shinomiya Kojiro, they could roughly guess that the group Shinomiya Kojiro was in charge of today should have the largest number of dropouts.

"What about Hinata? The group you were in charge of today had the most unqualified people. Don't you have any feelings about that?"

When they heard what Dojima Gin said suddenly, all the Totsuki graduates present were surprised and looked at Inui Hinatako in unison.

To be honest, among the Totsuki graduates present, everyone has always believed that Shinomiya Kojiro, who has always been meticulous about cooking and even a little neurotic, is the one who caused the most Totsuki students to drop out this time.

But what they never expected was that the "Devil King" was actually someone else, and it was the person they least expected, Qian Hinatako!
You know, among the Totsuki lecturers this time, Inui Hinatako should be considered the most talkative one. Everyone originally thought that the group she was in charge of should have the largest number of qualified students. But now Dojima Gin said that the number of Totsuki students eliminated in Inui Hinatako's group was even greater than that in Shinomiya Kojiro's group.

"Hey, Hinatako, what's going on here?"

In response to Mizuhara Fuyumi's question, Inui Hinatako sighed deeply and said, "Regarding the group I'm in charge of this time, the reason why the highest number of people failed the exam wasn't because of my strictness, but because of that 'special student' from before."

Then, Inui Hinatako told everyone the content of her class test and the cooking that Seiya had done.

"So, you're overly greedy. After eating that whole plate of raw food, you lost your appetite for the rest of the food. That's why you gave those students low scores?"

The Totsuki graduates present couldn't help but feel curious about what kind of food it was that could make Inui Hinatako unable to resist eating more.

"That's only part of the reason. Another reason is that when Wenren Shengya was cooking, the noise he made was too loud, so many students around him were affected by it and even had their performances disrupted."
