After three years of dormancy, the Gourmet Tyrant was born.

After three years of dormancy, the Gourmet Tyrant is born. (Author: DouDouYiYi)

Lu Xuanyu transmigrates to the world of Food Wars and is adopted by Kobayashi Rindou's family.

Yuan Yue spent three years in seclusion during junior high school, quietly accumulating strength, and eventually became the number one scumbag in the entire school.

Upon entering high school, the first step is to start with the Top Ten!

We must make Totsuki Academy truly understand the "Gourmet Tyrant"!

Kobayashi Rindou: You brat, when did you become so powerful and rich? You were just pretending with your sister before!

Erina Nakiri: Among my peers, I don't allow anyone to challenge the authority of my "God Tongue," etc... How come you also have God Hand and God Smell?

Alice Nakiri: How dare you say someone has white legs, a white face, and a big, muscular build, but no brains? That's outrageous!

Megumi Tadokoro: Genba-kun, thank you for taking care of me. Is there anything I can help you with? Anything is fine!

Mito Ikumi: Why? Why are you the behind-the-scenes boss of my family's conglomerate?

……

A student who has been a C-grade student for 1 years is challenging for the ninth seat of the Ten Outstanding Students!

The evening before the opening ceremony of the new semester at Totsuki Academy.

The venue between the moon and the sky.

Because tomorrow is the opening ceremony, all junior high and senior high school students have already returned to school.

This grand food battle attracted a huge audience.

The Moonlit Sky Room is the dedicated venue for the Totsuki Elite Ten Council members to hold culinary duels.

Tonight, with the consent of several members of the Top Ten, a special battle for the Top Ten seats was held as an exception.

The two sides in the duel:

The ninth seat of the Elite Ten, Eizan Etsuya (second year of high school)!

Lu Xuanyu (First year of high school)!

The theme of the competition: Vegetable dishes!

At this point, the cooking stage is complete, and the judging stage has begun.

The students and audience at the scene were engaged in heated discussions, creating a bustling atmosphere.

In the fourth row from the middle, a flag bearing the name "Polaris Dormitory" was held high above the crowd, attracting a lot of attention.

Daigo Aoki and Shoji Sato, the two die-hard fans, cheered loudly for Lu Xuanyu:

"Xuan Yu, do your best to leave no regrets! Let them know that perennial C-grade students are not to be trifled with!"

"Don't give up! This is your first food battle since you enrolled. You'd better die standing up!"

Upon hearing their conversation, Marui Zenji adjusted his glasses and rebuked them:

"Do you two want Xuan Yu to win or lose? What are you yelling about?!"

Ibuzaki, who was usually quiet, kept his head bowed deeply.

"You can't blame them; it was a reckless battle with no chance of winning."

"The gap between Lu Xuanyu, who barely passed the high school entrance exam, and the ninth seat of the Ten Outstanding Talents, who is known as the 'Alchemist,' is too great."

The seat next to me.

Megumi Tadokoro, a timid girl with blue double braids, is repeatedly writing the character "人" (person) on her hand and popping it into her mouth.

"Xuan Yu Jun, don't get expelled!"

"Xuan Yu Jun, please don't get expelled!"

"Xuan Yu Jun, don't get expelled!"

"Xuan Yu Jun, please don't get expelled!"

"..."

Yoshino Yuuki, who had her hair in a bun, grabbed Tadokoro Megumi's hand.

"Xiao Hui! It's Xuan Yu in the food battle, not you. Why are you more nervous than him?"

"The equal conditions for this food battle are not expulsion. Even if Xuan Yu loses, he will not be expelled!"

With a flushed and anxious face, Tadokoro Megumi was pulled back to reality by Yoshino Yuuki's words.

"No, not as a condition for dropping out of school?"

"Really? Oh wow...that's great!"

"Eh?"

"Wait a minute, if it's not about dropping out of school, what other bet could Xuan Yu Jun possibly offer that would make the Ten Elites accept the Food War challenge in exchange for their seats?"

When Tadokoro Megumi learned that Lu Xuanyu was preparing to fight against the ninth seat of the Ten Heroes, she was so worried that she didn't even look at the news report.

All she knew was that her classmate and dormitory mate, who had repeatedly helped her throughout her three years of junior high, was about to embark on a path of self-destruction...

The opponent is an alchemist, Eizan Etsuya!

Ryoko Sakaki, a girl with long, straight purple hair, was wiping the fine beads of sweat from her forehead with a tissue.

I was not only tense because of the fierce food battles on the field, but also shocked by the description of Lu Xuanyu in the news report.

"Twenty percent of the shares in Far Moon Resort!"

"This is the wager Xuan Yu has put up for the duel: a bet against Senior Ruishan for the ninth seat among the Ten Outstanding Individuals!"

"It's written very clearly in the report, Xiao Hui!"

Ryoko Sakaki repeated the contents of the news report, and even though she had seen it once, she was still shocked when she said it again.

We all lived together in Polaris Dormitory for three years.

In everyone's eyes, Lu Xuanyu was just a handsome but mediocre bad boy.

Over the course of three years, 90% of the grades in all subjects were grade C!

A typical optimist who thinks "passing is good enough"!

In the three years that followed, he generated quite a few scandals thanks to his good looks and height.

Rumor has it that he dated 66 girls in three years, hurting 66 sincere hearts!

His roommates naturally knew that rumors shouldn't be taken at face value, but Lu Xuanyu's treatment of them...

"Totsuki Resort?"

"what?!"

"Is it that ultra-luxury resort operated by the academy group I know, the annual study base for the high school students?"

"Xuan Yu Jun, he's actually... he's actually a rich young master?"

Tadokoro Megumi was still incredulous, looking at Lu Xuanyu below the stage in surprise.

She was a girl from a small town, and her background was looked down upon by many wealthy young men.

Over the course of three years, Lu Xuanyu felt like a friendly older brother next door, with no sense of social distance between them.

Tadokoro Megumi originally thought that the two were similar in status and background, but she never expected that they were worlds apart!

"You weren't the only one who was startled, Xiaohui."

"Everyone was kept in the dark; we never expected Xuan Yu to be so well hidden!"

"He told me last month that he was an orphan who was adopted by someone. What a scumbag and big liar!"

Ryoko Sakaki bit her lower lip, muttering to herself in dissatisfaction.

Yoshino Yuuki, with a mischievous grin, moved closer to Sakaki Ryoko:

“Xuan Yu can even say things like that to you, hehe.”

"Ryoko really knows a lot about Genyu, as expected of his 66th girlfriend!"

Ryoko Sakaki's cheeks flushed red as she gripped Yuuki Yoshino's shoulders tightly.

"I've said it so many times, I've never dated him!"

"How come I'm getting caught up in this whole drama?!"

"Yuji, I think it's you who likes Lu Xuanyu, but you're just too afraid to say it!"

Yoshino Yuuki repeatedly begged for mercy, ending the conversation.

Ryoko Sakaki let out a long breath, regained her composure, and continued:

"There's another unexpected piece of news..."

"The news agency's reporter uncovered the basic information that Xuan Yu filled out when he enrolled in school."

"His guardian's name is listed as 'Kobayashi Rindou'!"
