Food Wars!: Delicious Food of the Heavens

Chapter 94 The Nighttime Raid

The atmosphere became somber as everyone complained.

Megumi Tadokoro chimed in, "Looks like everyone had a tough day!"

"I also feel a bit tired."

Feeling intense fatigue throughout her body, Tadokoro Megumi's mood also became somewhat low, and her voice sounded weak and listless.

"My whole body is sore and weak, I have no strength at all, I don't want to move at all, I just want to lie down in bed and get a good night's sleep."

"What? Sleep?"

Upon hearing Tadokoro Megumi's words, Yoshino Yuuki suddenly chuckled, "Megumi, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Eh?"

Tadokoro Megumi looked at Yoshino Yuuki with a puzzled expression. "Yuuki, what's wrong?"

"hey-hey!"

Yoshino Yuuki revealed a mysterious smile.

"Let me tell you, the real enjoyment of time is just beginning!"

Meeting everyone's gaze, Yoshino Yuuki crossed her arms over her chest and held her head high.

"I had already inquired before coming here. Not only does the Totsuki Resort have a super large bath, but more importantly... the hot water in the bathroom is drawn from natural hot springs!"

"Wow!"

The people in Polaris Dormitory were immediately intrigued by Yoshino Yuuki's words!

"And it's not just the bathroom!"

Yoshino Yuuki continued in her seductive voice, "Exquisite dinners, luxurious rooms, massage spas..."

Yoshino Yuuki opened her arms wide, her face full of excitement, and shouted to the crowd:

"Everyone, get this straight, this is the [Tootsuki Resort]! This is the Tootsuki Resort where a night's stay costs 100,000 yen!"

"As a five-star hotel, every service must be luxurious and extravagant! Extremely luxurious!"

Yoshino Yuuki smiled, her eyes crinkling with excitement, her body trembling.

"Oh my god! Just thinking about it makes me so excited I could faint!"

"Because of the joint training program, we finally managed to stay at this luxurious resort, so we definitely have to make the most of it!"

"Hahaha!"

Yoshino Yuuki laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

"Why bother sleeping at a time like this? It's a waste of time!"

"If we don't take this opportunity to fully enjoy ourselves, even God would be angry!"

The crowd was stirred up by Yoshino Yuuki, and they cheered and jumped for joy.

"Um... we have an assessment tomorrow, so why don't we get some rest?"

Megumi Tadokoro tried to persuade them, but looking at the cheering crowd, the timid woman felt embarrassed, and her voice grew weaker and weaker.

Somewhat anxious, Tadokoro Megumi subconsciously looked at Lin Yu.

"Lin Yujun, everyone..."

'

Tadokoro Megumi's eyes held a pleading look, and Lin Yu naturally wouldn't refuse. He gently patted her shoulder, signaling her to step aside.

"Okay, Xiaohui, I'll do it."

Lin Yu walked into the crowd, grabbed the lively Yoshino Yuuki, and shouted, "Alright everyone, quiet down!"

Hearing Lin Yu's greeting, everyone in the Polaris Dormitory quieted down a bit.

"I suggest that everyone should not have such a relaxed attitude."

Yoshino Yuuki grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Why did Lin Yu-jun say such a downer!"

"I didn't mean to spoil everyone's fun, but today is only the first day of our residential training."

Lin Yu looked around. "Do you remember all the important advice and reminders that Senior Isshiki gave us before we set off?"

"If the joint training program at Totsuki Academy is really that simple, why is Isshiki-senpai so worried? And why is this short training program, which lasts less than a week, so feared throughout the entire campus?"

Seeing that everyone had calmed down a bit, Lin Yu changed the subject and said with a smile, "Of course, I don't mean to make everyone worry unnecessarily. You have to be tense when you need to be, and you also have to relax when you need to relax. A balance between work and rest is the only way to maintain your best condition and meet the challenges of each day."

Yoshino Yuuki breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. "You scared me to death! I thought you were going to lead everyone to become ascetics, Lin Yujun."

Ryoko, standing beside her, ruffled her hair. "Lin Yujun meant to tell you not to get too cocky. Be careful you don't get eliminated one day; you'll be crying then!"

"No way!"

Yoshino Yuuki raised her head, a confident smile spreading across her face. "Don't you know my abilities, Ryoko? Passing is definitely not a problem!"

A gentle smile appeared in Ryoko's eyes as she chuckled, "Alright, alright, our Yuuki is the best!"

Yoshino Yuuki was a little embarrassed by the coaxing, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

"However... since Lin Yujun's words make sense, then tonight, I'll reluctantly accept only one service."

Lin Yu, who was standing to the side, nodded with satisfaction.

"Knowing how to exercise self-control is a good thing."

"However, Yuuki, your plans for enjoyment tonight may fall through."

Ah~

"~~

Why?

Lin Yu took out his phone and showed the screen to everyone. "The school sent a message asking all students to gather in the hotel auditorium immediately. It seems they have something to say."

Yoshino Yuuki cried out in anguish, "No!"

"Believe me, everyone, cheer up!"

Lin Yu glanced around, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I have a... bad feeling!"

The members of Polaris Dormitory reluctantly headed towards the hotel lobby, grumbling and complaining all the while.

Lin Yu and Tadokoro Megumi walked at the back of the group.

"How are you feeling today, Xiaohui? Are you tired?"

Feeling a warmth in her heart at Lin Yu's concern, Tadokoro Megumi nodded.

"Just a tiny bit."

Lin Yu nodded and continued, "How difficult was the assessment? Can you handle it?"

"Do you still get so nervous and flustered when facing your supervisor now?"

"Thank you for your concern, Lin Yujun!"

Hearing the gentle tone in Lin Yu's voice, Tadokoro Megumi smiled wearily but also with great joy. "But don't worry, I can keep going!"

Lin Yu nodded. "That's good."

"If you really feel tired, or encounter any trouble, don't keep it to yourself. Remember to come and talk to me or ask for my help, okay?"

Tadokoro Megumi smiled and nodded vigorously. "Yeah! Don't worry!"

Lin Yu smiled and patted Tadokoro Megumi's hair.

Tadokoro Megumi suddenly felt a little shy and subconsciously tried to find a topic to talk about.

"Lin Yu-kun, look," Tadokoro Megumi pointed ahead, "Yuuki doesn't seem to have given up yet!"

At the front of the group, Yoshino Yuuki still hadn't given up.

She and the others from Polar Star Dormitory were still full of anticipation, excitedly imagining how they would enjoy the hot springs after the speech, or perhaps have a lavish five-star dinner, and then return to their luxurious 100,000 yen-a-night room, lie on the soft, spacious bed, and drift off to sleep comfortably.

"This girl... I clearly warned her..."

"7

Lin Yu chuckled. "Never mind, let Yuuki experience heartbreak for herself! Otherwise, she won't give up."

Tadokoro Megumi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Lin Yu-kun is so naughty!"

Lin Yu glanced at Tadokoro Megumi. "You trust me that much? You believe Yuuki will suffer a setback?"

Tadokoro Megumi said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Because that's what Lin Yu said!"

The two exchanged a glance and laughed simultaneously.

Along the way, the crowds began to grow denser, with more and more students heading in the same direction.

Lin Yu stretched out his arm and shielded the frail Tadokoro Megumi from the crowd in the throng, preventing her from being pushed around.

"It's alright," Lin Yu reassured her. "Just walk through this corridor and you'll reach the auditorium."

"Um.

""

Tadokoro Megumi responded softly.

In the crowd, Tadokoro Megumi was bumped into by people behind her from time to time, and she bumped into Lin Yu's arms several times, but fortunately, Lin Yu protected her and no accident happened.

When they finally reached the spacious auditorium after passing through the crowded corridors, Megumi Tadokoro's hair was even a little messy from the crowd.

But Tadokoro Megumi didn't have time to fix her hair. She was extremely shy, her cheeks slightly flushed, and it took her a while to finally break free from Lin Yu's embrace.

Tadokoro Megumi lowered her head, not daring to meet Lin Yu's gaze, and only uttered a sentence in a low voice.

"Thank you, Lin Yujun..."

"7

Lin Yu gently tidied her messy hair and chuckled softly.

"It's fine."

"Ugh! Damn it! We finally squeezed in!"

Yoshino Yuuki let out a wail and finally squeezed into the auditorium, escaping her misery. She then called to the people of Polar Star Dormitory and found a wider corner.

"What's the matter that you have to tell me at night?"

"I was so squeezed I was sweating!"

A disheveled Yoshino Yuuki pounced on Ryoko, complaining in a disgruntled tone, "Damn it!"

"Once I've finished explaining everything, I need to get a spa massage to relax my whole body!"

"Hehe! Then we'll go to the big public bath and have a good soak! We'll really enjoy ourselves!"

Yoshino Yuuki was immersed in her own fantasy, excitedly gesturing and dancing.

"Yuuki, this is so annoying!"

Ryoko made an unhappy sound and removed Yoshino Yuuki from her body with a look of disgust.

"You knew you were covered in sweat, yet you still threw yourself at me?"

"Don't you find it hot to hold you like this!"

"Hehe! Ryoko, don't be angry." Yoshino Yuuki gave a flattering smile. "Anyway, we're going to take a bath later."

Ryoko rolled her eyes at her and flicked her forehead. "Alright, let's listen carefully to what the school has to say."

"Yes, sir!"

Yoshino Yuuki gave a playful salute, then looked towards the front of the auditorium.

"Hey, that's Chef Guan Shouping!"

"etc?"

Yoshino Yuuki saw a familiar figure, but then her expression suddenly changed.

Standing behind him is...

"7

Yoshino Yuuki's expression immediately turned strange.

At the front of the auditorium, Guan Shouping stood with a serious expression and ramrod straight posture.

But behind him, Yoshino Yuuki saw a group of burly, muscular men whose appearance was completely different from that of the "culinary" industry.

Yoshino Yuuki subconsciously swallowed.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered what Lin Yu had just said, and a bad feeling arose in her heart.

"No way..."

"7

Yoshino Yuuki let out a wail, her voice trembling with sobs.

"Waaah, my spa massage and hot springs, are they really gone...?"

'

"Look!"

"That must be Chef Guan Shouping!"

Why is he here?

"I don't know."

"Shut up, be quiet! He moved!"

Inside the auditorium, the students recognized Guan Shouping, who had appeared before them as their mentor that morning.

"Alright, it's almost time. Everyone should be here by now."

Guan Shouping looked around the entire hall, his voice suddenly rising.

Good evening, everyone!

Although he was greeting her, Guan Shouping's voice was surprisingly cold and hard. His expression was serious and unsmiling, and the aura he exuded was like a cold, hard granite, which was very oppressive.

A pair of slightly narrowed eyes swept across the entire room, radiating an invisible chill.

Every student who was stared at by him trembled and instinctively lowered their head, not daring to meet his gaze.

Until his gaze settled on Lin Yu.

Although it was only for a moment, Lin Yu still noticed the gaze falling on him. He frowned slightly, raised his head, and met those cold, hard eyes through the gaps between the backs of countless students.

Their gazes met in the air, sparking an invisible confrontation.

The clash of gazes seemed to stir the air, and Guan Shouping's silence made the atmosphere in the auditorium even more oppressive.

The invisible clash in the air lasted only a moment before Guan Shouping closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again the next second, the cold and hard aura that had been oppressing the entire room vanished without a trace.

"Let me explain briefly!"

"I know that after two intense tests today, everyone must be exhausted."

Guan Shouping's words broke the silence, and all the students present subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

But they soon realized they had relaxed too soon.

"but!"

"I'm telling you, it's not time to rest yet!"

"Ah~~~"

A collective wail suddenly erupted in the auditorium.

"quiet!"

Guan Shouping roared, and the entire auditorium fell silent instantly.

Looking at the students filling the room, Guan Shouping gave a look of disdain.

"You know what? If you were my employees, based on what happened just now, I would fire you without hesitation!"

The anger in Guan Shouping's words sent a chill down the spines of the students nearby.

"Being a chef is a profession where only the hardworking and resilient can succeed!"

"Those who are afraid of hardship and fatigue, and whose willpower is not strong enough, are not fit to walk this path!"

Guan Shouping snorted coldly, his voice both cold and hard.

"Hmph! Be glad you're still just students!"

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."

Guan Shouping's tone softened.

"Tonight's topic is very simple."

Guan Shouping took two steps to the side, pointed behind him, and made all the students notice the group of muscular men behind him.

"Only students who have finished serving these people's dinners can have free time!"

The students exchanged bewildered glances as they looked at the group of burly, muscular men standing in front of the auditorium.

"Who are these burly men?"

"Those muscles look so well-defined!"

Wow~ They're so tall and wide!

"Look! Those thighs are almost as thick as my waist."

"I think one of these guys' arms is as thick as my waist."

""

"With that physique, he seems to have a huge appetite!"

The entire auditorium was immediately filled with a cacophony of voices, creating a very noisy atmosphere.
