However... Soma, with his own creativity, beautifully caught up in the end! Of course, compared to Soma's creativity, Su Luo's dishes were even more eye-opening.

All I can say is that these two are truly brothers; they demonstrated their creativity to the fullest in this competition, and were truly outstanding.

What's even more amazing is the taste... The dishes made by the four of them were all absolutely perfect! Success or failure lies in whether the chef's face can be reflected in the dish. "When the judging began, Senzaemon Nakiri stood up, walked to the front, and said to everyone.

"The chef's...face...?" Soma asked in confusion.

“That’s right, Soshin-kun. A truly unique dish can’t just have an intoxicating taste; it has to make people think of the chef who made it when they’re tasting it…” Nakiri Leonor stretched out a hand and continued to explain.

"In other words... [Only that chef can create this unique dish] - and we all hold this dish in high esteem... calling it the [killer dish]!!!" Dojima Gin continued. As a chef, everyone has their own path. Only by creating their own unique dishes can one be considered a true chef. Otherwise, one is just a machine that constantly copies other people's dishes, without its own soul.

"Ultimately, those who stand at the top are chefs who can pursue their dishes to the extreme! They can ask themselves, 'What is my dish?'... and face other chefs head-on! And that person's name is—" As Nakiri Senzaemon finished speaking, he stopped talking, making the atmosphere even more tense. Everyone held their breath and opened their ears, afraid of missing this last second.

Hayama Akira recalled his past, the boy abandoned not far from the slums, who didn't know who he was, what he could do, or why he existed. At that time, it was Shiomi Jun who saved him, even though Shiomi Jun always seemed so naive. So, he wanted to dedicate this dish to the most important woman in his life.

Chapter 244 The Autumn Selection Tournament Concludes

Yukihira Soro, a lone soul from another world, always has an indifferent expression, looking like a lone wolf on a snowy mountain, making him difficult to approach. However, many people still associate with him, and that warmth is like a ray of sunshine in winter, filling their hearts. In this world, no one would want to be a lone wolf, because they are a group of creatures who help each other.

"Seared sashimi" - this dish is truly a must-try!

Of course... there's also 'fresh'.

So... the final winner is - Yukihira Soro!!!" Finally, under the expectant gazes of everyone, Nakiri Senzaemon announced the final result.

Amidst cheers, the competition officially ended. Su Luo won the championship, Ye Shanliang won the runner-up, and Soma and Jingjing won the gold medal.

"This is my true dish. From beginning to end, I have never lost myself. For me, although my body may not seem perfect, I feel that I have found what I want. So please don't lecture me in that condescending tone anymore. Although I know that I may still have many shortcomings, for some people, this is enough, isn't it?" After winning the championship, Su Luo, standing next to Dojima Gin, showed a faint smile and said to Dojima Gin. Su Luo hated this kind of self-righteous tone that made people think they had everything under control and were omnipotent, even though she may have many shortcomings.

"Xiaoxiao, you're amazing!" After saying this, Su Luo walked off the stage. On the other side, Ryoko Sakaki rushed over and hugged Su Luo tightly. Su Luo's head was immediately trapped between her breasts, and she could only struggle and make a buzzing sound.

"Ryoko, let go of Su Luo-kun! Otherwise, he'll really die!" Yoshino Yuuki said helplessly, looking at Su Luo, whose face was red from struggling.

Watching Su Luo play with her companions, Dojima Gin crossed his arms, closed his eyes briefly, and then smiled faintly, thinking to himself, "Doesn't she like this feeling? What an awkward little kid."

"Perhaps... he really can reach the pinnacle of culinary skills!" Dojima Gin muttered to himself, then looked at the other three energetic people and smiled, thinking to himself, "This year's class is truly dazzling."

To be honest, Su Luo's cooking skills are not necessarily worse than those of these head chefs, but so what? She is still inferior to them in terms of fame and experience. Besides, who didn't start from the same point? Perhaps, all she needs now is an opportunity to make a name for herself.

"Damn it..." Upon hearing that Su Luo had won, Ye Shanliang immediately lost his composure, gritting his teeth as he spat out these words, his heart filled with resentment. Perhaps it was because he had never lost before. Come to think of it, he was born with a super bug like the "Nose of God," which always put him ahead of everyone else at the starting line. In addition, he had never lost, which made him blindly confident and arrogant. However, now that he had lost, even someone with a strong mental fortitude would probably feel this way.

Perhaps, after this experience, he will grow up stronger.

"Hayama-kun, don't look so dejected. It's okay to lose, just try harder next time." At this moment, the other contestants' friends came up. Shiomi Jun still looked dazed, clutching his clothes, and stiffly patted Hayama Ryo's shoulder, comforting him.

"I didn't look disappointed at all, hmph!" After hearing Shiomi Jun's words, Hayama Akira turned his head away arrogantly and said.

Seeing Ye Shanliang's temperamental demeanor, Shiomi Jun showed no reaction. Instead, she protected Ye Shanliang and patted him on the back.

"What... what are you doing... Jun~" Seeing Shiomi Jun's sudden action, Hayama Ryo didn't have time to dodge and was directly hugged tightly by Shiomi Jun. Thinking that they were in public, Hayama Ryo was obviously at a loss, and a blush rose on his bronze cheeks, looking like he was shy.

The "environment" refers to the environment, which is characterized by its own unique features, including its structure, environment, and environment. It is a complex and interconnected environment, where the environment is constantly changing and the environment is becoming increasingly complex and interconnected. This transformation is crucial for maintaining a healthy and stable environment, and for creating a harmonious and sustainable future. 一故歉米约壕�貌恍嫉娜送迸旁谝黄穑杉丝趟男那枫嵌嗝吹牟缓茫皇奔洌壁弈侵挚褚暗钠⒁幌伦游泳兔致顺隼矗醋啪腿萌擞行┬纳ㄇ印�

"How...how terrifying! It feels like something could explode at any moment!"

After the competition ended, preparations were made for the awards ceremony. However, upon seeing the equipment and equipment, the staff noticed something amiss and, without authorization, proceeded with the ceremony.

"Liang Jun!" Just when things were getting awkward, a clear female voice rang out.

"Ah! That's wonderful! Miss Alice!" Upon seeing Alice Nakiri approach, the staff member's face immediately lit up with a bright smile. Alice was practically a savior sent by God! After all, she was Alice's sidekick, and probably only she could subdue the powerful and ruthless.

"Seriously! Seriously, seriously, seriously!!" With Alice Nakiri's absent-minded personality, she wouldn't care about the situation. She pounded Kiba's back with both hands, muttering and complaining, "You still lost while I was watching!"

Are you sure these words are meant to comfort you, and not to make things worse?

"You bastard...that hurts...! What are you doing?! You jerk!!" Already in a bad mood because of losing the game, he was even more upset by the sudden outburst.

"Really... how could he call his master a bastard... how could he do that!" Alice Nakiri covered her mouth, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Chapter 245 Telephone

"We're done! You'd better reflect on your actions before you apologize!" With that, Alice Nakiri stormed off, leaving behind only the echoing sound of her raging anger.

"Little Su Luo, can you make [Fresh] again for me to try?" Soma, clearly still unconvinced after losing, came up to Su Luo and said.

"Let me try it too...you bastard...!" Upon hearing Soma's words, the man who had been grumbling earlier suddenly stopped, his voice trembling with rage. He was now completely bewildered.

"Hmph, I'd like to see what you're really capable of..." Compared to the previous two, the man was now trembling with fear, his expression shifting from a humble, unassuming demeanor to a more serious, almost arrogant, attitude. He was now a mere figurehead, his gaze fixed on the man's retreating figure.

After listening to their words, Su Luo's lips curled into a smile, showing no surprise at the situation.

"That's possible, but it's been so long, the saury definitely won't be as fresh as when it was first brought out. If you want it, that's fine too." During every competition or food battle, unexpected situations are inevitable, so extra ingredients are always prepared. Fresh fish is naturally the best, but in this situation, given the price of saury, they're usually caught dead. Even with ice, they're still much worse than alive. Besides, it's been a while now, and the ice in the box has probably melted quite a bit.

"Even so, it doesn't matter." Everyone naturally understood what Su Luo was saying, but even so, it couldn't stop their chefs' spirit of inquiry.

"Alright then!" Su Luo shrugged and walked to the counter. There was still a lot of soup left over, which was actually just in case, so she cooked a lot.

Next, all I had to do was prepare the saury and put it in the soup. I've done this many times before and I'm very skilled at it. To avoid any trouble, I just used a large earthenware pot. I took the saury out of the box and quickly prepared it, perfectly separating the best pieces of fish meat from the saury, slicing them, and finally putting them in the soup. That's how it's done.

This dish looks simple to make and easy to prepare, but only those in the know understand the difficulties involved.

The preparation of the saury is basically unnecessary; the most important part is making the broth for this dish. The proportions of the ingredients, the cooking time, and the heat level are all the difficult aspects.

In particular, this soup, which is made with nearly a dozen ingredients, only gives people a feeling of 'freshness'. It is evident how difficult it is to decipher. If it weren't for watching Su Luo make it, one might not even know what it is made of. It is precisely because of this that many chefs have their own signature dishes, which are dishes that can hardly be copied by others and can only be made by themselves.

The group enjoyed the dishes Su Luo had just prepared, chatting and eating together in a harmonious atmosphere.

Finally, Su Luo, Jing Du, and Li Na said that the two were very close and that Su Luo was very close and ...

After the competition ended, everyone started to leave. As a member of the Polar Star Dormitory, Su Luo naturally went back with Sakaki Ryoko and the others.

After winning the final championship, the system displayed the message: "Mission: Achieve a top-three finish in the Autumn Selection. If you can't even do something like that, you might as well die. (Completed)"

Task Reward: Upgrade ability by one level

After looking around, it seems there's only one thing I can improve, so I have no choice but to improve my Ice Power from Slight to Basic. However, because the system told me not to use it carelessly, I didn't pay much attention to it even after the improvement.

"Su Luo is really amazing, even though she's so young." Seeing Su Luo win the championship, it's no wonder everyone else was envious. Suddenly, Tian Su thought of comparing himself to Su Luo and realized that he was indeed too weak.

"What do you mean 'so small'?! You're discriminating against me, you know? Don't underestimate me just because I'm small now. I'll definitely be 1.8 meters tall when I grow up." After hearing what Tadokoro said, Su Luo immediately lost her temper and started yelling.

Sure enough, height is the most annoying thing.

"Yes, yes, yes, you'll definitely be 1.8 meters tall when you grow up." Looking at the flustered Su Luo, Ryoko Sakaki nodded casually, thinking to herself, "As expected, no matter how mature she is, she's still just a child."

"Hey, hey, hey, what's with that perfunctory look on your face?" Su Luo said, dissatisfied.

"Alright, everyone! Let's have a good celebration tonight! Let's celebrate Su Luo and Soma taking the top three spots. I bet Mrs. Fumio is jumping for joy right now." Yoshino Yuuki swung her arms energetically, threw a punch towards the sky, and shouted excitedly.

Just as everyone was happily preparing to go back to celebrate, Soma's phone rang at an inopportune moment.

Soma took out his phone and looked at it. It displayed the word 'Father'. After clicking his tongue, he said to the others, "Sorry, you guys go back now..."

"What's wrong, Dad..." Soma answered the phone and said.

"Oh, Soma? It's been a long time. And what happened? How did the official selection tournament go?" After Soma asked this question, a mature male voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Joichiro Yukihira.

"Ah...ah-are you alright? Um-" Upon hearing this question, Soma stammered, unsure of what to say. This was something that was really hard to say.

"Waaaah! Did you lose?! Who's the champion? Hayama Akira? Shiomi's apprentice? Please! This is the same as me losing to Shiomi!" Seeing this situation, Joichiro knew what the outcome would be.

"Ah, no, the champion is Xiao Su Luo." Hearing Cheng Yilang's almost heartless and ungrateful words, Sou Shin felt like he was being tortured. Damn it, this was enough to make him cry. He was filled with pain. Are you sure I'm still your biological child? You must have picked me out of the trash can.

"Haha, so the champion is Xiao Su Luo! He truly lives up to his reputation as my son." Upon hearing this, Cheng Yilang was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting that his youngest son, who had never liked cooking, would give him such a big surprise. He immediately burst into laughter and said, "A loser like you doesn't deserve to answer my call. Give the phone to Xiao Su Luo."

Chapter 246 Daily Life

Hey, hey, hey, Shiroichi, aren't you being a bit arrogant?

Hearing such heartless words, I was absolutely furious.

Soma was completely devastated. Does losing the match mean he's no longer your favorite son? And what do you mean I'm not worthy to answer your call? You were the one who called me! Come out here, I promise I won't kill you.

"Xiao Su Luo, your phone." Soma called out as he ran up to the group that had already walked quite a distance.

"My phone?" Su Luo took the phone in confusion, put it to her ear, and said, "Hello, who is it?"

"Little Su Luo, I am..."

Hearing that familiar voice, Su Luo decisively put down her phone and ruthlessly and decisively pressed the hang-up button.

On the other end, before the smiling Shiro could finish speaking, he heard the dial tone and the phone went dead. He froze, utterly devastated, muttering to himself, "Little Su Luo has grown up and is starting to dislike her dad... Waaah..."

"Hehe, serves him right." Seeing Su Luo's decisive action, Soma couldn't help but laugh. In this family, Joichiro was undoubtedly the most heartless, while Soma's attitude towards them was the coldest, and Soma, the one who suffered, was the most indifferent. After all, how could one survive in this family without a strong heart? So the ranking was 'Su Luo > Joichiro > Soma'.

"Su Luo-kun, what's wrong?" Yoshino Yuuki asked, noticing the strange reactions of Su Luo and Soma.

"It's nothing, just a stranger dialed the wrong number," Su Luo said calmly, as if nothing had happened, and then returned the phone to Chuangzhen.

If Joichiro heard such heartless words, he would definitely cling to Su Luo's leg and cry, and then say a lot of things... Actually, Joichiro is usually a completely irresponsible goofball, so everyone doesn't need to pay attention to him.

"Oh." Yoshino Yuuki clearly didn't believe it, but it was someone else's business, and she couldn't say anything more.

This is the Totsuki Culinary Academy. The autumn selections have been over for several days now, and the first-year high school students are gradually returning to their regular studies...

In the rice bowl research club, Mito Ikumi, carrying a backpack slung over her shoulder, said to Konishi Hiroichi, "I'm leaving now-"

"Oh? Are we going to the Polaris dormitory again today?" Konishi Kanichi asked, looking at the book in his hand. During this time, with the battles and everyone's interactions, their relationships had become more harmonious, and Mito Ikumi often went there as well.

“Yes! I need to buy some wild birds for Yuuki. I’ll be back this evening!” Mito Ikumi said without hesitation, since there was nothing shameful about it.

"Meat Fairy...she's been so energetic lately..." Looking at Mito Ikumi now, compared to her previous aloofness, it felt like this was the real her, giving off a normal, ordinary vibe. Watching Mito Ikumi's departing figure, Konishi Hiroichi stroked his chin, seemingly thinking about something: "Oh...speaking of which...it seems that [that event] is about to start..."

"Oh, it's Mito Ikumi! Welcome, welcome!" In the kitchen of the Polaris dormitory, the atmosphere became lively after Mito Ikumi arrived.

"Everything has been prepared for you." Sakaki Ryoko said to Mito Ikumi who was walking over. During this time, everyone often had cooking exchanges and creations to improve their culinary skills. At the same time, their relationship gradually became more harmonious.

"I'm so sorry to make you come all the way here every time..." Mito Ikumi always came over when she was cooking, and Tadokoro Megumi felt bad about it, so she said this.

Immediately afterwards, Tadokoro Megumi picked up an apron from the side and helped Mito Ikumi put it on, saying, "Here! Let me tie this apron on you... even though it's mine..."

"Oh... thanks, Megumi!" As she spent more time with everyone, Mito Ikumi changed a lot. If it were before, she definitely wouldn't have been able to say something like this apologizing.

"Hehe... How wonderful..." The four girls gathered together and started chattering away.

"A group of lovely girls standing harmoniously in the kitchen... this is the fun of dormitory life..." Isshiki Satoshi, who was only wearing an apron (who knows if it even covered her properly), said with satisfaction as she watched Mito Ikumi and the others busily working, one hand on her hip and her eyes narrowed.

"...But on the surface, it seems far from the word 'cute'..." After hearing Isshiki Satoshi's words, Ibuzaki Shun, who was standing next to him, really didn't know what to say. Are you sure this is 'cute'?
