Lying on the bed and thinking, Lin Han had a vague premonition in his heart.

Above the seemingly calm Totsuki Academy, there seemed to be a long-brewing storm about to fall.

Lin Han, who was temporarily safe outside the storm, had a good sleep and went to a Chinese restaurant early the next morning.

Along the way, students from Totsuki Academy who had already learned that Lin Han had defeated Eishan Ezuya and won the title of one of the top ten.

They all looked in Lin Han's direction frequently, secretly glancing sideways as if they were not being noticed.

If they gather in groups of three or four, you can vaguely hear their discussions.

"That's him, the freshman from the high school, Lin Hanjun."

"Just over a month after entering school, he defeated the ninth-placed Eishan Ezuya and took the position of the top ten."

"And I heard that within a week, he defeated the eighth-place candidate, Kuga Teruki, and won the position of leader of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society."

"That means we've won two consecutive victories over the top ten..."

"And he's so handsome, too."

In an instant, Lin Han felt that the eyes looking at him from around him seemed to become more enthusiastic.

If I really have to use a description.

20 is like gravy simmering in a pot, thick and hot.

It's almost suffocating.

Some people have even tried to move in their own direction.

Lin Han quickened his pace and walked towards the restaurant.

"President!"

The employees of the Chinese restaurant that opened early saw Lin Han from afar and immediately called out to him excitedly.

Lin Han, who had no intention of being too ostentatious, could only watch helplessly as he was instantly surrounded by club members.

This also includes Teruki Kuga.

"I didn't expect you to actually beat Eishan Ezuya!"

"That's right, especially when we are at such a disadvantage!"

"Great! Now our club has two top ten members, right?"

"This should be an unprecedented situation!"

The excited members gathered around Lin Han like chirping baby birds.

They had already admired Lin Han's cooking skills.

The look he gave Lin Han at this moment was as if he was looking at a god, full of admiration.

Not only that.

The news of the change of the position of the top ten students spread throughout Totsuki Academy in less than a day.

Thanks to this, the Chinese restaurant's turnover nearly doubled today.

The Momotsugaya shop founded by the defeated Eiyama Ezuya suffered a severe loss in its sales on that day.

It even seems like there is a trend of never recovering.

Lin Han was trapped in the restaurant for a whole day by Kuga Teruki and other members on the grounds of "promoting sales growth".

When Erina Nakiri came to the carnival store to settle the sales that day and came to find me.

Finally, I had a reasonable reason to leave my beloved kitchen.

Get away from the gazes of people around you who are staring at you.

"The position of the top ten is so high in their minds. All you have to do is get used to it."

Recalling the rare helpless look on Lin Han’s face when he was surrounded by everyone just now.

Erina Nakiri couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Not really."

Lin Han shook his head and didn't want to make any more excuses.

This time, when Erina Nakiri came, she was not accompanied by her secretary-general Hisako Arato.

Lin Han also felt more and more that the situation was serious.

Just as he expected, Erina Nakiri took him straight to the office of the commander-in-chief of Totsuki Academy.

"Dong dong."

After Erina Nakiri knocked on the door twice, an old voice came from behind the door that looked simple and solemn.

"Come in."

With permission, Erina Nakiri pushed the door open and Lin Han followed behind her.

As soon as he walked into this unbelievably large office, the first thing that caught Lin Han's attention was.

It was the figure sitting behind the desk, who looked a bit old but still had incomparable majesty.

Even though his hair and beard have turned gray and his youth is gone, time has not been able to take away any of his aura.

It was the commander-in-chief of Totsuki Academy, Nakiri Senzaemon.

"grandfather."

Erina Nakiri bowed respectfully to Senzaemon Nakiri.

"General, what can I do for you?"

Lin Han waited until Erina Nakiri stood aside before speaking to Senzaemon Nakiri.

Nakiri Senzaemon looked at the young man in front of him.

"I've seen you."

He spoke in the same majestic voice that Lin Han remembered.

"During the freshman entrance exam, one of your dishes won over Erina."

When her name was suddenly mentioned, Erina Nakiri was stunned at first, then her face turned red. She wanted to explain something but she still kept her mouth shut.

Nakiri Senzaemon's eyes were as sharp as lightning, but when they fell on Lin Han, they were full of admiration.

"Your cooking is excellent. No wonder given Erina's personality, she still praised your cooking after you refuted her so many times."

For Nakiri Senzaemon, who watched Eri Nakiri grow up, no one understands Eri Nakiri's character better than him.

"Thank you for the compliment, Commander."

Lin Han still maintained his attitude of neither servility nor overbearance, even though the person sitting in front of him was a master in the culinary world.

This made Nakiri Senzaemon very satisfied.

"The reason I called you here today is because I have something I want to entrust to you."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Totsuki Academy will face a serious crisis in a while."

"In order to deal with this crisis, I asked Erina to find you, hoping to get your help."

"My help?"

Although I know that there must be a reason why Nakiri Senzaemon found me.

But when Lin Han heard the word "help" from the mouth of this culinary master.

There was still a slight sense of surprise in my heart.

But he remained calm on the surface.

"Excuse me, Commander, what kind of help do you mean?"

"A man who will influence Totsuki Academy and even the entire culinary world is coming back soon."

Nakiri Senzaemon clasped his fingers together, his face solemn.

Even the scar on his eyelid looked more horrifying than usual.

At the same time, Lin Han also noticed that Erina Nakiri, who was standing next to him, had a slightly pale face.

She even bit her lower lip unconsciously.

This is a deep-seated expression of fear.

Even Erina Nakiri, the Ice Queen, couldn't help but show this expression.

Lin Han's heart moved and he looked at Nakiri Senzaemon.

"Many years ago, this young man wanted to change the entire culinary world because of his radical cooking style."

"He believed that a central gastronomic institution should be formed by chefs with absolute authority to study cooking recipes."

“Others with less talent can just follow the steps to avoid meaningless food exploration.”

really.

"Plus, he used improper education methods on Erina because of his radical cooking style."

"Therefore, I expelled him from the Nakiri family."

Nakiri Senzaemon looked at Nakiri Erina and saw that the latter looked a little miserable but still maintained a positive expression.

A hint of tenderness for family affection flashed across his usually dignified eyes.

"And now, the man who was expelled from the Nakiri family wants to make a comeback and take control of the culinary world again."

"Totsuki Academy was his first target!"

Listening to Nakiri Senzaemon's story, the clues in Lin Han's mind became clearer and clearer.

Even the culinary master, Nakiri Senzaemon, is deeply afraid of him.

He is the person that Erina Nakiri fears.

Lin Han is completely certain that this is Erina Nakiri's biological father, Akihiro Nakiri.

In other words, this was his real name before he married into the Nakiri family, Nakamura Aki.

Nakamura Ji's views on cooking are very extreme, just as Nakiri Senzaemon said.

Nakamura Ji wants to transform the culinary world into one where a small number of elites have absolute dominance.

After marrying into the Nakiri family, Nakamura Aki's ambitions gradually became exposed.

Even her daughter, Erina Nakiri, has the divine tongue inherited from her mother.

Therefore, when Erina was still very young, Nakamura Kishi gave Erina Nakiri extremely strict and cruel training.

Nakamura Ji's actions undoubtedly touched Nakiri Senzaemon's bottom line.

Therefore, Nakiri Senzaemon expelled him from the Nakiri family.

In the original work, Nakamura Ji made a comeback after a period of dormancy.

Not only did he secretly collude with more than half of the Ten Elites and gain their support, he also successfully impeached Nakiri Senzaemon.

With the recommendation of the Ten Elites, he became the commander-in-chief of Totsuki Academy.

He intends to promote his own ideal cooking rules to the Japanese culinary world.

All in all, this is a person with an extreme and cruel personality.

"Why is the commander-in-chief so sure that Totsuki Academy will fall into his control?"

"Without your approval and that of the Ten Elites, no one will be able to shake the Totsuki Academy from your hands."

Lin Han deliberately showed a hint of confusion.

Erina Nakiri beside him answered this question for Lin Han.

"400 means that more than half of the top ten have passed a certain proposal."

"Then even the commander-in-chief must comply with this resolution."

Lin Han nodded.
