Shokugeki no Sora: Obtain Lan Feihong's inheritance at the beginning!

The reason couldn't be simpler.

"Erina is the last in the top ten, but that was a seat she had already obtained when she was still in the middle school."

"And she, who possesses the Divine Tongue, is said to have perfectly inherited the bloodline of the Demon King of Food."

"The tenth seat is actually just a cover for her true strength."

Listening to Lin Han's analysis, Saito Souma showed an expression of approval.

"Yes, Si Yingshi and the others have made a preliminary estimate of Erina's current strength. Her true strength should be at least in the top five."

Lin Han smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Although Si Yingshi and others' inference was not wrong, only Lin Han and a few people who were very close to Erina Nakiri knew it.

The real strength of this young lady is far more than just being able to hold five seats.

Lin Han estimated that Erina Nakiri's true strength at this moment should be on par with the top three!

It was a wrong estimate of strength, just like the previous judgment of Lin Han.

But it will have a decisive impact on their failure.

"And after losing to you in the food battle yesterday, my seat has now slipped to ninth."

Saito Somei, who had just experienced absolute failure the day before, looked very frank at this moment.

It seems that he did not become devastated after losing to Lin Han, nor did he become like Eishan Ezu.

From then on, he felt jealous of Lin Han.

This is also the reason why Lin Han wants to win Saito Somei to their side.

Saito Somei, who strictly abides by the Bushido, will firmly follow the path he has chosen no matter where he is.

Like a samurai blade pointing straight forward, it will never deviate even a little bit because of this.

"But this is only a change in seats on the surface. It's obvious that Si and the others, in terms of strength, the real lower five seats, can't beat me."

Saito Somei crossed his arms, and there was a hint of pride in his calm tone.

"So even if I join your side now, if Si and his men want to make a move among the Ten Heroes, they won't start with me."

"Excluding the tenth and ninth seats, the next one is the eighth seat."

Kuga Teruki.

Lin Han looked at Saito Zongming, and the latter looked back at him.

Unlike the other ten heroes, Kuga Teruki is the one who spends the most time with Lin Han.

Now that Si Yingshi and the others have turned their target to Kuga Teruki.

Well, whether it was due to the previous cooperation with Nakiri Senzaemon or out of concern for partners.

Lin Han would never allow anyone to attack Kuga Teruki.

"So, does Saito-senpai have any candidates?"

After a while, Lin Han asked.

The people he was talking about were naturally the ones selected by Si Yingshi and others to deal with Kuga Teruki.

Saito Somei nodded.

"Yes, I don't know if you have heard of the name Ye Shanliang."

"Ye Shanliang..."

Lin Han fell into deep thought.

"You mean, the one with the unusual sense of smell?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Saito Souma's face, and he nodded slightly.

"I originally thought that as a popular first-year student, you wouldn't pay much attention to your classmates."

"Saito-senpai, you're joking. If I really didn't care about my classmates, why would I want them to join the club?"

Lin Han and Saito Zongming smiled at each other.

"Yes, that child."

Saito Souma said, his eyes becoming a little serious.

"Don't underestimate this child if you have heard of the name Shiomi Jun."

"The youngest genius professor in the history of the academy?"

Lin Han answered immediately and Saito Souma nodded.

"Professor Shiomi is known as the 'Spice Authority' in the academy, and Ryo Hayama is the child she adopted."

"Yayama Ryo was an orphan who grew up in a slum in South Asia. He was discovered by Professor Shiomi who happened to be traveling in South Asia at the time and was adopted by him."

453 "Later, Professor Shiomi discovered the child's extraordinary sense of smell. Since he was also an expert in spices, he began to train him."

"Yayama Ryo is good at curry-based dishes, and he is also very knowledgeable about spices."

"When he was still in junior high school, Ye Shanliang was regarded as a candidate for the top ten."

Lin Han listened quietly to Saito Somei's explanation.

"Saito-senpai means that Hayama Ryo-san has joined forces with Tsukasa-senpai and the others."

"And, Tsukasa-senpai and the others might use Hayama-san to deal with Kuga-senpai?"

Saito Somei nodded.

"Kuga is probably best at the Sichuan style of Chinese cuisine, and many spices are used in Sichuan cuisine."

"This coincides with the cooking style of Ryo Hayama, who is good at spice cooking."

"Considering the current situation of the Ten Elites, I think it is very likely that Si Yingshi and the others will make such an arrangement."

Lin Han groaned.

"But if ordinary students want to challenge the top ten, they must pay a corresponding price."

"If Kuga-senpai doesn't agree, or if Hayama-san can't come up with conditions that match those of the Ten Elites, then the Shokugeki will not work."

Saito Somei shook his head.

"If it were just that simple, it would be great."

"Did you know that Si Yingshi once made an agreement with Kuga Teruki?"

"I am now worried that Tsukasa will use this agreement to seduce Kuga and agree to a food battle with Hayama Ryo."

"You guys came out so soon?"

Seeing Lin Han and Saito Soumei coming out of the office quickly, Kuga Teruki showed a surprised expression.

He originally thought that the two of them wanted to communicate with each other and the conversation would probably last a long time.

Lin Han glanced at Kuga Teruki. At this moment, the eighth seat had no idea that he was the focus of their conversation just now.

"In that case, I'll take my leave now."

Saito Somei returned to his silent self and bowed slightly to Lin Han.

"If you need me in the future, Lin Hanjun, you can always come find me."

His words made Kuga Teruki, Tadokoro Megumi and others look surprised.

Given Saito Somei's firm character, what he said was equivalent to telling them: I am on your side.

Isshiki Hui's face also showed a little surprise, but he quickly returned to his usual calm state.

But this time, Isshiki Hui seemed to be thinking about something.

Lin Han smiled naturally.

"I'm not afraid of troubling you, senior. Please take care."

"correct."

Just as Saito Somei was about to reach the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Tadokoro Megumi.

"Thank you for the porridge. I believe that it won't be long before you become a truly top chef."

Faced with Saito Somei's affirmation, Tansho Kei was stunned at first, and then a feeling of being moved and happy emerged in her golden eyes.

"Thank you very much, senior. I will definitely work hard!"

Just before tears of emotion overflowed from her eyes, Tanomo Kei quickly tried to control her emotions.

She glanced at Lin Han beside her and clenched her fists secretly.

“I can’t be proud yet, even though I have improved a lot compared to before.

"But if you want to catch up with Lin Hanjun, you still have a long, long way to go!"

"Come on, Tadokoro Megumi!"

She murmured to herself in her heart.

Not long after sending Saito Somei out of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society, Isshiki Hui also said goodbye.

"Lin Hanjun, I know what you are going to do〃"

Isshiki Hui seemed to hesitate for a moment, then gave a faint smile.

"But I'm sorry, I haven't made up my mind yet, so you may have to wait for me for a while."

"Well, after saying so much, aren't you just hinting to us that you will stand on our side in the end?"

Before Lin Han could speak, Kuga Teruki waved his hand and spoke carelessly.

"Don't worry, we'll be waiting for you."

As he said this, Kuga Teruki patted Isshiki Hui's shoulder in a pretentious manner.

Isshiki Hui, who was originally a little hesitant and embarrassed, was suddenly left in a state of confusion after Kuga Teruki's commotion.

"Kuga-senpai is right. Since Isshiki-senpai is here today, I think it won't be long before he makes a real decision."

Lin Han also smiled and agreed with Kuga Teruki's words.

"Well, see you next time, Isshiki-senpai."

Lin Han said this with a hint of meaning while extending his hand to Isise Hui.

Isshiki Hui was stunned for a moment, then he also started laughing.

"See you next time."

When Isshiki Hui stepped out of the building where the Chinese Cuisine Research Society was located, he was surprised to find.

The haze that had been lingering in my heart these days had dissipated at some point.

On the other side, Kuga Teruki was still immersed in the fact that his words were echoed by Lin Han and was still feeling smug.

But Lin Han called him aside.

"Ryo Hayama?"

Kuga Teruki frowned, trying to remember if there was such a person in his memory.

"Oh, is it the kid who was praised as the strongest candidate when he was still in the middle school?"

Although he is only one grade older than the other, Kuga Teruki still calls Hayama Ryo "kid".

Lin Han saw that Kuga Teruki underestimated his enemy.

"Given Hayama-san's talent, his current strength should be on par with Kurokiba-san."

Lin Han thought about it and added a sentence.

“It should be higher.”
