Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　"Teacher Bai Yuan, you haven't said who the winner of this match is yet."

　Seeing that Bai Yuan had finally come to his senses, Erina Nakiri asked with a somewhat unfocused look in her eyes.

　"Don't you already have the answer?"

　Looking at her appearance, Bai Yuan was speechless.

　How could a girl with the God Tongue not be able to tell the difference between good and bad food? She simply wanted him to confirm it so she could give up completely.

　"As expected, damn it!"

　Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Erina Nakiri pouted and showed a helpless expression. It seemed that there was still a big gap between her and Alice Nakiri.

　Sure enough, it's impossible to surpass her using this kind of special training that everyone has.

　I need to interact with Teacher Bai Yuan more later to see if I can receive special training, preferably the kind that she has but Alice doesn't!

　Baiyuan's secret training!

　"Although I lost again this time, the gap between us isn't that big anymore. If this continues, it won't be long before I catch up with you!"

　Having accepted her defeat, Erina Nakiri turned her gaze to Alice Nakiri beside her. Even though she had won the match, Alice didn't seem particularly happy.

　Damn it, do they really not respect her at all?!

　Before saying such things,

　Remember to call me Alice-neechan first. You haven't forgotten our bet, have you, Erina-neechan?

　Seeing Erina Nakiri's high spirits, Alice Nakiri couldn't help but tease her. She had just been scolded by Shiro Awakening and didn't want to see her so smug!

　"I understand, Sister Alice."

　Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's words, Erina Nakiri blushed slightly and replied.

　When she spoke, she dared not meet his gaze, but her voice was much more natural than before. Clearly, being manipulated during this period had made her accustomed to it.

　But she would never admit that!

　"Hey! Erina-neechan."

　Hearing your voice makes me feel much better. From now on, I'll call you that way. I never got this treatment when I was a kid, but now I am.

　Alice Nakiri responded cheerfully, a smile returning to her face, looking like she was in a good mood.

　"Alright, the match is over. The final winner is Alice Nakiri."

　It's getting late, everyone should go home and rest. Tomorrow morning, find your own opponents to challenge. Alice, come with me.

　Bai Yuan stood up and addressed the students around him, then looked at Nakiri Alice beside him. She also looked up and met his gaze.

　"Ah."

　Their eyes met briefly before looking away. Alice Nakiri nodded slightly and followed Bai Yuan out of the kitchen.

　Erina Nakiri watched all this with slightly complicated feelings.

　Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she followed her out and went down to the fifth floor, where Hisako Shinto was having a food battle.

　"The final score is 3-0, and the winner is Hisako Shinto, who served the black-boned chicken and turtle soup. What a wonderful food battle!"

　The referee's voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present, including Erina Nakiri who entered through the door, which brought a smile to her face.

　"Hisako, well done."

　"Lady Erina, you've arrived!"

　Upon hearing the familiar voice, Hisako Shinto, dressed in a white chef's uniform and looking at her opponent with a stern face, smiled and then jogged over to her side.

　"Go lie down on the bed over there."

　After entering the house, Bai Yuan closed and locked the door, then urged Nakiri Alice to hurry up.

　"I understand, Master. I will do as you say."

　Hearing Bai Yuan's extremely blunt words, Alice Nakiri's face visibly flushed red, and then she pursed her lips and spoke.

　"I only told you to lie face down on the bed, I didn't tell you to take your pants off... And what's with that tone of yours? I'd have thought I was doing something else..."

　Seeing Alice Nakiri's actions, Bai Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, while also criticizing what she had just said.

　He only wanted to give her a small punishment, but her words made him sound like a pervert.

　"I think this way I'll remember it better, and hitting through something doesn't feel as good. I'm ready, let's get started, Brother Bai Yuan."

　Reaching out to confirm that the door was locked again, Alice Nakiri blushed, then walked to the bedside and lay down on it.

　"Forget it, let's just leave it at that."

　As Bai Yuan spoke, he raised his hand high.

　To deal with a disobedient apprentice, you have to use some methods to teach her a lesson.

　Remember this sense of shame!

　Never make this mistake again!

　Chapter 124 You'll all become trainees for the world of dark cuisine!

　After the punishment, Alice Nakiri lingered in Shirobuchi's room, lying on the bed and clinging to his arm for comfort.

　"Brother Bai Yuan, it hurts."

　The punishment is over, this matter is now closed, and it's time for Brother Bai Yuan to put in a good word for us.

　Alice Nakiri pressed her face against Bai Yuan's arm, feigning weakness and acting coquettishly, which was also her thought after being hit earlier.

　The punishment has already been administered, and Bai Yuan's anger has mostly subsided. If he tries to get close to the other party now, he should be able to gain their sympathy. Besides, the other party just...

　Thinking of the final punishment, Bai Yuan's hands became somewhat restless, while Nakiri Alice's face flushed, and her eyes became more moist as she looked at him.

　After spending so much time together, there was at least one thing she was certain of: Bai Yuan definitely had feelings for her, and he was definitely not a monk!

　However, there are still some concerns in my mind, which is why I have been hesitant to take the final step.

　What she needs to do now is to test Bai Yuan in various ways, constantly lowering his bottom line and making him retreat further and further.

　Once she's retired to a certain level, she can start enjoying a happy life!

　"Then you can just stick it on."

　Seeing this, Bai Yuan naturally couldn't refuse, so he let her stick close to him and turned off the room lights, clearly resigned to his fate.

　There will always be rebellious disciples who want to challenge their master.

　What could he do? His apprentice, whom he had raised from childhood, was so cute, sweet, and soft; he couldn't resist and could only accept it.

　"Brother Bai Yuan, I feel a little tightness in my chest. Could you take a look and see what's wrong?"

　In the darkness, Alice Nakiri suddenly shook Bai Yuan's arm, her face flushed as she spoke.

　Clearly, Bai Yuan's blows hadn't really hurt her; instead, they had excited her.

　"Is that chest tightness? I'm almost embarrassed to point it out to you!"

　Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's words, Bai Yuan couldn't help but retort.

　"I just feel tightness in my chest!"

　Hearing Bai Yuan vomit

　"Damn," Alice Nakiri blushed, but still stubbornly said, grabbing his hand as she spoke.

　"Brother Bai Yuan, come and help me figure out what's wrong!"

　"2:1, the winner is Tadokoro Megumi."

　"3:0, the winner is Yoshino Yuuki."

　"1:2, the winner is Mitsui San."

　"1:1, 1 abstention. Ueno Sugi and Sawano Naruto are tied in this round, and their rankings remain unchanged."

　"0:3, the winner is..."

　Over four days, thousands of battle messages were displayed. At the central display, searching for any name would yield more than ten battle messages.

　After such a large number of food battles, the number of students, which was originally around a thousand, has now dwindled to less than two hundred.

　The rest were expelled for failing the challenge.

　In a small kitchen on the hotel rooftop, Bai Yuan stood in front of the group with a ruler, commenting on their techniques.

　He wouldn't comment on the cooking process, but rather point out their mistakes when they brought the food to him to taste after it was finished. Then, based on the number of mistakes they made, he would use a ruler to hit them.

　Because it was a private, special training session, and Bai Yuan had explained the situation in advance before they came.

　All the girls present understood the consequences of making a mistake in cooking and what kind of punishment they would receive.

　Therefore, none of them objected to Bai Yuan's reprimand. Even Erina Nakiri blushed and remained silent.

　This emboldened Bai Yuan to become even bolder, and the ruler was often used to strike places that would make people feel ashamed.

　With each strike, the girl would emit a sound that was difficult to decipher.

　This also brought Bai Yuan happiness.

　This is what it means to seek pleasure and have fun.

　The girls who received this guidance all had some degree of affection for him, so they were not averse to his actions.

　Because Bai Yuan's force wasn't heavy, strictly speaking, it wasn't even a punishment; it was just a strong sense of shame that made them unwilling to be punished in front of others.

　Of course, even without this step, they still kept Bai Yuan's words firmly in mind.

　After all, he is a top-tier seven-star chef, and his teachings are priceless!

　Moreover, they learned from Bai Yuan that after this midterm exam, he would no longer teach group classes, but would only give them, a small group of students, extra tutoring.

　Once they have truly grown up and passed his tests, he will take them with him and leave Totsuki.

　As for where they were going in the end, they didn't know. Alice asked Bai Yuan curiously, but he only gave her two words: "Keep it a secret."

　Of course, going or not going is entirely voluntary.

　but...

　Such a rare opportunity, even if they were to exchange it for the first seat of the Ten Outstanding Individuals, they might not be willing.

　Even if they were just unknown servants by Bai Yuan's side, it would still be an opportunity to defy fate!

　"Teacher Bai Yuan, I have a match in half an hour, so I need to go in and prepare now. I'll be back in two hours."

　After cleaning the countertop in front of her, Mito Ikumi jogged over to Shiroyuki.

　"Go! Today is the last day. It's a fight to the death. Everyone must give it their all. Don't let carelessness lead to defeat."

　Sitting upright in the armchair, with Lia fanning him beside him, Bai Yuan looked at Mito Ikumi in front of him, his voice carrying a hint of warning.

　"Don't worry! I won't be careless. The last loss was a great warning to me, and I can't afford to lose again this time!"

　Anger burned in Mito Ikumi's eyes. She wondered which clueless bastard had disturbed her and caused her to lose such precious time of guidance!

　"I've also received a notification that there's a match in an hour. Once I finish this dish, it'll be time for me to go down and compete."

　After glancing at the message on her phone, Sakaki Ryo couldn't help but sigh. If she could, she wouldn't want to accept the challenge.

　Rather than fighting those guys, she would rather stay here and receive guidance from Bai Yuan.

　Although the punishment was somewhat shameful, I could accept it after a few times. It was a mix of pain and pleasure, and most importantly, I felt very fulfilled!

　"Me too. Luckily, there's only one match today. Unlike the past few days, there were at least three matches a day. Fortunately, I can rest for four hours after each match."

　"I'm relatively relaxed; no one dared to challenge me."

　Alice Nakiri shrugged and said casually.

　Since her duel with Erina Nakiri, apart from Ryo Kurokiba who challenged her once and was easily defeated, no one has dared to challenge her again.

　“I’ve already fought those people before me, and no one is challenging me now. Otherwise, I would not only waste the opportunity if I lost, but also lose face in front of everyone.”
