"That's right. You three have essentially experienced those two assessments in advance. Of course, you'll still need to go through them later, but for you, such assessments will just be a formality."
Gin Dojima smiled.
Regarding their Culinary skills—Yuuki was in a league of his own—no one in the current Elite Ten was his match. Even if he were placed in their Golden Age, Dojima and Jōichirō Yukihira from that era wouldn't dare say they could beat Yuuki.
So, Yuuki was already invincible at Tōtsuki...
Dojima couldn't even imagine what Yuuki would be like after graduating from three years at Tōtsuki. In three years—he suspected Yuuki might even become a First Class or even a Special Class Chef.
As for the other two, while they couldn't compare to Yuuki, both Alice Nakiri and Ryō Kurokiba were already very close to the Senior Chef level—as long as they weren't compared to a monster like Yuuki, they were Geniuses among geniuses.
"By the way, Uncle Dojima, could you do me a favor and arrange a special privilege for me?"
At this moment, Yuuki suddenly spoke up.
Hearing this, the attention of the other three was drawn to him.
"A privilege? What kind of privilege do you want?" Gin Dojima asked, somewhat curious.
"The privilege of not attending classes at Tōtsuki. Uncle Dojima, you know my situation. Instead of going to classes, I'd rather train on my own."
Yuuki explained.
It wasn't that Tōtsuki's teachers could no longer teach him—in fact, many of Tōtsuki's teachers were very skilled, and he could learn a lot from them.
But these things definitely couldn't be learned in a classroom.
After all, in class, teachers needed to consider the entire class's situation and couldn't just set Yuuki as the standard. Keep in mind, most of the current first-year high school students at Tōtsuki were still Junior Chefs.
Only a few had reached the Intermediate Chef level.
Yuuki, according to current international standards, was already a Third Class Chef.
The gap was too large.
After all, Third Class Chef was a level that many Elite Ten graduates only reached several years after graduation.
Yuuki had already reached this level just as he was entering high school, so attending classes would just be a waste of time for him.
"Indeed. Given your situation, it's better for you to seek private instruction from these professors than to attend classes. I'll take care of this for you!"
Gin Dojima stated that this was a small matter. Although only the Elite Ten had the privilege of not attending classes at Tōtsuki, he just needed to contact his Director.
It was only adding a small privilege—it wouldn't affect anything. After all, Tōtsuki belonged to the Nakiri family.
As for whether other Elite Ten members would be dissatisfied, that was no problem at all for Gin Dojima. While the Elite Ten held great power at Tōtsuki and were part of the management, in his eyes, it was just kids playing house.
So, there was no need to consider what the Elite Ten might think.
If they were really dissatisfied, let them go find Yuuki themselves...
Facing Yuuki, these Elite Ten members would just be chopped liver, unable to stir up any trouble.
"Mr. Dojima, then can we also..."
Hearing this, Alice Nakiri couldn't sit still either, but as soon as she spoke, Gin Dojima directly rejected her.
"Yuuki can have this privilege because his Culinary skills are already off the charts. Right now, never mind students in your year, even the third-year Elite Ten members are no match for Yuuki."
"As for you two, you haven't even reached the Senior Chef level yet. Such Culinary skills don't meet the standard for enjoying privileges."
Gin Dojima shook his head.
To enjoy privileges, one needed to demonstrate sufficient ability—Otherwise, even if Alice Nakiri was the Young lady of the Nakiri family, she wouldn't receive too much preferential treatment at Tōtsuki.
After all, the current Director of Tōtsuki was Senzaemon Nakiri, Alice's grandfather. If he didn't give the green light, Alice naturally couldn't enjoy such privileges.
"Is that so? Then forget it. I'll earn any privileges myself."
Although Alice Nakiri was somewhat disappointed, she wasn't dissatisfied. As Gin Dojima said, her Culinary skills hadn't yet reached the standard for enjoying privileges.
....
After dinner, everyone went back to pack their things and rest. Yuuki also took stock of his gains during this period.
These gains were all from fishing, but not many were useful.
Among the useful items caught with Small Bait, besides the earlier Seven-Star Knives and White-Haired Cinderella Beef—there was also a Constant-Temperature Salmon and a few Almond Cabbages.
As for the rest, they were either ordinary kitchen utensils or ingredients, or just some junk. Yuuki had long since discarded these things from the Fishing Space.
Besides Small Bait, Yuuki had also obtained one Large Bait.
Large Bait could only be obtained once a month.
Previously, using a Large Bait, Yuuki had fished out the Inferno special ability. So, when he received the Large Bait this time, Yuuki was very excited and expectant.
As it turned out, the Large Bait didn't disappoint him. A few days ago, Yuuki used the Large Bait to fish out a Secret Technique.
This secret technique originated from the world of Cooking Master Boy—called the "Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash"—the very same Dark secret technique Leon used when he returned to the Spring Restaurant.
Don't underestimate this just because it's a secret technique and seems applicable only to large animals—the things contained within this secret technique were quite useful.
This secret technique contained a wealth of knife skills.
After all, to dissect a Bull so precisely couldn't be accomplished with just one cut.
The Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash secret technique had considerably high requirements for physical fitness and power exertion techniques.
Strictly speaking, Yuuki's physical fitness was insufficient to perform this move.
But Yuuki had Food Honor. Although his physical fitness was a bit lacking, Food Honor could erase this gap.
Yuuki could use Food Honor to reduce the stamina consumption of using the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash, and even use Food Honor to optimize it.
Besides the requirements for physical fitness and power exertion techniques, there were two other crucial aspects to mastering the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash.
The first was understanding the ingredients. For Leon to easily dissect a bull, he had to have a thorough understanding of that bull, which required extensive practical experience.
Secondly, there was knife Skill.
Even with sufficiently strong physical fitness and a thorough understanding of the ingredients, knife technique was still an issue.
Never mind different ingredients, even among bulls, to dissect different bulls to the point of not shedding a single drop of blood, the position and force of the cuts needed to be adjusted.
Therefore, the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash secret technique contained numerous knife techniques. Only by mastering these knife techniques could one master this secret technique...
It could only be said that it was worthy of being called a secret technique.
It might look like it was done in an instant, but it required a vast amount of time to learn, and also sufficient talent.
This was why only a very few people in the world of Cooking Master Boy could master secret techniques.
