For Yuuki, the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash secret technique could be used not only to dissect bulls but also other ingredients. How it was used depended on the person; it wasn't that this move could only be used to cut bulls.
It could be said that the benefits brought by this secret technique were immense for Yuuki. He could even break down this secret technique and use it to teach Megumi Tadokoro.
....
Meanwhile, the members of the Polar Star Dormitory had also returned.
"Megumi! Long time no see! Speaking of which, didn't Yuuki come back with you?"
Yoshino Yuki, upon returning to Polar Star, was very happy to see her friends whom she hadn't seen all vacation. But seeing Megumi Tadokoro without Yuuki was somewhat surprising.
After all, for the past few years, Yuuki and Megumi had almost always returned together.
The two were also a publicly acknowledged couple among the Polar Star residents. This time, them not returning together was indeed quite unexpected.
"True. Yuuki and Megumi have always been inseparable. It's strange they didn't come back together this time."
The others were also quite surprised.
"Yuuki has been interning at the Totsuki Resort during this period, so he wasn't with me."
Megumi Tadokoro said with a smile.
Although she and Yuuki hadn't seen each other for a while, they basically talked on the phone every day, so she knew what Yuuki's situation was.
She knew very well that Yuuki had gone to the Totsuki Resort to study after awakening his special ability.
"So he went to the Totsuki Resort... WAIT, MEGUMI, WHERE DID YOU SAY HE WENT?"
Suddenly, Yoshino Yuki froze on the spot, looking at Megumi Tadokoro with disbelief. It wasn't just her; everyone else also looked astonished.
"It's the Totsuki Resort where we'll be going for our Training Camp later."
Seeing everyone's expressions, Megumi Tadokoro nodded, confirming she hadn't misspoken. She wasn't surprised by their shocked looks because she herself had been very surprised when she first found out.
After all, not just anyone could get into the Totsuki Resort. Although everyone knew Yuuki had some connection with Gin Dojima, even with such a connection, pulling strings to get in shouldn't be that easy, right?
"H-How...?! That's the Totsuki Resort! Is Yuuki Mr. Dojima's illegitimate son or something? That's the only way it makes sense!"
Yoshino Yuki's imagination began to run wild. And the crucial thing was, after she said it, everyone else even found it somewhat reasonable.
The Totsuki Resort was a Super High-class resort; its standards were clear. It was impossible for them to just let someone in through connections. That would only tarnish the resort's reputation.
Unless the connection was extremely strong—like Alice Nakiri's, who was the young lady of the Nakiri family. The Totsuki Resort, to put it bluntly, was also one of the Nakiri family's enterprises.
"You guys, stop imagining things. Yuuki is not Mr. Dojima's illegitimate son...
Yuuki awakened a special ability, a very powerful one, which is why he was able to intern at the Totsuki Resort."
Megumi Tadokoro refuted everyone's claims and then told them that Yuuki had awakened a special ability.
"Awakened a special ability?!"
This time, the one who exclaimed was no longer Yoshino Yuki, but Fumio Daimido on the side. Everyone present understood what a special ability was, but in terms of understanding them, Fumio Daimido definitely knew more than the others.
"That's right. Yuuki told me the special ability he awakened is called Inferno."
Megumi Tadokoro told everyone the name of the special ability Yuuki had awakened.
"Inferno... Why does that name sound familiar? I feel like I've seen it somewhere."
Ryōko Sakaki frowned; the name sounded familiar to her.
"I see! That incredibly famous Inferno Chef from the Totsuki Resort recently—that's Yuuki! I thought it was just someone with the same name!"
At this moment, Satoshi Isshiki finally remembered. Recently, the Inferno Chef at the Totsuki Resort had been causing quite a stir.
"I remember now too! So that Inferno Chef they were talking about was Yuuki!"
Hearing Satoshi Isshiki's words, the others also reacted. It wasn't that they were slow-witted; it was just that they had never connected Yuuki with that person.
After all, how old was Yuuki? They were all just first-year high school students.
It was like you're attending classes normally, and then one day you suddenly see news that a very famous person at some well-known company has made an astonishing achievement.
There's someone in your class with the same name, but would you really equate the person in your class with that famous individual? Yet, that was exactly Yuuki's situation now.
So, after realizing this, everyone found it incredibly unbelievable.
"So, that means Yuuki's culinary skills..."
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. Yuuki's culinary skills must have skyrocketed; otherwise, he couldn't have achieved such a feat.
"Yuuki already told me. Not long after awakening his special ability, he reached the Senior Chef level. And he's also been recognized by the WGO; his certificate has already been updated!"
Just as everyone was guessing, Megumi Tadokoro added.
"Senior Chef? That's WONDERFUL!"
Fumio Daimido's eyes also lit up. She was naturally the happiest to hear this news. After all, she was wholeheartedly trying to restore the Polar Star Dormitory to its golden age glory.
But after so many years, she hadn't succeeded. This time, she was actually the most optimistic. Although Polar Star still only had one Elite Ten member in Satoshi Isshiki—
—The others were, after all, a year younger than Satoshi. Their potential was not weak. When they all matured, perhaps they could truly recreate the glory of the Golden Age.
Now, hearing that Yuuki had also become a Senior Chef—wasn't he a prime candidate for the Elite Ten? How could she not be happy?
"Senior Chef, huh? So Yuuki already has Culinary skills at the Elite Ten level. It's a pity Yuuki didn't awaken his special ability sooner."
Zenji Marui's words received everyone's agreement.
That's right—if he had awakened his special ability earlier, Yuuki could have participated in the battle for the Elite Ten seats.
At that time, there were several vacant Elite Ten seats—Yuuki could definitely have secured one.
But now, the Elite Ten seats were all occupied. As long as the current holders weren't idiots, they wouldn't give up their positions.
So, even if Yuuki was stronger than them, it was useless.
To obtain an Elite Ten seat, either someone had to go crazy and put their seat up for a Shokugeki, or they would have to wait until the current third-years graduated.
"Megumi, when is Yuuki coming back?"
Yoshino Yuki couldn't help but ask. She was somewhat impatient to see just how strong Yuuki's culinary skills were now.
