The bathroom situation was something Yuuki had been planning since he entered Polar Star. Although it seemed like all he needed to do was wait for Soma Yukihira to join and then give him a heads-up—
—Yuuki felt it wasn't foolproof. So, he discussed it with everyone, and they eventually added another bathroom.
This fundamentally prevented the incident where Megumi Tadokoro was put in a compromising position in the original story. Of course, just in case, Yuuki also planned to keep an eye on things when Soma Yukihira joined Polar Star.
....
The night passed uneventfully. Early the next morning, everyone got up, prepared themselves, and headed towards the opening ceremony venue.
Before leaving, Yuuki did some fishing. What he caught this time made his eyes light up.
The ingredient he caught was called "Barbecue Pig."
And the sheer quantity was astonishing—an entire hind leg!
This was the best ingredient Yuuki had obtained so far. Barbecue Pig already had a Capture Level, although it was only Capture Level 1.
But in the world of Toriko, even a Capture Level 1 beast required ten fully armed Gourmet Hunters to capture.
Gourmet Hunters in the world of Toriko were completely different from those in the normal world. They were individuals who would bring RPGs to a fight, no questions asked.
That world's technology was also far more advanced than Food Wars'. Naturally, the power of their weapons was also greater.
Even so, a Capture Level 1 ingredient still required ten fully armed Gourmet Hunters. This showed how difficult it was to obtain such ingredients.
However, thinking about the Barbecue Pig's data, it wasn't that surprising.
A Barbecue Pig had a body length of 4 meters, a height of 3 meters, and weighed 1.5 tons. With that size, once it charged, its power was undeniably immense.
What Yuuki obtained this time was a hind leg. Just the hind leg alone weighed over a hundred kilograms. It had to be said, this was a very good haul.
With such a good catch, Yuuki was in a great mood. He still needed to attend the opening ceremony.
Although he had special privileges, those privileges were limited to not attending classes. He still had to participate in special assessments and events.
For example, the opening ceremony and events like the Training Camp. After attending the opening ceremony, Yuuki could just go back and relax.
....
"I'm so jealous of Yuuki. He has the same privileges as Isshiki-senpai and the others! Doesn't even need to go to class!"
Yoshino Yuki was extremely envious when she learned Yuuki didn't need to attend class. Just thinking about how she and the others had to attend classes and take assessments made her feel down.
Although such entrance assessments weren't a problem for her, having the free time to do what she wanted was obviously the best.
"Those privileges require sufficiently strong Culinary skills. If you awaken some overpowered ability, become a Senior Chef, and have a connection like Mr. Dojima—then you could have it too!" Ryōko Sakaki said, somewhat amused.
She also envied Yuuki's privileges, but she also knew that with her own abilities, it would be impossible for her to get such privileges.
"I was just daydreaming. Ryōko, do you have to be so harsh?"
Yoshino Yuki pouted at her friend. To be so blunt while she was fantasizing—that was a true best friend, alright.
....
As everyone chatted, they found a spot to stand. Soon, the opening ceremony began.
After a series of events—award presentations, summaries, and such—it quickly came to a very special segment: the transfer student representative's speech.
However, this year's transfer students were different from previous years—there was only one. So, he naturally became the representative.
"I remember this year's transfer student exam judge was Erina Nakiri. Someone actually survived her judgment? Looks like this transfer student is really something!" Zenji Marui said in surprise.
Although there were many transfer students who wanted to enter Tōtsuki every year, the ones who actually got in were the cream of the crop.
But this year was special because the judge was Erina Nakiri. Her God's Tongue was incredibly famous—her saying something was "Delicious" carried a lot of weight.
Conversely, if she said something was "Not delicious," it meant it really was NOT DELICIOUS.
Anyone who knew this would probably avoid that restaurant.
So, Erina Nakiri's words could often determine a Chef's future.
Precisely because of this, unless absolutely necessary, no one would want Erina Nakiri to taste their cooking. After all, getting a "Delicious" evaluation from this Young lady was very difficult.
Everyone had initially thought that with Erina Nakiri as the judge, the transfer students would be completely wiped out. But they hadn't expected one to get through in the end.
"To get a positive evaluation from the God's Tongue is really impressive."
Everyone nodded in agreement. But after Soma Yukihira took the stage and began his speech, the students below erupted into chaos.
Soma Yukihira basically started by throwing shade at everyone, saying that Tōtsuki students were all flowers grown in a greenhouse, and such.
As soon as these words came out, all the students were in an uproar. Actually, Soma Yukihira's words were full of stereotypes.
In Soma Yukihira's view, so-called Culinary schools were just about teachers lecturing above and students obediently learning below.
No practical experience at all. Many Culinary schools were indeed like this, but Tōtsuki was the complete opposite.
Tōtsuki had always emphasized practical experience. And another thing—most Tōtsuki students came from wealthy or influential families.
These families were either established Culinary families or ran numerous chain restaurants, high-class restaurants, and the like.
These students might be somewhat arrogant, but most were actually quite skilled and often worked in their family restaurants to gain experience.
So, Soma Yukihira's indiscriminate attack offended everyone.
It could be said his first impression on everyone was extremely poor.
"This guy is way too cocky! How is he going to survive in this school? Don't forget—these Tōtsuki students aren't pushovers!" The Polar Star residents were also quite shocked. Soma Yukihira was seriously gutsy.
At Tōtsuki, underhanded tactics were common.
"Maybe he's just confident in his Culinary skills. It has to be said, his cooking is quite good. Among our year, he'd be among the top," Yuuki said.
Before, to witness the beginning of the plot, he had been constantly hanging around Yukihira Restaurant and had naturally eaten Jōichirō's and Soma Yukihira's cooking many times. However, their relationship was just acquaintance level; they weren't very familiar.
