"I've eaten quite a few ingredients while I was abroad, and those so-called high-class ingredients are NOTHING compared to this pork."
Compared to the others, Alice Nakiri had undoubtedly eaten more high-quality food, so she knew just how ridiculously delicious this meat was.
After hearing Alice Nakiri's words, everyone ate even faster. Soon, most of the Barbecue Pig was gone. It wasn't that they didn't want to eat more, but they found they were actually full.
"I've barely eaten anything; why do I feel so stuffed?" Megumi Tadokoro asked, puzzled.
Her appetite wasn't exactly small, but the amount of meat she had eaten definitely shouldn't have filled her up. Yet, the extreme feeling of fullness wasn't an illusion.
No matter how delicious the Barbecue Pig was, she couldn't eat another bite.
"ME TOO! I didn't eat that much, but now I feel like I couldn't eat another thing." Yoshino Yuki and the others quickly agreed.
Yuuki wasn't surprised by this—
After all, this was an ingredient from the world of Toriko. The Calories it contained were incredibly high.
Yuuki had obtained similar ingredients a few times before, and those were ingredients without Capture Levels. Even those no-level ingredients would fill you up quickly.
This Barbecue Pig, however, did have a Capture Level.
While people in the world of Toriko could casually eat such ingredients without any issues, this was the world of Food Wars—there was simply no comparison.
Among those present, only Yuuki could eat a large amount of this meat.
While Yuuki didn't have Gourmet Cells, his physique was inherently strong. More importantly, Yuuki also had the Inferno special ability.
Releasing high-temperature steam wasn't done out of thin air—it also consumed Calories within his body. So, he could actively release high-temperature steam to accelerate his Calorie consumption, allowing him to naturally eat more than others.
Of course, even doing this still couldn't compare to those with Gourmet Cells. Even if someone only had Gourmet Cells without having awakened a special ability, Yuuki's appetite still wouldn't compare to theirs.
Komatsu was the best example.
Komatsu's Gourmet Cells weren't innate—he obtained them by constantly eating various gourmet foods. Even before his Gourmet Cells awakened, Komatsu's appetite was already astonishing.
"This stuff is incredibly calorie-dense. Think of it as a cross between energy bars and super-rich chocolate."
As Yuuki explained, he finished off the rest of the meat.
This scene made everyone envious, but envy was useless—they were just normal people who couldn't rapidly consume the Calories in their bodies.
After Yuuki finished eating, everyone started playing games to pass the time and let their feeling of fullness subside a bit. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to sleep tonight.
Although others had also prepared a lot of delicious food, Yuuki's Barbecue Pig had completely filled them up—they simply couldn't eat anything else.
....
As everyone chatted, they learned that Yuuki had eaten many times at the Yukihira Restaurant. While they weren't close, they at least knew each other.
They also talked about Jōichirō Yukihira, which naturally left Soma Yukihira dumbfounded.
"Wait... Are you talking about my dad?! Was he REALLY that amazing?!"
Soma Yukihira had no idea how incredible his father actually was. So, after hearing everyone's stories, he was completely floored. He had never imagined his old man was actually a BOSS-level figure, one of the top chefs in the world.
"Why are you so surprised? We're the ones who should be surprised! You didn't even know how awesome your own father was?!"
Everyone was left speechless.
This Soma Yukihira really didn't know anything. They also admired Jōichirō quite a bit—to think he never mentioned his past to his own son!
As one of the very few Special Class Chefs in the whole culinary world, Jōichirō Yukihira actually opened a small diner and ran it with his son.
According to Soma Yukihira, he had been helping out at the diner since he was little. Everyone could guess that Jōichirō Yukihira was training Soma Yukihira, but how exactly, they couldn't figure out.
Only Yuuki, having read the original story, knew what was going on. Soma Yukihira's talent was inherently very strong.
Jōichirō Yukihira had discovered this very early on. He didn't send Soma Yukihira to Tōtsuki right away but had Soma work at the small diner.
This honed Soma Yukihira's "Diner wisdom." It had to be said, this method was quite impressive, and more importantly, Jōichirō Yukihira dared to do it.
It could only be said that it was no coincidence Jōichirō Yukihira used to be called "The Demon." He was ruthless enough to experiment on his own son like this.
....
After chatting for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Unlike Yuuki, they still had classes tomorrow.
As for Yuuki, he also had things to do. What he needed to do was quite simple: analyze and break down the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash Secret Technique.
Breaking down this Secret Technique had many benefits. For one, it allowed him to reorganize the extracted techniques, thereby reducing the difficulty of learning them.
For Yuuki, understanding the essence of the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash was beneficial for improving his own knife skills. Correspondingly, he could also teach the simplified version of the Secret Technique to Megumi Tadokoro.
After all, Megumi was already his. In the past, Megumi's talent was stronger than his, and her Culinary skills were better too, so he didn't need to interfere too much.
But now that he had become stronger, he naturally also hoped Megumi could become stronger.
Moreover, teaching Megumi was also beneficial for improving his Food Honor. Yuuki's Food Honor didn't require special ingredients or special equipment to enhance.
Every action he took would enhance his Food Honor, although the rate of improvement varied. Usually, when he walked, using Food Honor to conserve stamina would naturally also train his Food Honor.
But normal life couldn't compare to high-intensity cooking. During his time at the Tōtsuki Resort, Yuuki had also been constantly developing his Food Honor.
He discovered that, in addition to high-intensity cooking, when teaching others techniques—because he himself was also continuously practicing these techniques, deepening his understanding of this knowledge—his Food Honor improved very rapidly.
The reason Alice Nakiri and Ryō Kurokiba had become stronger than their counterparts in the original story wasn't just because of their training at the Tōtsuki Resort, but mainly because of Yuuki.
So, now, Yuuki wanted to break down the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash. He still needed to continue exploring Food Honor, so he could quickly improve it.
Yuuki's version of Food Honor was the most suitable for him, but it wasn't instantly at the Mastery Level. He had only just scratched the surface. To improve, he needed to develop it himself.
Even if he didn't actively research it, his Food Honor would still improve, but at a slower pace.
