Early the next morning, after everyone took care of the farm and livestock area, they went to class.
As for Yuuki, he used Food Honor to continuously break down the techniques within the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash.
A Secret Technique was composed of numerous techniques—from identifying ingredients and handling methods to various knife skills.
After breaking them down, Yuuki removed the parts that normal people couldn't learn, leaving only the parts they could learn.
And Yuuki also used Food Honor to modify these techniques. Otherwise, if these techniques were simply combined directly, they would seem disjointed.
During this process, Yuuki discovered that his Food Honor was improving even faster than during periods of high-intensity cooking.
However, this took Yuuki several days. A Secret Technique was truly worthy of its name. The Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash seemed to involve just a few knife cuts, but the amount of knowledge it required could be called an encyclopedia.
Just the aspect of understanding the internal conditions of ingredients involved a vast amount of knowledge.
This was why it took Yuuki so long to break it down and reorganize it.
Simply separating the techniques wasn't difficult for Yuuki; he had Food Honor. But the knowledge contained within them—THAT was the key.
This felt like techniques from those webnovels.
With this knowledge, one could master more than just a single Secret Technique; one might even develop unique Secret Techniques of their own.
And during this process, not only was Yuuki's Food Honor rapidly improving, but so were his Culinary skills. His cooking finally reached the Third Class Chef level as recognized by The System.
In just over a month, Yuuki had jumped directly from Intermediate Chef to Third Class Chef—and by The System's standards. If it were by international standards, Yuuki would be even stronger.
....
"Huh? It's rare to see you relaxing, kid. For the past few days, you looked like you were about to lose your mind. Megumi and the others were quite worried about you!"
Fumio Daimidō, coming out of the dorm manager's office, was surprised to see Yuuki resting in the lobby.
For the past few days, Yuuki had been completely absorbed in the disassembly, simplification, and organization of the Secret Technique—to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep, which made everyone very worried.
However, Yuuki assured them there was no need for concern—after he was done, he would give everyone another surprise.
Hearing this, although still somewhat worried, they knew they couldn't casually interfere with Yuuki's decision and could only silently observe.
"I know, but I was completely absorbed these past few days. But it was worth it. Take a look at this!"
Yuuki printed out what he had organized and summarized. Although it looked somewhat rough, if this book were leaked, it would definitely cause an uproar in the Culinary world.
"Is this your work from these past few days?"
Fumio Daimidō took it and asked as she flipped through the pages.
At first, it seemed like nothing special, but soon, Fumio Daimidō was completely engrossed.
The things Yuuki summarized were devastatingly impactful for chefs. Fumio Daimidō herself was a chef, and a fairly skilled one.
So, she knew its value. After reading some of it, Fumio Daimidō immediately shifted her attention to Yuuki.
It wasn't that the contents of the book couldn't attract her. On the contrary, she also wanted to learn the techniques inside. But this was something Yuuki made.
So, without Yuuki's permission, she naturally wouldn't casually learn the techniques within.
These techniques were like secret recipes for certain restaurants—very important for chefs.
This book contained far too many techniques in various aspects. Any one of them would be extremely useful to a chef.
"You should keep this book safe. It's hard to imagine you created such a book in just a few days."
Fumio Daimidō couldn't find the words to describe Yuuki anymore. Any single technique in this book could take a chef years or even decades to study.
Yet Yuuki created such a book in just three days. Undoubtedly, Yuuki had mastered all these techniques—otherwise, he couldn't have summarized them.
"These techniques aren't my creation. I broke them down from a Secret Technique—I compiled and simplified the parts that Megumi and the others could learn, which resulted in this book," Yuuki said with a smile.
There was no need to hide the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash Secret Technique. He would be using it in the future anyway.
"The parts they could learn? You mean there are parts they can't learn? What on earth IS this Secret Technique?!" Fumio Daimidō gasped.
She didn't know what this so-called Secret Technique was, but for it to contain so many techniques—and this was only a part of it—
She didn't think Yuuki was lying...
She could only gasp in astonishment now. Fumio Daimidō realized she truly didn't understand Yuuki.
Every time Yuuki returned after a break, he would bring things that completely surpassed her understanding.
"Wait—do you mean to say you're going to teach these things to Megumi and the others?"
Hearing this, Fumio Daimidō became even more agitated. Anyone else would definitely keep such good stuff hidden for themselves. Yuuki actually planned to teach it!
"That's right. Of course, just the learnable part of this book. And it won't be free either—" Yuuki said.
Megumi Tadokoro was his—Yuuki could teach her more. But others were different.
Yuuki only planned to use the opportunity of teaching them to improve his Food Honor. He didn't intend to teach everything in this book—just a small part. He wasn't some moneybags doling out handouts; he knew boundaries.
"As long as you understand what you're doing." Fumio Daimidō nodded.
Although she also knew the residents of Polar Star were all loyal and kind, she still didn't want Yuuki to give too much unconditionally.
The principle of "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime" applied here.
It was indeed a good thing Yuuki could grasp this balance himself.
Everyone's Culinary skills could improve rapidly, strengthening Polar Star's prowess, and Yuuki wouldn't be at a disadvantage—that was enough.
....
After Fumio Daimidō left, Yuuki waited there for everyone else to return. It was almost time for classes to end.
Actually, while Yuuki was dissecting the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash, something else had happened.
It was the incident from the original story where Soma Yukihira and Ikumi Mito clashed.
Although the plot point still occurred this time, Ikumi Mito didn't directly confront Soma Yukihira but chose to temporarily leave the Don RS alone.
