Totsuki graduates, especially graduates of the Elite Ten Council, would indeed be recruited directly by renowned restaurants around the world once they graduated from Totsuki.
Whether it was wealth, status, or prestige, these things were practically within easy reach for Elite Ten Council graduates.
Yet none of those things held much appeal for Seiya.
If not for the message in his mother's letter, Seiya would have wanted to simply give up and loaf around. Even though the restaurant's business was booming now, Minezaki was actually the one managing it all.
His daily workload had a clear limit. Once it went over that limit, he would immediately slack off on the spot. Even though he was working for himself, this guy had absolutely no intention of making things difficult for himself.
Anyway, as he always said, the minimum standard his mother had set for him was simply to keep the restaurant from going under. Beyond that, everything else was unimportant.
The only one who had always wanted to make the restaurant bigger and stronger was Minezaki, who wholeheartedly wanted to earn Kiyoei Wenren's approval.
Seiya had only accepted Minezaki's management and reforms on the condition that he could earn more money for the same amount of work.
"You're not interested in fame, status, or wealth? Then as a chef, aren't you interested in things like Dream Ingredients either?"
Hearing Seiya's reason for refusing, Senzoemon Nakiri understood what sort of person Seiya was. He immediately threw out another lure.
"Dream Ingredients?"
Seiya knew about supernatural senses such as the God's Tongue and God's Nose in Food Wars!, as well as the Legendary Cookware capable of turning the rotten into the miraculous in Chūka Ichiban!.
But he had never heard of anything called "Dream Ingredients" in either Food Wars! or Chūka Ichiban!.
