French cuisine placed greater emphasis on presentation and color, and as fellow Totsuki graduates, Gin Dojima and the others had long been familiar with Shinomiya Kojiro's cooking.
So during the Shokugeki between the two, Gin Dojima and the others focused more of their attention on Seiya.
The Giant Cabbage from the Vegetable Paradise of the Gourmet World could grow as large as a small building, though the Giant Cabbage at Totsuki Resort was only about two meters tall.
Even so, compared to an ordinary cabbage, it was still a true behemoth.
Aside from its delicious flavor, this rare Giant Cabbage had another trait—it was exceptionally difficult to handle.
If its leaves were pulled apart one at a time, the entire Giant Cabbage would immediately wither and rot.
Only by pulling apart two leaves at the same time each time could the Giant Cabbage be properly opened up. The timing between each pull had to be perfectly controlled, or the remaining cabbage would be ruined.
That was also why the cabbage heart was the most valuable and most delicious part of the Giant Cabbage.
Handling this Giant Cabbage might not have been as tedious as handling a Puffer Whale, but it was still a meticulous and time-consuming task.
Yet Seiya's method of handling the Giant Cabbage left Gin Dojima and the others utterly stunned.
They saw Seiya grasp a kitchen knife and leap high into the air, vaulting over the Giant Cabbage that stood more than two meters tall. Then, streaks of blade light burst through the air in an instant.
In the next second, rays of light enveloped the surface of the Giant Cabbage, and before everyone's dumbfounded eyes, it bloomed like a lotus.
"Fierce Bull Azure Dragon Cut—!"
A secret knife technique passed down within the Dark Cooking World.
