Bad Review!

Having both elderly people and children as judges has caused her considerable trouble, putting her at a significant disadvantage from the very beginning of the competition.

The Secretaryko had no choice but to bite the bullet and begin the procedure. She took out the turtle she had prepared beforehand, and with a swift and decisive stroke, chopped off its head.

All the turtle's blood has been drained. The turtle blood that was originally intended to be used is probably no longer suitable for children.

"Oh, it's a giant soft-shelled turtle! Jack loves to eat it!"

Jack couldn't wait to express her preferences, showing no regard for being a judge; she simply followed her heart.

Gretel immediately retorted, "It's very fishy and doesn't taste good. I think roasted meat is better."

"Can you guys be serious? We're judges now, not here to eat," Little Jeanne Arc said sternly.

Of all the children, she was the only one sitting upright, looking mature beyond her years, but this feigned maturity only made her look even cuter.

Yuxian looked at the children who were about to start arguing even before the review had begun, and he was very worried. He was really afraid that they would mess things up.

That's really embarrassing.

Secretaryko and Ryo Hayama finally finished cooking, and they took the finished hamburgers to the judges' table.

The children had no concept of politeness; they picked up the food and stuffed it into their mouths. The cooking process had made them so hungry.

"Delicious! Soft and crispy!" Jack took a bite of his Secretaryko's turtle burger, mumbling as he ate the whole thing in no time.

After finishing her meal, she blinked and looked at her Secretaryko with her big, adorable eyes.

"Jack ate too fast and forgot to note the taste."

The Secretaryko was taken aback, unsure how to respond.

Jack turned to look at Gretel beside her. Seeing that Gretel was eating slowly and still had half of the food left in her hand, she reached out to grab it.

"Alice, give the rest to Jack!"

Gretel quick reflexes, Tong Yao slapped away Jack's outstretched hand, hurriedly stuffed the remaining half of the hamburger into her mouth, and glared at Jack with her cheeks puffed out.

Seeing that Gretel was also out of things, Jack could only purse his lips and sit back down.

Just then, Ryo Hayama brought over his hamburger and placed it in front of Jack. "Eat this."

Jack immediately reached out and took it. "Okay! Jack, eat slowly this time, and remember to write down the taste."

However, despite saying that, she ate very quickly, finishing the whole hamburger in just a few bites.

The children have finished both hamburgers, and it's time to give the results.

Jack blinked. "Both are delicious!"

Gretel glared at her and said, "You need to give your evaluation now!"

Jack responded with an "Oh," tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, "The one at the back smells better."

Indeed, Ryo Hayama is a spice expert; the aroma alone in his dishes is enough to whet one's appetite.

"I also think the latter one tastes better."

The children all thought that Ryo Hayama's burger was more delicious. Their judgment was very subjective, but that just reflects their preferences. Whether food is delicious or not is an extremely subjective matter.

Without a doubt, Ryo Hayama wins this match!

Secretaryko returned to the lounge, where Erina was waiting for her.

Erina comforted her, saying, "Your Medicinal Cuisine is less appealing to children anyway, so don't be discouraged."

The Secretaryko shook her head. "A loss is a loss. I will continue to try my best."

After the third match ended, the fourth match immediately began with a high-scoring game.

Takumi Subaru Mimasaka are actually going to have Shokugeki in this match.

Subaru Mimasaka, known as the King of Tracking in Totsuki, provoked Takumi's anger, leading to a Shokugeki wagered on Takumi's knife.

What is Shokugeki?

The children don't understand these things, but they will ask.

Senzaemon Nakiri replied, "Shokugeki are battles between chefs, battles where honor is at stake."

"Wow, so it's going to be a fight!"

The children understood the meaning of Shokugeki in their own way, and in some ways, they weren't wrong.

Swordsmen fight with swords, while chefs fight by comparing their culinary skills.

The questions for this competition were also very exciting for the children.

Dessert!

Children love all kinds of food, but their favorite is still dessert, which is a common trait among all children.

They didn't care about fighting; all they cared about was being able to eat delicious desserts.

How should a priest allocate skill points? I need help urgently! (Awaiting answer online!)

"Put all your attribute points into Strength, and for skills, put points into Melee Weapon Mastery, Parry, Berserk, Taunt, Charge, Shield Bash, and Armor Penetration. Finally, put one point into Healing Spell."

"Thank you so much, expert!"

This is the story of a priest who can withstand EA attacks head-on and wield light cannons with his bare hands, saving lives (and causing trouble) in the Moon World, starting in Britannia...

Section 473, Chapter 8: Negative Review!

Shokugeki!

The battle between Subaru Mimasaka and Takumi begins.

Subaru Mimasaka may look big and burly, but his movements while cooking are surprisingly delicate and graceful.

The stark contrast creates a sense of incongruity, reminiscent of Zhang Fei embroidering.

He used the information he obtained about his opponent to gain a detailed understanding of their intelligence. Then, through mental simulation, he modified the opponent's recipes to achieve his goal of gaining the upper hand.

It must be said that although Subaru Mimasaka has a lot of quirky tastes, his talent in cooking is by no means lacking.

Not everyone can do this. As a mecca for chefs, Tōtsuki Academy presents recipes that everyone is very proud of, which can be said to be their most perfect works at the moment.

However, Subaru Mimasaka always manages to find ways to improve upon his opponents, creating dishes that surpass his rivals and winning the Shokugeki.

He has won 99 consecutive Shokugeki like this.

Sure enough, Subaru Mimasaka prepared the exact same ingredients as Takumi, and the dessert he was going to make was exactly the same as Takumi's.

Takumi felt immense pressure; it was as if Subaru Mimasaka was choking him, making it hard for him to breathe.

"What should we do? What should we do?"

Takumi was searching for a breakthrough, hoping to find a way to improve his work temporarily; otherwise, according to the original plan, he had no chance of winning.

The only thing he could think of was the bottle of olive oil his father had given him when he came to the Tōtsuki Academy.

However, all of this was part of Subaru Mimasaka's plan. As the king of tracking, how could he miss such important information?

He had already mentally simulated Takumi's possible reactions and found ways to deal with them.

"Senpai, this person is so annoying." Mash was extremely disgusted by Subaru Mimasaka's actions; she disliked people like him.

Yuxian smiled and said, "Even the most hateful person has a pitiable side."

In his view, Subaru Mimasaka was truly pathetic. What was the point of defeating his opponent in such a way? It was nothing more than him filling the emptiness and boredom in his heart.

As a chef, I cannot find joy in cooking or in bringing delicious food to my customers; instead, I choose to find joy in defeating my rivals.

Subaru Mimasaka lost the most basic thing about being a chef.

How pathetic.

Once the cooking was complete, two identical desserts were placed in front of the children, waiting for them to try them.

Anna picked up a spoon and gently scooped up a spoonful of Subaru Mimasaka's dessert, putting it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up, and stars practically appeared in them, showing how much she loved the dessert.

Subaru Mimasaka was full of confidence in himself, believing that his desserts were definitely better than Takumi's.

Seeing Anna's reaction only made him more smug, and he was no longer worried about winning.

Anna looked up at her, her eyes filled with disgust. "Why don't you just die?"

"Huh?" Subaru Mimasaka never expected Anna to say such a thing to him. Wasn't she just enjoying her dessert?

Little Jeanne had also tasted the dessert, and she nodded in agreement with Anna's words, "I also think that there's no point in you living; it would be better if you died."

Little Jack had already taken out the dagger and was holding it in his hand, his eyes eager to try it out. "Do you need Jack's help? It'll be over in a second, it won't hurt."

Subaru Mimasaka was completely bewildered. What was going on? Had something gone wrong with his dessert?

The children's reaction is a bit off.

Abby said softly, "With your culinary skills, why do you need to learn from others? Wouldn't it be better to make your own food?"

She has a good personality, but she doesn't understand Subaru Mimasaka's actions.

"Hmph!" Gretel snorted coldly, "This is so annoying! We were supposed to have two different desserts, but now we only get one modified version. I'm not satisfied, I'm giving you a bad review!"

"Yes, yes! Terrible! Terrible!" the children chimed in.

The audience in the stands erupted in uproar.

"What's going on? Our junior judges seem to have a lot of opinions about contestant Subaru Mimasaka."

The host spoke up at the opportune moment, voicing everyone's doubts.

Yuxian shook his head gently; he could understand the children's thoughts.

These children are simple-minded, but their actions are consistently mischievous, which is probably related to Yuxian's pampering.

They targeted Subaru Mimasaka precisely because they were satisfied with Subaru Mimasaka desserts; if his desserts didn't interest them, they probably wouldn't have said a word.

Just look at Takumi, who's being ignored, and you'll understand.

Subaru Mimasaka was completely bewildered; he didn't understand what he had done to offend these children.

The judging was over, and it was time to announce the winner.

The children unanimously held up signs declaring Subaru Mimasaka winner, agreeing that his dessert was superior and tastier.

Subaru Mimasaka was even more bewildered by the result, and even forgot to boast to Takumi as a victor.

Three words lingered in his mind: Why?

The children wouldn't explain to him that they had left early, and although today was supposed to be a very happy and satisfying day, they all felt a little unhappy in the end.

They should have been happy to have eaten such delicious desserts.

They found Yuxian and asked, "Master, why do we still feel unhappy even after eating delicious food?"

Yuxian patted each of their heads in turn, smiling as he said, "This shows he hasn't done enough!"

"I knew he should get a bad review!"

Gretel immediately exclaimed, her face full of anger, "But the desserts he makes are really delicious, even better than the other one."

Yuxian, of course, knew exactly what was bothering the children.

Adults might not feel this way; they would rationally evaluate both and arrive at what they believe to be the correct answer.

But children are different; they are innocent and pure-hearted, and they come here to enjoy the food.

Subaru Mimasaka's dessert was like his master hitting Cú Chulainn with a stick. He did win, and his skill was very high, but if you were expecting to see his master's spear skills, you would definitely be disappointed.

This analogy may not be perfect, but it truly reflects the feelings of children today.
