“Oh my god, you have really high standards, Qi Jun.”
"You know, there aren't many people who have these things~"
"I know that too, but there's nothing we can do about it, so we've ended up eating food in a way that's pretty much equal for everyone."
"By the way, Qi Jun, what kind of assignment did you give me?"
Hinako Inui was somewhat surprised to see these people busy at work, and the dishes they were making were so varied that it seemed there was no fixed recipe.
"It's nothing, there's no fixed topic, we're just letting these people do their own thing."
"After all, I'm not very good at assessments, and I find it too troublesome to come up with assessment questions, so I'll just let them handle it."
After hearing this, Hinako slowly took a sip of tea and then reminded Lin Qi.
"While this method would be faster, it would likely involve a wider variety of things, making it difficult for you to judge."
"It's alright, don't worry, I have my own way of judging."
"As for you, you let them do whatever they want. I bet it will take them ages to prepare the ingredients. They'll be done testing here by the time you've even finished cooking."
"Oh my god, I'm really surprised that Qi-kun can hear me. Could it be that he's been secretly watching me all along?"
Hinako was somewhat surprised, not expecting the other party to know, so she took the opportunity to tease him.
"What if I say yes? How about the pretty Hinako-neechan gives me a chance?"
Lin Qi wasn't one to take a loss lying down, and the point is, given your situation, how dare you make fun of me?
Chapter 348 In this situation, everyone should bear joint responsibility!
Lin Qi wasn't one to suffer a loss, and this little Hinako dared to tease him, so he should prepare to face the storm.
After all, how could they not know their own situation? Yet they still dared to court death. To be honest, Lin Qi had to admire their courage.
Hinako Inui never expected that the other party would also be so good at stirring things up. She decisively continued to speak, and she had to admit that seeing the other party bring her face closer made her a little uneasy. The main reason was that the unnatural feeling she had had for so long made her subconsciously want to move closer.
You see, it's because of that dish that I keep dreaming about that scene at night, and the scene is just too embarrassing. To be honest, I've been tormented by it these past few days. I initially thought it was because I was too tired, or because I've been single for too long, that's why I acted this way when I saw a handsome guy. But now that I've met him in person, I instinctively moved closer to him at first, and after hearing what he said, I'm even more flustered.
"Qi Jun, you're really naughty, making fun of your sister."
"My people should be back soon, I should go back."
After saying that, Inui Hinako immediately stood up and fled.
Lin Qi said you're courting death. Knowing your own condition, you still dared to do this. While he acknowledges some responsibility, Lin Qi stated he's an irresponsible person and won't admit any fault!
Anyway, just keep shifting the blame!
However, Lin Qi expressed some helplessness regarding the other party's disappearance, and said he still wanted to chat with them some more, since he was a bit bored.
Twenty minutes later, someone finally handed Lin Qi a bowl of noodles.
"This is Japanese seafood ramen."
Lin Qi looked at the thing without saying a word and picked it up with his chopsticks. After all, it was ready-made. But the way the other party arranged it was like a ghost, it was unbearable to look at. Wasn't this just like what an ordinary person would cook? And they call themselves culinary students? What a joke!
He then ate a bite of noodles, a bite of seafood, and a sip of soup. After glancing at the trash can he had specifically requested, he threw the bowl of noodles into the trash can right in front of everyone.
"You're not qualified, you can get out!"
The man in front of him saw his food being thrown into the trash can by his neighbor, who then said it was substandard. He instantly exploded, dropping the tray in his hand to the ground. He tried to grab Lin Qi by the collar, but when he met Lin Qi's eyes, he instinctively froze.
Not only the other party, but everyone else felt that Lin Qi had changed and become terrifying. They had never felt this kind of pressure even from the Gourmet Demon King. It made them all want to escape. However, they quickly recovered. At this moment, everyone was panting heavily, and the person standing in front of Lin Qi collapsed to the ground, looking terrified.
Lin Qi crossed his legs and slowly spoke, his voice reaching everyone's ears.
“I know many of you are confused, but I want to say that I have my own way of judging and my own standards. This bowl of noodles was made without any care. To put it bluntly, the noodles were overcooked and the soup was awful. And all the toppings were absolutely terrible. How dare you serve this to people?”
"Most importantly, this is a complete bluff. You dare to bluff me? You've got some nerve!"
"Whether someone puts their heart into this is completely evident in their taste. Now I'm adding a requirement: if anyone dares to serve dishes in a perfunctory manner, they will all be deemed substandard! This is a joint liability; you can hold that person accountable afterward, and even if you throw them into the sea, it's none of my business."
Lin Qi's words came with a murderous intent, and as he spoke them to our ears, the eyes of these people widened in shock.
"Continue cooking."
Upon hearing this, the people subconsciously continued cooking, but this time they were all on high alert, afraid that something like this might happen again. Lin Qi's move even made them afraid to do anything reckless. If they were expelled because of them, they would be doomed when they got out.
Meanwhile, someone was guarding the door, mainly in case these students caused trouble because of their expulsion. So they came in and dragged the person sitting on the ground away.
The others kept glancing at Lin Qi as they cooked, as if he were a demon king.
These people originally thought the other party was about their age and easy to fool, but now it seems that they were nothing compared to this. This was a super demon king, and his aura made them feel like they would be killed if they made a mistake. It was terrifying.
When the later people brought out the dishes, their hands were trembling, and they looked apprehensive. As a result, half of the later people were expelled from school by Lin Qi.
After Lin Qi returned, he met with the others, and then Dojima Gin walked over.
"Lord Lynch."
"Chef Dojima, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Dojima Gin smiled and pulled Lin Qi aside to speak.
"Lord Lynch, what do you think of the students' level at Totsuki Academy?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi understood what the other person was referring to.
"Okay, at most we'll lower the passing grade a bit. To be honest, my requirements aren't high. First, they have to put their heart into it. Second, it doesn't have to taste bad. If there are no more than 80 flaws in total, I'll pass them."
"But they themselves were so disappointing. Especially after the first one ate it, I wanted to throw it right into the sea. It was such a perfunctory attitude..."
So, how do you train them here?
Dojima Gin didn't know much about the situation, only that you were a bit ruthless. After hearing this, his eyes widened.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't expect a student council to act like this. It's really a serious incident for a chef to serve food with such a perfunctory attitude."
"This situation suggests that ideological education has been insufficient at times."
Dojima Gin also felt a little embarrassed, because Lin Qin had no reason to joke. If the other party said that, then it meant that someone really served the dishes with a perfunctory attitude, just because the other party was young. But here's the problem: no matter who the other party is, since the food is to be served to them, as a chef, you have to risk your dignity as a chef and do your best.
He went back and decided to find out who was the first to do this, and to blacklist all their businesses, since he couldn't cooperate with Yuanyue anyway.
After exchanging a few words with the other party, Lin Qi left, also promising to go easy on them during future reviews.
While Lin Qi was wandering around, he had other work to do that night, but he could only wander around alone. Since he had gone to the farthest place, everyone except one other person who hadn't returned because of the protagonist returned.
This led to word of what he had done spreading among the students, and everyone prayed they wouldn't be assessed under him. Otherwise, the chances of dropping out were incredibly high; half the students dropped out in the very first round.
"Ryoko, it's so good to see you. I never imagined that someone who was so handsome could be so terrifying."
At this moment, on the Food Wars side, one of the main characters, a girl, was holding another girl's hand and spoke in a nervous tone.
Upon hearing this, the person being held smiled, mirroring the worried expressions on the faces of their companions.
"Actually, Professor Lin Qi is not as terrible as people say."
The others were stunned when they heard this.
"At first, Professor Lin Qi was indeed very angry, but that was because the other party just casually served him a dish to appease him, which is why he got angry."
Upon hearing this, the people looked as if they suddenly understood. So that's how it is. They really did lack the ethics of a chef, actually trying to fob people off with their food. No wonder the person was angry.
Chapter 349 Erina, you're not slacking off, are you?
"And the key point is that as long as you pass the test, they will occasionally give you a word or two of pointers."
After hearing this, these people realized that it was all a misunderstanding, mainly because there were quite a few students dropping out of school.
"I heard from people around me that the other person made a very delicious dish, right?"
"One person almost fainted from the deliciousness after finishing the meal."
At this moment, someone who had heard the information spoke up in a curious tone, completely unaware that the person was right in front of them.
As Ryoko Sakaki recalled what had happened, the main issue was that she wasn't the one who served the dish at the beginning; she served it at the end. Many people were eliminated earlier, and many were dissatisfied, even whispering that this person couldn't cook.
Seeing the skeptical voices around him, Lin Qi demonstrated his skills briefly, then thought for a moment and had the main characters try it out.
The other person's intoxicated expression said it all; in fact, they were even helped away by others when they left.
Ryoko Sakaki, recalling the delicious taste and the experience of putting you in, didn't dare to think about Lin Qi's face anymore; she realized how lewd she had been.
At the same time, I wondered if I would ever have the chance to eat that dish again.
Honestly, for Ryoko Sakaki, if she could taste that delicious food again in 08, she would be willing to pay any price!
Lin Qi, the culprit, was completely unaware of this mess, or perhaps he simply forgot that these people had different strengths and therefore different resistances to delicious food. He had already gone easy on them, yet this still happened.
Of course, he was taking advantage of his leisure time to wander around when he unexpectedly ran into people who were having fun.
Lin Qi walked straight to their side, plopped down, and the girls were stunned when they saw him.
"Aren't you still at work? What? Did you sneak out to slack off?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately spoke with a puzzled tone, after all, this person looked like someone who was just out slacking off.
"You're overthinking it. Everyone needs time to rest. I'm not one of those students who came here to undergo a regional test. They'll soon be cooking a 50-person feast for those around them who are participating in club activities and training before dinner."
"As for me, I'm the mentor, so I just need to make a few rounds. It's quite flexible, isn't it?"
"So what were you doing before?"
May spoke at this moment in a questioning tone.
"And why do I feel like the way people around you are looking at you is weird?"
At this point, the girls also noticed that quite a few strange looks were being directed at them.
Lin Qi wanted to have a drink, but found that there didn't seem to be any for him. Just as he was about to ask someone to buy him a drink, Liu Mei quickly pushed hers in front of him.
"Qi, if you're thirsty, you can drink mine first, provided you don't mind."
Lin Qi didn't waste any words and started gulping down the drink.
"Ha~"
"Actually, it's nothing. Half of the people I mentored dropped out of school."
The girls were stunned when Lin Qi said those words so casually.
"Isn't this from a culinary school? Dropping out like that, isn't that a bit too impulsive?"
Miku's head was full of question marks at this moment.
