After the "Gokusei Ryo" launched a counterattack against the "Gourmet Central Agency", the Metropolitan Police Department also began to investigate Totsuki Academy. Nakiri Hisashi was caught in a lawsuit, but he no longer had the energy to stand on the front line and supervise reforms.
The fairness of the "Shokuji Administration Bureau" has been questioned by students. Isekhui used her last time as a member of the "Top Ten" to speed up and pass the "Isshiki Law". Under the original "Shokuji" rules, the reviewers were required to It must be handled by a neutral third party outside the school, so that the "Gourmet Central Organization" cannot control the outcome of the "Gourmet Central Organization" and the groups in the school that oppose the "Gourmet Central Organization" will no longer be It's so despairing, and it's also because students who are dissatisfied with the dictatorship of the "Culinary Central Agency" finally have the courage to resist.
But even so, the "Gourmet Central Organization" that gathers the best students in the academy still has an overwhelming advantage when facing the challenges of other students.
The reason why the Hunting Remnant Party is called the Hunting Remnant Party is because the "Gourmet Center" has always believed that students who are dissatisfied with the "Ji regime" are nothing to worry about.
After ensuring the impartiality of the "Shoku Halberd", the members of the "Shoku Halberd" sent by the "Gourmet Central Agency" were still unstoppable, completely defeating the rebels who launched the "Shoku Halberd" with an irresistible force, and in the "Pole Star" After the "Liao", the only one that resisted the attack of the "Gourmet Central Organization" was the "Advanced Cuisine Research Association" headed by Alice Nakiri. Finally, the entire territory of Totsuki Academy was not stained by the "Thistle Regime" color.
"Really, that Alice guy is working hard..."
It was another Sunday, and Erina Nakiri was sitting on the sofa in the living room of Yan Kai's house, looking at the line message sent by Alice and sighing sincerely.
In the past few days, after getting her line number from Nito Hisako, she has been using the line to learn about the situation of Totsuki Academy. She knows what kind of crisis the academy is in now, and she also knows that Alice Nakiri is here. It is not easy to take up the banner of resisting the "Ji regime" at this time.
Thinking that everyone else was fighting bravely, but she, the former commander-in-chief, could only hide outside the academy and watch others work hard, Nakiri Erina felt sad.
Another week passed. A week ago, Nakiri Senzaemon asked Nakiri Erina what she planned to do in the future. Nakiri Erina did not answer because she had not made up her mind to resist her father, her self-esteem and sense of responsibility. It also made her unwilling to admit defeat and stay away from Totsuki.
Nakiri Senzaemon didn't get an answer from his granddaughter, but he didn't ask Erina Nakiri to tell him the answer immediately.
He has already fully realized the consequences of pressing too hard, and he doesn't want to have to learn it again with Nakiri Erina.
Holding the chubby Ah Jiu in her arms, resting her chin on its head, feeling its soft hair, at this moment, only Ah Jiu could comfort her confused mind.
Ajiu, who was taking a nap, suddenly shook his ears and woke up. He jumped out of Nakiri Erina's arms nimbly. He first walked a few steps on all fours and walked to the corner of the room. He stood up and raised his head with his paws. He picked up the watering can placed in the corner and walked into the bathroom with a wiggle of his butt.
After the sound of water being discharged, Ah Jiu came to the balcony with a kettle in hand, skillfully rubbed open the balcony glass window with his back, and gently held the kettle to water several pots of chives placed on the balcony.
The chives were grown by Yan Kai. It just means that the Central Plains people have a genetic attack. Seeing the balcony empty without planting something makes me feel uncomfortable. But he usually doesn’t have time to take care of it, so Ajiu has always been responsible for it. Water these pots of chives.
Anyway, chives don’t need much water, just water them once every three days, Ah Jiu remembered.
Eve, who was sitting on the sofa nearby and reading a book, raised her head and looked at Nakiri Erina but hesitated to speak.
"Eve, do you have anything to say?"
Nakiri Erina noticed that Eve was hesitant to speak and couldn't help but ask.
Eve hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Uh, Miss Erina, aren't you surprised to see Ajiu watering the onions?"
Nakiri Erina looked puzzled and said: "Is there anything that should surprise you?"
"Well..." Eve thought about the words for a moment, and then said, "Ajiu is a 'dog'. Isn't it weird for a 'dog' to water it?"
It is already unusual for a dog to be able to stand on two legs and walk. Aku can also carry a watering can to water onions. However, this Miss Nakiri Erina is not surprised at all. Could it be that she also recognizes Aku's true identity? ?
"What's so strange about this?" Nakiri Erina said with a normal look, "I've even seen cats playing video games! There is a big cat in Sanzenyuan's house, and it always plays video games with its owner. He often wins, by the way, does Ah Jiu know how to play game consoles?"
Well, as expected, the world of rich people is different from ours. It’s just my lack of knowledge that makes me fuss...
"..." Eve swallowed, and then replied with difficulty, "I don't know about this, I can let Ah Jiu try..."
"Okay then, I'll take Ajiu to try it out later. I remember Mr. Liangzi has the newly released PS5."
Nakiri Erina nodded.
Recently, Erina Nakiri lives in the Mingshan Apartment. She doesn't have to work or go to school, and there aren't that many ingredients for her to practice her cooking skills. Yankai and the others have to go to school and work during the day, so she can only play games and watch movies in an empty house. It is a way to relieve boredom, but it is easy to get bored when playing games alone. If she teaches Ah Jiu how to play games, she can let Yan Kai keep Ah Jiu in the apartment to play games with her during the day!
"..." Eve looked at Nakiri Erina with something even more strange.
It’s over, Miss Erina has been completely tamed by Sister Ryoko...
Eve complained in her mind.
When she was thinking about how to teach Ah Ku how to play games, the phone placed next to Nakiri Erina vibrated several times. She opened the phone and saw that several people had sent her messages at the same time, and all of them The contents of the messages were surprisingly consistent, that is, the final hunt was about to begin!
…………………………
After putting on her school uniform for the first time in a long time (with the help of Ryoko Mikado), Erina Nakiri took a deep breath, walked to Yan Kai's study and said to Yan Kai: "Send me back to school!"
"ha?"
Yan Kai, who was thinking about the next plot of the comic, showed a big puzzled expression.
Miss, what are you doing?
"The end of the semester is almost here."
Nakiri Erina said to Yan.
Yan Kai suddenly realized, he nodded seriously and said: "It seems that's right, the final exam is about to take place... I really have a headache, I should let Chitong slow down and practice and read more, otherwise the final exam will be too ugly. , Grandpa Beishan will be unhappy, he values learning..."
(Chitong, who was meditating and practicing in the next room, felt a chill running down his spine and suddenly woke up from his trance.)
"Indeed, it will be very bad if you fail the exam..." Nakiri Erina nodded subconsciously, then quickly realized something was wrong and said angrily, "No, that's not what I meant!"
What nonsense is this bastard from Central Plains talking about?
"Then what do you mean?" Yan Kai asked calmly.
He found that he seemed to be very good at dealing with people who were always angry. Anyway, no matter how angry they were, he just needed to be calm.
Huh? Why do we specifically use "them" as a reference?
"..." Taking a deep breath to suppress her anger, Nakiri Erina said seriously, "Totsuki's annual promotion exam is about to begin!"
Yan Kai thought carefully and then quickly asked: "Wait a minute, shouldn't your school's promotion exam be at the end of the third semester?"
Japanese schools have a three-semester system, and each academic year has three semesters. The same is true for Totsuki Academy. It is now late November, and it is only the last month of the second semester. Is it time to start preparing for the promotion exam in a hurry? ?
"Are you Yuanyue so eager to expel students? This can save you a lot of money, right?"
Yan Kai asked after thinking for a while.
As the most prestigious culinary school in Japan, the tuition fees of Totsuki Academy are actually not high, which is slightly higher than the tuition fees of ordinary private schools. Otherwise, the students from "Gokusei Ryo" whose family conditions are not very good would not be able to attend. Starting from Totsuki Academy.
But in this way, as a vocational school that specializes in cultivating professional cooks, Totsuki Academy is definitely losing money in terms of tuition fees alone, because the academy needs to provide a large amount of ingredients for students to try out in every practical class. The quality of the hotel cannot be low, because Totsuki specializes in high-end cuisine, and there are facilities such as "Totsuki Resort" and "Totsuki Forest Training Base" that are free for students to use, each of which is not a small expense.
Of course, Totsuki Academy can also make profits from students, such as the "Autumn Selection" to attract partners, and the "Moon Festival" to bring a large number of visitors to stimulate consumption...
But these activities are really effective for those outstanding students. Among other ordinary students, Totsuki is definitely losing money. Thinking about it this way, expelling these losing students early may be the way for Totsuki Academy to control costs. There is no choice, Yan Kai thinks so.
Yan Kai remembered that the pass rate for Totsuki Academy's promotion exam was probably one in ten. If nine out of ten students were simply expelled, how much education costs would be saved? It was indeed a school run by a big capitalist, and it knew how to calculate costs. , cruel enough!
"certainly not!"
Nakiri Erina was furious, how could this Central Plains person always use such sinister intentions to speculate on Totsuki Academy's behavior? It was so abominable!
"why?"
Yan Kai asked.
"Of course it is to improve the average quality of our Toyue students!"
Nakiri Erina said proudly.
Yan Kai suddenly realized: "So, expelling students with relatively poor quality is called improving the average quality..."
Is this the teaching method of Japan’s number one culinary school? Learned a lot!
"Is there any problem?" Nakiri Erina frowned, she always felt that there was something in Yan Kai's words.
"No problem, no problem." Yan Kai shook his head repeatedly.
He knew that there were some things that did not make sense to Nakiri Erina. The three views she had developed since she was a child were like this, and it was useless to say anything.
"Then, what do you want to say?"
Yan Kai asked Nakiri Erina.
Nakiri Erina put aside her suspicions and explained to Yan Kai: "According to father's new regulations, the format of this promotion exam will be changed and become a cooking practice assessment to review the content taught by the 'Gourmet Central Agency'. It is said to be very simple, as long as If you respond calmly, anyone can pass. Well, after all, my father's inauguration declaration is to give every Totsuki student a chance to graduate. And all those who oppose my father's rules need to continue to use the old assessment method, that is Last year, one hundred and ninety participants were eliminated from the ultra-difficult hell test of 114. Of course, the main purpose of this test is to eliminate all those who resist my father's regime, so this difficulty will be unprecedented. Yes, my father must be planning to have all those who resist him eliminated in this promotion exam!"
After listening to Nakiri Erina's words, Yan Kai thought for a while, took out his phone and opened Line.
"What do you want to do?" Nakiri Erina asked Yan Kaida strangely.
"It's nothing, tell Xiaohui and the others to stop resisting your father, and let's go to the second grade together hand in hand. Isn't this great!" Yan Kai lowered his head and said to Nakiri Erina while editing the message for Tazoe, "Just tell me. I wrongly blamed your father. I thought he was an inhumane weirdo with a unique aesthetic. It turns out that he is a good person. He actually wants to let all students from Yuanyue graduate. Although some of his actions are a bit excessive, no one is perfect. Man, as long as he can really improve the overall graduation rate of Totsuki Academy, I think he will be a saint-like existence in the eyes of most Totsuki students!"
"Don't mess around with me!"
Nakiri Erina hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop Yan Kai.
"Pole Star House" and Nakiri Alice are currently the only flames of hope that can successfully resist the "Gourmet Central Agency". She still hopes that this spark will eventually start a prairie fire, but don't let Yan Kai extinguish it directly.
"You have to know that if we obey the rules of the 'Culinary Central Organization', Xiaohui and the others will not be able to study cooking freely in the school!"
Nakiri Erina said to Yan seriously.
Cooking is free. If you can only follow the path defined by others, then for a cook, living is also dead. This is the reason why she fiercely opposes the new rules set by her father. She cannot look at herself. My father "killed" most of Totsuki's cooks, even if they were not that good.
Yan Kai looked back at Nakiri Erina with incomprehensible eyes: "So what? It doesn't matter if you can't study cooking in the academy. Xiaohui and the others can study in the 'Pole Star House'! Can the school still control the students' off-campus life? That's not the case. What kind of bad habits affect social morals..."
"..."
Nakiri Erina was stunned for a moment.
Yes, "Gokusei Ryo" is not considered the territory of the school. Nakiri Hisagi stipulates that only the "Gourmet Center" in the school can study cooking, but there is no regulation and no authority to stipulate that students cannot study cooking-related matters at home. On the one hand, Nata Tomoe and the others can take the courses taught by the "Gourmet Central Organization" step by step in the academy and pass the upgrade exam, and then continue to live exactly the same life as before in the "Gokusei Ryo". This is no problem...
Going a step further, this can also be done for other students besides the "Gokusei Ryo". Most of the students at Totsuki Academy are born in wealthy families. For the convenience of commuting, they all rent houses outside the academy. There are also many who directly purchase real estate. , after all, they are all rich sons and daughters who are not short of money. If they renovate the place where they live, wouldn't they be able to re-establish societies, seminars, etc. as before? It's just that they don't have the financial support of the school, and they no longer have Totsuki's certification, but in this case, the "Culinary Central Agency" doesn't have the power to control them?
On the one hand, you can enjoy the benefits provided by the "Gourmet Central Agency", and on the other hand, you can prevent ordinary students from giving up their own research, making the academy a monotonous and lifeless academy. Isn't this a perfect solution to all problems?
Nakiri Erina suddenly discovered a path she had never imagined!
