"A match with HIM? I admit he's very skilled—he can't even be called a student anymore. But Dojima-senpai, aren't you underestimating me? Even if my skills have stagnated, I'M STILL A SECOND CLASS CHEF!"
Shinomiya's expression twisted again upon hearing Gin Dojima's words. In his view, although Yuuki was very strong, for Yuuki to compete with him, there was still a gap between them.
"Don't underestimate Yuuki. Although he's a Third Class Chef, somewhat below your rank, in many aspects, you're no match for him—" Gin Dojima said with a smile.
Besides being unbeatable in fire control, Yuuki had other unique qualities, for example, what Dojima had learned during his conversation with Senzaemon Nakiri.
Yuuki had incorporated the flaws in his dish—turning them into assets. Dojima had never heard of such a technique; it could only be said that Yuuki's cooking was indeed very special.
This time, besides Yuuki being the only suitable candidate, THIS was the most crucial reason for inviting Yuuki to help.
"Even if you say that..." Shinomiya was still very reluctant to compete with Yuuki, a mere student.
"Have a match with him, Shinomiya. Since you think you're not wrong, prove it to us!"
Just as Shinomiya was about to refuse, Roland Chapelle spoke up. This truly startled both Shinomiya and Gin Dojima.
The reason was simple: Roland Chapelle always followed the rules and wouldn't break them. This was why in the original story, the other graduates stopped Roland Chapelle when the informal Shokugeki took place.
This time, because Roland Chapelle already knew about Shinomiya's problem, Gin Dojima had spoken up directly in front of him.
He had already prepared himself to be stopped by Roland Chapelle—never did he expect Roland Chapelle to actively try to convince Shinomiya!
Actually, there was a reason for Roland Chapelle's decision. Firstly, he was very optimistic about Shinomiya before and didn't want to see him continue .
Secondly, he was also very interested in Yuuki. Previously, in school, Yuuki had privileges to skip classes. So, after learning about Yuuki's situation, he had always been quite curious.
Although he was also present during the Elite Ten battle, he hadn't personally tasted Yuuki's cooking. Now, having this opportunity, he naturally wanted to taste it himself.
With Roland Chapelle's persuasion, Shinomiya also agreed.
Dojima also smiled at this.
This was good—he had already been planning to force Shinomiya's hand.
After all, Shinomiya intended to return to work in Japan. Returning meant he couldn't avoid interacting with Tōtsuki. So, he had also planned to put some pressure on Shinomiya. But now that Roland Chapelle had spoken up, there was no need for him to do so.
Just like that, the informal Shokugeki was established. As for judges, Gin Dojima also dragged Hitoshi Sekimori over. Sekimori's assessment was the steak set meal, which would take place in the evening.
He was also the only graduate who currently had nothing to do. Three judges, satisfying the odd-number principle.
"Having them do a Shokugeki? Even if it's an informal one, isn't that a bit reckless?!" Hitoshi Sekimori, having just learned about this matter, was also completely baffled.
A graduate having a Shokugeki with a student, and with Roland Chapelle and Gin Dojima both agreeing—no matter how you looked at it, it didn't make sense.
"We'll see whether it's reckless after we see the results. So, the three of us will be judges for this informal Shokugeki. As for the theme of your Shokugeki, there's only one: Innovation! The time limit is two hours." Gin Dojima stated.
This theme also surprised Yuuki somewhat. In the original story, the theme of the Shokugeki between Shinomiya and Megumi Tadokoro had been the leftover vegetables.
But now, for his Shokugeki, the theme was Innovation. As for ingredients, there were no restrictions.
Yuuki guessed that Gin Dojima chose "Innovation" as the theme because of Shinomiya's stubborn refusal to accept anything new.
The reason Megumi Tadokoro's dish in the original story moved Shinomiya was because she had created a dish that never forgot the basics, and also made sufficient innovations, further modifying Shinomiya's own recipe.
"Since the ingredients are up to us, then I'll need a live cow," Yuuki declared.
Shinomiya was, after all, a Second Class Chef. If Yuuki wanted to defeat him, he naturally had to demonstrate his own advantages.
His greatest advantages now were his knife skills and fire control. He intended to use the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash. Requesting a live cow wasn't because he wanted to show off or anything—
—But to perform the slaughtering and butchering himself, perfectly demonstrating the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash.
This Secret Technique could dissect an entire cow without shedding a drop of blood, perfectly preserving the essence of the beef.
Keep in mind, normally during the processes of slaughtering and butchering, some flavor and essence would be lost. That's why Yuuki planned to start directly from the step of slaughtering the live cow.
Anyway, with the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash Secret Technique, he could complete the slaughtering and butchering in an instant.
"A live cow? You plan to slaughter it right here?! You only have two hours!" This time, even Gin Dojima was stunned.
What was this operation? Slaughtering a live cow on site?! How much time would that take?!
"Don't worry. Since I made this choice, naturally I have my reasons." Yuuki said with a smile.
Never mind the fact he had the Raging Bull Blue Dragon Slash. Even without it, he would DARE to do it. After all, with Food Honor, his efficiency was many times higher than a normal person's.
Why were those Chefs in the world of Toriko so fast at preparing dishes? Besides their physical conditioning, Food Honor was the key—
After hearing Yuuki's words, Gin Dojima didn't say anything more but directly had someone bring over a live cow. For the Tōtsuki Resort, acquiring a live cow was very easy.
