The only possibility was that this guy was going easy.
"Soma needs experience. The World Culinary Competition is the best time. That kid will transform in this grand event and reach a whole new level!"
"You really are willing to go all out. Didn't you like that chef's knife a lot?"
"If I didn't give away the chef's knife, Asahi wouldn't be much stronger than Soma. Plus, I already owe him, and it's just a chef's knife I used during my student days. It's still well-maintained."
Saiba Joichiro slowly stood up from the ground, without a trace of embarrassment on his face. As he spoke, he gently patted the dust off his backside, his eyes filled with a certain eagerness.
"Seeing that you didn't have a satisfying match just now, let's have a long-awaited match, Joichiro."
Staring at the man in front of him for a long time, Hoshino Tani Ren suddenly smiled, then slowly walked towards the other cooking station, a hint of battle intent appearing on his face.
"Gladly! I won't go easy this time."
"I don't need you to go easy."
Hearing Hoshino Tani Ren's words, Saiba Joichiro's face also showed battle intent. Then he took out another knife from his kitchen tool case. If his opponent was Hoshino, Chief, he had to go all out!

Far Moon Academy, Outpost Battle Venue.
"Alright, alright, alright, alright, it's starting! Blue's Outpost Battle!"
"This is a cooking showdown for the three entry slots to the world-class competition, 'BLUE', which every chef aspires to! Even by chance, if you can bite into the top spots, you'll make a huge profit—!"
With an exaggerated expression on her face, Kawashima Rei clearly looked forward to this competition, while compared to her, the host next to her, Sasaki Yua, seemed much shyer.
"The judges are gentlemen and ladies of all ages. Each person will rate the dishes out of ten points. The three with the highest total scores will receive the BLUE entry rights."
Holding a microphone, Sasaki Yua spoke softly beside her.
"The head judge is Dojima Gin, the Executive Chef of Yuanyue Resort!"
As Kawashima Rei's words fell, a drone flying in the sky quickly switched cameras, projecting Dojima Gin onto the large screen at the venue.
"This time, as always, I will strictly examine all of you!"
"Please guide us, Chef Dojima.
Ingredients are free, the theme is 'Soup'. Each person must complete their dish within the allotted time. I look forward to your results.
Now, begin cooking!"
Striking a cool pose, Erina Nakiri held the microphone and shouted to the contestants below, and as her words fell, the scene instantly became lively!
Whether it was the Totsuki Ten Elite, or those who had previously failed to be selected for the Elite Ten, or even some veteran third-year students, Hoshino Sora also saw Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai among them.
It must be said that world-class competitions are indeed attractive. The chefs below, if nothing unexpected happens, should be the highest quality elite of Far Moon.
"Are you also interested in this competition?"
Seeing Hoshino Sora sitting in the front row of the audience from afar, Erina Nakiri walked over and asked curiously. When the people around saw her coming, they all voluntarily made way.
"Didn't you all come to participate in the competition? I was a bit bored staying in the dormitory alone, so I came to watch. And by watching everyone's cooking, I can also learn a lot."
Looking at Erina Nakiri walking towards him, Hoshino Sora smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to the bottom. He wasn't boasting; by watching others' cooking processes, he could indeed learn a lot.
Plus, he also had Chef's Heart. As long as he tasted a dish, he could gain part of the chef's experience. This was also why he always asked the opponent to save a portion of the dish for him in every match.
If Saiba Asahi's Crossed Knives could fuse the techniques of two chefs at the same time, creating gourmet food that could make the eater enter another dimension, then he could fuse the abilities of multiple chefs at the same time, pulling out the diners who entered another dimension!
