"You want to have a Shokugeki with me?"
This time, it was Mimasaka Subaru's turn to be stunned.
He had already prepared all sorts of arguments to force Satou into a Shokugeki with him.
But he didn't expect the other party to propose the Shokugeki first.
The opponents he had encountered before, upon seeing him, either turned pale with fright and were forced into a Shokugeki with him, or were enraged by him. But someone who seemed to be waiting for him to show up, like this, seemed to be the first.
"That's right, how about it? Do you dare to accept?"
Satou smiled faintly and asked.
"Satou, you don't have to have a Shokugeki with him."
Both Miyoko Hojo and Sadatsuka Nao were a little worried.
After all, the Tracker's reputation was not for nothing.
"It's fine. Miyoko, since you are now a member of the Rare Ingredients Research Society, I certainly won't allow anyone to lay a hand on you."
Satou said.
Miyoko Hojo stared at him blankly, unsure what to say for a moment.
"Then it's settled. If you lose, I want your kitchen knife."
Mimasaka Subaru chuckled and said, "How about it?"
"Alright, but if you lose, you need to return Miyoko's kitchen knife to her, and furthermore, you must become my subordinate."
Satou smiled faintly and said.
Mimasaka Subaru frowned slightly. This condition seemed a bit unequal. A kitchen knife for a kitchen knife was one thing, but if he also had to become his subordinate...
"My kitchen knife isn't that easy to get, so it's normal to have additional conditions, isn't it?"
Satou said.
"That's true."
Mimasaka Subaru nodded. To him, Satou's kitchen knife was indeed far more valuable than Miyoko Hojo's kitchen knife.
"Alright then, I accept this condition. The time will be three days from now."
He said, "You decide the theme."
"As for the theme, it will be pork."
Satou said.
"Pork?"
Mimasaka Subaru began to ponder what kind of pork dishes Satou had made at school and what dish he would make three days later.
"Are you thinking about what dish I'll make?"
Satou looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "I heard your title is the Tracker? You're said to be able to replicate any dish?"
"That's right. It's a bit late to remember that now."
Mimasaka Subaru's lips curved into a slight smile. "No matter how good you are, I can still replicate your dish and improve upon it."
"Very well, then I'll tell you that the dish I'm going to make three days from now is Twice Cooked Pork."
Satou smiled proudly and said, "If you can replicate it, then go ahead and replicate it."
"You?!"
Mimasaka Subaru, Miyoko Hojo, Sadatsuka Nao, and the others looked at him in surprise. This was the first time someone dared to directly tell the Tracker the name of the dish they were going to make!
"How interesting, to directly tell me the name of the dish."
Mimasaka Subaru couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then I look forward to that day."
Once Mimasaka Subaru left, Sadatsuka Nao and Miyoko Hojo immediately became anxious.
"Satou, how could you just tell him the dish name?"
"Yeah, was he deliberately given the wrong dish?"
Satou shook his head and said, "Of course it's the correct dish name, but I believe that even if he makes the same dish as me, he absolutely cannot surpass me."
Even if the other party could replicate the dish, he could never replicate the ingredients.
At that time, as long as he used the pork from the Red-haired Pig, he would definitely be able to surpass him.
Speaking of which, after getting the Twice Cooked Pork recipe yesterday, Satou hadn't practiced it yet, so he experimented a few times in the activity room with ordinary pork belly, and let Miyoko Hojo and Sadatsuka Nao taste it.
In the afternoon, after Satou finished lunch, just as he was about to go to class, he suddenly saw Yuki Yoshino and Ryoko Sakaki walking out of the teaching building in a panic.
As soon as they saw Satou, both of them were overjoyed. Yuki Yoshino quickly went up and said, "It's bad, Satou, there's another Satou in the classroom!"
"Another me?"
Satou rolled his eyes, thinking, 'I don't have Shadow Clone Jutsu.'
"No, it's another person who looks very much like you."
Ryoko Sakaki corrected Yuki Yoshino's grammatical error.
"Could it be..."
Satou's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked towards the classroom...
Sure enough, in the classroom, he saw Mimasaka Subaru wearing clothes similar to his, standing at his cooking station, holding Tadokoro Megumi's hand, and imitating his tone, saying, "Then, Megumi, let's work hard together in the next class."
Poor Tadokoro Megumi had already fainted from fright.
"It's this guy!"
Yuki Yoshino quickly said.
Satou almost spat out a mouthful of blood, "This is the person you said looks very much like me? He doesn't look like me at all! I'm not that ugly!"
The students in the classroom were all gloating.
"Hehe, it seems that guy Satou must have been targeted by Mimasaka Subaru, right?"
"Yeah, I heard that after this guy targets a certain person, he will imitate them like this."
"Although Satou usually has very good grades, facing this pervert, it's still more bad than good, right?"
"Hey, Ryoko, Yuuki, let's go celebrate at Polar Star Dormitory again tonight."
Mimasaka Subaru saw Ryoko Sakaki and Yuki Yoshino, immediately greeted them warmly, imitating Satou's tone, and laughed heartily.
Ryoko Sakaki and Yuki Yoshino: "..."
"I say, haven't I already told you the dish I'm going to make tomorrow? Why are you still here?"
Satou couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, maybe this is your trap, who knows. I won't fall for it so easily. Anyway, let's get a clear understanding of your situation first."
Mimasaka Subaru chuckled and said.
"Hey, Satou!"
At this moment, a hand rested on Mimasaka Subaru's shoulder. It was Yukihira Soma.
"Yukihira-kun, are you also here for class?"
Mimasaka Subaru turned his head, a brilliant smile on his face, while imitating Satou's tone.
Yukihira Soma was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes and fainted directly from fright.
Next, it was class time.
"Megumi, give me the chopped tofu."
Satou said to Tadokoro Megumi beside him.
"Megumi, give me the chopped tofu."
Mimasaka Subaru, on Tadokoro Megumi's other side, also followed suit.
Tadokoro Megumi: "..."
Mom, I want to drop out of school.
