Shuchiin Academy's Cooking Classroom. Today's lesson is a cooking class in groups of three. Uchiha Ryo was planning to find an excuse to skip class when he was grabbed by his classmate Chitanda Eru.
"Ryo-kun, be in a group with me!"
Chitanda Eru seemed very serious about the cooking class, while Uchiha Ryo was indifferent. Just a cooking class! He dared to skip Japanese literature class, so was he afraid of some cooking class?
However, according to Student Council President Shirogane Miyuki, this cooking class seemed to have an exam, and life skills exams are related to students' daily scores, so it's best to get an excellent grade.
This is the biggest difference between Shuchiin and other institutions.
Also being one of the four major high schools in the Tokyo area, Shuchiin, as a paradise for children of nobility, places equal emphasis on life skills courses and academic courses. After all, these students will either inherit family property or embark on a political career to become high officials somewhere after graduation.
Studying is their own business. For example, Ishigami Yu's original idea was to be a NEET after graduation, or his family would throw him a small company to be the president.
By the way, among the four major high schools, Toyogasaki Private Academy is considered a traditional academic-oriented institution. So if Bocchi wants to do well with their music over there, she must ensure she passes every subject, otherwise she will really be held back or even expelled.
And Hyakkaou Private Academy, which is also deeply loved by noble children... is completely a place liked by those dandies who don't like studying at all. Over there, no excellent grades or life skills are needed. The only thing they value is... gambling skills!
The reason why the overall quality of Shuchiin students is high is that most of the uncultured dandy young masters and arrogant young ladies have gone to Hyakkaou to have fun.
As for the last one, Yoto High School... as a rare institution in the Tokyo area that has established a performing arts department, they don't rely on outstanding grades or powerful backgrounds. They are ranked among the four major high schools simply because the school has cultivated most of the stars and idols.
Thinking carefully... Shuchiin seems to have exchange student activities every year. Last semester Uchiha Ryo went to Toyogasaki. Should he also participate in this activity next time?
If participating in the exchange student activity, which of the remaining two would be better to go to...
Back to the topic, Shuchiin still attaches great importance to cultivating students' conduct and insight, so... cooking class has become a nightmare in many people's eyes.
Because the requirement to pass the exam is to make a dish that makes a professional chef nod! What kind of joke is this? Many students who planned to muddle through began to think hard to find coping methods.
And the method they came up with is!!!
Anyway, groups of three, as long as one of the three has a high level of cooking, isn't it fine?!
"So, Ryo-kun, plus me and Yukino are in a group! As for Hayasaka Ai, let her go with Shinomiya-san and Fujiwara-san."
Chitanda Eru directly arranged the six people. Anyway, the three people teaming up don't have to be in the same class, as long as they are in the same grade.
As for Shirogane Miyuki? That guy is a hot commodity, no need to worry. And with Shirogane Miyuki's cooking level, passing is no problem at all.
"Uchiha, in that case we are rivals! Even in cooking, I absolutely won't lose!" Shirogane Miyuki formed a team with two male classmates.
"First of all, you haven't won against me anywhere else. Secondly... it's just a cooking exam, why are you so serious?"
Uchiha Ryo expressed that just making a dish casually later to guarantee a pass is enough, right? Anyway, as long as he perfectly copies the instructor's movements, he can copy the other party's dish.
Shirogane Miyuki chuckled. "This is not a simple cooking exam! If you win the exam, you can get the usage rights of the school cooking classroom and a free meal card for the cafeteria! I won't lose!"
So that's it. To save money for lunch, Shirogane Miyuki wants the free meal card for the cafeteria (one year).
"Don't you make your own bento... What do you need meal tickets for?"
"Occasionally I also want to taste the school cafeteria. After all, this is Shuchiin."
That's true too. Shuchiin's cafeteria cuisine is estimated to be the best in Tokyo. After all, the appetites of these young masters and young ladies are not easily satisfied by ordinary meals.
"And the meal tickets can also be used in the Middle School Division. Even if I don't have time to go to the cafeteria, I can give them to Kei."
While speaking, everyone from Class A also walked into the classroom. The leaders were Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai. Yukinoshita consciously came to Chitanda's side; she should also know about their group of three.
Shinomiya Kaguya smiled slightly. "Although I'm not interested in the winner's prize, as a daughter of the Shinomiya family, I will definitely win!"
Fujiwara Chika nodded vigorously. "Go Kaguya-san, go Hayasaka-san! I'll cheer for you from behind!"
Chitanda Eru raised her pink fist. "Then we won't lose either! Let's do it, Yukino, Ryo-kun!"
Respective teams returned to the cooking stations. Hongo Hayato of Shirogane Miyuki's group sighed heavily, looking at Uchiha Ryo not far away with slightly envious eyes.
"Shirogane-kun, you say we aren't bad either, why is Uchiha-kun so popular?"
Hongo Hayato is also considered an honor student in the top ten of the grade, but... so envious.
Toyosaki Saburo on the other side chuckled. "Hongo, he is first in the grade and all-around in sports, and he looks handsome. If you are thrown into a crowd, besides the Shuchiin uniform being visible, what else is left?"
"You guy! Not arguing with you. By the way, who do you think Uchiha-kun will choose?"
Hongo Hayato looked at Shirogane Miyuki on the spot. "Shirogane, you have the best relationship with Uchiha, and both are in the Student Council. Who do you think he will choose between Chitanda-san and Yukinoshita-san?"
Shirogane Miyuki shook his head. "This is hard for me to say..."
Hongo Hayato rubbed his chin, revealing a serious expression like a detective. "I think it should be Chitanda-san. So gentle to everyone, with a delicate and dignified appearance, most suitable to be a virtuous wife!"
Toyosaki Saburo also said seriously. "Unfortunately, my guess is different from yours. Yukinoshita-san is also excellent, and also a Student Council General Affairs. The two have the same position and must be together every day. An omnipotent cool goddess is the best, okay!"
"What do you know! Cute, gentle, and good figure is the king's way! Although Yukinoshita-san from Class A is also very beautiful, she is flat too obviously."
Hongo Hayato is a firm supporter of the Chitanda x Ryo party. In these times, although flat is also not bad, only big is romance!
"Hey, you two are too impolite. I suggest it's better to shut up and be quiet."
Shirogane Miyuki quietly moved a step away. He vaguely felt a murderous aura. Even knowing that this murderous aura was not directed at him, those sharp eyes still chilled his spine.
However, the owner of these eyes was not the object of discussion. Yukinoshita and Chitanda didn't hear the two's speech. As for Uchiha Ryo, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this group of male classmates who couldn't eat grapes and could only talk trash.
However, a certain Shinomiya family's eldest lady behind him who cared extremely about her figure didn't think so... What's wrong with flat! Who in this world stipulated that big is romance!
Hayasaka Ai tried to comfort Kaguya-sama beside her, then saw the idle Fujiwara Chika, and instantly joined Shinomiya Kaguya's camp.
