Just as the Izakaya was closing for the night,
the dinner test at Far Moon Resort was also nearing its end!
Yoshino Yuki, returning to her room from the kitchen, was already half-dead from a full day of Practical Training content, collapsing onto the bed, too exhausted to even move a finger.
"I'm so tired. I definitely won't make it to the end. This Practical Training event is simply terrifying," Yoshino Yuki murmured weakly.
"The three of us are still relatively good; at least we could finish 15 minutes early."
"I heard Marui Zenji barely managed to complete 50 steak dinner sets in the last few seconds."
"And after completing the dinner test, he even frothed at the mouth and fainted directly in the kitchen, causing quite a commotion! In his state, he'll probably have a tough time even tomorrow," Sakaki Ryoko said, looking equally tired.
"Really? Is that true?"
"Then he… never mind, I hope he fends for himself."
Learning that someone was even worse off than her, Yoshino couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Then, she used her last bit of strength to get up from the bed and looked at Tadokoro Megumi: "Megumi, you're really a surprise!"
"Tonight's test of 50 steak dinner sets, you actually finished nearly half a minute faster than Sakaki Ryoko and me."
"This… maybe I was just lucky?" Tadokoro Megumi scratched the back of her head and chuckled softly.
"Lucky?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?" Yoshino Yuki raised an eyebrow, seemingly understanding, and added, "Honestly, lately I've felt that your cooking skills have improved quite a bit!"
"Is that so? Maybe it's your imagination," Tadokoro Megumi said, her cheeks slightly flushed, not believing she had improved as Yoshino claimed.
"Never mind, never mind. At least everyone is safe tonight."
Yoshino Yuki couldn't help but yawn, then stretched and said, "I'm so tired my bones feel like they're falling apart. We have new Practical Training activities tomorrow morning, so let's all go to bed early!"
With that, she lay back down on the bed, pulled the covers over herself, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
"Mm!"
"Good night!"
Seeing this, Tadokoro Megumi and Sakaki Ryoko also lay down and fell asleep.
…
The next morning, in the first kitchen.
The new students gathered there had faces full of fear and panic.
Because the entire Practical Training event was 6 days and 5 nights, and it was only the second day, they would have the opportunity to meet every examiner.
But when truly facing Shinomiya Kojiro, they clearly weren't mentally prepared.
"What's going on?"
"Why… why is it him?"
"Oh no, we're doomed. I heard that in a lunch test he supervised yesterday, nearly half the students were eliminated by him."
"Hiss, an average elimination rate of 20% is already scary enough, but his elimination rate is as high as 50%?"
"How terrifying!"
"Thinking about what happened to that student with the hair gel, I've truly sinned!"
"It's so scary, Mom, I want to go home."
