Around the entire grand hall, there were also some bell-shaped flowers decorating the surroundings, and the two dragons on the eaves were golden-scaled and golden-armored, as if about to soar into the sky!
Looking from afar, it truly could be described as beautifully carved and painted, magnificent and resplendent.
"S-senior, how come you have time to visit the Chinese Cuisine Research Association?"
At this moment, looking at Kobayashi Rindo in front of him, Kuga Terunori, the head of the Research Association, tensed up.
"What? Can't I come?"
Kobayashi Rindo looked at his timid appearance, blinked her bright eyes, and said with a smile.
"No, of course you can come! For someone of your stature, the Second Seat, to grace the Chinese Cuisine Research Association with your presence, it is my honor!" Kuga quickly echoed.
"Alright, no need for pleasantries."
"I came here just to tell you that a wise man submits to circumstances."
Kobayashi Rindo was clearly not interested in such flattery and sternly warned Kuga.
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Kuga's face instantly showed a bewildered expression.
From beginning to end, he had no idea what had happened.
"Do I have to spell it out for you?"
"During this time, you've used various methods, even resorting to coercion, intimidation, and threats to make a group of new students join your Research Association."
"All the Elite Ten clearly see what you're plotting."
"In short, if you continue to act so recklessly, and continue to infringe upon the interests of the other Elite Ten members at Totsuki, someone will definitely seize this opportunity to unite and become your enemy!"
Kobayashi Rindo reminded him.
"You mean some of the Elite Ten have issues with me now?"
"Hmph, I knew it was that four-eyed jerk; he must have long coveted my Eighth Seat position!"
Kuga quickly reacted, wishing he could go out and duel Eizan Etsuya right then.
"Don't guess wildly; anyway, my words are here. How you choose to act is your own business."
"Senior, how could I not listen to your words?"
"Since you've warned me like this, I'll definitely rein myself in for a while and absolutely won't let the situation escalate to a point where even you can't handle it."
Kuga knew that some things indeed couldn't be played too excessively, so he quickly showed a faint smile and promised in response.
"Mm, take care."
Seeing that he seemed to understand, Kobayashi Rindo nodded with satisfaction.
Just as she stood up to leave, Kuga hastily called out, "Senior, since you're already here, why don't I make some dishes to treat you?"
"It would also be a good opportunity for you to analyze where my cooking falls short?"
"Kuga, I have to say, among all the Elite Ten, you understand my thoughts the best!"
As a big eater, Kobayashi Rindo was indeed easily swayed in this regard; as soon as she heard there was food to taste, she really didn't want to leave.
"Then please wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen now."
