"Are you kidding me? Not only is his French cuisine so strong, but his dessert skills are also that high?"

"He defeated Eishi Tsukasa with the same dish, and now he can crush Momo Akanekubo in desserts?"

"No way!"

On the stage of the Shokugeki, when the second theme was [Dessert], Totsuki's Fourth Seat, Momo Akanekubo, faced the challenge. She encountered the same problem as Eishi Tsukasa. In her specialty cuisine, she was defeated by the opponent. This was unacceptable to all the Totsuki students in the audience; the situation was simply too outlandish.

Eishi Tsukasa lost to Renz in French cuisine. Momo Akanekubo lost to Renz in dessert cuisine. Where did this person come from? What kind of monster was this? The Totsuki Elite Ten each had their specialized areas, so how could one person master so many types of cuisine? Moreover, French cuisine and Chinese cuisine were broad categories, while desserts were a niche. People who liked desserts would love them, while those who didn't wouldn't touch them. That Renz also excelled in such a niche culinary theme was truly something the Totsuki students had never expected.

French cuisine was, after all, the mainstream in Europe. Chinese cuisine was also the mainstream in Chinese cuisine. It was still within acceptable bounds for someone to master both cuisines. But now, Renz revealed his mastery of desserts, which went beyond everyone's imagination. Admittedly, a powerful chef would know how to make many types of dishes; Eishi Tsukasa also made desserts. However, Eishi Tsukasa's skill in desserts was definitely no match for Momo Akanekubo.

Momo Akanekubo, no matter what, was a specialist in desserts! A professional dessert chef! Was this guy here to crash the party?

The First Seat and the Fourth Seat losing to the opponent in their strongest fields was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Totsuki Academy.

"9.7, 9.8, 9.7. Although not as terrifying as the three 10-point evaluations for the previous dish, this score is still hard for others to achieve, right?"

"Momo Akanekubo was also completely crushed."

"Is this really not a joke?"

Erina listened to the whispers of her classmates around her and felt quite helpless. Renz's performance in this round actually wasn't his best. She could still tell that Renz's hands were "clumsy," not flexible enough. It was probably because he hadn't made desserts in a long time. Desserts were a major consumer in their household. Erina herself was quite fond of desserts, and her two daughters, Rina Nakiri and Mirai Nakiri, also loved eating them.

Given the demands of the three women in his family, it was impossible for Renz's dessert skills to be low. However, it was a pity. Renz seemingly hadn't made desserts in a while; his children and wife hadn't requested many desserts recently, which probably made his hands rusty. Erina still regretted that he didn't get three 10-point scores.

"Renz... is he that amazing?" Hisako Arato felt a mental shock. She thought Renz was a Filipino exchange student, and since his ramen was so good, he must specialize in Asian region cuisine. She assumed Asian region cuisine would be Renz's strong suit. But who would have known that besides Asian region cuisine, Renz could also score high in French cuisine and desserts? He even defeated Eishi Tsukasa and Momo Akanekubo. These were the Totsuki Elite Ten!

They represented the ten strongest active chefs at Totsuki Academy, and Eishi Tsukasa was Totsuki's First Seat, while Momo Akanekubo was Totsuki's Fourth Seat. Hisako Arato didn't even hold the Tenth Seat position. Her academic performance was only mid-to-upper-tier; her dishes simply couldn't hold their own against Eishi Tsukasa and Momo Akanekubo. And yet, Eishi Tsukasa and Momo Akanekubo were clearly and utterly defeated by Renz in their strongest specialties.

Such skill. He must be at least a Special Grade Chef, right? He seems perfectly capable of participating in world culinary championships! How strong a person is can be seen from their overall strength. Renz's current overall strength was terrifying, like a world-ranked top ten chef coming to a fishing pond to catch fish. The pressure he exerted was so strong that it didn't even seem like a competition on the same level as others.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg," Erina heard Hisako Arato's soft gasp of awe, and her heart felt incredibly gratified. As her husband, wasn't it perfectly normal for him to be strong?

"The tip of the iceberg?!" Hisako Arato was stunned. Such a performance was just the tip of the iceberg?

"This level is, at most, fifty percent of his full potential," Erina said with a pout. Her words were true; Renz was not yet at his best. That state where his body perfectly followed his thoughts. Once he reached that state, Renz could easily maintain his position as the top scorer in the ESPN world rankings for twenty consecutive years, starting from this year.

As long as Renz desired, he could go to the World Championship and claim the title every year. This was Erina's confidence in Renz. Renz was someone who had endured the decades of a "God's Tongue's" pickiness and continuously honed his culinary skills.

Hmph. A friendly match, is it? Totsuki Elite Ten, is it? The Old Man wants to review performance, does he? Renz, keep hitting them hard for your wife, don't hold back at all. Sweep Totsuki Academy, trample these people underfoot. Let the Old Man know how powerful you are, and understand your worth. Wouldn't my marriage then be a foregone conclusion?

"Fifty percent?!" Hisako Arato heard that tone and was somewhat incredulous. Such an effortless shattering of the Totsuki Elite Ten's level, and it was only fifty percent of his power!

Meanwhile, in the center of the competition venue, Director Senzaemon Nakiri, having meticulously tasted Renz's two dishes, already knew that Renz was not on the same level as the other competitors. At his age, to have such mastery in French cuisine and desserts was truly rare. Renz's brilliance completely overshadowed everyone else. There were still many rounds of individual matches left.

However, Senzaemon Nakiri didn't want Renz to continue competing. Two individual matches were already enough to demonstrate Renz's strength. This competition was organized to assess the recent culinary standards of international students and Totsuki students. Letting Renz compete like this would turn the assessment into a personal one-man show. Nevertheless, Senzaemon Nakiri had remembered Renz's name. With such a performance, it was hard for Senzaemon Nakiri not to remember Renz's name.

"For the individual matches, Chef Renz, you don't need to participate anymore. These two rounds have fully demonstrated your abilities," Senzaemon Nakiri said with a smile. He was now thinking about how to keep Renz. Keep Renz at Totsuki Academy. Make him a student of Totsuki Academy. But, with such incredible culinary skills, would he really agree to stay at Totsuki Academy? This sent Senzaemon Nakiri into deep thought.

"Not competing anymore?" Renz asked in surprise. He had been wondering if competing in all individual rounds would be too harsh, and whether he should hold back a bit. He hadn't expected the head judge, the Old Man, to simply stop him. That's fine too. If he kept going, he might traumatize the Totsuki Academy's own people, and that wouldn't be fun. Erina was extremely protective of her own, and if he went too hard, her waist would hurt again.

Senzaemon Nakiri nodded. "The skill you displayed in French cuisine and desserts has already surpassed most chefs, and after two consecutive rounds, you must be somewhat tired, mentally, too, right? There's still a team match later, so it's good to rest."

"In competitions, there's no rule saying a contestant has to compete for multiple rounds consecutively," Senzaemon Nakiri laughed heartily. "Now, let the competition venue be for others. You can go backstage and discuss the team dish you'll be making with Erina."

Senzaemon Nakiri actually wanted Renz to compete for more rounds, but competing in multiple individual rounds consecutively was indeed a test of a chef's mental state. One round might take over half an hour. Continuously competing in individual matches like that would mean cooking for several hours. Cooking formulaic dishes might not be tiring.

However, in competition dishes, contestants had to pour a lot of energy into them. Sometimes, what was called cooking was more like creating works of art for the dining table. If there was a chef specializing in carving, making one dish might exhaust them. Competing for multiple rounds consecutively would be unbearable even for an iron man. Considering this, Senzaemon Nakiri decided to let Renz rest early.

Renz heard these words and walked off the stage.

Erina sat with her legs crossed; there was an empty seat to her left.

"Well done," Erina complimented, subtly, as Renz came down to rest.

"I didn't disgrace you, did I?" Renz replied, matching Erina's tone, and sat down.

"With your skill, it's just a casual effort," Erina said from the side.

"Eishi Tsukasa would be very sad to hear that, you know," Isshiki Satoshi said with a helpless expression from behind Erina. Was that even a human thing to say? Since when did the Totsuki Elite Ten become a unit of measurement for skill? "Casual effort," indeed? Erina then realized that there was another comrade from the Totsuki Elite Ten behind her. Saying such things here was indeed going too far.

"Not at all, it took a little effort," Renz quickly stepped in to cover for Erina's slip of the tongue.

However. Don't forget, Renz was a genius at interviews. Every one of his interviews could lead to problems, precisely because sometimes what he said, while not intentionally mocking, always had a "mocking" undertone.

And yet, Renz had no subjective intention to mock. What was the difference between "casual effort" and "a little effort"? Isshiki Satoshi didn't know where to begin to retort. And the actual answer was: Renz performed normally and won effortlessly.

"By the way, what team dish are you two planning to make later?" Hisako Arato quickly stepped in to save the situation. She! Was the true expert at saving situations. There were countless instances where Erina-sama Nakiri made gaffes; her sharp tongue was renowned throughout Totsuki Academy. Hisako Arato, accustomed to helping Erina-sama save face, was about to step in when she realized that Renz's words were also off. She quickly came to the rescue for these two troublemakers. She changed the subject.

"Team dish?" Renz replied simply, "Haven't thought about it."

"Isn't there a theme, though?" Hisako Arato asked. "Like a Chinese Cuisine or French cuisine theme?"

"What do you want to eat?" Renz asked Hisako Arato.

"I want to eat medicinal cuisine," Hisako Arato thought for a moment and said. She was an expert in medicinal cuisine, having studied Chinese medicinal cuisine from a young age. However, this type of cuisine was even more niche than desserts. Desserts were only liked by those with a sweet tooth. Medicinal cuisine... its position was quite awkward. Few people liked to actively eat medicinal dishes.

"I can make it," Renz also had some research into medicinal cuisine. At that time, he was researching the tastes of various ingredients after neutralization, and later he delved into medicinal herbs, considering which herbs could also be used in cooking. When researching medicinal herbs, he naturally encountered medicinal cuisine. But unfortunately, medicinal dishes have poor visual appeal in competitions and are almost never used for competitive purposes.

"Why don't we make that set meal!" Erina, however, suddenly perked up.

"Which set meal?" Renz didn't understand. Sometimes, things needed to be stated clearly to understand the other person's intention.

"That home-cooked meal!" Erina realized there were many people around and found it hard to say aloud. She quietly leaned in and whispered,

"The parent-child growth set meal we made for Mirai!"

Renz had two sons and two daughters. The third child, his second daughter Mirai Nakiri, was frail and sickly from a young age. Renz actually felt quite guilty about her physical condition. Renz always felt it was his fault for not taking good care of Erina during childbirth. That period was also the time when Renz and Erina argued the most and had the most ideological conflicts.

At the same time, it was also during this period that their past grievances were resolved, and their relationship began to warm up. Renz had a soft spot for Mirai Nakiri; in other words, Renz doted on this daughter the most. She was a precious witness to his and Erina's budding romance, yet also the daughter who caused Renz the most guilt.

Because after Mirai Nakiri was born, Erina entered postpartum depression, and her temper became exceptionally volatile. Mirai Nakiri also saw Erina in that state, which led to her soft personality and being frail and sickly from childhood. Renz and Erina both later felt that they owed Mirai this daughter, so their affection for Mirai had a special emotional attachment.

Speaking of this, Renz suddenly remembered that some of the first medicinal dishes he learned were precisely for nurturing the young and frail Mirai, researched for her physical health. This dish was also the one Renz practiced most diligently and became most proficient at initially. Even the recipe for this dish was something Erina and Renz created together, filling in the gaps. This set meal was also the first collaborative dish Renz and Erina made.

However, it was still the same situation. It was delicious, and the medicinal effects were good, but its visual appeal in competitions was weak, making it unsuitable for a Shokugeki. But from the corner of his eye, Renz subtly saw Erina's eager expression. He nodded gently. Ah, after all, it was his wife's opinion; sometimes, he had to take it. Her happiness was most important.
