Yuuki's series of actions left everyone in the kitchen completely stunned. In fact, because he worked so fast, the other chefs responsible for menial tasks soon found themselves with nothing to do.
It reached a point where the chefs responsible for cooking were swamped, while the support staff were quite idle. If it weren't a kitchen and working hours, they might have just pulled out a deck of cards.
"Should I say, as expected of a sense of touch comparable to the God's Tongue? Processing ingredients so precisely is one thing, but this speed is also terrifyingly fast!"
That evening, Gin Dojima couldn't help but praise Yuuki, who was beside him. He realized he had still underestimated Yuuki's special ability—and Yuuki himself.
"After all, any work involving skin contact is easy. But today's gains were also substantial; I learned quite a few small tricks for processing ingredients."
Yuuki said with a smile.
It's like they say, you can learn something from everyone. Even though these chefs handling prep weren't exactly Michelin-starred, everyone had their own strengths.
The same applied to ingredient processing. Due to handling these ingredients for extended periods, they had their own techniques, most of which they shared with Yuuki.
Although some held back secrets, in Yuuki's eyes, holding back was useless. While he didn't have Super Vision to instantly copy their techniques—
—Food Honor had a similar effect. With his own fundamentals as a base, plus Food Honor, as long as it wasn't too far beyond him, copying these techniques was easy for him.
After all, in his perception, their movements were like they were slowed down several times—kind of like how Spider-Man sees an opponent's punch coming in slow motion.
On one hand, slow motion; on the other, direct analysis. Under such conditions, it would be stranger if Yuuki 'couldn't' learn.
Furthermore, after learning these techniques, Yuuki could adjust them according to his own situation, quickly optimizing them into the most suitable techniques for himself.
That was Food Honor—
Yuuki even felt that as long as he accumulated enough, he might even be able to learn the secret techniques from the world of Cooking Master Boy through Food Honor.
Of course, this was just a thought. While there was such a possibility, Yuuki couldn't do it yet; his accumulation wasn't sufficient.
For the next day or two, Gin Dojima didn't assign Yuuki any other work. After all, Soe Nakiri and his group were arriving soon, so it was fine for Yuuki to continue learning this way.
Yuuki was happy to do so.
Although Food Honor was very powerful and allowed him to learn these techniques quickly, it still took time to perfectly convert them into his own.
Food Honor only provided a shortcut; it didn't just let Yuuki instantly reach the pinnacle.
Moreover, relying on such practical experience could also continuously improve Yuuki's understanding of Food Honor. The improvement of Food Honor was undoubtedly fastest through such practical application.
And because of his series of impressive feats, Yuuki had earned the respect of everyone in the kitchen—even admiration from quite a few.
"Yuuki, let me introduce you. This is Soe Nakiri, the head of Nakiri International. Beside him is his daughter, Alice Nakiri, and Alice's attendant, Ryo Kurokiba. They will also be your classmates later on..."
After Soe Nakiri and his group arrived, Gin Dojima introduced the people there to Yuuki, and also introduced Yuuki to Soe Nakiri and his party.
In fact, both sides knew a fair bit about each other. Yuuki had read the manga, so he naturally knew who these people were. Soe Nakiri and the others had also read Yuuki's file, so they were naturally very clear as well.
However, the necessary introductions were unavoidable.
Yuuki greeted them politely, and then everyone got down to business.
"Mr. Nakiri came this time because of your special ability. Although we tested it before, it was only a simple test. So, this kind of work still needs to be handed over to professionals."
"After the test, Mr. Nakiri will also formulate some plans based on your situation to help you develop your special ability," Gin Dojima said.
Although he and Soe Nakiri knew each other, they weren't very familiar. After all, Soe Nakiri had always been managing Nakiri International abroad. Comparatively, Gin Dojima was more familiar with Soe Nakiri's wife, Leonora Nakiri.
Of course, this wasn't to say Gin Dojima was interested in another man's wife. Although Leonora Nakiri was a big shot at Nakiri International, she spent more time in Japan. So, Gin Dojima had interacted with her quite a few times and was thus relatively familiar.
"That's right, just as Head Chef Dojima said. Although we can't claim to be overly professional, we should still be able to provide some help," Soe Nakiri said. As he spoke, the group walked towards the newly prepared testing site.
"Hello! I'm Alice Nakiri. Mr. Dojima introduced me just now. It's nice to meet you!"
On the way, Alice Nakiri proactively greeted Yuuki.
"I'm Yuuki."
Yuuki looked at Alice Nakiri. It had to be said, Alice Nakiri's looks were undeniably striking—that combination of silvery-white hair and ruby-red eyes had a serious impact, no doubt about it.
Although Alice Nakiri's hair color was strictly speaking a bit light pink, it was mostly white.
After a simple exchange, Alice Nakiri became quite talkative. It had to be said, Alice's personality was indeed quite cheerful and chatty.
Yuuki wasn't very talkative around strangers; he only spoke more when with familiar people.
But now, he was also drawn in by Alice Nakiri.
Soe Nakiri, at the side, secretly nodded upon seeing this. There should be no problem with his daughter getting closer to him.
As for Ryo Kurokiba, who was also at the side, although he was also staring at Yuuki, it wasn't the look of someone sizing up a love rival, but pure fighting spirit—he wanted to compete with Yuuki.
Soon, the group arrived at the new testing site. This time, the tests were more comprehensive. Besides testing his special ability, they would also test the specifics of Yuuki's culinary skills.
Knowing that Yuuki's Inferno ability was immensely destructive, this test was simply conducted outdoors.
The special ability test was similar to before. Yuuki demonstrated his super sense of touch and terrifying Inferno in front of everyone.
The sense of touch aspect was manageable, but when the Inferno ability was displayed, everyone was terrified, even Gin Dojima, who had witnessed it before.
"Even though it's not the first time I've seen it, this ability still scares the hell out of me!" Gin Dojima couldn't help but say, looking at the rising flames and Yuuki, who was enveloped in high-temperature steam.
"It truly is an extraordinary ability!" Soe Nakiri nodded in solemn agreement.
