When the first round of exams began, Hoshino Sora's mind also heard the system's prompt sound. With the addition of 100,000 reputation points, his reputation points once again broke through the 300,000 mark.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Hoshino Sora, who suddenly froze and slowed his pace while walking, Erina Nakiri stopped and asked suspiciously.
"Nothing, do you have any idea about the assessment you're about to take?"
Shaking his head, Hoshino Sora quickly changed the subject.
"WGO probably won't let me pass the assessment so easily. I guess my assessment should be a cooking duel with those who have been eliminated, after all, no one has notified me to participate in the assessment yet."
Turning sideways and leaning on the railing, with live broadcast screens of various competition venues in front of her, Erina Nakiri said softly. Besides this, she really couldn't think of any other assessment methods.
"If that's the case, besides being tiring, there shouldn't be any difficulty. But for you now, even if you face hundreds of challenges at the same time, it shouldn't consume too much stamina."
"All of this is Hoshino-kun's credit."
His palm naturally stroked Erina Nakiri's head, his fingertips tracing down her hair, a soft sensation emanating from it. Erina also intimately rubbed her head against him, a comfortable expression on her face. This was something the two of them often did privately.
"The assessment has begun. Is this a live broadcast of Soma Yukihira's assessment venue? The judge is an old man, and the theme is 'The Last Supper'. It seems he's also a former Noir member."
"It should be. When we came in, the assessment list showed that they weren't in the same examination venue."
Looking at the screen in front of him, Hoshino Sora's eyes showed a hint of surprise. The screen showed many chefs, including Yukihira Soma. Besides Yukihira Soma and Lei Yuhang, everyone else was frantically asking questions to the old man who was the assessor.
Theme: The Last Supper
Assessor: Former Noir Chef (Currently hospitalized, brought to BLUE as a judge)
Hoshino Sora did not pay too much attention to the scene on the screen at this moment.
At this moment, he was gently twitching his nose, a faint fragrance emanating from Erina Nakiri's body. This was a complex fragrance.
Knowing that she didn't have a habit of wearing perfume, this was undoubtedly Erina's natural scent, and it was also his favorite smell. Every time they were alone, he would inhale her scent like a cat, and although Erina didn't particularly like it, she never refused and would instead show an expression that could be easily misunderstood.
"You two actually have the leisure to be so lovey-dovey here. Your feelings are truly good."
With a hint of sarcasm in his words, Saiba Asahi's expression twitched slightly as he watched Hoshino Sora embrace Erina Nakiri from behind. There were many things in his heart that he didn't know how to express at this moment.
If Hoshino Sora and Erina were in the ambiguous stage, he could have said something like marrying Erina. But they had already passed the ambiguous stage and were officially dating, and they were still so affectionate...
He could only keep those words to himself, but holding them in for a long time made him feel frustrated, so he came out to get some fresh air before the competition started, only to see this scene before him.
