In the time that followed, Satou led Miyoko Hojo and the other members of the Rare Ingredients Research Society to defeat three more Research Societies.
The original clubroom was filled with new cooking utensils, various ingredients, and more, all won from other Research Societies.
During classes, students' cooking ingredients were provided by the school, but for daily research and cooking, students had to purchase their own. Most of each Research Society's monthly activity funds were used to buy ingredients or cooking utensils.
"So many spoils of war!"
Tadokoro Megumi and the others were astonished, looking at the dazzling array of spoils in the clubroom.
"Take whatever you want."
Satou said very generously. Anyway, he didn't plan to recruit many people, and so many cooking utensils and ingredients would be wasted just sitting there.
"Wow, so much 5A-grade beef!"
Yuki Yoshino stared at a batch of beef, her mouth practically watering.
"Oh, that's from the Beef Cuisine Research Society. They saved all their activity funds for the past few months to buy this beef, and we ended up benefiting."
Miyoko Hojo couldn't help but laugh as she looked at it.
"It's a new electric kettle! I've wanted to buy one for my dorm for a long time, but I've always been reluctant."
Tadokoro Megumi looked at a brand new electric kettle, her eyes gleaming with desire.
"If you like it, take it."
Satou smiled slightly.
"Eh? Is that really okay? I remember this brand is very expensive."
Tadokoro Megumi hesitated.
"It's fine, what's our relationship? Just take it."
Satou said with a smile.
"Mm."
Tadokoro Megumi's face flushed slightly, and she agreed.
Next, everyone shared many good things. For example, Mimasaka Subaru picked out several high-quality kitchen knives, Miyoko Hojo took a batch of 5A beef, and Tadokoro Megumi and Ryoko Sakaki also took many ingredients and cooking utensils…
After dividing the spoils, everyone gathered together again and had a beef hot pot.
"Satou, please take me with you next time you go 'robbing'—no, when you have a Shokugeki!"
Yuki Yoshino, who had received a lot of "loot," hugged Satou's leg and pleaded.
Satou was speechless for a moment. He had clearly won these things from other Research Societies through legitimate Shokugeki, but in her mouth, it sounded like he was a bandit?
At the same time, the showdowns of the other two Research Societies had also ended.
"The winner is Alice Nakiri of the Molecular Gastronomy Research Society!"
Kawashima Rei announced.
"Damn it, now we don't even have a clubroom that a dog would want to live in?"
Gōda Hayashi Kiyoshi knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
"That's great! Let's keep this momentum going and conquer Far Moon!"
Alice Nakiri was extremely happy, clearly having a lot of fun.
"Oh. Molecular Gastronomy Research Society, sure win."
Behind her, Ryo followed expressionlessly, responding in a flat tone.
After finishing the day's classes, Satou returned to the Tsundere's mansion.
He had won six today, and if he won four more tomorrow, he would complete the task.
That night, Erina Nakiri, unwilling to accept her previous two failures, once again had a cooking match with Satou.
However, unfortunately, Erina Nakiri was defeated again this time.
Satou smiled slightly, picked up the Tsundere in his arms, and walked towards the bedroom.
"Next time, next time I will definitely not lose!"
Erina Nakiri struggled fiercely while shouting loudly.
…
The next day, when Satou arrived at the Far Moon teaching district, he suddenly noticed many people looking at him with awe.
"Hey, did you hear? That transfer student led his subordinates and defeated six Research Societies yesterday!"
"Yes, I heard. Among them were even long-standing Research Societies."
"Now the Rare Ingredients Research Society has become an object of fear for many Research Societies."
The passing students discussed animatedly.
When Satou arrived at his Research Society's clubroom, he found that Miyoko Hojo, Mimasaka Subaru, and others were already there, and even Yuki Yoshino, Tadokoro Megumi, and the others were present.
"Satou, today I will cheer for you, go for it!"
Yuki Yoshino had a headband with the word "Sure Win" tied around her head and had even prepared a banner for cheering.
"That's right, Rare Ingredients Research Society, sure win!"
Ryoko Sakaki was dressed similarly.
Satou was speechless for a moment. These two guys' real intention must be to take advantage of the situation to get some spoils of war, right?
"Heh heh, Satou, you have to do your best today too."
Tadokoro Megumi forced a smile and said.
"Okay. Let's go," Satou nodded.
However, today was clearly more chaotic than yesterday. Besides Satou, other research societies also joined the fray.
The reason was that Satou had won a lot of things from other research societies. Those societies were naturally unwilling to accept this and wanted to win them back from other societies, which triggered a chain reaction.
"Skewer Research Society, do you dare to have a Shokugeki with our Dairy Products Research Society?"
"Do you dare to have a Shokugeki betting on the activity room?"
In the teaching building, such tense voices could be heard everywhere. The original peaceful atmosphere had disappeared, and every research society was on high alert, worried that someone would suddenly come knocking.
"Alright! Today, we must also strive to dominate Far Moon!"
Alice Nakiri also started a new day, holding a small flag and shouting, "Molecular Gastronomy Research Society will win!"
However, she then complained to her follower behind her, "Hey, Ryo-kun, can't you be more energetic? Satou won against six yesterday, so we have to work hard today too!"
"Oh. Molecular Gastronomy Research Society will win!"
Ryo also responded listlessly.
At the same time, Satou led Miyoko Hojo and others to win against three more research societies.
"Great! Building D has been swept—no, challenged! Should we go to another teaching building?"
Yuki Yoshino said excitedly. Behind her, Tadokoro Megumi, Ryoko Sakaki, and others were also holding small flags, acting as a support group.
"Yes."
Satou nodded. As long as he won one more, he could complete the mission.
Afterward, everyone came to another teaching building, but...
"Oh no! The Rare Ingredients Research Society is here! Close the door quickly!"
"Just pretend no one is home!"
Seeing them appear, the people from those research societies immediately changed their expressions, then closed the doors and pretended no one was there.
"Are we that scary now?"
He said, a little helpless.
"Damn it, how spineless! Far Moon doesn't need students like you!"
Yuki Yoshino was also extremely angry; these were all spoils of war!
Just then, a few people arrived at the door of a research society.
"Soba Research Society?"
