"French cuisine exam?"
Satou was stunned for a moment, but then remembered that this semester did seem to be ending soon.
"Mm, according to our experience in middle school, during the last class, the Instructor will conduct a concentrated assessment of the students as a summary. French cuisine finishes the earliest this semester, and today is the last class."
Tadokoro Megumi's face was a little pale, clearly uneasy about the upcoming exam.
At this moment, many more students entered from outside the classroom. They were all students from other classes taught by Chapel. Satou saw Erina Nakiri, Alice Nakiri, and even third-year Senior Kobayashi and Eishi Tsukasa among them.
Besides the first-year students, as the head of the French cuisine department, Chapel was also responsible for teaching some classes in the second and third years.
Today was the last class, so he simply gathered all the classes he taught together.
When Alice Nakiri saw Satou, she winked at him, revealing a playful smile.
Satou was a little helpless and also greeted her.
The last to enter was Chapel, the head of the French cuisine department. He walked to the podium and looked around.
The classroom immediately became quiet.
Chapel cleared his throat and said sternly, "There were fewer French cuisine classes this semester, so today is the last one. I think everyone knows what we're going to do in this class."
"In this class, please use everything you've learned to create a dish as a summary of the knowledge you've gained this semester. I will grade you according to your skill level. Your credits for this semester will be calculated based on the final assessment score and your usual grades."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the classroom's expressions changed instantly, feeling immense pressure.
"Then, please work with your usual group partners to create a dish. The dish must be French cuisine, the time limit is three hours, and you must bring your own ingredients, or you can choose from the readily available ingredients in the classroom."
Chapel glanced at his watch and said indifferently, "There are still ten minutes until the class officially begins. You can start preparing."
As soon as he finished speaking, many people in the classroom rushed out to prepare the ingredients or seasonings needed for the exam.
Because this time the dish format was French cuisine and no specific ingredient was designated, rare ingredients like snails and matsutake mushrooms were not prepared in the classroom.
Moreover, the preparation of ingredients was also part of the test for the students.
Upon hearing that it was still a two-person partnership, Tadokoro Megumi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she could rely on Satou.
"Satou, are your ingredients ready?"
At this moment, Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri walked over and asked.
"Not yet."
Satou shook his head and asked, "What about you?"
"They're ready. We plan to make a dish using that egg."
Erina Nakiri said.
Their relationship was already more than just intimate, so she usually just took and used those ingredients directly. In her opinion, it was only a matter of time before they got married anyway.
"I used the beef I took last time."
Alice Nakiri said. Of course, she didn't stand on ceremony with Satou either, and took a lot of beef when she left.
"Eh? Miss Erina, aren't you hot with that scarf around you?"
Tadokoro Megumi asked in surprise.
Erina Nakiri's face immediately flushed red as she said, "I'm not hot."
"By the way, why don't we try that?"
Satou's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking of something, and he said, "I'll go out for a bit."
Then, he walked out of the classroom and went to his research club, taking out a Western Pear Bread.
He had bought it yesterday from the Fantasy Ingredients Illustrated Book.
Although Western Pear Bread tasted much better than ordinary bread, it was actually a natural fruit with culinary properties.
Satou had long wanted to try using it to make a dish. He had originally planned to experiment in the afternoon, but decided to bring it out now.
When he returned to the classroom with the Western Pear Bread, Alice Nakiri suddenly let out a soft sound of surprise, "Isn't this that bread from last time?"
"Eh? Alice, how do you know?"
Erina Nakiri looked at her strangely and asked.
It seemed Satou had only let her eat this bread, right?
Alice Nakiri's heart skipped a beat. Knowing she had said the wrong thing, she quickly said, "Oh, Satou mentioned it to me last time…"
"Really?"
Erina Nakiri glanced at her but didn't think much of it.
"Satou, what is this? What a beautiful bread."
Tadokoro Megumi asked in surprise.
"This is actually a natural fruit similar to breadfruit."
Satou explained.
"So, you're planning to use it to make a dish? The difficulty is not ordinary."
Erina Nakiri said with a frown.
Because Western Pear Bread itself was already delicious enough, there was no need to cook it.
An ordinary chef cooking it would only lower its deliciousness. Wanting to make it even more delicious was a great test for a chef.
It could be said that whether one could cook Western Pear Bread was a touchstone for a chef's ability in desserts.
"Mm, I originally wanted to try it as a test for myself."
Satou nodded and said.
At Chunguo Pavilion, Kikuchi Sonoka had imparted all her understanding of Western cuisine. Under the meticulous guidance of this former Second Seat, Satou's skill in Western cuisine also progressed rapidly.
That's why he wanted to complete the challenge of Western Pear Bread, to see how his skill in this area had progressed.
"Oh, what's this?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out beside them.
Satou turned his head and saw Eishi Tsukasa squatting on the kitchen counter in a very unrefined manner, curiously looking at the Western Pear Bread.
"Tsukasa-senpai."
Everyone was startled, and even Erina Nakiri became much more respectful, because this was truly the undisputed number one at Far Moon.
"Oh, this is…"
Just as Satou was about to explain something, he heard someone cry out in anger.
"Satou, you heartless man!"
Kobayashi Rindo continuously pounded Satou with her small pink fists, crying, "You clearly said there were no special ingredients left, but I didn't expect you to lie to me. You're too much, deceiving my feelings."
