Night, gently comforting Far Moon Resort.
A faint ray of light refracted into the deepest part, gradually dispersing the ethereal clouds.
With the end of the last assessment, the remaining 428 students all gathered once again in the lobby of Yueyuan Rimiya Hotel.
The 5-day and 6-night Practical Training activity had already exhausted their bodies and minds.
"I'm going to die!"
"When will this Practical Training end?"
At this moment, in the crowd, Marui Zenji, with heavy dark circles under his eyes and emaciated, said weakly.
"Gathering us here, I guess it's like the first day when they announced the dinner assessment in advance, right?"
Sakaki Ryoko, equally exhausted beside him, murmured helplessly.
"Who knows, anyway, I wouldn't participate in this Practical Training again even if you killed me."
Yoshino Yuki, recalling everything she had experienced these past few days, couldn't help but shiver all over, her face turning pale.
Just as the panic began to spread, Gin Dojima, the Chef Director, appeared on the stage as he had done several times before.
His expression was unusually serious, and his sharp eyes swept across the room, finding about 400 students present, and he felt satisfied.
"Congratulations to you all."
"You have once again passed the training tasks of the Practical Training."
"In fact, to become a top chef, it mostly depends on yourselves."
"The existence of Totsuki Culinary Academy and us graduates is merely a process of verifying your talent."
"A chef should always be full of confidence, charm, and excitement; only through carefully prepared and highly creative dishes can their meticulous, elegant, and valuable side be reflected, and it is also a greater respect for the diners!"
"Those who perfunctorily deal with any work are simply not worthy of being a chef, let alone a top one."
"This is a truth that this Practical Training can teach you!"
"In short, your future path is still long, there will be many hardships, and many setbacks, but no matter what, tonight, you are all the best students!"
"Therefore, I announce the final stage of the Practical Training."
"We, the Totsuki graduates, will prepare dishes to form a grand celebration, so enjoy yourselves!"
After he finished speaking, the entire hall instantly fell silent, and all the students, who were so tired they barely had the strength to speak, held their breath at this moment.
Finally, they all came back to their senses and cheered with raised hands.
...
"Wow, boo hoo hoo..."
"Megumi, it's great, we're finally done!"
Clinging tightly to Megumi, Yoshino Yuki instantly burst into tears, her tears flowing uncontrollably.
"Yes, it seems to be over."
Megumi was also teary-eyed.
When she first learned that the elimination rate of this Practical Training was 50%, she was so scared that she couldn't sleep that night and could only run to the Izakaya to seek comfort from Sosuke.
Later, when facing Shinomiya Kojiro, she thought it would be completely over.
But she never expected that the salt and vinegar soaking method provided by Sosuke at that time allowed her to successfully restore the freshness of the withered vegetables, and finally, with the improved Rainbow Vegetable Terrine, she moved Shinomiya and successfully passed the assessment!
Recalling this period, she had experienced fear, confusion, helplessness, despair...
But at this moment, the once timid her could now face her life with a smile!
"Megumi, do you think we'll be able to personally taste the dishes of these seniors later?"
Then, Yoshino Yuki wiped away her tears, left Megumi's embrace, and with a hint of excitement in her eyes, asked excitedly.
"Ah?"
"This... it seems so."
Megumi paused, then scratched the back of her head and said.
"Wow, those are the dishes of Totsuki graduates, I never thought I'd be lucky enough to witness and taste them in this lifetime."
Hearing this, Yoshino Yuki couldn't help but rub her hands, appearing even more excited and expectant.
"Hehe, and also, all our Polar Star Dormitory residents have successfully passed the Practical Training, not a single one was left behind."
Sakaki Ryoko's face was beaming with a smile.
For her, seeing all her dorm mates safe and sound was the happiest thing.
"Right, right, right."
"We all passed."
Hearing this, Yoshino Yuki also nodded excitedly.
Finally, led by some staff members, all the students arrived at an even wider hall.
