At first.
The simple Mitsuho Ikume didn't realize what Hong Yi was talking about.
Until Hong Yi pulled her back to the wooden hut.
One hour later.
Mitsuho Ikume raised her head, swallowed the milk, gave Hong Yi a half-shy, half-reproachful glance.
“Damn partner, the meat dishes I’m good at are not this!”
“But my senior sister’s cooking skills are indeed superb.”
“Worthy of my meat-loving senior sister!”
Hong Yi held Mitsuho Ikume’s pretty face, his deep, dark brown eyes fixed on her, and he said earnestly.
The innocent Mitsuho Ikume’s heart blossomed immediately.
Hong Yi’s mouth, which was like a honey pot, coaxed her around and around.
【Congratulations host, Mitsuho Ikume’s favorability +5 points!】
【Mitsuho Ikume’s current favorability: 100 points!】
A system prompt sounded in Hong Yi’s mind.
“Favorability is full?”
Hong Yi was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly.
He simply and easily brushed Mitsuho Ikume’s favorability to full.
“She really is such a simple and straightforward senior sister.”
Hong Yi chuckled in his heart.
He also liked Mitsuho Ikume very much.
【Congratulations host, your favorability with Mitsuho Ikume is full, unlocking the next partner!】
【Current mission target:薙切绘里奈】
【Mission content: Invite薙切绘里奈to become your partner】
【Mission reward: Devour the Stars Art】
【Devour the Stars Art: A top-notch cultivation art that can be practiced to the highest level, opening up a universe of your own!】
【Devour the Stars Art Realm Division: Warrior Level, Warlord Level, War God Level, Planetary Level, Star Level, Universe Level, Domain Master Level, World Master Level, Immortal Level, Universe Venerable, Universe Master, True God… God King!】
“It’s actually the Devour the Stars Art reward!”
Hong Yi’s heart immediately burned with passion.
As the system introduced, this was a top-notch art, even in the countless worlds.
It can be cultivated to the God King realm, opening up a universe completely belonging to oneself!
With such a cultivation art.
Not to mention the dangerous world of food.
Even if entering the universe, or even being in the Dragon Ball world with explosive combat power, there would be nothing to fear, and one could push forward invincible!
“薙切绘里奈, it seems I have to invite her to be my partner.”
“But for a queen-like tsundere, I must not take the initiative to strike up a conversation, I must arouse her curiosity and make her stick to me.”
Hong Yi thought to himself.
He’s not in a hurry to invite薙切绘里奈.
On the one hand, haste makes waste.
Being too proactive would be a low move, and he could easily become a puppy dog at her feet.
On the other hand, with the template of Yūjirō Hanma, his early strength was enough.
According to the realm division of the Devour the Stars Art given by the system, Yūjirō Hanma, this “monster,” had the strength equivalent to an early War God.
As long as he fully integrated the template of Yūjirō Hanma, most of the ingredients in the human world could be easily captured.
With that in mind.
Hong Yi put aside his distracting thoughts and pressed on, continuing to discuss cooking with Mitsuho Ikume.
…
Totsuki Academy, Ten Masters Council.
A pure gold and silver【Totsuki】 school badge was hung high on the wall.
At the long table sat the ten most outstanding cooks in Totsuki Academy - the Ten Masters.
In Totsuki Academy, where students manage themselves.
The Ten Masters, according to the order of their seats, held various powers, and were given powers equal to or higher than the academy’s Headmaster.
They made decisions about various matters within the academy through discussion and deliberation, and they could even decide to replace the Headmaster (Principal).
Now.
The Ten Masters gathered in the conference room, holding a council meeting.
A long table was filled with ten young men and women.
“That…”
A boy with brown and gold hair, raised two fingers, and asked first: “So the entrance exam just ended, and you called us here, what’s it about?”
Eighth Seat - Kūga Terunori!
A boy with pink hair, wearing an apron, with his hands crossed and his elbows resting on the table, answered: “It seems it’s about the new student who captured the Galapagos Crocodile in the entrance exam.”
Seventh Seat - Isshiki Satoshi!
A burly young man, wearing a knitted hat, looked at Isshiki Satoshi and said in a deep voice: “Isshiki Satoshi, can you please wear your school uniform when you attend the Ten Masters Council, at least… normal clothes will do.”
“Don’t run around naked in an apron, it will affect the students’ evaluation and impression of the Ten Masters!”
Third Seat - Nakiri Azami!
“I’m not naked, Nakiri Azami-senpai!”
Saying that.
Isshiki Satoshi put the index finger of his left hand on his forehead, raised his pink apron with his right hand, revealing his white boxer shorts.
Nakiri Azami:：“……”
Other Ten Masters:：“……”
“Damn it, I’ll kick this pervert out of the Ten Masters sooner or later!”
A girl with round glasses, blue hair in a braid, red eyes, and the aura of a literary girl, gritted her teeth.
Sixth Seat - Kinokuni Nene!
A young man with square rimless glasses, with his hair combed back, pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice: “Isn’t the purpose of this council meeting about the black-haired new student’s identity?”
“It seems he is not a new student of our school, but he passed the entrance exam.”
“The Headmaster’s meaning is that we, the Ten Masters, should discuss whether or not to formally admit him.”
The young man, the rimless glasses reflecting a bright light, had a few strands of hair falling on his forehead, a metal necklace around his neck, a white short-sleeved jacket over a leopard-print shirt, and a mixture of the air of a cultured beast and a debt collector, intertwined.
Ninth Seat - Ryōzanji Shizukuya!
“Is it necessary to recruit a student of unknown origin?”
A man who had been silent all this time, tall, wearing earrings, a horizontal scar across his bridge of the nose, a large sword on his shoulder, habitually wearing his uniform jacket over his shoulder, not wearing a tie, and with a black strand of hair in the middle of his head, finally spoke.
Fifth Seat - Saitō Sōmei!
A girl with blood-red long hair, her bangs covering her left eye, with golden eyes and unusually sharp canines, holding a bag of snacks, constantly throwing them into her mouth, and making “click,” “crunching” sounds in the solemn council meeting.
Second Seat - Kobayashi Rindo!
Saitō Sōmei closed his eyes slightly, turned to look at Kobayashi Rindo, who was wearing a JK school uniform, her white shirt bulging, and with proud peaks.
“What do you think?”
Kobayashi Rindo grinned, revealing a sharp canine, raised her chin, one golden eye flashing with an inexplicable light.
“I think we can recruit him!”
She stuck out her tongue, licked her sharp canine, like a female she-wolf eyeing a little bunny.
“I want to find a partner for this junior with unlimited potential~!”
