The Ninth Life Realm courtyard, defense barrier.
The bustling students and teachers suddenly fell silent.
“Look, it's the Totsuki Ten, they're all here!”
“And the Totsuki Disciplinary Committee, they're all Gourmet Hunters from the Hunter Division, they're all at least Bronze level Gourmet Hunters.”
“As the third-ranking member, Fukiyo Miyuki, who leads the Disciplinary Committee, is incredibly strong.”
“They say Saito Soma is close to Golden level Gourmet Hunter, but Miyuki is almost there too.”
“Crap, the Totsuki Ten are coming in strong, they're not going to be kind to the freshmen.”
The Totsuki students exclaimed in alarm.
Fukiyo Miyuki and Saito Soma didn't say anything, they simply led the members of the Disciplinary Committee, blocking the iron gate of the defense barrier.
Momo Akizuki's face changed slightly, she quickly got up, hugged her teddy bear, and came to Ryūtan Kobayashi's side.
“Ryūtan Kobayashi, what are they doing?”
Ryūtan Kobayashi's face was a bit serious, she wasn't even in the mood to eat snacks, she shook her head and said in a low voice: “Hong Yi is in big trouble.”
“Trouble?”
“What do we do then…”
Momo Akizuki bit the bear's ear and looked at the backs of the Disciplinary Committee members.
Without exception, they were wearing the Totsuki Academy uniform, with a cloak with the words "Disciplinary" printed on it draped over their shoulders, and they had various types of acupuncture needles and tranquilizer guns inserted in their waists.
It seemed like they were going to subdue Hong Yi with acupuncture and tranquilizers.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
At this time.
Behind the defense barrier of the Ninth Life Realm courtyard, there was a deafening sound, and the ground trembled slightly.
It was like some giant was walking, approaching this impenetrable wall.
“Rumble…”
The iron gate of the defense barrier slowly opened.
A long, sturdy figure appeared in the yellow sand and smoke.
“This Rainbow Fruit is really heavy, one weighs a ton.”
Hong Yi lifted the giant Rainbow Fruit with both hands, walked through the defense barrier, and left the Ninth Life Realm courtyard.
When he saw Fukiyo Miyuki, Saito Soma, and the Disciplinary Committee members, he didn't panic, his expression was calm, and even a mocking smile appeared on his lips: “Well, quite the scene, so many people are here to greet me?”
“Hong Yi!”
Fukiyo Miyuki, with a strong face and a serious expression, shouted: “We're not joking with you.”
“Joking?”
The smile on Hong Yi's face gradually disappeared, he put down the Rainbow Fruit, looked at Fukiyo Miyuki and Saito Soma, snorted coldly: “I'm not joking with you either!”
Saito Soma closed his eyes slightly, frowned, and the arms holding the big sword had one hand already on the hilt.
“Fukiyo Miyuki, why bother with words, he committed such a crime, arrest him first!”
Hong Yi chuckled: “Saito Soma, what are you talking about?”
“I ask, what crime have I committed?!”
Fukiyo Miyuki was furious, pointing at the image on the big screen, he replied: “You killed the ninth-ranking member, Eizan Shintaro, in broad daylight, is that not a crime?”
“Disciplinary Committee, arrest Hong Yi, send him to the Gourmet Prison – Beehive Prison!”
The Disciplinary Committee members took out the acupuncture needles and tranquilizer guns from their waists and prepared to strike.
Hong Yi suddenly shouted: “Stop!”
Along with the deafening voice, there was Hong Yi's intimidation.
The Disciplinary Committee members looked up and felt like they were collectively hallucinating, they saw a terrifying and mighty red-haired demon rising behind Hong Yi, emanating a terrifying aura, like crimson tentacles, eroding the surrounding space.
This fear.
Came from the depths of their souls.
It was like a natural enemy's suppression engraved in their DNA.
They were frozen in place, unable to move.
Just by his aura, he suppressed the entire Disciplinary Committee?
Fukiyo Miyuki and Saito Soma were shocked.
Hong Yi continued: “First, the ninth-ranking member of the Ten is me, not Eizan Shintaro.”
He casually threw the metal bird head of the GT Robot, which he had been carrying on his waist, to the ground.
The metal bird head rolled like a ball, “clattering” to Fukiyo Miyuki's toes.
Thinking about how the metal bird head of the GT Robot could shoot killing beams and had killed Eizan Shintaro, Fukiyo Miyuki subconsciously took a step back.
Hong Yi explained expressionlessly: “This is a remote-controlled robot from Gourmet Corp, controlled by a third party, Eizan Shintaro cheated in the sacred Food Wars, openly breaking the traditions of Totsuki Academy, should he be killed?”
“Gourmet…Gourmet Corp…”
“That strange birdman machine, it's a robot from Gourmet Corp?”
“Damn, how did Eizan Shintaro get involved with Gourmet Corp, they're on the blacklist, the enemy organization of IGO.”
“If what Hong Yi said is true, Eizan Shintaro did cheat.”
“Food Wars are the foundation of our Totsuki Academy, a tradition that has lasted for hundreds of years, so they must be fair and just.”
“The moment Eizan Shintaro used the robot, it means he cheated, automatically losing the Food Wars, so the freshman is truly the ninth-ranking member of the Ten.”
“Becoming a Totsuki Ten just after entering the academy, that's too badass, right?”
The students and teachers, who had been silent under the heavy atmosphere, suddenly erupted in discussion, whispering to each other.
Saito Soma released his hand from the hilt of the sword, frowned and replied: “Even if he cheated, he didn't deserve to die.”
“Good!”
Hong Yi laughed, and asked again: “Eizan Shintaro colluded with Gourmet Corp, should he be killed!”
Gourmet Corp.
The greatest dark force in the Gourmet Age.
It was blacklisted by hundreds of countries and regions around the world, its members were all heavily convicted criminals on the wanted list.
Colluding with Gourmet Corp, Eizan Shintaro would not only be thrown into Gourmet Prison, but the entire Totsuki Ten would have to be investigated by IGO!
The students and teachers were wary of the three words “Gourmet Corp,” not daring to have anything to do with it.
“Eizan Shintaro colluding with Gourmet Corp, that alone is enough to get him on the IGO wanted list.”
“Hong Yi killed him, not only is he not guilty, but he's actually done a good deed.”
“I couldn't stand Eizan Shintaro's behavior and attitude for a long time, I heard that he secretly controlled many restaurants with various shady means, collecting high protection fees.”
“I didn't expect that Eizan Shintaro was actually a dog of Gourmet Corp, now everyone wants to distance themselves from him.”
Hearing the noisy discussions, Fukiyo Miyuki's face became even uglier.
He didn't expect.
Public opinion had instantly turned!
Originally, he came to demand justice, but now it's good, he has to find a way to distance himself from Eizan Shintaro.
Fukiyo Miyuki said in a low voice: “Eizan Shintaro might have been…used by Gourmet Corp?”
“Oh, you're speaking up for Eizan Shintaro?”
A mocking smile appeared on Hong Yi's lips, his voice suddenly changed: “Then I have reason to suspect you're a Gourmet Corp spy planted in Totsuki!”
“Disciplinary Committee, what are you waiting for!”
Fukiyo Miyuki's face changed instantly after being reprimanded by Hong Yi.
