【Evaluation: After cultivating the “吞噬星空法” (Devouring the Starry Sky Technique), you successfully condensed Gene Origin Energy within your body. Your body’s maximum heat energy storage has broken through to 3 million kilocalories, leading to a significant increase in strength. You are now comparable to a Gold-tier Gourmet Hunter and can independently hunt and capture Level 30 ingredients. 】
32 tons of punch force!
Approaching the speed of sound!
Looking at the semi-transparent attribute panel before him, Hong Yi’s breath hitched, and an astonishing light burst from his dark brown eyes.
After all.
A fully grown Galar Crocodile, over a hundred years old, would only be around ten tons.
Hong Yi could deliver a punch close to the speed of sound, capable of blasting a fully grown Galar Crocodile to pieces with a single hit.
Even when facing a GT Robot.
He wouldn’t need to activate Ghost Back.
Moreover, with a 3 million kilocalorie energy reserve, Hong Yi could utilize more energy-intensive techniques.
“Can independently hunt and capture Level 30 ingredients…”
Hong Yi stroked his chin with one hand, deep in thought.
He recalled the Demon Snake in the Cave Bay, whose capture level was only in the twenties.
So this meant.
He could already hunt the Blowfish Whale in the Cave Bay.
“Fortunately, the Demon Snake in the Cave Bay is a variant of the Demon Snake of the Gourmet World. Otherwise… hehe, the Demon Snake original species, comparable to the Eight Kings, could drown even a King-tier Gourmet Hunter with a single spit.”
King-tier Gourmet Hunter.
Sounds powerful, practically invincible in the Human World.
But for the perilous Gourmet World, they’ve merely earned their entry ticket.
So far, the only King-tier Gourmet Hunter Hong Yi had encountered was Mansam.
“Continue training, and condense the Star Core within your Dantian soon!”
Hong Yi closed his eyes and resumed his training.
By dusk.
Mito Ikumi returned home from school after finishing her classes, accompanied by her secretary, Niito Hisako.
“Ninth Seat, here is the Gourmet Black Card from the Headmaster.”
“It has 2 billion yen in cash. The password is 123456. You can change the password and create and bind your identity at the Gourmet Bank yourself.”
“Then, here is your Totsuki Academy student ID, uniform, Hunter Division course schedule, and the door card to a detached villa in the dormitory area.”
Even though Nakiri Erina was absent, Niito Hisako was still very organized in her work.
Especially since the other party was her young lady’s partner.
Niito Hisako felt even more respect for Hong Yi, as well as… a bit of curiosity.
After all.
The secretary had once said that the young lady’s partner was also her partner.
“Gourmet Black Card?”
“And they arranged a detached villa for me?”
“Nakiri Senzaemon, that old geezer, how did he suddenly become so enlightened.”
Hong Yi chuckled, sarcastically.
He took the uniform, the Gourmet Black Card, and the villa door card from Niito Hisako, who was holding them with both hands.
The Totsuki Academy male uniform looked no different from the female JK uniform.
The same color scheme.
A blue blazer, white shirt, red striped tie, and suit trousers.
The girls simply swapped the suit trousers for a JK skirt, and the red striped tie for a red striped bowtie.
Niito Hisako took a few furtive glances at Hong Yi and continued to explain earnestly: “Hong-kun, you are the Ninth Seat of the Ten Masters, so I’ll explain the Ten Masters’ privileges.”
“Totsuki Academy is a student-governed school, so the Ten Masters hold significant power.”
“First, the Ten Masters are free to dress as they please, not required to wear the uniform. Second, there are no restrictions on class attendance or credits.”
“Logically, you are a first-year student, but if you are interested in any second-year or third-year classes, you can attend.”
“Additionally, the Headmaster conveyed the message that the Disciplinary Committee Chairman, Namakijima Toufu, has been taken by Director Mansam to the IGO for investigation. The Disciplinary Committee will be managed by you.”
“Disciplinary Committee?”
“Not interested.”
Hong Yi remained indifferent, waving the Gourmet Black Card in his hand.
He didn’t feel anything about Nakiri Senzaemon’s gesture.
Instead, he was more curious and excited about the Hunter Division courses.
Totsuki Academy’s Culinary Division had several major disciplines, including culinary theory, nutrition, public health, cultivation theory, and business management.
However, the Hunter Division, which primarily trained Gourmet Hunters, had a completely different curriculum compared to the Culinary Division.
Hong Yi picked up the course schedule.
It listed courses such as Ingredient Encyclopedia, Nutrition, Acupuncture Anesthesia, Regeneration, Human World Geography, Gourmet Cell, and others.
There was no doubt.
Ingredient Encyclopedia introduced various capture levels of beasts.
Otherwise, when you went out to capture beasts, you couldn’t possibly scan each one with an Ingredient Encyclopedia watch.
Some beasts were incredibly powerful, and they might launch an attack the moment you discovered them.
Acupuncture Anesthesia, as the name suggests, taught acupuncture anesthesia skills.
Hong Yi was very interested in this.
Regeneration.
Responsible for protecting and regenerating various endangered ingredients.
In addition, even if you lost an arm or a leg, you could use ingredients with regenerative abilities to repair them.
These were things you could learn in Regeneration.
If you excelled in Regeneration, you could even become a Regenerator after graduation, instead of becoming a Gourmet Hunter.
You must know.
The renowned Four National Gourmet Treasures, Moyan Shushu, is a Regenerator.
But this fellow was a member of NEO.
Later, the “Four Beasts” that ravaged the Human World seemed to be regenerated by him.
As for the Gourmet Cell course, it was related to Gourmet Cells, as the name implies.
Wait a minute…
Hong Yi seemed to have seen something. He raised the course schedule high, his pupils contracted sharply, then dilated.
There was an explosive symbol next to the Acupuncture Anesthesia course.
Beside it, written in bold, was —
【Legendary Man! Appears!!】
【Anesthesia Master·Jiro!】
“Damn, is it really Gourmet God Acacia’s second disciple, Jiro?”
Hong Yi was so excited that he even swore.
You know.
When he was watching “Toriko”, his favorite characters were IGO Chairman Ichiryu, and this old geezer, Jiro, who didn’t belong to any faction, was already in seclusion and enjoying himself in the Human World, always drunk.
Acacia.
The first person to discover Gourmet Cells, dubbed the “Gourmet God”.
He once shared the main ingredients of the Blue Star’s complete menu — “GOD”, ending the wars that had lasted for years in the Human World, and thus creating the Gourmet Era.
Gourmet God Acacia had three direct disciples:
IGO Chairman — Ichiryu!
Anesthesia Master — Jiro!
Gourmet Guild Boss — Sanji!
Among them, the second disciple, Jiro, was praised as the “Top 3 Strongest in the World” by Daruma Sennin of the Gourmet World!
NEO leader, Dark Cook, Joa, had said that Acacia’s three disciples all possessed the terrifying power to destroy the world, naturally including Jiro.
