Chapter 5
God's Tongue, Erina Nakiri

“Someone capable of suppressing and capturing a level 350 Four Beast’s true form… That Mansam must be at least a King-Class Gourmet Hunter.”

“Plus, he’s a straightforward person who loves drinking. We can become friends.”

Hong Yi’s thoughts raced.

Mansam, clad in an army green tank top and with a muscular physique, strode up the platform.

He looked down at the young boys and girls below.

He first took out a flat metal flask, took a few sips, and indulged his craving for alcohol.

薙切仙左卫门, with his hands tucked into the sleeves of his kimono, scowled and reminded in a low voice: "Mansam, these freshmen are all minors."

“It’s fine, it’s fine.”

Mansam waved his hand, threw back his head and let out a hearty laugh, then said cheerily: “Youngsters!!”

“You were born in the best era—“

“This world has beasts whose entire bodies melt in your mouth and leave a layer of oil on your tongue, trees that bear delicious shrimp and crab meat all year round, and springs that pour out endless, fragrant brandy!”

“And all you need to do is explore the unknown flavors, venture into dangerous places, risk your lives, and capture rare ingredients.”

“As the Director of the IGO Development Bureau, I have only one thing to say to the Gourmet Hunters of the future… Give it your all and complete your own ‘Complete Life Menu’!”

“Oh!!”

Mansam’s speech ignited the blood of the youngsters below.

Maybe the freshmen from the Cooking Division didn’t feel much.

But for those 热血少年 with dreams of becoming Gourmet Hunters, their greatest wish was to complete their own Complete Life Menu!

“What will my Complete Life Menu be?”

Infected by the atmosphere around him, Hong Yi’s thoughts drifted.

Undoubtedly.

The Blue Star’s Complete Menu was the highest level on this planet.

But a high capture level doesn't necessarily mean it's the best.

Like the top-tier fighters, Yilong and Jiro, they could easily capture the Blue Star’s Complete Menu.

But they didn’t choose the Blue Star’s Complete Menu as their own Complete Life Menu.

“Enough of this!”

“You youngsters, the beasts and monsters in the cages in front of you are the ingredients you must capture.”

“Hunt them, and take your first step towards becoming Gourmet Hunters.”

Mansam spoke passionately on the platform.

In a flash.

The atmosphere in the field was instantly ignited.

The freshmen from the Hunter Division, their blood boiling, each chose their prey and then rushed toward the iron cages.

Among them were quite a few freshmen who had their sights set on the White Hair Cinderella Cows, the lowest capture level in the entire field.

“Dumb junior, move it!”

“There are only so many White Hair Cinderella Cows, if someone else gets there first, you’ll miss your chance!”

Outside the field.

Mito Ikumi clenched her fists anxiously.

She wanted to go in and personally capture prey for Hong Yi.

This was her first partner in life, Mito Ikumi didn’t want Hong Yi to fail the entrance exam, be eliminated, and eventually drop out of Totsuki Academy.

Hong Yi didn’t rush to move, instead, he turned his head and looked towards the other half of the field.

There.

Was the Cooking Division’s exam.

The freshmen specializing in cooking were busy cooking, doing their best to create dishes that would satisfy the judges—the Totsuki Ten.

Hong Yi saw a beautiful girl with long, flowing golden hair, wearing the Totsuki Academy uniform, walking casually around the exam field, randomly selecting dishes that interested her.

Apart from her silky golden hair that was like a work of art, she also had a figure that was far beyond her years.

A blue JK blazer outlined her plump fruits and her slender waist, making her even more graceful and charming.

Plus, a pair of smooth black silk stockings covered her long legs.

Combined with her iceberg-like cold aura, it was like the queen’s powerful aura, making this beautiful girl the brightest star in the field of thousands of people.

“The tenth seat of the Totsuki Ten Council, a genius cooking girl with the title of ‘God’s Tongue’—薙切绘里奈.”

Hong Yi’s eyes flickered.

“I wonder if I can invite 薙切绘里奈 to be my partner.”

【Ding, responding to the host, please increase Mito Ikumi’s intimacy level to 100 before inviting your next partner.】

The system answered Hong Yi’s doubts.

“I see, so it’s not just anyone you can invite to be your partner.”

Hong Yi stroked his chin and nodded silently.

薙切绘里奈 walked up to a freshman.

Under the strong aura of this distant flower, the freshman was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead. He carefully held up the dish he had prepared and cautiously handed it to 薙切绘里奈, his voice trembling as he introduced it: “Th… this is the Mediterranean-style seafood paella I made.”

薙切绘里奈 scooped up a spoonful of the seafood paella filled with broth and put it in her mouth.

Before she even tasted it for a second.

薙切绘里奈's entire beautiful face immediately turned a bluish-black, as if she had eaten unwashed pig intestines.

“This is so disgusting.”

“It’s like an old lady’s socks that haven’t been washed for ten years, soaked in swill, the more disgusting the better.”

“Unqualified!”

薙切绘里奈 commented mercilessly.

The God’s Tongue’s concrete description completely shattered the freshman, who collapsed to the ground muttering: “Ho… how could this be… ”

“This Mediterranean-style seafood paella is clearly the result of all my efforts.”

薙切绘里奈 ignored him and turned to another freshman.

She had an exceptionally high sense of taste since she was a child, and served as a supervisor in famous restaurants at a young age. Her one comment could influence the future of a restaurant.

Many famous restaurants would spend a lot of money to invite her to taste their dishes.

She had seen too many chefs who were devastated.

“It tastes like plastic slippers soaking in pickle jars, disgusting.”

“Hey, how did you manage to make a chicken curry rice taste like spoiled cheese mixed with fermented soybeans? Unqualified!”

“This dish is like underwear that hasn’t been washed for ten days, it’s hard to swallow.”

“Eliminated!”

薙切绘里奈’s sharp tongue was in steady operation.

As the last of the Totsuki Ten, she eliminated more freshmen than the other Ten.

At this time.

There were deafening roars coming from the iron cages nearby.

Hong Yi immediately withdrew his gaze and looked in that direction, finding a boy with blue short hair standing in front of the Gala Crocodile cage.

Is anyone reading this?

I feel like the data isn’t growing at all.

Please give me some flowers, review votes, comments, and any other support~!
