Because before departing, Hoshino Sora had Erina Nakiri and the others learn Chinese. With their Gourmet Cells, they learned exceptionally fast, and they fit in perfectly among the crowd.
Seeing this, Hoshino Sora chuckled softly, then pushed open the door and silently walked in. The eyes of everyone in the room instantly focused on him the moment the door opened.
The feeling of being the center of attention.
"Please take a seat quickly, student."
Looking at the belated Hoshino Sora, the middle-aged woman on the podium gave him a friendly smile. As a specially recruited student this year, Hoshino Sora's personal information had already been circulated among various teachers.
For a chef with potential, no matter where they go, they are a sought-after presence.
"Hmm."
Hearing the middle-aged female teacher's words, Hoshino Sora nodded gently at her, then walked directly towards a small corner in the crowd, which was where Erina Nakiri and the others were.
Seeing Hoshino Sora walking towards them, Erina Nakiri smiled, then they all stood up and made a little room, surrounding him in their midst.
Because the space was not large, Hoshino Sora was embracing people on both his left and right, with half of those beside him sitting on him just to barely keep from falling, and his demeanor naturally attracted many envious glances.
Hoshino Sora didn't care about this, he just cast his gaze upwards, with a leisurely smile on his face.
"Ahem, everyone, look at me."
After two light coughs to regain everyone's attention, and seeing their gazes return, the middle-aged female teacher continued: "Today, I've called you here for a simple short meeting. I will only talk about three things and then let you go, so please be quiet while I speak."
"First, accommodation. From the moment you become a student of Oriental Academy, you will own an independent manor. You can choose to live alone or with others, and water and electricity within a certain range are completely free.
Second, classes. You may have heard that at Oriental Academy, you can attend classes if you want, or stay in your dorm and slack off if you don't, but all of this depends on passing the final assessment. If you fail the final assessment, you will be expelled, so please consider carefully when slacking off.
Third, the Oriental Cuisine List. The Oriental Cuisine List is divided into three tiers: Top 10, Top 50, and Top 100. For each tier reached, Oriental Academy will provide special rewards. The higher the ranking, the more generous the rewards, and the more likely you are to be taken as a disciple by a culinary titan, gaining a legitimate lineage. So strive hard!"
Her voice was filled with passion, making the new students below feel their blood boil, and their eyes seemed to burn with fire. Although their ages varied somewhat, the vast majority were still in their prime, the age when a man should strive for self-improvement!
"That's all I have to say. You'll experience the rest after you enroll. Later, there will be dedicated personnel to take you to your respective residences. Please wait here for a while, chat with each other and get to know one another. As for me, teacher, I'm clocking out now~"
With that, the middle-aged female teacher picked up her bag from the podium and quickly left the classroom, leaving the students in the room speechless. Are teachers at this school all so casual?
"Hello everyone, I'm Gan Lin, a chef from Fujian. It's a pleasure to meet you all. I know you, you are the BLUE Champion of the World Culinary Competition, Hoshino Sora, and you, the BLUE's..."
The teacher had just left when the girl sitting in front of Hoshino Sora turned around.
Looking at the handsome young man, a blush appeared on Gan Lin's face, and then she began to enthusiastically chat him up.
Hoshino Sora also showed his signature smile at this sight.
Because he was from Fujian in his previous life, hearing that the other person was from his hometown immediately made him feel more favorably towards her.
Seeing Gan Lin and Hoshino Sora chatting happily, several girls around them also gathered over and quickly joined their conversation.
For a moment, the small group was filled with silvery laughter.
This also drew sidelong glances from the surrounding boys.
Because not many girls were admitted to Oriental Academy, and the male-to-female ratio reached an astonishing nine to one, every girl seemed incredibly precious.
And at this moment, most of the girls were gathered around Hoshino Sora.
While other places were like monk temples, his area was like a spider's den, which caused quite a bit of dissatisfaction among many of the boys.
But it was limited to just dissatisfaction.
Faced with Hoshino Sora, who had won the BLUE Champion at the World Chef Competition and was a special recruit brought in by Oriental Academy with significant benefits, they dared not provoke him.
He was invited in, while they had to desperately struggle to squeeze in.
No one present was unaware of the disparity.
They were not all teenagers; the oldest was even close to forty years old.
For Hoshino Sora to achieve such accomplishments at seventeen years old, he truly deserved to be called exceptionally talented!
Despite being very jealous of him, they had to admit that Hoshino Sora was very talented and had a bright future.
Unless absolutely necessary, they would never offend him.
Hoshino Sora was also happy to relax; if others didn't provoke him, he naturally wouldn't provoke others.
But when would the guide arrive? He had been waiting so long he felt like a wilting flower...
Looking at Gan Lin and others who were chatting with Erina Nakiri about their romantic experiences, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but yawn, looking a bit impatient.
"Students with student ID numbers ending in 1-10, please come forward.
Students with 11-20 can also prepare.
We are your guides to the dormitories."
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
As Hoshino Sora looked back towards the entrance, a line of men uniformly dressed in black suits walked in and sternly addressed the people below.
The rest was simple.
Everyone had been given an identity tag with their number when they entered.
One man in a black suit took ten people, and twenty men in black suits led everyone away.
Hoshino Sora smiled helplessly at this, and after bidding farewell to Shiina Mahiru and the others, he got up and left the conference room, walked out of the office building, and headed towards his residence.
Before long, he returned home, but he didn't go in immediately.
Instead, he stood at the entrance because a girl in a black leather jacket was blocking his way.
Looking closely at the girl's face, she bore some resemblance to Principal Lin Han
"You're Hoshino Sora? You're quite handsome, with delicate skin.
I wonder what kind of bewitching potion you gave my sister; she actually made me come personally to teach you about Gourmet Continent."
Looking at Hoshino Sora who appeared at the door, Lin Chichi said impatiently, with her arms crossed.
She had been soaking in a bath and binge-watching a drama at home, but then Lin Han's call made her come over.
And as if coming over wasn't enough, Hoshino Sora had been out somewhere, making her wait at the door for more than ten minutes.
It was a good thing she only waited for a little over ten minutes, otherwise she would have already left.
"You are? Sister Han Shuang's sister, right?
Your styles are so different…"
The girl's long hair was silky and dark brown, flowing over her shoulders.
She wore a leather jacket, which looked stylish and unique, and was particularly form-fitting, highlighting her slender figure and almost perfect curves.
Her makeup was exquisite and natural, enhancing her features perfectly, especially her fiery red lips, which looked exceptionally sexy.
Her nose bridge was high, giving her a firm and decisive impression.
If Lin Han was a cold, icy goddess, then the person in front of him was definitely a fiery fairy.
Although he only took one glance, Hoshino Sora felt this way in his heart.
"Am I really that beautiful? You keep staring at me, but no matter how much you look, I'm not yours.
Hurry up and open the door.
There are only a few days left until the end of the month.
Even if you're eager to go to Gourmet Continent, you still need to understand some basic information clearly."
Her voice carried a hint of teasing.
Being stared at by a handsome younger brother made her feel quite pleased.
As the saying goes, beauty is justice; if an old man stared at her like that, she would only feel disgusted.
"Hmm, your house is so well-equipped.
As a newly enrolled student, you can actually live in a first-class dormitory.
My sister really favors you.
You're not her kept man, are you?"
Looking at the interior decor, Lin Chichi clicked her tongue in wonder.
The furnishings were truly top-notch, not much worse than her own place, and in some areas even better.
If this guy and her sister didn't have some kind of relationship, she wouldn't believe it even if she died!
"What first-class dormitory? Are dormitories even graded?"
"Of course! Otherwise, where would there be enough land for everyone to live?
First-class dormitories are generally for those in the top one hundred of the Oriental Cuisine List.
Ordinary students usually get a house of about three hundred square meters.
Above first-class dormitories, there are at least special-class dormitories, covering an area of fifteen hundred square meters, and then personal estates, covering three thousand square meters.
However, those are only for the top ten on the Oriental Cuisine List."
"I see…"
Hoshino Sora nodded, not overly concerned.
