Soon, Isshiki Satoshi, with a puzzled expression, opened the door.
However, what was deeply imprinted before him was not the clumsy Tadokoro Megumi, but a strange middle-aged man with somewhat lazy eyes.
Upon closer inspection, his hair was a bit disheveled.
His beard was like uncombed wild grass, and he looked a bit slovenly overall.
Yet, he had a burly physique and a resolute, stern face, as if he had weathered countless storms but still stood firm.
Just by standing there, Isshiki Satoshi inexplicably felt a strong sense of pressure.
"You… you are…"
Isshiki Satoshi regained his composure slightly and asked.
"I am a former resident of Polar Star Dormitory, and I'm here to see Fumio!"
While Isshiki Satoshi was observing Chen Yilang, Chen Yilang was also staring intently at him.
Finally, he probably guessed Isshiki Satoshi's identity and politely replied.
"Fumio?"
"Our dorm manager, the old auntie?"
Hearing this, Isshiki Satoshi was stunned, and then quickly went to call Oomido Fumio.
"At this hour, who would be looking for me?"
"I don't know, he just said he was a former resident of Polar Star Dormitory."
Fumio, with a face full of confusion, came to the door.
She looked up slightly and found the figure standing before her very familiar, like the Totsuki genius who had dominated over 20 years ago, Joichiro Saiba!
"Caibo?"
"You… are you really Caibo?"
In an instant, Fumio, who finally recognized Caibo, had eyes filled with disbelief!
…
Generally speaking, Practical Training is a training activity officially planned by Totsuki Culinary Academy.
So, it usually involves gathering all first-year high school students in the square first, then uniformly transporting them by bus to the destination, which is:
Far Moon Resort.
Then, a 6-day, 5-night training camp will be held at the resort.
During this period, if any student fails to meet the standards, they will be sent back on a large bus, forcibly repatriated to Totsuki Culinary Academy, and expelled.
At this moment, as 7 o'clock in the morning arrived.
The dozens of large buses gathered in the square finally departed from Totsuki Culinary Academy.
Following the winding roads, forming a long chain, they began to head towards Far Moon Resort.
Far Moon Resort, nestled on the mountainside, is surrounded by dense forests, with only two or three winding paths leading to the outside world.
Although it is somewhat remote, it boasts a beautiful environment.
From a distance, many of the buildings are designed in a European style.
Among them, the most dazzling and well-known is the magnificent five-star hotel, Yue Yuan Li Gong!
Just after getting off the bus, Yoshino Yuki, who had endured a long journey, saw the Yue Yuan Li Gong before her, and her bright eyes instantly lit up, exclaiming excitedly: "Wow, this… this hotel looks so luxurious!"
"Yes, from the previous flyers."
"This hotel should be the five-star Yue Yuan Li Gong."
"I heard that for guests who stay here for one night, the cost is 80,000 yen!"
Beside her, Sakaki Ryoko replied with a light chuckle.
"Ah?"
"One night costs 80,000 yen?"
Yoshino Yuki's ears perked up, and she was immediately stunned!
If she were to stay for a month, wouldn't that cost over 2,000,000 yen?
"During the Practical Training, our dormitory rooms are all in Yue Yuan Li Gong."
"That means, as long as we pass the various assessments of the judges every day, we can stay here for free at night."
Sakaki Ryoko, dragging her suitcase, walked towards the hotel lobby while speaking to Yoshino.
"Free? Staying here?"
"A dormitory room that costs 80,000 yen per night…"
Hearing Sakaki Ryoko's words, Yoshino Yuki couldn't help but feel both surprised and delighted.
Only at this moment did she realize that this Practical Training might not be so terrible after all!
Through competition, truly elite forces are screened out.
It is precisely because Totsuki Culinary Academy adheres to an elite education system that it must constantly implement various incentive measures.
After all, only by letting the survivors gain benefits will they have a competitive spirit.
However, doing so often backfires.
Because human greed is endless; once benefits are gained through competition, incentives turn into welfare.
The so-called competition mechanism becomes a mere decoration, unable to play its proper role.
This can be inferred from how Nakiri Erina, the Tenth Seat of the Elite Ten, has recently been using Shokugeki battles to dismantle several research associations, citing the academy's financial problems as a reason.
…
Yoshino Yuki, who probably hadn't seen much of the world.
As soon as she dragged her suitcase into the lobby, she kept looking around, finding the entire lobby adorned with extreme luxury.
Sparkling crystal chandeliers, elegant murals, comfortable sofas, and other decorations, all reflected the quality of Yue Yuan Li Gong as a five-star hotel.
"Ding-dong, all new students participating in the Practical Training, please place your suitcases at the corresponding room numbers."
"And be sure to reassemble in the lobby within 20 minutes."
