The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd

"Yuanyue Academy's first Ten Outstanding Ranking Tournament, the results have come out!

The second-year student, Liu Subaru, won the first place!With an absolute high score of 99, he won the position of the first place in the new top ten, standing at the apex of Tomotsu Academy... and was even called by Mr. "Living Legend" Dojima as surpassing the self he had just graduated. Man!

The second seat was Erina Nagiri, who got 92 points. She was also a second-year student, but Mr. Dojima also gave him an evaluation of “not inferior to the self at graduation”!

The third seat, three-year-old, Isshiki Hui; fourth seat, two-year-old, Mito Yumei; fifth seat, two-year-old, Kohei Soshin; sixth seat, first-year, Oda Shinna; seventh seat, second-year, Kurokiba Cool; the eighth seat, the second-year student, Tian Suohui; the ninth seat, the second-year student, Nakiri Alice; the tenth seat, the second-year student, Nito Hisako!

Let me dedicate the warmest applause to the new ten outstanding people who stand on the peak of Yuanyue..."

The top ten in the new term are entirely based on second-year students!

There are only one person for three years and one year.

It’s not surprising that there are few one-year-olds. Most of the time, ten-year-olds will not be born, and three-years... part of the reason is that there were two three-year-olds, but they were dismissed, and part of the reason is that they are new In his second year, his strength is really outstanding!

In terms of the strength of top students in all grades, it has exceeded three years.

Kawashima Rei was on the court making the final seat announcement, and at this moment, it seemed that he had received some new instructions from the headset, and suddenly the conversation turned...

"At the same time, it is worth noting that the new top ten, whether it is the forefront of Liu Subaru and Nakiri Erina, or the ninth and tenth seats, Nakiri Alice and Nitohisako, all ten are on the judges. In their comments or scores, they got a higher evaluation than the same seat in the past!

The golden age of Far Moon Academy will come again!The time is approaching for the new World Cooking Contest'The·Blue', Yuanyue Group has decided that this year the Academy will send another team to compete!

All the candidates for the representative team will be selected from the students in the school... Non-top ten students also have the opportunity to be nominated, please work hard in the next three months!"

Sure enough, the announcement of this news caused quite a lot of repercussions among the audience, whether it was guests or students.

The difference is that most of the guests are thinking about what Senzaemon's decision means, while most of the students are excited-looking forward to the appearance of being able to compete.

Although I know that as members of the representative team, there are definitely only a few best students, but since it is not limited to "selected from the top ten", that means that others will have some hope!

The guests will feel strange, and even start to talk, it is reasonable...

"The·Blue", as a global cooking competition, has a history of more than 100 years. It was originally a cooking competition that existed in ancient Greece more than 2,000 years ago. Later, with the decline of the ancient Greek cuisine civilization, it was closed. For more than 1,500 years...

Until the early and mid-period of the "Great Fusion of World Cuisine", with the increasingly frequent exchanges of the world's major cuisines, the Michelin Food Federation re-organized the first world-wide "The·Blue".

The new "The·Blue" has become a global cooking competition, held every four years. With the advancement of the "World Cuisine Fusion", now "The·Blue" has become one of the most important events in the culinary world and even the whole world. !

From the beginning, it was undertaken by the Michelin Gastronomy Federation, and it has become a joint undertaking by the three major cuisine certification agencies...

However, while the students off the field are gearing up, some people can't help but enjoy pouring cold water.

"Yuhime, you don't need to be so excited, right?" Marui couldn't help but said to Yuuhime who was already "burning" on the side.

"Huh? Four eyes! Are you trying to provoke? I advise you to think twice, tonight's celebration will still be held in your room!" Yuu Ji threatened with a guilty conscience.

"But the words of'The·Blue'..."

"I said that I was not selected among the top ten, can I look forward to it! And...even if it is not representing Yuanyue, I remember that'The·Blue' still accepts registration from non-governmental organizations? Otherwise, we will not bring it. A Xing and Chuang Zhen, how about teaming up by themselves?" Yuu Ji interrupted uncomfortably.

"Wait, although the nature of the group participating in the competition is not restricted, whether it is a country, a group or a restaurant as a unit, please don't forget...The implementation of'The·Blue' is updated more than 20 years ago. Five-person 24-star registration system'! In other words, if you want to register, you must first ensure that there are five players who are selected, and they must have a '24-star' in total."

"Twenty-four-star registration system? What does it mean...Ahem, I actually pay attention to it every time, I still remember the last eighth list! It's just..." Yuu Ji said embarrassedly.

It's just that it was completely "watching the fun" before!I don’t really know the registration rules...

Just like Liu Subaru's journey through the previous Olympic Games of the world, everyone may pay attention to the medal list every time, but on the registration process of the Olympic Games...Who cares about this?

Marui Zenji put on a pair of glasses and explained: "The so-called'add up to twenty-four stars', that is, each contestant has the qualification of'star chef'. The number of stars must be equal to or greater than twenty. four!"

Dawu on the side obviously didn’t understand, and said in doubt, “Five people reach twenty-four stars? That’s not an average person who has nearly five stars? Isn’t the highest rating only three stars?”

"The highest rating is three stars, yes, but chefs with two or more stars are rated for various dishes. For example, A Xing’s previous two-star certification is “two-star Chinese pastry chef”. If a chef has both One type of three-star certification, one type of two-star certification, even if it has five stars!" said Marui Zenji.

Others understood at this time. Although "The·Blue" theoretically does not restrict the participants, as long as the "team" meets the requirements, even a consortium of several small restaurants can register for the competition, but the registration criteria are not Not average high!

"Each team has five players, and the average needs to be close to five stars... There are also two candidate players, a total of seven people form the team. Although the candidate players are usually not required, this is only the registration rule! If the strength is insufficient , It was just a ridiculous laugh."

"That's right, although Yuanyue Group will also register for the competition in the name of the group before, but in the past, the group usually convened outstanding graduates to form a team for the competition!"

The easiest way to achieve a five-person 24-star system is to get a two-star rating for two dishes and one-star rating for one dish...

Since the development of cuisine, the division of dishes has been very detailed!

For example, a large series of Chinese cuisine is not only divided into eight major cuisines, but also twelve other cuisines, as well as official cuisine, imitation food, imitation Tang cuisine, imitation Song cuisine, Confucian cuisine, Honglou cuisine, Siguan cuisine...There are hundreds of small cuisines. .

Coupled with the branches of other major cuisine circles in the world, the dishes can be subdivided into hundreds!

Moreover, this number is not fixed. The specific application for the review of the cuisine is determined by the chef himself, that is to say, you can even apply for a cuisine that others have not heard of... Of course, if the application is too biased, then whether to accept the application , It depends on the judgment of the three major cooking certification agencies.

Some of these cuisines are too uncommon, and their acceptance may not be very high. For example, the qualification of "Two-star Chinese Pastry Master" obtained by Pleiades Liu last time is already quite "gold in content"!

In the trend, the cuisine is divided into more and more detailed. At the same time, this also means that some closely related dishes belong to different dishes in terms of rules...

It can be said that an older two-star chef will be promoted to three-star. He may not have enough ability, but usually as long as he has enough experience, he chooses a similar cuisine, takes several years to consolidate and further his studies, and then apply for a two-star qualification. , The success rate is not low!

Of course, only the chefs who have no confidence in their rising stars will spend their time on "starring"...

After listening to Marui Zenji's explanation, Yuuhime and others in Pakusungryo have basically given up their desire to participate.

No matter how confident they are, they understand how far they are from a star chef, and the registration criteria have already explained the intensity of the competition. Although there is no star limit as a candidate, they cannot accept it as a "cumbersome".

At the same time, I also understand why many of those guests have an "incredible" look!

The top five of the top ten in previous years, when added together, can have three "one-star chefs" upon graduation.

For example, the last year's Si Yingshi, who was certified as a "two-star chef" not long ago, has shocked many people. Among the first graduates in recent years, it is also very good. Achievement.

And this time the commander's intention is to form a team of all students?

You know, among all the students at the school, only Pleiades Liu has a "two-star" certification. Although from the evaluation given by Dojima Silver, both Pleiades Liu and Erina have the strength to obtain three stars, and the two are good at it. They are all very wide, and they will definitely get more than one Samsung rating...

But starting from the three seats of Isshikihui, I am afraid that there is still a distance from the "three-star". It is not bad to get a two-star, which is the strength that Si Yingshi demonstrated not long ago!

After that, Yumei with four seats, Chuangzhen with five seats, Xinnai with six seats, and Kurokiba with seven seats, there is still a distance between two stars, and one star is probably the limit!

As a student of Yuanyue, he has a wide range of “dishes” while having his own characteristics in cooking. For example, although Yu Mei seems to be “only” good at “meat cuisine”, he actually knows the meat of all mainstream cuisines in the world. Cooking is all involved. Ryo Kuroki is good at "aquatic cuisine", and he is also proficient in aquatic cuisine of various cuisines...

They just have their own style, but they master a wide range of dishes.

Therefore, many people believe that as long as they have one-star or two-star strength, they will soon get two or more stars of the same level!

"But the commander is a bit too risky this time? Even if these students can meet the conditions of the competition, I am afraid they are only barely reaching the standard of the '24-star system'. Let them participate at this time, I am afraid the results will not be very good. ..." Many directors and partners of the college are not very optimistic about this decision.

Some Yuanyue elders also mentioned it. Twenty years ago, Yuanyue Group used a full-school lineup...

"I also vaguely remember this incident, but the results were not ideal, did they?"

Indeed, that time because the trump card, Joichiro, withdrew from the competition in the middle of the game, Dojima Gin and Nakamura Thistle were only average players at the time, so the team was quickly eliminated...

"Now only Liu Subaru has the two-star qualification. If even the'five-person twenty-four star system' fails to meet the standards when signing up three months later, the commander-in-chief can only change his mind. If it really reaches... Collecting the students who meet the standards of the'five-person twenty-four star system' is already a great publicity for the college and the group."

Obviously many people are holding this mentality.

At the same time, there are also college elders such as Oizumi Kakijijin, who are worried that Liu Subaru or Erina will repeat the same mistakes as the "Sura" of the past, and discuss with the commander in chief after preparation...

And at the end of Shijie's speech, after Liu Subaru and others left the arena, they were all stressed when they heard Erina talk about the "five-person twenty-four star system" in detail!

It seems that the next three months will be time for them to "brush stars"...

"Wait! Except for the'five-player twenty-four star system', is there no age limit for the competition?" Liu Subaru asked suddenly.

If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible to sweep the two dragon chefs, Xie Yunlong and Lin Yi, and three Lin-level chefs like Liu Lousan?

"There is no requirement for age, but there is a'criteria' jointly decided by the three major cooking certification bodies, that is,'let the cooking world have more new faces'... All members of the participating teams that have entered the competition are not allowed to use any Participate again as identity." Erina said.

"Each time you enter the main race, there are eight teams, and each team is selected for a total of seven candidates, which means that fifty-six people are'eliminated' every four years..." Chuang Zhen said with his fingers.

This kind of "ban" is based on the individual as the unit, not the organization as the unit. For example, the Yuanyue Group representative team may have entered the main match many times, but each time the players will be different!

Liu Subaru also breathed a sigh of relief, so as to avoid the possibility of those old monsters coming out to monopolize the top few.

"There is one last question... to enter the race, or first place... how much is the prize money?" Liu Subaru suddenly asked.

This time it was not only Erina, but everyone else nearby also looked at him with a look of monsters.

What should be considered now is how to satisfy the "five-person twenty-four star system"?

Even after the competition, what should be considered is how to enter the race?

And... Does "The·Blue" need a reward?

"Entering the race itself is the best reward."

Erina paused after speaking, because it was Pleiades Liu asked, so he explained: "The race is divided into two stages, team and individual. As long as they can enter the race, the names of all players will be in the world. Internal communication... and if an individual has outstanding performance, he will become the upstart in the cooking industry in the next few years."

"That's it? There really is no bonus?"

"...In previous years, it was somewhat symbolic, but not much."

Seeing Liu Subaru staring with uninteresting interest, others felt that Liu Subaru's vision was not broad enough at first, but they immediately thought of Liu Subaru's previous "Quick Healing Knife", and some realized... These "fictional names" did not seem attractive to Liu Subaru. !

The upstart in the culinary world?After the spread of today’s game, Liu Subaru’s name will already resound in the cooking world...

At this moment, Liu Subaru suddenly remembered something, and quietly leaned to Erinai's ear, and spoke in a low voice.

I don't know if it was because of the distance, or Liu Subaru said something "unspeakable", you can see Erina's face turned red all of a sudden, and then he gave him a shameful look!

The two murmured for a long time, and finally ended with Erina nodding, as if they had promised Liu Subaru something...

On the second day after the "Ten Elites Qualifying", the commander-in-chief suddenly called a meeting of the Ten Elites. There was only one thing he said, and that was that he had received accurate news, this year's "The·Blue" The hosting right has been handed over to the American Development Council!

"What? The three major cooking organizations agreed? Does the'American Development Association' really want to become the fourth largest cooking certification organization?" Liu Subaru was surprised.

"Yes, from the beginning, the'American Development Council' has reached a consensus with the'Michelin Gastronomy Federation'. The Michelin Gastronomy Federation advocates that the right to host'The·Blue' this time will be transferred to the'American Development Council' ', the next session will start again from the'Michelin Gourmet Federation', and the four companies will be held in rotation, but the Dragon Chefs Alliance and the Brahmin Tasting Association did not agree at the beginning..."

"'Initially' didn't agree?"

"Well, I just got the news that the'Dragon Chefs League' has agreed to it. I am afraid that the'Brahman Tasting Association' will not continue to insist. It is just a change of conditions. The next session will be held by the'Dragon Chefs League'. The next edition will be held by the'Brahmin Tasting Association', after which it will be discussed separately for three or four rotations."

"That is to say, agree to replace the Michelin Gastronomy Association by the American Development Council in this session? What do the people of the Dragon Chef Alliance think! Although it seems that there is no big difference, once this precedent is set, I am afraid..." Liu Subaru The most surprising why Dragon Chef Alliance agreed.

Because many senior leaders of the "Dragon Chef Alliance" have presided over the "God Cooking Showdown" between him and Erina before, he felt that those old foxes were not so easy to buy...

Did something happen?If it's not in a meeting, Liu Subaru would like to find Liu Subaru Court immediately and call Liu's house to ask what happened!

But there is no need to ask Liu Zhuoyuan, because the relationship between the Liu family's main family and the Tomotsu family has been eased, so Senzaemon has received news from the Liu family.

"It has something to do with the awards provided by the American Development Council to the championship team..."

When Senzaemon talked about this, everyone couldn't help but looked at him in surprise, and at Liu Subaru...

I said in unison: I "beep"!Really rewarded?
