Early the next morning, someone came looking for Yuuki—a Second Class Officer who had also appeared in the original story. She was the one who had assessed Soma Yukihira and the others before. Her name was Lanterby.

While portrayed as a bit of a tsundere in the original story, in front of Yuuki, she wouldn't act like that.

Yuuki was now a First Class Officer, much higher in rank than her.

Although she was a bit doubtful about Yuuki's capabilities being truly on par with a First Class Officer, with the higher-ups' endorsement, she couldn't really question it openly.

Her purpose for being here was very simple:

She had received an assignment from Anne—to explain the WGO Officer's job responsibilities to Yuuki.

"The responsibilities of an officer aren't very complicated. Firstly, assessment. Some top restaurants and hotels—their ratings need to be verified by officers. As for the standards, I'll send them over later."

"Second, examining. However, since you're a First Class Officer, you are responsible for assessing First Class Chefs. The number of First Class Chefs is small, so this part of the job isn't very demanding."

"As for the third part, this one is a bit special. It involves dealing with Midnight Chefs."

Lanterby explained the main responsibilities of officers. The first two didn't interest Yuuki much, but upon hearing the last one, Yuuki perked up.

"What does 'Dealing with Midnight Chefs' mean?"

Yuuki asked, curious.

"You all know what kind of people Midnight Chefs are. They're completely reckless and unscrupulous, and when some organizations are threatened by them, they'll seek help from the WGO."

"Usually, after receiving such requests, Officers are sent to deal with the situation."

Lanterby explained.

Regarding those Midnight Chefs, the WGO also found them to be quite troublesome—this last type of task actually also had some risks involved.

After all, those Midnight Chefs would do anything.

Using illegal ingredients in their cooking was common, they would even use deadly weapons.

"If I can't beat you in the kitchen, then we'll settle it outside!"

Moreover, the higher the Officer's rank, the higher the rank of the Midnight Chefs they would encounter. For Midnight Chefs who could reach such a high level, there were always significant powers behind them, making their behavior even more dangerous.

In short, dealing with these guys was a huge pain. Besides needing to outperform them in cooking, one also had to be extra careful in other aspects.

Not all Midnight Chefs were like Asahi Saiba's group. Asahi Saiba's team was considered among the more principled ones in the Midnight Chef community.

"That's rather interesting. Hisako, take note! Please keep an eye out for this kind of assignment."

Yuuki, however, was very interested in it and gave Hisako Arato a reminder.

As for Erina Nakiri, although nominally also his secretary, such tasks were clearly not something Erina would do. It was best to leave them to Hisako Arato.

Hearing this, Hisako quickly noted these things down. Her competence was without a doubt—but her actions also surprised Lanterby somewhat.

"Hello? Did you even listen to what I just said? I said those Midnight Chefs are DANGEROUS. We lost a Second Class Officer just last month because of them!"

Lanterby was somewhat puzzled; she felt that what she said shouldn't be that difficult to understand. After hearing it, not only wasn't Yuuki afraid, but he even wanted to prioritize these tasks. It truly made her unable to comprehend.

"I heard you. But I'm not particularly worried about the danger." Yuuki stated.

Honestly, speaking of danger—in this world, probably no one was more dangerous than he was.

In terms of personal combat, Yuuki was invincible. As for firearms, unless it was a missile directly aimed at him, normal firearms were useless against him.

With Food Honor, Yuuki could easily dodge bullets.

As for long-range sniping, he could also sense danger beforehand. Once he sensed it, wanting to hit him was practically impossible.

Moreover, Yuuki also had his Freezing Air special ability, able to create ice around his body. While not yet strong enough to completely block high-powered weapons, blocking normal bullets wasn't a problem.

Although he couldn't block powerful armor-piercing rounds, his ice could still slow them down significantly, giving him enough time to dodge—

In short, what others considered dangerous tasks were a walk in the park for Yuuki.

If those Midnight Chefs played by the rules, then he would defeat them in the kitchen. If they were to try something shady, then he wouldn't mind sending them on a one-way trip to the grave.

"You... whatever! If you get into trouble later, don't blame me for not warning you. Anyway, that's it for the work explanation. Also, there aren't any mandatory requirements for First Class Officers. You have considerable freedom, unless it's an order from Mana Nakiri-sama herself. Once she gives an order, even a First Class Officer can't refuse the assigned work."

After explaining these points, Lanterby left. She felt that Yuuki's brain might be a bit...off. Who would actively seek out the most dangerous tasks?

....

"Yuuki, are you sure about this? Ms. Lanterby said these tasks are very dangerous!" Hisako Arato couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry—since I'm taking these tasks, it means I know what I'm doing. Don't forget, I also have the Inferno special ability. You two just don't follow me when I'm doing these."

"Also, Hisako-san, send out a message for me. Tell everyone I accept challenges from any Second Class Officer." Yuuki stated.

Both Second Class and First Class officers could become his "nutrients"—however, the First Class Officers had already seen his skills, so they wouldn't bother.

Of course, if he went looking for them to compete, it wouldn't be a problem—those First Class Officers would probably also be very willing to do this favor for Yuuki.

There were bound to be many Second Class Officers who wouldn't accept him readily—so giving them a chance to challenge him would be great.

These people would become Yuuki's stepping stones.

As for Third Class Officers, their skills couldn't benefit Yuuki in any meaningful way—they were like students at school; there was no need to give them a chance.

As for whether they'd feel annoyed by this, it wasn't something Yuuki cared about.

Those guys could only seethe in silence.

Hearing this, Hisako didn't hesitate.

After all, in her view, Yuuki had already conquered both First Class and Special Class Officers—those Second Class Officers couldn't possibly pose a threat to Yuuki.

....

So, following Hisako Arato's actions, many challenges quickly flooded Yuuki's WGO internal mailbox—all from those Second Class Officers who weren't thrilled about his appointment.

In their eyes, this was just some greenhorn kid who got in through connections—although his background was strong, many of them at this level still had their pride, so there were quite a few who challenged Yuuki.

Yuuki accepted them all. As long as they were Second Class Officers, he agreed directly.

Of course, mixed among them were a few who tried to muddy the waters, and Yuuki naturally wouldn't give those people a chance.

He had Hisako send a group reply to those people—the content was very simple: If you have eye problems, get yourself checked—otherwise, becoming blind someday won't be good.

This one move enraged the Third Class Officers, but they had no means of actually dealing with Yuuki. As for "ganging up and beating him up," they wouldn't dare.

The reason was very simple: WGO was monitored everywhere; there were practically no blind spots—unless they cornered Yuuki in the bathroom, but leaving the bathroom would still place them under surveillance.

So they could only fantasize about jumping Yuuki...

....

That very day, Yuuki competed with a Second Class Officer. Since the Shokugeki system was something famous only within Japan, outside of Japan, no such system really existed—

And there was also no Shokugeki Administration Bureau, so Yuuki directly dumped all arrangements onto the challenger—"Since you're the one challenging me, not the other way around, it makes sense for you to prepare everything, right?"

The challenger could only accept this. After all, they were the ones challenging Yuuki. If they couldn't even manage the judges and the venue, Yuuki couldn't possibly compete with them, right?

So all the work was their responsibility. Yuuki was only responsible for having the match.

Second Class Officers, in front of Yuuki, were basically free wins.

However, their Culinary skills were still quite good and did give Yuuki some inspiration.

....

As Yuuki continuously won, these officers finally realized Yuuki didn't become a First Class Officer because of connections, but because he genuinely had the skills.

Crushing Second Class officers like this already spoke volumes. After just a few days, over a dozen Second Class officers had been defeated by Yuuki.

With such a win rate, even if others were dense, they could also see that Yuuki's Culinary skills were truly terrifying.

During this time, Yuuki was also keeping an eye out for Midnight Chef assignments, but so far, no suitable targets had appeared.

There had indeed been some Midnight Chef incidents, but all were minor matters.

Finding Midnight Chefs at the Second Class or First Class level was proving to be rather difficult.

....

"Thirteen consecutive wins! Yuuki-kun is just too strong!" Hisako Arato said with emotion as they returned to the villa after yet another victory.

Yuuki's Culinary skills were truly terrifying—

And he could achieve zero errors every single time, something practically impossible for other chefs.

"I'm pretty sure I've taken care of most of them. There shouldn't be many left. After dealing with these Second Class Officers, I'll go visit those First Class Officers," Yuuki said.

Hearing this, Hisako Arato quickly checked her records. Just as Yuuki said, there were five Second Class Officers remaining.

Actually, the WGO naturally couldn't have only a dozen or so Second Class Officers. It was mainly because these were the ones who challenged Yuuki from the beginning.

The others were taking a wait-and-see approach.

Seeing Yuuki's winning streak, they knew that challenging Yuuki wasn't a wise move.

So, no one else dared to challenge Yuuki afterward.

Just as Yuuki finished speaking, his phone suddenly rang.

Taking it out, it was an unknown number.

....

After Yuuki answered the phone. A somewhat gloomy voice came from the other end.

"Hello, is this Officer Yuuki?"

The voice on the other end sounded very polite.

"Yes, this is Yuuki. May I ask who's calling? What is the matter?" Yuuki asked with some confusion.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Azami Nakiri. Officer Yuuki, I wonder if you have time to meet?"

The other party quickly introduced himself. Hearing this name, Yuuki was taken aback.

He never expected that the person calling would actually be Erina Nakiri's father, Azami Nakiri!

"Azami Nakiri? You should be Erina Nakiri's father, right? Just say it—why are you calling?"

Yuuki didn't plan to meet Azami Nakiri. There was simply no need.

He didn't have the slightest bit of good feeling towards this guy.

And in his opinion, in the original story, while Azami Nakiri seemed to cause a lot of trouble at Tōtsuki, thinking about it carefully, it was all pointless.

In the original story, Azami fooled a few Elite Ten members who hadn't yet entered society, making them jointly sign to replace the director.

While it seemed like an impressive move, whether it was the Elite Ten or him, they were all idiots.

Those Elite Ten didn't think at all. The Elite Ten's authority was granted by Tōtsuki. But where did Tōtsuki's authority come from? It was all due to the Nakiri family, okay?

And they would graduate. Once they graduated, everyone would know they were traitors. At that time, who would use them?

Their only option was to leave Japan and develop somewhere else. So, being a traitor, their futures were practically bleak.

As for Azami, it was Senzaemon Nakiri willingly playing along with him, using him as a whetstone. Otherwise, Senzaemon had ten thousand ways to directly finish off Azami.

Whether it was his plans collapsing or directly disappearing off the face of the earth—it might have seemed like he used the rules and grasped the initiative, but ultimately, he was only a clown performing under someone else's watch.

....

Hearing Yuuki's words, Azami Nakiri's face also turned a bit gloomy. Keep in mind, he was doing quite well now and had some connections with two First Class officers.

Usually, others would also give him this face, but now, Yuuki didn't give him any face at all.

However, he also knew that now wasn't the time to turn hostile. Although he was somewhat annoyed, he still maintained his composure and spoke with Yuuki normally.

"In that case, let's just talk over the phone. I would like to ask Officer Yuuki to do something for me at Tōtsuki..."

With that, Azami began to describe a grand vision, basically saying that after he secured the director position, he would promise Yuuki many benefits.

As for why he found Yuuki, it was also because of Yuuki's relationships with Terunori Kuga and Satoshi Isshiki. It could be said that Yuuki's influence at Tōtsuki was something he couldn't compare to.

As long as Yuuki was willing to help, then his plan of returning to Tōtsuki and seizing the Director position would be secured.
