The breakfast assessment successfully concluded.
Yuuki undoubtedly took first place. Following him were Alice Nakiri and Erina Nakiri, and then Megumi Tadokoro.
It wasn't that Megumi Tadokoro's Culinary skills were inferior to Alice's, but Alice Nakiri's molecular gastronomy was indeed very eye-catching—even Yuuki was drawn in.
After all, although molecular gastronomy was gradually becoming known, many people only had a vague understanding of it. Seeing such exquisite molecular gastronomy now, they were naturally quite interested.
Alice Nakiri also used this point to her advantage. Her score in this assessment even surpassed Erina Nakiri's, second only to Yuuki.
Alice Nakiri was already very happy about this. She knew her victory didn't really carry much weight, but regardless, being able to win against Erina even once was good enough for her.
The current Alice Nakiri knew very well she couldn't catch up to Erina—and as long as she and Yuuki got together, it would be equivalent to her defeating Erina.
....
However, just a few hours after the breakfast assessment, another assessment began. For the students who hadn't slept last night, this was undoubtedly quite an ordeal.
They felt lightheaded and unsteady on their feet, but there was nothing they could do. After all, not participating in the assessment would result in their elimination.
Having already made it this far, if they just endured a bit more, they could pass the Training Camp. They had no reason to give up now.
So, the students all gritted their teeth and continued to endure.
Just like that, the Training Camp was coming to an end. For sufficiently talented students, this Training Camp was a pretty good experience, with no need to worry about much.
But for the less skilled students, this Training Camp nearly broke them.
....
Time flew by, and it was now four o'clock in the afternoon on the fifth day. This was the final assessment. Everyone was gathered in the main hall.
"Everyone looks completely drained!"
Looking at the students around her who practically had dark auras rising from them, Megumi Tadokoro was somewhat alarmed.
"It's only natural. Not everyone has Polar Star's standards. Even Daigo and Shōji—they're not having an easy time either," Yuuki pointed to the two within the group and said.
Daigo Aoki and Shōji Satō, these two in the original story were simply there to make up the numbers—they didn't have many scenes. In terms of Culinary skills, they were also far inferior to Polar Star's elite members.
To put it bluntly, these two were glorified extras. Although Yuuki had helped them improve their skills, they still couldn't reach the level of an elite.
So, for these two, passing this Training Camp wasn't particularly easy.
"We're not like you guys. With your Culinary skills, you could pass the assessments with your eyes closed. We have to give it our all just to keep up."
The two didn't retort after hearing Yuuki's words. After all, this was the truth—compared to the others, their Culinary skills were indeed considerably inferior.
Although their skills weren't the best, their attitudes were second to none within Polar Star.
Yuuki looked around. At this moment, the students didn't know what would come next was the reward segment.
Although every Training Camp had a reward segment, they didn't know exactly when the assessment would end.
The people at Tōtsuki who designed the assignments were truly devious. So now, although everyone was gathered here, they thought there would be a new assessment. As for the reward segment, although they were looking forward to it, many didn't expect it to be now.
Just then, Gin Dojima appeared on stage.
His appearance made most of the students tense up because every time Dojima appeared on stage, nothing good happened.
Now, he appeared on stage again, naturally making the students very nervous.
This time, after Dojima came up, he gave everyone a pep talk, easing their tense emotions.
But Dojima announced a new assessment in the next second, causing their hearts to clench again.
"I KNEW IT! Every time Dojima-senpai comes on stage, it never means anything good! Here we go again!"
The students were all on the verge of collapse, yet Dojima's next words left them completely speechless because Dojima announced the end of this Training Camp. As for the final assessment, it was naturally the reward segment.
This experience, like riding a roller coaster, made everyone incredibly excited. Thankfully, there were no students with heart problems here; otherwise, Dojima's playing with their emotions might have led to someone collapsing.
....
"Uncle Dojima, your dramatic pauses... aren't you afraid of getting jumped?"
After the students poured into the dining hall, Yuuki didn't enter immediately but found Gin Dojima and said with some amusement. Just now, he had noticed more than one student practically wanting to stab Dojima.
Although those looks were very subtle, Yuuki's eyes were exceptionally sharp.
"Every cohort has quite a few disgruntled students. But so what if they're unhappy? They can only keep it bottled up." Gin Dojima said with a smile.
He knew his operations attracted resentment, but he didn't care. After all, among this group of students, the only ones who could actually threaten him were the Nakiri cousins.
As for the others, they still wanted to jump him? Dojima could easily crush their family businesses.
"Alright, you should head in too." Gin Dojima said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yuuki also nodded and entered the dining hall.
As dishes were brought out one after another, the students began tasting the graduates' cuisine.
"As expected—they only did the final cooking themselves."
After tasting one mouthful, Yuuki knew the situation with these dishes. Only the final cooking stage was done by these graduates; as for other aspects, they were handled by kitchen assistants.
But this wasn't a problem. After all, there were over six hundred students remaining. For these graduates to prepare meals for more than six hundred people wasn't an easy task.
For the students, having something to eat was good enough. Moreover, these dishes were indeed made personally by the graduates.
Erina Nakiri also discovered this point. Her God's Tongue also tasted the subtle imperfections in these dishes. However, these dishes were still made by a group of Second and Third Class Chefs.
So, the God's Tongue didn't reject these dishes—Erina could still eat them.
After dinner, the students finally enjoyed the resort's services.
After all, this was the last night—tomorrow morning, they would pack their things, leave the Tōtsuki Resort, and return to school to continue their studies.
This night, the students went absolutely wild. The long-suppressed emotions completely erupted—If the resort hadn't restricted their sleeping time, these people would probably have pulled an all-nighter.
