Chapter 235 Dojima: What Sin Did I Commit?
Hakuto made breakfast for Sonoka.
After another bout of intimacy, Sonoka finally left. Hakuto noticed someone secretly peeping from not too far away.
After recognizing who it was, Hakuto raised an eyebrow.
'Was this girl addicted to peeping?'
She had peeped before, and now she was peeping again.
However, Hakuto didn't plan to confront her. As long as Hinako didn't have a big mouth and go spreading it around, Hakuto didn't care.
He returned to the room and looked at the unwashed dishes. He couldn't be bothered to wash them. He directly called the front desk to have a server come up and clean. Then, Hakuto picked up a USB drive and left.
Arriving at the waiting room, Kojiro immediately stood up and bowed to Hakuto. "Master!"
"Get up. Here, take this. Go back and practice more when you have time."
Kojiro respectfully took the USB drive Hakuto handed him. Although he didn't know what was inside, he still respectfully observed the master-disciple etiquette.
"You are now in a critical period. So you must guard against pride and impatience. Maintain an ordinary mind. When you have time, read more Taoist classics."
"Yes, I will remember Master's teachings."
Hakuto didn't say much more. He greeted the others and then found a place to sit down. He took out his phone and started sending messages to others.
Although the others wanted to build a relationship with Hakuto, seeing his state, they behaved themselves.
While building a relationship with a Super Chef had many benefits, being disliked by one would be terrible. So these people preferred to do nothing.
Before long, Dojima walked in. He looked at Hakuto. "With so many people here, you don't try to talk to anyone. Instead, you hide here alone playing on your phone?"
"Besides Sonoka, everyone else here is at least nearly a generation older than me. What topics do you think we could have to talk about?"
Hakuto's words left Dojima and the others speechless. A group of people felt like they had lived their whole lives in vain.
Dojima gave a wry smile and then changed the subject. "The students are already waiting outside. So everyone, go out and make an appearance. And also keep those students in line. Shinomiya, it's up to you."
"Just say you want to make an example of someone. Why say 'keep them in line'? Look at you, with those big eyes, but you're not a good person at all. Your stomach is full of dirty ideas."
Dojima: ...
The others turned their heads away, holding back their laughter.
A scene of Dojima being roasted wasn't something they could see every day. But out of respect for Dojima's authority, these people silently held back their laughter and turned their heads away.
"Alright, let's go out."
Dojima quickly changed the subject. If Hakuto kept talking, then these people would probably burst out laughing.
The group followed Dojima to the auditorium. Hakuto naturally went out as well. Sonoka said by his side, "You could have given Dojima-senpai some respect just now."
"Who told that big-eyed Dojima to keep scheming against me? First Kojiro, then Nakiri Mana. Although neither was a big deal for me, if I don't get back at him, I can't get this anger out."
Hearing Hakuto say this, Sonoka said to him, "Alright. But don't go too far. After all, Dojima-senpai has been quite considerate of us juniors."
"Don't worry. I know my limits. But the person he wants to make an example of is coming."
Just as Hakuto's voice fell, Kojiro beside him said, "The one with the scar on his eyebrow down there."
Down below, Soma pointed at his own face in confusion. Kojiro then said, "Sorry, the one next to you. You're fired."
Then, as in the original work, that person was directly expelled for using scented hair gel.
Instantly, the previously chattering students fell silent. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was afraid of making any sound that might get them expelled.
Hakuto's gaze, however, turned to Erina and Alice. Seeing Hakuto's gaze, Alice made a funny face at him. Erina, on the other hand, looked at Hakuto with a complicated expression.
Then, according to the arranged schedule, Hakuto and Sonoka went to their respective classrooms.
Hakuto looked at the students in his classroom. Among them were Erina, Alice, Sakaki Ryoko, Kawashima Urara, and other well-known figures from the original work.
"For today's lesson, each of you make a dish you're good at. I'll pass those I'm satisfied with. Those I'm not satisfied with will be expelled. You only have one chance. That's it. You have two hours. Begin."
With Hakuto's words, these students showed expressions of relief. A dish they were good at. They should be able to pass the assessment.
After announcing the assignment, Hakuto started looking up things about the game.
YGGDRASIL was going to be released in a few days. Hakuto naturally wouldn't miss it.
He had already had Asuna arrange the game pod. It was quite a coincidence that the game release would be right after the Totsuki training camp ended.
"Instructor, my dish is ready."
Only about ten minutes had passed when a student came to Hakuto with a dish. Hakuto glanced at the student and noticed a hint of contempt in his eyes.
He put away his phone and looked at the dish the student had made. A bowl of ramen. Hakuto only glanced at it before saying, "Expelled."
"What!"
A look of surprise appeared on the student's face. Hakuto said calmly, "Expelled. Moreover, you are not worthy of being a chef at all. Eating your kind of dish would be an insult to my tongue. If just taking instant ramen noodles, throwing them in boiling water, and adding the seasoning packet could pass the assessment, then Totsuki would probably become a joke."
"What made you think I wouldn't be able to tell that the ramen you made used instant ramen noodles?"
The student's expression changed. "I'm sorry. I'll redo it right away."
"No need. Expelled."
