"The Glutton Set Meal... just enough to fill you up?"
Looking at the portion size of the Glutton Set Meal, Mo Lang recalled Hoshino Sora's words just now. 'Fine, I'd like to see just how much you can eat. If you can't finish it, I'll force it down your throat. Bragging comes with a price!'
It wasn't that he couldn't afford to pay; it was mainly because Hoshino Sora's tone just now had been too pretentious. The Glutton Set Meal typically provided enough food to feed three strong men, and leave them stuffed to the brim at that.
"I want this one; it looks delicious."
The menu started from Hoshino Sora's hands and was quickly passed around the table. Everyone ordered roughly the amount they could eat, so even if they shared, they could ensure nothing went to waste.
Of course, very few people ordered a full set meal for one person like Hoshino Sora did. The others ordered at most two dishes at a time; after all, since the other party was treating, they felt somewhat reserved and couldn't quite let go.
Hoshino Sora, however, didn't care about that at all. After all, they were the ones who offered to treat, and the portion he ordered was truly only enough to fill his stomach—he might even still be hungry.
So much...
Looking at the menu confirmation form handed over by the waiter, Mo Lang's mouth twitched slightly. The price was slightly over budget, but it was still okay—it was within his acceptable range.
But this time, it was really going to be a huge expense!
"That's right, we'll take these. Please serve the food quickly."
He smiled politely at the waiter and handed the menu back. Mo Lang then looked at Hoshino Sora, who was sitting next to him, and couldn't help but feel a pang of distress—a third of today's expenses were coming from him.
"Did everyone go to visit the Oriental Academy this afternoon?"
"We did. It really is an excellent academy!"
Dragon BuFan's voice came from not far away, followed by an enthusiastic response from Yukihira Soma. The young man's eyes were burning with fervor; here, he could compete against even more formidable Chefs.
And through this, climb to the pinnacle of culinary arts!
"We took a brief look at the cooking rooms. They are all equipped with world-class facilities, and they have deeply integrated the local conditions of Hua Xia. Not only are there high-tech cooking stations, but there are also the most primitive farmhouse stoves.
Besides these, there are ovens specifically for baking pizza, machines for making Turkish ice cream—cooking methods characteristic of various countries can all be found here. It can truly be said to gather the strengths of many.
From this perspective, the Oriental Academy is indeed a very good school. As for the faculty and other matters, we'll have to wait until after enrollment to find out, but so far, we are very satisfied."
Erina Nakiri spoke eloquently. During this visit, she had been the most earnest and meticulous observer, all to learn from the Oriental Academy and build up her own Totsuki Academy in the future.
Although she had returned the position of Academy Director to Senzaemon Nakiri, sooner or later, she would inherit it again. At that time, she would have to shoulder the responsibility of developing the Nakitiri Family and the Totsuki Academy.
"You observed very carefully. Our Oriental Academy does not have fixed lecturers; instead, we use a format of inviting famous domestic Chefs to come and give lectures.
These classes are all open lectures, meaning if you are interested, you can go listen; if not, you don't have to worry about it. Over the course of five years, it wouldn't even matter if you didn't attend a single class.
However, I suggest you go listen. Because every teacher who comes to lecture at the Oriental Academy possesses immense culinary power and is a leading figure in their own field of expertise.
Even if you have areas where you surpass them, in their specialties, they are absolutely not weak. As the saying goes, 'teaching and learning benefit each other.' The main purpose of finding teachers is to fill in the gaps where you are not proficient."
Dragon BuFan laughed heartily as he spoke. While they were chatting happily, the waiter appeared at the door. Dish after dish of delicacies was brought to the table, and a rich aroma spread throughout the private room. Once all the dishes were served, everyone picked up their chopsticks simultaneously.
Hoshino Sora's attention was entirely focused on the dish in front of him—a plate of Fermented Bean and Pepper Pork Ribs. He had never seen it before; it emitted a rich, savory fragrance and looked exceptionally appetizing.
Because he hadn't eaten it before, he was particularly interested. He picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a piece. The ribs used were center-cut, and with a slight suck, the meat came off the bone perfectly.
He popped the rib into his mouth and spat the bone onto the plate like a cannonball. Hoshino Sora closed his eyes and began to chew carefully. The meat of the ribs was tender, the texture rich and mellow, carrying a faint aroma of fermented beans and the spicy fragrance of green and red peppers.
The onions and garlic had gradually released their sweetness and fragrance during the cooking process, blending perfectly with the fermented bean sauce and the flavor of the ribs. The spiciness of the peppers perfectly elevated the texture of the entire dish, making it irresistible. This was a dish extremely close to the Gold Grade!
Influenced by the Spice Inequality, Hoshino Sora could see phantoms formed by spices in the void. The phantoms on this plate of Fermented Bean and Pepper Pork Ribs were very solid, showing a very solid foundation. If it weren't lacking a touch of spirituality, it would definitely be at the Gold Grade level!
Besides that.
He scanned the table. There were twenty or thirty dishes in total, each with its own unique aroma. These aromas did not blend in the air; instead, they remained independent, each occupying its own space.
Without standing on ceremony, Hoshino Sora picked up his chopsticks and began to devour the food like a storm, displaying an appetite far greater than that of an ordinary person.
And the more he ate, the more astonished Hoshino Sora became.
Every dish here, every bite of cuisine, made one feel joyful and satisfied from the bottom of one's heart, as if every dish were telling an intoxicating story.
As he tasted, his taste buds were also invited to join this wonderful feast.
When diners are completely immersed in the world of food, all their troubles are left behind. The taste, texture, and perfect coloring of the dishes give them a feeling they have never experienced before!
An epic of cuisine coordinated to the extreme!
Closing his eyes to savor the deliciousness of the cuisine, he found that some dishes were exceptionally tasty, while others were relatively ordinary. This was likely because the skill levels of the Chefs cooking them were different, which led to the differences in the taste of the dishes.
During this meal, Hoshino Sora also displayed an astonishing appetite. Large amounts of food entered his stomach, and the chopsticks in his hand simply could not stop. The aura on his body also became increasingly powerful, eventually even overflowing from his body, forming a strong gale in the enclosed space.
The next moment, it was as if something shattered on his body. All of Hoshino Sora's clothes exploded, revealing immensely toned muscles. Paired with that heroic and extraordinary face, the visual impact was explosive.

Closing his eyes, Hoshino Sora felt the changes in his body. Although it might just be an illusion, he felt that he could now punch through mountains and cleave oceans!
