Food: I Am A Cartoonist In Totsuki

Chapter 23: Residence training begins

“Where’s Yukihira?”

Only Yukihira Sōma was missing from the halls of Polar Star Dorm.

The first-year students such as Tong Yu, Sakaki Ryoko, and Yoshino Yuuki gathered together and prepared to leave for the meeting point of the “Residential Training”.

That’s right, today is the day when the residential training begins. All the first-year students will meet at the gate of Tōtsuki Academy and take the bus to the assessment site on time.

Everyone packed their luggage, but when they were about to leave, they found that only Sōma was missing.

“Aren’t you still sleeping?”

“This idiot, sleeping late on such an important day.”

“Yeah… I shouldn’t be sleeping late, I saw Sōma-kun exercising outside just now.” Tadokoro Megumi said softly.

Everyone remembered that Sōma seemed to be exercising recently, and he was often seen doing push-ups and squats in the bedroom or in the open space.

Tong Yu also guessed that Sōma might still be training somewhere, so he said, “Forget it, we won’t wait for him. Let’s go to the meeting place first.”

Just as everyone was about to leave the Polar Star Dorm with their luggage, hurried footsteps came from the second floor.

I saw Sōma running downstairs with his luggage.

“Come on, let’s keep you waiting.”

“Yukihira, you are so slow, everyone is waiting for you!” Yoshino Yuuki complained when he saw Sōma.

“Because I finished today’s training tasks ahead of time, it took a little more time.” Sōma explained.

“Yukihira, is this training method effective? Come back and teach me!” Aoki Daigo was very interested.

“This method was given to me by Tong Yu, and it is very effective. Recently, I have obviously felt that my physical strength has improved.” Sōma said excitedly and showed off his biceps.

Over the past ten days, Sōma has completely adapted and become addicted to this “Saitama” training method, and has developed into a “muscle chef”.

Seeing this, Tong Yu also felt ashamed in his heart. He didn’t dare to think that Sōma had become big and four thick, with muscles all over his body.

A little episode passed like this. All Polar Star Dorm members arrived. After saying goodbye to Isshiki Satoshi and Wen Xu, everyone left Polar Star Dorm and came to the place where the first-year students meet.

We got on the bus smoothly, and at 9:20, all the first-year students arrived at the Tōtsuki Resort, the destination of the accommodation training.

Tōtsuki Resort, a property owned by Tōtsuki Culinary Academy, is a well-known five-star hotel in the area, as well as a tourist and summer resort.

Here you can enjoy the best service, and it is also an entertainment place integrating dining, leisure and entertainment.

The service is first-class, and every dish is also from the hands of star chefs, but the consumption here is also very high. It costs 80,000 yen for just one night’s stay, so it’s not a place that ordinary people can spend.

Even so, countless people come to spend here every year.

However, it is not open to the public all year round. Only in April and May each year, the resort will start to receive tourists, because this is the day when the “accommodation training” of Tōtsuki high school freshmen begins.

After getting off the Tōtsuki bus, Tong Yu and other first-year students followed the instructions to the “Tōtsuki Grand Hotel”.

Standing in front of the Tōtsuki Hotel, which could barely see the top of the building, the Polar Star Dorm group couldn’t help but sigh.

“Very stylish, the height of this hotel has exceeded 300 meters, right?”

“As expected of a part of Tōtsuki, it’s full of local tyrants.”

“Does this mean that we can live here for free these days?”

Of course, Tōtsuki Resort is more than just this hotel. There are other building facilities nearby, such as the “Tōtsuki Li Palace” used for entertaining and entertaining VIP guests. There are more than ten restaurants in the vicinity. Graduates of Tōtsuki also choose to work here.

“If only I could play here for a few days~~Sleep on the deluxe meal, eat the deluxe meal!” Yoshino Yuuki dreamed.

“Don’t think about it, it will cost tens of thousands of yen just to live here for one night, not to mention other expenses.” Ibusaki Shun’s sudden remark made Yoshino Yuuki’s dream completely shattered by the reality of money.

Tong Yu was about to say something when a sound of a radio announcement came over: “Notice, all students are requested to go to the hotel front desk to collect their room cards, and gather at the ‘Tōtsuki Li Palace’ next to the hotel before 10 o’clock.”

After the announcement of the broadcast, all the students in the first grade received a room card for free with the student Zhang.

After Tong Yu got the room card, he put his luggage away, rested in the room, and arrived at the Tōtsuki Palace just before 10 o’clock.

When Tong Yu arrived at the designated meeting point in the Li Palace, almost all the students had already arrived.

Nearly a thousand people gathered in one place, so it should be very noisy.

However, it is surprisingly quiet here, the air is filled with a strong sense of oppression, and most of the students have solemn expressions on their faces.

Tong Yu knows that most of the people are worried about the next training, and those who are not confident in their own strength have already retreated.

Tong Yu didn’t feel much. After knowing that the original work had a certain understanding of the next assessment, he felt a little bored.

Looking around, I saw a familiar figure.

“Hōjō, I haven’t seen you these days, what are you doing?” Tong Yu waved to Hōjō Miyoko not far away.

Tong Yu’s voice was normal and he didn’t deliberately raise his voice, but the banquet hall where Nai He gathered was too quiet, and his words immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him.

“Is he Tong Yu?”

“Yes, he is out of his own power to challenge Eizan-senpai.”

“Tsk, it doesn’t look like anything special, just a pushy guy.”

Although the identity of Tong Yu’s cartoonist has not been revealed, the fact that he and Eishan Eejin are going to eat halberds has spread throughout Tōtsuki, and many people in the first grade now know Tong Yu.

Tong Yu didn’t pay any attention to these whisperers, but Hōjō Miyoko frowned when he heard these remarks.

“Hey, don’t chew your tongue behind your back, I hate people like you the most!” Hōjō Miyoko came to the two students who were gossiping.

“I’m sorry.”

The two students were frightened by Hōjō Miyoko and hurriedly apologized, then ducked aside.

Don’t be afraid, Hōjō Miyoko’s “violence” is well-known among the first-year students. She can easily control a seven- or eight-pound Chinese iron pot with one hand.

Not only that, but she can also dunk upside-down rebounds in basketball class.

Whether it is physical strength or explosiveness, it is different from ordinary people.
