Reborn in Japan as a Chef God
Chapter 110: School Starts

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: School Starts

Spring break lasted only half a month, which was actually quite short, especially when busy, time always slipped by quietly.

Today was April 8th, and almost all of the middle schools in Neon, including universities, ended their spring break during these one or two days and began the new school year.

Tokyo Metropolitan White Seagull High School, located in the Taito District, Yan Qiancao First District, was an area where temples, parks, residential areas, and commercial buildings mingled. It was very popular, but the environment was considered quite good.

Early on, Xia Yu got up, washed, and prepared his breakfast and school lunch. Then he put on White Seagull High School’s new uniform, tossed his book bag into the basket at the front of his bike, and leisurely pedaled towards school on his well-maintained, rust-free bicycle.

"Hey, Yu, watch the traffic safety while you’re biking!"

Passing by the Sen Tian Pastry Shop, Morioka Makki’s dad, Sen Tian City, happened to be cleaning with a broom at the store entrance. He caught sight of Xia Yu biking by, and couldn’t help but raise his voice to shout at his retreating figure.

"Got it."

Xia Yu waved his hand back.

Speaking of which, Morioka Makki most likely set off at dawn today. Earlier, when Xia Yu woke up, he saw her message. It was full of reluctance and attachment, giving a warm feeling.

The earliest train service at Ueno Station was around four thirty in the morning. It was estimated that she left around six o’clock, heading to the suburbs to the Yuan Yue Academy. In any case, she would definitely reach the campus before the opening ceremony.

Last night, Xia Yu specifically chatted with Morioka Makki, reminding her multiple times to bring food ingredients that could stay fresh for a day from home, such as eggs, so she could pass the Polar Star Dormitory’s entry assessment smoothly.

That’s right.

Xia Yu used a little trick to get Morioka Makki placed in the Polar Star Dormitory at Yuan Yue’s side.

As the school start date had arrived, Tiqie Helinai undoubtedly lost the bet to him. He didn’t force the Divine Tongue to work as an assistant chef in Xia’s shop. Before school started, he specifically got Morioka Makki to ask for Eriina’s phone number. He sent a text to her and had a polite discussion.

In short, even if Xia Yu didn’t go to Yuan Yue as some guest lecturer, Tiqie Helinai would help take good care of Morioka Makki. That was the condition after the bet was replaced.

Considering that Tiqie Helinai didn’t have any hostility towards Morioka Makki, Xia Yu was quite willing to trust her integrity.

As for why he arranged Morioka Makki in the Polar Star Dormitory, wasn’t the reason quite simple? It was once the center of Yuan Yue’s "Golden Generation," with Dojima Yin and Saito Chiyokuro both coming from that dormitory.

And this generation’s Polar Star Dormitory members were not weak either.

The "Ten Masters of Far Moon," the seventh seat, a handsome guy who liked running around in nothing but an apron, Ichise Hui, was currently the leader of the Polar Star Dormitory.

There were also outstanding first-year students like Tanaka Hikari, Yoshino Yuuki, Marui Shanji, and Shen Liangzi.

Morioka Makki would become a new member of the Polar Star Dormitory along with Xingping Chuangzhen.

Xia Yu had quite a bit of faith in the "protagonist halo." Although the world was quite deep, with the protagonist’s luck, that guy Xingping Chuangzhen would definitely grow up quickly and might even drive the growth of those around him.

So, in the environment of the Polar Star Dormitory, Morioka Makki could both receive protection and benefit from the growth buff of the environment. Xia Yu had worried himself sick over this childhood friend, partly out of guilt and partly because, in his heart, Morioka Makki embodied the hope seed he planted at Yuan Yue, to live through the student phase for him.

And Xia Yu himself, of course, would spend his high school years at the relatively relaxed and less competitive White Seagull High School.

...

The street corner’s traffic lights flashed green, allowing for crossing, and Xia Yu pedaled across the road. His view suddenly broadened. This street, lined with cherry blossom trees, was now bustling with people.

Boys and girls walked in groups, their laughter echoing at the street’s end. Xia Yu casually glanced over, recognizing them as students from White Seagull High School. The girls wore the relatively traditional neon sailor uniforms, while the boys wore entirely black "Lan uniforms," a style similar to a Zhongshan suit, which was indeed the prototype of Zhongshan clothing, originating during the Meiji era, more than a hundred years ago.

Xia Yu, of course, also wore a full black uniform.

More and more students biking showed up on the street since it was a new term, and there were first-year, second-year, and third-year students. A group of boys and girls gathered on White Seagull Campus, surrounded by temples and parks.

After locking his bike in the bike shed, Xia Yu picked up his book bag but didn’t hurry into the campus. Instead, he headed to the announcement board to check the class assignments for the new first-year students.

Just as expected, the bulletin board was packed with people, layer upon layer, crowded together.

As he planned to squeeze in, Xia Yu was distracted by a group of people.

Dozens of girls surrounded a certain boy tightly.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Sakamoto, which class are you in? Maybe in this first year of high school, we’re in the same class!"

"Mr. Sakamoto, you’re, you’re definitely assigned to Class 2, right?"

"Nonsense! It has to be Class 3!"

"You flashy tartlets, stay away from Mr. Sakamoto!"

These girls seemed familiar, almost all having advanced from White Seagull Middle School. Xia Yu even spotted Morioka Makki’s good friend, the girl with a few freckles on her face, her name seemed to be Mizuki...

The chattering voices had no effect on this boy in black-framed glasses. In a crowd of students, he truly stood out, with an upright and straight posture, not to mention the aura. Besides being neatly dressed, his cool air was too strong!

"Here we go, it’s this big shot again!" Xia Yu immediately felt resigned.

To say, this Mr. Sakamoto, starting from White Seagull Middle School, had been an ever-present specter, always ending up in the same class as him.

Handsome in appearance, excellent in academics, and dealing with others and chores like a full score, the only thing that Xia Yu could mock about was the aura being too strong. Every gesture was full of cool vibes, no, it was beyond cool and often caused trouble.

But Xia Yu had a good impression of Mr. Sakamoto, for no other reason than with his aura present, Xia Yu’s actions in class wouldn’t draw attention. This feeling of invisibility was incredibly nice!

The crowd naturally parted, creating a path as Mr. Sakamoto was surrounded by girls, standing before the bulletin board.

Taking the opportunity, Xia Yu scanned the class list quickly.

"Huh, Class 2."

His surname and first name consisted of just two Chinese characters, standing out among the sea of neon names, and besides, under his own name, Xia Yu spotted Mr. Sakamoto’s name. He couldn’t help but secretly rejoice.

With a big shot drawing fire, his high school days could finally continue to be laid-back.

The early class preparation bell rang, and Xia Yu slowly made his way upstairs, finding the classroom for Class 2, where a female teacher was already standing at the podium, arranging seats.

"Mr. Xia Yu?"

Seeing Xia Yu sign in on the form, the beautiful female teacher pointed to the back row of the classroom, "Is it okay if you sit in the back?"

"Thank you, I really like sitting at the back, and it would be even better if it was by the window."

"I see..."

The female teacher was easygoing. She smiled and spoke softly, "Then choose your own seat."

Xia Yu didn’t hesitate, grabbing his book bag, he directly sat at the back row by the window.

The window was open, outside was the school’s small courtyard, and further away was the park facing the school gate. April was the season when cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Looking out, there was a splendid view of vibrant colors.

Satisfied with the environment, Xia Yu sat down and summoned the Chef God System.
