Chapter 266: Chapter 265: Special Internship (Part 1)

The one who broke the balance appeared, and the outcome was set in that moment.

Just after the Far Moon and Orlando Team had cast their votes, Xia Yu waved and walked away, "I have another class elsewhere; I just came here as a temporary stand-in. You guys continue."

Humming a tune, he strolled through the corridors of the teaching area.

Ichise Hui followed behind him and couldn’t help saying, "Instructor Xia, the results haven’t been counted yet, and you’re leaving like this..."

"Who says they haven’t been counted?"

Xia Yu’s lips curled into a smile.

Just then, a notification for the completion of the task had popped up.

Fame Points were credited.

Moreover, his cooking skill level at lv30 had increased by 48%!

One more task and he would level up.

"By the way, who was that female tutor who voted for me just now? She dared to embarrass Smith in public. After she voted for me, she set a good pace, and at least ten students from Orlando voted for me..."

Remembering something, Xia Yu suddenly stopped.

Ichise Hui rolled his eyes and said, "That’s what I’m saying. You were in such a hurry to leave, you didn’t even properly thank Miss Elizabeth!"

Hearing the name of that female tutor, Ichise Hui showed a look of admiration in his eyes.

Catching that expression, Xia Yu grew more curious. A woman who could command such admiration from the formidable Ten Elite Council’s seventh seat, Ichise Hui, must have an impressive identity.

"Who is she?" Xia Yu asked.

"For now, although Smith is officially the leader of the Orlando exchange group, it’s Miss Elizabeth who holds the highest position; don’t worry about what Smith will do to her," Ichise Hui said.

"Is that so..."

Xia Yu waved his hand, "I need to go back to class, Ichise. You can take care of things yourself."

"Oh, right!"

Just before turning around, Xia Yu suddenly said, "Also, about that matter, tonight when you go back, gather the Polar Star Dormitory members for a talk. Give me a list of volunteers, and I’ll arrange work for them."

Ichise Hui opened his mouth and said, "The first-year students actually have a very tight schedule, they might not manage to spare time to work at the shopping street."

"You can start with the second-year and third-year students, especially the third-years, as they’re nearing graduation and have almost no classes left. What’s left for them is building enough real-world experience..."

The seventh seat from the Ten Elite Council watched Xia Yu with a smile, his eyes flickering with a subtle eagerness.

Hmm?

Seeing through the nuances, Xia Yu vaguely understood.

Could it be that members of the Ten Elite Council also wanted to work for me?

Ha!

That thought even surprised himself. Take the ninth seat’s ’Alchemist,’ Rui Shan, as an example. That guy was a consultant for countless restaurants and food companies, wealthy enough not to need to toil for an instructor.

The salary Xia Yu offered was tempting for ordinary students, but for someone at the level of the Ten Elite Council, it was barely pocket money, insignificant.

To provide another example, the tenth seat ’Divine Tongue’ Tiqie Helinai, who would attend a tasting session that didn’t start at a million?

But Xia Yu forgot he had an unmatched advantage—

He could guide others in comprehending the "Heart of Cooking!"

Ordinary students might not know the transformation stories of Tanaka Hikari or Morioka Makki, but which member of the Ten Elite Council wasn’t well-informed and well-connected?

Lately, Tiqie Helinai had been frequently visiting Xia’s shop, probably making other council members intrigued.

They didn’t have as close a relationship with Xia Yu as Helinai did and hesitated to ask, but if they took the opportunity of Xia’s shop recruitment aimed at the Far Moon, going for an interview would surely fulfill their wishes.

’Heart of Cooking!’

Xia Yu didn’t probe further in the end, waved goodbye, and left. Ichise Hui stood in the corridor, watching him go, his eyes gleaming with fervor.

He returned to the large classroom.

Ichise Hui was stunned to find that the Far Moon Exchange Group and the Orlando Exchange Group had already disbursed.

In the classroom, Professor Smith, Tutor Elizabeth, Ao Lan, and Professor Roland Chapele, along with the elusive Dojima Yin, who was known as the Divine Dragon, were all conversing with a middle-aged man dressed in a traditional kimono, their faces showing respect.

"Ichise, where is Instructor Xia?"

Dojima Yin asked him as soon as he saw him.

"Instructor Xia has returned to his own class," Ichise Hui replied.

"Lord Qiushan, you see..." Dojima Yin immediately turned to Qiushan Hong.

"It’s alright. I will formally pay him a visit in a couple of days. As for this ice sculpture, please keep it safe for me. I will take it with me when I leave Far Moon this afternoon, is that alright?"

"No problem!" Dojima Yin assured.

Professor Smith and Tutor Elizabeth saw off Dojima Yin and Qiushan Hong.

Only then did the suffocating feeling begin to ease.

"That ice sculpture..." Professor Smith’s expression was animated. As a core member of the ’Gourmet Society,’ he certainly recognized the big shots from the headquarters of the opposing IGO organization.

Qiushan Hong, Lin Chef.

He’s currently the head of the IGO development bureau.

The key thing was, from listening to Dojima Yin’s conversation, it seemed that such a big shot was returning to Neon for that young man.

Professor Smith’s heart tightened.

He was certain that the personal information about Xia Yu that the ’Gourmet Society’ held was just the tip of the iceberg!

Before seeing Qiushan Hong, Professor Smith was very concerned about such a loss, even though it wasn’t an official culinary battle, but in the subject competition, he had indeed lost, allowing the Far Moon Team to score a crucial point.

Now, all Professor Smith could think about was the relationship between Xia Yu and Qiushan Hong, with the outcome entirely set aside.

"Lin Chef..." Miss Elizabeth contemplated.

...

It was the afternoon of Saturday.

Although it was a day off, the ’Ten Elite Council’ had called an unexpected meeting.

"This is the document that President Dojima has just passed down. The General has signed it; everyone, take a look."

Ichise Hui, who held the seventh seat, distributed the printed document.

"A permit?"

Seeing the big character on the cover, Tiqie Helinai, who held the tenth seat, slightly raised her eyebrows, flipped through the document, and quickly lifted her delicate face in astonishment, saying, "They actually allow us to work in restaurants outside the Far Moon Group before we graduate?"

"Miss Tiqie, please look closely," Ichise Hui said with a smile.

"Uh, the restaurant address is Tokyo’s Taito District, Ameyoko..."

Hiss. Reading this, Tiqie Helinai realized why the address sounded so familiar. Wasn’t this the location of Xia’s Main Store?

"Instructor Xia’s restaurant?"

Several elites’ eyes lit up as they discussed while flipping through.

"So, does the General intend to use Instructor Xia’s restaurant as the venue to establish a ’field training’ course among the second and third-year students?" Si Yingshi pondered, supporting his chin with his hand.

The field training at Yuan Yue Academy was strictly regulated, from first-year to second and third-year, virtually each grade had its corresponding training plan.

Field training was essentially working as an intern.

The internship for the second and third-year students was relatively longer, and the requirements were elevated.

Previously, the internships involved sending students around the country, from high-end restaurants to food suppliers, even to public institutions, all kinds of places to let the students experience the real-world atmosphere early on.
