Chapter 348: Chapter 347: The Copied Examiner Lineup

As she watched the livestream and chatted with the old man, Sen Tian Makoto finally dozed off at the edge of dawn.

The next day in the Polar Star Dormitory courtyard, excited shouts echoed:

"Get up! Get up!"

"Time to head out!"

Yoshino Yuuki and Xingping Chuangzhen, the dormitory’s most energetic teens, were outside chanting the slogans.

"Ugh!"

Sen Tian Makoto rubbed her eyes and woke up, realizing she had been too dazed last night to cover herself with a blanket. Luckily, it was early July and the midsummer heat made it bearable, otherwise, she definitely would have caught a cold if it were winter.

"Ah, it’s ten in the morning!"

She looked in horror at the alarm clock on her bedside table. Makoto hurried out of bed, slipped on her shoes, and dashed into the bathroom.

"Bang bang!"

"Makki?"

"Makki, come out quickly!"

Tanaka Hikari and Yoshino Yuuki called at the door together.

"Alright, alright!"

Sen Tian Makoto stood in front of the wardrobe for a long time, trying on several dresses before deciding to play it safe. She put on Far Moon’s Western-style uniform—a checkered skirt with a white short-sleeve blouse that showed off her fair arms. She twirled twice in front of the dressing mirror before, urged by her friends, she unlocked her door.

As expected, Xiao Hui, Reiko, and Yoshino Yuuki, her fellow female students, were all dressed in the cool summer uniform.

Seeing this, Sen Tian Makoto quietly sighed in relief.

"Good thing I didn’t wear casual clothes..."

The group gathered in the lobby where Ichise Hui, the dorm leader, naturally led them to the academic area.

Here, already gathered were a hundred students and dozens of teachers and professors.

"Yo, Eriina—"

In front of a roadside flowerbed, parked was a black car, Eriina and Niho Fuyuka hurried over, Xingping Chuangzhen greeted them informally. Unexpectedly, Divine Tongue and Secretary dashed into the car like a gust of wind.

Woosh.

The car started and drove off.

Yoshino Yuuki pointed at the fleeting car window and covered her mouth, "The General is inside too!"

"Stop dawdling, get in!"

Ichise Hui called everyone to board. Several luxurious Far Moon buses awaited inside the campus, and the Far Moon students and faculty filled the buses in an orderly manner.

Meanwhile, the bus’s television was broadcasting the live summer special assessment.

"It’s ten past ten now!"

After settling into his seat, Ichise Hui looked down at his watch, then with a stern expression, looked up towards the TV in the bus.

"Less than five hours left until it ends at three in the afternoon!" Nearby, Tanaka Hikari and Sen Tian Makoto whispered to each other. The rest of the Far Moon students in the bus also shared their views on the current situation.

Everyone knew that Xia Yu was in a bind.

From the failure last evening to this morning’s late second attempt at a practical test.

To the uninformed viewer, it seemed as if he had been demoralized by the initial failure, a sense of desperation, otherwise why would he sleep until two at midnight?

The other five assessors, compared to Xia Yu, could be described as desperate and frantic.

Especially Beiye.

This person had managed to grab widespread attention both online and offline.

From yesterday until now, this contestant hadn’t left the kitchen for a moment, firmly holding his ground at the cooking station, his fervent presence both shocking and admirable.

"Chef Beiye has an eighty percent chance of passing!"

"I think so too! Out of all, I believe in Chef Beiye the most!"

Far Moon students whispered among themselves while teachers and professors on other buses expressed similar sentiments.

Beiye Xiu was unanimously regarded well.

...

IGO Special Grade Hall.

Today is the main event. Early on, the parking lot near the hall was packed with vehicles.

At the main entrance of the hall, police held riot shields, ready on both sides of the road.

Today, there were no ordinary tickets, and those who came to the hall were either professional culinary school groups like Far Moon or active celebrity chefs who entered with an IGO certificate.

High-profile socialites were naturally in attendance.

In a nearby plaza, a huge broadcast screen was erected. The park was already packed with people, the scene almost like when Neon’s national team made it to the semi-finals of the World Cup—a lively atmosphere, with everyone discussing.

"Wow—"

Chaos!

Screams erupted from the park, like a tsunami!

The broadcast, which hadn’t switched all night, finally moved from the kitchens of the examiners to the live venue.

"Minasan, good morning—"

Famous food host, Miss Chiyoda Aichi, waved at the camera, her smile warm and genuine.

She wore only light makeup, so when the camera zoomed in for a close-up, her slightly reddened eyes and prominent dark circles caused many fans to express their sympathy.

Miss Chiyoda Aichi had definitely stayed up to watch the broadcast, and so had many viewers; thus, seeing the usually radiant Miss Chiyoda Aichi in such a state didn’t feel out of place to the audience. Instead, it made the female host seem relatable, proving she stayed up just like them. Instantly, a sense of identification and closeness blossomed.

"Miss Chiyoda, good morning—"

On site, many in the audience responded loudly.

The Far Moon student team was present, and the camera timely captured them. At that moment, almost all the students were smiling broadly and shouting back at the host.

The atmosphere immediately heightened.

"Oh wow, it seems everyone is full of energy today!"

Miss Chiyoda Aichi laughed lightly, wearing a formal kimono that enhanced her classic beauty.

One hand holding the microphone, the other by her ear.

"So, what is our first segment for today?"

"Inspection!"

"Inspector!"

Everyone on site shouted, and in front of the broadcast, countless others were shouting, the calls echoing throughout the park near the IGO headquarters like at an exhilarating concert.

"Right, first up—let’s introduce the inspectors for this summer evaluation!"

Miss Chiyoda Aichi also shouted, and the camera moved from her to the inspector seats in the hall.

Three throne-like, towering chairs.

A large round table surrounded these three chairs.

"The first one!"

The camera focused on the most esteemed examiner, Miss Chiyoda Aichi announced with enthusiasm, "From IGO headquarters, specially returning to Neon for this special grade summer evaluation, Qiushan Hong, Lord Qiushan!"

Qiushan Hong, a well-known Lin Chef in Neon, set off exclamations that echoed over Tokyo.

"The second, manager of the IGO Neon Department, Shinohara Shigetaro!"

"The third, Minister of the Defense Bureau at IGO Global Headquarters, from the Spice Empire of India, renowned as the contemporary Spice Empress...Indira!"

The three inspectors were already seated at the inspection table.

Two men and one woman.

When the camera shifted, many viewers were astonished.

Because, this lineup of inspectors, was identical to the one from the special grade evaluation a month ago!

This indeed raised some eyebrows!
