......................

Ryu looked towards his tuna. He took the fish and lifted it to another table. Many incredulous gazes were looking towards Ryu.

They wonder if Ryu's skills are so great or if he just wants to be a clown. However, everything will be missed in this match.

Masato was not too concerned about the rest of the ingredients he took, for him it was finished and the rest of the foodstuffs could not be himself by. However, the thing that attracted attention was how Ryu processed the rest of the material.

Under everyone's gaze, Ryu lightly took out the fish bones. Then, nimblely separate the middle bone with a bone that resembles a side thorn.

Ryu began to shatter the small bones that resembled thorns into very small and smooth shards. Then, he took out some other ingredients and the leftover meat that was on the bone.

It was all done in one minute and really very fast, everyone's eyes were completely in disbelief at the speed.

“Bone is the most suitable component for the body, do not underestimate this bone... The highest nutrition is also located to the bones.”

Ryu started cooking while starting to explain the usefulness of the one-on-one ingredients. He started stirring into one, between bones, meat, and other spices.

A savory aroma spread out towards the entire Arena. They really looked foolishly, that the ingredients that had not been fried had already emitted such a tantalizing aroma.

Ryu did not care, then he began to make the dough into small ball shapes. He glanced at the clock and there were still 25 minutes.

Ryu smiled and started putting the balls into a frying pan full of cooking oil. Such a crisp sound, made everyone swallow their saliva.

The middle bone of the fish, Ryu put in a pot full of water broth that he made with some spices.

The scent continued to spread, leaving some people completely starving, even the judges starving. Masato widened his eyes when he saw Ryu's cooking.

A few minutes later, Ryu began to take out four plates and each plate was given twenty meatballs, the amount of which was enough to satisfy the customer.

If, less is... Ryu still has some on his desk. With a broth that is so tempting, watered precisely the meatballs.

On time, Ryu had finished his cooking. He stared at the whole room. Many eyes were on him.

The spectators were completely astonished, in their minds only one, so the rest of the unprocessed materials could be processed into such an interesting thing.

However, they immediately denied the thought. It looks good, but how does it feel. That is the mind of the audience for now.

The host regained consciousness from the shock, then he said, “Chef Ryu finally finished his meal..”.

“Alright, Chef Masato please bring your cooking to the judges' place, to be judged.”

Masato nodded in understanding. The host made it first on the jury, as Masato finished first. Who's fast, he's the one who's gonna be on the jury first.

Ryu doesn't matter, to him it's not who he used to be... Rather, who cooks well and makes the judges spend it.

Masato brought his cooking to the judges' quarters. It is seen that the judges admitted that the cuisine was delicious. It was not for the condition to please Masato.

Rather, for the jury the food Masato made was good and delicious. However, it was different with Vivi... He had a golden tongue so could not consider it tasty.

“This, there are some things less... I can't call this delicious, this food is almost like on the market.”

A sharp tongue and a very sharp speech. It was normal for every participant when tested by the jury Elcia Vivian.

But still it was very sharp. Masato slightly smiled wryly, he really did not expect his cooking to be mediocre for Vivi. However, for the other three judges it was delicious...

It made him a little happy in his heart. Masato then lowered his head and said, “Thank you for the assessment.”

Masato turned around and headed back to his iron table. Then, the host invited Ryu forward to get an appraisal.

Ryu nodded and walked towards the judges, then he placed right in front of the four judges. The four judges stared curiously at Ryu's cooking.

“Nak, what is the name of this cuisine?” Georg opens the conversation, he starts asking Ryu about the cuisine.

“It is Meatball Tuna.” Ryu said with a smile on his face. The four jurors looked at each other, they actually saw the first time they heard the name of the food.

As soon as Henji widened his eyes, he was surprised at the truly delicious taste. He had never tasted the taste of the cuisine.

Henji took the second, third meatballs, continuing until finally the meatballs on his plate ran out. “Where are other meatballs!”

Silent, in the arena a moment of silence as Henji shouted loudly. Georg, Kanzo, and Vivi stared at Henji curiously.

Georg and Kanzo said nothing. He then, too, began to eat the meatballs served. Both spread their eyes.

‘What is this, why? This cuisine is so good... I feel like swimming together with tuna in the ocean freely.’ Georg really did not expect the new taste.

Kanzo himself is also the same, he is enchanted similar to Henji and Georg. Vivi herself begins to taste one meatball, then she enters into her fantasy, where various Tuna stabs her body.

The four jurors really made the audience dumbfounded. They did not expect that the four of them had overreacted so much.

“Is it that good?”

“The expressions of the four judges really surprised me.”

“Can cooking make such a person..”.

The audience became excited one by one. Georg, Kanzo, and Vivi feel that their food is disappearing.

“Where is the meatball!”

Henji stared at the three judges flatly. Then, the three are aware and understand why Henji was previously hypnotized like looking for meatballs.

“Cough... Coughing... Son, the cuisine you serve is more than our class.” Henji said bluntly, the statement made people widen their eyes.

Masato and the rest of the participants were surprised by the statement, they really did not expect an ordinary chef, getting such a shocking recognition.

Henji then mentioned the various reasons and all of them nodded in understanding. However, Ryu himself continued to smile and turned around.

“I have no interest in being a Top Chef..”

The statement made everyone shocked, the four Jurors themselves were confused by Ryu's statement.

“Cooking is actually just a hobby.”.

His next statement made everything widen his eyes, cooking only for a hobby.

Ryu walked over and passed Masato who was clenching his hands. Ryu did not stop, he was not good at advising someone.

Henji immediately grinned, he completely understood the behavior of the Ryu. “Bokah, it's really beyond reason. Most likely, there will be something interesting in this Red Star Country later.”

Georg and Kanzo regained their senses and both grinned. They agree with what Henji said. While Vivi, just staring at Ryu's departure.

He finally found a decent chef, so it was impossible to let go.

‘Hopefully we will meet again, Joichiro.’

***

Ryu was out of the match. Tera was already waiting there, then looked at Ryu who was coming out of the match venue. He couldn't help but frown.

“I surrender... Let's go back.” Ryu said in a light tone, Tera really did not expect that. However, he nodded and walked with the Master, returning to Arshna City.
