Chapter 295: Should I support the gentle and the aloof?
Today's cooking class at Shuchiin Academy is a group cooking class of three students. Just as Uchiha Ryo was about to find an excuse to skip class, he was grabbed by his classmate Chitanda Eru.
"Ling, let's be in the same group!"
Chitanda Eru seemed very interested in cooking class, while Uchiha Ryo was dismissive. Cooking class? He dared to skip Chinese class, so what was there to be afraid of in cooking class?
However, according to student council president Miyuki Shirogane, it seems that there will be an exam for this cooking class, and since the exam for life skills courses is related to students' daily grades, students should try their best to get an excellent grade.
This is the biggest difference between Shujiwon and other schools.
As one of the four major high schools in the Kyoto area, Shuchiin is a paradise for aristocratic children. It emphasizes both life skills and cultural courses, since these students either inherit their family's wealth after graduation or embark on a career in government to become high-ranking officials.
Studying is their own business. For example, Yu Ishigami originally planned to become a shut-in after graduation, or for his family to hand him over a small company to be the president.
By the way, among the four top high schools, Toyonosaki Private High School is a traditional school that prioritizes academic performance. So, if Kotori wants to do well in their music, she must pass every subject, otherwise she will really have to repeat a year or even be expelled.
The private Hundred Flowers Academy, which is also very popular among aristocratic children... is a place favored by spoiled brats who don't like studying at all. There, you don't need any outstanding grades or life skills; the only thing they value is... gambling skills!
The reason why the students of Shuchiin Academy have a high overall quality is because most of the spoiled young masters and arrogant young ladies who lack manners go to Hyakka-o to have fun.
As for Yoto High School, which is one of the few schools in the Tokyo area to have a performing arts department, they are ranked among the top four high schools not because of their outstanding academic performance or powerful background, but simply because they have produced most of the stars and idols.
Thinking about it carefully... Shuchiin seems to hold an exchange student program every year. Last semester, Uchiha Ryo went to Toyonosaki. Should I participate in this program next time?
If we participate in an exchange program, which of the remaining two options would be better to go to...?
Getting back to the main point, Shuchiin Academy places great importance on cultivating students' character and knowledge, so... cooking classes have become a nightmare for many.
The passing requirement for the exam was to create a dish that would impress a professional chef! What a joke! Many students who had initially planned to fool the exam began racking their brains for a solution.
And the method they came up with was!!!
Anyway, as long as there's one person among the three who's a good cook, it'll be fine, right?
"So, Ling, Yukino and I are in the same group! As for Hayasaka Ai, let her be in the same group as Shinomiya and Fujiwara."
Chitanda Eru directly arranged the six people. In any case, the three people in the team did not have to be from the same class, as long as they were from the same grade.
As for Shirogane Miyuki? That guy is in high demand, so there's no need to worry. Besides, with Shirogane Miyuki's culinary skills, passing the test will be no problem at all.
"Uchiha, in that case, we're rivals! Even when it comes to cooking, I absolutely won't lose!" Shirogane Miyuki teamed up with two male classmates.
"First of all, you've never beaten me anywhere else, and secondly... why are you taking it so seriously just a cooking exam?"
Uchiha Ryo thought he could just make any dish to make and make sure it passed, since he only needed to perfectly replicate his mentor's movements to copy his dishes.
Miyuki Shirogane chuckled. "This isn't an easy cooking exam! If I win, I'll get access to the school's cooking classroom and a free meal card for the cafeteria! I won't lose!"
So that's how it is. In order to save money on lunch, Shirogane Miyuki wanted a free meal card for the cafeteria (valid for one year).
"Didn't you make your own lunchbox?...Why are you taking meal tickets?"
"We should try the school cafeteria every now and then, after all, this is Shuchiin University."
That's true. The food at Shuchiin's cafeteria is probably the best in all of Tokyo. After all, the appetites of these young masters and ladies are not easily satisfied by ordinary meals.
"Besides, meal tickets can also be used at the middle school, so I can give them to Kei even if I don't have time to go to the cafeteria."
As they were talking, the members of Class A entered the classroom, led by Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka. Yukinoshita, on the other hand, consciously came to Chitanda's side, probably already aware of their group of three.
Kaguya Shinomiya smiled slightly. "Although I'm not particularly interested in the prize, as a member of the Shinomiya family, I will definitely win!"
Fujiwara Chika nodded vigorously, "Go Kaguya-san! Go Hayasaka-san! I'm right behind you cheering you on!"
Chitanda Eru raised her fist, "Then we won't lose! Go for it, Yukino, Ryo-kun!"
Each team returned to their respective cooking stations. Hongo Hayato of the Shirogane Miyuki team sighed and looked at Uchiha Ryo not far away with a hint of envy.
"Shirogane-kun, we're not bad either, so why is Uchiha-kun so popular?"
Hongo Hayato is considered a top student in his grade, but... I'm so envious.
On the other side, Toyosaki Saburo chuckled, "Hongo, he's first in his grade, an all-around athlete, and handsome too. What do you have left in a crowd besides your Shuchiin uniform?"
"You bastard! I'm not going to hold it against you. By the way, who do you think Uchiha-kun will choose?"
Hongo Hayato, who was present, looked at Shirogane Miyuki and asked, "Shirogane, you're closest to the Uchiha clan, and you're both in the student council. Between Chitanda and Yukinoshita, who do you think you'd choose?"
Shirogane Miyuki shook his head. "I can't say for sure..."
Hongo Hayato stroked his chin, a serious expression on his face resembling that of a detective. "I think it would be Chitanda-san. She's so gentle to everyone, and her refined and dignified appearance makes her the perfect wife!"
Toyosaki Saburo also said seriously, "Unfortunately, my guess is different from yours. Yukinoshita is also very outstanding, and since we're both in the student council's general affairs department, we must be spending every day together. An all-powerful, aloof goddess is the best, okay!"
"What do you know! Being cute, gentle, and having a good figure is the key! Although Yukinoshita from Class A is pretty, she's obviously too flat-chested."
Hongo Hayato is a staunch supporter of the "Ai-ryo" (a type of car) movement. These days, even flat cars are pretty good, but only big ones are truly romantic!
"Hey, you two are so rude! I suggest you shut up and be quiet."
Shirogane Miyuki quietly took a step back. He vaguely sensed a murderous aura. Even though he knew that the murderous aura was not directed at him, those sharp eyes still made his spine go cold.
However, the owner of those eyes was not the subject of discussion. Yukinoshita and Chitanda did not hear what the two said, and as for Uchiha Ryo, he was too lazy to pay attention to these male classmates who could only talk nonsense because they couldn't get what they wanted.
However, the young lady of the Shinomiya family behind her, who was extremely conscious of her figure, didn't think so... So what if she's big! Who in this world says that being big is romantic!
Hayasaka Ai tried to comfort Kaguya-sama beside her, then saw the idle Fujiwara Chika and immediately joined Kaguya-sama's camp.
