Chapter 1572: Teresa's Fair Evaluation!
The same situation appeared in the Tokyo Dome.
The dishes in front of the seven judges, Jessica, Zeff, and the others burst forth with dazzling radiance the moment their covers were lifted.
This sight caused Charlotte Linlin's eyes to widen and her pupils to tremble.
The reactions of the other people from the World were exactly the same as hers.
There really are glowing dishes!
This was also the inner voice of the audience from various worlds in front of the screen.
Only the enthusiasm of the live audience was neither high nor low.
After all, while glowing dishes were rare for civilians.
In this world, it was common sense for the cuisine of excellent chefs to exhibit various anomalies.
And Nakiri Erina was the current Fleet Admiral of Totsuki Academy.
Her father, Azami Nakiri, was the previous Fleet Admiral of Totsuki Academy.
Her brother, Asahi Nakiri, had not only defeated Saiba Joichiro but was also the third-place winner of the previous THE BLUE Tournament.
Therefore, it was very normal for the dishes they teamed up to create to produce such a scene; it would be strange if they didn't.
Just like before, when the dishes of Jessica, Streusen, and Ramsay had no radiance, the audience of the Shokugeki World widely believed that their quality was substandard.
But only Saiba Joichiro, Yukihira Soma, Nakiri Erina, Azami Nakiri, Asahi Nakiri, and other people who had tasted them knew the truth.
After their discussion.
They believed that the dish "Water Dragon Oil Pan-Fried Lantern Fish Dragon Liver with Sand Dragon Milt Sauce".
The ingredients were excellent, the taste was excellent, and it was clear the chef's skill was quite good.
However, they couldn't feel the chef's personal concept and spirit.
According to Yukihira Soma, it lacked 'soul'!
Jessica and the other two did not inject their spirit during the cooking process.
This resulted in the dish not forming a soul the moment it was completed.
Naturally, it wouldn't produce any anomaly or radiance, nor would it further improve the quality of the dish.
In other words, in their opinion, Jessica and the other two failed to perfectly unleash the potential of the ingredients.
No, strictly speaking, they failed to unleash a taste beyond one hundred percent!
Chefs in the Shokugeki World believe that mere skill can at most make a dish's taste reach one hundred percent.
But by injecting spirit and concept, the dish can transcend its limits and become divine!
And this kind of concept is something that chefs in the World, and even other worlds, do not possess.
"Wow!!!"
Charlotte Linlin covered her cheek with both hands, closed her eyes blissfully, and exclaimed repeatedly.
"Mamamama~~~"
"What incredible delicious food this is! There is such delicious food in the world!"
Minister Molotov of the Foreign Affairs Department shook his head and sighed: "Just one bite of the fish ball made me see a beautiful angel singing hymns in my ear!"
Minister Hobson of the Ministry of Justice of the Otherworld Strategy Committee, while immersed in the deliciousness, commented:
"The moment this scallop meat and salmon entered my mouth, I felt like I was freely drifting in the sea..."
But just as they were giving such high evaluations.
Nakiri Mana, the mother of Nakiri Erina, the wife of Azami Nakiri, and the stepmother of Asahi Nakiri, looked at the dish on the plate with a calm expression.
"It's not bad, but it's not amazing. At most, it saves me from needing an injection of nutrient solution."
President Gordon nodded: "Indeed, there's nothing wrong with this dish, but it can't suppress the freshness brought by the previous dish."
Jessica, Streusen, Zeff, and the other two nearby were also tasting.
When they heard the judges' evaluations, they exchanged glances.
"What do you think?" Zeff asked.
Jessica, the head chef of this Shokugeki, answered without hesitation: "Exactly the opposite. I think their dish is more amazing than ours."
"Hmm, if this old man were the referee, I would give the points to this dish."
The oldest, Ramsay, said firmly.
"The fact that they can use their cooking skill to make these ordinary ingredients taste as delicious as, or even slightly better than, ours, already shows their level is higher than ours. It's just their knife skills were slightly worse."
This was also Asahi Nakiri's fault for not using the Greedy Wolf Pot, otherwise, he could have compensated for the gap in fundamentals.
"Now comes the exciting moment, please, seven judges, give your decision!"
"If you believe the Nakiri Erina side wins, please press the red button! If you believe the Jessica side wins, please press the blue button!"
Executive Ann, acting as the host, announced loudly under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
In an instant, the entire venue fell silent.
Five thousand audience members held their breath, waiting for the Shokugeki result to appear.
The first person to press a button was Nakiri Mana.
The blue light, lit up!
She showed no concerns about the relationship between herself and the three Nakiri Erina.
Because at this moment, she was neither a mother nor a wife, but a judge, who would only give the judgment in her heart.
Next was President Gordon of the WGO.
The blue light, lit up!
This caused an uproar among the entire audience; they couldn't understand it at all.
Why would a dish with no radiance or anomaly receive the recognition of these two...
Minister Molotov, red light, lit up!
Prime Minister Tagawa Shiwei, blue light, lit up!
Minister Hobson, red light, lit up!
Minister West, red light, lit up!
Finally, only Charlotte Linlin remained, looking conflicted.
She did indeed find both delicious.
But in the end, she chose the more novel taste.
She slammed down the red button.
"Review concluded!"
"Four to three!"
"The winner of the first round of this World Shokugeki is Nakiri Erina, Azami Nakiri, and Asahi Nakiri!!!"
The voice of Host Ann echoed throughout the Tokyo Dome.
[Roar——————]
Deafening cheers exploded like thunder, everyone was desperately clapping and screaming.
But no one expected the voting result to be so peculiar.
The four judges from the World Government side voted for the three Nakiri Erina.
While the three judges from the Shokugeki World side voted for Jessica, Streusen, and Ramsay.
It should be noted that before this, many people thought that among the seven judges, four were from the World Government side, which would lead to unfair treatment for Nakiri Erina and the others.
But the current result was exactly the opposite; it seemed that Zeff and the others were the ones being targeted.
At the same time.
Im on Noah's Ark felt that this result had nothing to do with targeting anyone.
It was entirely because both sides' judges were used to eating the dishes of their own world.
Suddenly eating the dishes from the other world simply made them feel amazed.
However, this sense of astonishment would inevitably gradually decrease as the match continued.
"Teresa, which dish do you think was better?"
Im suddenly looked at his new empress.
Because she was the only one present who was not familiar with the dishes of both sides.
Therefore, the judgment she gave would be relatively more fair.
"This..."
Facing the gazes gathered on her, Teresa thought for a few seconds before giving her answer.
"The previous one!"
"Oh?"
Im raised an eyebrow.
Historia, Esdeath, and Stussy around him were also astonished.
Because in their opinion, the current dish was clearly more delicious.
"Although this one brings a stronger feeling to the spirit, purely in terms of texture, for me, the previous one was still more delicious and more unique!"
Teresa's tone became more firm as she spoke, then she smiled slightly:
"Of course, if they could be combined, it would be even more perfect."
Im nodded thoughtfully, thinking to himself:
"It seems Nakiri Erina's 'potent cooking' wasn't strong enough."
"Let's see the strength of 'Medicine King' Yukihira Soma later..."
