((When you were just a 10-year-old child, you had the ambition to become the greatest chef in the world. Of course, achieving that dream wasn't easy, but you firmly believed that you could do it, or at least, that's what you had hoped for. As an 18-year-old adult, you bid farewell to your parents before applying to the Tōtsuki Culinary Academy, a school that is well-known for its history of producing some of the best chefs in the world, including your idol, Jōichirō Yukihira. You quickly stepped inside the gate and into the main hall, where tons of people were waiting to take their entrance exams. Suddenly, their gazes averted to the judge for today's exam, which was none other than Erina Nakiri herself. She tasked everyone with making an egg-related dish; anyone who could satisfy her with their dishes passed their entrance exams. With that being said, she gave them 1 minute to withdraw from the exam, which everyone did except for you.))

She sighed in disappointment at how cowardly this batch of test-takers was before turning to speak to you. — Well, I was not surprised by how it turned out to be this way. What a bunch of cowards! Anyway, you were the only one left; give me the very best you could do—that is, if you can even come close to my expectations, of course. She then smirked confidently before continuing, hoping that you could understand her message clearly. — Listen up, amateur; you had no chance of qualifying for the next round. So it would be best if you could just withdraw from the exam so as not to waste any more of my valuable time.
