Glowing Dish

"Where did you get those artifacts Lou?" Alice who cant stop her curiosity cant help but finally ask.

Lou loo kat her then smiled making some girls blush seeing his sunny sid and handsome face.

"Don't smile you pervert! Just tell us where did you get those artifacts?!" Alice angry ask while trying to hide her blushing cheeks

But its useless, her pale-colored skin is too much good to hide the pink color coming from her cheeks.

"Those tools are given and need to get back after the match,"

"So someone lend it to you."

"That's right." Lou nodded.

"But still, that's absurd, lending a student those artifacts, are they not aware the consequence if suddenly someone robs it to you?"

"Dont worry, no one can ever get this because it's already soul bound to me, even holding it is impossible."

"Idiot! I know htat of course, what if not rob but kill? Do you think this thing is not going to happen if they know what treasure you have here?"

Lou look at Alice and helplessly said," Imagine a theft rob a set of kitchenware? Do you think it's funny to hear that?"

"Lou is right Alice, n one will going to think about robing it because its an artifact for cooking, its almost impossible to hide it if ever someone successfully get it from Lou."

"There's a countless number of weapon artifact but cooking artifact is only counted in the finger, and cooking artifact is useless for more than 99% of the people lin the earth."

"That's right, robing someone like me who have a grandmother who is S Rank Hero just for a couple of cooking tools is idiotic,"

"Silent the judging is about to start."

...….

Before the hour ends, the three students finally compile their dish at the same time, their dish and made from Autumn Purple Fin Saury using their own imagination and creativity.

The first dish is Ryo, its called Autumn Purple Fin Saury Cartoccio.

A dish similar to an acqua pazza utilizing the usage of Heat Resistant film, multiple shellfish, and herb butter to create a delicious pacific saury dish that submerges anyone in an ocean of rich flavor and aroma. It showcases the bond that Ryō and Alice have developed over the years since their childhood.

Al cartoccio in Italian is a method of cooking in which the food is put into a folded pouch or parcel and then baked. The parcel is typically made from folded parchment paper, but other material, such as a paper bag or aluminum foil, may be used. The parcel holds in moisture to steam the food. The pocket is created by overlapping circles of aluminum foil and parchment paper and then folding them tightly around the food to create a seal. A papillote should be opened at the table to allow people to smell the aroma when it opens.

The term acqua pazza is used in Italian cuisine to refer to a recipe for poached white fish or to simply refer to the lightly herbed broth used to poach it. There are many different variations of this sauce, from light broths, to thick tomato-based sauces, which have been found on all types of seafood, and even chicken. This dish is comparable to other Italian dishes, such as, Cioppino, cacciucco and brodetto.

The ample deliciousness of the ultra-fresh seafood is rampaging to the judge's mouth.

Its so fresh that the Soury's fat is so seet like butter melting to your mouth, with the splendid color of the food, the freshness of the fish, and the unique way of cooking it.

Next is Hayama and his Scorched Autumn Purple Fin Saury Carpaccio.

Akira has dark skin and long, white hair that is mostly tied in a ponytail when he is cooking. His bangs are neatly swept to the right. He also has green eyes and is considerably tall and handsome.

He wears a dark chef's uniform. In his youth, Akira's hair was shorter but still retained his side-swept bangs. His clothes were much dirtier considering the living conditions of the neighborhood he grew up in.

Although originally an hors d'oeuvre dish, Akira used a hand-held blowtorch to unleash the aroma of Kaeshi used to coat the Pacific saury, also because of the kaeshi it can make it easier to be properly charred.

Although he is known for his mastery of blending spices, Akira solely used allspice, creating not an hors d'oeuvre, but a full course meal. Akira shows the power of aroma "reduction" to show the full power of just one spice.

As mentioned, Carpaccio is an Italian hors d'oeuvre. Carpaccio mainly utilizes raw meat or fish, pounded or sliced thin.

Using a torch, Hayma carefully burns it to perfection adding different kind of species upgrading the taste of the ultra-rare fish.

And the last is Yukihi Soma and his dish Ojiya-Style Autumn Purple Fin Saury Takikomi Gohan.

Soma's dish for the Annual Tōtsuki Autumn Election Finals. Soma used rice bran to allow him to forge his own pacific saury flavor rather than rely on the taste of a fresh saury like his opponents. Combined with a special dashi using soy milk, Soma created an ojiya styled dish that went toe-to-toe with Hayama's and Ryo's dishes.

And surprisingly, Soma actually has rare Time Magic, he using rice bran to allow him to forge, Autumn Purple Fin Saury and Time Magic, he made the fermentation process even faster and longer.

Base on Lou's observation, Soma actually fermentation the fish for more than half of year, an incredible amount of time just for a single fish.

But still he create an original way of fermentation a treasured fish without losing the original freshness of it.

"I'm hungry." Alice suddenly said after seeing the judge eating in relish.

Rina look at Lou who keeping the fire open and ask," Is it done?"

He look at them and nodded, actually the fish si already done, he use multiple Magic just to cook a single fish.

"It's done, lets try it."

Lou open the pot and cook a fish cover with salt, he carefully put it on a plate while slowly removing the moon salt covering it.

With a spoon he gently tap the inner layer of the salt crust and the aroma explode like a bomb inside of the hall.

"!!!!!" The Judge.

"!!!" The Contestant

"!!!" The Student.

"Incredible…. The fish- the fish is actually shinning!!:" Alice's mouth turns to 0 seeing the fish is actually shining in gold color.

This special effect can only see in Anime and Fantasy but they actually witness a food that actually shines in gold color.

"Have some, its Bake Autumn PurpleFin Saury in Moon Salt Crust"
