Kira didn't know why Erza appeared here, but in this situation, the reason was no longer important. He just hoped that nothing would happen in the next game.

Erza on the stage was wearing an exquisite and hot lace hollowed-out chef's outfit, with her fiery red hair tied up high, holding an eighty-centimeter-long large spoon, and was concentrating on the stove.

Cook delicious food locally.

Even though she wasn't wearing armor, she was still looking majestic and looked like she was treating the arena as a battlefield.

Thinking of how Erza had participated in the 'Dessert Contest' without hesitation when she was in Kirtina, Kira couldn't help but secretly complained, "This guy really... likes to compete in any competition...

…”

"But that's all I have to do!"

In this regard, Kira has a clear understanding of himself. After all, he also likes these activities. Otherwise, he would not always hold competitions. Isn't it all just to watch the fun?

"Since Erza is here, Natsu and the others should be here too?"

Thinking of this, Kira scanned the stage and off stage one by one, and finally found those familiar figures in a corner of the crowd.

The restless Natsu, the greedy and drooling Habi, as well as Lucy, Gray, Wendy, Xia Lulu and others, there are many of them. In addition, there is Brandi who is the tour guide who brought them here.

What, and Timaria, who looks no different from the third party inserted between Lucy and Brandish, but is still deliberately trying to seduce Wendy.

"How did the two of them get together with Erza and the others?" Kira was surprised.

At this moment, several people noticed Kira's gaze and turned around to say hello to him, with a warm attitude, just like in the guild.

However, seeing their attitude, Kira's heart skipped a beat, and a very bad feeling came over him - the last time he felt like this was when his little vault was squandered by Urrutia a few days ago.

When there is light.

After stiffly waving to Natsu and the others, nodding, and smiling, Kira's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and he mustered up all his energy to pay attention to the changes around him. This was the limit of what he could do now!

This is the Albarez Empire, not Magnolia! The people here have no idea of ​​the destructive power of Fairy Tail's magicians, and the arena has no defensive measures in place, just in case Natsu or

Erza, Gray and the others accidentally got into trouble at the scene. That scene...

Tsk tsk...this city can't afford it!

Erza was one of the 77 people who passed the first five levels. At this moment, she also saw that Kira had noticed her, so she turned her head and gave him a shallow smile.

Looking through the tens of meters of air between the two of them, Kira immediately received the silent words from Erza: "Don't cheat! I want to win the championship with dignity, and gain honor with my true ability!"

"

Since returning from the last dessert competition, Erza has to go to the most famous restaurant in Magnolia every three days to study. At the same time, she has practiced knife skills and her cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, so for this competition,

She has full confidence.

As a 'Fairy Queen', she will never fall in the same place twice.

With real ability?

The corner of Kira's mouth twitched, and she growled in her heart: "Are you kidding me?! How can you, a half-hearted cooking enthusiast who is a magician, compare with a group of chefs who are immersed in cooking?!"

But then I thought about it again. Erza could come this far. It seemed that she was quite capable, and this also showed that the chefs in several nearby cities were probably not of high quality.

From this point of view, the level of the first Glory of God seems to be a bit high...

In the previous five levels, the questions were voted by the audience and covered a wide range. It is difficult for the chef profession to cover everything, so more people were eliminated.

This is actually not difficult to understand. For example, some chefs are good at cooking seafood and advance to the second level, but they may stop at the third level because they are not good at cooking meat. This does not mean that they are not good at cooking, but they just happen to meet someone who is not good at cooking.

It's just bad luck in the field.

But the remaining chefs who have passed the five levels in a row have undoubtedly experienced many battles. Even if they do not surpass others in one aspect, at least they meet the average level of each category.

If we use the analogy of learning, then these five levels are to eliminate those who are partial to subjects. Even if a student can get full marks in mathematics, but his English fails, he still cannot pass the level.

In comparison, the next three levels are to select the talents with the highest scores in a single subject.

Kira came as the mayor's assistant to represent Irene. She was an official figure and the main person in charge of this competition, so she was naturally the first one to propose the question.

"Ahem...my topic is 'Ramen', and the time limit is also 20 minutes!"

If you want to ask which ramen in anime is the most famous, it must be Ichiraku Ramen from Hokage next door. The ramen in Fairy Tail world is not to say that it is mediocre, it can only be said that it has no highlights.

But it’s no wonder, this is not a gourmet show, and ramen does not provide the spiritual or material needs of some of the protagonists, so naturally it is not famous.

In ramen, dough, knife skill, soup, and seasoning are the four most important things, and this competition uses ingredients uniformly provided by suppliers, even if some of the chefs have some magical secret recipes passed down from their ancestors.

No, so it is the most basic test.

Soon, portions of hot ramen came out of the pot. The cooked noodles were long, thin and tender. They were exposed to the air and fully cooled by the chefs. After draining the original juice, they swirled them into a ball and poured them into the bowl, adding a few pieces.

Meat slices, fish plates and eggs are added with chopped green onion, coriander and other seasonings, and finally the essence of ramen and soup are poured into it.

The rich aroma immediately made the audience howl - their stomachs growling - with Kira screaming the loudest.

At this time, Kira was almost moved to tears: Finally... finally there is something to eat!

He thought that as a judge today, he would be able to enjoy the dishes of the famous chefs around him, so he came here without even eating breakfast. Who would have thought that his stomach has not been full since the start of the competition!

Although he had tried many dishes before, in order to maintain his image, he only took a small bite each time of seafood, poultry, meat, fried rice, and fruits, and was not full at all!

In order to fill the emptiness in my stomach, I had no choice but to eat something that was very substantial in every bite, like 'ramen'.

When the ramen is eaten with the soup, an indescribable warmth instantly spreads from the stomach to the whole body. It is a wonderful feeling like drinking sweet spring in the desert, eating hot pot in the snow, and encountering light in the dark.

After eating the ramen, power continued to flow out of his body. Kira was immersed in the happiness of having her hunger satisfied, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

But on the other side...

"Contestant, I'm very sorry, you were eliminated!"

The food assistant looked at Erza's bright red hair curiously, but he said the coldest words in the world.

"Why...is this happening..."

Upon hearing the news that she had been eliminated, Erza's whole body turned to stone instantly. Her expression of disbelief and surprise was fixed on her pretty face stained with two drops of brown soup, and she was speechless for a long time.

In the audience, Brandish and Timaria were laughing, Natsu and Gray were sighing, Lucy, Wendy, Xia Lulu were feeling sorry, and Habib was crying.

"The judges think that your control over the heat is not enough. Look, the noodles here are all connected together and this piece is not yet cooked. This kind of food is unqualified!"

"No... unqualified..." Erza murmured softly, losing all strength and falling backwards.

"Yes, it doesn't fit...Eh?! What's wrong with you, this player?! Doctor!"

Is there a doctor?

"

Erza did not persist until the doctor arrived and left. Although it was a pity not to win the championship, since she was eliminated, she had to admit that she, the 'Fairy Queen', was not someone who could not afford to lose.

As Gray and the others couldn't stop laughing, Erza was reluctantly pulled off the stage. Before leaving the stage, she cast a spiteful look at Kira.

Kira, who was eating noodles diligently, suddenly trembled.

"Why do I feel a chill on my back...Forget it, filling your stomach is more important!
Chapter completed!
