Coming to the riverside, Yuuki observed the fish in the water. After spotting a fish near the bank, he raised his mop handle—
—BAM!
With a loud sound, like a depth charge explosion, a splash of water erupted. The nearby students were all startled by the sudden boom, and the fish in the river scattered frantically.
"What was that?! What exploded?!"
Many students were frightened—that loud noise was very similar to an explosion.
But when they looked towards where the sound came from, they saw Yuuki holding a fish in one hand and a mop handle in the other.
Yuuki couldn't be bothered with using a fishing rod, nor did he want to try scooping up fish, so he just improvised and clubbed a fish—yes, literally.
Moreover, Yuuki applied his force evenly across the fish's body and the water's surface. So, the fish obtained this way didn't show any external damage.
Normally, with this method, the fish's eyes might be knocked out, and its internal structure would be messed up. But Yuuki naturally didn't have such concerns.
With his super sense of touch and Food Honor, he could ensure that the fish was unharmed, even while clubbing it.
"It's Yuuki-sama catching fish! What an incredible way to catch fish! He caught it with just one swing!"
Watching Yuuki's actions, some students got ideas. Compared to patiently waiting with a fishing rod, Yuuki's method was undoubtedly more efficient—
—However, they overlooked several things.
One, they didn't have a stick like Yuuki's—Yuuki had taken a mop handle.
They only had fishing rods—too thin and too light. Trying to mimic Yuuki's technique with a fishing rod would be pure fantasy.
And then there was their own problem: Yuuki had the enhancement of Food Honor, so his strike was accurate, forceful, and decisive.
But other students lacked such control. Finally, even if they successfully clubbed a fish, they'd likely damage it internally, making the final dish's quality much worse.
So, they couldn't possibly imitate Yuuki...
....
Watching their attempts, Soma Yukihira helplessly tossed his fishing rod aside. With those guys causing such a commotion, it would be a miracle if he caught anything! The fish had been scared away.
"Yukihira-kun, what should we do? Should we also try hitting the fish with the fishing rod like them?"
The student who had been following Soma Yukihira asked.
Back in school, he had enjoyed quite a few benefits thanks to Soma Yukihira—basically, he could just assist Soma and get good grades.
"You can't possibly club a fish with a fishing rod. Those guys are idiots. Looks like we need a more direct approach!"
Soma Yukihira took off his shoes and waded into the river. He clearly couldn't catch anything by fishing normally, and as for Yuuki's method, he had seen something similar on TV—he knew it required considerable strength and skill.
For a beginner to catch a fish like that, they'd need some insane luck. So, Soma Yukihira could only choose the most direct method: catching it by hand.
Fortunately, he had caught fish in rivers when he was little, so catching them wasn't too difficult for him.
And right now, the other students were actually helping him. Their flailing around had scared the fish into another area.
With the fish concentrated together, it became even easier for Soma Yukihira to catch them. Soon, he also successfully caught a fish and left with his teammate.
....
Yuuki, after catching the fish, didn't leave right away but entered the woods.
The dish he was going to make also required other ingredients, most importantly, chicken.
"YUUKI!"
While searching for ingredients, Yuuki encountered Megumi Tadokoro's group. They had already gathered quite a few ingredients.
In these woods, Megumi was practically buffed—finding whatever ingredients she needed was easy for her.
"Megumi—looks like you've almost got everything you need!"
Yuuki said, looking at Megumi.
"Yeah, we only need two more ingredients. What about you, Yuuki?" Megumi, seeing Yuuki holding a bucket with a fish in one hand and the stick in the other, asked curiously.
"I'm still missing one ingredient. I'm looking for it now... Oh, found it!"
As he spoke, Yuuki threw the stick in his hand. Although the mop handle wasn't a spear, when thrown with his strength, not many creatures could withstand it.
The stick directly hit a chicken over a dozen meters away, hitting its head with such force that it was completely deformed. Naturally, the chicken was dead.
Yuuki needed the chicken meat, not its head, so he hadn't held back at all.
"SO... SO AMAZING!"
Megumi's teammate's eyes widened, watching the scene in disbelief. If that stick hit a person with that much force—she didn't even dare to imagine what would happen.
"You're as amazing as always, Yuuki!"
Although Megumi Tadokoro was also a bit surprised, Yuuki's recent actions had made her almost numb to surprise. So, she was only mildly surprised.
"Megumi, I've got everything I need. I'll head back first. Good luck!"
Yuuki said after picking up the dead chicken and the mop handle.
Hearing this, Megumi Tadokoro quickly nodded and continued gathering the remaining ingredients with her teammate.
With only two more left, she would finish soon, which would certainly be faster than those students who were still fishing.
"You already gathered all your ingredients?! But how did you do that? I didn't see you with any fishing gear! And that chicken—"
Hinako Inui was also surprised when she saw Yuuki return.
Yuuki was way too fast, and he hadn't even taken any fishing gear, yet he came back with a fish.
As for that chicken, its head was completely deformed...
Looking at the blood-stained mop handle and recalling how Yuuki had nearly whacked Takumi Aldini's head with it earlier, Hinako Inui could already picture how that chicken was caught.
It could only be said that she still underestimated Yuuki. Yuuki hadn't caught that chicken at close range, but by throwing the mop handle—hitting the chicken's head from a distance of over a dozen meters...
With Food Honor enhancing his precision and power, even without Inferno, Yuuki was incredibly dangerous.
