A winner in life at Tōtsuki academy

Chapter 1: CHAPTER 1: Damian Gray



In a big mansion, an old man said in a deep voice, "You brat bastard! Come here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome black-haired boy appeared. The boy was dressed in casual clothes, with a ponytail tied in his hair. The delicate face could make women a little envious, but he still managed to exude a masculine aura.

"Old man, what happened?"

"I'm fine, have you learned all the cooking skills I taught you before?"

"Not yet, I can only say that I've mastered most of it, but there's still a long way to go before I've learned everything."

The old man nodded and said, "Well, you're being too modest. Your skills aren't among the strongest in the current culinary world, but there's no problem competing with someone at the top level."

"Okay! As expected of my heir. But... my deadline is approaching. I can feel my time approaching, and I have nothing left to teach you."

(What are you? Master Oogway?)

The young man said softly, "What do I need to do?"

"I'm already old, I have no friends that need to be informed, I have no children, you are like my own grandson, after I die, my property will be left to you, but, you have to promise me one thing."

The boy asked suspiciously: "What is it?"

"I have a hunch that a lot of interesting things are going to happen shortly. What I want you to do is... keep winning! Whether it's in cooking! Or in life! You have to win! Always win!"

The young man said aloud, "I know, I will win, but the life you are talking about is..."

"I was obsessed with cooking and martial arts my whole life, and when I reached middle age, I became addicted to music. I have a lot of wealth and achievements in life, but I have no family, you are my only family."

"So I don't want you to follow in my footsteps. I hope you can treat cooking as a weapon for yourself. Don't get too immersed in it. You have to have your own life and your own family."

The teenager froze for a moment and said, "So what you mean is..."

The old man frowned and said, "Damn! Am I not being clear enough? Competition is a good thing, especially to evolve your skills! But remember to fall in love, to have a real life! In the future, When you get married and have children, if you don't bring at least one of my grandchildren to visit my grave I swear I will rise from my grave and beat you!"

The teenager also twitched the corners of his mouth and then nodded and said, "I understand if there is..."

"If there is? What the hell are you talking about?! I don't care how many there are!"

"Uh...I have a hard time believing you're obsessed with this."

"It doesn't matter, I have arranged a trip for you. Tomorrow, you will be transferred to the Totsuki Academy in Japan. There is a dormitory there. So you don't need to prepare a house."

The boy froze for a moment and said, "Eh? Tōtsuki?"

"Huh? Or what?"

The corner of the boy's eyes twitched and he shook his head and stopped talking. The old man smiled and said, "Okay, I'm too lazy to continue this conversation, go make dinner and let's have a drink."

"What do you eat?"

"Do anything as long as it's good!"

"Eh? And what do you want to drink?x

"Damn it, kid! Just go!"

After the young man left, the old man said with a sigh of relief, "It would be great if I had met this stinky kid a few years ago, maybe I could still see my grandchildren..."

Just over 40 minutes later, the young man returned with the meal.

-------

Knowing that the sky was getting dark, the young man opened his eyes and stretched, only to realize that there was no one else around.

The young man has lived with this old man for ten years and also knows his character very well.

He doesn't need to guess to know that he left quietly and without making a sound.

He knows very well that the old man is running towards the old house now, which is very far from here. Rumor has it that only an old friend lives there.

There was no farewell letter. There is only a letter on the table, two keys to the safe, and a set of keys. Another key and a password, and finally a note and a letter of introduction.

The boy sighed and said, "I didn't expect that... Tōtsuki? If I look at it that way... This is Shokugeki no Soma, isn't it? That's quite interesting..."

"But the old man just left. In the end, to this day I don't know what his name is... But I was taken care of a lot by him, grandpa..."

After the boy finished speaking, he said softly, "Huh? If it's Shokugeki no Soma... I'm still a first year high school transfer student, which episode am I in, it won't be the same as Yukihira Sōma ..."

The young man felt a headache thinking about that episode, not because of how powerful that episode was, but because that episode was very troublesome and very unhappy. He could encounter anything, and although his abilities he could easily deal with it, it is still a headache.

"Forget it, let's check if there are any strange existences... huh? Kendo celebrities..."

"Forget it, I'd better stop this, the more I research this, the more painful my head will get."

The teenager leaned back in his chair as he spoke, staring blankly at the ceiling, before standing up and walking towards his room upstairs after a long while.

He needs to pack his bags and, by the way, he also needs to prepare to communicate with his new colleagues when he arrives tomorrow.

While the young man was cleaning himself, he heard a mechanical voice, hearing this the young man was stunned for a moment and said in doubt, "Eh? Where did that sound come from?"

[Host Damian Gray has been linked to the system, and the perfect life system has been completely activated.]

"System? Like from that manga? That looks amazing..."

"Is there a package for newbies?"

"Open it."

[Congratulations to the host for gaining enhanced stamina, proficiency in all languages, a set of high-quality kitchen utensils, and a skill chest (skill type must be specified)]

"Eh? Although I can speak French, Japanese, and English, which I think is more than enough, if I am proficient in all of them, it will be much better, especially since I won't need to work hard to learn...High-quality kitchen utensils, it seems like the world is dominated by cooking, like in Shokugeki no Soma."

"As for that chest, what do you mean by: 'The type of Skill must be specified'?"

[The host can choose from combat, literature and art, auxiliaries, props, and life, among which there are several other subtypes."

"Uh...I want to know which one of them has the cooking skills?"

[Lifestyle.]

"Then open the trunk in the culinary category in the lifestyle category."

[The host opened the skill chest]

[The host has obtained the cooking skill: Ittou Shura]

Damian was stunned for a moment and then slowly a question mark appeared above his head, is this a cooking skill? Although this seems very powerful, but... isn't it a bit biased? It doesn't even seem like a culinary skill..."
