I had been skipping on my cooking ever since the first day, and that was a golden opportunity to pick it up again. Sensei would kill me if word of that skipping reached the Amakusa, and I very much appreciated breathing. "[color=00aeef][b]Ah, I don't really have anyone to bring along anyway.[/b][/color]" I answered as he asked if I would bring anyone else. As Seiji went for the vending machine, I took the opportunity to eat my sandwich and scan my surroundings a bit. A commotion seemed to be brewing on the other corner of the cafeteria, but I resolved not to interfere. It was probably just ice stripper up to her antics yet again. When Seiji returned and poured tea into his rice, I could only think "why didn't I think of that?". I was pretty sure that beat my sandwich in taste. Seiji's question about what I wanted to make caught me by surprise. "[color=00aeef][b]It's not that there's something in particular I want to make...[/b][/color]" I started answering and bit my lip. How would I explain sensei's cooking training obsession without seeming insane? "[color=00aeef][b]Let me show you.[/b][/color]" I grabbed my bag which had been resting against my seat and searched for that notebook in it. Thankfully, I had indeed brought it with me. "[color=00aeef][b]Take a look at this. I need to cook at least something from that once per day.[/b][/color]" I offered Seiji the notebook. The notebook seemed to be just like any other, but the first page was where things started getting weird with the title "ULTRA TRAINING COOKBOOK". It contained a large collection of instructions on how to cook different dishes. The ingredient lists were normal, but the instructions were insanely specific. For instance, a certain recipe would ask for the meat to be precisely cut into cubes of 1.5cm size. Another one would instruct to slice half an onion twelve times in less than 5 seconds. All recipes in it were graded according to difficulty and how good training material they were. It was sensei's idea of "training" in all things. [@PKMNB0Y]
