Chapter 353 - Chapter 353. Tonio and Supernatural Cuisine

Around late at night, approaching the early hours of the morning, a medium-sized earthquake occurred with the coast of Morioh Town as the epicenter.

The magnitude was not too high, and with the Shinomiya Group's early warning, no casualties or economic losses occurred.

This was already the limit of what Gojo Satoru could do. After all, once the leylines had been adjusted by someone, no matter how one tried to restore them, there would still be some impact. There had to be an outlet for the changes in the leylines to vent.

However, compared to the original situation of at least a large-scale earthquake, this was already the best result.

Moreover, if someone possessed eyes that could see through the surface of the earth, they would clearly see it.

Deep underground in Morioh Town, those mysterious meteorite fragments that fell around Morioh Town an unknown number of years ago, stimulated by this leyline anomaly, became active again after a long time.

If the leylines were really allowed to run wild and cause a large-scale earthquake, it might really have caused a wondrous sight like the Wall Eyes to appear in Morioh Town.

It was just that unlike awakening a Stand with an arrow, which resulted in death if not awakened, the process of these alien meteorite fragments causing people to awaken Stands was inherently much milder. It could even be said that this power acted on those chosen people silently.

Therefore, no one realized that any changes had occurred in their bodies in the first instance.

Only when the power of the Stand was fully stimulated would these awakened people realize that a brand new power had appeared in their bodies.

As for those girls who specially came to Morioh Town, their original travel plans were more or less affected by the earthquake.

Many places were temporarily closed due to the earthquake, and they couldn't even go to the seaside freely.

However, for these girls, they themselves only came with the idea of trying their luck.

The main reason they came was that this gathering was also a large-scale offline gathering in which more than half of the girls holding diaries participated.

Actually, not too many people came to the previous few gatherings. At least those girls outside Tokyo couldn't participate.

Only this kind of three-day, three-night trip gave them the opportunity to come together and join the fun.

Under such circumstances, being able to meet Tonio Trussardi, a Stand user who awakened a Stand relying on his consummate culinary skills, could be considered a worthwhile trip.

This Stand user from Italy, after getting Morioh Town's special-grade abalone, spent just one day to make a dream-like work that could be called perfect.

Even in Yotsuya Miko's eyes, the moment the other party served the dish, a not particularly obvious light radiated from above the dish.

After injecting the power of the Stand into it, not only could the vast majority of currently known diseases in the world be cured by this dish in an extremely violent manner.

It could even produce no small buff to the consumer's constitution.

Although this buff was not very obvious, probably just an increase of about 3-5%.

But this abalone dish itself was already incredibly delicious, and it also came with the effect of enhancing the constitution. For the girls who came to Morioh Town, being able to enjoy this dish was already an unexpected joy.

Shiina Mahiru and Tadokoro Megumi also learned a lot of new things from Tonio during this day.

Needless to say, Tadokoro Megumi, this professional chef from Totsuki, realized the strength gap between herself and Tonio in just one day. She hardly stepped out of the kitchen during the few days she stayed in Morioh Town.

Shiina Mahiru also gained a lot of cooking experience from Tonio, taking her research on glowing cuisine a step further.

With Miyauchi Hikage's consent, she also shared the cooking experience she obtained from Liu Maoxing.

Although Tonio and Tadokoro Megumi had indeed never heard of glowing cuisine before this, with Yotsuya Miko, the girl with special-grade Spirit Sight, as proof, Tonio also showed great interest in this experience.

He even specially asked Yotsuya Miko to stay by his side to watch his cooking process.

The final result was that when he made those ordinary dishes, although they could already be considered delicacies in the human world, they didn't emit the so-called light.

Only when he completely devoted himself to the production of the abalone could he make the dish emit a faint golden light.

According to Yotsuya Miko's analysis, this golden light shouldn't have much to do with his Stand ability.

Probably only pure artistry could cause such a change in the cuisine.

Such a discovery instantly made Tonio discover a brand new world.

After all, as a pure chef, after saving his seriously ill fiancée relying on his culinary skills and Stand power, his remaining obsession was only to continue to improve in culinary arts.

And now this experience placed in front of him was like opening a door to a new world for him, telling him that there was still a very long way to go on the road ahead.

Although the path in the experience might not necessarily fit his style, with this wisdom from predecessors, it was still very useful as a reference for him to walk his own path.

If the dishes he made before were only at the level of normal people, then after seeing Liu Maoxing's cooking experience, his gaze had already rested on those cooking skills sufficient to be called "Supernatural Cuisine".

And also because of Shinomiya Kaguya's kindness in providing him with Morioh Town's abalone, plus this experience brought out by Shiina Mahiru, Tonio, who originally just thought about working for the Shinomiya Group for a while to repay the kindness and then planned to embark on a journey to continue his traveling, also finally made up his mind to stay in Japan and delve into more supernatural cuisine.

Even Shinomiya Kaguya didn't expect it. She was still trying to figure out what benefits to use to move the other party here.

As a result, just because Yotsuya Miko's eyes could clearly see the light from the other party's cuisine after it was finished, he stated that he was willing to join that Jujutsu High, only asking to hold a chef position in the cafeteria at Jujutsu High, which was enough.

Although Shinomiya Kaguya herself had hardly ever eaten in the cafeteria of Jujutsu High, such a highly functional supernatural chef willing to join Jujutsu High because of her, there was no way Jujutsu High could refuse.

Perhaps because the cafeteria of Jujutsu High really lacked an excellent chef.

After learning about this from Shinomiya Kaguya, that night, Yaga Masamichi, the principal of Jujutsu High, personally came directly to Morioh Town to interview Tonio.

After tasting the dream-like abalone dish made by Tonio, without another word, he held Tonio's hands and stated that the cafeteria of Jujutsu High could be entirely handed over to Tonio in the future, and various welfare benefits and even the cafeteria's operating funds would be tilted to the maximum extent.

After all, Tonio's cuisine and the supernatural power he possessed were indeed worth such wooing for Jujutsu High.

Unlike the supernatural systems of Shinto, Buddhism, and Onmyoji, where the nature of their supernatural power itself was biased towards neutral and positive, the cursed energy used by jujutsu sorcerers was originally an aggregation of negative energy.

Those supernatural priests and pastors, relying on the nature of their own power, although not everyone could use healing secret arts, a region could always find a few people with healing abilities to treat supernatural beings.

But in the entire jujutsu world, the number of doctors was quite scarce.

First, a jujutsu sorcerer must master the Reverse Cursed Technique to convert cursed energy, a negative energy, into positive energy.

At the same time, they must also be able to apply the healing effect of the Reverse Cursed Technique to others.

Finally, it also requires the person who has mastered this Reverse Cursed Technique to have enough cursed energy themselves to perform normal treatment work.

In the entire jujutsu world, there were not many people who could achieve this, only a very few, including Ieiri Shoko.

It could be said that this technique was completely not something a person could achieve through effort alone.

Because of this, Ieiri Shoko, the only school doctor at Jujutsu High, could be said to be the busiest person in the entire school, bar none.

What the other party had to do every day was to constantly treat jujutsu sorcerers from all over the country, while also taking time out to do various researches.

Sometimes, if Ieiri Shoko was too busy here, they would have to pay no small price and owe various favors to find supernatural doctors from Shinto to perform treatments.

Although the dishes made by the current Tonio mostly targeted ordinary people's conditions, Yaga Masamichi still felt the potential in this dish from the abalone made by the other party.

Yaga Masamichi even felt that the role the other party could play in the future would definitely not be inferior to Ieiri Shoko's.

Perhaps even because of the existence of Tonio, this supernatural chef, more awakened supernatural beings would be willing to join Jujutsu High?

Facing such a warm invitation from the principal of Jujutsu High, Tonio naturally did not act pretentious. He simply put forward some very normal chef rules and reached a Binding Vow similar to an employment contract with Yaga Masamichi.

This Binding Vow did not have too many restrictions on Tonio. It was more of promises given to Tonio by Yaga Masamichi to let Tonio manage the cafeteria of Jujutsu High with peace of mind. It could be said that most of the content in this Binding Vow was Yaga Masamichi's self-restriction.

Yaga Masamichi was also worried that those jujutsu higher-ups, after learning about Tonio's ability, would make Tonio engage in those jobs he was unwilling to do, so he simply used the method of a Binding Vow to cut off the thoughts of the jujutsu higher-ups first.

If the jujutsu higher-ups tried to hold him accountable in the future, Yaga Masamichi would also be able to give an explanation—he had no choice but to use this method back then in order to let such an excellent supernatural chef join Jujutsu High. Otherwise, what if the other party was poached by Shinto or other supernatural forces?

Of course, Yaga Masamichi's trip this time was not entirely for Tonio, this supernatural chef.

The night before yesterday, when Gojo Satoru brought the resurrected Sukuna vessel, that young man named Itadori Yuji, back to Jujutsu High, he also stated that he wanted Sukuna to completely resurrect in this young man's body, in order to completely erase the existence of Sukuna, the former King of Curses.

As an old man, he was really somewhat startled by Gojo Satoru's somewhat crazy idea.

He had been handling this matter all day yesterday, but the attitude of the jujutsu higher-ups was still very ambiguous.

Just like Okkotsu Yuta's matter half a year ago, the thought of the jujutsu higher-ups was to kill Itadori Yuji first while Sukuna hadn't caused any serious losses yet.

According to the thought of the jujutsu higher-ups, it was probably that although they knew Sukuna wasn't dead completely and would resurrect sooner or later.

And they also knew that directly killing Itadori Yuji in this way could only temporarily prevent Sukuna's full return.

But as long as they could take care of the present, it was fine.

They only needed Sukuna not to resurrect during their "term of office".

Originally, Yaga Masamichi was still pondering, after all, no matter what choice was made, it seemed they had to sacrifice the life of an innocent person like Itadori Yuji for it.

It was only after Gojo Satoru conveyed Miyauchi Hikage's view that he thought of coming over to chat with Miyauchi Hikage face-to-face.

Recruiting Tonio, meeting with Miyauchi Hikage, observing Shinomiya Kaguya's "friends" to see if those girls had the potential to join Jujutsu High—this was his purpose for coming to Morioh Town this time.

Although he hadn't specially paid attention to the private social circle of Shinomiya Kaguya, the eldest young lady of the Shinomiya family, several of the members she invited for this Morioh Town trip were new "suspect targets" that Jujutsu High had recently paid attention to.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, Hoshino Ai, Gokou Ruri, and those girls who were relatively close to Miyauchi Hikage.

To really speak of it, even Shinomiya Kaguya, who had recently suddenly awakened the supernatural power called "Psychokinesis", was under their observation.

The first few girls more or less left some traces while using the supernatural powers they mastered to exorcise vengeful spirits and complete the commissions from the diary, which made Jujutsu High, which was originally preparing to go and eliminate local Cursed Spirits and vengeful spirits, notice these girls who suddenly possessed strength close to Grade 1 supernatural beings.

After realizing that these girls, who seemed to have almost awakened during the same period recently, still maintained a certain level of contact.

Although Yaga Masamichi didn't intend to get to the bottom of the reasons for these girls' supernatural awakening, he naturally also had to confirm the personalities of these girls and figure out their attitude towards the Inner World.

If these girls could pass the inspection, they could indeed be absorbed into Jujutsu High as temporary students.

Anyway, this kind of thing had already been made an exception for Miyauchi Hikage and Sakurajima Mai, so a few more examples wouldn't be too many.

Of course, the most important thing was still because these people had a good relationship with Miyauchi Hikage.

Miyauchi Hikage, a supernatural being who possessed special-grade strength not long after awakening, who had only seen Domain Expansion once and researched a Domain prototype in just one or two weeks, and whom even Gojo Satoru, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer, could feel a trace of threat from, was now able to largely influence the attitude of Yaga Masamichi and even Jujutsu High.
