CHAPTER 4
Cooking classes
*In the club room
(Japanese)(Kuro)
"By the way Vinny, what do we need to practice?"
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"The first thing that we need to practice is your riding skills, first Track Stands—practice balancing without moving; it helps at stoplights and improves control. Second Smooth Pedal Stroke—Learn to pedal evenly (no stomping); fixed gears teach fluid motion. Third Stopping Technique—Practice using your brake and controlled back-pressure on pedals. Fourth Cadence Control—Get used to high RPM pedaling since you can't coast downhill. Fifth, One-Hand Control—Practice riding one-handed safely (for signaling). Sixth Slow Riding—Master riding at low speeds without wobbling. This will be essential for your riding to keep you safe. After we practice your riding skills, we are moving to fitness. You will be doing this thing every single day, firstly leg strength & endurance training—fixed gears are great for building power, but supplement with squats, lunges, or sprints. Second, Flexibility—Stretch hamstrings, calves, and hips to avoid stiffness. Third Daily Commute Practice—Start with short rides and slowly increase distance. Fourth Night Riding Prep—Use front/rear lights and reflective gear for safety."
(Japanese)(Haruto)
"I'm getting dizzy; there are too many things Vinny is saying right now."
(Japanese) (Shin)
"*sigh* What Vinny is saying is that we need to practice our riding skills, and we need to do some workouts for our strength and endurance."
(Japanese) (Haruto)
"Okay, I think I get it somehow."
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"We will meet later tonight at exactly 7pm at Ren's store."
(Japanese) (The 3)
"Yossh!!"
The four of them then proceed to go to class as usual, and while in class, Vinny is thinking of something.
(Japanese) (Vinny)
(I wonder how the others are doing right now.)
After that moment Vinny then noticed Akari on the other side of the classroom; once again, Vinny's world just froze. After a while, Vinny snaps out of it.
(Japanese) (Vinny)
(What was that just now? Am I dreaming again while wide awake again?)
(Japanese) (Teacher)
"So class, now we will be cooking by group."
(Japanese) (Vinny)
(Huh?)
The teacher then set up groupings for each student; luckily, Vinny got grouped up with Shin, Kuro, Haruto, and Akira. Vinny then went to his group.
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"So we get paired up again; looking forward to working with you guys."
(Japanese) (Haruto)
"Alright, we are a team again!! "
(Japanese) (Shin)
"Shut your noisy ass up, will you!"
(Japanese) (Haruto)
"Akira, look, look, Shin is being a meanie again."
(Japanese) (Akira)
"Will the two of you knock it off? And I am also looking forward to working with you as well."
(Japanese) (Kuro)
"Alright, let's cook, guys!!"
All of the students then proceed to the cooking area to prepare
(Japanese) (Teacher)
"So everyone listen up, we have here some beef stock. For today we will be making ramen. You guys can also make side dishes like karaage or anything you like to cook for extra points."
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"Oh, it's a little challenging. Are you guys ready? "
(Japanese) (The 4)
"….."
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"Don't tell me you guys never get to cook something? Hahaha."
Vinny then broke into a small laughter, then went silent.
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"Wait, you guys seriously don't know how to cook!? "
(Japanese) (The 3) (Less Akira)
"ehehe…"
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"Akira?"
(Japanese) (Akira)
"Ehe~😋"
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"You guys have got to be kidding me…*sigh*"
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"Alright let's do this, sensei can I use sake for a side dish I will make!?"
(Japanese)(Teacher)
"Sure I guess as long as you guys will not drink it"
Vinny then proceed to cook like a pro, he first start with the main dish the ramen, he firstly prepare the ingredient that he will be needing, Vinny then proceed on making Gyūkotsu Ramen, a traditional beef stock ramen. after he's done he then start preparing the ingredient for the karaage.
(Japanese) (Akira)
"Wow I didn't know you can cook this well!!"
(Japanese) (Kuro)
"How did you even learn this!?"
While Vinny are making karaage
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"well my parents are not always around and even if they did they are bad at cooking so I made a choice either I will be hospitalize by the way they cook or I will cook myself"
(Japanese) (Haruto)
"I feel bad for you brother"
(Japanese) (Vinny)
"Thanks, Sensei we are done now,
The teacher proceed to Vinny's group and test the food Vinny made, the teacher look surprise on how good the food he made even the side dish taste good.
