Elena and Tomna sat side by side before a large table while a decent number of spectators were watching everything from the side. The King of Flavours, Jobriel was inside the kitchen making a few dishes. But that did not an he was not doing his job as a judge properly.
Jobriel had a special skill that allowed him to create shadow clones. These clones were not very strong and could not use any skills, so they were useless in battles. But still, they were extrely useful as helpers in the kitchen. One such clone was currently keeping an eye on the competitors while the main body was busy with his cooking.
Not long after the competition started, the first dish was brought before the two Gourt Tycoons. When the waiter opened the box that he used to bring the food, a total of 20 dumplings appeared before both of them. From this batch, Elena and Tomna had to choose three of the most well made ones.
As twenty dumplings were not a lot of food so Tonma imdiately started to check all of them out one by one. The outer coating of all the dumplings were perfect so to find the best ones, he needed to check out the fillings that were inside.
He broke one of the dumpling and hot stuffing inside was revealed to the world. He gave the stuffing a sll test and then took a small bite. Then he nodded his head with a profound expression and put that dumpling aisde. After that, he moved into his second one to do the sa.
While Tonma was checking the stuffing of all the dumplings, Elena took a whole different approach. She just touched the dumplings from the outside and did nothing else. After checking out all the dumplings this way, she picked out three at random and put them on a plate. Then Elena started devouring the rest of the dumplings with gusto.
This was a very surprising scene for the spectators. From this behaviour, they judged that the three dumplings that Elena had chosen at the very beginning were the three best ones according to her judgent. But how can soone find that out without taking a bite of the dumplings ? The spectators had no idea.
...
Soon the verdict of the first round was given and both of the participants had managed to find out all three of the best dumplings. But as the first round was very simple, that was just what was expected from them. Actually the people watching the competition were surprised that Elena had also managed to find all the correct answers with such low efforts.
For the second round, sweet and sour rosted corn like vegetables was brought before them. This food item was a hard task as even the most veteran food enthusiasts would have trouble with it. That was because there could be a flaw with an insignificant grain of the corn which was extrely hard, almost impossible to detect without eating the whole thing. So the spectators started to seriously watch how the Gourt Tycoons were going to tackle this round.
Just like before, Tomna took the simple route and started to check out all plates very carefully individually. While on the other hand, Elena did sothing different. She asked the waiter bring the previous three submitted dumplings back and after keeping one at the side, Elena devoured the remaining two.
After that, just like before, she chose three plates and devoured 15 other ones. But this ti there were two plates that Elena did not even touch. This style started to make all the spectators very curious and they started to make assumptions that Elena was soone who eat with her guts. So instead of using proper investigation techniques, she was just going with her guts for this competition.
...
The second round lasted for a long ti but that was mostly because Tomna took a lot of ti deciding on his answer. On the other hand, after Elena was done devouring the 15 plates, she even ordered extra serving of different foods.
When the result of the second round was out, the audience beca excited. This ti, Tomna had managed to find only one right answer while Elena had again gotten the perfect score. So just after the second round, Elena had already taken a solid lead of two points.
Just like that, the compitition continued. Jobriel was not a chef who had given his heart and soul to only a single type of cuisine. Jobriel was also a lover of food and he had visited various relams and cultures in order to learn as many dishes as he could. Not only Valhalla or Elysium, Jobriel had also visited the mortal realm and the divine realm of various gods in order to learn various dishes and cooking techniques.
So Elena got to experience many many different kind of dishes during the competition. This made her super duper happy. At the start of the competition, Elena was still a bit displeased with the interruption but midway through the competition, all her displeasure had disappeared and she was extrely satisfied in her heart.
As for the result of the competition, no one was interested in it anymore. Elena had not lost even a single point since the beginning and even though Tomna was doing very well, he had no chance of defeating Elena at all after he continued to miss one or two points in all the hard rounds.
But this did not lessen the excitent of the spectators at all. But now instead of seeing the showdown between two Gourt Tycoons, they were getting excited to see Elena's eating.
The way she devoured a huge amount of food while maintaining perfect table manners and with a blissful look on her face was sothing that made all the people present there to relax. So of them even beca hungry seeing this and started to order food.
This way, Elena did not only directly contributed a lot of Sinful energy of Gluttony herself, she also managed to made others to contribute by just showing them her eating. If that was not the action of a perfect role model of Gourt Tycoon, then nothing was.
...
While Elena was busy eating, Esfe was secretly contacting so of her followers. Esfe was a queen who had many capable subordinates under her. They were able to do almost anything, from assassination to business, from caretaking to managent, she had perfect candidates for all the roles.
As for her latest order for these excellent subordinates, that was to secretly teach a lesson to a person called Tomna. When this fool had ca to insult her big sister, Esfe had not said anything. But how could a prideful person like her could endure humiliation without paying anything back. The only reason she had not said anything was because she had already counted Tomna as a dead man and arguing with a dead person was useless and foolish.
She had plans to completely wipe out Tomna at first but then she thought that her big sis might find that idea to be too extre so she decided to be satisfied with only teaching him a harsh lesson. So as soon as the festival of Sin would be over, Tomna would have a very difficult ti ahead of him.
