The first King of Flavours had taken over a large plot of land while on the other hand, the second king of Flavours had a very small shop. It was just a small food cart that did not look different from other food carts at all.

If not for the large crowd gathered before it, any one would have a hard time associating this shop with one of the super famous kings of Flavours. As for what this king was famous for, to Elena's surprise and delight, it was ramen.

Ramen was something that Elena really liked. Even before earth was destroyed, she had loved to eat ramen to celebrate any good occasions. So she was delighted to find a place where she could taste amazing ramen again.

Obviously the ramen like noodle dish was not called ramen here and instead was called the Flavoured Rope soup. But Elena disregarded that and decided call it just ramen in her mind.

As Elena got closer to the shop, a few people came forward and stopped her. Then they started to explain the rules of this place to her. It turned out that Elena had to wait in the line to get her chance to take on the challenge of the king of Flavours here.

Seeing that the line was extremely long with hundreds of people and the challenge itself took some time, she decided to visit the next king of Flavours first. She loved ramen with all her heart but she was not willing to taste it in such a hurry.

According to Elena, ramen is something that should be enjoyed peacefully in one's leisure. The atmosphere here was not really well suited for that. So she decided to keep an eyes on this place constantly and come here when it was a bit less overcrowded.

But just as Elena was about to leave, one large man came running toward her. Then he smacked the back of the head of the man who was telling Elena the rules and scolded him.

"You incompetent fool. When you're explaining, explain everything properly. Why did you not tell her that if one had already been acknowledged by one of the kings of Flavours then they did not need to wait in the line ? Are you trying to fool her, huh ?"

Hearing the angry large man, the young man in question was scared. He had understood that this sexy looking lady with awesome figure had actually managed to get acknowledged by at least one of the Kings of Flavours.

But how could he guess that ? This lady had a slim and hourglass figure. She was extremely sexy. Normally all the people who could be acknowledged by the kings of Flavours were either too fat or too large. So he had not expected Elena to also be a large eater.

He immediately started to apologised to Elena which Elena accepted with a smile. She could understand why this young man had forgotten to tell her about this loophole and as he had no malicious intent, Elena did not blame him. She was just happy to get the chance to taste one of her favourite food sooner than she had expected.

Before following behind the young man, Elena thanked the large man for his assistance. He was one of the people present in the large ground where the first King of Flavours was. He was quite a powerful person with levels over 600.

...

The young man introduced himself as Kobert, a disciples of the king of Flavours here whose name was Haki. Normally he was a part of a martial arts sect but now that their sect had become more famous as a restaurant, he was working as a helper here.

While waiting for the current batch of challengers to finish the test, he started to explain the rules to Elena. Probably to apologise for his prior mistake, he told Elena about everything in great details.

Here Elena did not need to show her strength as a fighter and instead just needed to show her strength as a food critic. Haki had a few apprentices who were also good cooks and a challenger needed to taste their cooking and had to find flaws in them. Only someone was with a very sophisticated tongue was eligible to enjoy his cooking.

Hearing this, Elena relaxed completely. She had no trouble devouring dishes even if they were not perfect. But as a chef and a foody who had eaten a whole lot of amazing dishes, her palate was very sophisticated.

...

Soon it was her time to taste the food as she sat down in the counter of the small food cart. Immediately a bowl of ramen was put before her. It was decorated with a lot of care and it was also giving off a mouth watering smell.

Elena picked up her chopsticks and brought a few strands of noodles to her mouth first. Next, she used the spoon to drink some of that flavourful broth. After that she sighed in satisfaction and continued eating.

Seeing Elena happily devouring his Flavoured Rope soup, the apprentice who had made it looked very happy. But the master, the king of Flavours Haki immediately rejected Elena as in his opinion someone like her would not be able to give any good critisisms.

After Elena had finished her bowl, she smiled with satisfaction and looked at the apprentice who had made her bowl. Seeing a god tier beauty like Elena smiling at him, the apprentice felt very embarrassed and his face turned red.

Elena first praised the bowl that was given to her. The decoration of it was very tasteful and the favours were strong. All the ingredients were also cooked for the perfect amount of time.

But after the praises were over, Elena started her critisisms. This was unexpected for the king of Flavours so he also listened carefully to see if the critisisms were valid or bogus.

Even though what the apprentice had made could be called a top tier ramen, obviously there were things he could improve upon. Elena immediately started listing them.

She first started with simple mistakes and than started to give him more and more complicated advices. How could he improve the broth, can the noodles become even better, how to properly manage the toppings so that it not only looked good but the flavour profile was also very balanced, so on and so forth.

At first, the king of Flavours was nodding his head but as soon as Elena started to give complex advices, his eyes widened and he started to take notes. All his other apprentices were also the same. They stopped whatever they were doing and started listening to Elena.

Seeing this, Elena also made her lecture more generalised so that everyone could improve from it. She stopped only after talking non stop for almost an hour.

As soon as she stopped, the king of Flavours kneeled before Elena and asked Elena to take him as her apprentice with his head touching the ground. Seeing this, all the onlookers almost lost their mind.

Who was this lady who could bring even a king of Flavours to his knees before her ? A few people who had seen some of Elena's previous exploits in other places started to sing her praises. Soon even before Elena could say anything in reply, her fame spread like wildfire and she got a message in her mind.

"Congratulations, you have been acknowledged by more than 70 percent of the people present here in the Gluttony Section. You're now an offical Gourmet Tycoon."
