Just like that.
A summer vacation had passed.
The weather in September was cool and refreshing.
Dada dada...
The sound of footsteps resonated on the shaded path as Xingping Chuangzhen, holding a box of cooking utensils, stood in front of a venue building and took a deep breath.
The front of the massive building featured a pair of red banners, aligned from left to right, nearly hanging from the spire to the ground.
Reading from left to right:
"The 43rd Autumn Selection Cooking Contest."
"Oh!"
Xingping Chuangzhen walked under the building, where numerous returning students from Far Moon had already gathered.
"Is this the 'Hall of Lunar Heaven'?"
"I'm here for the first time... what an impressive building!"
"Yes, yes! It's even more impressive than on TV! Last time, Instructor Xia and Yuchuan Ayaka's cooking showdown, we could only watch it in the dorm, but this time we can finally sit in the audience seats on site!"
Many first-year students shown their excitement.
