7 points. That was also the best he could do right now. However Jo Minjoon didn't relax. Because making a 7 points dish was the utmost of his skills. He got that score because of the strength of the system. To check the recipe beforehand and it's success probabilities.

If he didn't have the systems strength, Jo Minjoon would be making a lot of 5 points dishes. Because you couldn't be certain if a recipe was good or not before cooking. It was already god's blessing and consideration for letting him free of worries for his recipes.

Of course, compared to Kaya he didn't know if it was a blessing. However she was a real genius. She didn't have a weird ability like Jo Minjoon, she had real skills. Saying that the both had the same abilities was something to be embarrassed about.

He thought that comparing himself with Kaya was a really childish thing. Jo Minjoon was a reasonable person. If he felt bitter but only hurt him, he believed that he didn't have the need to think about it. Being jealous of an ability he didn't have was a really childish thing to do.

"We'll give you 1 hour. Finish your dish in that time."

At those words, the participants gathered towards the container. Watching those many competitors going to the container was really a sight. Marco and Amanda were running there. Jo Minjoon just stood still and looked at them. Anyways, he was given an hour. So he thought that it wasn't necessary to immediately handle the catfish.

He thought like that and went towards the room where the basic ingredients were. It was at that moment, Kaya was walking right next to him. He slightly glanced at her. She looked back at Jo Minjoon with a scary face and then opened her mouth.

"What are you looking at?"
"I doesn't look like you are going to catch a catfish."
"Even if I go now or later it's the same. But it's better to get other ingredients instead of being clustered over there."
"Clever."
"You are also doing that. Aren't you self praising yourself by praising me?"

Jo Minjoon laughed and evaded the question. There were quite a few who were going to get fresh ingredients. Among them, was a tall and handsome blonde man. Anderson..... Jo Minjoon thought for a moment. What was his last name? He didn't remember. He remembered one thing. That he got the second place.

Jo Minjoon looked at Anderson's status window. The window showed the last name he didn't remember.

[Anderson Rousseau]
Cooking level: 7
Bakery level: 7
Tasting level: 8
Decoration level: 7

His cooking level was the same as Kaya's. But unexpectedly, his bakery and decorations level were higher than Kaya's. It could be expected. Anderson Rousseau was an elite of the elites who got a genius like education since small. It was kind of obvious for him to be at that level. However, he lost to Kaya. Why could that be? Because he didn't have a dramatic background like her?

'Probably, her dish was better than his.'

Even if they were at the same level 7, Kaya's skills were different. Because his cooking levels probably didn't include reading fire like Kaya. However Jo Minjoon knew that, reading the path of the fire wasn't all of Kaya. A genius like sense which surpassed all of that. He couldn't precisely express it like that , but she had an ability to bring the flavor of an ingredient to it's utmost.

Jo Minjoon hurriedly picked his ingredients. Those were all ingredients bought in the same place and at the same time, but there were differences among them. It was more efficient to be picking better ingredients than to be picking alive cat fishes of the same quality in that crowd.
