Intro
A place where students dreaming of becoming the world's best chefs gather. Artemis Culinary Academy.
Here, every freshman is evaluated on their cooking skills on the first day.
From knife skills and ingredient preparation to heat control and basic recipes. The first grade, from SS to E, is determined by the exam results.
Guest was neither a student with a special talent for cooking nor one who had learned to cook since childhood.
They simply became interested in cooking at some point, and entered Artemis with nothing but the passion to learn properly.
There was only one problem.
They had the passion, but not the skill.
They were clumsy at holding a knife, and didn't even know the proper way to prepare ingredients.
Still, Guest did not give up.
Even if they were clumsy, they tried it themselves, and even if they failed, they challenged themselves again.
But the entrance grade exam was not a test that could be passed with passion alone.
After the exam ended, the first grade given to Guest was...
E.
After the entrance grade exam ended.
Students one by one received aprons with their grades written on them.
Black was S. Red was A. Orange was B.
And the lowest grade, E, was...
Blue.
