Instantly, there were a hearty round of applause.
Students’ eyes sparkled and their heart beats, little by little, the thought of competition appeared in their mind. Ms. Anne walked close to the tall man and hold the microphone with her hands “Sorry to interrupt you, but I am going to tell you the good news, you can go home if you don’t have any other classes today.”
“Hooray.” Students shouted out of excitement and packed their kitchenware’s bag,
In the arched door at the rear of the auditorium, Mrs. Melissa, who wears the same uniforms as the students and Mr.Trika, a man with black short hair and dark skin, both of them stand at the edge of the arched door. “It’s really you, made a such great effort to invite the renowned tramontana’s company to this place even it wasn’t necessary.” Mr. Trika crossed his arms, said with a magnetic voice
“You don’t get it, if I didn’t invite them, student’s enthusiasm for culinary art might fade faster than we imagined.” Said Mrs Melissa
“You’re worrying about Elisa, right? That she won’t be able to graduat…”
Mr.Trika smiled helplessly
“There are still two years and a half, you can’t ask all students to make the same progress in a short time.” Mrs.Melissa interrupted his words impatiently “Well…the thing is she still can’t slice carrots into 0.5 centimeters and 1 centimeter while most students can.” Mr.Trika continued with a forced smile and sighed“ Do you think she could possibly cook well afterwards? I really think leaving might be a good option for her.”
Mrs.Melissa looked at Mr.Trika with little anger “Are you worrying that she might ruin our school’s reputation?” answered Mr.Trika without a hesitation “It’s possible, our high school is famous for Culinary Art, wouldn’t other people laugh at us if our student can’t even accomplish those basic culinary practices?
Mrs.Melissa continued impatiently “Most of the students signed up to study there because they had the passion for culinary art.”
Mr.Trika blurted out “Passion is not enough, how about other qualities like talent, determination? I see passion in Elisa’s eyes, but I doubt if she really has the talent for cooking.”
Mrs.Melissa continued with a solemn voice “If more students like Elisa come to our school, are you going to convince them to change school? You should really notice that students here had the wish to cook, that’s why they came to here. You know what? Even Elisa makes a little progress after a year in her culinary skills, I will still be glad. Mr.Trika shrugged “I am better done speaking. Anyway, I qualify students with titan’s high school culinary standards. I guess if other professors convince her to quit, you will still find a way to let her stay. And he continued “Well, I am better off, I still have to do experiments on my new dishes.”
Looking Mr. Trika's back, Mrs.Elisa called Mr. Trika's name in a humble voice, and when Mr. Trika turned around, she said thoughtfully “Can I ask you a favor, be kinder to Elisa in your class.” laughed Mr.Trika heartily “You’re the one who are really being mean to her, no matter of how, I really admire the Tramontana’s group you invited today. I begin to wonder how will students make better dishes with the aim you set.” Mrs.Melissa gazed at him tranquilly and said “Even they can’t achieve the top 20, I still want tramontana’s kitchenware shows up in their graduation photo.” Mr. Trika shrugged and said with a teasing voice
“Who knows?”
“Who knows?”
