It didn't take long for the competition so spice up--just like the different spices both contenders were using. The Chef whom the host introduced as Chef Shinichi had a smile on his face right from the moment he started washing his cucumbers until the time he started shredding them thinly. Everyone who was watching their match felt his confidence radiating... but it didn't take long for him to be on the spotlight.
"What?!" One of the audience gasped--reverting all the focus to Jin. "Look at those knife skills! Is he for real?!"
While Jackson was taking his time minding his angels--obviously trying to impress Zeirenne, Jin focused on finishing his dich. With superb and fast knife skills, he managed to put the crowd in awe like a classic cliche from a romantic movie. At that point, people started to wonder if this match was purely coincidental, or perhaps staged.
