“Greetings, residence of Kyokusei Dorm. We’ll, from what I can see from here, you’ve all still got pitiful looks on your faces. At this point the end result is obvious, even without the Advancement Exam. Perhaps it would be easier if you all just left the academy right now. Only a brief time has passed since I came to stay with you, and while I have been staying here at the dorm, I’ve had many. let’s just say, opportunities to sample all of your dishes. The flavors were often erratic and sometimes a complete mess. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve delivered my criticism. However, I can say with certainty, every dish of yours shared the quality of freedom. Now look, you’ll never live up to your true potential if you continuing staying down in the dumps and just allow yourself to flunk out now. It’s Pathetic! Are you going to roll over like this? It’s not a question of getting through it. You must simply forge your own path with your cooking. If all of you have the will to fight on and wish to continue staying here, I shall use my God Tongue and support you in realizing your potential. Those of you without the will to fight should leave right now. I will only face this exam with those of you who have the strength needed to forge on. Now, if you believe you are truly honorable chefs, then step up to the plate and follow my lead!”
