Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 1242

Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242: Distribution_1 Chapter 1242 -1242: Distribution_1 Upon hearing this, Quentin Woodridge’s fighting spirit was rekindled.

The previous analysis report had left him thoroughly convinced.

Indeed, it was his own lack of strength.

But, the gap between him and the original substitute who had moved up a rank due to Parker Honi’s proposal to exchange spots was not significant.

As long as he put in extra effort to improve, he could surpass the other.

However, the other person would surely strive to elevate their own skills as well.

But he had confidence that even so, he could still surpass them.

...

Parker Honi successfully entered the Defensive Team as he had hoped.

There were five contestants from outside the Academy, and four of them have become substitutes for the expedition team.

The other person moved up a spot due to Parker Honi’s team exchange and would have otherwise also be a substitute.

Pingla Academy’s students held the top nine positions.

Originally, Parker Honi was ranked tenth when he was in the expedition team.

But even so, no one raised objections.

After reading the analytical report sent by Samson Zhekova, especially the part about them, they knew that the report was accurate.

There was no bias or injustice present.

Nobody else objected either, which suggested that the report’s analysis of these other individuals was also accurate.

Consequently, where they fell short compared to others became abundantly clear.

Therefore, no one thought that Pingla Academy was discriminating by intentionally placing its students on the main team, leaving those from outside the school as replacements.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

The truth is, there is indeed a vast disparity in skill.

Aside from Cody Quinn, who was undeniably number one, Parker Honi’s abilities were on par with Cindy Clarke’s.

At least during the Pingla Competition, except for an unexpected development during the final causing Cindy Clarke’s ranking not to be high.

But in the earlier stages of the competition, Cindy Clarke was always closely matched with Parker Honi.

They had just tasted Cindy Clarke’s cuisine yesterday, and there was indeed a gap.

Cindy Clarke’s skills are superior.

This confirmation implies that Cindy Clarke did not advance to the finals of the Pingla Competition because of connections.

It was actually that specific judge who had issues and had not made a fair judgement.

The abilities of Cindy Clarke and Parker Honi allowed them to only place tenth among the regular members of the expedition team, let alone their abilities, which are not as good as Cindy Clarke’s and Parker Honi’s.

Therefore, even after entering the substitute position, besides Quentin Woodridge who initially had some objections, after seeing the analytical report, including Quentin Woodridge, everyone was convinced.

Following such distribution, the whole team began their training in preparation for the International Culinary Competition.

***

Time swiftly flew by.

The expedition team had already departed the day before to challenge different sites.

They certainly needed to depart a few days in advance to adapt to the local environment, savor the local cuisines and understand the local culture.

Meanwhile, Quentin Woodridge remained on the substitute bench, unable to break into the formal team.

The top nine spots in the official team were rigidly occupied by the nine students from Pingla academy.

Even the tenth rank tried hard to move up, but the gap remained significantly wide.

Quentin Woodridge originally believed he could at least replace tenth position.

However, while he strived to improve, the tenth rank was also making efforts.

He improved, but the advancement of the tenth rank was even bigger.

From the preliminary selection, Samson Zhekova could tell that the potential of the tenth rank surpassed that of Quentin Woodridge.

Truthfully, rather than Quentin Woodridge entering the expedition team as a substitute, waiting for an unexpected circumstance to replace a top-ten member, he had more chances to play if he stayed in the Defensive Team.

The Defensive Team did not set substitutes.

It was because there were so many students in the Pingla Academy.

For the sake of watching the competition, even during holidays, everyone stayed instead of going back home.

Students from other places also stayed in Belfard.

Such a good reserve force meant there was no need to find additional substitutes.

Many students had already bought tickets for the finals and would fly directly to the site to watch.

As for the expedition team’s challenges, they would not accompany them.

They’d simply watch the finals.

Since there were no set substitutes, staying in the Defensive Team and assuming there were no surprises, the chances of playing were much higher than in the expedition team.

Parker Honi, who was ranked tenth in the expedition team, also considered this aspect.

Although the official expedition team had 10 members, not every student was chosen for a match, and they would not all go.

So being tenth, Parker Honi would probably not get too many chances to play.

It’s better to stay in the Defensive Team, where he might able to get more practice.

The Defensive Team was mainly composed of him and Cindy Clarke.

The reason why Samson Zhekova agreed to Quentin Woodridge and Parker Honi’s swap was because the members of the Defensive Team, except for Quentin Woodridge, were all from Pingla Academy.

Firstly, it wouldn’t pose an issue in terms of unity.

Unstable elements would not appear within the team.

If Quentin Woodridge had issues with anyone, it could easily lead to unpleasantness.

It’s better to send him to the expedition team, with the formidable Cody Quinn there, Quentin Woodridge really couldn’t stir up any trouble.

Meanwhile, the defensive team led by Cindy Clarke and the others, welcomed their first challenge.

One day before the challenge, Wesley Gordon and Hunter Clarke stood before everyone.

Samson Zhekova has already left with the expedition team as the team leader.

The school’s side was now under the responsibility of Wesley Gordon and Hunter Clarke.

“Tomorrow, you will all face the first defensive challenge.” Wesley Gordon said, “The Indian Triad is the team that will visit us tomorrow.”

“According to the competition’s rules, we as a Defensive Team do have some advantages.

Of course, we as a Defensive Team have advantages, other teams as the Defensive Teams will also enjoy equal advantages.

It is friendly to us as a Defensive Team, but not so much to our expedition team.” Hunter Clarke explained.

She looked at Wesley Gordon and Wesley Gordon said, “Our advantage as a Defensive Team is that we set the topic.”

“Although it’s about creating a dish from a third country’s cuisine, but since we could come up with the topic, we can practice in advance, which is a great benefit.

The Offensive Team will only know the subject once they arrive at the venue and won’t have time for practice.”

“You all know, a dish that has been repeatedly studied and continuously improved compared to a dish that has not been prepared at all, even if it is not the first time making it but is not a regular dish, has a huge advantage.”

Wesley Gordon being Wesley Gordon, his demands were extremely strict: “So, if you all cannot win the competition in this manner, then it would be incredibly disgraceful and unprecedented.”

Cynthia Florine raised her hand.

“Speak.” Wesley Gordon said.

“Well!since we can prepare the topic in advance, why was it only mentioned today?

After all, there’s only one day left; if we had known sooner, we would have had more time to prepare, wouldn’t that be better?” Cynthia Florine asked.

“Yes, yes.” Aiden Huxley and the others nodded in agreement.

They were too familiar with Wesley Gordon.

They knew that Wesley Gordon, although serious on the surface, would not mind them asking or expressing anything as long as their questions were legitimate.
