Even after a field he wasn't specialized in came out, Jo Minjoon's face didn't shake. It was a door he had to climb someday.

But of course, if it was him from before, he would be feeling regret right now. However, he wasn't. And it wasn't because just recently, his baking level got up to 5. Because in the first place, not all desserts had to be made by baking.

'........Should I try that?'

Jo Minjoon's gaze grew sharper. What he was thinking right now was the dessert he ate in Rose Island. Excluding the chocolate pastry, they were all 8 points, and it also meant that Jo Minjoon knew the recipes of them.

But of course, knowing the recipe and imitating it were two different things. But at least, he was confident in bringing out 90% of the flavor. That dish that had sudachi curd and green apple jelly, and roasted cashew nuts as a garnish.

After he came back from the restaurant, Jo Minjoon worked hard to imitate all of the dishes excluding the . And the dish he got closer to was this one. Because right yesterday, he imitated it, and succeeded on getting 7 points.

If there was a varying factor, then it would be time. Jo Minjoon looked at Joseph's lips with an anxious face. However, the one who opened her mouth was Emily, and not Joseph.

"You have two choices. One is one hour, the other one is two hours. If you choose the two hours one with something you can make in just one, then there's no need to even talk about the score, right? Use a dessert using the given time perfectly. And."

Emily paused for a moment. She continued talking with a serious face.

"In this mission, two people will disqualify. One from the one hour, and another one from the two hours. There won't be given any more opportunities to the both. So be prudent in choosing the time. We will give you 10 minutes. Go to the right countertops if you want to make it in one hour, and to the left if you want to make it in two. It's left and right from where i'm standing.

Jo Minjoon didn't have more options but to choose the two-hour one. Because if he wanted to properly make jelly, he would at least need that time. The unexpected one was Marco. Just as his specialty was baking, he thought that he would be choosing the two-hour one, but what he chose was the one-hour one. And aside from him, Chloe, Hugo, and Peter chose the one-hour time.

And there were five people in total. In the other side, there were six people that chose two hours. Jo Minjoon, Joanne, Ivanna, and another three. Jo Minjoon glanced at the others. The one that caught his attention was a black woman called Sasha. She seemed to be five years older than him. And she, who was slim and had a gentle character, wasn't someone Jo Minjoon originally was aware of. A relationship where she brought her food to ask for the cooking score occasionally. However, that changed a few days ago.

[Sasha Kane]
Cooking level: 6
Baking level: 7
Tasting level: 6
Decorations level: 5

The only ones that had baking level 7 were only two, Marco and Anderson. And it was the same a few days ago. And perhaps, a few weeks ago. Because it wasn't that Jo Minjoon checked the levels of the others occasionally. And he only knew of her change a few days ago.

The score the carrots pound cake she brought two days ago asking for the score wasn't normal. 8 points. When he checked her level because he was surprised, her level was already up.

'.......To grow in the middle of the competition. No, I'm the same.'

He didn't really feel like congratulating her. Who in the world could congratulate a competitor so honestly?
