"This is... my body... it’s recovered!"
As the Life Energy poured into him, Aimaru could clearly feel his body rapidly healing. The body that could barely move just a mont ago was restored to its peak state in the blink of an eye.
After all, Yuuki’s Life Energy could even heal Master Jiro’s injuries. Aimaru was nothing in comparison.
"Amazing, right? This is Chef Yuuki’s exclusive technique. You really lucked out this ti, Aimaru."
Seeing his best friend returned to full health, Toriko was very happy.
"It is truly amazing. To restore my severely depleted body to its peak in an instant... Thank you so much, Chef Yuuki!"
Aimaru also thanked him. Since he had decided to continue living, he naturally wanted his body to be in a healthy state.
But his body had been too depleted, so he hadn’t been able to recover in a short ti. Even in the late stages of the original story, he was still in a sickly state.
"Don’t thank , Mr. Aimaru. After all, I ca here with a purpose—The Ultimate Routine."
Yuuki said. He was here for the Gourt Knights’ technique.
"The Ultimate Routine? If you’re interested, Chef Yuuki, I can certainly teach you. It’s just that it might be a bit difficult to learn."
Aimaru explained. Yuuki had co with Toriko and had helped him so much—so he wouldn’t refuse. It was just that the technique was a bit difficult.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that in the original story, both Toriko and Starjun learned it in an instant. Those two were not normal people. Their learning ability was off the charts, and most critically, both of them were extrely confident in themselves.
Extre confidence was the key to this technique. After all, it was a skill on a ntal level.
"Aimaru, don’t underestimate Chef Yuuki. His learning ability is not sothing most can compare to!"
Toriko laughed. Having spent so ti in the Land of Healing, he knew just how ridiculous Yuuki was. In a few months—he had gone from a Reviver-novice to a Super-Reviver on par with Yosaku.
An Ultimate Routine... Toriko didn’t think this skill could stump him.
"In that case, let’s go inside first. I will teach you this technique later!"
Aimaru nodded. Teaching one person was the sa as teaching two. Toriko was his best friend, and the reason he had decided to live was because of the ssage Toriko had sent with Takimaru.
It could be said that Toriko was one of the people who understood him best. That was why he knew that bringing this news would make him choose to live.
Aimaru was very grateful to him. He would naturally teach him this technique as well. Of course, that was on the condition that he could learn it. If he couldn’t, there was nothing Aimaru could do.
....
Upon entering the village, Yuuki and Toriko t the other Gourt Knights. This group was very small. After all, very few people could endure such a life.
But those who could persist were all beings with incredibly firm wills. When they saw Aimaru’s body had recovered—they were all very surprised and then very grateful to Yuuki.
After all, Aimaru was their leader, their spiritual anchor. If he had died, though the Gourt Knights wouldn’t have disbanded, they would have been in a bad state.
So, by helping Aimaru, Yuuki had helped all of them.
But the Gourt Knights couldn’t offer anything to entertain Yuuki and Toriko. It couldn’t be helped—they were a group of ascetic monks who never indulged in worldly pleasures.
Everything in this village was very primitive. In the end, Toriko and Yuuki had to go into the forest to hunt for themselves.
"I really admire you Gourt Knights. I don’t know how you can resist eating all this delicious food!"
In the forest, Toriko and Yuuki were eating roasted at. As for Aimaru, he was sitting on the side with a smile, his gaze never leaving them.
But there wasn’t a trace of desire in his eyes. A person who could control their desires so well was destined for great things.
A pity that he was born in this era. In this era, the main the would always be gourt food. After all, Gourt Cells were the key. So, though his spirit was strong, he was destined not to go far in the future.
"This is the principle of us Gourt Knights. Now, while you eat, I will explain the Ultimate Routine."
"Just talking about it might be hard for you to understand. So, I’ll use it once. But because I usually eat very little, using it once will require to rest for several months. So this opportunity is very precious. You must watch carefully!"
As he spoke, Aimaru suddenly activated the Ultimate Routine. Normally, when the Gourt Knights used their techniques—they had to perform a set of movents beforehand.
Takimaru had done so in the Ice Hell in the original story. The reason for these movents was to forcibly increase their concentration. This was actually sowhat similar to Food Honor.
The effect of Food Honor was to use less strength to produce a stronger effect, also a technique to enhance concentration.
The Gourt Knights also followed this process, but the Ultimate Routine was different. It didn’t need any prerequisites. It was an ability of Pure Will.
....
The next second after Aimaru spoke, both Yuuki and Toriko saw an image of themselves being corroded. The mont this image appeared, Yuuki didn’t move, but Toriko instantly flashed dozens of ters away, creating distance between himself and Aimaru.
"That..."
A few drops of sweat dripped from Toriko’s forehead. In that instant, he felt he was about to die.
"It wasn’t an illusion, Toriko. If you hadn’t moved just now, you would have really died. Actually, it wasn’t just you—every living thing in this entire forest saw that image just now."
"But there was one exception. Chef Yuuki, why weren’t you affected?"
Aimaru looked at Yuuki with confusion. He was puzzled. His Ultimate Routine shouldn’t have failed. Toriko and the animals that had already fled were the best proof.
"No, I was affected. But Aimaru, the gap between your strength and mine is a bit too large. So, though your technique was effective on —you couldn’t hurt . Even if you went all out."
Yuuki said. Hearing this, Aimaru understood. He had used the Ultimate Routine to make them feel his strongest attack.
This attack could undoubtedly kill Toriko, but it couldn’t harm Yuuki.
"But since you were also affected, you should have felt that feeling just now, right?" Aimaru said. Though Yuuki was strong, since he was affected, there was no problem.
He was actually worried that Yuuki wouldn’t be affected at all. If that had happened, he would have been at a loss. After all, this technique was difficult to grasp just by explaining it.
....
"So, Aimaru, what was that just now? Why did I see a scene of myself being corroded by the mold in your body when you clearly didn’t do anything?"
Toriko couldn’t wait to ask his question. He knew the Gourt Knights very well, so he knew they had to perform a set of movents before fighting.
After completing these movents, their combat power would increase. But he was confused because Aimaru had clearly done nothing.
"No, I did, Toriko. I have already completed all the movents of the Ultimate Routine."
However, Aimaru decisively refuted Toriko’s statent.
"IMPOSSIBLE! You were just sitting there and didn’t do anything! Chef Yuuki saw it too!"
Toriko insisted his eyes couldn’t have been mistaken. Aimaru had indeed done nothing.
"No, Toriko. Actually, Aimaru did perform the movents. You just didn’t notice."
However, Yuuki’s one sentence made Toriko’s brain short-circuit. Aimaru was also stunned for a mont, and then he understood. Yuuki had realized the key to this technique.
At this mont, he was also very shocked. He never thought that Yuuki could understand the principle so easily just by feeling the effect of the technique, and even cooperate with him to fool Toriko.
"What? When did he do it??"
Hearing Yuuki’s words, Toriko chose to believe him. He didn’t think Yuuki would lie to him about this, and there was no need to.
"Toriko, I was wrong. I didn’t perform those movents just now."
However, just as Toriko was believing him, Aimaru said sothing that made him even more confused.
"What do you an, Aimaru?? WHAT ARE YOU GUYS PLAYING AT??"
Toriko suddenly felt like he was being played with. At this mont, he felt his brain wasn’t enough.
"Toriko, why did you believe what I said just now?"
However, Aimaru didn’t say much more, but asked him a new question.
"Why did I believe you? It was because you said it with such conviction! And Chef Yuuki was backing you up. Of course, I would believe you."
Toriko said his thoughts.
"So even if you doubted it yourself, you chose to believe because of our attitude, right?"
"You should have realized by now. You didn’t make the decision after confirming it yourself. You were influenced by and Chef Yuuki, so in the end, you chose to believe."
"This is the core of the Ultimate Routine. As long as you have a strong enough conviction, and you force yourself to believe, you can do it. Just like how you saw yourself being corroded by my mold just now."
"My technique normally isn’t enough to kill you. But just now, I possessed the conviction to kill you. This conviction was incredibly powerful—so much so that it even affected reality. So, do you understand?"
Aimaru began to explain the core of this technique. After listening, Yuuki also understood. This technique was more like a form of hypnosis. But during the hypnosis, an incredibly powerful conviction began to affect reality.
Actually, even before he transmigrated, or in the world of Food Wars—there were similar examples. The simplest example was illness.
Many illnesses were caused by one’s own emotions. Logically, emotional changes were ntal changes and should not affect the body.
But emotional changes were closely related to the body. So, when a person was extrely sad or angry, their body would often have so problems.
Yuuki had even heard of so cases of cancer. dically, they had been defined as a death sentence.
Most people, after knowing they had cancer and there was no cure, would feel they were dood and live in a state of extre pessimism every day.
But there were a very small number of people who shifted their attention to other things.
In the end, even if they had been dically sentenced to death, their bodies still recovered.
This change was very magical—no one could explain it. But in the world of Toriko, because of the existence of Gourt Cells, the conviction of the Ultimate Routine was materialized.
It allowed sothing that was originally illusory to have a chance to beco real.
It could be said that the Ultimate Routine that Aimaru and the Gourt Knights had researched already had the seeds of turning illusion into reality.
Perhaps because of the limitations of their strength, they could only simply apply it to their own bodies.
For example, Aimaru, to explain the key of the Ultimate Routine to Toriko, had used his conviction to give himself a stomach ulcer.
He hadn’t used his mold ability—he had purely relied on his conviction to make his body believe he had a stomach ulcer.
The appearance of this scene made Toriko feel his worldview had collapsed. He couldn’t imagine what kind of willpower could cause such a thing.
....
"A technique very similar to Food Honor... a clear mind, absolute belief in oneself."
At this mont, Yuuki began to try. And the result of his attempt soon appeared. His hair, under the watchful eyes of the two, directly grew by about ten centiters.
"Phew... is this the limit of what I can do now?"
Looking at his longer hair, Yuuki was a bit emotional.
"What... what happened? Chef Yuuki, why did your hair suddenly grow longer?"
Toriko asked, completely baffled.
"Toriko, don’t you already have the answer in your heart? This is the Ultimate Routine. I’ve already mastered this technique. I purely relied on my conviction to make my hair grow longer."
"But the limit of what I can do is to make my hair grow ten centiters. Any more than that is impossible!"
Yuuki said that he had just mastered this technique, so this was his limit.
