Prologue: Are All Of You Prepared?
Trey Trey	“Food”. That is the foundation for life.
Kalim Kalim	The clear seas. The great mountains. The gentle earth. We can sustain ourselves with whatever mother nature offers.
Trey Trey	If you so wish, we will impart our wisdom and valor to you.
Kalim Kalim	Go forth!
Trey Trey	Don’t turn back!
Kalim Kalim	The culinary road is harsh and unforgiving.
Trey Trey	But I’m sure that when you reach the top, you will make it yours. The glorious–
Kalim & Trey Kalim & Trey	Honour of being a master chef!
Cafeteria - Judging Venue
Crowley Crowley	The harsh and unforgiving culinary road… Countless hardships befall on those who attempt to reach its peak. Will the ruthless, yet impartial trials and tribulations leave you in despair or in bliss… …Right! Now that we’ve got that out of the way, are all of you prepared to participate in "Master Chef"? I believe you all chose this program after carefully reading through the course syllabus, but let’s review what Master Chef is about once more. Eh… Ahem! “Master Chef” is a class that allows you to learn cooking techniques by helping out in the school cafeteria. At present, you are able to eat delicious food in the cafeteria. However, once you leave your dorms here you will need to prepare your own meals. Eating out all the time will make your food expenses skyrocket, while eating only your favourite foods everyday will lead to malnutrition. If you destroy your heart and soul because of that… Becoming a great mage would be nothing more than a fever dream! Let’s learn about nutrition and meal planning so that you can live long, healthy and independent lives. To advance to the next year and eventually graduate from Night Raven College, you need credits from both your core subjects and your electives… You can gain one elective credit if your dish is well received by the judges. Captivate the judges’ stomachs and both your cooking skills and credit will be recognised! By the way, the judges are randomly selected from the students and staff in this school on the day the judging is held. Why did we come up with this system? That’s because… If the judging panel is decided beforehand, student after student will make illicit deals with the judges to pass! Goodness, why is it always the underhanded methods that you work for… Oh, I’m getting off-topic. Right. There is also a special perk that is offered only in Master Chef. Helping out the cafeteria’s kitchen is part of your lessons. In other words, you are being put to work. Therefore… Everyone here will be paid as part-time workers! This means you will learn the importance of hard work as Master Chef students. Isn’t it generous? No need to thank me, of course, for I am gracious after all! Now, I’ll introduce the ghost chefs who will personally instruct you for this program.
Head Chef	Thank you for having us~
Crowley Crowley	In their former lives, they were professionals who displayed their talents at the five-star restaurants they worked at. I’m sure you will grow as chefs under their tutelage! At times, you will struggle as you adapt to the kitchen work, but I hope you will do your best to follow to the chefs’ instructions. And last of all… Everyone who’s participating in this round, please introduce yourselves and state your motivations for joining this program one by one.
Trey Trey	Right. I’m Trey Clover from class 3-E. I joined this program because I want to get better at guiding my fellow dorm mates in sweet making. I want to understand how it’s like being a rookie starting with the lessons here.
Kalim Kalim	I guess next up is me. I’m Kalim Al-Asim, register number 1 in class 2-A! I joined because I also want to be able to prepare food for my guests whenever I hold a banquet. I’ve never really cooked before, but if it’s fun then it should be fine!
Head Chef	We won’t go easy on you all, so make sure to work hard!
Kalim Kalim	Alright!
Trey Trey	I’ll be in your care.
Translator's Note: The cutscene and all the dialogue except for Trey and Kalim’s introductions are almost word-for-word the same as in NRC Master Chef ~Bliss of Meat~

Epilogue: Let's Hear Your Thoughts
Cafeteria - Judging Venue
Head Chef	Right. Now that we have taught you the basics of cooking… Let’s hear your thoughts on the Master Chef lessons so far from the two of you.
Kalim Kalim	I couldn’t progress much because I wasn’t familiar with the work and was stunned at every turn… I experienced firsthand how much more difficult cooking is than I thought. When I watched Jamil chop vegetables with the kitchen knife and the like, it looked so much easier~ But thanks to the lessons here, I’m picking up recipes to prepare for my guests next time!
Trey Trey	I joined this program to learn the secrets to teaching others how to cook and… The chefs’ anecdotes of how beginners fumble in the kitchen make for good references. That, and watching Kalim cook.
Kalim Kalim	Eh, why me?
Trey Trey	You mentioned you have almost no experience with cooking, right? How you reacted during the classes was helpful for me.
Kalim Kalim	I see~! I didn’t think you would have time in the kitchen to notice such details. People like you who are used to kitchen work are so amazing. I’ll keep practising so that I can become just like Trey.
Head Chef	Fufufu! Both of you seem to have learnt from each other during the lessons, so that’s great!
Kalim Kalim	Alright, let’s have fun for the remaining classes too!
Trey Trey	Yeah, let’s do our best to whip up dish after dish so that everyone will say it’s delicious.
Translator's Note: The first Head Chef lines are the same as in NRC Master Chef ~Bliss of Meat~
