Zoltik blinked a bit in confusion as he looked around at the stunned water moles.

"Huh? Sensei, did you do this?" It had to have been. There was no way he could have done that himself!

"No, Zoltik." Toriko informed him, a proud smile on his face. He knew the boy had it in him.

"Sensei, I don't understand.." The younger man was confused even more. He did that? Him?

"Your Gourmet Cells increased when you tried my full course menu. You've gotten stronger, Zoltik, you just don't realize it yet."

So he did do the impossible! Feeling inspired by his master's words he tried to recreate the action but realization he'd have to try again later.

Toriko's Home

Zoltik is outside smacking his arm against a tree trying to create electricity again. Meanwhile Rin and Toriko is watching him from Toriko's house.

" He's amazing, just like you Toriko," Rin smiled, glanced up at Toriko. " When he gets back he's already training."

" He's trying to duplicate his actions against those Water Moles," Toriko, eating one giant piece of a sandwich. " He'll never do it. Not if he keeps starving himself."

Slowly as the time flies by and eventually it's dinnertime. Zoltik misses dinner to keep training by smacking the tree. Zoltik keeps smacking until his arms are red.

" Why?" Zoltik cries holding his red arm. " Why can't I get any better."

" Your going about it the wrong way." Toriko explain, " You're not setting a goal for yourself. Your just trying to make it work. Your a human-being, not a television."

" Sensei" Zoltik looks down in embarrassed. " I guess there's no point in hiding it. I'm a disgrace. You should have picked Rasaw. He's much smarter than me."

" Huh? Why would you say that? I didn't chose you. You chose me, remember?" Toriko blinked in confused then grins. " I'm kidding. Sure Rashaw's smart but I chose you because your a lot like me just like Rashaw picked Coco because he's a lot like him. Have a sandwich." Toriko offered a sandwich.

Zoltik looks at the sandwich, he doesn't like sandwiches but eats it anyway.

" Now punch that tree." Toriko ordered with a smile.

" But I don't feel any stronger." Zoltik frowned.

" Trust your teacher." Toriko said.

Zoltik cocks his fingers back and hits the tree. He creates enough electricity in it the tree cause it to explodes.

" What was in that sandwich?!" Zoltik gasped.

" There was no special ingredient, Zoltik." Toriko laughed rubbing Zoltik's hair. " It was just your favorite bacon with cheese layered on top. You used your powers all on your own."

" So if I eat a lot of food I can become as strong as you, sensei? Zoltik asked. Toriko laughed because his teeth was covered in cheese.

" Not yet." Toriko said. " A Gourmet Hunter isn't just about eating animals. It's about finding your meals and hunting them. It's about trying new food and adding it to your Full Course Menu. No one is going to get mad at you for adding what you like on your Full Course Menu."

The next thing Zoltik knew Toriko's wife Rin walked out of the house. She walked up to Toriko who put his big arms around her. The next thing Zoltik knew he was lifted off the ground and put on Toriko's shoulder. Zoltik knew what was going on and it was his favorite time of the day. There was a mountain with food everywhere they walked it could feed fifty villages. Even the dust balls tasted like creamy cheese. What Zoltik loved about this mountain was the view. It was like he was inside the stars and everyone was cheering for him to fly down and beat the powerful beasts in the Gourmet World.

Every time Zoltik looked at those stars he would think, ' Someday I will become a Heavenly King like you, sensei.'

Flashback End (For Now):

The Mole Scizzar showed feelings of friendship and compassion to both the Demon Panther and now it reciprocated those same feelings to Ryou. The Mole Scizzar sat down while Ryou stroked his hand on his head. Every time Ryou pet the Mole Scizzar's head it would look up at him as if reminding itself who was petting him. Ryou calls this thing Scizz in his head but doesn't call him that out loud because a wild animal should never have a name.

Ryou no longer carried if Zoltik brought back the Demon Panther. He was a chef who cooked meals from the animals slain by the lightning Gourmet Hunter but even he had feelings about animals who saved them. This had to be a secret of course because if any of the other Gourmet Hunter's knew about this they would give both animals to some rich people. The only good rich people who use money to find ingredients and animals was Fond De Bohno. What they would is do keep the Demon Panther in a cage and do unspeakable things to it. To Ryou animals should be friends or meals, not objects of torture.

Suddenly, Ryou saw someone approaching from the North. Mole Scizzar was impatient to see who it was and prepared to charge North, but Ryou got up and grabbed Scizz by his legs. " Don't do this! It could be a Gourmet Hunter who is here to rescue us!"

Ryou managed to stop Scizz's running but he couldn't stop his rage. Scizz didn't like the person coming this way. Slowly the person who was walking there made their appearance. It was a female, young and beautiful. She had skinny arms but had muscular legs. Her small shorts and short pink hair reminded Ryou of someone. He was looking at Mona and she was smiling at Ryou...or was she?
