Note To Readers: HEY EVERYONE! I received several requests from friends to write A Soumegu Fanfiction I have decided to do so. Why did I decide to finally write one? Because i'm seriously pissed off at the manga's direction. When I first watched/ read Shokogeki No Soma. I fell in love with it. Because I LOVE cooking! And i'll get this off my chest now I HATE Erina. So you won't be seeing much of her if any at all. I am deeply disappointed that Megumi seems to almost be pushed to the side. Why can't the best character win for once?! Which leads me to the development of this fanfiction. This fanfiction takes place after The Moon Festival. There is no Central. I have something better up my sleeve. HOLD ONTO YOUR SEAT! HERE'S Soma x Megumi "France Is Where The Heart Is"
{Prologue}
In Polar Star Dormitory Soma laid on his bed in room 301 as he stared up at the ceiling. Thanks to everyone's help they managed to not only turn a profit but beat Kuga-Senpai in sales the second to last day at The Moon Festival. Unfortunately, though it wasn't enough to beat him in overall sales. There went his Shokogeki with Kuga-Senpai. Damn it! He was so close too! And then there was HIM. The first seat Eishi Tsukasa. Talk about a fearsome fellow. Shortly after they closed up shop Rindo-Senpai had taken both he and Megumi to dine at Tsukasa's restaurant booth located in Immote or the Uptown area where the expensive and fancy booths were often situated the Elite Ten included among them. Soma hated to admit but he was WAY out of his league. It was extremely vexing. However, that didn't mean he'd be out of reach forever. He was going to climb his way to the top. He swore it. And there he would see beyond what his father had back when he was a student himself.
With all these thoughts lingering in his head the morning came swift and fast before Soma had to drag himself out of bed making his way out of his room and into the hallway with his usual dark circles under his eyes as Megumi can towards him. "Oh, Soma-kun! Good Morning!" the blunette greeted the redhead with her usual smile as their paths crossed. "Oh, Tadokoro good mornin." Soma greeted in return with a yawn before Megumi noticed the bags under the red head's eyes. "Ohhh...Soma-Kun did you not get any sleep again? You know that's not good for you...though after what we witnessed last night I couldn't really blame you..." the blunette murmured softly. "Well, it's nothin new for me. Though i'm still seriously bummed that I couldn't challenge Kuga-Senpai. That's a real downer ya know!?" Soma laughed off his frustration.
"Well, Fumio just fixed breakfast so why don't we go ahead and join the others? Otherwise, it'll get cold." Megumi suggested. "Oh, you're right! Then let's get our feet movin!" Soma offered a grin before he followed the blunette down into the dining room where all of the other Polar Star dorm members were already situated. "ITADAKIMASU!" everyone exclaimed as they clapped their hands together and dove right in. "It's hard to believe it's already been almost a year since we started High School..." Ryoko murmured softly as she picked up her bowl of miso soup. "I know! It was over in a flash! I wasn't even sure we were going to survive!" Yuki exclaimed. "Well, it's not over yet..." Marui chimed in. "...Yeah...we still have one more circle of hell to cross through..." Ibusaki muttered. "That's correct...The Advancement Exam..." Isshiki replied premonition cloaking his voice as he picked up a cup of green tea.
"Advancement Exam?" Soma questioned it being the first time he had heard of it. "It's a series of tests that determine if you get to make it to the second year..." Megumi explained. "Oh..." the redhead mused as he let it sink in. "Well, I AM SURE AS HELL GOING TO PASS THAT DAMN TEST!" Daigo cried out as he stood up on the table. "THAT DOES DOUBLE FOR ME! Shoji cried as he joined him. "BOTH of you get your feet OFF the table before I SKIN you alive!" Fumio threatened before both men quickly sat back down in their seats. "So what exactly do you do for these exams?" Soma questioned curiously. "Although the official announcement hasn't been made First Year Students will be given "Four" parts that make up the Advancement Exam. Needless to say, you must pass all of them if you wish to proceed to the second year. Even during my time, the tests were VERY challenging."
"Hey Hey! Isshiki -Senpai!" Yuki exclaimed. "You're on the council which decides the tests...couldn't you just give us a LITTLE hint as to what the tests will be on pretty please!" the orange-haired girl begged with her best puppy dog eyes. Isshiki only let out a soft chuckle. "Of course not. Besides...I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise. In fact, the Director should be making the announcement any minute now..." the blonde grinned before a student came and brought eight letters all with the student's name on it. Megumi slowly opening hers and began to read it out loud. "Dear, First Year Student Tadokoro Megumi...please report to the courtyard to await an announcement by the Director Senzaemon..." the blunette read as she began to feel her nerves get the better of her. "Well then! We'd better get going! Come on Tadokoro!" Soma urged as he made his way towards the door with Megumi following behind him before everyone in Polar Star Dormitory left to take their first step in becoming Second Year Students.
