Okay, so I recently started watching Shokugeki no Soma and by the first episode I was hooked. Yukihira and Co. are just so entertaining and I love seeing them cook.
I ship Yukumi so much, since Ikumi actually shows some interest in Yukihira unlike little miss Tsundere Nakiri Erina, so I'm writing this little fic, which was inspired by another fanfic I read called Shokugeki no Soma: Devil's Edition, by shirayle (The nickname "Son of the Devil" came from him, and I'll change it when I come up with something original). This takes place during the Camp thing Yukihira and Co. had to go through, but it's my version. The similarities to their fic will stop after this chapter.
There are going to be Shokugekis between the Alumni, since I find those to be very good writing prompts, and there will be a sibling relationship that develops between Erina and Yukihira by the end of this story. Whether it'll be multiple chapters or not is up to you guys.
Drop a review if you want this to be a full blown story.
Also, keep in mind I'll be writing character's names traditional Japanese style, with the last name being first, and I usually refer to them by last name, or by the name they were most commonly referred to bofh in the anime and the manga.
"No way!"
"Is that the Meat Maestro?!"
"It's the God Tongue!"
"I can't believe I'm in the same room as the Son of the Devil!"
These were the common exclamations that could be heard throught the room as the students of Totsuki Institute as they stared up at the previous generations of Totsuki Alumni.
The most recent being the 92nd Generation, housing a total of 10 graduates, more than any other generation in Totsuki history.
Yukihira Soma, First Seat of the Elite Ten representing the 92nd Generation, watched the awed and frightened students with a bored yet amused expression, picking through the students and deciding who would survive this Camp and who wouldn't in his head.
He came up with a list of possible graduates, including a guy with hands that look roughened and calloused from years in a kitchen, much like his own, and another being a girl with plain clothes suited for getting dirty and her hair tied back in a low bun.
He looked over to his fellow alumni, at noticed Shinomiya-san was glaring down at a few students, before following his line of sight.
Yukihira was greeted with the sight of two guys with expressions along the lines of, "Do I have to be here?"
They're gonna get fired real quick... He thought to himself.
True to his expectations, Shinomiya Kojiro spoke, "You two, the one with messy hair and a blue shirt, as well as the one next to him, you're fired."
"What?!"
"Why're we fired?!" They protested at the same time, looking humiliated and angry.
"Not only do you look like you'd rather be anywhere but here, you're both wearing strong cologne, which will hinder your ability to smell and evaluate your dish in the kitchen, thus lowering your cooking's overall appearance, fragrance, and taste. You may both leave."
They left without another word, anger apparent on their faces.
Hayama Akira spoke next. "The girl in the red skirt needs to leave as well, she's wearing makeup, strong scented shampoo and perfume. Completely unsuited for a kitchen." The girl burst into tears as she left, and the remaining students began murmuring in fear of the Alumni.
Yukihira sighed.
"Now that we've gotten that out of the way, shall we get started?" The others nodded in agreement, and he then addressed the first years.
"The point of this Camp is to weed out those unfit for the life of a chef. From this point on, you're no longer students, but our employees, and will be treated as such. If you fail to meet any of our standards, you will be fired, which means you'll be expelled from Totsuki Academy." Whispers of fear dispersed amongst the students. Yukihira continued without a thought.
"If you not only survive Camp, but stand out and gain the interest of any Alumni here, you might be asked to apprentice or work for us."
This made the students buzz with excitement at the thought of all the knowledge you'd gain from such reputable and famous chefs.
"Each of us will give you a task, and an alloted time to complete said task. If you do not pass, you're fired. If you fail to complete the tasks, you're fired. If you cause trouble in the kitchen, you're fired." More whispers of fear.
"So get rest, and put only your best cooking forward. There will be three big challenges towards the end of this Camp, and then you will be given one day before leaving to ask questions, sample food, and enjoy your stay at Totsuki Resort."
The prospect of having one day to enjoy the commodities the Resort could offer overshadowed the fear (just briefly) of being fired.
Dojima Gin thanked Yukihira for the introduction to Camp, before going on to speak about where the students would be staying and the schedule they would be following, mentioning the baths and the recreational rooms.

The Alumni were granted with three whole floors, all generations intermingled.
Yukihira was sandwiched between Nakiri Erina and Mito Ikumi, with Sakaki Ryoko right across from him and Marui Zenji next to her. Hayama Akira was on Ryoko's other side, right across from Erina. Hisako Arato was next to Erina, while Ibusaki Shun was next to Hisako.
Across from Ibusaki was Nakiri Alice, while her next door neighbor was her aide Kurokiba Ryo. Then of course, on the other side of Ikumi was Satoshi Isshiki.
Also on that particular floor was Hinako Inui, Shinomiya Kojiro and Kobayashi Rindo.
The rooms were luxury, no doubt about that: beautiful floor to ceiling windows with mechanized, remote control curtains made up the walls of Yukihira, Erina, Ikumi, Isshiki and Ibusaki's rooms, as well as Rindo and Inui's rooms.
The rest had beautiful dark walls with detailed and intricate artwork hung up, a fireplace in every room. The beds were queen sized, topped with cool silk sheets and cloud like comforters with simplistic designs.
The rooms were modern luxury, dazzling and inviting, enrapturing even those who were used to such refinement. Yukihira could only imagine what the students must be experiencing.
The lobby/living room the floor occupants shared was gorgeous too.
Dark red couches created a square around a beautiful crystal coffee table, the room illuminated by the sunset coming in through the large window, which had a massive balcony attached to it. The kitchen was top of the line, even including equipment suited for gastronomic cooking, which absolutely delighted Alice.
All in all, the Alumni were certain their stay would be most enjoyable.
I hope you guys enjoyed this first chapter, and if you did, don't forget to favorite and review 😊
I love hearing your thoughts on my writing, you guys, not only does it help me improve and put my best work forward, it gives me motivation and inspiration to continue writing. I will be writing longer chapters, don't worry, but since this was the first chapter, I wanted to keep it short and simple.
More characters will be introduced and added along the way, and if you want an OC character, just review with their age, height, specialization, hair, and eye color, and nationality/short background information
