Welcome to the second chapter of The Unmotivated Chef! I'm most likely going to be doing this chapter in Third Person to test out which one comes out better. This chapter won't be fully centered around Rai but will still turn out well! Remember to feel free to leave some helpful advice! Hope you enjoy this chapter!
It was the next day after that interesting party. The classes were starting soon and there was only minutes left till class started. Rai was sitting at the cooking station in the back corner.
"Hmm I wonder who'll be my partner today" he thought as he yawned.
As he had said this the door opened to reveal a few girls walking into the room whispering about the usual gossip about the latest chefs.
A few seconds later a girl that Rai easily recognized with her short pink hair and a very formal stance as she went up to the Sensei. The Sensei pointed to Rai's station as she walked over and took a seat next to him.
They didn't look at each other for most of the class until the Sensei had announced that today was a partner type cooking challenge.
"In this challenge you and your partner will be making a dish with one of these varieties of meat provided by top quality companies" Sensei said as he opened up the cold storage doors to reveal a wide variety of different meats.
"You will also pick one of you to prep the ingredients while the other makes the dish" said the Sensei.
"I'll cook you prep Hisako-San" Rai said in a calm monotone voice.
Hisako slightly blushed in embarrassment and said "Don't use my first name, just because we've known each other for awhile doesn't give you the right to call me by my first name onl-"
"Only Erina-Sama can right?" He interrupted.
She nodded with a deeper blush.
"Well I say we go with a venison backstrap" Rai said as he grabbed the venison from door.
"You prep, I'll cook." He said with a sudden look of determination.
"Begin!" Sensei said.
All the students had begun to cook their dishes. Rai started to prep the venison while Hisako prepared the glace and chopped the vegetables.
A bit of time had passed and it was now time for us to plate it. Hisako put the glace on the bottom and saved some for on top of the venison as Rai placed it down gently. She slowly drizzled the glace onto the venison and they brought the dish up to their Sensei.
"What is your dish?" He asked with a hungry expression.
"A Venison Backstrap with Veal Demi-Glace" Rai said as he opened the dish revealing a wonderful looking dish that shocked everyone with the delicious aroma coming off of it.
The Sensei gulped in delight and picked up his fork. He cut the venison revealing that it was perfectly cooked and also giving him a better view of the glace making him nearly drool.
He finally picked up a piece with his fork and slowly raised it to his took a bite and chewed in silence. He suddenly got a blast full of flavor, the glace was rich but wild in its own way it almost felt as if he was riding along the juiciness from the meat made the journey through those rapids feel even better, he felt ecstatic.
"You pass A" He said as he had finally calmed down from the experience that he just went through.
His classes were now over for the day and Rai was walking around the academy for a bit. As he walked he overheard a group of fellow students.
"Hey did you see those two shokugeki's?"
"Yeah you mean the one where Erina Nakiri won and shut down the Chan RS."
"Yeah and that transfer student beat one of Erina Nakiri's lackeys in a shokugeki to save the Don RS."
Rai kept walking and thought to himself "Erina is at it again, eh? Although Yukihira-San has some talent as I expected ." as he chuckled to himself. He continued walking through the big campus and unexpectedly was put into a headlock by a very surprising guest.
"Aneki." he said with a calm expression.
She tightened the headlock, "I told you to call me Onee-chan, Rai."
"Fin-" Before Rai could finish his sentence someone familiar had come to his rescue, luckily.
"Rindou! Why did you leave me with all your work!" said a boy with white hair.
Rindou let go of Rai and said "arara Tsukasa, I was just saying hi to Rai" with a pout.
"Oh, It's Tsukasa-San." Rai said as he lightly fixed his hair from the sudden headlock.
Tsukasa turned around nervously "He doesn't even call me Senpai, am I really that bad of a role model."
Rindou slapped him on the back "Rai just doesn't like to use formalities." she said as she put her hand over Tsukasa's shoulder and looked at Rai.
"I guess I have to go do work now or else I'll get in trouble, so bye Rai hope you finally gain some popularity by the next time we meet." She said with a sly smile.
"Sure." he said as he lightly waved.
He had finally made it home and was relaxing in his room until there was a sudden commotion.
He got up and made his way towards this sudden commotion, to arrive and see Yuki and Megumi in a frantic panic. While Soma gave off a determined expression. While the rest of the guys we're slightly sweating more than usual.
He walked up to them with a confused expression "What's with all the racket?"
Soma-Kun picked up the flyer and showed it to him "The training camp from hell" Rai said aloud.
"This looks fun what's with all the worry" Rai said while putting the flyer down.
"So this is what Aneki was talking about when she said popularity" he thought to himself.
While still in panic Rai excused himself from the bunch to go sharpen his knives. His knives were in a little carriable pouch that had a cloth covering them. It was almost like his Aneki's but it was a little bit bigger with one extra knife space.
He started to sharpen his knives one by one they all were getting sharpened and in around 20 minutes he was already putting them away.
Now he finally laid down and was able to relax. After a few minutes of staring at his ceiling, he had drifted off to sleep.
Suddenly he was on the grounds of a very nice and definitely expensive, mansion. He looked around and could feel that he had been here before.
As he turned in the last direction he spotted a young girl with blond hair being followed around by a girl with pink hair.
He smiled joyfully "Erina."
