DISCLAIMER: I don't own Shokugeki no Soma

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

First of all, sorry if the chapter is not long enough. I would like to clarify that this is an OMAKE. However, all the things in it took place in the continuity of this story. With some minor exceptions. (Fourth Wall Breaking)

Secondly, in the end of the chapter is my reaction to the lastr two chapters of manga. So SPOILER ALERT.

Thirdly, does anyone here read Girls of The Wild's? I have loved this manhwa series for a long time and now it is coming down to the confessions of love between Queen and Jae Gu! While I get the whole "Rich Girl with Cold Heart falls in love with the Poor Boy with Strong Will while she is in arranged marriage" thing and have no really ill feelings to the couple... I jsut can't help but see Choi Dal Dal as a better match!

I rarely have problems with canon or close to canon couples. Pretty usuallu, like in case with Fairy Tale or Toranari Kaibutsu-kun or even BLEACH, I almost always agree with the majority of the fandom. (Naruto is an exception because I still ship NaruSaku way more than NaruHina). But back to the couple in Girls of the Wild's...

If you read it, do you have any thoughts on Choi Dal Dal x Song Jae Gu couple?

And finally, completely unrelated to fanfiction net, I was assigned to write a small research for my ARW2 classes. So, ig any of you guys could answer some of my questions, it would be really helpful. You see, once we were given the task, I thought "Maybe I can get some information from other countries?". I hope it doesn't sound too selfish.

Anyway, if anyone of you have some free time to answer some of my questions, I would like you to PM me about it with clarification of school or unversity you attend and the city you live in. To make things clear and not seem like a creep, the main topic of my study is the relationship between living in big cities and studying. I hope I didn't scare you off or anything.

Anyway, now to the story itself.


It was The Friday Night.

"You might be wondering why the last three words are Bold, in Italics and Underlined?" Yukihira Soma smiled at the reader as he made sure all the dishes were almost ready to be presented. He smirked as he finally removed the piece of white fabric and tied it around his wrist. "Well, let's start with a simple question..."

MAking his way to the oven, he smiled as he picked the tray with cooked spongecakes and closed the door behind.

"Would you like to have an authority in your school rivalled only by the director himself? Well, I am pretty sure you would." Soma checked the meat. Everything seemed to be fine. "But having such power comes at a great price..." He gulped and shivered. "The name of this price is, like a certain MARVEL character used to say, responsibility. Unfortunately, in our case, responsibility means doing lots and LOTS of paperwork!"

He took a quick sip of the ankake. Huh, this time, he would definitely make Eizan make one of his trademark faces!

"So, when I first came here I had a certain idea... Well, it wasn't mine overall but I was the one to make it palatable." Soma muttered. "What? You don't expect me to admit that the one behind this amazing idea is Kuga, right?! He doesn't even understand this himself"

DING-DONG!

"Well, I guess, you will have to see it for yourself then!" Soma smirked at you as he took off and ran towards the door. Divine Light surely was a big mansion. MAybe he should have taken the offer to live in Nakiri Mansion? On the second thought (to be exact, the thought a particular hyperactive and childish aid of his cousin), he was better off here. Opening the door, Soma was greeted by 9 sets of eyes.

"I really hope it won't tke long..." Just like any other day, Eizan Etsuya couldn't help but glare at him. The aura annoyance, which seemed to be a natural reaction of the yankee to almost anything, was floating around him like the thick cloak.

"Oh, come on! Like you have better things to do. All you do, be it day or night, is like always related to money!" Terunori seemed to be busy with one-sided micking towards both the 9th and 6th Seats. His gleeful mood signalled about his eagerness to participate. However, it wouldn't take an experienced eye to see that his gaze would sharpen once his eyes set on Tsukasa.

"Now, now, why don't you both calm down?" Soma never had any ill feelings towards Isshiki. If Yukihira had to choose, Satoshi would be the most friendly and the closest thing to the "good guy" stereotype here. But, deep down inside, Soma would also never underestimate Satoshi. While he was friendly and sometimes way too calm for someone of such high rank, he had the darkness inside of him too. The one which was released only on the cooking battlefield.

"Even though this is not the direct order from the director... He seemed very keen on this one." Kinokuni Nene was the very epitome of what you would consider the model student. Soma has been well aware of how strictly she followed every rule. Following the orders of those above her and acknowledging only the authority figures. "I don't think that we should ignore it."

"As long as each one here shows his best, I think, the evening will be fruitful for everyone." The guy with the scar running across the bridge of his nose, Saito Soumei, said, not even opening his eyes. Soma often tried to understand why he did this. Maybe he refused to look at anything but the cooking? Or he just had some sort of hidden power which would reveal itself once he opened his eyes?

"Why does Momo have to do this again?" The pruple-haired student muttered in annoyance. Frwoning, she started stretching the cheeks of her stuffed toy, which, strangely, seemed to reflect her own emotions.

"..." Tosuke Megishima was once again silent. He was porbably the biggest mystery for Soma. The giant with gentle heart? Or more of a pseudo-tough guy who would later be shown as a comedic relief type of guy? Soma sighed as he mentally reminded himself to stop reading so much manga. Seriously, he has already started putting people into manga-stereotypes!

"Come on, Momo-chan!" The insatiable monster of the Council, Kabayashi Rindo, exclaimed cheerfully, putting her hand on the purple haired girl's shoulder. "It will be lots of food! Oh, and fun! Definitely, lots of fun!"

"You are not just going to slack off and eat whatever we make, are you, Rindo-senpai?" Soma said with light chuckle.

Rindou pouted in joking manner. This was the question he asked every Friday. Ever since the introduction of this small idea, Rindo must have been the most enthusiastic about it. Considering her gluttonous tendencies, Yukihira suspected that she just wanted to eat cooking of the other Elite Ten members more often. But Soma had to admit that if it were not for her, the others might not have taken part so fast.

"... By the way, why does Tsukasa-senpai look so pale?"

"Well, he had to do the triple of the usual workload he has so..." Rindo trailed off sheepishly. It was no secret that she often bullied Tsukasa into doing her portion. And ever since Soma learnt a few tricks from the girl with cat-like features, Tsuakasa had to learn how to do the paperwork for three people. "Now, let's not talk about the boring stuff! Are we going to start this or not?"

Soma smirked as he watched each and every other Elite Ten member change in their faces. It has always been there. The desire to grow stronger and "consume" another chef's seat. This, of course, was the reason of such animosity between many of the Council. However, Soma proposed a certain way to both practice their skills against each other and at the some time strengthen the bonds of the Elite Ten.

The fight between all the Elite Ten members with each of them allowed to use their respective food fortes with no boundaries! Sounds a little bit chaotic? True. But what is the point of measuring their strengths and weaknesses if one or another would be limited in some way? Besides that, many of them would often go as far as try something different. Each for his own selfish reason.

The battle between techniques, styles and experience!

The battle where each one of them proved his right for the Seat!

The abttle between Kings and Queens of the Academy Tootsuki!

This is...

THE ROYAL SHOKUGEKI!


Later that night...

"It seems that Tsukasa-senpai is not joining us for the small party." Soma said with slight disappointment. However, it would be hard to call this thin g a party. It was great that he had guys like Kuga and Rindo with him, they could liven things up but the others! "And Isshiki-senpai said he has some business he needs to attend to."

"It can't be helped." Nene said as a matter of fact before readjusting her glasses. "I fail to understand why he still refuses out offer to move in here. After all, it is not really right for the 7th Seat to live in some half-forgotten building which doesn't even belong to Tootsuki's official territory."

"... Yukihirachii, you just had to invite her, huh?" The master of Chinese Cuisine asked with his eye twitching. "Seriously, you, Kimokuni, are like the last thing to bring if you wanna enjoy anything! And..." Terunori looked at Eizan. "Shouldn't you be in your room counting money over and over again?"

Eizan smirked. Soma knew that snmirk well. If you watch someone really closely, you will learn their facial and bodily gestures and what they mean. And right now Eizan was going to make Terunori lose his temper.

"And shouldn't you be getting as much sleep as you can? I heard that helps midgets like you to grow bigger." The yankee said with a smirk and sipped some of tea.

"SAY WHAAAAAAT?!" Terunori launched himself at the yankee with all he had. The fight started. "Yukihirachii! Come help me kill this fuck-"

"I have got a better idea." Yukihira smiled. Darkly. Really and really dark smile. Now he knew how to liven things up. Moving faster than the lightning, Soma snatched Eizan's mobile phone right out of his pocket and smirked. Etsuya's eyes bulged in rage. Terunori grinned in glee. "Alrighty, which business partner should we call first and break the agreement?"

The silence. Both Momo and her toy looked quite shocked. Even they knew that Eizan was really serious about his dealings with big people. Rindo grinned cattishly and took as many snacks as she could. Portable food is much more convenient when you want to see the action. Even Soumei seemed to open his eyes a little bit. This sure was going to be fun to watch. Megishita was just as ignorant and uninterested as usually.

"Give. It. Back. Yukihira. Soma..." Eizan was practically breathing steam. His eyes were looking at Soma with the killing intent and it showed that Eizan would get his phone back. Even if he had to destroy everything but the redhead's right hand. "Now..."

"I think, I will call KaraageMozuya." Soma said plainly before running off laughing like the child. Roaring in blind rage, Eizan picked the first thing he reached for the first thing nearby and ran after the annoying co-member. As Eizan saw Yukihira near the stairs, Soma grinned before making a few coughs and then speaking in perfect replica of Eizan's voice. "Nakamozu-san? Yes, it's me, Eizan etsuya..."

"GRAAAAH!" The real one launched at Soma with the spoon. And Yukihira went back to running.

"Oh? What's with the noise? Nevermind, just a bald and ugly coyotte!' At this notion, Eizan threw the chair at him. He dodged another attack and ran towards his room. Inside there were Terunori, Rindo and Momo. Locking the doors and barricading the way, Yukihira ignored Eizan's threats and proceeded with his prank. "Why am I calling you this late? Well, you see..."

"Yukihira, if you do something stupid, I swear I will-" Eizan started again only to be shocked as he heard what Soma said.

"... I-I have been..." Momo's and Rindo's eyes widened in shock as Soma, still speaking with Eizan's voice, was faking, very convincingly, embarassment and shyness. The real Eizan felt this was not going to end well and tried to break through but failed. "I... I have been in love with you, Kinu Nakamozu-san..."

The dead silence. All three members with him had to quickly cover their mouths in order to hold back the laughter! Well, Kuga was freely and hysterically laughing into Soma's pillow. hear Eizan. Surpassing his own urge to burst out laughing, Soma regained his cool and continued with the same tone:

"Ever since the start of our partnership..." He feighed the light confusion and relief when you confess. "I couldn't forget about you even for a single minute... Your smile and face remind me of kitsune. Just as mysterious and charming it is!" Now Rindo was histerically laughing along with Kuga.

"And your voice! there is so much power behind your polite tone! So much mischievous nature in every word of yours!" ALright, maybe he should call for an ambulance? At this rate, both of his senpais would die of laughter. And Momo seemed not too far from their state. "Oh, and the way you change when someone agitates you! In kust one blink of an eye, you become the unstopable and dominant woman!"

Now, for the finishing move...

"It just... makes me... all fired up..."

And at this moent, two girls had slight nosebleeds.

"So, if you agree to go on a date with me, I would be able to die happy!" Soma smiled. Now all he had to do was just to hear the polite and rpofessional no from the woner and enjoy the angry expression of Eizan. "Huh?..."

She kept talking. And he kept listening. All three members came closer trying to hear what they were talking about. But failed.

"Oh, I... eh... If you put it this way... Ye-Yes, of course! Good night, Nakamo- What? Oh, yeah, sorry. Kinu-chan... Bye-bye... Yeah, me too..." And then she hanged up. Three pairs of curious eyes looked at Soima, who seemed to be shaken beyond his imagination. He said nothing and carefully walked towards the door. "Ehm, Eizan-senpai?"

There was no respone. Maybe he went to sleep? Oh, wishful thinking, Soma.

"Yes... Yukihira?..." All three jumped on their feet as the Ninth appeared behind Soma with his veins popped all over his face and pulsing.

"What do you think about going on a romantic date with the woman twice your age, who turned otu to have a high-school girl crush on you?" Soma tried to make it sound as good as possible. He failed.

"HUUUH?!" He made one of tjose faces. Just like one time when Yukihira said that Eizan was afraid of his cooking. "YOU DID WHAT?!"

"Well, you pick her up tomorror at seven, so good luck!" Yukihira stormed to the window and made his break. "Oh and she insists on calling you Etsu-kun! BYE!"

"YUKIHIRA! YOU #%$ER! I WILL #%$ING KILL YOU!"

"Maybe we should go and help him?" Momo asked as she looked at the picture below. Both guys were running incircles with Eizan roaring profanity and Soma trying to survive. "Personally, I couldn't care less about lower ranking students."

"Nah, they will be fine." Terunori said as he started recording the video. "But if Soma dies, we will get Eizan jailed forever!"

"There is so much leftover food down there. I just can't let it go to waste!" Rindo said as she went to the kitchen, humming a happy tune.

Ah, The Elite Ten... The Loyalty in its true form...


And this is it, pals! (Shameles ripping off Looney Tunes Show)

Anyway, first manga reaction:

Wow. Just wow. i mean, I have expected something from Azami. And I theorized that he might be from the Polar Star. (Due to the photo of him and Saiba and Gin standing nearby) But Christ, never have I imagined that he would be his fanboy! The way he spoke about Saiba makes even me (the loyal het-fan) think about how easily this could be made into yaoi couple! Seems like the admiration for Saiba runs in the family.

And that last moment of chapter 150! Did you see Erina's face?! What is even better: How the next chapter began. Not only the whole salt scattering joke but Erina's reaction! Oh, the page with her remembering everythin bad she thought, said or did to Yukihira... Damn! Her Picture of the World was broken! That horrified face was amazing!

Now, to more serious stuff, as Azami said, he wants to "save" the world which (once again yaoi-like line) "ruined his dear Saiba-senpai". I have several theories. Maybe up until some point in time, before Azami entered the high school division but still lived in the Polar Star, Saiba was much more different? Maybe he used to make only gourmet food which Azami admired? And then something happened that changed Saiba into the crazy experimentator he is today?

Do you have theories about the whole ruining of Saiba?

And now about Elite Ten...

Well, what happened to the Isshiki, Kuga and Megishima seems pretty logical to me. Actually, I am surprised they have gone this far. from what we saw, the chance of Rindo being a double-agent is getting smaller. (the theory a friend of mine is clinging to)

I am also happy that we have got a little glimpse on what the personalities of the remaining members are like.

Momo refers to herself in the third person and seems pretty arrogant, I think. Did anyone notice her toy mirror her mood in the latest chapter?

Soumei is probably the guy with some warrior-like philosophy in the head.

Nene seems much more stricter with rules than I initially thought.

I am realy hyped about the new Lite Ten members! Did you see th frame on the page with Rindo putting on the bage? There were three students standing ahead of the others. Maybe they are the new additions? Or just background characters? I personally hope for new charcaters. However, for some reason, I have the feeling that Azami might try and lure Akira into the Central. (How? Well, as the director, he might just fire June, right? And blackmail Akira into following his orders.)

And yeah, the badge looks awesome! (I know, they are evil! But I have a thing for badges.)

Oh, and my favourite...

"The Survivor's Hunt"! So they are going to hunt down anyone who opposes the Central and challenge them? DId you see how many have joined the Central? This is going to be a WAR!


Anyway, I would like to remind you about the fourth part of my Author Note above. In case you have some spare time and don't mind answering a few questions about studying and education, I would be really grateful if you contacted me via PM. Thanks:)!
