Author's Note: The longest chapter to date! This chapter has something that I feel should have been in food wars but I understand why they didn't. This is an early Christmas gift to you guys and I hopefully will be able to pump out another chapter before 2017! Enjoy!

Chapter 14: The chocolate Shokugeki!

"Thank you for the other day."

"Don't mention it."

"SCREECH!"

"MICHAEL!"

"His..a...ko?"

"AH!"

Michael sat up from his seat and realized that he was on a plane. He was in a cold sweat and quickly regained his he began to have his surroundings, he held his head.

'Another nightmare… It's still been of that day. I didn't think that it would scar me that badly.'

Getting off the plane, Michael made his way through the Japanese airport and had it to baggage claim. After grabbing his bag, Michael made his way outside and flagged for a taxi.

'Ugh, I am so sore. Hopefully, Doctor Jackson can get me some good painkillers.' Michael thought as his car had left the airport. After a long plane ride, Michael had been stiff for the entire way to New York. Not to mention he had now his bags plus a 1.6 million dollar Violin now. He was going to have to get used to that one.

As the Taxi drove him in front of Totsuki academy, a security guard gave a signal for Michael to roll down his window.

"Name please?" The guard asked.

"Michael Xion." Michael simply replied. The security guard looked at his board and noticed that he was on a list.

"You are actually here with perfect timing. You need to get to the main courtyard as quickly as you can. They have an announcement for all of you freshmen."

"Oh okay…" Michael was slightly confused that he was on a list. But he wasn't going to say anything about it. The gate was raised and Michael's taxi went into the taxi first took him to the Polar Star dorm and was then going to drop him off near the main courtyard.

"I am home!" Michael yelled throughout the house. Fumio was the only one who came out. It seemed the rest were in the courtyard.

"Michael! It's been a while! How have you been?"

"Fumio-san! I have been better. Do you mind taking these up to my room? I actually need to get going the main courtyard." Michael asked.

"Sure! However, you will be staying in 109 now. Because you can't get up to your other with the wheelchair." Fumio explained.

"Alright! See you later!" Michael said as he wheeled himself out.

As Michael left Fumio noticed two things. One was that Michael's entire look reminded her of his father. His outfit also helped his silver hair and reminded Fumio a lot about Manny. The other was the case that sat next to the suitcase. It's fine leather finish and shape wouldn't escape Fumio's eyes.

'Leah huh?' Fumio couldn't help but smile. She remembered all the times Leah had played the Violin during the night. At first she Fumio kept trying to get Leah to stop playing. However, it ended up not working and overtime Fumio and the rest of the dorm loved hearing her play. Well… Everyone except that man.

Totsuki Main Courtyard…

Michael made his way to the main courtyard and saw a lot of people standing around a hot air balloon. From what he was able to gather someone was announcing something. And moments later a big board with a ton of names on it appeared. It looked important and Michael went ahead and saw what all the fuse was about. As he went to the board he saw a lot of kids crying or cheering. He didn't quite know why but regardless made it to the away he saw that there were two separate groups. An A and B group. He quickly saw that he was in group A.

'If that's the case… There is only going to be a certain amount of winners from each group. Then they might have to duke it out…' He was rolling away when he accidentally rolled into a blond guy and a somewhat chubby dude.

"Oh sorry! I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going." Michael said very sheepishly.

"No problem… Wait… Silver hair and in a wheelchair?! YOUR MICHAEL XION?" The blond pointed his finger towards Michael.

"Ni-chan you are scaring him." The brown haired figure stated.

Realizing his mistake the blond coughed and tried to play it off. "Sorry for the sudden outburst. I am Takumi Aldini." The blond held out a hand. Michael took the hand and shock it.

"I am Isami Aldini." The brown haired figure simply waved and Michael waved back.

"So how do you know me exactly?" Michael asked wondering how this Takumi knew about him but he didn't know anything about him.

"Yukihira mentioned you and after the Totsuki Resort stage everyone's been talking about you," Takumi explained. "Apparently Soma was complaining about the amount of Shokugekis you have been getting but how he hasn't gotten any. BUT IF ANYTHING I SHOULD BE FRUSTRATED BECAUSE HE HASN'T CHALLENGE ME!" Takumi yelled towards the sky. Michael rolled over to the other brother and whispered to him.

"Is he always like this?" Michael asked. Isami simply nodded and saw his brother going through his normal speeches about Yukihira.

"OI! YOU THERE WITH THE SILVER HAIR AND FAKE!" Someone shouted from across the courtyard. Michael gripped his wheelchair hard and turned to the person who called him a cripple.

"Who are you calling a fake?" Michael turned to the guy. But instead of using a loud voice, he was calm and collective. He used his silver eyes to gaze his into the person's soul.

The man who had called out to him stumbled backward in surprise. He had never seen a terrifying sight. He struggled back to his feet to show he wasn't afraid.

"I am the leader of the Chocolate RS Club! Aoi Kohaku!" The man shouted loudly.

Michael had never really heard of the RS clubs. He did know that they are usually people in their second or third year. Based on this guy's attitude it looks like he was the first year for him. His black hair and brown eyes combined with a somewhat big body. He was tall standing at 5.11 inches and weighed almost 240 pounds. He was the leader of the Chocolate RS Club for a reason. Takumi and Isami tensed a little when he had heard that he was the leader of the Chocolate RS club.

"...Okay. Nice to meet you Aoi Kohaku." Michael simply reverted his eyes and turned back to Isami and Takumi.

"Wait a minute you bastard!" Aoi quickly ran in front of Michael and stopped him from progressing any further. "I challenge you to a Shokugeki!" Everyone in the courtyard gasped at this declaration of war.

Although Michael had never really experienced one before he did know the rules. Well, he actually would not have if his dad didn't explain them to him. Two cooks must agree to a showdown, an odd amount of judges, and a theme.

"What do you want exactly?" Michael asked. He hadn't even seen the guy before. Takumi and Isami meanwhile gave Michael credit for standing his ground.

"There is no way that you have beaten the God's Tongue! I refuse to believe that garbage! Therefore I am challenging you for your spot in this year's autumn election!"

Everyone in the courtyard either yelled or began to whisper amongst themselves.

"Seriously?! Challenging for a guy's spot in the Elections this year? Has this ever happened before?"

"But… That guy… He has no reason to accept!"

"Yeah! He could just not accept the Shokugeki!"

"He is a coward if he does that!"

Michael simply sighed. "What could you even give me in return for that? According to the rules, you have to give something of equal value to my spot in the election." Aoi simply pounded his chest.

"If you win, I will give you Chocolate RS and I will leave this academy." Aoi glared at Michael. Takumi and Isami gave Michael credit for standing his ground.

Michael could feel his resolve thanks to his Tongue. He wasn't going to say no to a man who has already decided the path to walk. Although he didn't want his expulsion, he knew that was the only thing of value. The autumn elections are one of the only times to show off. If you don't at least make it there you could kiss your time here at the academy goodbye.

"Very well Aoi. I accept your challenge. The theme will be…" Michael whispered so only those around could hear him.

"HM?! Are you sure?"

"Oi! Michael Xion! Are you crazy? That's…" Takumi began to speak but was quickly cut off.

"Bye Aoi. I will go hand in the papers."

Totsuki Main Headquarters…

As Director Senzaemon looked towards his papers he saw that the Autumn elections had been decided by the elite ten.

"Hmm… This year of gems is very interesting… Who will come out on top?" The director of Totsuki sat in his chair looking through all the applications he had gotten.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in." The director acknowledged the knocking.

"Pardon, the intrusion." A figure came in. Or rather wheeled in.

"Ah… I see you have changed a little bit. Michael Xion." The director smiled as he saw Michael with his new attire.

"Yes, well I had to at some point." Michael sheepishly closed the door behind him. "This is for you Director Nakiri." Michael handed over the paperwork and the director couldn't help but laugh.

"I see. Very well. It will be in three days. But don't underestimate your opponent on this Michael. He isn't a pushover."The director said looking at the papers. He couldn't believe that Michael would do something like this. 'He must have a lot of confidence. Manny… You created a monster…. HAHAHA!' The director thought as Michael had already left the room.

Back at the polar star dorm…

"I'm back-" Michael didn't get to finish though as he got a hand across the face.

"Michael! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! WHY DID YOU WAGER YOUR SPOT IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION HUH?" A frustrated Yuki asked while Michael was still staggering from that hit.

"Yuki! Calm down!" Megumi tried to make sure that Michael didn't get hit again.

"You start trouble the moment you get back huh?" Ryoko asked as if she was expecting it.

"HEY! That sounded like I always cause trouble!" Michael exclaimed.

Dead silence.

"I am not that bad am I?"

"Whatever. How do you guys even know about it?" Michael asked curiously on how it got out so quickly.

"Oh! I can answer that!" Soma pulled out a magazine and handed it to Michael. In big bolded letters it read:"THE FIRST TIME IN TOTSUKI HISTORY! AOI KOHAKU CHALLENGES MICHAEL XION FOR A SPOT IN THE AUTUMN ELECTION! THE LEADER OF CHOCOLATE VS THE DEVIL!"

"Geh! Man news traveled fast. AND WHY AM I A DEVIL?" Michael shocked to see that it already made the papers.

DING!

Michael pulled out his phone to see that Hisako was calling him.

"Hello-" Michael began to answer but was interrupted.

"WHY ARE YOU ALREADY CAUSING TROUBLE THE MOMENT YOU GET BACK IN TOWN? AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU CAME BACK!" Hisako yelled through the phone.

'Man, I really got to stop causing trouble for everyone.'

"Look Hisako, it's not like I had a choice in the Shokugeki. The man was determined to take my spot in this year's Autumn election and so I decided why not?" Michael grinned on the phone before continuing to tease her. "Besides, why are you worried about me? It couldn't be that Arato Hisako actually cares about someone besides Erina?"

Although Michael couldn't see Hisako's face he knew exactly how she was feeling.

"HUH? No way! Absolutely not! Forget I said anything! I hope you lose your Shokugeki and get kicked out of the tournament!" And with that remark the line was cut.

'Geez… If you are going, to be honest with yourself just say it out loud…'

"Anyways that's how it is. I got a few days to prepare and then I have to begin focusing on whatever topic we get for the election in the next few days." Michael wheeling himself to one of the test kitchens.

"Eh? Michael, you are already going to prepare for the election? But what about the Shoukgeki? Shouldn't you be more focused on that first before the elections? After all, if you lose in the Shoukgeki then you will not even be in the election!" Megumi tired to explain to Michael who had stopped rolling.

"Yeah… Normally that would be the case Megumi." Michael turned his chair around and stared at everyone present. He activated unconsciously his silver eyes and spoke. "But… I need to have every advantage I need for this tournament. I can't afford to waste even a single second." His eyes quickly changed back to the normal black and he rolled away.

Isshiki, Soma, Yuki, Shun, Megumi, and Ryoko were all shocked by the appearance of these eyes. It was the first time they had seen a change like that. They were all frozen in place until the door shut to the test kitchen. They had forgotten to breathe and Soma was the first to get out of his trance.

'Michael… Just what was that?' Soma thought to himself. 'It was even more intense than dad… It was like a devil…'

'Jōichirō-san…' Isshiki thought to himself.

Flashback right after everyone had gotten back from the Resort and partying

As the partying continued Isshiki was taking a break simply drinking some water and sitting off to the side. He watched his fellow dorm mates laughing and having a great time. He noticed that Joichiro who they found out was Soma's father was coming towards him.

"Hey, Isshiki?" Joichiro asked the seventh seat.

"Yes? What do you need Joichiro-san?" Isshiki was curious as to why Joichiro called his name.

"Is there a boy here that goes by the name of Xion?" Joichiro having a mood change around him.

"! Yes… There is. His name is Michael. Michael Xion. But how did you know about him?" Isshiki now very curious about how he knew Michael's last name.

"Well… I just knew his father and wanted to see if he was back yet. But I guess he is going to be gone for a while." Joichiro thought back to the airport where he had seen the silver haired boy.

'His father?' Isshiki thought to himself. "What was his father like?"

"If they called me a demon for cooking then they should come up with a different name for that man. Although he wasn't as good as me for cooking, back then he had a stare like no other. He was known as a devil and would always be able to scare his opponents into submission." Joichiro explained to the 7th seat. "But please don't tell the others about his father. After all, he asked me to keep it from spreading out." Isshiki only nodded in agreement.

'At least he will be for now. I wonder what manny is going to do about him.' Joichiro thought to himself.

End of Flashback

'That was… The devil's glare?' Isshiki could only imagine how terrifying Michael's father was.

A few days and hours before the Shokugeki…

"Ah…. Hm hm hm… Delicious! It's done!" Michael thought to himself.

Michael was in the kitchen currently testing his final dish for the upcoming shokugeki. He had come a long way for the dish and he remembered that he needed to stay focused for this. After all, he had to complete his training that his father gave him.

Ding! Ding!

Michael looked at his phone to see that he got a text from an unknown number.

Aoi is going to cheat throughout the match. If perhaps you would be willing to join, I would be willing to help. Reply to this text by 10 if you are accepting this offer.

'Who is this? And why would they warn me about such a thing? I am not going to take this person's offer…' Michael thought. 'Besides… What I have isn't going to be expected.'

As Michael was leaving for the main hall a few figures looked at him from a distance.

"It doesn't look like he is going to come to you."

"I see. That's a shame. Then we shall see Michael Xion fall." The figure smirked at the thought that a thorn in his side would be eliminated before the elections.

Michael rolls over to Isshiki who was working in the fields.

"Isshiki-senpai. I need a favor."

"? What is that Michael?" Isshiki wondered exactly what Michael would need from him.

Main hall… 30 minutes until Shokugeki

'My first Shokugeki huh? I wonder how dad and mom's first Shokugeki went. I wonder if it was something as trivial as this.' Michael was sitting on his wheelchair and thinking about his mom. 'It's been awhile huh? Emma is supposed to be coming around next week and that food from America should hopefully last. Maybe I should go to her grave. Lately, I haven't been thinking about Mom or Emma. But we have both gotten so busy and dad turning over a new leaf all of a sudden. I will try and keep my emotions in check for this one. I don't know if mom would be proud of how much aggression I have been showing.'

Michael had also put a lot of thought towards the text this morning. He also had the lights slightly dimmed as he was watching a Shokugeki and trying to see how Aoi's style of cooking was.

'It doesn't make much sense… Why would Aoi cheat his way for a spot? I didn't feel that kind of vibe from him at all. His emotions were only disbelief and determination to beat me. I didn't feel like he was the cheating type. And who exactly was that who texted me this morning? Were they trying to help me, or were they trying to set me up?' He looked at that text again that he got from that number.

When he looked back at the screen he saw that the Shokugeki was over. And gasped at what he saw on the screen.

"No! Please give it back! I will do anything you want just don't take that away!"

"Sorry man, but this is going to worth something. I am taking your secret recipe and going to sell it for the big bucks!"

Michael was now furious at what had happened. He couldn't believe that Aoi would use a Shokugeki for that reason. He felt his anger rising and he felt his eyes turning silver.

'Calm down Michael. It's unthinkable but I need to try and control this.' Michael suppressed his anger with his emotions.

*Knock Knock*

"It's open!" Michael called out to whoever was at the door. He didn't even bother looking away from the Tv but he did tuck his phone away. When he didn't hear anything being said he paused the video on the tv and looked up. He gave a slight laugh and looked at the figure.

"What? I thought you were mad at me? Weren't you the one who said I was going to lose?" Michael asked the person in question.

"I didn't mean it like that…" Hisako now being kind of nervous for all it was worth. In truth, she was worried about the silver haired man before her. She knew that Aoi was strong and it wasn't going to be an easy task for him. At least that was what she thought.

"I am just worried is all." Hisako simply said without meeting Michael's eyes.

'She really is worried. I am pretty sure without my tongue I could feel the amount she is worried. She does truly care about me. I wonder why. Maybe it's because I am the first thing besides Erina that she can have some fun with. Or that other thing… But now's not the time.' Michael rolled over to Hisako as her eyes continued to see only her toes and the floor. He put a hand on her shoulder.

"Just watch this match okay? I swear I will not lose." Michael gave a cheeky little smile and wheeled out the door and couldn't help but notice the small smile Hisako had. Unfortunately for Hisako though she didn't notice a hint of silver and blond around the eyes.

Arena..

"Everyone! Hello! I am your favorite announcer and host for today the super cute Urara!" Urara said giving her signature pose towards the crowd and camera.

"Ohhh! Urara-Channnnnnn!" The fanboys cried out as all the other women gave them and Urara death glares.

"Today we have a Shokugeki between the Leader of Chocolate RS: Aoi Kohaku and the man who took the name of a devil: Michael Xion!"

"From the Blue Corner, the chef that surpassed his own limits and has beaten the God Tongue on a wheelchair, it's Michael Xion!"Urara pointed to the blue corner as Michael began to roll in with a determined look.

"And from the Red Corner, the leader of the Chocolate RS and has an impressive record of 10-1, Aoi Kohaku!" The leader of the Chocolate RS club ironically was chewing on a chocolate bar out of his tunnel. He held both his arms in the hand with a pose. The crowd seemed to love it.

"You better be prepared to lose punk." Aoi mockingly said as he threw his chocolate wrapper towards Michael. Michael had a fist and punched it away towards the stands.

"Sorry man, but I don't intend to lose," Michael said with at least one silver eye. While some didn't notice Aoi tried to stand his ground and was scared.

"Oh, my! Aoi was trying to provoke Michael but instead, he batted it away!" Urara quickly realizing the tension in the area.

"What do we know about this Aoi Kohaku?" Soma asked in a curious matter.

"Well, he made it past the Totsuki Resort stage but failed to make this upcoming election. But I have heard from others that he likes to do some off-handed cheating during his Shokugekis!" Yuki said ticked off.

"But how is that possible?" Megumi asked. "I mean if anything happens that could be considered cheating, wouldn't the staff step into help?"

"That's where it gets tricky," Shun answered with a frown.

"You see Aoi has a good amount of power at this school. Even though he doesn't look like, he has a good amount of money and resources towards this school. That's why he is the Chocolate's RS leader in the first place." Marui said adjusting his glasses. "It's going to be a tough match for him if he paid any of the judges to look the other way.

"I hope he knows what he has gotten himself into." Ryoko looked nervously towards the competitors.

"Oh? Look who is in the booth today?" Isshiki said with a smile on his face. Towards the VIP booth, everyone saw a blond and purple haired figure all too familiar.

"... Erina?" The polar star dorm and the rest of the crowd now focused on the elite ten room. Everyone saw Erina and her aid Hisako in there waiting for the Shokugeki to start.

"Why would an Elite ten member be considered about this small scale Shokugeki?" Mauri wondered as he adjusted his glasses slightly.

"Well, it does have something to do with the Elite Ten if you think about it. After all, they are the ones who picked the Autumn election participants. They must have been confident in their choices." Shun simply said but not convinced at all.

'So… She is a little worried. I guess that discussion really convinced her to come.' Isshiki thought to himself.

Even Urara was a bit surprised before moving back to her announcer duties.

"Now let's go over the rules! If Aoi wins then Michael's Autumn election spot is given to Aoi! And he may participate in this upcoming elections! If Michael wins, then Aoi's Chocolate RS is given to Michael! Additionally, Aoi will be expelled from Totsuki Academy!" Everyone amongst the crowd interpreted the information in different ways. But there was a man who didn't look too worried.

'That's not going to happen… Michael is quite the fool for giving me an advantage. And he has yet to see his surprise.' Aoi thought to himself.

"You will have one hour to complete your dish! Now… Today's theme is...Eh? Is this right?" Urara looked slightly confused as she turned to Michael for confirmation. He simply nodded his head. "Today's main ingredient is Chocolate!"

"EH?" The entire crowd completely shocked on what they just heard.

"But… Chocolate is Aoi's specialty! How on earth is Michael going to compete with that? Isshiki-senpai did Aoi pay for a theme for a Shokugeki?" Ryoko asked in complete shock.

"No that can't Ryoko. Because all Shokugeki requests go through the board and then to the director himself. Both signatures stating that they have agreed to the terms of the Shokugeki. It seems Michael chose this theme himself." Isshiki simply glanced back at Michael who still held his smug grin.

"That idiot…" Hisako muttered her breath. She knew exactly what type of person Aoi was. She even had a few Shokugeki with him as well. Being Erina's aid wasn't always so easy as she tried to defend Erina all the time. She almost experienced a loss against him due to the judges but still won 3-2.

"Hisako? Did you say something?" Erina said getting Hisako out of her trance.

"No. Erina-sama. So who do you think is going to win this match?" Hisako genuinely curious on what Erina thought of Michael and his opponent.

"Well, it's hard to say. I know Michael is quick, but that's all I know. Aoi is a second-rate chef going up against someone who almost beat you once even though the judges were paid." Erina said confidently. However, a slight frown came up. "After all that, though… Personally, I think who is going to win is…"

As the two began to take their stances or seats in Michael's case something caught the eyes of a few. And when Michael unboxed what he was holding some couldn't believe it!

"NO WAY!"

"Tsukasa Hinoura… Complete set of Knives!"

"Why does this kid have them?"

Aoi looked towards his prey and realized that this kid wasn't joking around. Especially if he had that type of knife waiting for him. But his trap was ready.

"With all, that in mind are both contestants ready?" Urara asked.

Aoi simply held his knife in his hand high while Michael looked readied in his wheelchair with his knife and his eyes turned silver.

"Let the Shokugeki… BEGIN!"

SHOKUGEKI! MICHAEL XION VS AOI KOHAKU! THEME: CHOCOLATE!

Aoi was the first to move as he began to prep for his dish. He first set his oven to 350°F and then began pulling different types of chocolate out.

"Look at all those chocolates!"

"Aoi, it looks like he is using white, dark, camel, and milk! Wait what is that?" Everyone began to look over and see a golden box waiting to be opened. Aoi opened the box and a treasure was discovered.

"Isn't that Chocopologie?" Erina quickly got out of her seat at the sight of the rare piece of chocolate. 'It's rare to find in Japan considering it's a European culture. Not too mention expensive!'

"This is my best piece to date! Not too mention, that truffle It's made of 70% Valrhona cacao, which is blended into a creamy ganache with truffle oil. The truffle is then magnificently hand-rolled with a dark truffle on the inside and dusted with cocoa powder. All the money here fools!" Aoi exclaimed with greed.

"Now what is Michael Xion preparing… Eh? Michael Xion seems to have not started! " Urara quickly pointed to Michael's stand and nothing was there.

"But…" Michael looked starstruck as he saw all of his ingredients smashed into pieces. The chocolate and all were unsalvageable.

"No way!" Megumi shocked how on they were smashed.

"This can't have been…" Ryoko covering her mouth.

"Isshiki-senpai! Is this really allowed?! We all know that he cheated to have Michael's ingredients smashed!" Yuki protested for her silver haired friend.

"Aoi is going to get a beating from yours truly!"

"For once we agree on something you idiot!" Shōji and Daigo both reeling to go.

"Unfortunately we can't interfere with the match." Isshiki losing his normally cool demeanor. He actually had a slight frown on his face. "We can only watch the results from here."

"It's what he deserves… But…" Erina didn't seem to care about the ingredients getting smashed.

'He honestly can't think that he would it end like this. Right Michael?' Soma thought to himself.

Aoi simply smiled and continued cooking as ten minutes had passed. Michael still looked shocked that all of his ingredients were smashed to pieces.

'What good are the knives if you can't cut anything you, stupid idiot!? It looks like he will never know that I got his ingredients smashed up. I am glad that Michael was stupid enough to leave them in the usual room where the ingredients are handled.' Aoi thought to himself.

Totsuki Main Arena: Room for ingredients ten minutes before match

"Hey! Stop we can't allow you in there!"

"This room is for staff only! We can't allow you to touch these ingredients!"

"Really? Then how about for this much?" The figure pulled out a check and the other two figures gulped in the amount.

"We… Can give you two minutes."

"Perfect. That's all I will need. Gentlemen we saw nothing here today is that understood?" The figures nodded. "Then let's get to work."

Flashback over…

"We have only 40 minutes left and Michael seems to be overall shocked! What is going to happen now?! Is the Devil finally throwing in the towel?" Urara asked as others began to wonder as well.

"Excuse me? But I have a delivery here for Michael Xion?" An old man appeared almost out of thin air next to Urara.

"Eh?" The entire crowd shocked that the man had asked for Michael.

"Oh! That's me! Finally, I was wondering when it would show up!" Michael replied. He whistled over on his chair and signed for a signature and the old man brought in a few boxes.

"What is he doing? This can't be allowed! Oi! Referee stop this!" Aoi began protesting.

"According to the rules, there isn't a rule saying that we don't allow students to order in the ingredients. It could be that Michael's order simply took awhile to come in." The head of Shogueki's simply stated before looking at his board again.

'Well, whatever. It's not like with forty minutes he can do much.' Aoi thought as Michael began unboxing all of his ingredients when Aoi noticed something.

"There isn't any chocolate at all!" Aoi exclaimed looking over at his table.

"That's right. My dish… Involves these!"

"Cocoa powder and Chocolate Liquor?" Soma thought out loud.

"Erina-sama. Is that…" Hisako began but was quickly cut off.

"I see… That's why you were so confident before." Erina had simply given an unassumed look towards Michael. The crowd though was furious.

"He is cheating!"

"The theme is chocolate!"

"Kick him out!"

"And what exactly is chocolate?" Michael asked the hall. "Chocolate is a natural product made of Chocolate Liquor and Cocoa beans! They are the main ingredients in chocolate! I thought you guys who have known that!" The entire hall went silent as realization sunk in.

"Now… Let's go!"

Michael sat in his chair and began to cross both of his arms across his body. Everyone in the room felt a slight breeze and all the air became warm. The air continued at a fast rate towards its epicenter.

"Impossible! Causing the wind like this!" Aoi exclaimed.

"Archangel mode!" Michael cried out!

Michael's eyes changed from a silver to a now shade of blond. Although the silver could slightly be seen it was overtaken by the blond. It seemed his original silver hair had changed a little from the silver to blond as well. His right eye was completely blond while the left remained his natural black.

"Archangel mode?!" Isshiki exclaimed along with everyone else in the room.

"This is quite the development! Michael now having new ingredients has brought out a new technique!" Urara trying to keep up with the current events as well.

'Damn. It's like Dad said. It's not going to be a while before I complete this.'

Flashback New York…

"Two techniques?" Michael asked as he began finishing with the violin he had received.

"Yeah. You see if we just ran out like an angel or devil we would never have made it this far. That's why we learned to seal our powers." Manny explained to his son.

"Okay… So what exactly are these techniques?"

Manny went over to the bookshelf and picked out two and tossed it to Michael. He caught it and read the cover.

Angel Technique Book Number 1: Archangel Mode

Devil Technique Book Number 1: Majin Mode

"Archangel mode?" Michael wondered. "Is this?"

"Yeah. It's your mom's book on how she was able to achieve it. Since you have both her blood and mine, it makes you a unique case. That's why it's going to be a little more tricky for you."

"What do you mean?" Michael was curious on how this all tied in.

"Listen up. My mode requires a lot of anger and a lot of spirits for it to work. Your mother's, on the other hand, requires calmness and calculative thinking. You have been sub cousinly using both."

"Eh? I have been using both?" Michael was confused. And how could he not be? Manny facepalmed and tired again.

"Basically, your eyes going silver is you trying to use one of the modes. But, since your body doesn't know how it functions it just shifts it to the emotion that you are feeling at the time."

"You don't mean… My Tongue?!" Michael realizing what his father meant.

"Because you felt anger, you have had a little taste of my mode already. Also, you are pretty smart in some scenarios too. It's like two colors trying to mix together constantly. The darkness and the light in a way. That's why it's silver." Manny said with a little smile. "But...It's not complete yet. The silver you have is nowhere near the level it can be. The silver you are wishing for will be much brighter than before. And your eyes will see something it has never seen before. Once you master both, the silver will be complete. Showing that you have both modes controlled."

After the explanation, a lot had made sense. It would explain the silver eyes thing. But then he thought of another problem.

"And Emma?! What about Emma?!" Michael quickly asking.

"Hmmm… I don't think she has the ability to access these modes. They require a lot of training and not to mention a lot of concentration to master."

"Thank goodness…"

"But be warned, Michael… You will not be able to complete this for a while. I do know a way though where you can at least access some of its power, though."

"Bring it on!"

End Flashback…

Author's Note: So what did you guys think!? Archangel and Majin mode! My own dubious creations! Finally revealing why this kid has silver hair, to begin with! If you don't understand still why let me explain. His Father was known as the devil while his mother was known as an angel. Both traits were passed down to Michael and as a result made silver. Because both traits couldn't win it simply made the color silver. However, he never knew that he could actually one or the other. That requires special training. Which he obtained from his father to learn about both modes. I hope that this chapter makes it finally uniquer than other stories out there! Peace out till next time!
