"Speaking"
"thinking"
On with the story
A few weeks after the announcement of Joichiro having another son, Soma and the others were tensed up knowing that a noir chef was out there and uses Saiba as his name
Soma was sitting on a bench in the school's garden as his mind was processing the information of him having a brother
"damn pops, what the hell did you do before you met mom?" Soma said out loud as he thinks of the possibility of Joichiro having an affair with a woman before marrying his mom
Soma sighs before looking this knives' case beside him as he opens it and looks to his black knife
It shines before Soma closed the suit and placed it beside the bench
"haaa, this much thinking is going to burn my mind" Soma said before hearing footsteps beside him and looks to see that it was Erina
"mind if I sit beside you?" Erina asks with a smile as Soma smiled back
Erina sat beside him as Soma pulls her to him and gave her a peck to her cheeks
"are you still frustrated hearing that you have a possible Brother by Saiba-sama?" Erina asked as Soma nodded
"just thinking of him having a son before me, it's kinda…I don't know…annoying?" Soma said before Erina holds his hand and caressed it
"but we will get to the bottom of this" Erina said to him "together"
Soma smiled as he nodded
The two sat down together for a few minutes before Erina's phone suddenly rang
Erina answered the call as it was Hisako
"Erina-sama, the new lecturer has just arrived to Totsuki" Hisako said
"ah that's right, he was due today, wasn't he? Very well show him in" Erina said to Hisako before she hung up the phone
"a new lecturer?" Soma asked
"since some of the old lecturers were fired under the Azami Administration, the number of staff in Totsuki are a little and we have to find new ones to replace the empty slots" Erina explained
"wouldn't it be better if we rehired back the old ones?" Soma asked
"I did, but some are quite hard to convince on coming back" Erina replied
"hmmm" Soma hummed before Erina stands up from her seat
"well, I got to go, duty calls" Erina said before giving Soma a kiss on the cheeks "see you after school"
Soma waved at Erina who waved back before she leaves the place to himself
"haaaaaaa…..Saiba, huh?" Soma looks at the sky as it was clear of clouds and the sun shines down upon the land
Soma looks to the sky before he decided to get up and leaves the garden
Soma met up with Megumi as the two were checking out the classes and making sure that everyone is studying hard
Megumi was talking about what she and the other Polar Star Girls are planning for tonight with Erina while Soma nodded to her
As Soma listens to what his friends are planning, he overheard a loud racket from one of the classes
"what's that racket?" Soma asked
"ah, that's the classroom where the new lecturer is teaching at" Megumi answered as they went to the classroom
As they entered in, they find themselves a teacher with black hair wearing a sweater and long black pants and seems to be giving love advices to some male students
"you got the chance! And take it!" the man said to one male student who was blushing hard
"i-I don't know…" the boy stuttered
"relax! She knows you like her! So take the chance and be a man!" the teacher said to him
"so that's the new lecturer huh?" Soma said eying the man
"oh! Late comers, huh!?" the lecturer exclaimed suddenly appearing in front of Soma and Megumi
"eeep!" Megumi squealed in surprise while Soma was normal
"Sensei, they're not in this class" "they're members of the elite ten"
"really now?" the teacher asked with a smile
"yes, Tadokor-san is the Tenth seat while Yukihira-kun is the first seat"
"the first seat? Hmmmm" the teacher said with a hum
After the class was over, Soma and Megumi stayed in the class with the new lecturer who introduced himself as a man named Suzuki
"so you're Yukihira Soma, huh?" Suzuki said sitting across Soma while eating some snack
"what of it?" Soma asked drinking some tea
"it made me feel lucky" Suzuki said as he takes one of the classroom's kitchen knife and looks at the sharpness of its blade
Soma felt his body tensed up before his eyes glowed gold and his hair raised up a bit
"mind having a shokugeki with me?" Suzuki said as Soma placed away his tea and looks at the lecturer
"haaa…." Soma let out a low grumble "you…..you're no ordinary transferred lecturer, are you?"
Erina was running in the hallway and was making her way to the classroom where Suzuki was teaching at
A few moments ago, she was signing some paperwork before Dojima Gin visited her so unexpected
Flashback
"listen to what I have to say, Nakiri-kun" Dojima said to Erina who listens to him "the chef named Saiba has entered Totsuki"
"what!?" Erina exclaimed in shock
"I've got a call from Dr, Mcfree who is a friend of Joichiro who told me that Saiba is after Yukihira Soma" Dojima told her
"why would he want to go after Soma?" Erina asked
"it is currently unknown of what is his real motives but what we know of him is that he calls himself Saiba Asahi"
Flashback
Erina reached to the classroom where she finds Soma and Suzuki in a stand off against each other, but she sees Soma who is not like himself
"mind saying that again?" Soma asked in a darkish voice and a golden daggering glare to Suzuki who smirks to him
"like I said" Suzuki said while pointing his thumb at himself "I will be the one to take Nakiri Erina as my wife"
This surprised Erina but what really surprised her is what Soma's next action is
He punched Suzuki's face but the man caught his fist
Soma looks at Suzuki with dread and anger burning in his eyes
"don't go saying off some stupid things" Soma said with anger in his eyes "especially to me, her boyfriend"
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
