"Speaking"
"thinking"
On with the story
The next day, the beach was crowded by visitors as everyone was doing their best to cook their meal
"hehehe, with my Papa's connection the prize got down and the Elite ten will fail" one second year student said with a small laugh as he cooked his dish for the customers
But for some reason, the stall of where he was working, was somehow empty
"where did all the customer go?" he asked before he got his answer as the Elite Ten stall was overfilled with so many customers
"you're kidding, right?" the student asked as he can't believe the amount of customers filling the place
"order up! Order up! Order up!" Soma shouted in the kitchen as his eyes were burning in flames "give me more orders!"
His hands cooked, Yakisoba, corndog, beer, and everything as the man was the only one cooking in the kitchen while the rest were serving up customers
"S-Soma-kun is sure riled up for this" Megumi said while serving some customers their drink
"but seeing him like that reminds me of how Kurokiba goes mad" Hayama said as this made a vein popping out of Ryo's forehead
"let him be, let him be" Alice said while in the middle of sun tanning "he is making the work more easier for us"
"don't slack off, will you?" Hayama said with an angry look as he was managing the register
A few hours passed and the Elite Ten completed their exam with the amount of 6.532.700 yen
Soma huffs angrily like Kurokiba do when he is in berserk mode as he wasn't stopping to cook at all
Two hours later, the beach was closing as the visitors went away
"man, today was a hard day, I'm so tired" Alice said while stretching her arms
"you were just slacking off!" Hayama and the others thought of the same thing
"hey! You guys!" Yuki and the others came as they congratulate the Elite Ten on finishing their exam test
Hayama was in the middle of talking to Ryoko and Yuki before he noticed that Soma was wandering off on his own
"hey, Yukihira, where do you think, you're going?" Hayama called out as the others look to the redhead chef
"yeah, we're planning for a beach party!" Alice said before throwing a beach ball towards Soma who caught it but it suddenly exploded in his hand
The deflated ball fell to the sand as everyone got shivers in their spine
"sorry…" Soma spoke out as his eyes glowed golden and his hair raging like fire "…but I'm not in the mood for it, mind staying away from me for a while?"
"s-sure!" everyone said as this Soma was a totally different normal Soma as this was angry Soma
Soma walks away before his phone ring
He takes the call and sees the caller's ID
"yeah….it's me….meet me there…if anyone forbids you from coming in…tell them that I let you in….yeah…..don't you dare chicken out on me….i'm needing your training after all….Nakiri Azami" Soma said as he hanged up his call before leaving the beach with boiling anger in his golden eyes
BLUE came in the summer as dozens of famous chefs came to the competition
Megumi and Takumi were in the competition as they were invited to it
"amazing! This place is humongous!" Megumi said in awe to the competition
"I see many famous chefs around here" Takumi said as his eyes sees many famous chefs everywhere "New York, Shanghai, San Sebastian,… there are all legends of their own"
Megumi look in awe before sensing something
The two turns around and sees a group of chefs coming in
"there they are" Takumi said crossing his arms "the Noirs"
The group of chefs had bad mojo all around them as some looks weird and some looks straight up like a punk
"thank you for coming everyone" the screen in the arena popped out as the WGO judge, Anne appeared in it "I Congratulate you all from the bottom of my heart, and for being selected for the BLUE"
"it's Anne-san" Megumi said, remembering the judge of the Regimen de Cuisine Shokugeki
"we are the people that have managed BLUE since we inaugurated it, the world gourmet organization, the WGO! However as you all are aware, we will be running this competition a bit different" Anne announced as he explained everything of how the rules of the competition played off
"and I present to you the Bookmaster" Anne announced as a person behind a wooden curtain appeared as they could only see the silhouette of the person
The bookmaster then explained the challenges that awaits them all as every chef has to pass three gates before reaching the final gate, the Heaven's keep where the Bookmaster resides at
"struggle! Over come! And claim victory! Ye young chefs!" the bookmaster announced as the competition had begun
Takumi and Megumi prepared themselves before they find Saiba Asahi entering the arena
"Saiba….Asahi" Takumi looks at the ring leader of the noir as every single dark chefs wants his head
Asahi saw Megumi and Takumi before he waved them off and then entering through the gates in front of him
"he has a free pass, huh? Knowing this, all of those achievements are all gained in years" Takumi said as Megumi nodded
"but I keep wondering on where is Soma-kun?" Megumi asked as they haven't seen the redhead chef anywhere
"he is a great chef and is bound to be invited to BLUE" Takumi said while looking for his rival "what I can think of why he isn't here is…."
"he must've forgotten on where he put his invitation at" Takumi said as Megumi can imagined that happening to the redhead chef
"enter" a staff said as the door opened again and this time Soma appeared
"Soma-kun!" "Yukihira!" Takumi and Megumi called out to the redhead chef as he approaches them
"what took you so long?! I told you to keep your invitation near yo-!?" Takumi was about to nag at his rival but he stopped as Soma's aura….was making him shiver in fear
"sorry…..Takumi…Tadokoro….." Soma spoke out softly as his eyes glowed darkly "I was busy…..training myself a bit…."
"Soma-kun's aura…..it feels just like…" Megumi felt scared as Soma's attitude and the way he talks reminds her of Nakiri Azami
"the trial is about to start so…" Soma started to walk away "…see you guys at the final gates, ok"
Takumi and Megumi watches as Soma walks away before noticing his signature white headband was not around his writs nor was his friendship bracelet
"Soma-kun…..what happened to you?" Megumi asked as she was worried on what he was doing before BLUE came
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
