"Speaking"
"thinking"
I'm somehow getting more ideas as I imagined how angry Soma and hating of him to be against Asahi
On with the story
The first trial of BLUE came as everyone was separated into their own groups
Megumi and Takumi were sent to their groups while Soma walks in his group that was mostly filled with Noir Chefs
"this is your first trial!" the staff announced out "pass it and make it through the first gate!"
An old man with an iv infusion and was on a wheelchair came in as he was the judge of the test
"make a dish that will be his last supper and pass" the staff announced as this made the noir chefs laugh and snicker
Many light chefs tried and many failed as none of their dish suited the taste of the old man
Many noir chefs tried for the first time and instantly passed
"kuhihihi, this is easy" one noir chef said with a smirk as nearly all noir chefs passed with ease "these light chefs are all weak"
"really now?" Soma suddenly spoke out as he takes out his black knife from the suit case
The black knife shines darkly as Soma grins to his blade
"hey, old man" Soma called out to the judge "if I pass your little test, can I ask this Noir to fight me in a shokugeki?"
This got all of the Noirs attention as they all look at Soma
"you're trying to ask for a fight here, buddy?" one noir asked Soma as the redhead turns to look at the dark chef and gave him a sickening grin
"if that is what it takes for a shokugeki, then ya" Soma replied as his grin sent shivers to everyone
"oh and not only the noirs" Soma then points to the light chefs as they tensed up to his dark voidless eyes "I want to have a shokugeki with them as well"
"hehe, fine by me, young lad" the judge said with a smile as Soma look at his black knife and to his reflection in the blade
The blade reflected Soma's image but his image was not himself but rather something quite monster like
Takumi and Megumi passed their trial with flying colors as they waited for Soma to come
"Yukihira….is he still the same?" Takumi asked as he was worried that his rival for some reason, changed
"I'm worried….i'm worried for Soma-kun" Megumi said before the redhead chef came out from his tent, alone
"oh, you two…passed, huh?" Soma asked with a small smile as Megumi and Takumi nodded to him
"good, that's great" he said before walking off "let's get to the second gate"
Takumi and Megumi looks at the chef before they went off and followed him
As Soma and the others passed the gate, it closed and left the failures behind
In Soma's trial tent, fallen bodies of both light and dark chefs littered the field as none were standing
"this is too delicious!" the old judge exclaimed as he was munching on a meal without stopping "that boy! He is a true genius of cooking!"
One noir seems to be still conscious but he was weakened and could barely get up
"t-that kid…" he spoke out with utter fear in his eyes "..he's a monster!"
The second gate opened as the first thing, Soma and the others see is a Japanese convenience store
"this is the second trial" Anne announced on the screen before a WGO judge came to the scene
"alright! Alright! Listen up!" the judge shouted out as her name is Lanterby, a WGO, second class invigilator "I'm going to tell you the rules only once!"
She explained the rule and it was to prepare a dish that is worthy to be given a price tag of 100$
"each of you will have three chances, and 90 minutes! If anyone fails, they will have to pay!"
This got many chefs confused on the rule as they started to think of a recipe to make while going into the store
"hey look" Takumi said as there were a group of chefs coming but one strikes their attention
There in the crowd stood Tsukasa Eishi, a previous Totsuki Alumnus
"Tsukasa-senpai!?" Megumi exclaimed in surprise as the white haired man heard his name being called by familiar faces
"Tadokoro-kun! Aldini-kun!" Tsukasa went to them as he looks anxious for some reason "I'm so glad to see some familiar faces!"
"Tsukasa-senpai must've gotten an invitation as well" Megumi said as Tsukasa nodded
"yes but being in the crowd of so many chefs and as well as these people who are wearing masks and disguises! What in the world are these noirs!?" Tsukasa said in a frantic before relaxing a bit "but coming here, I don't feel like I'm going to lose, in these past few months, I think I gotten a bit stronger"
Takumi and Megumi smiled as the former first seat was having a blast in cooking
"now that reminds me" Tsukasa said as he looks around the place "if you two are here, I assume that Yukihira must be here as well"
"he is..but" Megumi said before hearing a scream from the judge
"w-what is this dish!? It's too delicious!" Laternby exclaimed as in front of her was an Osechi but the osechi had so many various dishes in it that it looks like a jewellery box
"taste it" Soma said to her as he forced her to eat every single thing
Lanterby moaned in pleasure of the dish but Soma, he just keeps on forcing her to eat it all until it was nearly empty
"no more….i can't eat anymore…." Lanterby said but Soma grabs her hand and gives her the chopsticks
"wasting a meal…is bad, right?" Soma asked Lanterby as his aura turned dark "come on….eat it all to the last bit"
Lanterby looks scared to Soma as the man was like a real demon of cooking
"eat it all….eat it all" Soma said as he forced Lanterby to eat and eat before long
"uwaaaaaaaaahhhh!" she screams in pleasure before falling down unconscious but with a satisfied face
"oh….she passed out…" Soma said before looking to a staff that nearly pissed himself when Soma stared at him with those dark golden eyes of his "I passed…..right?"
"y-yes! You passed!" the staff said before another staff went to Lanterby and takes her away to the medic room
"aaah…..that was kinda fun" Soma said with a dark grin before looking to the Noir chefs near him "don't you agree?"
"what is this kid!? He's a fricking monster! He forced the judge to eat his dish till she fainted!"
"i-is that really…Yukihira-kun?" Tsukasa asked as he never seen such character from the young chef
The noir backs away from Soma who just grins evilly to them
"hey….let's have a Shokugeki…here and now"Soma spoke out as his voice filled the Noirs and light chefs with terror
Soma laughs like an evil cackle to the noirs before his eyes spotted Tsukasa Eishi
"ohh…it's Tsukasa-senpai, long time no see" Soma greeted the chef and walks away from the noirs
"y-yeah, long time no see" Tsukasa greeted him while a bit creeped out by his voice
"haven't seen you in a while, Senpai" Soma said "how is Rindo-senpai doing?"
"she's doing fine, thanks for asking" Tsukasa said with a smile
"good…good.." Soma said before walking off "I'll see you all later….i need to go to the bathroom for a second. Good luck on making your dishes"
Erina was at the inner citadel with other famous chefs as she was currently in conversation with Asahi himself
"where do you want to go for our honeymoon?" Asahi asked with dozens of magazine in his hands "there's Bali, Singapore, Thailand and lots and lots of more"
"are you so sure that you will win that you start planning on this whole charade?" Erina asked as she crossed her arms
"yeah, kinda" Asahi replied with a nonchalant smile
Erina sighs before looking away
"I've no intention on talking to you nor do I even know you!" Erina said "in the first place, I would never lose to you!"
"well then…" Asahi said as he leaned over the bridge, they were standing on "let me tell you a bit about myself"
Erina looks to him as he told her of his past, the past he had with his dreadful mother, the past where Joichiro came to his life and made it into the happiest memory, he ever had
"is this…his true self?" Erina asked as she watched Asahi reads the magazine on famous honeymoon trips
Anne walks in the hallway of the castle before she entered the room where the Bookmaster resides at
"the second trial have ended and it is just like you predicted, Bookmaster" Anne said to the figure behind the curtains "Yukihira Soma passed it as well"
"hmmm, that boy" the bookmaster spoke out "he is an interesting one, indeed"
"is it time to initiate the true BLUE?" Anne asked as the bookmaster nodded behind the curtain
Soma and the others entered the third gate as within the gates, awaited the Noirs
"looks like they're the top noirs amongst them all" Takumi said as he can tell that the other Noirs cannot compare to them
"aaah….they're those noirs, huh?" Soma said as everyone looks to him
Soma's eyes were glowing dark, his hair raging like fire. His smile turned into an evil cackling grin
"they're also the one who kidnapped Erina with Asahi, right?" Soma spoke again but this time was to his black knife "let's make them pay as we promised"
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
