"Speaking"
"thinking"
On with the story
Soma, Megumi, Takumi, and Tsukasa, them four passed the third trial as they entered the inner citadel of the Heaven's gate where an arena awaited them
"must be a full house" a WGO judge said as the arena was filled with many spectators
"ladies and gentleman! In the red corner! A midnight chef! The female sergeant Sarge!" the announcer shouted out as one of Asahi's underlings came to the arena while wielding a customed chainsaw
"and her opponent in the blue corner!" the announcer shouted out as Soma appeared on stage "the current 1st seat of Totsuki, Yukihira Soma!"
"so, my first opponent is you, huh?" Sarge said while holding her chainsaw over her shoulder "how lucky of me to get rid of you for Asahi-sama"
Soma looks at her and did a small darkish grin
It all happened in an instant, it all ended in an instant
Sarge looks to the result of the match as her name had….0 votes
"h-how..!?" Sarge looks in shock as Soma stood in front of her with his dark grin still on his face "my dish…was cooked to perfection!...yet….it loss to yours!?"
"didn't I tell you back then?" Soma asked as he got face to face with Sarge
Sarge's eyes connected to Soma's golden dark eyes as his eyes were filled with nothing but void of darkness
"I'm going to make you all pay….one by one…..right?" Soma asked as Sarge was terrified of Soma
"t-the winner…is Yukihira S-soma" the announcer said as Soma became a very terrifying chef
Soma chuckles before he leaves the arena with a laughter of defeating his opponent in pure humiliation
The spectators watched Soma as some knew the young chef personally
"is that really, Yukihira Soma?" Dojima asked as he was in the spectator's seat
Joichiro was beside him as the father looks at his son with a sad face
"he is going to destroy himself at this rate" Joichiro said "we have to save him before it's too late
(Skipping Asahi and Tsukasa's match)
Soma walks in the hallway of the citadel before he reached to a room where there were many spectators in it but the challengers in the room where Takumi and another Asahi's underlings
"so, you come to watch, Yukihira Soma?" the les Cusiniers noirs, Don Calma said while holding a cognac bottle in his hand
"yeah" Soma replied while walking towards Takumi and whispering something to him
"a-are you serious?!" Takumi said as Soma nodded before pushing his friend away from his cooking station
"what are you doing?" Don Calma asked while rubbing his moustache
"I'm taking over" Soma said while holding Takumi's Mezzaluna in his hand "is that a problem?"
"yes, it is" Don Calma replied "are you going to take this challenge for yourself?"
"yeah" Soma said as he lifted up the Mezzaluna and looks at the blade's shine "I got permission from the judges after all"
Don Calma looks to the judges as they all nodded
"hmph! No matter, I shall defeat you and then Takumi-boy!" Don Calma announced out before he was too defeated by Soma in matter of minutes
"wha-what?" Don Calma looks in shock as his glasses fell off of his nose "he…defeated us!?"
"now that I'm finished dealing with you…" Soma said as he walks towards the noir chef and pulled on his collar, as it brings the dark chef to his knees in front of Soma "..get away from my sight"
Don Calma seen many things in his life but what he sees inside Yukihira Soma was a monster of cooking
Soma walks away from Don Calma as he went pass Takumi and patted his shoulder
"I'm leaving the rest to you….Takumi" Soma said all bored like that as Takumi was up against 3 noir chefs at once "break a leg…"
The Bookmaster watched the screen that showed the match of Don Calma against Yukihira Soma as it showed the head of BLUE, how fearsome he is
"bring in the bracket" The bookmaster spoke as Anne came and gave a piece of paper to the bookmaster
"she won't be needed here but him…he piqued my interest very much" the bookmaster said with a smile
"what is your wish, Bookmaster?" Anne asked
"change the bracket and …." The Bookmaster said before the room to the chamber was suddenly knocked
"who is it?" the bookmaster asked before the door slides opened and revealed Yukihira Soma
"Yukihira Soma!" Anne looks in surprise to see the chef
"hello there, bookmaster" Soma greeted the head of BLUE with a smile "nice to see you to as well, Anne-san"
"what brings the pleasure of you here, Yukihira Soma?" the Bookmaster asked
"can we talk a bit more face to face?" Soma asked taking a seat in front of the curtain "Nakiri Mana?"
"ho?" the Bookmaster sounds amused before the sound of clapping hands were heard next
The curtain lifts up and revealed a woman whose hair colour seems familiar to that of Erina
"you know of me? How so?" the woman asked with an interested smile
"someone told me of you" Soma replied with a smirk
"then, why have you come here? To my chamber?" Nakiri Mana asked
"I want to ask you to do something" Soma asked as Nakiri Mana raised an eyebrow to the young chef
Megumi and Takumi and the addition of Isami were in the central tower were talking to each other on the next round before they encountered Erina who was being in the middle of getting pestered with Asahi who shines his smile to her
"Nakiri-san!" Megumi called out to Erina as the blonde turns to look at her friends
"Tadokoro-kun! Aldini-kun!" Erina greeted her friends with a smile as she holds hand with Megumi
"I'm so glad that we found you!" Megumi said while in tears
"why? What's wrong?" Erina asked before hearing the crowds screaming and shouting
"looks like someone is having a real blast of a match" Asahi said as everyone went to watch the match and was shocked to see who is cooking
It was Soma and he was against 10 Noir Chefs at the same time
"So….ma?" Erina muttered out before an alarm rang and the noir chefs all fell to the ground
Soma stood in the center of them as he defeated them all with so much ease
A perfectly made meat dish was on the ground and was half eaten before it was stomped by Soma who looks down upon the noir chefs bellow him
"in the end..small fries are just small fries, huh?" Soma asked before grinning evilly and letting out an evil cackle
"w-what….what happened to him!?" Erina exclaimed, "this way of cooking….this isn't Soma!"
Nakiri Mana and Anne watched the match on-screen as Anne had never seen such a brutal and sadistic way of cooking in her time as a WGO judge
"interesting..Yukihira Soma….very interesting" Nakiri Mana said with an amused smile as beside her was the list of challenge brackets and the bracket that had Soma's name was crossed with 10 noir chef's names
"he is Saiba Joichiro's son, correct?" Mana asked as Anne nodded
Mana smiled as she flipped over her fan as it spreads
"if Saiba Joichiro is the Ashura of Totsuki…" Mana spoke out as she can see the Shura Joichiro beside Soma as both father and son shared a similar yet different aura "then the one who carries his blood….the spawn of Ashura should be called"
Soma looks down upon the defeated Noir chefs as he holds his black knife in his right hand
His hair waves around from the wind as his entire aura frightened everyone and even Erina
"Indra!"
that's a wrap!
Bye bye
