"Man, that great Shinji. Your great cook no doubt that you be able to make it in.".

"Hmph, thanks Aki.".

"By the way if your such a great cook. How come you haven't cook for me, huh? All I've been eating have been beef bowls!".

"Huh? What do you mean dipshit. You eat that stuff because you like that stuff! Plus, why the hell would I cook for an idiot like you?".

"Huh, idiot? If i'm idiot your a bigger idiot Shinji!"

"Well at least not the one who makes wrestling matches in the middle of the night!".

"Oh, yeah? What about that time you went and brought in that stray cat! I got scolded beside you by Leah!".

"You know what bye! Talk to you never, Aki!", Shinjiro soon had enough of his friend and decided to hang up the phone.

He then enter the school, he followed the hallway that one of the attendants appointed him to go to find the Kitchen he was supposed to meet the examiners at. He found the entrance, but also saw a couch, "Man, I tried from that long bus ride. I'll take a quick nap before going in.". He then laid down on the couch.

Rindou was waiting for Shinjiro Aragaki to arrive, with her was Isshiki Satoshi and Kuga Tetsunori, "Aww, when is he coming? I want to taste his food!".

Kuga smirked, "Hmph, I guess he too much of a coward! I'll be taking my leave!".

"Oh, no you don't!", Rindou garb him from the arm, "I asked you to help me out! And you better not leave or I'll tell the director on you!".

Kuga scoffed and soon sat back down, Isshiki waited patiently, "I wonder what kind of food he cooks!".

The doors soon open to the kitchen the three was waiting, Shinjiro came in with his knife case, "Sorry, I'm late! I got sleepy and took a small nap at that couch outside.".

All three Totsuki students soon had a plank expression on their face, "So anyways let us introduced ourselves!", Rindou began to speak, "My name is Rindou Kobayashi.".

"I'm Satoshi Isshiki", the orange hair looking teen, "I hope you can make something delicious for us!".

"And My name is Tetsunori Kuga!", The one with a blonde highlighted portion, told him, "To tell you the truth I don't give a damned if you are!'.

"Hey, that was very nice! Kuga apologies!", Rindou scolded the Chinese ten.

"Nah, don't worry about!", Shijiro told Rindou, "That guy just pissed, because he ain't as tall as me!".

"The hell did you say!", Kuga screamed that the beanie wearing teen. Rindou and Isshiki covered their mouths from laughing out loud.

"Sorry, I can't hear you! Your too small to hear you from here!", He replied giving a little smirk.

"You, Son of a Bitch! I'll kill you!", Kuga threaten the tall teen. Soon a hand was placed on his shoulder, it was revealed to be Rindou.

"Now, Kuga! Don't go throwing a fit!", Rindou explained to her junior, "Shinjiro Aragaki do to the grace of the chairman! You are given a chance to take the third year examine! This test is nearly impossible to pass do to it high standards. And thanks to that, it is only able to be taken by the supervision of members of the Elite ten!".

"Elite ten?", Shijiro thought to himself, :what does that mean?".

Rindou gave a devious smiled, "Shall we introduce ourselves? I'm Rindou Kobayashi, the second seated.

"Satoshi Isshiki, the seventh seated.", Isshiki reintroduced himself.

"Tetsunori Kuga, the eighth seated.", Kuga also reintroduced himself as well.

Shinjiro eyes widen, "These guys are apart of the elite ten. They say these guys are responsible for the entire school do to their skills in cooking and I'm seeing three of them!".

Kuga saw his expression on Shinjiro expression, "HMph, Where's that confidence now?", as he finished those words he felt large pressure throughout the room, he turn to see Shinjiro. He saw an quick image of a black knight with blonde hair while riding a black stallion, Kuga flinch when he saw it.

"So, you guys are apart of the elite ten right?", he said to them with a smiled, "Good, I want to show you my skills! And I'm going to make sure you drop down fanit from my cooking!".

Rindou smiled at his confidences, "Well, then leet bring out your ingredient you be using!", soon a bunch of men came in with trays, of different vegetables, spices and meats. Rindou went towards one of the trays and pick up an whole chicken, "You must make a dish with chicken as the main ingredient! You have to make a dish out of it and you have no time limit. You think you can handle it?".

Shinjiro smiled, he rolled up the sleeves so of his jacket, "Hell, yeah bring it on!", he grab his knife case and open it! He soon began to pick his ingredients, a whole chicken, ground turmeric, ground coriander, black pepper, cayenne powder, salt, vegetable oil, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, large onion, cumin seeds, curry leaves, ginger paste, garlic paste, water, coconut milk and fresh lime juice.

Isshiki look at his ingredients, "it seems he's going to make curry!'.

"Oh, really! I love curry!", Rindou cheer in joy as Shinjiro began to cook.

Kuga only to continue to stare at Shinjiro.

Shinjiro first went and clean the whole chicken, he then began to cut up the chicken in a fast rate into 14 pieces. He place the chicken in a large bowl, and season with turmeric powder, coriander powder, black pepper, cayenne powder, black pepper, chili powder, and salt. He cover the bowl with plastic. He place the chicken in the refrigerator, "It will be an hour before the chicken is done. So got any question you want to asked me?".

To everyone surprise, Kuga was the first one to raise his hand, "Yeah, I got a question. Why do you cook?".

Shinjiro saw that Kuga wanted some answer, he smiled, "My best sister.", he replied, "She want something good to eat and I decided to try to cook for her.". He gave no more explanation to the Chinese question, Kuga still want to know more about him. So an hour had past, and Shinjiro pull the bowl of chicken out of refrigerator.

He then pour oil in a skillet in a large pan over a medium heat. He fry up mustard seeds, fenugreek, onion cumin seeds and curry leaves in the oil. The aroma filled the air, Rindou smelled it, it made her twitched a bit, "It smells delicious!".

He then place the garlic and ginger pastes in the pot. After a couple mins, he and in the marinated chicken, and soon a blast of aroma came out of it. All there examiner smelled it, it cause Rindou to drool.

Shinjiro then stirred in the coconut milk inside the pot, he stir it in until almost dry. He didn't want it stick to the bottom. He then stir in the lime juice, and cook until it was dry.

He garb three plates, he place in some pieces of the dry chicken in each plate. He then presented it to the examiner, "Present to you, Spicy Dry Fried Curry Chicken.".

"Ohh, this look delicious!", Rindou commented, as all three of them grab a piece

With fork and took a bite out of it, they soon were blast away from extreme spiciness and flavor of the curry chicken.

All of them imagine that they were in an indian style castle. Rindou wore a purple belly dancer uniform, she dance in front of a king that was covered by a vale. Kuga and Isshiki were playing instruments that Rinou was dancing. Soon the vale, flew open to reveal Shinjiro wear a royal indian clothes with multiple rings on his hands. He got off his throne and went towards Rindou, he grab her by the waist and pulled her to him staring in her yellow eyes.

Rindou was blushing red, "Shinjiro, this curry is amazing! Maybe, a little to amazing for me!", she took another bite out of it, "You have my vote!".

Shinjiro smiled, "Thanks, I appreciate it Rindou!". He look at the other judges, he saw Isshiki was on his seat and soon felt someone grabbing his hand. He saw Isshiki with anime tears.

"That simpling amazing Shinjiro-san... No Shinjiro-senpai! You have my vote, I have never tasted curry like this before!", Isshiki told the pea coat wearing teen.

Shinjiro weakly smiled at that 7th seated, "Thanks, but don't call me senpai. I aint into that shit.".

"Sorry, I can't do that!", Isshiki replied, "It too good to not call you my senpai! You must join polar dorm we currently have no third years and you would be a great example to the first years!".

Shinjiro wanted to argue but ultimately sigh in defeat, he turn to Kuga who only stared at the dish.

"So, what's your answer Kuga?', Shinjiro asked the chinese, wanting to know his answer.

Kuga sighed, "It good. Almost as good of food that we elite can make. But, you still need time to even match with one of us!".

"Well that settles it!", Rindou cheered and hug Shinjiro, "It looks like you enter the third year at Totsuki Academy, Shinjiro!".

He gave a smiled to the red head, "Thanks, Rindou.". It cause Rindou to blush a bit and let go of Shinjiro, "And by the way just call me Shinji. Okay?". She gave a quick nod to the teen, still having red in her face. He garb his belongs and left the kitchen.

"So, Kuga!', Rindou asked the 8th seated, "You said he was at least our level correct?".

Kuga gave a small nodded, "Yeah, I did. He seem to be at least at 5th seated level.".

"Yes, I agree with you Kuga.", Isshiki told his senior, "And I'm amazed he only just self trained! Just image how good he can become after the end of year.".

"He might just have Eishi have a run for his money for his seat!", Rindou commented out loud,"I guess I should go and tell Eishi".

Kuga then left the kitchen as well, as walked through the halls, he still remeber the image of that black horse, "Who are you Shinjiro Aragaki!".

Later…

Shinjiro walked out of the school with a smile on his face, with his acceptance letter in his hand, "I guess I made it Miki.". He then bump into a boy with red hair with a scar on his left eyebrow, "ops sorry kid didn't see you there!".

"Nah, it's okay!", the redhead saw the letter in his hand, "Oh, do you get accepted to the school?".

Shinjiro smiled, "Yeah, I did.", he saw the kid had a spark in his eyes.

"Well, don't you worry I'll pass the exam too!", the redhead proclaim to Shinjiro.

Shinjiro couldn't help, but smiled, "Good luck kid!". He then left the redhead in the plaza to go to the tell the knees to Leah and Aki.
