He met all the residents of Polar Dorm, Shoji Sato, Ryoko Sakaki, Yuki Yoshino, Zenji Marui, Shun Ibusaki, Daigo Aoki and Megumi Tadokoro. He also spotted Souma in the group cheering as they were all somehow drunk from rice juice.

He got a cup for himself he quite enjoy the juice, he saw everyone enjoying food that each one made for each other. He sat himself next to Megumi seeing that she was trying to avoid the party, "Hey, you okay?".

"Oh, yeah. I am. I just want to try to avoid Souma right now.", she reply to the senior.

"Huh, why?", he asked the blue haired girl, he saw a container in Souma hands.

"Hey, Shinjiro-senpai want to try some of my food?", Souma asked his senior, Shinjiro then try his dish and almost vomited for the taste.

"The fuck is that shit?", he said to herself and saw it was kalmari in honey, "You shit! Why would you make something like that?'.

"I want to walked the path of cooking both disgusting and delicious.", he reply to his senior. And soon was giving a right hook from Shinjiro and flew across the room.

"Path my ass!", he was soon about to kill Souma but was held back by every boy in the room, "I'll kill him. Let go of me!'.

"Calm down down Shinjiro-senpai.", Isshiki pleaded with his senior.

After a while Shinjiro grew tired from killing Souma and decided to sit down throughout the entire party. It was only him, Souma and Isshiki awake from all the chos. Isshiki soon went to the kitchen to cook something, Shinjiro saw that the 7th seated was up to something.

He saw that he brought spanish mackerel for the the both of them. Souma and Shinjiro were engulf from the freshness and spring flavor of the mackerel. Isshiki soon began to explain how he was the 7th of the elite ten, "But, I know that Aragaki-senpai here could be even better than me!".

"Huh, Really? Is that Shinjiro-senpai?", Souma asked his senior.

"Nah, Isshiki just playing with you Souma.", Shinjiro reply and decided to get up from the floor to leave the room.

"Wait, Shinjiro-senpai!", the teen stop at the door, "Can you have a cook off with me?'.

Shinjiro was surprised, but saw that Souma wanted to face him, "Alright, meet me in the Kitchen.'.

Souma got up from the floor and put on his head band, "Alright!".

He and Shinjiro were inside the kitchen, with Isshiki serving as a judge. Their theme was Mackreel that Isshiki was using.

"And began!'.

Shinjiro garb hi ingredients, garlic cloves peel, paprika, sea salt, olive oil, mackerel with the skin, new potatoes, scallions trimmed and thinly sliced, saffron, white wine vinegar, dijon mustard, virgin olive oil and pepper, "alright let's do this".

After a while both chefs were finished with their dish, and presented it to Isshiki. Souma was up first he Mackerel rice ball with tea. Shinjiro look in Isshiki eyes and nodded, "He used Poele in his dish.". Isshiki tasted the dish and so did Shinjiro, they were surprised by it juiciness of the Mackerel.

"Souma I never knew you know about Poele who taught you?", Isshiki asked his junior.

"Oh, I learn it with my dad!", Souma reply to his senior, "So Shinjiro senpai what did you make?'.

Shinjiro smiled and presented his dish, "I got from you Roasted Mackerel with Garlic and Paprika.", the fished was roasted with crush potatoes drizzled with a yellow sauce over it, "Enjoy!".

Isshiki took a bite out of the dish, and was amazed it crispness and garlicky flavor, "Shinjiro-senpai the fish has an amazing flavor and the sauce simply amazing!'.

Souma tasted the food that his senior made was amazed by his food,

Souma was now in a sea of the yellow sauce with chunks of potatoes Shinjiro made with Mackerel swimming around him.

"Ahh! Shinjiro-senpai this dish is amazing!", Souma eyes widen to taste the dish, "These Potatoes go so well with the Mackerel. How you do it?".

Shinjiro smiled, "Well, I first put the garlic and paprika into a mortar, added salt and pound it to a smooth paste. Added a few drops of olive oil. Then rubbed the fresh side of the mackerel.", he explained, "The sauce there is called Vinaigrette. I used saffron, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and fresh ground black pepper.".

"I then place the mackerel in the oven for at least 8 mins to have the skin crispy. While that was happening I began to boil the potatoes in large pan of salt water for 15 mins.", he pointed to the potatoes, "Then drain the potatoes, and place them back in the pan with olive oil. Crush them lightly with a fork and then add scallions, stir it in to combine it. Season it with salt, then add a couple of teaspoon of the Vinaigrette. I finally served the crushed potatoes on the mackerel and drizzle some of the remaining Vinaigrette on the potatoes.".

"Woah, Shinjiro-senpai that amazing! Who taught you how to cook?", Souma asked the punk looking teen.

"Oh, I actually was self taught.", he plainly explain to Souma with straight face.

"Ahhhhhh?", Souma yelled from his expression.

"Yeah, I used the cookbooks of the Nun that was in charge of my orphanage to get the basic down. And began to cook many different styles of cooking.", he told Souma, "it help me be creative for feeding the kids back in the orphanage.".

"I see Shinjiro-senpai, but how do you cook in general in being self taught?", Souma asked his senior.

Shinjiro then place his fist on Souma chest where the heart should be, "I bring out the heart of the dish.".

"Heart of the dish?".

"Hmm, Every dish has a heart to it and in my cooking I bring out it potentially.", he gave an explanation, "if the dish doesn't show it ture nature it wouldn't able to give it ture flavor.".

Souma place his hand on his chin, "l see. So Isshiki-senpai who won?".

Isshiki gave himself time to think and came to conclusion, "The winner is Aragaki-senpai. His dish was filled flavor and crunchy. Your was good Souma-kun, but Aragaki-senpai made every part of his dish go all together.".

"Hmm, I agree. The dish was supported each other and focus on a flavor.", Soma gave his opinion, "You beat real good senpai!".

Shinjiro gave yawn, "Thanks, I think going to go and hit the hay!". He soon began leave the kitchen to go to his room, "oi, Souma! That was one good rice.". Souma smiled at his senpai words, and beanie wearing teen went to sleep.

In the morning…

Shinjiro woke up from his nap, he look at his phone, he got a message from Rindou. He wonder how she got his number.

...

Rindou:

"Shinji, Your match with one of the elite ten is in three days. Your theme is Lamb, okay?"

...

"Lamb, Huh? I better get some ideas on what to cook. I'll think sleep a little more.", he went back on his bed.

He then soon heard Isshiki, on the speaker, "Aragaki-senpai. We need help in the garden, please coming?", Shinjiro place pillow over his head, to ignored his junior request, but after an hour of his pleads.

He got his coat and went outside, to see the garden. As he did, he saw that garden was impressive, there was difficult kinds of vegetables. And to his surprise Isshiki in a loincloth, "You really like revealing yourself. Don't you?".

"Hello, Aragaki-senpai! Come on and work the field with me!", Isshiki told his senior, Shinjiro shrugged and helped out. After awhile he began to pick tomatoes from the vine, "So I heard about your Shokugeki".

Shinjiro placed the tomatoes in a basket, "I see you didn't tell anyone did you Isshiki?'.

The 7th seated continue to plow the ground, "No, but i'll come and watch.", he place the garden tool over his shoulder, "I can't wait what you'll cook next senpai. And mayde challenge you to a Shokugeki as well".

Shinjiro pick up the basket, "I'll think about, but I think i'll go and put theses tomatoes away and head to the kitchen.", he began to walk to the dorm, "Oh, hey Isshiki I got a question.".

"What is it senpai?".

"DO you know where I could get some spices?".
