Chapter 2
The next day Yukihira Soma arrived in Tõtsuki. 'Its pretty big but still not as big as Chef Ramsay's hotel. Looks like pops over hyped it.' The young man thought to himself as he made his way to the examination hall. Arriving just outside the hall Soma could hear shocked murmurs in the crowd and entered just in time to hear a blonde chef say "Make any egg dish good enough for my palate and you pass. However if you want you will be given 60 seconds to leave the hall and given the chance to try again next semester". The nanosecond she finished talking all several hundred students stampeded out side in an desperate attempt to save their cooking careers. "How pathetic" Soma said with noticeable disgust in his voice. Looking over Soma saw that the blonde was about to kiss her pink haired assistant. As much as he wanted to watch Soma realised that getting accepted Tõtsuki was more important than watching two cute girls make out so with some regret the young man coughed just loud enough to get their attention. "Yo Erina long time no see" he said in a casual tone. The two girls quickly seperated obviously flustered that someone saw them. Nakiri Erina turned towards the voice and was about to have whoever interrupted her and Hisako executed when she saw Soma. She looked at him in absolute shock and her amethyst eyes widened. "Yukihira? what are you doing here?" she demanded. " I was going to take my transfer exam but if the examiner is busy I can wait". Soma said with a unreadable expression on his face. "No no please start your cooking." Erina said with what sounded like respect in her voice. Hisako who was watching the interaction between the two with a curious look on het face was suddenly deep in thought. 'Someone who Erina-sama knows and treats with respect?????? Absolutely unheard of.'
"Erina-sama?" Hisako asked nervously "Who is he?" After a brief moment of watching Soma cook in silence Erina turned to Hisako and asked "Have you ever heard of the legendary Asura?" "You mean the legendary Tõtuski graduate that was supposedly better than Dojima Gin?" questioned Hisako. Her mistress nodded and gestured towards Soma who was busy making some rice and said " That man right there is his son." Hisako stared at her mistress, blinked once then her jaw dropped all the way to the carpet stunned. "B-but if he had such a illustrious background how come I've never heard of him?" stuttered Hisako.
"Well" Erina said "It's no surprise. He's spent the last twelve years travelling the world with his father and they took measures to make sure they were not know in Japan". As they were talking Soma had approached them with three bowls of item number eight on Yukihira's secret menu. " Why is there three bowls." asked Erina "Oh the third bowl is for Director-sama hiding behind the door over there." A deep chuckle could be heard before a really fit old man with long grey hair and a yakuta robecame out from the shadows. "Hello Soma" Nakiri Senzaemon greeted before turning to his granddaughter and her aide who both bowed respectfully. "Alright Erina." Senzaemon said "Let us try the food." Erina nodded and turned towards the bowl of Transforming Furikake Gohan.
" itadakimasu" the trio said before eating. Hisako took a small bite and immediately passed out from the godly flavours of the dish. Erina was only slightly; her knees knocked together and she held the table top so tightly her knuckles turned white but even then the God Tongue couldn't stop a small moan escaping her lips. Nakiri Senzaemon was the least effected but Soma expected nothing less from the Foods Demon King but it still didn't stop Soma's dish from shredding Senzaemon's yakuta. Senzaemon turned to Erina and asked her "So Erina, was it a pass" The God Tongue thought about briefly before saying that Soma had indeed passed. "Well Soma see tomorrow for the ceremony I have to go, headmaster duties and everything" Senzaemon said before walking out of the hall. With the only Soma Erina and the unconcious Hisako left Soma suddenly moved right next to Erina and whispered in her ear in a sultry tone "I'm coming for that ass Erina" before leaving a flustered princess and a unconcious Hisako alone.
