Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here -Dante Alighieri

…

"Huh? Where am I?" Soma asked to no one, he looks around to see he is in a room, his room to be precise. 'I'm hungry… well a quick snack should help it."

As Soma got up from his bed, he quickly made his way to the kitchen. Before he made it to the dorm kitchen, he saw his fellow dorm mates eating together and chatting.

"Oh, Soma-kun you're finally awake! We were getting worried when Isshiki-senpai brought you back here unconscious" His first friend, Tadokoro Megumi happily said. Soma as about to thank his senpai when he suddenly realized.

'Wait?! Isshiki-senpai brought me back here? That means…'

"Hey Yukihira-kun you okay?" The brunette haired senpai, asked while waving his hand back and forth in front of Soma's face. "Huh? Oh sorry! Just got lost in thought for a second. HAHA!" Soma sheepishly said, while rubbing the back of his neck. "Oh yeah I remembered I didn't introduce myself properly. The name's Yukihira Soma, Nice to meet you all."

"The name's Yuki Yoshino, Yukihira-kun. The lady there who has purple hair is Ryoko Sakaki, the one with the glasses is Zenji Marui, while the quiet guy right there is Shun Ibusaki, and finally the two-muscle brain there is Daigo Aoki, and Shoji Sato."

"I'm Isshiki Satoshi, a second year. We welcomed you in to our beautiful dorm." Soma's senior said while suddenly appearing from behind the redhead.

"Hey, Isshiki-senpai! Were you going to tell us why you carried Yukihira-kun back here?" The orange-haired girl, Yuki Yoshino shouted at the back of huge wooden table.

It was at this time Soma sweat dropped. If all of them knew where he was just a few moments ago. Not only it will create rumors, Erina will hate him more. He can just imagine Erina shouting at him for letting his dorm mates know where he was.

"Ah yes! Someone from the Totsuki security division found Soma pass out on a bench. Well they did a little research and found out that he was staying here. Since I'm from the elite ten, and I'm staying here in our wonderful dorm. They contacted me." The brunette lied, making all of the other students laugh. He was thankful for his senpai, for lying. Because if everyone knew he was pretty sure he can't get to class, unless if fifty or so students from the student male body were to chase him. Out of all the things he was thinking, he suddenly remembered what his senpai said.

"Since I'm from the elite ten"

"Senpai… You're from the elite ten?" He asked in a somewhat serious tone.

"We'll talk about that later, Yukihira-kun. For now, let's enjoy this wonderful dinner made by our beautiful dorm mother." He shouted as he transformed from a wonderful tux to only wearing an apron. But the apron-wearing man didn't notice the deadly glare right beside him. As soon as he noticed, it was too late. he was smacked to the ground by a rolling pin and received a lecture from Fumio or the so called "Beautiful dorm mother"

…

"Senpai! Thanks for lying to the others." He said while helping his senior clean up. "I'm going to have to ask… did you know?" he shyly added.

After finishing cleaning up, the older man picked up a small wooden chair then sat on it. Soma sat on the other side of the table, and Isshiki started explaining.

Every word that comes out from the brunette's lips, every second that pass as he explained. Soma can feel his cheeks heating up. "Now that I've explained everything, I want to ask you a question… Why were you at the Nakiri Mansion?"

"Let's just say that my fame rivals the Nakiri name abroad… Since you're from the elite ten how about a simple, unofficial shokugeki?" He asked with a smirk. "Very well, Yukihira-kun. But please allow me to reintroduce myself… The name's Isshiki Satoshi. The seventh seat of the elite ten council."

…

"Erina-sama. Senzaemon-sama wanted to meet you in his office." A maid announced to the four teenagers eating their dinner.

"Fu Fu Fu. Ryo-kun! Someone's getting punished." Her white-haired cousin, Alice teased. "Alice-sama! Erina-sama must have a reason for knocking out that idiot!" Erina's aide defended.

…

"Grandfather.? Is this about Yukihira-kun?" She said while slightly opening the massive door. When she finally opened the door, she was greeted with her grandfather writing some notes.

"Erina. Please sit down we've got to talk about the accident earlier."

As Erina sat herself, her grandfather let out a small chuckle before continuing his speech.

"We both know your strength but… Knocking poor young Soma with a single slap is just unbelievable, Erina" He laughed at the flustered blonde. "I thought you liked him? You were so sad when he left ten years ago. You didn't even talk to Hisako for a week." He gave another hearty laugh. "G-GRANDFATHER! I don't li-like that stupid idiot, and I will never will!" She stuttered because of her flushed cheeks. "A-Anyway! Why did you even call me here grandfather?" She added.

"Oh yes! What do you think of Young Yukihira now?" Senzaemon asked with a sincere smile. "I think… He's still the same idiot, and his way of cooking is still below me!" Erina added with a smug smirk. "Hm? Is that so? If I'm correct he's the one who taught you the basics of cooking." Her grandfather asked knowing he had won the battle. Erina can almost pass out from the heat her cheeks are giving.

"Anyways you can go now… I've already gathered what I've needed." He said and the blonde timidly left the room. As soon as he was sure his granddaughter was gone, he quickly grabbed the telephone sitting at his desk and dialed someone.

"" RING""

""RING""

""RIN-""

"Hello. Joichiro! You've really answered my call" The old man gave a loud laugh.

"Yeah, yeah. Now what do you want? I've got ten minutes left on my break" The man on the other side of the call reminded.

"Why didn't you tell me young Soma followed your footsteps?"

"Soma got a reason for that, just ask him. But I think he won't answer it so easily… So why did you call? Did Soma get on trouble?" The older Yukihira jokingly asked. 'I swear this father and son, only likes to joke, even on serio occasions" Senzaemon thought, and made a mental note on how to learn to cope with these two.

"Looks like your prediction is spot on, Joichiro." He only received a 'hmm?' sound from the other end. Knowing that he didn't understand it. "You said they'll be together when they're on their high school years… Well looking at my granddaughter right now, I guess it'll happen"

"Oh that?! Yeah, I forgot about that. But to be honest I know from the start that they'll end up together. Hell, you even know it. You even suggested that we should arrange their marriage, you even said 'With them as a duo, we both know that It'll shake the foundations of the culinary world.'" Senzaemon can feel the big smile on the redhead's face.

"Haha! Well I've said what I've said. Good bye Joichiro."

…

"So, Yukihira-kun. What will be the theme?" The brunette asked while getting his knife from his suitcase.

As Soma got his knife from his brown suitcase, he tossed it into the air. Surprising his senior. As the knife went down, the redhead quickly flicked his right arm catching the knife before it reached the floor. "The main theme is Seafood. I hope you're ready…"

…

"Huh? What's this? A new stuck up transfer student Yukihira Soma…? why didn't you even told me that you're transferring? Well I'll just see you at the training camp, le chef qui satisfait chaque langue" A white-haired man mumbled, as he read the Totsuki newspaper, and the front page was Yukihira Soma's face.

"Hey Eishi finish your Work. Or I'll throw you outta the window!"

…
