Food Wars: The Golden Hands

Russia...

Snow was falling down and coating the Helmet mansion white from all angels, it was cold outside, so cold that a man can freeze to death, but inside the mansion, it was so warm and comfortable, not because of the air conditioners or the anti-cold mechanism installed inside, but because the Helmet family was celebrating the pregnancy of one of Alexander's fianceés; Rindo.

Amanda has insisted that the family should gather together to celebrate such news. And she went out of her way to Japan and get her carefree grandchild and his girls back to their homeland, she even beat her daughter and Alexander as a punishment. It wasn't a pretty sight at the least.

While the women were gathered down in the living hall, the men were on the stairs of the second-floor watching.

Down was Alexander's mother, grandmother, Alice, Leonora, Rindo's mother, and Erina which were all surrounding Rindo and sharing their joy together.

As for the men, Alfred looked at his grandson who was watching his girls laughing and joking around with rosy faces. He cleared his troth "It is a little late but... congratulations!" he said. Alexander looked at his grandfather and shook his head.

"I am sorry for my behavior, it seems that I didn't take the matter seriously." After getting some sense whipped in him by his grandmother, Alexander felt bad at his behavior and apologized to everyone in the family.

"Well, all good. I can't wait to know if it is a boy or a girl!" Alfred started laughing.

"Of course it is a boy!" Alfie; Alexander's uncle jumped in "Our family has always produced the firstborn as a male then the rest followed randomly!" He said proudly.

"Yeah! But what if they are twins?!" Alexander looked back at his uncle and said with a smirk.

"Twins boys, that's nice too!!" Alfie laughed out loud.

"Isn't it!!" Alexander joined him as the locked hands and did their weird dance together. Alfred shook his head at his descendants' antics but he decided to join them in the dance while shouting "Twins!" together. They can't wait for Rindo's pregnancy to reach her 10th week so they can call Dr.Shawn so he can tell them the good news.

"Is this supposed to be some ritual of some sort?" Joichiro who was sitting on the stairs spoke with his chin on his fist.

"Something like that..." Roberto; Rindo's father said.

The family servants shook their heads too. Shanks and Kaido, and Keanu being the oldest serving servants got used to this as they have witnessed such antics when Alfie was born, then Alexandra, and then comes Alexander.

Shanks looked at his masters and smiled "It brings back memories!" his eyes watered with tears.

"How weak," Kaido commented, pissing off Shanks in the prosses.

"You want to fight?"

"Bring it on, Red-Head."

After finishing their dance, Alfred started panting "I-I am not as young as-as I was!" he said while leaning on the wall.

"But anyway, let us get serious for a moment. Alexander..." Alfred looked at his grandchild "We need to talk about that boy, he must die by the end of this year." His tone was serious and dark. Joichiro realized that he needs to go as this was way out of his league. The Helmet family's men entered their meeting room while the women were still celebrating.

After two weeks.

Two weeks went by, Amanda forced everyone to stay until she got her fill with her sweet daughters' to be in law.

At the mansion's door. Alexander was with Erina and Alice ready to leave while the others are standing to see them off.

Alexander looked at Rindo and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go back to Totsuki, Today will be your graduation day."

Rindo shrugged her shoulders with a 'Who cares face' "They will send my paper here anyway, I don't need to go see it." She said as she warmed her hands in her pockets "Besides...I need to prepare for my last stand in [Red-Tournament]" she added.

"Red tournament?..." Alexander wondered about that but he didn't ask, that is Rindo's own thing to take care of "Then..." He looked at Alice and Erina who are already waiting in the car for him "...I will see you soon."

"You better," Amanda said as she showed him her can sending shivers down Alexander's spine and making everyone break into a light-hearted chuckle.

Alexander, Erina, and Alice went to the airport and took their private jet, by the end of the day they were in Japan. After spending a night in a hotel together...in the same room...in the same bed.

The next day in the morning, they departed to Totsuki, the year is about to end and they want to know what happened after they left the arena back then to Russia.

As soon as Vlad and Keanu dropped them off at Totsuki's gates, other students immediately took notice of them and they started mumbling loudly.

"Its the Black King!!" one said.

"Alice-sama too!" Another added.

"The Head Master has returned!!" When Erina and Alice heard the word headmaster they looked around for their grandfather but they didn't find him, it was a little strange but they shrugged it off.

"Oh my god! he came back, the Black King is back!!" One female student who clearly was Alexander's fan took out her phone and sent one message in her group, and just a few moments later, the whole school knew that they have returned.

Students gathered and surrounded the three, Erina and Alice frowned at this sight, they didn't know what this meant but they didn't want to find out either. But before they can utter another word, Alexander raised his hand and he stepped forward.

"What is the meaning of this?" he asked.

One student stepped forward and represented the others "We have gathered here to express our gratitude to you." After those words, he bowed and the huge crowd of students followed him and bowed.

Alexander was shocked and Alice and Erina were marveled, never in Totsuki's history have all students agreed on one thing.

""""""""""""""""Thank you for saving our Totsuki!"""""""""""""""" One sentance was said at one time booming the whole area around them.

Alexander, Erina, and Alice were shocked and froze in their place. They found it amazing and fascinating at the same time...But little did they know that their shock won't end here.

After that event, the trio decided to head to the North Star where they can find their friends. As soon they entered through the door, they were welcomed by everyone. Takumi, Hisako, Isami, Natasha, and Hayama.

"Welcome back!!" they said.

Alexander smiled along with Erina and Alice "We are home!" they responded. Then came a long time of catching up to what everyone has been up to and clarifying why they left so suddenly

"I see...So that is why. I thought it was something more serious than that!" Takumi said as he leaned on the couch.

"Dude!! My grandma whipped my ass red!!" Alexander showed him his arm which still had a long red line crossing it.

"Dahaha!!!" Takumi and Hayama laughed at him.

"Yeah, yeah, laugh while you can," Alexander said begrudgingly.

"But what was all that thing earlier about?" Alice asked. She still can't understand what happened.

"Yes. Did something happened while we are gone?" Erina asked after her cousin.

Hayama understood and chuckled "Of course you don't know. The students that were expelled by central returned and many things changed. But the gist of it is that there has been a battle royal after the promotional exams were over To decide the next elite 10. you guys got the top 6 seats but 4 seats were remaining."

"Hoo!!" Alexander was amused, something that grand happened and he didn't know.

"What seat did I got?" Alice asked in a hurry, she wanted to know so badly.

"You got the 4th seat!!" Takumi aside, he then puffed his chest and looked at her mockingly "Of course...after me; the 3rd seat."

"NANI!!!!" Alice shouted "This is impossible, you're not stronger than me! Hand me that seat now!!"

Taumi smirked "Then we can do it through a Shokugeki if you want." he responded.

"Then let us go!" Alice dragged Takumi to the Shokugeki department to make their Shokugeki official.

"And me...?" Alexander shifted his gaze from the departing Alice and Takumi and asked Hayama.

Hayama looked at Alexander like he was an idiot "...You ask that? of course, you got the 1st seat. Who is worthy enough to take that place. You who have defeated 6 elite 10 at the same time!"

Alexander chuckled and rubbed his nose lightly "I just wanted to make sure!" he said.

"Here, drink this, Erina-sama." Hisako gave her master a cold drink as a refreshment. Erina took the cup and thanked Hisako and looked at Hayama "I suppose that I remained in my previous 10th seat considering that I didn't fight at all."

"Nah: you are out of the elite 10," Hayama said shocking Erina making her drop her drink on the floor.

"What??!!" she shouted and stood up. "How can this be??!!"

"It can be...After all, the headmaster can't be part of the elite 10!" Hayama laughed at her reaction.

"What are you implying?" Alexander frowned, he looked at Isami and gave him a questioning gaze.

Isami smiled as usual "Senzaemon-dono resigned his post to Erina-san shortly after the battle royal for the elite 10 seats." he answered.

Erina stood frozen in her place at this turn of event. In a day she was the last elite 10 but the next she became the headmaster.

"You must be joking with me!!" she said.
