Food Wars: The Golden Hands

-------------------------------------------

Evening - Totsuki - HeadMaster Office

-------------------------------------------

"Mid-Term exams?!" Alexander raised an eyebrow at Erina "This early?" he questioned.

Erina who was looking at the papers related to the exam raised her head to look at Alexander with confusion "What do you mean this early? perhaps you should go take a look at the calendar, we are already late by a week."

Alexander sighed, each day is getting harder and harder to keep up with Totsuki 'Should I just leave and do my own stuff? Rindo is pregnant and shit anyway.' Alexander thought. But again, he can't just leave Alice and Erina alone here unprotected, although they have their own guards, but he can't rely on some unknowns that he never has seen before.

"Anyway, what is this exam about anyway? another hellish training camp? or maybe another Stagier?" Alexander fell on the couch with his arms stretched.

"Well, something like that." She didn't want to cheat and give him the information.

"Oh c'mon, just tell me what is it about!" Alexander pestered her to speak but she closed her lips tight.

"Never." Erina slammed her pen on the table making Alexander chuckle at her reaction "You will be informed about the test the same time everyone will...Tonight" She added. "Now, if you excuse me. I have a meeting to attend." Erina stood up and walked away from the office.

"Ha-ha! How cute!" Alexander couldn't help but mumble, the way Erina tries to carry herself around him when she is working makes Alexander feel like he is having a relationship with his boss at work who tries to act professionally around him...WAIT! now that he thinks about it, it is a real situation now! He is a student and Erina is the headmaster. Then an idea came down on him 'Is she trying to memic one of those mangas she reads...?' Alexander started laughing hysterically alone in the office.

"Alright...ahaha! let us get out of here, I need to go to work." He said as he left the office.

---------------------------------

Night Time - Polar Star Dorm

---------------------------------

Soma and Megumi have brought Suzuki-sensei and the now renowned Noir Chef Saiba to the dorm. After they have revealed Asahi's identity and what happened to him with Alexander and Erina, they were surprised.

"Doesn't he know that Erina-chi and your brother are engaged now?" Yuki asked. Her question made a lot of sense, normally when someone knows that the person he fancies is engaged or in a relationship with another, the best course of action is to save yourself the embarrassment and back off.

"Who knows?" Soma shrugged his shoulders and leaned on the wall "All we talked about is about a Shokugeki between us and then Alexander and Nakiri burst in."

Isshiki came closer to Asahi and examined his face in detail" Hmmm..." He looked under his eyebrows and noticed three small black moles in a straight line there "Yup! he is the guy." he said.

"Duh!" Yuki said " Alexander himself said so, what? do you think that he wouldn't recognize his own brother?"

"Ahaha!! so harsh." Isshiki responded, "But I was just making sure myself, I have seen him once in one of the Blue Knives tournament and noticed his black moles that times, so I was just confirming my suspicions." He said with a smile.

And at that moment "STOP IT, DON'T KILL MY FROGS!!!" Asahi suddenly woke up sharply from a dream he was having and scared everyone around him. Yuki being the fastest to react slapped Asahi on his neck "Don't shout!!" she shouted.

As for Tadokoro, she lost her colors and was quivering in her place like a sad ghost.

"That scared me!" Ryoko said as she exhaled and inhaled calmly. Marui was already unconscious. Soma was unfazed by such thing as he was far back in the room.

"Oh! where am I?" Asahi rubbed his eyes to see clearly and wiped some droll off his face. He took a clear look around him and found himself surrounded, he looked blankly at them and spoke "Who the hell are you guys?" he asked.

"Who the hell is you?!!" Yuki pointed at him "Are you Saiba Asahi or Minamoto Suzuki?"

Asahi having remembered that his cover was already blown up, he laughed it off "Well, legally, I am Minamoto Suzuki anyway." he said.

"Legally...?" Isshiki who was the nearest to him smiled "Anyway, do you realize that you have caused us plenty of troubles Mr. Legally Minamoto Suzuki?" he said.

"That was the plan." Asahi sat properly on the couch and said without even trying to deny anything with enthusiasm.

"Don't get coky, Mr. fake teacher. We have already caught your little chihuahuas." Yuki added "This is Totsuki's elite 10 you're messing with." she said with pride...As if she is somehow related to any of this....Maybe because Soma and Isshiki are in the elite 10?

Asahi scratched the back of his head and laughed "They don't answer to me." he said making everyone confused "I only showed them a road and they decided to walk down it. I do have my own separate agenda in Japan."

"And that Agenda is...?" Soma stepped forward and asked uncharacteristically.

"..." Asahi took another long look at his half brother and smiled "I told you once before...I will make Nakiri Erina my bride, didn't I?"

"You can't do that," Soma countered.

"Why not?" Asahi shrugged his shoulders "Ah! is it maybe you have feelings for her? you sneaky runt! hahaha!"

Isshiki sighed at this and raised his hand at Soma to silence him as he will do the honor of informing him "...She is engaged." Isshiki spoke.

Asahi who was all smiles froze in his place and his face twisted for a mere millisecond and unleashed an overwhelming aura that made the polar star people feel like they are drowning, the only person who was not affected by this is Isshiki. "What do you mean?" Asahi asked.

"It means that someone else, other than you will make her his bride," Isshiki said carelessly with a smile like that of a rainbow.

"Who is he?" Asahi asked, his gaze never left Isshiiki as it continued to harden with each second revealing a bit of Asahi's anger.

"To your brother," Isshiki said. Aashi shifted his gaze at Soma who was smirking at him "Not me." Soma added. Asahi thought for a moment and remembered Erina coming in with Alexander at that time, he remembers now seeing them holding hands and Erina stopping Alexander to speak for herself.

"Tch!!" Asahi clicked his tongue loudly for everyone to hear 'This is difficult...very...difficult...Then plan B it is.' he thought with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

At that moment, three guys came in from outside, Shōji Satō, Shun Ibusaki, and Daigo Aoki.

"Hey, guys! we got a mail from the administration." Daigo said while showing the letter in his hand. everyone looked at him when they heard about the letter.

"What in it?" Asked Ryoko.

Before any one of the three guys can reply, Asahi stood up and cracked his neck and spoke: "It is about the Mid-term exam..." He said making everyone go into shock "It's in two days..." he added making them tremble "...And it is on the beach..." he added again. Yuki and Ryoko's faces lit up a little "In Italy..." Asahi added again.

"Mamma Mia!!!!" They shouted.
