In the campsite where The Helmet family was resting, the elite 10 collapsed to the ground.

"Finally!!" Soma shouted as Erina announced their training schedule.

"Don't celebrate yet, you still have a lot to do this year," Erina spoke with a firm expression.

"Aah man!" Hayama shook his head.

Beside Erina, Mana and Alexandra stood and looked at the group of juniors in front of them "Don't be discouraged, you have learned a lot. This experience will make everything else seem so easy." Alexandra nodded.

Mana sighed "Well, Limited space, limited time, limited resources, and tough judges, you managed to pull through all of this, so don't let it go to waste. It will all come in handy one day."

On the other side, leaning on a tree with his back, Takumi frowned "When the hell will me running from a bear will come handy..." He thought. His eyes shifted throughout the camp "Where the hell is Alexander anyways?" He mumbled in low voice, when he was coming back from taking a shower he saw him going with his servant with a demon-like expression on his face.

"The final Red tournament is at the end of the year, the 3-men team is still not decided yet, any of you can be in the team, do your best and you may get a spot to be mentioned in Totsuki's history for as long as it stands!" Erina gave a small speech to encourage the elite 10 to make them bring the best out of their selves.

While Erina is giving her speech, Alexander's car took off, leaving the camp.

Alexandra grows worried about her son, but since Keanu, Neo, Vlad, and Alfie with him, she didn't worry too much. But it seems that whatever is happening now, they want to keep it secret. 'If it was something related to us, they would've told us, it is not my business for the time being...' Alexandra thought as she shifted her gaze to Erina.

"Erina..." She called.

"Yes?" Erina looked back at her as her eyes briefly landed on her mother.

"I need to speak to you, the other schools have contacted us regarding a plan they want to execute before the Final Red," Alexandra spoke.

"What plan?" Erina tilted her head, she was not aware of anything.

Meanwhile, in China. At the Head Master office, Komatsu, the 1st seat of the elite 10 in Gloutney Gourmet Academy was looking at a paper handed yo him by the old director.

"An exchange student program...?" Komatsu said with confusion, looking at the old bald man in front of him smoking.

"In preparation for The Final Red, I and the bastard of Germa academy decided to send our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seats to each of the three schools in order yo understand each academy's philosophy and how they work and possibly get a few secrets out in order to improve our students winning chances in the Final Red." The old put down his cigarette "We just need Totsuki's to agree to the plan and they will, after all, they won't miss a chance at poking a few secrets out too. Hihihi!" The old man laughed in a disgusting way. Which Komatsu wasn't afraid to admit to.

"Old man, that was disgusting." He said with a blunt expression.

"Ah! Brat!!" The old man choked on his breath "*Cough* hahaha!! Brat, all rich old man are disgusting." he said, "but anyways, get ready, you will be sent to Totsuki, your mission is to show them what our best chef can do, bring their pride down and also try to get as much information about the school as possible."

Komatsu sighed "Totsuki, huh? Erina will he there...My half-sister." Komatsu look at his paper and felt a little awkward, his father(Azami) told him the truth, he knows he was an illegitimate child...A Bastard. He has always been looking for the family love, the feeling he has been missing all along.

But...he also knows, that he wouldn't get it from there, even his father doesn't give him that much care or love.

Azami didn't hide the truth from Komatsu, he knows that Mana Loathes him and will try to kill him if she could, she sees him as a stain for her honor and the result for her broken relationship.

As for Erina...she doesn't even know he exists, she has no idea that the family she is hoping to reunite with one day is already broken.

"What will happen when we meet, I wonder? Is she cold as they say? or is it just rumors..." Komatsu mumbled as he left the office.

In another location, Germany. The Germa Academy.

At the head office, the director gathered his best 3 chefs, and one of them is Sanji Vinsmoke.

"And as such, you three will be an exchange students for about a month or so..." The director said as he handed them the papers.

"Sanji, you will go to Japan, Roman, you will stay here and monitor the other exchange students from China and Japan. Veronica, you will go to China."

Sanji looked with bored eyes at the paper and read it carefully "The one who will be my mentor in Japan will probably not be Alexander...how disappointing..." He thought.

"Alright, I will go now." Sanji crushed the paper and left the office.

The director wasn't pleased but he also wanted Sanji out of this, "Alright you two, I need you to be aware, in the other schools, Veronica, you will meet the other two who will be likely in the Final Red, Plus a whole school who consider you an enemy, be careful, they will try to break you." The director spoke with a low voice.

Veronica, a blue-haired girl with lavender eyes frowned "What?" She asked.

"In short, we will be bullied and get picked on for the next month in order to break us down." Roman shook his head.

"Why? There is no need for that..." Veronica spoke.

"Hmm...You don't seem to realize, the winner of the next Red will be declared as the best Academy, Number 1 in the whole world, after that, our places will be set on stone, 2nd will stay second, 3rd will stay 3rd. The winner will have every business and flourishing opportunity presented to them first, this is the last Red of survival... Don't get broken out there...and we will make sure we break the Two who will come here." The director stood up and walked to his window wall and looked outside through the glass wall.

"Germa will stay at the top...No matter what the cost maybe..." He spoke with cold eyes.

....

Meanwhile, away from the schemes being prepared in the Gourmet World. Alexander returned to his Golden Tower. He has ordered to close the tower for today and evacuate immediately.

He went to the top, at his office, and closed the door after him. Accompanying him was Keanu, Neo, Vlad, and Alfie, Alongside Koujiro's kitchen team and two guys who were kneeling in the middle of the office.

Alexander was setting in his chair with a dark look, he looked at the two men on the floor, his eyes glowing with a dangerous red light.

"You..."He spoke, sending shivers down the two men's spines "...Had one job."

"Boss, please Li--" One man tried to speak but he got kicked in the face by Alfie.

"Only speak when you are allowed to." He said as he looked at the two men.

Alexander raised his hand to stop Alfie "Look at these 3..." He pointed at Koujiro's team, who had worried expressions.

"They are very worried right now for their president who may be dead by now, a dead man who I told you to keep an eye on, and in the case of when something happens, contact me...Yet, I get contacted by the people who kidnapped him, then I get contacted by these 3...Yet...I never got a call from you two? I wonder why?" Alexander stood up and walked behind the two and put his hands on their shoulders.

"Now... I allow you one good excuse before I murder you two..." Alexander tightened his hands on their shoulder and smiled "Chose your lie carefully..." He spoke as he moved his hands to grab their heads.

"B-Boss, We were guardi--" before they can finish, Alexander mushed their heads to the ground hard enough to crack their skulls. Blood came out from under their faces, their bodies didn't move.

Alexander stood up "Take their bodies out and bury them in Russia. Look through the cameras one more time and try to get any clue on who those guys are." When Alexander went through the footage of the Cameras, he saw his guards fooling around thinking everything was okay. He also noticed that these people had someone hack the Cameras so they can cut the recording whenever they were in an open spot and then return it to record once again to not alarm the camera security, letting them think it is just a technical issue.

Keanu snapped his fingers and two men came in and dragged the bodies out, Koujiro's team was scared at the scene in front of them, Keanu also gestured for them to leave and relax a bit.

"We already got a team on that yesterday, sir." Vlad stepped forward and present Alexander with an image of a hand.

"What is this?" Alexander asked.

"I had a team look though the cameras, one person in the crowd kept moving and repeating the same gesture with his hand second before the cameras cut off...and as you can see, on his hand..."

"A white Tiger Tattoo..." Keanu continued as he walked towards Alexander "From China's ruling Gang, the White Tiger...the man behind this gang is called Tai Lung."

Alfie punched his palm "Alright damn it!! We got a lead then, we should go to China and kill our way through and get that old man to speak!!"

"A bad idea." Neo, Keanu's brother spoke "We have no bases there, after our full retreat from the underworld 3 years ago, the white tigers took over.

Alexander kept looking a the picture as he sat down on his chair "China, huh?" He mumbled "if the white tigers indeed related to this, we don't want to attack them head-on, we may endanger Koujiro and Father...Keanu, you go China and he as stealthy as possible, find out where this guy Tai Lung is and where does he go, I will try to stall for more time here."

"Consider it done," Keanu said before leaving.

"Vlad, get our men ready, arm them and move them to China in secret, take the darkness of the night as your cover, we probably still have our underground base near the coast of china." Hide them there and wait for Keanu.

"Roger that." Vlad nodded and left.

"Neo, you return to my family, inform Kaido and Shanks. You must absolutely and never ever leave my son and Rindo's side for even a second. Take turns with Shanks. Tell Kaido to protect Grandfather and Mother. Also get in contact with your father, John. And tell him to return and protect my mother and the other girls in school."

Alfie looked at Alexander and asked, "And what about me?"

Alexander smiled"You will stay with me, I will try to get a good excuse to go to China.".
