Food Wars: The Golden Hands

This chapter is actually my favorite one, only because of one paragraph that just popped in my mind while i was writing and without any thought, i started typing what was on my mind and voila!!

guess which paragraph it is?

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

After they got kicked out from the class, Veronica and Alexander stood in the hall for a long time before realizing that the teacher won't be letting them back inside anytime soon.

"Well..." Veronica smiled in annoyance "You think we should knock and see if he still remember us?" She said.

Alexander looked at the ceiling and frowned "I am not a 5 years old kid to be punished like this, i am out." He said, walking away.

"To where?" Veronica asked, walking behind him.

"To do some sightseeing." He responded.

"Wait for me then!" Veronica followed Alexander "So, we are now partners, right?"

"Yes, no need to confirm."

"Since we are partners, of course, it is prohibited to play tricks on each other," Veronica said seriously.

Alexander looked at her for a moment "I don't get the whole situation here, what are you afraid of so much?"

"You don't know?!" Veronica was surprised at Alexander "Haven't your school warned you?"

"Of what?" Alexander questioned.

"There is a hidden agenda here, they will try to do something to us, our head director said to be careful, he even suspects that they may try to harm us physically."

Alexander thought about it for a moment 'So that is why they put that little clown show earlier, to intimidate us...But to go physical on us, now that is new...'

"That is why i said we should partner up." Veronica shook her head "Just make sure you don't stand alone in this school, always stay in an open area." Veronica spoke.

"Hey, you two!!" Alexander and Veronica heard someone calling behind them, for a moment they thought it was the teacher came looking for them." But it was just a male student.

" You talking to us?" Veronica asked.

"Who else but you two." The boy walked to them while adjusting his glasses. "I am Xi Zhao, Gloutney's elite 10's 3rd seat holder, nice to meet you." He was a clean shaved head shining under the sun, dark night eyes, his outfit was a mix between his school uniform and a monk's uniform.

"To what do we have the honor for the 3rd seat of this Academy to cone and look for us?" Alexander chuckled as he couldn't help it seeing the boy trying to be a monk but failing, but he had to admit, the uniform was dope.

"Humph, you think we will let you run around our Academy without supervision? Come to the library after the classes are over, from now on, you do as i say. Humph!" Xi turned to leave with clear frustration.

"He hates us..." Alexander said, amused.

"Clearly..." Veronica confirmed "Anyways, i will go to the dormitory, i wanna take a bath, i just arrived and I don't want to keep walking around this Academy. See ya in the library." Veronica waved her hand at Alexander as she left.

Alexander shrugged and continued to walk thinking about what he needs to do regarding his father and Koujiro's situation; without realizing, Alexander found himself at the entrance of another section of the academy, a long path of stairs leading up to a mountain.

"I walked too far," Alexander said before turning around, just bump into someone. "Hm?" Alexander looked up to see a big bald shining head man in front of him.

"Are you blind, Foreign Trash?!" The man spoke. Alexander focused his eyes because of the glow in the man's head and he noticed the man is wearing the students' uniform, just like the 3rd seat from earlier, it was mixed with monk clothes.

"Yu Yan asked you a question!!" Two other guys walked from behind the now named Yu Yan.

"Ah, well, I was thinking about stuff," Alexander said as he took a step back.

Yu Yan smiled "So..." He walked and put his hand on Alexander's shoulder "You are not blind?"

"Huh?" Alexander was confused, what is going on? he thought.

"Listen here Foreigner, Maybe you don't know the rules, This guy here is an elite 10, you should kneel down and ask for forgiveness." One of Yu Yan's followers spoke with a disgusted expression.

"Hurry up and kneel, you idiot!" The other shouted.

Yu Yan smiled "Sorry Junior, these are the rules, I will let this go if you apologized, if not, don't blame for being ruthless." He spoke with such a gentle tone and kind expression that makes people ignore his words.

"Aaaah~..." Alexander laughed as he remembered what his uncle once told him "My uncle once told me a nickname he loves calling this country..." He said.

Yu Yan raised an eyebrow "Hoo, You are quite the stubborn guy, you don't know what is good for you do you?"

Alexander smiled "You know what that nickname is?" he said.

"Whatever that nickname maybe, if you don't do what I suggested, that word will be your last." Yu Yan said.

"This guy is digging his own grave!!" The followers spoke.

"Ah yes, he called it..." Alexander smiled and spoke "The land of DeathSeekers!"

"Tsk, you trash!!" two guys walked to Alexander and one of them raised his hand and tried to slap Alexander while the other raised his leg for a face kick.

Alexander blocked the slap and steeled his legs, and with a nimble move, he quickly twisted the hand of the guy who tried to slap him "GAH!!" he shouted in pain, and then kicked the other in his balls "MAMAAAA!!!" he screamed, making all men in 500 meters distance cringe in pain, including Alexander and Yu Yan.

Yu Yan looked at his two fallen boys and then at Alexander "You did not have to be this ruthless, Junior."

"I sure did." Alexander responded, "Are you next?"

Yu Yan dropped his clothes to reveal his iron body, filled with scares and wounds "These wounds are proof of my years of childhood spent in learning the art of fighting!" He said.

"...Ok," Alexander said.

Yu Yan took a stance "HAH!!" He shouted, for a moment, the air around him vibrated. Alexander noticed that and put up his guard 'This guy...' Alexander was focused to not give this guy any chance on him.

"Don't blame me for this!!" Yu Yan shouted as he shot toward Alexander with a punch filled with all his strength.

Alexander crossed his arms to test this guys' power, he steeled himself and waited for the impact...but that never happened. Because now, between him and Yu Yan stands another guy.

"What are you doing, Yu Yan?" A boy spoke with his palm grabbing Yu Yan's fist, protecting Alexander "Our Martial Arts aren't to be used on students." This guy was the same person Alexander and Veronica met earlier; Xi Zhao.

"Brother Zhao?!" Yu Yan got frightened and backed off "Forgive me for this!" He knelt down and apologized "It is was my mistake."

Alexander saw this and was surprised 'They weren't lying, it seems it is a rule to kneel and apologize...' he thought. Not that he will ever do it.

"Walk off then." Xi Zhao ordered with a cold expression while adjusting his glasses and the sun making his head glow.

"Yes, immediately!!" Yu Yan stood up and left.

"You forgot your friends!!" Alexander shouted reminding the leaving Yu Yan, as he pointed at the two fallen guys.

Yu Yan looked at Alexander, wanting to murder him as he sweated down "No need." But Xi Zhao protested "They lost a fight, let them deal with the consequences. Leave." Yu Yan didn't waste the chance and ran away.

"You seem strong, ey?" Alexander chuckled and spoke to Xi Zhao who took off his glasses and cleaned them. "I noticed that you guys can do some ancient Chines Martial Arts, is that correct?" He asked.

Xi Zhao continued to clean his glasses with care and focus "When I said leave..." He then spoke and put his glasses up "...You also were included in that. I will meet you in the library after the classes are over."

Alexander looked at Xi Zhao who was leaving and smiled "How boring..." He said. But Xi Zhao didn't give him and time.

Alexander looked down at the two guys, the guy who got kicked in the balls was groaning in pain "Don't worry man, they now plant balls for men, although they are donated ones." Alexander spoke, but then he realized something "wait a minute, since they are donated...Isn't that like a minor case of NTR?" Alexander was mind blown "You balls are not your balls at that moment, so basically...DISGUSTING!!!" Alexander shouted his thoughts before leaving.

He had nothing to do now, Alexander decided to go and take a look at his dormitory, it wasn't as big or nice as his North Star Dormitory, but it will do, and it seems he is the only one using it now, which was very handy.

Sun started going down and Alexander left his dorm, it was time for the classes to be over, and since he was free until he got in contact with the other side or he figures a way out to move without getting noticed.

On his way to the library, Alexander met a beautiful pink-haired girl with blue eyes "Hello!" She greeted him.

"Yes, hello!" He responded before passing by her, though he found her voice familiar.

"Hey, wait up partner, Let's go together!" The girl tapped on his shoulder making Alexander halt in his steps and look back.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked.

"Eh?! It is me, Veronica, don't you remember me?" The pink-haired girl asked.

"Wait! but Veronica had Blue hair and Lavender eyes? you...you, look so different." Alexander grabbed her face and pulled it.

"IT is just makeup, i like to change my style daily," Veronica said.

"No, this is far more than just style, you look like a different person completely." Alexander was amazed at her.

"Yeah, i have this talent in makeup, I used to do some cosplays in the past for anime, I could make myself look like any character, here look." She pulled out her phone and showed Alexander he work with pride. "Aren't I amazing?!" She asked with a smile on her face.

Alexander kept on looking through her pictures with a smile on his face, an idea started forming through his mind, he then looked at Veronica and grabbed her hands together "Veronica..." He called.

Veronica was surprised at him and tried to back off a little "W-what?" she asked with her face red, as Alexander was too close.

"Wanna come to my room?"

"...HAH?!"
