Food Wars: The Golden Hands

Inside Hall F...

The guests were following their noses to their favorited dish. Some students have a line in front of them which made them happy and feel like they're on cloud nine. While some aren't doing as good but they can be happy as they are progressing steadily.

But the worst is the students who have no one and all of their dishes still full and not eaten. One girl is crying as she saw guests walk by her but doesn't spare her meals any second look.

Shinomiya is touring around the hall with Mizuhara as he oversees the progress of the assignment.

'Many students will fail this assignment, if they can't overcome this challenge then their dream of being on top is just a big joke." He looked at the girl who is crying 'And crying won't help either, the reason people walk away from her is because of her expression. Her expression gives the feeling that her meal is not good. If you're not confident about your food then the guest won't be too.'

As Mizuhara and Shinomiya were patroling they suddenly felt a strong and a very desirable smell. They followed their noses and found themselves in front of Alexander's kitchen.

"Oi boy, hurry up, this old man can't stay here forever!!" One old man and one of the VIP guests on this assignment is standing at the front of a large crowd who were looking at Alexander with hungry eyes.

"What is going on here?" Mizuhara whispered in disbelieve, the last time she checked on Alexander his kitchen was empty and he didn't even start cooking.

"Just wait, old geezer." Alexander finished his preparations as he finished his first spicy devil egg dish.

The dish in itself is an omelet but the Egg Yolk is surrounding the white of the egg in a perfect circle. He throws hot spices on the nearly finished egg, he put on the plate that has a nicely cooked bacon meat that he has a full bowl of, he prepared them in advance as he knows that just one hand won't be enough to do all that stuff at once.

He took a bottle of sweet sauce and poured just a little bit on top of the plate for the bacon.

"Here you go old man," Alexander prepared another egg and gave the plate to the noisy old man. The old man took a bite with his fork and he felt Nirvana inside his mouth.

He let out a pleased sound as he saw his younger self in front of him smiling at him as he tells him to eat more. "Delicious!! This is so delicious!!" shouted the old man, his words alone made the crowd behind him feel like dying from waiting.

"Alright old man, you took your turn, its mine now." One man behind the old man said as he advanced to the front. "Give me the same at him!" He ordered.

"Right away." Alexander this time didn't take a lot of time to cook the meal as he had put every ingredient in a place he could reach with one hand and remember their location. He could now take anything he wants without even looking at it.

His single had is moving swiftly, his body remembers how to do things even with just one hand.

If things were in slow motion, then you will see Alexander's hand take one egg and crack it with the pan in front of him and swiftly opens it and pours the white of the egg and leaves the Yolk later to surround the white with it. The spices that he throws create an image like that of dust and the sizzling bacon makes sounds like heavy rain.

Kids are watching the one-armed chef as he cooks their meals in a speed unimaginable with just one hand.

Shinomiya smiled swiftly before he left the crowd.

"Aren't you going to wait and get a taste?" Mizuhara called for him.

"Nah, I am not a guest," he said before passing by Ryo who table isn't losing to Alexander's as he makes his dish of egg with tuna. But unlike Alexander, it lacks the strong Aroma to attract the far away guests. Also...He curses a lot.

Minutes passed by as the students as students went crazy with the small amount of food they served.

After an hour, Shinomiya announced [Kurokiba Ryo has finished serving 200 meals].

Ryo took off his bandana with anger "F.u.c.k Yeah!!" as soon as the bandana was off, the fire in his head died down and calmed down. His customers from earlier looked at him with shock.

"Whoa!! it's like he is a diffrent person!!"

"Isn't it, is that bandana magical or what?!"

Ryo looked at Alexander who was serving his customers with passion and a sweaty forehead. He took a towel and wiped the sweat away.

"Oh! thank a lot man! I needed that!" said Alexander with a big smile. Even Alexander's guests praised Ryo.

"Hurry up boy, I'm still hungry." The old geezer from before came again and ordered food again.

"Isn't this your 4th meal?" Asked Alexander.

"None of your business, I just want to see my young self again." Said the old ma, with each meal he takes from Alexander he remembers a happy and an exciting scene from his past. It's a joy for him to remember things that he would occasionally forget.

The thing that is working for Alexander is that his guests don't leave, they just go back to the end of the line. Like that he was able to serve 140 meals without spending too much time on promoting his dish. And his guests even call others to take a taste.

With just one hand Alexander was able to serve 200 meals to more 150 people in the span of one hour and 20 minutes.

[Saiba Alexander finished 200 meals!] Announced Mizuhara.

Alexander wanted to continue but with just one hand and his ingrediants being low, he just sat down trying to catch his breath after that long heavy work.

"Food Is Served." Alexander let a deep breath.

"What is served you brat, stand up and serve me another meal!!" The old geezer came back as he shouted at Alexander.

"Shudup Old man, don't you see my arm, it's broken, be compassionate will ya!!" Shouted Alexander at the old man.

"Who cares!!" The old man retorted "I was just about to remember meeting my wife. Cook me another meal, now!"

The old man and Alexander started fighting in a comical way that everyone around them was finding them ridiculous with their loud voices.

'They are matching in their behaviors' they thought.

And with that, Alexander and Ryo were the first ones to finish their assignment. And with them leaving the hall...Of course, after Alexander was forced to cook another last meal for the old geezer.

The other students finally got a chance as more customers went to their kitchens giving the opportunity to many students to pass.
