Food Wars: The Golden Hands

As someone informed me with the mistake of the polar star and the north star being the same, I had to bullshit myself trough. And somehow I liked how it turned out.

This chapter is unedited, if there is any confusion please tell me.

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

At the entrance of his new dormitory, Alexsander is standing in front of an old woman with butler clothes, her old age is clear with her white hair and pale blue eyes. She neared him and said with clear emotions "Welcome to the North Star Dormitory. I am this place's Mother, Call me Madam Natasha" She gave Alexander a sweet and old heartwarming smile

"Thank you for having me. I am Saiba Alexander, a new first year in here." He bowed to her. It is always the old people that get to him. Alexander never liked bowing but he unconsciously would do for the elderly.

"Fufufu~ Alexander-kun is such a polite boy, come let us get inside, I want to show you your new home" The old Natasha pulled Alex and opened the door of the 3 story mansion revealing a complete opposite of what is shown from the outside. The mansion is a medieval-themed Mansion. It furniture resembles things from medieval Europe. Everything, from the carpets to the chandelier in the roof making Alexander gaze at it with satisfaction. From outside the house looks like it was built with bricks, but inside, it looks like wood.

Natasha who was watching Alexander's reaction smiled proudly at her home being appreciated, she was glad that he liked it.

"Come let's go, I still need to show you your room, the kitchen, bathrooms, storage room, the gardens in the back, the Balcony in the front and the main dining hall, Also, the living room." Natasha was excited to show Alexander everything. He followed her as she showed him and explained a few things that she thought he may not understand. Alex focused on observing, he noticed that this dorm it heavily themed about the medieval but there are things that are from the modern days' society, Like the kitchen, toilets, and bathrooms. Of course, you can't have an old kitchen in a school for chefs.

(Go to my Pat-ron and I will post pictures to get you closer to what I am describing. It would be for free, no need for donating."

And finally, Natasha guided Alexander to his room, It was room 111. She opened the door for him and let him see it for himself. A single bed with a chandelier that looks like it was made from deers horns, brown curtains...But. the most notable thing is that there is a small kitchen in here with everything that was necessary.

"This place is...beautiful!" Alexander couldn't help but praise this place, he saw many luxurious houses with different styles and themes but they never gave the feeling of calmness that this place gives.

"I appreciate your words. It took me 15 years to make this place as it is now. It means a lot to me" Natasha took a napkin and wiped her tears. She was happy that someone praised her home, the last time someone stepped inside this place was 3 years ago.

"Well then, since you've seen everything. Do you care for a cup of tea?" Natasha pointed to the small kitchen in front of Alex.

"For sure. I will make it." Alex took off his suit. He wanted to make a tea that kind of resembles and match how this house looks like. And one thing came to his mind, Maghrebi mint tea! with its adornment teapot and cup glasses, it fits perfectly.

"Natasha-san, do you have the Moroccan tea equipment, like the Green Gunpowder Tea and Mint and such?" Alexander asked her after he tried looking for it but didn't find it.

"It's in the big kitchen on the 1st floor. they're stored in the upper cabinet shelves."Natasha sat on the low wooden table waiting for Alex to go bring the equipment and return.

Alex hurried to the 1st floor, he searched for the equipment, gathered them in a box and ran upstairs to his room. Immediately he started preparing the tea.

He put the water to boil while he Rinses out his teapot with a little of the water. After adding the Green Gunpowder Tea and pouring a little of boiling water, he waited for the water to be absorbed. Then comes Wash the Tea Leaves. later he added the Sheba, a very famous herb for the Morrocan tea and proceeded to steep the tea.

And then, he added the white milky sugar and mint before leaving it to boil. After the tea was done boiling, Alexander put the adornment glass cups on the tray with the teapot in front of Natasha who smelled the aroma of the mint making her take a deep breath of it.

"mmmm! such a nice and sweet aroma! I can't wait to taste your tea!" Natasha had a very pleasing face as she smiled " Hurry Alexander-kun, these old bones can't wait forever!!"

Alexander smiled as he mixed the tea for a final time before pouring a cup of tea for Natasha " Here you go." He presented her with a cup, she reached for it and took a small sip before she was assaulted with the sweet and heavy taste of both the mint, Sheba, and sugar at the same time making her leak a very pleased sound. She took another sip and the same thing happened. " Such strong taste!! Normally heavy tastes may ruin dishes but this is very different. This an attack on my tongue!!" Natasha praised the tea and Alexander at the same time.

"Food Was Served!" Alex supported his chin on the table with his arm as he watched Natasha drink his tea with a smile on his face, nothing better than watching people enjoying your work.

While both of them are drinking the tea, Natasha and Alexander engaged in long conversations as they shared some of their past experiences, Alex shared some of the weird dishes he saw his father make in the past when he visited him while Natasha shared some of her old memories of this school.

And at that time, Alex remembered something and couldn't help but ask " Natasha-san, I am very curious about something, can I ask you about it?"

"No problem, I have no secrets to keep." Natasha already took a liking to Alexander and she would be happy to answer his questions.

"Thank you. It seems there is another Dormitory in this school that goes by the name The Polar Star Dormitory, Right?"

Natasha immediately realized what Alex is going to ask about, its a question that she got a lot. "Yes, there is."

"This dormitory is called the North Star while the other is called the Polar Star...Isn't the north and polar the same thing. they both refer to the brightest star. why both dorms named after the same thing??"

Natasha sighed a little, she stood up and opened the curtains, it was already sunset time. The red sun is shining on Alexander's room making the woods inside gives a deep red glow adding more charm to the room.

"Its a long story from more than 20 years ago," Natasha said as she looked at one big mansion that can be seen behind the forest.

"I Have the whole night," said Alex, from Natasha's reaction Alex can sense that there is history between these two.

" Very well. Then listen carefully. The mother of The Polar Star dorm is my sister Fumio Daimidō, we both are graduates of totsuki. At that time Totsuki needed to add dormitory as many new students came from abroad. Senzaemon-dono tasked us with building 2 dorm with the budget he gave us. In a span of 2 years, everything was going well, I and my sister were happy that we can stay at Totsuki and observe new talents shine in here as they go out to make a name for themselves.." Natasha had a smile on her face, she remembers the good old day with joy.

"But...when it came down to naming our dorms, we both wanted the name to have a meaning. For me, North Star was the most appropriate, I wanted the people of this dorm to shine bright and stand out as that star that shines brightly more than any star around it. As for Fumio, she chose The Polar Star as a name. She had the same intentions as mine for her dorm. None of us liked that idea, so we took it out by the old school tears. We did a Shokugeki." Natasha's eye lighted with fire as she remembered that fight, she will never forget it. Her tone and expression made Alex want to hear more.

"The end of that fight was concluded as a draw. we did many rematches but it always came out as a draw. So we had no choice but to stop. At that time, we had two choices, either both of us change the name or both of us drop the name." Natasha came back to the table and sat in front of Alexander." So, we both kept the name. Even then, we were still bitter about it. The names were registered so we couldn't do anything about. so we took the fight to another ground. We decided that the one who is worthy of that name is the one with the most members of his dorm in the elite 10."

"The elite 10?!!" Alexander becomes more interested now as the fight between the two sisters included the elite 10 now.

"Yes. Every generation, the first seat of the elite 10 belonged to my dorm's students while Fumio's students lasted in the other seats, so, until some time, I was always the winner. The last holder of the first seat was...Alexandra Helmet."

"Mother!!" Alexander shouted out loud, his mother never mentioned anything about her being the first seat, it took him off guard that his mother was the top of her generation but again, it wasn't that surprising as he saw first hand what is she capable of.

Natasha laughed at that, but her laugh faded slowly and was replaced with a sad expression " Yes, your mother was the last first seat of the elite 10. Also, the last member of the North Star Dormitory." Natasha started crying and wiping her tears with her napkin again " After her. The Polar Star started rising up with those unpleasing boys. If they were in Alexandra's 67th generation they would've been crushed mercilessly!" Natasha's sad face turned to an enraged beast expression. but again turned sad " For 20 years, no student applied here, All I could do is watch as Fumio and her student take the top. Thankfully this year, you applied with a few other students or the school would've forced me to shut down the dormitory since it takes a lot of space that Totsuki will need in the future."

Alexander saw that this old lady loves this place, she calls this place her home and so did his mother. Alexander smirked widely as he said with an arrogant face " Don't worry about it. Since I am here, then the first seat is mine. I will revive this dorm, The North Star will rise again." Alex promised Natasha to he will bring her home to the top, Unknown to him, Natasha saw his Alexandra in him which made her feel happy.

"I am sure you would, But for now let's go downstairs, The other students must be on their way here, the sun is going down so classes are over." Natasha went downstairs with Alexander, they both stood in front of the door. Natasha was standing in the same way when she met Alexander, while Alex is sitting on the doorsteps watching as the sun is going down.

On the road in front of them, Natasha and Alexander can see 5 people coming down as they're walking with each other. They seem like they met on the way here.

As the students entered through the iron gate and came near the Mansion, Alex's eyes widened when he was able to recognize two of them.

As Alex recognized them, The two people did too as one of them waved and shouted at him with a cheerful and silly tone " Alex-chan~"
