Food Wars: The Golden Hands

The first day of school in Totsuki is officially over. Those who have club activities are allowed in to meet and stay in school after it's closed. And for those who aren't part of anything needs to leave the school ground and go to their staying place.

The teachers also are no exception. Only they still need to do some paperwork after the classes, In Totsuki there are already those who are on the verge of being expelled and a meeting between teacher is needed to decide if they should wait for further improvement or they're just hopeless, being Totsuki's teacher gives you.

Inside the teacher's room, all Totsuki's teachers are gathering around one big round table.

"Then, these 2 should be expelled, their behavior is lazy and uncaring, no passion for cooking and no desire for improvement. And what is even more irritating is their first grade in the class is an E." One teacher with black hair is standing as he is deciding 2 students' future in Totsuki " I see no value in leaving them wasting our resources."

All the teacher agreed with an understanding node. There is no place in Totsuki for such students.

"That is all, ladies gentlemen. You're dismissed." The man gave the signal as the other teachers stood up and left.

Among those teachers is the Chinese cuisine teacher from Alexander's first class. He was still wearing his traditional Chinese clothes, unlike all the teachers. He made his way to one teacher who is walking in front of him.

"Mr.Michael..." he called. The blond man in front of him stopped to turn and see his old friend calling for him. He is still wearing his silly smile as always.

"Signore Lee. It is a pleasure to meet you after such a long time." The two friends hugged each other in a brotherly hug. This was the norm for them after all those years they spent with each other in this school.

"It is my friend, how is your class going?" Asked teacher Lee making Michael sigh deeply.

"Those two idiots who just got expelled are from my class. Absolutely no passion!!" Michael expressed his anger clearly for those two. " And what about you, old Lee?"

"Hahaha!! Good, no one is expelled yet, but there may be in the future if they kept on being like this. They need to evolve. Ah! this reminds me of something..." Teacher Lee brought out a small paper from his sleeves and gave it to Michael "...Can you translate for me what is written on this? I think it's Italian!" This was Alexander's Fortune cookie's ambition paper that Teacher Lee told them to write on.

" Hm? [La torre d'oro], This means The Golden Tower or The Tower Of Gold, both are correct." He gave the piece of paper back to Teacher Lee " What is that for?" he asked

"Who knows? " Teacher Lee shrugged his shoulders as he resumed walking "Maybe I will find out in time. This year's first year are special" he added while chuckling making his friend confused at what is funny?

Back at the North Star Dormitory. Alex had met with unexpected friends and his new Dormmates.

In the Living Room, All the new members of the North Star Dorm are gathering out of a request from Natasha.

"Since I took all of you in a tour around the dorm, it's time for you guys to get to know each other. You'll be living with each other for the next 3 years...Unless you got expelled" Said Natasha with a happy tone, the last part was said in a whisper but it still was heard by them " Then let us start by Alexander-kun." Natasha pointed at Alexander who stood and removed the white-haired girl from his arm.

"Alice! I need my arm if you will..." Alex took his arm back from Alice who was hugging it and humming some song. It was really a surprise that Alice came to live in a dorm, she should be in the Nakiri mansion.

"I am Saiba Alexander, I hope we can get along with everyone." He looked around to see unmoved and cold glares directed at him especially a certain blond haired boy and one white-haired boy. Alexander related they're glare with his speech, but unlike the other inferior students, these two's intense glares are out of competitiveness, not jealousy.

"Then I am next..." Alice stood up with happy go lucky face, she raised her hand up and said: " I am Nakiri Alice..." Suddenly Alice's aura turned cold and serious, her Red eyes held a faint red glow inside them as she said: " I am here to be on top, keep that in mind." Immediately as she finished her introduction, her aura went back to the calm and cheerful as it was before.

After Alice, The blond haired boy stood up, he looked at Alexander with his blue eyes and looked at him and only him " I am Takumi Aladini and this my brother Isami, Our family runs a restaurant in Italy. And I want to add this.." Takumi closed his eyes for a moment before opening them and pointed at Alexander " I Takumi Aladini will make you swallow your words at the entrance ceremony back. I will show you that I am not here to play little games. Do you hear me? Saiba Alexander."

There was a moment of intense glaring shared between these two before it was broken by the next boy. His skin was a bit darker with a long white hair made into a ponytail, his green eyes looked at Takumi and Alexander with a hint of ridiculousness, its as if he didn't want to be a part of their little dispute.

"Hayama Akira." He sat back and closed his eyes, he took out his spice bottle, he put it near his nose and took a deep breath. For Akira, there is no need for words, he will crush his competitions when they face each other. Even that arrogant boy too, he will realize who Hayama Akira is.

And if it wasn't for Jun's insistence to get in a dorm, Akira wouldn't wast his time here around these people.

Kurokiba Ryo stood up with a lazy sigh " Kurokiba Ryo, I am lady Alice's assistance.." He returned and sat down. He wasn't interested in anything other than cooking and has no energy to wast in small talks.

The atmosphere inside the living room is chaotic, everyone is in his own world and with a little respect to the others. especially toward Alexander. Natasha could only smile meekly at this scene, this a school for chefs to face each other so its only natural for them to be on edge around each other.

"Oi! Alice, aren't you supposed to be in the Nakiri Mansion, how come you're here?" Alexander asked the main thing that was on his mind since he met Alice at the door.

"Of course I messed you so I decided to live with you under one roof." She said. she tightened her grip on Alex's arm as she smiled subjectively making Alex have cold sweat run down on his back.

"Lady Alice came here out of a recommendation from headmaster Senzaemon." Ryo exposed Alice's lie without hesitation causing Alexander to look at Alice with a frown.

"RYO!!" Alice pouted at Ryo's betrayal " You're supposed to be my aid!! support me will you!!"

"I'll keep that in mind..e Ryo responded in a monotone tone, clearly not listening.

"Enough!" Alex flicked Alice on her forehead as he took back his Arm and stood up making Alice pout again.

"I am going to sleep, Goodnight." Alex turned and headed upstairs

"WAIT!!" Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice. It was Takumi. He looked at Alexander with eyes full of fire. " We're still not done yet, Saiba Alexander" he crossed his arm and stood proudly with Isami his brother behind him.

"Not Done from what??" Asked Alex, he leaned forward a little and looked at Takumi for the answer

"I told I will make you swallow back your words. I didn't speak until now out of respect to Natasha-san...." Takumi looked at Alex in the eyes and declared "...Saiba Alexander, I challenge you to a match between the two of us!" The room becomes quiet for a moment. Alice looked at Takumi with an amused smile while Ryo and Akira were unimpressed, this wasn't related to them.

"Okey." Alexander accepted, he looked at the old Natasha who gave him a thumbs up. Young one should fight. She thought. Alexander walked to the kitchen followed by Takumi.

"Will your brother join us too??" Alexander asked

"Just me." Answered Takumi "Who will be the judges??" He asked, he just asked for a challenge but he forgot they need judges.

"Don't worry about that. Alice, Ryo, and white-haired boy will be." Said Alexander, he took out some kitchen knives and pots.

"Leave it to us~" Alice was excited, it's been a whole year since she met Alexander, so she is excited to be finally able to eat some of his food. While Ryo just nodded, if his lady accepted then he should too. It will be a pain in the ass if she started nagging him again.

"Count me out of this." Said Akira, he turned around to leave to his room, he wasn't interested in a little challenge between two idiots. Alexander looked at Akira for a bit before he looked at Natasha who understood what he wanted.

"I will be the third judge." She said, althought she wanted for Akira to join them but she can't force him something he doesn't want to do.

"Then it is decided. What dish should we make?" Takumi brought out his tools and wore his white cooking suit.

"Since it's late and I want to sleep, then something that can be cooked fast. Any suggestions?" Alex asked their judges

Natasha thought for a moment before she suggested, there aren't that much of ingredients in the kitchen, she needs to collect some from the gardens. She thought what can be cooked with what available and said: " How about Chicken Burrito, the ingredients for that are available now, so there is no need to get new ones from the gardens. what do you say?".
