The time comes, City D High School and the Tōtsuki Culinary Academy Match finally start, when Lou and the others arrive in the ring they are surprised by what they see.
The ring is filled of exotic and rare ingredients all over the realm, a whole kitchen is a setup in the rings.
It looks like there's no match for this game but a cooking show, after all, there's even 3 main judges and 30 famous chefs.
"What's happening here? Is there a change in schedule?" Furuichi asked.
Lou and the girls also confused, they all know that the ring is reserved for them and their match at this time, but it seems that there something not right
"Your wrong, we really are the one who will going to fight in this ring, well, in short, Lou will going to fight alone for the first game,"
"The first game with this ring setup?"
"You all know that our opponent is the Tōtsuki Culinary Academy, a famous school that trains world-class chefs, adn right now Lou is a challenge to a Shokugeki, and it seems the first match will be his match."
"A Shokugeki? Isn't that a tradition passed inside of the Tōtsuki Culinary Academy? How can Lou be challenged by them using this tradition?"
"Let's make it simple, Lou challenge by his Fiancee this morning,"
"Pooh~ can we go back and sleep?" Yoruichi irritates me.
"Yes teach,~ this is just a couple fight, let's just go back and rest."
"Me too, I feel that I'm going to get diabetes if I watch this game."
"I want to watch the match." Roka raises her hand.
"Me too, I want to see the SHokugeki."
"I want to,"
"Then go, those who want to go back go, those who want to watch then stay and dont do anything stupid."
"The first match will be the Shokugeki, is that fine?"
"It's fine, but still making this grand seems too much for a simple match?"
"Simple you said? Don't anger me pervert, for me, my love life is second most important that my cooking."
"It seems you are into a Shoujo novel making that kind of reaction."
She lacks knowledge on some social conventions. While she detests the idea of romance and showing no interest, she began to like reading Shōjo manga to learn more about romance when her cousin teases her about lack of knowledge about romance.
Looking at her beef red face, Lou's memory in his past life about this girl seems right, he did not expect that he can still remember something about this girl.
"Let's start, we still need to do a proper match."
"So what is the rule?"
Erina walk on the stage and pick an ingredient,
"The main ingredient is egg, each one of us will make one dish and let the judge taste it to see the winner,"
"Simple, let's start."
"Good, even though I know that you're just an amateur chef, I'm still going to use all my strength to crush you so better be prepared."
Lou gently smiled and nodded.
Erina hurry turns around and starts picking her ingredient but what You don't know is that she is hiding her flustered face from him.
While Erina and Lou start preparing their dish, in the judge era there's heated discussion.
"You said, why do you think they ask us to be the judge of this match? Why not beat the boy to pulp to make this match end?"
"That would be the perfect way to educate him.."
"Wawa! Ta...Taki-senpai! Physical punishment is forbidden! The practice was widespread in the kitchen in the past but not now!"
"Shut your trap!! You brėȧst monster!! Don't go swing this thing around when you're timid and gloomy!"

Taki irritates Lou who is sitting while watching Nakiri.
"That's no good, sitting will not bring any answer for him, and watching Nakiri will not give him inspiration or even make him win against him."
"Is he just sitting?"
"But still, this boy can be a star just from his elegant nature."
"Hello, this is not a variety show, who is a cooking show."
"Hsi pretty face looks traditional, so maybe I can bring him back to my restaurant."
"Inui-senpai, we don't even know if he can make a food decent or not~." Sonoka said.
"You guys look at that kid's hand, you will notice something pretty interesting."
"Let me see let me see…..!! That is!!"
"Doujina-senpai, if I'm not wrong…. That's an egg right?"
"That's right, but I'm still confused about what is he doing to that egg, and what he want to accomplish by rubbing it continuously."
