The autumn elections, it's an event where Totsuki's most elite and talented students are picked by the elite 10 themselves battle each other in an intense and heated battle, there is no room for weakness, no room for mistakes.

And the 43rd autumn election is no exception, its participants were chosen carefully and with the utmost care making sure that only the strong can step foot into the big stage.

Alexander and co walked inside the huge building where the autumn election will be held.

Inside the building is a large number of students waiting in the open arena with the other students in the spectacles seats, Alexander could swear that the whole school is here watching now.

"These people are supposed to be the strongest of the first years huh?" Alice said with a subtle mocking tone

"I hope so." Takumi stretched his arms as he scanned the area

"Looks like your brother is here too" Akira pointed with his chin at Soma getting Alexander's attention

"Good" Alexander smiled at his brother who waved at him from afar place

"I have to say, he is a strange one" Akira recalled the day Soma visited Jun's place for some lectures about spices once the theme for the election was decided

"Tell me something I don't know, he is just like our father" Alexander could swear that Soma and his father are a copy of each other, it's a constant battle for who is the weirdest between the two of them.

Soma ran to his brother with his friends, Megumi, Yuki and Ryoko.

"Aniki, it's been long since the last time I saw you," Soma said as he punched Alexander lightly, the last time he saw his brother was when they were playing bing bong in their dorm before Alexander left suddenly without saying anything. "hello, everyone" he greeted his brothers friends too and so did Megumi and co

But when his eyes landed on Isami, he got confused "Is this guy a new resident in your dormitory, Brother?" he asked with his head tilted

"I've never seen him before anywhere." Said Ryoko

"Yeah, and he is quite handsome, so I am pretty sure if someone like this was in our school I'd know about him." Said Yuki with her hand on her chin trying to recall where has she seen Isami

"What are you talking about? this is my brother, Isami" Said Takumi

Everyone took a moment to prosses his words out "Are you kidding me?!!" they shouted, their picture of Isami is the large dude who is always walking behind his brother, but this dude is on another level.

Alexander and the others nodded in agreement with them, they had the same reaction when Isami came down one morning for the breakfast, they almost throw him out of the dorm thinking he was an intruder who walked in without permission.

As the boys and girls were talking about Isami's transformation, the lights turned off and everyone shut up from the sudden event.

[We'de like to thank all of our attendees for waiting, please pay attention to the stage in the front, we'll have some opening words from the director himself.] an announcer said in the mic as all students looked at the front stage with nervousness. This is Totsuki, until now, not a single good thing came when they were listening to some opening speeches

Senzaemon, the director of Totsuki walked to the big stage with his grey Yukata and wooden sandals, his face is unmoving with no clear emotions on it. He sent a little bit of fear to the students just by walking and being present. He stood at the stage and inhaled deeply until he chocked causing a series of coughing.

Alice facepalmed herself "Grandpa, what are you doing?" Alexander and Hayama chuckled at that.

[When I breathe in this place's atmosphere, I can feel my hear and body being surrounded by vitality. This Venue is know as the "Chandra's room" It is only used for the Shokugeki's between the elite 10.] Senzaemon's words sent shock through all the students, making them realize how important this place is, anything related to the elite 10 is very important and to battle in the same place they use, is a great honor.

[To honor all of the people who have been in the position of the first seat, it's our tradition to hang their portrait here.] He pointed at the wall edge where a series of portraits ate hanged of all the 1st elite 10 seat holders.

Alexander looked up to see some of the people he recognizes. His mother Alexandra is there too, her portrait is hanged a little bit before that of Doujima.

He also saw Shinomiya's too, Soma was surprised at that, he had never witnessed anything like that.

"Oh! its that women from the last week with my father." Soma pointed at the portrait of Alexander's mother

"Huh? You don't know who she is?" asked Alexander, he looked at his brother with confusion, doesn't he know that Alexandra is Joichro's first wife?

"Nah, she was with my father when he came to visit, but I didn't get the time to introduce myself probably." Soma shrugged, everyone in the room looked at him and then looked at Alexander, they know who Alexandra is but it is not their business to speak in.

Alexander decided no to tell him anyway, if his mother didn't introduce herself to him probably, then he shouldn't get in her business anyways.

[Many matches and many specialties were born here.] Senzarmon continued as he brought the students back from their sightseeing [ they linger here like sediment. The continues memories of the battle that were held here, and the autumn election's "main tournament" will be held here too]

Senzaemon's voice started to get louder, deeper and more joyful, the more he spoke about this place, the more excited he became too, and the students shared the same feeling too.

[LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOU WILL MAKE HISTORY HERE] he shouted as hard as he can getting the students adrenaline pumping up like crazy as the grinned wide and clear [ COOKS OF TOTSUKI'S 92ND GENERATION? LET US MEET AGAIN IN THIS PLACE] following his voice, all of the first years gave an ear-piercing shout in response to the director's speech.

Senzaemon then left the stage, letting the students enjoy their moment of feeling the power in themselves. After he left the stage, another announcement came

[...We will now announce the rules of the preliminaries. the basic regulations are as written in the letter sent to you: The theme is "Curry Dish". You may use the ingrediants in this venue or the ones you brought with you, the time limit is three hours...And regarding the number the passing students...Out of the 60 participants, the number of students that will advance to the main tournaments is a total of eight.]

These few words sent shivers down the spines of every student there. As they have expected, things aren't getting any easier.

"Eight?!!"

"Impossible, but why did they even bother choosing 60 participants?!"

"Again!!!"

"So cruel!" Many reactions irrupted between the students. from fear, excitement, nervousness, and anxiety.

[We ask all participants promptly proceed to either hall A or B at this time, in about an hour from now...at 11:00, the preliminaries will start]

All students didn't waste any time, althought they were scarred, they are still the best of the first year in this generation. Each student ran to his designated hall.

"Well then, let us go too" Alexander looked at his friends who were still calm and quiet about the whole thing, unlike everyone, these guys are the most confident in their skills, they know they can face any challenge that comes their way

"Make sure you pass this round, I hope to meet someone from our dorm in the finals" Alexander smiled at them which they returned.

"You bet, it will be me who you'll be facing." Takumi proclaimed proudly, each day he is growing, each day he is learning new stuff, either from Alexander, Hayama, Alice, Ryo, Isami, or even his own mistakes. He won't stop growing, not until he defeats Alexander.

Alexander was happy to hear that, he looked at the other and with no words, he could understand that they were determined to reach the top with their full power.

"Then, let us meet first in the main tournament." Alexander turned to leave to his hall. The rest followed him as they were separated into two halls.

Alexander breathed in a deep breath, This intense feeling, this excitement, this atmosphere...It's just good old Totsuki. he thought
