Chapter 119 - About to begin

"This is outrageous!!" Takumi slammed his hand on the table with frustration "Even the judges turned their backs on us, how are we even supposed to fight back in a situation like this?" He wasn't the only one feeling like this, Ryo, Isami, Alice, Hisako, Erina, and Natasha. The only one who wasn't bothered by this is Alexander

"Relax, Takumi. It's not a big deal." Alexander said while leaning back on his chair and looking at the ceiling.

"It is a big deal," Hisako said, she looked at Alexander not understanding how can he be this calm, especially since his match is tomorrow against not only Eizan but the judges too.

Alexander chuckled as everyone looked at him in confusion "This but a game of power, for a normal student, this is checkmate, but not for me. I have my ways around things." He felt a vibration in his pocket and took out his phone. he received a message from Vlad

-Vlad: Everything is done, you don't need to worry.

Alexander smiled and typed back

-Alexander: Good work.

Alexander stood up and passed by Erina who was still down, he ruffled her hair and laughed "Stop being so sad about everything, nothing happened because of you." Erina knows this but she still can't get the idea out of her head.

"He is right, seeing you like this disgust me!" Alice while giving Erina the stink eye.

"Then maybe you should look somewhere else." Erina retorted.

"Is that so? I live here though..."

When everyone saw that the two cousins are going to start arguing again, they decided to follow Alexander and leave them be. Even Hisako started to have trouble calming the two down.

Despite this, the dead Shokugeki was just the start, The Azami administration has already started its plan to reform the schooling system as students and teachers were instructed to follow strict protocol and specific recipes with specific methods provided solely by the Azami administration. Any outsider method or receipt is prohibited to be practiced.

Students have started to feel the change, a lot of them were forced to do things they were the worst at, there was no longer the freedom of choosing a cuisine course that you can study and major in, the Azami administration required everyone to attend all of the numerous cuisine course out there and study them all in order.

There was no longer any free time. Totsuki has become a prison.

After Eizan's stunt today, he went to the Shokugeki department to ask if there any challenges.

"They were all canceled!!" Shouted the chief of the Shokugeki department. He was angry frustrated and sad. How can they taint such sacred dual between students?

"How unfortunate, and here i was planning on accepting them all! HAHAHA!!" Eizan couldn't help but laugh and mock everyone and how stupid they became.

"But chief...there is still one left." The chief's secretary said while taking a challenge letter that she had received today's morning. "It's from Saiba Alexander, his letter is directed towards Eizan as the representative of the Azami administration, his wining condition is the abolishment of the North Star dorm closing."

"Saiba Alexander?!" The chief shouted from shock "The top first-year?!" He questioned. His secretary nodded in response.

"Alexander..."Eizan swallowed some saliva, he was nervous about his rash action yesterday. Alexander's words are still echoing in his head. He felt his forehead sweating and fear started building up inside him. He can still see his brother dying by one command from Alexander.

'Calm down, he won't use his power in Totsuki, he is not that type of guy, everything is fine. Plus, i am only acting upon Azami's orders, if someone will receive his backlash, it will be Azami himself.' Eizan convinced himself

The next day...

It was finally time for Alexander's Shokugeki. When the students heard that the strongest first year is challenging Eizan, a sparkle of pride and joy that there was someone at least not backing out and fighting for his right. Many thought this was a stupid move, a suicidal act. But none f them dared to mock Alexander, he was far and much braver than them, them who backed out like cowards trying to save their skins.

The Shokugeki would be broadcasted to the whole of Totsuki by the Shokugeki department.

[The Shokugeki was confirmed yesterday between Etsuya Eizan and Saiba Alexander, the winning condition is the abolishment of the North Star Dorm's closing while the losing condition is the closing of the North Star and Saiba Alexander's expulsion] the announcer woman said. The camera was focusing on Alexander and Eizan who were standing beside each other, they seem to be talking as they don't have mics on them to convey their converstation.

"You really should just quit. This is very diffrent than what you think, you can't solve this with cooking." Eizan said to Alexander who chuckled at his words.

"You think i will let you do your own thing?" Alexander looked at him with a side glance.

"Humph, this Shokugeki is a dead end. And to save us time, I have sent several of my boys to evacuate the North Star while you taste your first defeat here." Eizan grow bolder as he spoke in a provocative manner

Alexander noticed this and chuckle "Well, I hope you are not lying, then I won't feel bad for cutting your tongue and pulling your eyes out after that." Alexander laughed it off as he went to look at the ingredients

Eizan smiled pushed his glasses back "fufufu~ that was just a lie, I still need to properly defeat you." While saying so, he took his phone and sent a quick message

- Eizan: abort! go back, don't enter the North Star, wait until I am done. If you did anything else, I will send your corps to the human trafficking organization.

Eizan closed his phone and looked at Alexander 'This guy can be scary at times. I almost forgot that the reason he killed my brother was that he harmed his men.' Eizan reflected on his actions and decided to save his life.

And at that moment, the judges entered the hall. Eizan smirked and went to greet them

"Gentleman...good day to you, I hope we have another successful Shokugeki this time too." He said with his arms wide open

"Y-yeah, we do too..." One of the judges said awkwardly.
