Chapter 142 - Meeting

The next day. The train reached its destination as the snow from last night stopped falling and the sun came out from behind the clouds to bring light upon this land.

Alexander exited the train while stretching his body.

"You're late!!" His mother shouted. She and the others have been waiting for Alexander for quite some time now "How dare you?!!" She wasn't actually pissed but she just found something to annoy Alexander with.

Alexander felt pissed and looked at his father "I am sorry...But i couldn't sleep because of a certain someone." Joichiro shrugged his shoulders with an innocent simile 'This guy pisses me off!' Alexander thought.

"Anyway, you should head to the meeting point, it is time." Senzaemon cleared his troth and spoke. He looked at Erina and ruffled her hair "Go..." he said.

Takumi, Alexander, Alice, Erina, and Hisako together with the a.d.u.l.ts; Alexandra, Leonora, Doujima, and Joichiro left to meet with Azami and central members.

They all headed to the abandoned train station, when they arrived they found no one there but Azami's assistance.

"Where is the brat?" Asked Alexandra.

"Azami-sama will be here with the rest in a moment." He said. Alexandra felt frustrated, they decide the meeting point and then get the nerves to be late?!

"Oh! they do snowboarding here?" Takumi pointed at some people coming down the snow mountain as they seem to be snowboarding.

"Who knows, the Japanese are unpredictable." Alexander shrugged.

"It seems they have arrived." The assistance looked at the people coming down the mountain and smiled.

Everyone looked at them carefully and they saw it was Azami and his bunch.

"See, I told you they are unpredictable," Alexander spoke near Takumi who nodded.

Behind Azami were the people from the elite 10. Rindo, Tsukasa, Saito, Nene, Momo and finally Eizan. Once they have reached down, they walked to their side of the station and being separated by one line Railtrack between them and Alexander's side.

When Alexander saw Rindo, he remembered her pregnancy. He poked his mother's arm "What?" she asked with a raised brow.

Alexander brought her down to his level and whispered to her ear...

"WHAT?!!" Alexandra shouted scaring everyone around her. Alexander looked at Rindo and started bouncing with her little feet like a little girl.

"Rindo!! Is it--" before she could say any word she was cut off by Alexander

"Wait, wait, wait! don't say that in front of the others, later, later." Alexander stopped his mother. He doesn't want any unnecessary attention now. He has forgotten to inform his family again due to everything going on and Rindo being away from him most of the time.

Alexandra was very excited as she suddenly seemed so happy while just earlier she had a frown on her face.

Alice and Erina knew what Alexander told her and they felt jealous, they wished that that reaction was directed at them.

"What happened?" Leonora asked.

"Tell you later!" Alexandra entered into her fantasy and started imagining her self with her grandchildren. Leonora felt confused but didn't press the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen..." Azami spoke after he faced the rebels with a mocking smile. Everyone brought their attention back and looked at each other with an undisputed will, except Eizan who didn't dare to look at certain people's eyes.

"I am sorry for being late but let us commence our meeting regarding the 6th exam." Azami looked at Nene and she took out a paper and started reading its content.

"The 6th exam and the final one will be carried in one month..." She said. No one had expected that they will have to wait for a month "There will a special stage installed for the battle of the Regimental Shokugeki on the southern tip of Rebun island, we are planning to build a stadium where the ordinary students who are still in the midst of making their way north as a part of the promotion exams can spectate the event."

The rebels nodded. Although they felt weird as there were no unreasonable demands this time or tricks.

"That's it, no smart moves from you?" Alexander tilted his head in confusion but a mocking smile was very clear on his face.

"Oya Oya, how low do you think of me, I don't need such things to defeat you anyway." Azami proclaimed shamelessly.

Alexander's mother chuckled "It's not you don't need them. Maybe, just maybe you ran out of ideas. Isn't that right, my dear son?" She said with a mocking laugh.

"It is as you said, my dear mother." Alexander joined his mother in mocking Azami.

'These two pisses me off!!!" Azami shouted internally but he didn't show it on his face.

Doujima, Leonora, Joichiro shook their head 'They are really a mother and son.'

Doujima chuckled and spoke, "I guess we have a deal now, right?"

Azami remembered something "Ah! I would like to add something..." He said with a chuckle "Don't be nervous, it's not that serious."

'Since from you, we don't think so.' They thought.

"I would like to add a few people to my line up, and of course you can do the same, the only condition that they must be from Totsuki and not expelled." He said

"That is agreeable, father, but you better remember your side of the deal, if we win, each of us gets an elite 10 seat, and the expulsion of our friends' will be revoked," Erina spoke.

Azami looked at his daughter and smiled "But of course..." he took out their friends' student ID and passed them to his elite "For each one you defeat you get the right to bring one back."

He looked at his old friends from Totsuki that he cooked with "I hope that all of you are ready. Because I will honor our past friendship and come at you with everything."

"heh!" Joichiro scuffed "That is the plan!" He said.

"But Erina, you speak as if you will fight with them, are you mistaken by chance?" Azami's words traveled to Erina's ear and made her tremble. She remembered the tone he used to speak with her in the past and got scared "You are the elite 10's 10th seat, you will fight with us, Erina." His words were like a choking hand wrapped around her neck.

Alexander and Alice with Alexandra put their hands on Erina's shoulder and assured her that they are here with her as a family.

Erina took a deep breath and looked at her father in the eyes "Father..." she called. Azami was shocked, she never acted like this before.

"I now resign from my duties as an elite 10 and officially join the rebels in their battle to overthrow your system and education." She said with a sharp tone shocking all of the elite 10. Not in all of Totsuki's history, there has been someone who let go of the elite 10 seats so willingly.

"What is so shocking, we will get that seat back too anyway," Alice said as she scuffed at the shocked Azami and his elite 10. Rindo smiled and gave Erina a thumbs up.

From the elite 10, Tsukasa looked at Alexander and called for him "Saiba Alexander..." He spoke, "from that day of the moon banquet festival...your words are still stuck in my head."

Erina looked Alexander with confusion while Alice understood what he meant as she was with him "And what about it? I meant what I said back then." Alexander spoke.

"Indeed..." Tsukasa's carefree aura changed to a dangerous one that omitted his cheer will and pride as a chef "...I swear on my beliefe as a chef that i will crush your belief and show you who is the one with the boring cooking." He said.

Alexander smirked as he too let loose and shouted: "Then, come at me, Tsukasa Eichi, I will make you kneel in front of me!!!"

Takumi, Alice, Hisako, and Erina too pointed at their counterpart of the elite 10 and shouted: "Come at us, we will crush you with everything we got!!!"

Leonora, Alexandra, Doujima, and Joichiro smirked at the kids' battle spirit.

"Then, Adios Amigos, We will meet in a month," Alexandra said.

The stage is being prepared for the match, the rebels will face against Central soon.

While this was happening in Totsuki, some hidden forces started making a move against the Helmet family.

How will this event turn out? will everything work out in favor of the rebels? or will they face their defeat against Azami and his forces?
