Chapter 8 - Shokugeki no Tenchi

As Miyuki gets his clothes ready for the day. Tenchi does a light 500 push ups and sit ups in 2 minutes

After that, he got changed and they headed to class. But he stopped noticing that Miyuki was further behind him

Miyuki seeing him stopped went to him and ask

Miyuki: Nura-sama is there an issue?

Tenchi: First there is no need for the sama or calling me by my last name. I don't actually care about the Nura Clan

Miyuki was confused about his words. Nura Clan

Tenchi: You can just call me Tenchi. Also, walk next to me not behind me

Miyuki: Nura-sama

she saw how upset Tenchi was

Miyuki:Te-Tenchi-sama

He squinted his eyes

Miyuki: Tenchi-san it is rude for a maid to walk next to their master

Tenchi: Aren't you always saying I'm just a commoner that isn't suited to be here. In team sports, it doesn't matter what position you play each is very important. For me, as my maid, you're my catcher

Miyuki: catcher!' she imagines a big fat guy tackling guys who try to get home

Tenchi: not like what you're imagining. *sigh* in baseball the catcher is the person who calls the shots of the ace pitcher. They are the true hero of the game. They support the ace and without them, the pitcher wouldn't be able to play the best they could. You are my catcher, my aide my hero. They don't stand in the back they look each other in the eye..

Miyuki: you really are disgusting when it comes to sports

Tenchi smiles as she walks next to him

Tenchi: So do you have any siblings

She looks at him strangely and says she has an older brother

Tenchi: cool I have siblings too

she stops and was shocked

Miyuki: you do?

she researched him and didn't find any siblings of his...he did go by a different name prior through but still

Tenchi: Yup I have 3 older sisters, 3 younger sisters, a brother and sister my age and a younger brother

Miyuki: how come I haven't heard of them before...

Tenchi: That's because they don't have the same last name...oh look its the classroom

As he arrives Reiko comes out of the classroom and greets him.

Reiko: We would like it if you come with us to welcome party in the auditorium after dinner. Aiko I would like it if you could join us too

Aiko who for some reason was hiding behind him ran into the classroom

Reiko: dear it seems once again I have done something to offend her

Tenchi: (strange girl...is it that time of the month?)

he sees her acting cold

--------------------------

Tenchi saw in class Reiko was being seen as the perfect student and everyone was shocked that Tenchi was just as talented if not more. His flower arrangement even stunned the teacher

---------------------------------

Then Gym class happen. There was a long jump

Reiko did an amazing jump that was the best for the normal students

Aiko was next she attempted to jump but fell face first into the dirt as she tripped and Tenchi jumped that was a new record entirely for the school

Aiko was depressed after her fall and walked away

Reiko: even in my entire life I don't think I could ever be as good as you in jumping

Tenchi: it's not that big deal, I am an athlete...anyway, where is our social butterfly?

Reiko: social butterfly?

Tenchi: its a nickname for Aiko. In the common world, we give nicknames to our friends

Reiko looks depressed thinking that if Aiko made friends with him. then the fault that they're not close is the fault of her own

she explains that she wasn't able to bridge the gap between the two of them.

Tenchi (I kind of want to tell her that Aiko just wants to make friends...but I probably shouldn't get in the middle of their thing)

Tenchi: I don't think its your fault. whatever the cause is, I just hope you to dislike her. To be honest I think that would be a shame

Reiko: How could I ever dislike her. Thats not possible

Tenchi: ri-right

Reiko smiles at him

Reiko: but I hope your right and I haven't done anything to displease Aiko. If thats really true theres a ray of hope at the end. Hope is all I need. In due time I hope we could all be friends

-------------------------------------

They went to the dinning hall. This was Tenchi first time eating here so he was a little shocked at the size of it

Reiko: Your the guest of honor so you should lead the way

in the background he heard there he is, is that a commoner. Is that really the way a commoner walks. His poster is actually really graceful...He looks even more attractive as he walks

Tenchi has taking ballroom dancing so his poster and grace is above the normal

------------------------

Recently they had gotten a chef that graduated from a famous cooking school. She is the head chef of this school. His maid said that he wants ramen so she made ramen for him...it was one of the only Japanese meals on the menu

She took her pride and made it and served it to him...but to her displeasure, she heard something

---------------------------------------

Tenchi who ordered the ramen felt it was good but lacking...they made a fatal mistake when they cooked it. It kind of annoyed him

Tenchi: this Ramen is ruined

he accidentally screamed. Grasp could be heard all over the dining hall. "was it really bad?" "I smell amazing" "I tasted her food and all of it is so delicious!"

Tenchi: You're all mistaken whoever made this failed greatly at making the Ramen...

Then suddenly a beautiful young girl in a chef outfit came out with a metal ladle and threw it at Tenchi. Tenchi, of course, caught it

Tenchi notices the girl had long black hair and red eyes

Chef??: You bastard you think you can insult my cooking like this. I know I did everything right

Tenchi sneered: did everything right...and you call yourself a chef...you made a big mistake in making Ramen

Chef??: If your so great why we see how great your ramen is

Tenchi went in front of her

Tenchi: that sounds like a challenge

Chef??: Shokugeki

confusion went in the throughout the dining hall

The 5 blades who were watching in the back were shocked at this challenge and wanted to see how this new boy would do...and see if he accepts this challenge

Tenchi: A shokugeki is a challenge where we compete with our cooking in a battle. Usually, we bet something each...what are you betting.

Chef: I'll bet myself. If you win I'll be yours to do as you want

Tenchi: fine if I lose I'll be yours and you can do what you want to me from now on

Chef: We need a judge

Sayuri smiled and came out of nowhere

Sayuri: How about I as the vice principal be one of the judges along with

The 5 blades were about to go because it was their job to be impartial but Tenchi words stopped them'

Tenchi: how about Reiko and Aiko. Reiko wouldn't lie and Aiko wouldn't be able to lie. Plus they're students eating a students meal. Its only right we have some students eating it too

Sayuri smiled and agreed

Sayuri looked at both and asked

Sayuri: Tenchi Nura are you sure you want to compete she is a strong chef...even if you did not care for the Ramen... I can't imagine you beating her

Tenchi: hah she will regret challenging me. Plus as an athlete, we never back down from challenges

Sayuri: Tōka Takanashi are you sure you're going to challenge a student...I hate to say this but

Toko: I'm going all out. He insulted my pride as a chef

Sayuri just sighed

Sayuri: You have 1 hour. The person who makes the best Ramen wins...

All the girls were excited. They never saw a cooking battle before
