------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been a week since the end of the exam here in Italy. All students who passed were given a vacation of 3 days before they can return to Japan and continue their studies and improvements. Not one student complained about that, they all rushed to the beach on the first day to enjoy the cold water and lay in the hot sun. The second day, they strolled between Italy's streets in organized tourist buses. The third was the most exciting as they got to travel to one historic location of their choice from between Colosseum, Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Roman Forum...etc.
Then came the day of returning, satisfaction was apparent on all students, no one boarded the plane and didn't have a smile on his face. then, Totsuki's flight to japan departed. The only person remaining from Totsuki in Italy is Alexander who spent his days sleeping like a log in the hotel. His mother was still busy playing in the underground.
After spending his last day after 2 of everyone returning to Totsuki in his company, getting summarised reports of what happened the last month, it was a hard job but it must be done. The company won't lead itself.
"Phew~" Alexander was in the airport walking to his private plane with Keanu "I can't believe i didn't realize that everyone returned without me." Alexander shook his head. He was too busy working...and sleeping to realize he forgot about school.
"hm..." Keanu nodded and didn't speak further.
Alexander boarded the plane and knocked on the captain's cabinet "To Japan..." He reminded the captain, he doesn't want to end up in Russia like the last time.
"Understood." The captain nodded. All that was left was to enjoy the trip in a luxurious plane with everything available.
Half a day later, at midnight, the plane reached Japan, Tokyo. Taking their cars, Keanu escorted Alexander to Totsuki, directly to the North Star. Since it was midnight, no one was up and he entered the dorm and claimed up the stairs and entered his room.
It was a long 2 weeks for Alexander. Reflecting on what happened, he smiled, it was both exciting and scary. From cooking to the car chasing and ten the attack on the bell tower. "Man...So much in just two weeks." He mumbled before drifting to sleep.
...
The next day, the dorm exploded with life again. Loud noises could be heard from Alexander's room, he groaned and shuffled in his bed before finally losing his sleep, he stood up and washed his face before going downstairs where all that commotion is all about.
When he got there, he saw Isami sitting alone on the dining table, he joined him and asked "What is going on?" he looked at the kitchen where everyone is gathering.
Isami smiled and answered, "It is a Shokugeki between Nii-san and Ryo-san..." Alexander wasn't even surprised, this is was the normal stuff here anyway.
"It seems that Ryo-san rage mode didn't accept the idea that he didn't get an invitation to BLUE tournament." Isami further explained.
Alexander raised an eyebrow "BLUE tournament? what is wrong with the colors? Just a month ago Rindo was talking about a RED tournament...What next, Green Tournament?" Alexander chuckled.
"Actually, yes, there is one. Though it is for newbie chefs..." Isami confirmed Alexander's joke with a smile.
Alexander sighed and dropped his face on the table "All those tournaments are just trouble." he said.
"Hahaha!" Isami chuckled making Alexander frown "What?" Alexander asked.
"Nothing, but...You have received an invitation to Blue too." Isami answered. Alexander's reaction didn't disappoint Isami's anticipation. His face froze with his eyes looking at space "eee~" Alexander smiled blankly and just semi-sighed and semi-laughed.
"Oh! babes!!" Alexander heard Alice's voice calling him. As soon as he turned to look at her, she was already at his face mushing it between her chest "I messed you so much! I wanted to tour around Italy with you!!" She complained to him. Alexander didn't respond and just rested his head in heaven.
"Are you listening?" Alice took his head off and looked him dead in the eyes.
"Yes. I heard you, we can go back now if you want." Alexander suggested. it is not that of a big dead anyway.
"No thank you, we need to prepare for Blue Tournament, it is just two weeks away." Alice took a seat by his side and locked his arm between her chest and clung to him.
"Aaaaa!!! Damn it! enough of this, I won! enough, I won't take you on another time!!!" Takumi's angry shout came from the kitchen "I am done with this!!" He throws hos towel on the floor and the left the kitchen.
"COME BACK YA COWARD!!!" Ryo's voice came from behind him. Takumi didn't answer him and just kept on grumbling as he came and sat with his brother on the table with Alexander and Alice.
"Call me a coward when you defeat me three times in a row!!" Takumi shouted. Alexander looked at Takumi with puzzled eyes.
"What happened?" he asked.
"The mofo is following me all day and challenging me to a shokugeki, n=he said he wants my invitation. This is my third victory since 6 in the morning." With a blood vein threatening to pop off.
"I SAID COME BACK!!" Ryo came out running from the kitchen.
"NO!!" Takumi retorted. "ask someone else, I am not the only one with the invitation!!"
"HUH!!" Ryo was about to start cussing but then he noticed Alexander "...You..." He calmed down and looked at Alexander "You got the invitation...?"
Alexander looked up at Ryo and he took a deep breath "...Damn." he said.
"IT'S A CHALLENGE!!!" Ryo Shouted.
...
The BLUE tournament is only 2 weeks from now. Alexander and the rest are preparing to join a battle that the like of never seen before, a battle between Noir Chefs and Blanc Chefs. Light and Darkness are finally about to clash. But what is the motive behind this? why did the book master change the rules?
