120 It's Not Hayama

In another location...

Beijing...

Several black cars stopped in front of a Chinese noodles restaurant in a secluded area.

Men in Black suits and sunglasses stepped out and cleared the area, the main car's door was opened to reveal a man in a long grey coat and a hat, he had a dragon's tattoo on his neck.

He looked around him and then to the Chinese restaurant in front of him, he adjusted his clothes and looked at his watch and walked to the door.

He knocked on the door three times in a rhythmical manner. A man with the build of hulk opened the door and scanned the man in front of him "Tai Lung?" he questioned with a deep voice.

"Indeed, I presume that Haru is here." Tai Lung said with a calm and calculative tone. The hulking man nodded and opened the door to let Tai Lung in. His men wanted to follow him but the hulk stopped them "No, only him." He said.

"Just stay back, Haru is a friend." Tail Lung said from behind the hulk making his men relax a little.

The hulk led Tai Lung inside through a long and dark path lit by candles "Still loves the mysterious atmosphere." Tai Lung said to himself as he remembered the man he will be meeting soon.

After a couple of minutes of walking, the path finally ended in a large and round hall. Tai Lung looked around to see several armed men scattered around the hall, and in one particular corner, the man Tai Lung was looking for is sitting in his desk doing the paperwork with two men standing behind him.

"Haru, my friend!" Tai Lung raised his hand in happiness that wasn't shown in his face or voice as he walked to Haru

"What brought you here, Tai Lung?" Haru said without even looking at his guest.

"Can't a man visit his friend from time to time?" Tai Lung joked as he took his place in front of Haru to sit down.

Haru stopped writing for a moment before he continued, he chuckled "We're not friends..." Haru said "...Just say what you need, I am busy."

"Busy with following the Helmet Boy?" Tai Lung said. He no longer bothered to lighten the mood making Haru clench his fist when he remembered the name.

"You are going to hit a wall soon and you will be dragging us with you too." Tai Lung said.

Haru didn't reply and kept on doing his paperwork. Tai Lung gritted his teeth in frustration at the young man in front of him "Enough of this, you know you can't win..." Tai Lung calmed down and talked calmly "your foolish act will bring us a lot of disasters in the future, in fact, it has already done."

"What do you mean?" Haru asked.

"My men have seen the Baba Yaga snooping around China for a few days last month..." Tai Lung rubbed his head "You can't stay hidden like this, and I can't help you anymore, the Red Blinders are keeping me under surveillance 24/7."

Haru smiled slightly and finally put down his pen "It seems i have caused you many troubles, cousin. But don't worry, i know i won't be able to win against the Red Blinders...The thing is, I don't need to win, I just need to take one life and I can die with no regrets." Haru said.

Tai Lung looked at Haru and he sighed "Just what did Alexander Helmet do to you that you hate him this much?" He asked. This was a question he has been asking for a long time but never received the answer

Haru looked at the candles as fire dance on them, that fire resembles Haru's soul a lot, a dense ball of unidentified hatred that tries to burn and consumes its target with everything until its life span is over

"I don't know, but..."Haru gritted his teeth "...When i saw his face that day...A great pain assaulted my legs, arms, and eyes, I felt like i was cut into pieces and then burned alive and all I wanted was him dead. And I am sure to do that."

Tai Lung looked at his cousin and shook his head "I hope you know what you're doing." he said.

At Totsuki...

With Alexander's win over Eizan, many things changed a little better. Taking the chance, Isshiki moved fast and destroyed Eizan's fixed Shokugeki plan forcing the Central to make a new declaration allowing the Dorms, Seminaries, and R.C.S to repeal their dismissal through a Shokugeki, of course with fair rules and neutral judges. And all of that is thanks to Alexander's win. Now others will have a fair chance to regain a little of their freedom.

Isshiki came to the North Star with his dormmates including Soma and even Fumio to inform Alexander and the others about this new and to celebrate their win.

A party was prepared by The Polar Star people as they made it very enjoyable with their reckless and happy go lucky mentality. But, seeing Isshiki in his Naked Apron is still a culture shock for them.

After the party ended, the north people left after saying that they need to prepare for their Shokugeki to save their dorm tomorrow.

The North Star calmed down after the noisy ones left but the happy atmosphere was still there.

The majority went to sleep from exhaustion leaving only Erina and Alexander sitting in the living room. It was Alexander that called for Erina to stay as he still needs to confirm their relationship.

"Today was a long day wasn't it?" Alexander broke the ice as both of them were quiet for a long time.

"E-eh, ah yes, it is..." Erina felt embarrassed for being left alone with Alexander

"We didn't get the time to speak properly after that night...Erina." Alexander was serious, he promised himself he will take Erina under his wing and protect her "Do you love me?" He asked

Erina was shocked, it was a straightforward question, either yes or no.

Erina felt like her heart was bursting, but unlike the last time, this time she won't hesitate

As she resolved herself to speak her feelings, the door was knocked on.

"Tsk..." Alexander felt annoyed, this was a serious moment. He walked to the door to see who came this late "I swear if it's Hayama I am punching him in the face." He said as he opened the door.

A pale face with dark eyes like the bottom of the sea appeared as Alexander opened the door. Alexander realized that this was Azami himself standing at the door "Hello." Azami said.

*Slam*

Alexander slammed the door closed in Azami's face "It seems it's not Hayama." He said as he went back inside
