So, y'all gon tell me that you don't play Guild Wars 2? BRUH!!!
----------------------------------------------------
Alexander's words made the whole arena shut up in silence. Even his friends in Yukihira's dinner who were watching this live.
"Wh-what is he thinking?!" Marui said with his hands trembling.
"Taking on the elite 10 is outrageous!!" Yuki shouted.
"Yukihira-kun, your brother has gone insane!" Ikumi Mito said. Soma's eyes were wide open with shock, even he didn't dare to go that far.
Isami and Ryo were silent "No...he just might be able to pull it off." Ryo spoke.
"What are you talking about?! the elite 10 aren't just your normal students, they are master in their own crafts!!" Ikumi Mito said with gritted teeth.
"You don't know who is his mother so it is understandable..." Ryo didn't blame them for doubting Alexander.
"Who is his mother then?" Tadokor questioned.
...
"Are you aware of what you are saying?" Tsukasa spoke to Alexander after seeing everyone stunned at his words. Even Azami didn't react until he has heard Tsukasa speak.
[Yes I do...I don't have time anymore so I will end this joke quickly] Alexander said in the mic [My team agreed to my proposal and all that is left is you...but I wonder if you dare to face me?]
Tsukasa for the first time in his life felt anger "You undermine us too much, Saiba Alexander!!" He said.
Azami chuckled "You really want to face the elite 10 and put your friends and your team's life on your shoulder?!"
[I don't mind such responsibility. We are giving you an offer that you won't regret and decided to cut this battle short. So say your decision now.] Alexander shrugged his shoulders not caring about the responsibility at all. After all, it will only take one dish.
Azami looked at Tsukasa who nodded back at him. He then looked back at Rindo, Nene, Eizan, Momo, and Saitō. They too nodded in approval.
Rindo was so excited 'So cool!! A one-man versus an army!!' Rindo knew that being on the opposite side will be the most exciting thing ever. She can't wait to witness the result of such a match as soon as possible.
Azami made his decision "So be it. You aginst the 6 elite 10."
Alexander smirked and throw the mic to Urara-chan who started repeating what has just happened. Alexander returned to his team corner and apologized to his friends for not letting them fight.
"I am sorry but I am really in trouble, I need to leave the country in a few hours," Alexander said.
"Tch! Couldn't even get my hands on one of them, damn it!" Mimasaki scuffed his foot on the floor.
Alexander laughed as he pats Mimasaki's shoulder "Don't worry, once I beat them here, you can challenge them to a Shokugeki once they have returned to Totsuki."
"Anyway, good luck in your battle, you will need it." Isshiki said to Alexander who nodded.
Alexander headed to the arena and faced with the six elite 10, a new station was added as the number of fighters has increased to 7 instead of 6. Tsukasa wasn't happy with Alexander, he clenched his fists and swore to teach Alexander a lesson. Rindo was excited, while Nene, Momo, and Saito were indifferent to such change as they mocked Alexander's "stupidity", as for Eizan, he doesn't want to take part in anything related to Alexander anymore. Just a few minutes ago, he saw an army of men with the Red Blinders' logo on their collars, he hopes nothing will befall him.
[Since this is a battle of 6 vs 1, the theme will be one...Saiba Alexander, you chos--] Urara-chan was about to suggest for Alexander to take a paper for their theme. But Rindo beat her to it.
"I will do it!!!" Rindo ran to the capsule and shuffled through before pulling one paper out. Alexander sighed tiredly 'She is sure being energetic and being oblivious to our current situation.' He thought.
Rindo raised her hand and showed the theme. Urara-chan saw the paper and announced [The theme for the final bout is...SOUP!!] she shouted. Alexander immediately thought about what kind of soup he should make and in a second he reached a conclusion. He cracked his fingers and took off to his station.
The ingrediants were brought and the elite 10 and Alexander were face to face again, this Tsuaksa and Alexander reached for the same tomato and their hands were above each other.
Tsukasa neared Alexander and whispered "I hope you didn't forget our promise that day, I will destroy." he said.
Alexander chuckled "Of course I remember, I never forget promises that I made with children." Alexander snatched the tomato and went back to his station. Tsukasa's eyes were focusing on Alexander, he has heard from Rindo how good his cooking was against Eiazn, but he still believes that he is still the better cook, he is still the [White Night Of The Table].
"Try to make your best dish, elite. Because I am not going easy on you." He mumbled.
Alexander was afraid that he might not find any soaked chickpeas, but thankfully, as it was told, every ingredient of any dish possible was available in the storage, even soaked chickpeas. Alexander swiftly peeled them as if they were clouds.
The 6 elite 10 made their choices too and started working on their soups.
Alexander, on the other hand, stewed the tomatoes then passed them through a food mill to make a puree; he discarded the skins and seeds to not make any unnecessary discomfort while eating.
Even though he still didn't make anything grand, a strong smell of vegetables ran around the hall as it seduced the students, it even pulled the judges from their chamber.
"umm~ this smell..." Anna came out with her face red. She was drinking with the Histoire and Charme earlier until they were summoned by the aroma. Her walking posture wasn't stable so she was walking like a zombie.
Histoire looked at Alexander with a serious expression, he had no time to enjoy the aroma, he has witnessed such skill before...The GodMother! Histoire had the opportunity to be at one of the restaurants where the godmother cooked once and he could smell such aroma spread in the room even without cooking anything really.
As if she was drawing the essence o every ingredient making them release their utmost flavor in the dish. 'Truly a remarkable skill' Histoire thought.
"Is he somehow related to the GodMother?" Charme questioned as he saw the resemblance there.
"You think so too?!" Histoire was surprised.
"Yeah--" Charme was about to speak further when another wave of heavy aroma crushed the arena. It was the smell of herbs.
Anna smelled this and looked at Alexander's station "This aroma and the previous one, by the steps he is following...he is definitely making that dish..." Anna despite being drunk was so serious.
"Yeah...The Moroccan Soup..." Charme smirked.
"To think he could enhance the flavor of such soup that is already rich and full of flavors to this extent...How magnificent!!!" Histoire was marveled. the judges walked to the seating area and sat down waiting for their turn to judge. But in truth, they just wanted to eat whatever Alexander was making...
