97 Tomorrow is the day

In Saitama's branch of the Red Cloud, another day greeted the restaurant as the open sign was revealed.

Inside the restaurant, in the kitchen. Alexander was looking at the new staff. After a long speech of the things he had noticed and made them feel like the miserable idiots they were, he made sure to give them a few pieces of advice in the kitchen and how to handle the customers when their food is delayed.

Strangely, the bunch of seven didn't complain and just kept nodding their heads.

"Alright...!" Alexander shrugged his shoulders "Tomorrow we will see if you guys can apply what I have just told you."

"Yes, chef!!" They all said that except Elias who just nodded

"But keep in mind..." Said Alexander, they were far from being done "If you failed to follow my family instructions you will be punished and based on your actions ... Your weekly salary will be cut short." Alexander left them with that while he laughed.

"Wait!! That is not fair!" Yelled Elias

"Why should our salary be cut if you're punishing us!!" Lala added in a hot-blooded manner, she felt angry that her precious salary will be cut off.

The others joined too and voiced their complaints.

But with just one glare from Alexander's maniac like eyes, they all shut up feeling a little afraid

Alexander knows that these guys will be a pain in the ass, but he can't wait for tomorrow as he knows that will be a lot of fun for him

'Just you wait, kukuku~!' For once in his life, he felt nostalgic, as if he did this before. Teaching someone in the kitchen is very exciting...And also, nerve-wracking.

Alexander spent his night in a nearby hotel, Vlad stayed with him and played a few games with Alexander to pass the time.

The next day, Alexander was early and headed to the restaurant where he waited for the other to come. After a few minutes, they all came one after the other on time. Alexander looked at his watch and smiled approvingly.

"This is the breakfast time, check our stock of the eggs, milk, bread, tea...etc." Ordered Alexander. Lala was the one to do so

"Heat the ovens, check if every equipment is in place."

"Everything is in place." Said Raj

"Alright, the new wave of customers is on the way!!" Alexander clapped his hand and a dozen customers going to work in their suits entered while looking in a rush.

Yachiyo ran to them to get the orders. Alexander saw her and started trembling 'I just told her yesterday to never leave the menu behind her!!' he thought.

When Yachiyo turned with a worried face, Alexander was in front of her as he shoved the menu on her face "That's one for you." he said with a terrifying low voice

"I..I am sorry!" Yachiyo felt like crying, her clumsy and forgetting personality kicks in whenever she is working.

She ran between the customers and got the orders, she passed them to Alexander who opened the kitchen door

"3 Eggs Benedict, 1 Omelette Florentine, 4 Steamed rice, and one Miso Soup!!" shouted Alexander.

Elias as the sous chef repeated Alexander's words, the 6 chefs started running around the kitchen in coordination.

Alexander stood to the side observing them 'Raj is slow in moving and he tends to pump into his co-workers which results sometimes in them dropping their tools or messing something up' he thought.

'Boris is a good chef, his body is agile around the kitchen and he can cook very well, the only problem is that he isn't used to working with teams, after all, he was just a stall owner.'

Alexander's eyes shifted between the chefs as they worked. Irumi Kanzaki this kitchen's saucier chef, he was into his own world while making the sauces for several side dishes. Alexander was sure that he would be the one to cause trouble the first, but he was just too calm.

Next was Lala, with her experience, she is a capable chef, her only problem is...

"Fucking fatty!! don't you dare pump into me again!" Lala was holding a knife to Raj's face while Boris is holding her back.

"HEY!!" Alexander got between them "CRAZY RETARD!! GO BACK TO YOUR STATION AND FINISH BAKING THAT FUCKING BREAD!!" Alexander wasn't willing to have any of her shit right now.

"But he..."

"I DON'T CARE!!" Alexander's eyes were glowing under the light of the kitchen while being covered by the shadow of his hair

Lala felt a little scared, she just mumbled under her breath as she returned to her station.

"Raj, next time if you want something tell Boris to pass it to you." Said Alexander. Raj was sweating from nervousness, he was thankful to Alexander for helping him for his kindness

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME FOR?!! GO BACK TO YOUR STATION!!"

Alright, maybe he wasn't that kind, thought Raj.

On the other side of the kitchen, Elias took a bite of one of the dishes that were ready to be served while looking at the skirmish in front of him "...Bloody hell!" he said.

The first wave of the customers left satisfied as Alexander was in charge of pre-tasting the dishes before they were served. After the intense work on the breakfast time, the restaurant became empty for a while until lunchtime.

Alexander gathered the chefs again.

"Good job everyone, I can say this was an average work by you." Alexander nodded with a smile but the chefs weren't smiling due to being called average. No matter what they still have pride in their cooking but they chose to shut up.

"First, Raj. You should work more with Boris, the two of you are a good team. From now on, you two will work together at the Pizza, Grill, and appetizer stations."

"Yes, chef." Said Raj and Boris, the two worked with each other and hit off on a really good start, Raj is really good chef since he used to work in a restaurant before so Boris could learn from him while he himself can pick up a few things on how to move in a closed environment in a fast way from Boris.

"Next, Lala...Your weekly salary is cut off by 15 ℅."

"WHAT?!!" Shouted Lala, her red eyes shone as her holy money is being threatened "You can't do that!!"

"20%," Alexander said. Lala felt so frustrated and unfair

"You can't do that!!"

"You talk back to me again and I will fire you," Alexander smirked coldly at her giving her the chills.

"Next is Elias...Your weekly salary is cut off by 75%"

"WHAT IN THE SWEET SEVEN SEAS IS THAT FOR?!!" Elias Shouted, what did he just do to deserve such punishment. "I CANNOT ACCEPT SUCH SITUATION!!!"

"You moron, do you really think I didn't see you eat some of the ready food before it was served. Are you that hungry, you dog!" Alexander walked closely to Elias and talked in his ear "When I looked at you, I saw a pig, a pig who was eating whatever was on a plate."

Elias trembled in rage, he was never insulted like this in his life "I was just pre-tasting the dishes to make sure they are okay." he said.

"That is my job to do, not yours, sous chef."

Lala who was angry at Alexander earlier was trying her hardest to not break out laughing, even Amai Anna, the Poissonnier of this kitchen felt like laughing as she saw that Elias was just taking advantage of his position 'You get what you deserve'.

Alexander ended the conversation there as they needed to prepare for the launch wave as it will be very busy from there until dinner.

The day went up and down but mostly good, Lala was being threatened by her holy salary while Elias stopped his habit and started working seriously.

The situation went like this for another three days with some small problems that Alexander made his sous chef Elias take care of, after all, Alexander won't stay here forever. He made sure he gives everyone tips that they should follow when working and them being quick to learn and some fear of losing salary made things very easy.

Also, some of the genuine compliments from Alexander stuck out to them and felt good for themself that they actually realized he is doing this for them, for their sake and not for anyone else.

'Maybe he isn't a bad person after all.' Some of them thought

'He is still scary!!' while others couldn't shake the feelings of fear when he is angry, especially Lala, her holy salary was on the line each time he got angry at her.

In the hotel Room, Alexander was in his bed recalling what he had been with the 6 chefs and the waiter girl.

"I do think they're ready, for the last day, a group of the Red Cloud examiners will come to visit and based on them, it will be decided if I had succeeded in instructing them or not, if not I will be fired and all my rights to be a chef will b lost."

Alexander was nervous, he doesn't like to put his fate in someone else's hands, especially someone who wasn't any good for about three days.

Alexander's week as a stagier at the Red Cloud will be over by tomorrow.

'I counting on you, idiots!!' He screamed internally.
