Bab 45: Advancement Exams
The situation was tense as Soma glared hard at Suzuki
"Soma-kun, stop!" Megumi tried to reason with him "he's just playing with you!"
"I'm afraid not, Tadokoro-san" Suzuki said with a smirk "so what do you say, Yukihira Soma? Up for the Shokugeki?"
"fine then," Soma said unwrapping his headband from his hand and wrapping it around his forehead "if it's a Shokugeki you want, then I'll give it to you"
The two instantly started cooking as Soma gathered his ingredients and Erina could see that Soma was going to cook Loin Katsu
"he's going to cut the meat with some spices and then fry it with some vegetable oils" Erina noted as she and Megumi watched the two cooks
Megumi looks to Suzuki's cooking as she was surprised to see him cooking the same dish as Soma
"he's making the same dish as Soma-kun?!" Megumi looks in surprise
They watched as they cook before long Soma and Suzuki finished making their dish
"Please try it, princesses," Suzuki said with a pick-up line to Erina and Megumi
Soma got annoyed by his words as the thought of him with Erina makes him angrier
Erina and Megumi tasted his dish and then Soma's before Erina came with a verdict
"h-his dish was more delicious!?" Megumi said after tasting Suzuki's dish
Soma looks to Erina as she was nodding in agreement
"I think this should settle who is the winner and who is the loser, right?" Suzuki asked Soma who tasted Suzuki's dish and slammed his fist to the counter
"Again," Soma said as he glared hard at Suzuki before he felt Erina's hand on his shoulder
He looks to her and sees her shaking her head. Soma felt his body relaxed as he pulls away from his fist
"another Shokugeki again, Yukihira?" Suzuki asked Soma who shook his head
"no….i'm not," Soma said leaving away "you win"
"Really now? And I thought that you were the type to never give up" Suzuki said
Soma stopped for a moment before walking away as Erina followed him
Megumi bowed to Suzuki before she leaves the classroom and followed Soma and Erina
Asahi chuckles as he picks up a knife that looks a lot similar to Joichiro's
Soma was at Erina's office as the man had a cold towel over his head
"you shouldn't let your anger get to you, Soma" Erina said to him as Soma was huffing his breathing
"Yeah….sorry" Soma told her as he wipes off some sweat on his forehead "it's just that…..he was talking about taking you as his wife and that made me…"
"jealous?" Erina said as Soma nodded with embarrassment filing his face
Erina sighs before smiling as she lifted up Soma's face and gave him a kiss on the forehead
"don't worry…. I will only choose you," Erina said as this made Soma smile a bit
Erina ruffles his redhair before pulling him into a hug
A few days then passed after the Shokugeki with Suzuki, Soma was at Erina's office and helping her out with her paperwork with Hisako as well
Knock knock
The door got knocked as this made Soma a bit annoyed before going to the door and opening it as it was Suzuki
"go away," Soma said with seeping anger coloring his aura around him
"I am here for princess Erina," he said as he walks pass Soma while holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands
"I said go away, didn't I?" Soma said with a very pissed face
"and I said that I'm here for Princess Erina," he said as a rivalry spark flown between the two
Hisako and Erina sighs as this has been happening daily
Suzuki would always come with a bouquet of flowers and tried to hit on Erina but Soma always comes and kicks him out of the office
"one of these days, Yukihira might lose it," Hisako said as the redhead's boiling point was reaching to its peak
"he is still childish," Erina said with a bit disappointment to Soma
"Erina is busy with her work today," Soma said as he butts heads with Suzuki "mind going away so she can do it in peace?"
"But why are you allowed to be here? I'm a lecturer while you're just a student" Suzuki said in reply
"I'm the First Seat of the Elite Ten, and I'm her boyfriend," Soma said to him "doesn't it make sense that I'm supposed to help her in her work?"
The two argued against each other before Erina called Security to break them off as usual
"This is getting tiring," Erina said while holding her head as she was having a major headache
Soma grumbles as he sits on the couch while being surrounded by the Polar Star Residents and the other Elite Ten members
Soma was at his room as he was in the middle of polishing his knives
He lifted up his black knife as he can see the edge of the blade got nicked
Soma gritted his teeth before he started to polish it on his grindstone
"I will take Nakiri Erina as my wife" Suzuki's words rang into his head as this made Soma angry even more
He polished his knife so fast before he got a cut on his finger
Soma sucks on it before he grabs a band-aid and places it on the cut
"damnit it all" Soma cursed before he stashed away his knife into his suitcase and sighs
"that guy….." Soma imagined Suzuki's image in his head before he slammed his fist on the floor "…is going to pay!"
Soma stands up and leaves his room and slammed the door hard
As the door slammed hard upon the frame, a piece of paper fell off of Soma's desk as it was a notice paper
"final advancement exam of Second Year Student"
"Location of Exam"
