Third PoV

Akio was in his office room. Akio was standing in front of his desk and looked at it. There was a newspaper on Akio's desk. The newspaper talked about the transfer student, Soma Yukihira, and Ikumi Mito having a Shokugeki. Akio read it and laughed to himself.

"I wonder who will really win?" Akio questions himself. Akio looked at the newspaper again and wanted to know when the Shokugeki starts and what day. Akio had a shocked face and he turned around and walked out. He couldn't believe that he was late because the Shokugeki started today. Akio ran like his life was about to end.

~A While later~

Akio makes it to the Shokugeki and there he saw his sister, Erina. He panted trying to get his breathe. He dusted himself and went up to Erina.

"So..? What're you doing here, Nee-chan~?" Akio asked teasingly. Erina jumped a bit. "Akio, don't scare me like that." Erina glared at Akio a bit but then sigh. Akio laughs and followed Erina and Hisako. They went to the room above everyone and watched the Shokugeki from there. The students that were watching were asking things such as,

"Why's the Nakiri twins here?"

"It's probably because Mito's part of their fraction?"

"Yeah but is that the only reason why they're here?"

Akio can tell the students were saying this because they were all loud that Akio covered his ears. He was surprised that Erina wasn't effected by this. Akio looks down and saw Ikumi Mito.
He looked at his sister who was smiling at Ikumi, probably expecting her to win. He noticed that Ikumi was smiling because Erina was there.

Akio stops covering his ears and waved at Ikumi, smiling. This made Ikumi blush a bit and gave him a small wave back. Akio smiles for a little bit longer until the Shokugeki begins. When the Shokugeki began, Akio stops smiling and gave a serious face. He carefully watches both Ikumi and Yukihira. Watching the meat Ikumi was slicing, Akio sees Ikumi carefully treating the meat with care. Akio then looks at Yukihira and sees Yukhira taking out meat that was apparently on sale. Akio had a blank face. After a short pause, Akio starts to laugh.

'It would be surprise if he wins this Shokugeki with just that.' Akio thinks to himself. The crowd went crazy that they started to yell and shout at Yukihira. People even threw things at Yukihira. Akio sees Ikumi trying to taunt Yukihira. Erina explains to Hisako about Ikumi and what's her good point and stuff. Akio on the other hand just quietly watch everything happen. A while later, they have started judging. Seeing the judges reaction, Akio gets up from his seat and left the room. He went where the judges were at and for the judges, Akio seemed like he popped out of nowhere.

"Um.. May I have some?" Akio says trying to be innocent and cute to the judges.

Even though the judges knows they aren't allowed to do something like this, they gave a bowl to Akio. Akio takes a bite of Ikumi's dish. One bite and his eyes lighten up. Akio looked up at Ikumi, like a puppy trying to get the attention, and went up to her.

"It's yummy, Ikumi-chan." This made Ikumi blush and nodded.

Yukihira was done making his and gave his to the judges. Akio, like a good boy he was, waited for the judges to eat it first. But before Akio was going to ask Yukihira for a bowl, Yukihira gave one to Ikumi. Ikumi took a bite of it and then tears came out. She quickly ate Yukihira's food and when she was done, she wiped her tears. Akio raised his hand, making others look at him. Yukihira also sees this, knowing that Akio was probably trying to get Yukihira's attention, Yukihira asked, "Yeah? What do you need?" Akio brightens up and quickly went up to Yukihira.

"Do you still have some more?" Yukihira tilts his head, dumbfounded. 'That's all he wanted?'  Everyone had the same thought. Yukihira looks around as if trying to ask to get out of this situation. Akio notices and backs away.

"You know, if you don't have any, then you can just say so. Not like I want to eat it anyways..." Akio mumbles the last part looking away from Yukihira.

"Anyways, who wins?" Akio turns too the judges. That's when the votes were made.

0-3
Winner: Soma Yukihira

The Shokugeki was over with Soma Yukihira winning. Three judges voted for Soma Yukihira. Ikumi notices she had lost so she quickly look up to where Erina was originally at. Erina gets up from her seat and walks away, probably disappointed that Yukihira had won. Ikumi becomes sad but Yukihira tries to cheer her up. Akio looks at Yukihira and the people around him, all laughing. Akio felt a pain in his chest. Akio not knowing what it was ignored it and left. Right now is the end of the day for Akio. Akio goes back to the Nakiri Manor and went to his room. Akio gets ready to sleep and gets ready for the next day.

~Next Day Later~

The moment Akio wakes up, he feels this heavy feeling, as if he can't get up. 'Sleep paralysis?' Akio questions himself. But it wasn't. It was just Akio being lazy and not wanting to get up. Akio closes his eyes again trying to sleep. But just then, Hisako came in.

"Akio-sama. Erina-sama ordered me to wake you up. She said that she has something to discuss with you." Hisako says out loud so that Akio can wake up. Akio not liking loud noises when he first wakes up, gets a bit mad.

"Hisako~ You're too loud!! Let me sleep peacefully~" Akio whines and hides under his blankets. Hisako sighs, pulling the blankets off of Akio and neatly put his uniform next to him.

"Erina-sama needs to discuss something to you, Akio-sama." Hisako said as if demanding him to get up and if he doesn't he'll get a beating, in addition to that she glared at Akio. Akio gets up right away.

"Okay." Akio says as he pushes Hisako out of the room and starts to change. 'No matter how nice or mean they are, women are somewhat scary..' Akio thinks as he finishes up changing. When he's done changing, he went to the bathroom to look at himself. Seeing his hair, he tries fixing it but it keeps staying up so he left it. Akio splashes water on his face and then touched his ear. Akio sees his earring and touches it. Akio shakes his head, slapped his cheeks, and walks out of the bathroom, going to his sister. Akio meets up with Erina in her room and stood next to her. Akio breathing in and out slowly, ready to listen to Erina.

"What do you need, Nee-chan?" Akio asks. Erina took out a book and showed it to him. Akio took the book and read it. On the paper it says 'Friendship & Team-Building. Training Camp' Akio looks at it dumbfounded.

"What's this supposed to mean?" He looks up at Erina. Erina sighs.

"This is why I called you, you're sometimes late when it comes to things like this. This 'Training Camp' is what exactly what it says and it says friendship & team-building but in reality it's something that will eliminate you without any hesitation. I know that won't happen to you but be careful." Erina explains as she crosses her arms and turns her head. Akio nods slowly as if he understood what his sister said.

"I'm glad Nee-chan is worried about me~" Akio says as he sways side to side slowly like a flower slowly moving by the wind. Erina smirks at Akio.

"Don't play around Akio." Erina says as she warns him, this makes Akio chuckle, "Don't worry. I'm always serious when it comes to cooking."

Erina smiles. "We'll leave in 3 days. You may leave now." Erina says as if she tries to shoo Akio away. For Akio it felt so sudden that when he blinked he wasn't with Erina anymore. 'Did she just kicked me out?'  Akio thinks to himself. Akio shrugs and went to get ready for this so called Training Camp.

~3 Days Later~

There were a lot of buses and they were all heading to one place. All buses finally stopped at their destination. Everyone steps out and some were surprised about the place. Akio stretched his arms and breathe in the air but he breathe in so much air he coughed. Akio looking around hoping no one saw that and grabbed his bag. He sees Yukihira and his group of friends. 'Probably from his dorm.... Must be nice to have friends like that..' Akio thinks to himself as he feels this sad emotion coming over him. When he notices himself being sad, he immediately shook his head and slapped his cheeks. Then he walks into the hotel confidently.

A short while later, Akio goes into the Grand Ballroom. He notices how everyone here is quiet. Akio sits down on a chair and crossed his legs. 'I can feel the pressure from these people.... I can't stand it.' Akio stops crossing his legs and leans back and sighs. Then he heard Yukihira with Ikumi and man were they loud. Akio gets up from his seat and looks up at the stage. There Roland Chapelle told everyone the Totsuki Institute Alumni came for this day to judge their cooking. As he finishes, the Totsuki Institute Alumni that came, all lined up. Akio eyes shines and was happy that there were people he respected right in front of him. Then a certain pink hair spoke.

"You there? Ninth row from the front, the kid with the scar above the eye."

Yukihira pointed to himself.

"Ah, sorry. Not you, the one on your right."

A different boy pointed to himself.

"Yes, you. You're expelled. You can go home now."

At this point most people were shocked.

"Why!?" The boy asked, more like shouted back.

"Your hair-care product has a citrusy smell to it. That smell can overpower in your cooking. Fashion is an important ingredient. If the chef is unfashionable, the dishes is that less attractive. I suggest you use an unscented hair-care product in the future." This certain pink hair explains.

The boy angered yet shock said something, "E-expelled!? For that little thing!?"

The person gives the boy a glare. "This 'little thing' is enough to lose your customers. Are you trying to run my restaurant out of business?"

The boy got scared and stopped talking back.

"Good-bye little student." He waved his hand at the boy.

"That's chef Shinomiya! The first Japanese chef to be awarded France's Pluspol Award! There's F's chef Mizuhara and Hinowa's head chef, Sekimori!" Some kids were talking among themselves.

A girl with two braided hair was surprised but what was more surprising is that 2 Alumni went up to her. One of them was a blonde male and the other was a female with one braided hair. They were arguing because she was cute and they wanted her to go to their restaurant some day. This made the girl with two braided hair blush. The blonde male is named Donato Gotoda, he owns a restaurant called Tezoro, the female with one braided hair is named Hinako Inui, she owns a restaurant called Kirinoya. Akio watches them because of the attention they gave. Akio tries to remember who the girl with two braids was named, but couldn't because there were a lot of people with names so he couldn't remember who she was but he did remember reading something about her. Just then they were called back up to the stage. When they went back up, one of the Alumni stepped up. He gave a powerful aura around him. This made others scared but there were a few who felt like they have been blessed to see the Alumni standing in front of them. Akio mouth opened up a bit and his eyes sparkled. 'It's the Gin Dojima-senpai!' Akio felt extremely excited. Dojima starts to speak about how the Alumni were all here and how they try to find time for the students.

Dojima then says, "If you don't meet up with our standards then you're fired!" Dojima said some other things but Akio wasn't listen, instead he was excited about cooking. "That is all! Everyone, proceed to your groups!" That's when everyone starts to gather into their groups.

Akio was lost, not knowing where to go. Then Akio found where he was supposed to go. Coincident or not, he was in the same group with Soma Yukihira. He was partnered up with the same braided hair girl from last time. Akio sees a blonde hair kid and a brown hair kid together. 'Oh! I think I know them.. Um.. was it the Aladdin Brothers..? Wait.. the.. A..Aldi... Oh! The Aldlini Brothers! That's them.' Akio thinks to himself. Then he saw the blonde Aldini stepping on Yukihira's shoes, probably insulting Yukihira. The braided girl tried to make them stop fighting. Akio watches but didn't bother talking to them. Akio turns around and smirked. "This is what hell is? Seems fun and legit. Let this Hell start and see how much will survive." Akio says to himself as he smiles.

"Let the Hell begin."
