Chapter 423 - Hell's Training Camp (END)
POV Momo
"You know… there is a really interesting rumor going around… it seems that Yukihira Soma has challenged Shinomiya Kojiro to a Shokugeki
" Nat pointed out when we finally gathered in our room.
"Oh… is that so. That is really interesting… So what did that bastard do this time?
" I asked coldly… I don't like Shinomiya Kojiro, at all and that is saying something.
"Rumi found them before anything else and called everyone in her office… that is why the 2nd assignment was postponed for some time
" Nat said as plopped on my bed.
"Rumi simply sent him away and she also blacklisted him from Totsuki
" Luna's voice rang out from the balcony… Luna seemed to be drawing something in her art book.
"Enough about them… I don't want to waste any more of my time talking about the others
" Fleur grumbled as she sat down on a nearby chair.
"Guests incoming
" Jean's voice rang out from the kitchen… she was making some snacks for us and our guests… They already knew that I had invited some people.
Only after a few moments, I started to hear their footsteps as they approached my room.. The first ones to arrive were Alice and her aide Kurokiba Ryu…
"Hello everyone…!!
" Alice exclaimed as she entered the room.
Kurokiba Ryu entered the room followed by her while carrying a huge box.
"I brought some snacks and drinks
" Alice gushed out excitedly.
"Oh… let me help you Kurokiba-Kun
" Ororo said as she approached Kurokiba and took the box from his hand. Kurokiba simply handed her the box with a fearful look on his face.
"Ryu-Kun!! You are being bad. Strong boys should help out girls, not the other way around
" Alice started to scold Kurokiba.
"Hai, my lady
" Kurokiba said with a bored look on his face.
"Alice, you don't need to be so hard on him… it is completely fine. This box is pretty light
" Ororo said while chuckling as she carried the box towards the kitchen.
Before Alice could say anything more, Yuki knocked on the door… their group was already here. Ooh… Yukihira Soma is still here, which means Rumi had overturned Shinomiya Kojiro's decision.
"Momochi… you have no idea what happened today!!
" Yuki exclaimed as she jumped into my arms like a lost puppy. I received her in my arms with a smile on my face.
"Yes, I have heard, your friend here has challenged Shinomiya Kojiro to a Shokugeki
" I said calmly and Yuki looked at me with wide eyes.
"News travels really fast here… now, Momochi, let me introduce you to my dorm mates and I also want to know your friends too
" Yuki said as she pulled a red-haired girl in front of me.
"Meet Ryoko Sasaki… one of my best friends
" Yuki said as Ryoko waved at me.
"Hello nice to meet you, I have heard a lot about you
" I said with a smile… After that, we continued with the introductions.
All of us spent the rest of the night having a small party…
****************
The next day passed in a blur… none of the tasks were anything hard or complicated like the previous ones. The third day ended pretty quickly but that was until an unexpected announcement was made summoning us to the main hall.
By this time the news of Shinomiya Kojiro being blacklisted from Totsuki had spread throughout the Training Camp… there was simply no one who didn't know about that. Most of the Alumni were clearly indifferent.
When we finally gathered in the main hall, we found Dojima Gin was already there waiting for us.
"Now, you must be wondering why I have called all of you here… I won't be taking much of your time
" Dojima Gin said and took a small pause.
"Ladies and gentlemen, your next assignment is to create a new breakfast item befitting our guests here in Totsuki Resort. Breakfast is the face of our hotel, it is an important meal that represents the start of our guests' day
"
"It represents something that gives the table an air of invigorated radiance, something that can not be ignored or forgotten. Make a single dish, one that gives a sense of wonder for the day. Your main ingredient would be eggs
" Dojima Gin declared and a lot of students broke down in horror.
"Now, you can use any of our facilities but I hope that all of you finish quickly… now, you can go and sleep, I won't mind. Now, best of luck
" Dojima Gin said and left…
We simply released a sigh and decided to start working… The six of us stayed up the whole night working and perfecting our dish. All of us could go on without a single problem without sleep for a couple of days.
We thought that the assignment would be easy… it was easy, I am not going to lie but it wasn't easy for Fleur. Her dish wasn't suited for the buffet… Fleur had overlooked this small fact while creating the dish.
It wasn't a major problem but in this situation, the problem was devastating for Fleur. Her dish didn't seem to be appealing to the guests… she had to make some changes to her dish on the fly… she only finished serving 200 meals just before the deadline…
That was the hardship Luna had mentioned during the bus ride. Fleur came this close to failing… if she was late by a couple of minutes then she would have failed to complete the task.
The assignments after that breakfast assignment were pretty easy… yes, if we were normal humans then we would have been dead tired but since none of us were humans, we didn't face a problem in that department.
"So, I think this is going to be another task, right?
" Ororo asked as once again we made our way towards the main hall...
"Looks like they won't allow us to rest until the camp is finally over...
" Jean thought out loud.
"They might give us a task after we board the bus... that would be hilarious!!
" Nat exclaimed in an amused tone as the students around her shuddered in fear.
Today was the last day of the Training Camp and most of the students including us have thought that there won't be any more tasks... looks like all of us were wrong.
'But I don't think this is going to be a task... I have noticed that the Alumni were busy preparing ingredients, they were also discussing something about a menu' Nat's words rang throughout our minds.
'How do you know something like that?' I asked and Nat simply smirked.
'A real would never give away her secrets...' Nat proclaimed. That's reasonable, I guess.
We finally arrived in the main hall and I noticed that some of the students have already broken down in despair. Can't blame them... the Training Camp was very intense for most of the students.
My eyes scanned through the whole crowd as my gaze lingered on a few notable students. The first one was a silver-haired boy... Nat has told us that his name is Hayama Akira and he extremely sharp nose for a human.
Next was Nakiri Erina... she was pretty obvious as she was one of the Elite Ten Council members. The Nakiri Alice and Kurokiba Ryu... while cooking he became a completely different person and none of them had any problems in the training camp.
Then Yukihira Soma, he also breezed through the Training Camp with ease. And lastly the Aldini brothers... the two of them were pretty good too... Nat has already started collecting data on the good students as we would be facing them in the Autumn Elections.
There was another guy... Mimisaka Subaru. He was a certified stalker and creep... he was known for a skill called perfect profiling. He would stalk his prey until he can copy all of his actions perfectly... for his own sake, I hope he avoids stalking any of us.
Finally, Dojima Gin arrived with a mic in his hands.
"I appreciate that all of you gathered here on such a quick notice...
" after that Dojima Gin continued with a motivational speech.
By the end of the speech, most of the students were fired up...
"Now, the conclude the Training Camp, we have arranged a final task for all of you...
" Dojima Gin said and all the students who were previously motivated felt like they were being cheated.
The doors behind Dojima Gin opened with a loud bang as all the Alumni walked in carrying various dishes in their hands.
"The last task for you in the Training Camp is to lie back and enjoy a full course meal prepared by the Totsuki Alumni!!
" Dojima Gin exclaimed loudly as all of the students including us cheered loudly.
Just like that, the Training Camp ended in a blink of an eye… we learned a lot of things in the Training Camp while having a lot of fun with my sisters and friends. I am glad that we have decided to attend Totsuki or we would have missed all this fun…
