Fifty servings!

Sorry for the wait.

That sure took a while, girl!

Whoa! This is delish!

I can still eat more!

I'm glad they're all eating so much.

This has just the right amount of fat!

And the rice is nice and fluffy!

Delish, delish!

Delish, delish!

Keep bringin' it out!

Okay!

MEGUMI TADOKORO
30 DISHES REMAINING

I've gotta work harder!

THE SUPREME RECETTE

Sorry.

S- Soma Yukihira!

You okay, Nakiri?

You didn't twist anything?

Don't touch me!

I can stand up on my own!

What a blunder.

I let my guard down, thinking I was alone.

And it had to be him of all people.

Don't tell me he overheard me.

By the way, I heard you humming.

You're in a pretty good mood, huh?

Humming? Who, me?

I have no recollection of that!

He did overhear me!

Still, I understand why
you'd feel festive.

We're at a hot spring
and we're staying overnight.

Me, I even brought cards for
playing hanafuda and poker.

I'm not feeling festive!

Don't think you and I are the same!

It seems they call this
the "training camp from Hell,"

but to me it's just
a tedious, empty ceremony.

Still, I do wonder how long
it will take you to fail?

Watching that could
be mildly entertaining.

That's some talk...

for someone who was
just walking on cloud nine.

Erina-sama!

I'm sorry I'm late!

That took a little time--

S- Soma Yukihira!

What are you doing here, bastard?

Well, I put Nakiri on
the floor a minute ago.

FLOOR PIN

Wha...

Huh?

Don't say things that give the wrong idea!

There's nothing wrong about it.

It was totally like, boing.

Boing?

Y- you've got it wrong, Hisako!

Look, just hurry up and go away!

All right, fine.

Hot bath, hot bath! Splash, splash!

Um, are you really all right?

No problem.

You need to get in the bath as well.

Ma'am...

Oh, and I got these from the front desk.

Playing cards!

I don't do such frivolous things!

Um...

Huh? But earlier...

Say, Hisako, I wonder if
they have playing cards here?

Huh?

Playing cards.

You want to play cards?

It only takes two people, right?

Yes, you're right.

I'll ask at the front desk.

...Is what you said.

I said no such thing.

Um, is something the matter?

Nothing at all!

Jeez, I swear. What's with that girl?

As always, I just don't get her!

Well, whatever.

I'm gonna take a long soak in the bath.

The first soak is mine!

GIN DOJIMA, TOHTSUKI RESORTS EXECUTIVE
CHEF & MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Wh- wha...

The first one's already here?

My apologies.

Stretching out in the bath
is part of my daily routine.

In that instant, Soma had this thought.

Scary!

Quite unusual for him.

But it only lasted a moment.

Aw, man, I was all happy thinking
I'd be the first one in the bath.

What a bummer!

Sorry about that.

Still, you're the first one among
the students, so be satisfied with that.

We've produced a talented student
both this year and last, huh?

Last year?

The fifty-serving challenge is held
in different kitchens simultaneously.

It's clear to see who
will be the first to finish.

Every year, I'm sure to get out of
the bath before the students come,

but last year,

there was another who came here
having finished up quickly.

He's the current No. 7 chair
on the Tohtsuki Council of Ten.

It was someone I know?

He was quite a tough character as well.

That's Isshiki-senpai all right.

Huh?

Hold on.

That means...

she made her fifty servings
faster than me?

Clearing the challenge
fast isn't everything,

but it definitely showcases your skill.

Thank you very much.

Ma'am.

Ah, Hisako!

Sure enough...

Me, I even brought cards for playing
hanafuda and poker.

Sure enough, I don't need those.

Okay...

Erina Nakiri...

Granddaughter of the director
of Tohtsuki Academy.

The God Tongue.

She's driven the Academy's top instructors
since she was a baby.

So-so.

She would eat only
the most refined baby foods.

As a child, she tasted multiple
varieties of salt blindfolded...

Shodoshima, Kagawa Prefecture.

Noto Peninsula, Ishikawa Prefecture.

Kuroshio, Kochi Prefecture.

...and identified all
their production areas.

There's no end to the stories that prove
why she's been called the God Tongue.

Still, the fact she became
the youngest member of the Ten

shows that her talents are
backed up by genuine skill.

If all goes well, she'll become a monster,

the greatest masterpiece
in Tohtsuki Academy's history.

Still, in any case,
she's still just raw material.

An inhuman, demonic realm where

those of talent are gathered
only to eat one another...

That's Tohtsuki.

It's a long way down at this academy.

Sharpen your fangs, young man!

'Sir!

Yukihira, you beat me this round,

but next time will be a different--

Ch- Chef Dojima!

Well, I've been here a while.

I should get going.

In any case, your stay here
has only just started.

You need to take good care of your body.

Do your best tomorrow, too.

Thanks, Dojima-senpai.

Do you know who that was?

Yup, Dojima-senpai, right?

Yes, but...

No, that's not it!

What're you doing just happily
shaking his hand, Yukihira?

Yukihira?

I've heard that name somewhere...

Man, I'm so tired after
that fifty-serving challenge!

I'm glad we all made it, though.

This will go on for
another four days, huh?

They weren't kidding about
"training camp from Hell."

Still, now that we're in the bath,

it kinda makes you want
to try hard again, right?

You brought that with you?

Well, I thought I'd let him
go on a trip, too.

In any case...

Wh- what?

You're as grandiose as ever, aren't you?

Well, Lord Sakaki?

Maybe all that malted rice
has had an effect.

You too, Megumi?

Don't stare like that!

Oh! He is on a trip.

I swear, you little devil.

Now then!

What do you say we get going?

Back to our room that normally
costs over $800 a night!

YUKI YOSHINO
HAIR-DOWN VERSION

Megumi, why don't you lie down on it, too?

This is so upscale, it's like fate
would punish me if I did!

Luxurious... Top-quality...

Yuki, that's undignified.

I know you're happy, but still.

Um, hey...

Oh, Marui-kun, have
you gotten a little skinnier?

Have I?

Then please listen to the skinnier me.

Let's just call it a night
and rest up for tomorrow.

Yo, yo! We're here!

Let's have fun!

Why do you always get together in my room?

All right!

What're we doing? What're we doing?

A 100-round game of Rich Man, Poor Man!

A- all right, it's on!

2 minutes, 51 seconds?

Their tiredness caught up
to them all at once, huh?

Well, I guess we'll leave them
till it's time for lights out.

You're not tired yet, Megumi?

That's unusual.

You always go to bed early.

It is strange, huh?

I'm tired, but I'm not sleepy.

Well, it was a pretty
stressful day, right?

Yes, but I don't think that's all.

I'm always so nervous in our lessons...

If I mess something up, I get
so worried about what I should do.

But today, you were there
to support me, Soma-kun.

You're welcome, Ma'am!

I feel like I've gotten a little...

just a little more confident.

It's making my heart pound.

Uh, but hold on!

It's 'cause Soma told me what I should do.

I ain't tryin' to put on airs!

You got it all wrong.

If you hadn't gotten those ingredients,

we couldn't have made that dish.

And you prepared 'em perfectly.

That's right.

When you put your mind to it,
look what you can do.

You should be more confident.

Okay?

Sixteen cups!

Whoa...

Wow!

High-speed revolution!

I want to try that, too!

There is it! There it is!

-I want to spend more time with everyone.
-Let me try. Let me try!

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT CHARM

I want to get better at cooking.

I...

I'll do my best.

You're out.

DAY 2 OF TRAINING - 9:00 AM

Good morning.

I'm Shinomiya from Tohtsuki's
79th graduating class.

In this challenge,

you will make a dish of my choosing.

You've been given your recette, yes?

This is the worst!

We had to get Shinomiya?

They say he sent more than
thirty people home yesterday.

What's more, the theme is making
a recipe he thought of himself!

A terrine with nine types of vegetables.

The multitude of vegetables gives it
a beautiful, vibrant appearance.

Each of the nine varieties requires
different preparation and heating methods.

None of the vegetables' flavors can be
overpowering or underwhelming.

Weaving those flavors together
is an extremely difficult task.

I chose one of
my relatively easier recettes.

Would you have preferred
a more difficult dish?

-Dammit!
-I totally wanna punch him!

"Recette"?

It means "recipe."

Ah!

Also...

in this challenge,
you will not work in pairs.

You'll each make your own dishes.

While cooking, any exchange of tips
or information is forbidden.

You're free to choose any ingredients

from the stacks there in
the rear of the kitchen.

Also, let me give you a piece of advice:

It would be prudent for you...

to consider everyone around you an enemy.

You have three hours.

Now then...

Begin.

That hurts! Move!

Shut the hell up! I'll kill you!

You're in the way, dammit!

Everyone is out for blood.

The tension level
is even higher than yesterday.

But I can't get scared.

I'm not gonna lose!

Good.

Good!

Good.

Um...

This one!

I'm getting started pretty late, though.

Next, if there's any cauliflower...

This one, and this one, and this one!

They're all in bad shape.

The only ones left have started oxidizing
and their color is muddied!

If I try to cook them like this,

they'll foam up and
the color will get even worse,

making the terrine lose its visual appeal!

Wh- what should I do?

Soma-ku--

While cooking, any exchange of tips
or information is forbidden.

That's no good.

I can't just rely on Soma-kun.

It's no good!

I have to clear this on my own!

What can preserve the cauliflower's color?

That's it!

Hey, isn't that different
from the recette?

Oh, is it?

You two...

I told you not to exchange
any tips or information.

Did you not hear me?

Th- that's not what that was just now!

That's right.

He was telling me I made
a little mistake, that's all.

And that is called a "tip."

You fail.

You're both out.

Make it again!

You're out. See you.

C- come on!

I'll... I'll make it again!

Do you have the ingredients?

You have neither ingredients nor time.

If you're telling me
you can make it regardless,

you can pull off
even better magic than me.

You're out.

You're out.

I'm Soma Yukihira.

Huh...

You pass.

All done!

My nine-vegetable terrine!

It's already time.

So, you're the last one.

I- I'm Megumi Tadokoro.

It's an honor.

Megumi Tadokoro...

You're out.

That concludes the challenge.

Those of you who passed,

prepare for your afternoon challenge.

U- um!

Why?

Why was my dish no good?

Ah, your cauliflower was a little off,

so you used wine vinegar
when you boiled it, right?

Vinegar acts as a bleaching agent,
so it preserved the color nicely.

The aftertaste of the vinegar accentuated
the sweetness of the cauliflower.

The vegetables' sweetness and
the slight acidity of the vinegar

were a perfect match, flavor-wise.

So... so then why?

Who said you were free
to stray from the recette?

This menu item

is intended to let one enjoy the harmony
of the vegetables' sweetness.

Was there anything in the recette
that said to accentuate acidity?

What you made was
practically a different dish.

If you put out a dish not in
accordance with the challenge,

then of course you fail.

You satisfied now?

I'm not satisfied.

That was out of her control, right?

Because you had produce in there
that had already started to turn.

Throughout these challenges, we're being
treated as if we're your employees, right?

That being so, the responsibility
for inventory control

lies at the top, with you,
Shinomiya-senpai.

In this case,

I'd say the fault lies with the chef--

You little brat.

Do you know who you're talking to?

Well?

It seems you don't, so I'll tell you this.

I purposefully included
some substandard cauliflower...

to reduce the number of those who pass!

Cauliflower is an ingredient
that has the "triple threat"

of being prone to oxidation, bruising
easily, and being difficult to cook.

Those fools who lost their cool and

failed to be a good judge of
quality have all washed out,

as well as the dullards who started late
and didn't secure good product.

Look, that's why Tadokoro came up with a
great idea to make up for lost time and--

I am the chef.

I can't let some pissant go messing
with the recette I made, can I?

Listen up, pissant.

If you're going to keep
fighting me on this,

should I use my rights as chef
to cut you loose, too?

-What was that?
-Soma-kun, that's enough!

It's all right.

This'll get you expelled, too.

Okay? So, that's--

What?

How can you say that at a time like this?

It's all right.

Don't worry about me anymore.

Shinomiya-senpai, excuse me.

There's just one more thing.

What is it, Monsieur Yukihira?

You have another complaint?

Well, not so much
a complaint as a question.

Does that rule at Tohtsuki

still apply after you've graduated?

What are you talking about?

The Food War...

FOOD WAR

If I beat you in a Food War,

will you take back your decision
to expel Tadokoro?
