Animes watching their own universe

Chapter 25: Food Wars! --The Godfather Speaks of Diamonds --

"Okay everyone are we ready to see another viewing of Food Wars," said Mira.

"Yes. I want to know how he got into the school even thought Erina here said that he failed the exam," said Aizawa.

"I also want to know how that happened," said Akashi.

"Do you think that maybe the dean of the school over ruled Erina's decision to fail Soma," said Karma.

"You will learn about your questions in this viewing I promise so are we ready to watch," said Mira.

[--The Godfather Speaks of Diamonds--
~A little over a month after the exam...April~
"We will now present the class insignia first-year representative...Erina Nakiri."
"Ma'am," said Erina.
~Totsuki Saryo Culinary Institute High School first years' entrance ceremony~
"Aaah, miss Erina is as elegant as usual today."
"Beautiful and class valedictorian! She's the perfect elite!"
"I heard she took top marks by a mile in all of the advancement tests to get in here."
"One date with her and I could die a happy man!"
"Shh! Don't say stuff like that, you idiot! You'll get erased!"
"And not for the dean's address."
"You do realize you're talking about the granddaughter...of the undisputed don of the food mafia!"
<Senzaeman Nakiri: Dean of the Totsuki Saryo Culinary Institute>
'Oh god, he's scary!'
'He's the incarnation of power not only in the Totsuki Institute, but in Japan's entire culinary world!!'
'He's not some lowly don....'
'He's a godfather!'
'The gastric godfather!']

"So we are at the beginning of your school year," said All Might.

"Yep," said Soma.

"I have to wonder if any of you had heard any of those students," said Ukai.

"Not really. I think they were whispering all of that," said Erina.

["Everyone. Congratulations on you advancement to high school...In your three years of junior high schooling...you have learned cooking fundamentals and gained an understanding of food. You have had hands on culinary training as well as classroom learning on various subjects such as...culinary science...dietaries...public health. Studies...horticulture...management...now, all of you stand on the threshold of your high school careers. However, here we will not be testing knowledge or technique. We test nothing less than your strength of will to be a chef. Children, 99 percent of you...are nothing but common rocks. You exist solely to grind to perfection the 1 percent of you who are diamonds!" said the dean.]

"So you school is like ours. Wanting the best out of each person there," said Aizawa.

"That's correct," said the dean.

["Last year's freshmen class numbered 812. Of them, the total number who survived to reach their second year...was only 76. The worthless and the average are ruthlessly expunged. 1,000 will start the journey of the first year...those who reach their second year will number but 100. And the ones who survive all the way to graduation? Those you might count on one hand. You are here...to become one of that elite handful! Devote yourself. Body and soul. That is all!" said the dean.
'Here is the true power of the Totsuki brand name. This ruthless, complete competition to create on elite chosen few,' thought Erina.]

"Well damn that a very low number of students passing," said Dabi.

"You also got to remember Dabi that this school producing world class chefs," said AFO.

"That is very true," said Joeichiro.

['Simply attending is a mark of prestige for any chef. But clawing your way to graduation guarantees a lifetime of culinary stardom. To be honest, I pity those of you who are the same age as I...because you have been condemned since birth to compete for second place. The only one who will reach the pinnacle of the Totsuki Institute and by extension the whole Japanese culinary world...is me, Erina Nakiri!' thought Erina.
"In closing...a few word's from a students representative of this year's transfer class."
"Ah, there must have been transfer exams other than mine. Hmph! Simply thinking about him irritates me. Ah well," said Erina.
"Wow, uh...it's real high up here, ain't it. Aha ha...so, um, a keystone address? Me? Geez, do I have to? I always feel awkward up on stage...," said Soma.
"Hurry up and give your speech!"
'It isn't as if we'll ever meet again,' thought Erina.
"Okay, okay. I'll keep it brief then," said Soma.]

"So you didn't know that Soma was going to be there," said Akashi.

"No I didn't. I thought that I wouldn't have seen him again," said Erina.

"So, how did he end up in the school if he failed the test to get in," said Mikey.

"Maybe we will learn that in a few," said Mitsuya.

["Uh, hi. My name's Soma Yukihira. To be perfectly honest...this institute is nothing but a stepping-stone to me. It was a big a shock to me as anyone that I actually got in here...but I've got no intention of losing to a pack of noobs who've never cooked for customers before. So now that I'm in...I'll be taking the top spot. Oh! I hope we all get along for the next three years," said Soma.]

"Haha you just declared war. You realize that right," said Baji.

"Yeah but also all they've ever done except for a few have never worked in a kitchen or restaurant setting," said Soma.

["You jerk!"
"I'm gonna kill you, you stupid transfer student!"
"Whew! I didn't stutter at all. Oh, hey! You're from that test! Eri-something or...other, right? Man, was I nervous! I've never had much to do with ceremonies and stuff. How'd I look? I wasn't too weird, was I?" said Soma.
"Who cares about that?! What are you doing here, Yukihira?!" said Erina.
"Huh? What do you mean? Why wouldn't I be here? I got the notification of acceptance in the mail. You really had me going there for a minute, saying my food was "disgusting" and stuff. If you liked it, you should've just said so!" said Soma.
"N-no!" said Erina.
'No! This can't be! I kicked him out!' thought Erina.
"Just so you know...I'm not accepting any of this! Not you...or your inferior cooking!" said Erina.]

"I except nothing less from my son," said Joeichiro.

"Mikey would be the same way with fighting," said Draken.

["Huh?" said Soma.
"This was clearly a mistake. You obviously only got accepted here due to some clerical error. You're going to "take the top spot"? Ha! Don't make me laugh. Every student here was part of the institute's junior high program. Everyone of them has spent three years getting a cutting-edge education in gastronomy! But you! Some outsider from a normal school? You aren't even worthy of looking at the top. You won't be able to beat a single any of them," said Erina.
"A whole three years in junior high, eh?" said Soma.
"What?" said Erina.
"I first picked up a knife when I was three years old. Twelve years! I've spent my whole life in the kitchen! You called my food "disgusting," and I can't ignore that. It's the same as smearing mud on the good name of my family's restaurant. So look forward to this. Some day I'll make say loud and clear that you think my food is good," said Soma.]

"You know Soma is right there," said Joeichiro.

"Oh, how so," asked Riko.

"It's about you experience in the actual kitchen. Culinary school does help some but you also need practical experience as well," said Joeichiro.

["Even if it takes...the best my cooking has to offer," said Soma.
<Megumi Tadokaro (15) passed the institute high school advancement exam in last place.>
'I can't take anymore. I'm a rock. The number one most common rock too. Even after how hard I worked to make it into the high school. But I can't just give up. Everyone in the village helped me here. I have to do it for them! I'm already clinging to the very bottom ranks. I have to be careful, quit...not draw the wrong kind of attention, like that transfer student did! Yeah! No matter what...I have to stay as far away from that transfer student as possible!" thought Megumi.
"Good. Has everyone now paired up according to the lot drawn? This will be your partner for preparing today's recipe," said the teacher.
"Aieee!" thought Megumi.]

"Don't be so down on yourself. You never know how will you'll actually be until you try," said Koro-Sensei.

"That's true. I mean look at all of us students. None of us are perfect," said Nagisa.

"It's true. I didn't figure out about my passing ability right away," said Kuroko.

"Thank you everyone, I'll remember that," said Megumi.

"Alright we'll take a ten minute break and go onto the Demon Slayer viewing after wards," said Mira.
