Flashback

(Chapter 6) Sena smiles "What I'm saying is that you need to learn to fail before you succeed. It is only through failure can you truly learn. It is how we gain wisdom, through experience….it one of the reasons why I know how to cook blindly…do you get what I'm saying? Admit to your failures and face it so you can move on to becoming a great chef…and…I believe you can be a world class chef, the only thing that's blocking you is your confidence." Sena finishes her advice with a smile.

Tadokoro replies "Thank You." With a smile.

Isshiki asks "Sena-chan, how did you learn to cook blindly?"

Sena softens her eyes with a hint of sadness "I was in a car accident when I was three. During the accident it damaged my eyes, so my dad had to perform a surgery to gain back my vision, but you see it was 20% success rate. After the surgery, I had many treatments…but I had to cover my eyes with wraps. Still…I cooked even though I was blind for 3 years, I was able to cook without seeing." She vaguely tell them and stretches "well…that's that…I'm gonna go take a bath" goes back upstairs.

Isshiki and Tadokoro looks confused at her answer and looks at Joichirou for further explanation. Joichirou sighs and tells them to sit down. They make a promise they will never tell a soul or treat Sena any different than they are now. He told them her history, except telling her past and current with Ouhaku Private Academy; he just told them her past with cooking. Isshiki and Tadokoro could only gasp at the story Joichirou was telling them.

Isshiki himself was astonished at the story and could only say "so she has the ability to defeat the current first seat of the Elite Ten?! And she wasn't holding back a little but holding back her entire skill."

Tadokoro gaps as well "Her palate makes God Tongue like child's play?!"

Both too shock to say anything. Fumio asks "why doesn't she actually challenge for the seat in the Elite Ten? I'm pretty sure it'll be a cinch for her. She co-" she was cut off "because I'm not the type of person who cares about status" Sena replies.

Gin, Isshiki, Tadokoro, and Fumio quickly turns around to see who it was, Sena in a soft peach pink loose maxi dress that hugs her waist with matching ballet shoes. Her hair tied loosely sideways on her shoulders.

Sena takes a seat "I don't want pity from people which is the only reason why I never told anyone, whenever someone finds out about my past, they start looking at me differently" she tells them as she notices them looking at her with pity.

Tadokoro quickly tells her "We would never pity you!" Isshiki nods to her answer.

Sena gives them a look "You can say all you want but I can see it in your eyes" They look down, she continues "like I was saying, I'm not interested in status, I could challenge the first seat and possibly win, but I was never interested. I'm more interested in gaining knowledge and use it in my cooking. When I challenged Isshiki-senpai, I never wanted his seat, I just wanted to learn from him since Shokugekis allowed anything."

Everyone raises their eyebrows except Joichirou who just smirks at her comment. Doujima interrupts "so the whole point of challenging Shinomiya was to learn from him?" he asks
