Souma hummed, as he looked at the board for a research society. He skimmed past a bunch, and saw a poster reading: Don RS! Join today, and help create more don recipes, while experiencing the science of don! Souma smiled, as Megumi, his shy friend, trotted up to him. "S-so Souma-kun. Which one are you-" Souma interrupted, grinning at her. "Don RS." He said happily, as he took a flyer and tried to find the room.

Souma opened the door to find a man with alarmingly large hair shaking and sobbing. Souma looked around. "Are you the only one here?" He asked.

The man looked up, still shaking. "Who are y-" a light of recognition shined in his eyes. "Of course. The new kid. What are you doing here?" He asked. "I'm joining. Simple." Souma replied. The man held cradled his face. "This Research Society must come to an end!" He said, dramatically. "W-w-why?!" Megumi said, tears filling her eyes. "Nakumi is having a Shokugeki with me!" He said.

Megumi quickly informed Souma what a shokugeki was. "Woah! That's pretty cool!" Souma said. The man looked at him. "I CAN'T WIN! NAKIRI ERINA LET HER INTO HER INNER CIRCLE FOR A REASON, YOU KNOW!" The man screamed. "She beats everyone! If I lose, she can take down the Don RS building! All of my fellow members have left me!" The man said, returning to sobbing. Souma's dim brain suddenly generated a dim idea. "I know! I'll do it for you!" Souma said.

The man's jaw dropped, and he quickly hid behind a chair as the girl known as Nakumi walked in, inspectors behind her. "What are you doing here?" I asked her. "Measuring things, preparing this dump to be replaced by a grand kitchen and testing quarters." She replied. "What makes you so sure that I won't beat you in a shokugeki?" I asked carefully.

Nakumi raised an eyebrow and laughed. "I doubt it. I assume "Big Hair" over there has already told you the theme and time. See you." She said, waving her hand. She turned back around. "Oh, and one last thing. If you lose, you'll get expelled." Souma rubbed his hands together, an evil smile playing against his lips.

He walked to the door, about to leave, before Megumi asked him where he was going. Souma put his signature white bandana on. "To the testing quarters. Wanna come watch?" He asked. Megumi nodded, as they hurried to the testing quarters. "Aren't you afraid?" Megumi asked.

"No." Souma replied. "Why would I be?" Megumi blushed. "W-we'll.. if staying at this school was at a risk, I'd be scared. You're pretty brave; that's adjustable." Souma smiled, opening the door to the testing quarters. "Thanks!" He said. Megumi blushed again. Maybe.. one of these days... I'll suck it up and ask him out!
