"Soma, Akiro, Your challenge is to make a dish that consisted of egg and rice as the main ingredient. You are free from using anything else. The time limit is 30 minutes. Now, begin! " Said Joichiro.

"Good luck, Soma. " Said Akiro while searching his ingredients.

"You too, Akiro." Said Soma as he does the same thing.

"Let see... I think this enough. Lan, do you want some?" Asked Akiro

"Think I'll pass," Lan told him.

"Ok, then let's start." As Akiro began dicing all the vegetables and seasoning his rice at the speed of a demon. His speed shocked the father and son duo while Lan just doesn't care. Then he proceeded to cook the rice.

- With Lan and Joichiro -

"Wow, his hands are really fast. I can't even see it clearly. Hey, you are his friend right? Could you tell me why are his hands so fast? " Joichiro asked Lan.

"I am his butler and his friend too, but for the hands part. I don't really know. All I can say is that, Is just his hard work and skills. " Lan answer.

"Oh! Really, we are going to be great dishes later! Kid, May I asked your name? " Joichiro asked.

"My name is Lapoka Lan, Saiba-san." Said Lan.

"Thank you for answering that. Lan-kun. Now, let us wait. 

- Back with Akiro -

Hmm... prep work is done. Now, to fry the egg and the rice. He thought as he continued cooking the dish like a war God descending down to the battlefield. Moving with grace but impactful as well.

"Done, enjoy your meal!" As both contestants said this.

" Well, let us dig in! First up Soma! " Saiba exclaimed.

" Well, let us dig in! First up Soma! " Saiba exclaimed

Hmm... It seems that Soma made an egg with rice.  Joichiro thinks as take a spoonful of it. The egg would need a little more work. I think he needs to work on the flame control more. 

"Next up is Akiro!"

"Next up is Akiro!"

Hmm... It seems Akiro made the Omelet Rice, oh such control over the flames and his ingredients. Oh, I feel like my body is destroyed by challenging the War God himself and the flavor of the fried rice is exquisite. To this dish to be so good at the age of 10 years old. Forget crushing Soma, he might even crush the 18-year-old my self. I might regret not challenging him myself. As Joichiro thought while eating the omelet

"The winner of this battle is Amane Akiro. Soma, you need to try harder if you want to beat him," Joichiro exclaimed.

"Let me taste why I have lost." Said, Soma. He took a bite of the omelet rice and froze for a while before finally speaking, " I will win next time! "

"Sure! But the only time you'll get to try again in 5 years as I and Lan will be registering for it in five years. So, If you want to beat me, you'll have to make it there first before you can think about challenging me. I'll see you there. " Said Akiro to Soma.

"Ding! Task completed. The recipe has been delivered to the inventory. " The system said.

-25 minutes later at the Amane Household -

"Father, I'm home." Said Akiro.

"Welcome back, did you enjoy yourself today?" Asked Rion.

"Yes, I did. But father I want to talk to you for a bit. "

"What is it?"

"Father, you know I want to become a chef and go study at Totsuki Culinary academy in five years. I was hoping you would allow taking all the middle school exams and what's left of elementary school exam with Lan because I was hoping to travel the world and see the culinary world around the globe. "

"I can arrange that. But during your trip, you need to call me every day and you must have to go with our guards. If you leave them behind, I'll have them bring you back. "

"Okay and thank you father for doing this for me." Said Akiro hugging his father.

"Your welcome, Son. Now, off you go. And I need to have a talk with Lan about your trip. "

"Then I will be going." Akiro went to his room.

- With Lan And Rion -

"Lan. Akiro wants to travel the world to see the culinary world with you. Would you want to do that with him? " Rion Asked.

"Of course, I am a butler to my master and a friend who walks beside him. I came here to help him and develop my cooking, so I can walk on the same path as him. After all, Akiro-sama is the one who saves me. "Said, Lan.

"Then prepare yourself for a long journey. I think you should go now. Akiro is waiting. "

"Then I shall leave. Thank you, Rion-sama for helping him. "

- In the Yukihira -

It is the time of the closing of the Yukihira diner. Soma asked, " Dad, I am going to Totsuki in five years. "

"You sure want that?" Asked Joichiro.

"Yes! I want to do cooking battles with him again! "

" If you want to beat him, you need to improve your cooking. Got that? "

"Osu! " Said Soma as he thought.

Just wait for me, Akiro. I will win next time!
