Chapter 186 - Cooking Spirit

Sanji wakes up and finds something in on his arms and he sees a blissful Sakaki and Yoshino

Sanji gently rubs their heads and notices Sakaki slowly scratch her eyes and she hurry shoots up

Yoshino who notices movement wakes up then realizes that it wasn't her room...and she is in a guys arm...she jumps up too

Yoshino: Wh-what did you do to me

she points

Sakaki: did you take advantage of us...

Sanji: umm you girls don't remember...that you both came into my room pushed me down and said that you wouldn't let me sleep until all your holes are filled

They then remembered that they did say that...actually they remember feeling great...but...

Sakaki and Yoshino grabbed their clothes and ran out...but they didn't look upset they looked happy and embarrassed

Sanji laughed at their actions.

Sanji heard about this later but apparently Soma had a match with Itsuki and they ended up a tie. Megumi ended going to sleep in her room. As for the idiot duel they seemed to have gotten a visitor last night Fumiko...

Sanji checked the time and saw it was 2 am so he snuck out and went to Alice's room. He then snuck up into her bed and they spent the night together...just cuddling and he had Grayfia clean up for him...

----------------------

Early in the morning, Sanji teleported back and had breakfast with the dorm. Yoshino and Sakaki avoided eye contact with him but Sanji would initiate talks with them and tease them

Soma then trys to ask Itsuki to challenge him for his seat on the elite 10 causing everyone to laugh

Sanji: Soma you need something of equal value to challenge him. Why would he accept your challenge...I mean what does he have to gain?

Classes were then held. Megumi who was in Sanji cooking classes noticed how skill he was...no...he was on another level. She felt he could easily be on the elite 10...

Megumi POV

One day a couple of people were mocking me. This was the norm for me. As a failure student from the country...my voice my attitude... no one believes in me...I don't even believe in myself

I don't even know how it happens but the whole year views me as someone they can pick on. Well, except the dorms. They are very friendly...but maybe its my skills aren't that good. I mean it did take weeks for me to enter the dorms. I kept failing but luckily they allowed me to stay in the barn during the failures...

Since I came here separated from my hometown. I feel my mind is telling me I'm weak so I just live on. Seriously I always get mocked and never fight back because I lack the confidence and never react until one day Sanji came in. He stood in front of the people who were mocking me and challenged them to shokugeki and crushed them.

Sanji is a strong chef, with a great cooking passion...on that day he gave me inspiration. I told him that I want to be a chef as good as him.

I passed his test that he had to give me and he took me to his training restaurant. I knew I had to work hard to become a true chef. I had to train so hard that I could barely stand. dealing with all sorts of situations

Truth is I never knew the skills I always had. Training with him gave me something I never had. A goal, and a vision which made me glad also a message for my working mother and dead dad

That I'll never back down. There is more to me. I can feel it in my fist, to my feet. I want to be strong, I want it so bad I can taste it. I'll keep pushing forward with all my cooking spirit!

When I first started training. Sanji and I decided to look at some clubs because were required to be in one.

One of the ones we went to was the Don Research Society. The Don Research Society which makes well Donburi. (rice bowl dish)

The only thing is the club was which is being targeted for disbandment by Erina for her expansion project. Ikumi Mito, one of Erina's enforcers, challenges the club president Kanichi Konishi, telling him that no matter what he cooks his dish will never beat her A5 grade meat

However Sanji steps up and volunteers...for me to take place in the Shokugeki in Kanichi's senpai place, with the challenge being to cook a donburi dish. The terms for the contest are that if I win the club stays and Ikumi must join, but if Ikumi wins, the club disbands and Sanji will be expelled...why did he say that he will be expelled...

During the experiments preparing for the shokugeki I learn that Ikumi is one of the best around when it comes to meat...she is the heir to a massive meat packaging business...Sanji told me that she will have better meat than I will have. I was nervous but I been training under Sanji.

She mocks my meat choice for not being as good quality the judges even at first didn't want to try lesser meat quality but the judges, who, after initially refusing to taste it, try his dish and are unable to stop eating, resulting in a unanimous win for me

Everyone saw what I had inside of me. An up and comer who had heart.

From then and there I trained hard. Using the skills I learned from the first match. My training prepared me to win with little doubt. And everyone begins to accept me for who I was.

Sanji told me that training never lies and that it doesn't matter what everyone else says. The only person who can decide if your meal is good or not is the consumer...

I realize that being by Sanji...I might no never mind...

Like that it was time for the training camp...
