"A Regimental Shokugeki? That's quite the gallant affair. It's not a bad thing for us, though. In fact, it's a great opportunity to get rid of the conspirators who dare to go against Azami." The fifth seat Saito Somei says to the phone.

"Momo thinks it's a good thing, right, Bucchi?" Momo asks as she manages to get a checkmate while playing chess with Saito, causing the latter to be in dismay.

"I mean, we can shut down all the rebels in one fell swoop. So go on and tell commander Azami that Momo and everyone will stand and fight, Rindo." Momo adds.

"Let me fight too!" Eizan says in an angry tone as he takes the phone. "I will absolutely fuck Yukihira Soma up with my own hands!"

"But are you really gonna be okay, though? Eizan?" Eishi asks. "It's just that, well...I was thinking it'd be a bit problematic if you went up and lost again."

This causes Nene, who is beside Eizan, to chuckle a little, and Eizan's face to go red in anger.

"Tsukasa! You asshole! I heard what you said just now!" Rindo yells. "Have you no sensitivity or consideration towards your juniors? Eizan went and straight-up got wrecked against an ickle first-year baby, I mean, that's just so pathetic and pitiable, y'know? So you should be more considerate towards him!"

Eizan is now seething in rage as he throws Nene's cellphone, with the latter quickly catching it before it breaks. "By the way, commander Azami, there were 4 opponents, right? Are we going to match their numbers and fight against them that way?"

"Mm...I did have something like that in mind. Anyway, whichever option we choose, let's make it flashy." Azami adds.

"So there are the 8 of us, considering that the 9th seat is going to be expelled, and both the Phantom and Nakiri Erina are on the rebel's side..." Eishi says.

"Tsukasa-san, why would the Phantom help those people?" Nene asks, and Eishi sighs, "About that, I just called him to know what exactly is going on. He has personal hatred against Commander Azami."

"What do you mean by that?" Nene continues to ask, and Eishi frowns and says, "Let's say that Rindo and I already know the true identity of the Phantom."

This causes the whole Elite 10 on the car to be in surprise. Eizan asks, "What do you mean, you won against him?"

Eishi shakes his head and says, "I got a tie with him when he was not serious. I asked him to become a member of Central, but he just refused like that."

Rindo says, "Why didn't I know about the match, huh? Tsukasa? I thought we know who he is because we were in the office."

"It's a long story. But all I know is that the Phantom is very serious about trying to destroy Central, even to go this far as to reveal himself in front of the whole school." Eishi says.

"So that means we will be knowing who he is during the Regiment Shokugeki...interesting." Saito says.

"Momo thinks it would be better to know after defeating him..." Momo says.

When the time for the meeting has arrived, Soma is in his Phantom outfit, but without the mask, Megumi asks, "Soma-kun, are you sure you're going to dress like that?"

"It will be fine." Soma says. "Just so they know that they are not fighting against Yukihira Soma, but rather the Phantom himself."

"Going into another personality again, huh?" Joichiro pats his back.

"Enough with this nonsense, Dad." Soma says, still in a cold tone. Takumi mutters, "I still like the old one better..."

After seeing Azami skiing down the mountain, they are surprised, and then all the members of the Elite 10 are now in front of them. Soma says, "Well, the 6 Elite 10 members who betrayed the previous administration are here in full force, huh..."

"Yukihira Soma...you're the phantom?" Eizan asks in anger, and Soma says, "What if I am? And how've you been since that Shokugeki?"

"I'll crush you!" Eizan says as he starts to curse, and Nene can only sigh at his simple murderous rage.

"Now, Kinokuni, please read aloud the details of the battle, beginning with the date." Azami says.

"The sixth exam will be carried out in one month, there will be a battle stage specially installed for the Regimental Shokugeki on the southern tip of Rebun Island. We are planning to build a stadium where the ordinary students who are still currently in the midst of making their way north as part of the promotion exams can spectate the event."

"Understand, now then, within that stadium, the side that wins will take all of the Elite 10 seats." Senzaemon says.

"No objections. Also, let us not make any special limits on how many can participate. That's one of the special features of the Regimental Shokugeki. After all, Saiba-senpai one took on 50 people. For example, should you all have supporters, I wouldn't mind if you brought 50, nay, 100 to battle. It must be difficult since almost all of the rebels have been expelled."

Katsu says, "You sure are in good spirits, Azami. You better not forget what you bet on this match."

Qiu says, "If Yukihira and them win and are appointed to the Elite 10, you'll be ousted as headmaster...just like how you retired Senzaemon-dono."

Fujiwara says, "Your pipedream of exterminating the restaurants that serve "Fooder" will also vanish. Central will be disbanded and this "revolution" you've attempted will be completely wiped clean."

"If we win though, all of the rebels will be expelled, then all the obstacles trying to overthrow my organization will be completely removed. Moreover, Saiba-senpai and the rest of you will become my soldiers. There's nothing that could make me happier."

Then they also show them the student IDs of those who were taken, and Somei puts all of them inside Momo's doll Bucchi.

"How mean...you treated Momo's Bucchi as convenient storage." Momo cries.

"You're one to talk, you're always pulling and pinching it apart." Somei says.

Soma says, "Tsukasa senpai. I'll let you know, the one that is facing against you won't be myself, but the Phantom. I won't make the same mistake just like last time."

Before Eishi can reply, Azami suddenly says, "Erina. Just to confirm in advance, you'll of course be part of our team, right?"

Soma mutters, "The headmaster and the Elite 10 council stand at the very top of Central, which means that both me and Erina were still the 0th and 10th seat...but I was the one that asks for this Shokugeki, that means I won't be in their side, but Eri-chan..."

Erina takes a breath and says, "I understand what you're getting at, Father. And as such, I have decided that I must relinquish my position as the Tenth seat. From now on, I am just plain old Nakiri Erina."

Soma smiles and Erina continues, "Without doing so, I can't say that I'm one of their friends through and through."

"You of all people are making your opinions clear to me, Erina? Fine. But when you all lose...Erina, Soma. I'm setting a special set of conditions for the both of you." Azami says.

"Just expelling you would be too soft, I'm going to make you two spend your whole life working for Central, and I'll make sure that you never disobey me again." Azami says.

"Fine by me, I will never forget what you've done to both me and Sou-kun. I am going to win this for everyone's sake." Erina adds.

"Indeed." Soma says as they decide to take their own student IDs and give them to Erina, much to her surprise. "These are our lives! We're givin'em to you, Nakiri."

"Sou-kun?" Erina asks in surprise.

"You're the one that made the first effort to try and make us all pass the promotion exams. You're our shrine." Soma says. "And now it is time for me to return the flavor, I will tell you about every one of the Elite 10 members and we'll try to find the way to stop them."

The other three nod in agreement with Soma's words, and the Alumni behind them smile at Soma.

At the same time, the ones who are expelled are now gathered at the airport that was leaving to Totsuki. "You bastard! To think you would join the Central!" Ryo is now yelling at Hayama, who just turns his head away.

"Ryo-kun, you should stop it." Alice says, but Hayama interrupts, "Let him do it, I deserve all of that. I don't have the right to be here with everyone."

"The deep connection we share as the white coat trio is absolute." Alice says, "You don't need to say that."

"But looks like Nii-chan isn't here...that means he might have survived." Isami says.

"Megumi-chi and Yukihira as well." Yuki adds. "But we didn't..."

"Erina-sama..." Hisako is now looking like a zombie as she continues to mutter the words.

Just then, the staff members are now muttering with surprise as Ryoko asks, "What is this about?"

"It seems that the rest of the rebels are challenging the Central for a Regimental Shokugeki." One of the staff members says.

"They are overconfident, to think that only those four are trying to defeat the whole Central..." Another one says.

"Regimental Shokugeki?" They all exclaim in shock, and Alice gets the phone call from Soma.

"Yukihira-kun?" Alice asks.

"Alice, are you guys back to Totsuki yet? Or are you guys still at Hokkaido?" Soma asks.

"We were just about to go there, we heard from the staff members about Regimental Shokugeki, don't tell me that it was your doing..." Alice says.

"That was too reckless even for all of you." Yuki yells through the phone.

Soma sighs, "I just don't want to be the reason why you were expelled. As the Phantom. I will definitely win against the Central and get your IDs back no matter what. Of course, Eri-chan, Megumi, Takumi, and I will also find as much help as we can to defeat them. I can't talk much, since we need to train for this."

After that, the phone call just ends, and the others are panicking as Hayama says, "Regimental Shokugeki...to think they would do this for me as well..."

"Hey, Hayama." Ryo is now back at his normal self as he says, "Since Yukihira beat you and all, that means that if we were to duke it out, things might not end the same way they did at the elections, got it. So just you wait until our next showdown."

"Sure thing, I'll take you on anytime." Hayama sighs.

Alice says, "Right now..."

The others are confused as they see Alice rushes towards the staff as she starts to throw a big tantrum at them, Yuki asks, "What is she doing?"

"Probably trying to have them let us stay at Hokkaido? After all, Yukihira and the others are fighting for our expulsion..." Ikumi says.

And much to their delight, they are now taking the bus to the Rebun Island as they are going to see the matches, but the problem is that there is a long way to reach there and all the vehicles they have is the bus.

And this will be the end of the chapter right now, starting from the next chapter, it will be training and a lot of flashbacks from Soma or the other Alumni.
