The next morning, everyone is standing in the kitchen as they are wondering who is going to teach them. Megumi says, "I wonder who is going to teach us..."

Soma says, "Perhaps it is someone we know after we come into the school?"

Just then, much to their surprise, they hear a voice, "Hey there, blockhead. Looks like you managed to not completely fail out of Totsuki."

They turn around and see that Shinomiya is there. Soma asks, "Master Shinomiya?"

"I told you, don't call me master..." Shinomiya mutters.

"Why is Chef Shinomiya here in Hokkaido?" Takumi asks.

"I invited him, looks like I took you all by surprise." Dojima says. "And Shinomiya here will be helping her."

Shinomiya looks at Megumi and says, "No hard feelings, eh?"

"Chef Shinomiya, the recipient of the Pluspol medal...is going to..." Takumi gasps.

"All this is for us? What about your own restaurant?" Soma asks.

"Don't get carried away, this is just a bit fancy." Shinomiya says.

"As long as I'm here, I will not let you say any mean words towards my sister." They turn around and also see that a boy is standing in front of them, Megumi panics more as she exclaims, "Brother?!"

"Hey, Megumi. I heard about what you did to rebel against the Central. Can't say I blame you." Yu says.

"Tadokoro Yu..." Megishima mutters as the said person turns to him. "Oh, Megishima, I see you are on this side as well. Though it is a shame to see Tsukasa and Rindo in the different side."

"You know Yu-senpai?" Soma asks, Megishima says, "I respect him a lot when I was just the first-grade freshmen."

Shinomiya says, "The first seat of the 88th generation, huh? Interesting."

Dojima says, "And both Shinomiya and Tadokoro Yu will be the ones to train Tadokoro Megumi."

Megumi panics a lot as the two first seats are training her, and Dojima Gin turns to Takumi, "As for you, Takumi, you are going to train with me, and I also have another person that will help you out."

Takumi is confused, but then he gasps to see that his mother is there. "Mother?" Takumi gasps in shock.

"I heard what happened to Isami." Takumi's mother says, "I care about him as much as you do."

She turns to Soma and says, "You must be Yukihira Soma, it is a pleasure to meet you. I heard a lot about you from Takumi."

"Eh..." Soma says.

"Well if it isn't Utsuku senpai?" Joichiro says, "It sure has been a while."

"Joichiro and Gin, huh..." Utsuku sighs. "It won't be a pleasure to me to see you two again."

"Wait, you know them, Mother?" Takumi asks.

"Utsuku Aldini, or formerly Utsuku Yoshida, is our senpai." Dojima says. "She was the first seat of the 68th generation. At that time we were just second years."

"That means my mother's seat is better than your pops." Takumi says to Soma, before he can retort, Utsuku sighs, "You're still the same, Takumi. Just because my seat is higher doesn't mean that you are better, though."

Qiu says, "As for me, I'll be teaching Kuga with Fujiwara, is that okay?"

Kuga says, "A Taiwanese Master and a Beverage Master...interesting."

"Megishima, you will be partnered with me and Shizuka, is that fine for you?" Katsu asks.

"I have no objections." Megishima says.

"As for you, Isshiki..." Dojima says, "You will be with these two."

As they turn around, they notice that even Hinako is there. "Hinako senpai!" Soma, Megumi, and Takumi exclaim.

"Why don't you give Yukihira-kun or Tadokoro-chan to me?" Hinako says. "And Shinomiya is just going to scar Tadokoro-chan without a doubt."

"What were you saying..." Shinomiya grabs her on the head as he gives out a weird aura.

Soma sighs, "To think even Inui senpai is also here."

"She's not the only one, though." They turn around to see a green-haired man with an old Japanese-style outfit standing in front of them. Isshiki says, "Sekiguchi senpai."

"Who?" The others are confused, as Kuga replies, "Sekiguchi Haru senpai was the second seat in the 75th generation, and he is also one of the judges in our training camp. He specializes in Fried Food, and he is really good at it."

"Even Kuga is here, huh..." Sekiguchi says. "Isshiki, you are a very talented student, though I am surprised you would join the rebel's side. Not that I dislike about it."

"I know." Isshiki says with a smile.

Dorabu says, "And I'll be training Mimasaka Subaru, since I know how you are good at tracing others."

"Then I'll be with you." Daniel adds, and Mimasaka says, "That's fine for me."

Soma and Erina are the two left, and Senzaemon says, "I'll be teaching Erina since she is my granddaughter, and he will be helping you as well."

Erina turns to see Nakiri Soe as he asks, "Uncle Soe?"

"It has been a while, Erina." Soe says. "I'll help you with the cooking as well."

"But why..." Erina asks.

"Because...I can't forgive Azami for trying to expel my cute daughter." Soma and Erina are facepalming and Megumi asks, "So he is Alice's father..."

"But this isn't what I am thinking..." Takumi adds.

"And for you, Soma. I'll be the one to help you." Joichiro says. "Of course, it is not just me."

Soma turns to see a man standing at the doorway, and everyone exclaims in shock. "Chapelle sensei!"

"I am not a teacher ever since Azami fired me for not listening to the Central." Chapelle sighs. "But I'll be helping Yukihira Soma with this.

Soma says, "Oh, it will be great, Chapelle sensei."

"Just what is this kind of battle array...to think everyone here in the car all disagrees with Father's plans..." Erina thinks in shock.

Senzaemon says, "And before we begin the 4 weeks of training, we will also learn about our enemies and find a way to defeat them. And the training will start right now."

All 8 students and 16 experienced chefs nod as they go to their own kitchens, and they start to prepare their training.

After the training, Soma can tell that everyone is really exhausted, even someone as strong as Megishima is also stressed. That night, Soma and Megumi are now sitting in the same room as they all change into their pajamas, and Soma asks, "So how is your training, Megumi?"

Megumi sweatdrops a little as she remembers how Yu and Shinomiya are fighting most of the time. "I guess it is fine...but it is very hard...one is an alumnus who tried to expel me from Totsuki, and the other one is my brother who I have been trying to surpass for a long time...I got really nervous."

"You don't need to worry too much. Shinomiya is a nice person if you get to train under him." Soma says. "It reminds me of the old days in the Stagiaire."

"What about you, Soma-kun?" Megumi asks.

"My Dad wanted to have a cooking showoff with me with Chapelle sensei as the judge, and I got my 491st lost..." Soma groans a little. "No matter if I change into my Phantom personality or not, I still can't exceed my old man."

"I know that one day you are able to defeat your father." Megumi says. "And just like I hope that one day I will be able to defeat my brother as well."

"Yeah..." Soma says. "But come to think of it...not only Eri-chan, but I haven't gotten a cooking showdown with you as well. How about we try to do that during these days?"

"Me? Against you? I can't do this...You are far too strong for me to take on..." Megumi panics.

"Who knows, maybe you're stronger than me." Soma says. "There are some times I think that your food is better than mine."

"Really?" Megumi asks in shock. "But I was able to go this far because of you, Soma-kun...if you weren't here, I might already be expelled before this Central even appear..."

"You're too modest to yourself." Soma sighs.

Megumi turns to Soma and asks, "But Soma-kun, may I ask what kind of training did your uncle do to you when you're little?"

Soma frowns and he says, "It was after my Dad visited former headmaster Senzaemon, he brought me to uncle Azami and Eri-chan. Eri-chan and I played often, but that isn't going long as uncle Azami started the training."

He says, "Uncle Azami doesn't have Angel's Eyes, but he knows very well of this because of my mother. Now that I knew why he did this...First, he tries to force me to make dishes from good ingredients and bad ingredients. After they are done, he has Eri-chan taste them to see which is the "right" dish and which is the "wrong" dish. The "wrong" dish has to be thrown away just after tasting a bite."

"That's horrible..." Megumi gasps.

"Angel's Eyes not only has the ability to use the worst ingredient for the good food, but we can also find out what food is using good and bad ingredients. And when Eri-chan wasn't by my side, Uncle Azami would want me to see the dishes from other chefs, if there's a dish that is imperfect, I have to dump at them to tell them that the food is not okay..." Soma says.

"That's inhumane..." Megumi cries a little. "I can't believe you suffered like that."

"After days of training, as I told you, Eri-chan decided to give in to the darkness, which is why she had that Ice Queen personality. But I managed to survive, and that's when I have a second personality...the Phantom." Soma says.

"Can I ask how do you cooperate with your two personalities? Won't they clash with each other?" Megumi asks.

"They do...until the year when my mother died..." Soma frowns. "It is after that we've decided to stop fighting and work with each other. At first, the Phantom personality is ruthless...considering I made a lot of mess to Sumidori Shopping District...my parents are worried about me, especially my Mother. Having such a personality might be a curse to me, but on the other hand, it helps a lot of people from the Sumidori Shopping District."

"How come?" Megumi asks.

"As a Phantom, a lot of vendors on the street have been asking me how I improve their food, and that is also enjoyable." Soma smiles. "And after my Mother perished, the Phantom and I work together as my Dad decided to take me to other countries to meet other senpais and even try to train with them. Some of these Alumni are very nice, they teach me a lot about cooking, and I have been trying to compete with them."

"Compete with them?" Megumi asks in surprise. "Don't tell me you..."

"I have never won against any of them." Soma frowns. "I was just a kid who hasn't even stepped foot in Totsuki. The strength difference is absolute. But that doesn't mean I haven't gained anything from them."

"Eh..." Megumi says.

"It is getting late right now, how about we take a rest?" Soma asks, and Megumi nods as she goes back to her cart to rest.

And here is a new chapter, I have decided to add more OCs or already appearing characters to help Soma and the others for training the Regiment de Cuisine. I really don't like how the anime just time skips, and I want to add some more. I hope you like this chapter.
