Shokugeki no Soma – A new Gen Arises: Enter Yukihira Satoru

Chapter 2: A Mysterious Encounter

It's been 4 weeks since Satoru first year at Totsuki Academy started. He lives in polar star dorms and things became much more lively and fun since his friends moved in. They live with the current Elite Ten, eight students who made it into the dorms on their first try and six other students that took two or three times to get in. It was impressive to Satoru since the students that passed didn't look all that much as a threat to him but he know not to underestimate people, especially one's that can get into a Elite Dormitory that is a Dorm in which the former and present Elite ten lives in.

(Polar Star Dorms has evolved over the years in Totsuki Academy and is now the house of the Elite Ten. Only a chef that has the capacity and boldness to rival or challenge the current Elite Ten will be accepted into their house)

The Elite Ten lives on the 4th floor, Satoru and his friends lives on the 3nd floor and the eight students who got in on their first try lives on the 2nd floor. The other six are on the first floor. Although Satoru Friends in the Elite Ten insist that he lives on the 4th floor with them he declined the offer. Satoru has met with the eight students and found them very fun and friendly. He thought maybe a little too friendly but he wasn't threatened by them. The students on the first floor were a bit strange they rarely talk to anyone there and they seem to leave before anyone is up.

Satoru was walking down the stairs to see if Megumi- san cooked breakfast, when he got to the bottom of the stairs he noticed a young man with green hair staring at him.

"Good- Morning!" Satoru said with a yawn. The boy continued to stare at him; Satoru looked him in the eyes and noticed he was looking at his headband.

"You're curious about my headband?" he asked. The boy now looked him in the eyes and nodded.

"Well it was given to me by my older brother, passed down to him by my oldest brother and father" Satoru said with a big smile.

"Is your brother perhaps named Joichiro" asked the boy. Hearing this Satoru was shocked.

"Yes, I'm sure you heard of him but you say it like you met him before?" he asked.

"Hmm, interesting" the boy said. He smiled and walked towards the door and left. This left Satoru curious to as who hell this kid was. He decided to think about it later and so he went into the kitchen.

In the kitchen Megumi san was preparing breakfast while Mira and Aaumi were helping her. Looking up and seeing his friend Mira just smiled.

"Good Morning Sato" Mira said, causing both Aaumi and his mother to stop what they were doing and greet the teen.

"Good morning!" both daughter and mother said in unison with enthusiasm.

Satoru just nodded. He was thinking about that mysterious green headed kid he just met a second ago. He then got an idea, he thought that since Megumi san was the dorm mother she must know something about that kid.

"Megumi san do you about a green headed green that lives on the first floor? Asked Satoru

"Well, yes his name is Mema Khuc; he specializes in Ikura dons, he runs a Don shop near the library, I don't know anything about his parent's, but I'm sure your dad does" She finished. Then she started to go back to work on breakfast.

"Thank you, you helped a lot, I won't be needing breakfast Megumi san I'm going to visit my old man" Replied Satoru as he grabbed a piece of bread and a apple. Walking towards the door he was stopped by Mira.

"I'm going with you Satoru" Mira said with all seriousness. Satoru just stared at him then chuckled and nodded

"Ok" he said. Mira nodded and said his goodbye to his mother and sister.

On their way towards the Nahira Mansion (Yukihira plus Nakiri). Aden and Takumi were heading their way discussing something that seems to be getting out of hand.

"What did you just say you little shit?!" Aden yelled obviously upset about what the young Aldini twin has said.

"I said you're an incompetent fool and you have horrible people skills!" Takumi replied yelling

"You know what Aldini?!" Aden said drawing closer to Takumi with balled fists

"What Kurokiba?!" Takumi yelled at equal volume with the black haired mad dog and mirroring his actions.

Just before those two were about to chew each other heads off Satoru and Mira stepped in the middle. Satoru had his hand on Takumi shoulder while Mira had his hands on Aden chest pushing him back a bit. Takumi immediately calmed down while Aden was still infuriated and resisting to stop. Looking like he was going to hit Mira, Satoru half turned at him and glared which calmed the boy down, but you can still hear the hot headed teen's mumbles.

"Calmed down you too" Satoru said in all seriousness. Both teen gulped knowing that if they resisted they would have to deal with the blondish red headed Yukihira.

"Yes please do, I really don't care what you guys were arguing about but there's no use in fighting about it, it's pointless" Mira calmly said while dropping his hands from Aden chest.

"Yeah ok, but tell Aden over there to work on his damn people skills, honestly he needs to take a damn anger management class" Takumi said

Aden just glared at the boy but quickly abated his actions from Satoru intense glare.

Aden was thinking back to the days they would all train together with Soma (Their sensei so to speak). Even with all four of them they could never defeat Satoru in a fight (Including Isi). Jumping back to reality Aden sighed and then nodded.

"So anyways where are you guys heading to?" Takumi asked

"We're on our way to the director's office, to ask him a question about a particular student" replied Mira

Aden looked surprised at hearing this. "And why would the two of you be worried about some kid?" asked Aden now curious to what his friends were up to.

"I had a encounter with that strange kid with green hair that lives on the first floor in our dorm, he knew my brother; Joichiro and when I asked him how he knew him the boy just smiled and walked away" Satoru finished with a sighed

"Whoa that is strange" Takumi said, Aden and Mira nodded in agreement

"So are you guys coming" asked Mira and the two boys nodded and they were on their way towards the directors Mansion.

So an hour has passed since the four of them have gotten to the mansion. But can you blame them; I mean the damn campus is huge. So upon entering through the largest of gates they ever seen, right there on the front porches was the green headed kid with someone one standing high above him with his hands on the boy's shoulders.

Getting a little closer to the two, the four young teens recognize the man. He was none other than; Alumni former first seat of the 121 generation; Joichiro Yukihira. He was about 6'3. He had golden eyes and Blonde hair, which was swept back except for two long bangs that shaped his face and touch his chest; his hair flowed freely to the bottom of his back. Many girls around the world calls his eyes the Golden orbs of love and truth; because in his eyes he sees potential in anyone and anything, he's always honest, his eyes shows nothing but love. He doesn't have to taste the food first, he's sees everything with his eyes, whether or not the dish is good and he always gives tips on how to improve the dish. He runs a dojo in the heart of France but he has more around the world, he's not retired from cooking but he spends most of his time in his dojo. He thought he should spread the teaching of Yukihira Martial arts to other countries to express Yukihira greatness in other ways instead of cooking. He wore a black fitting shirt and pants; expressing his extremely muscular built in depth. He's married to Nanami Allaire – (Yukihira now), who is French and also a chef that graduated as the second seat of Totsuki 121 generation. She runs a well known 3 star rating restaurant in France. He has a one year old daughter named Naomi Yukihira.

Now noticing the four young boys in front of him Joichiro smiled.

"How have you guys been" he said. The four boys have yet to reply, instead they just stood still. Finally coming out of his shock Satoru yelled at his brother.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" yelled Satoru

Joichiro just laughed "I'm sorry Sato, I forgot to tell you I was coming back from France to work here with dad for a couple of days" he said now walking back inside the mansion. Soon being followed by the four boys.

"So why are you here exactly, I mean what does the old man wants you to do" Asked Satoru suspiciously

"I'm just here to teach a couple of classes since some of the teachers have gotten sick recently and I'm also here to check out the students and make sure they are fit to be students at Totsuki" he said

Satoru was still unconvinced. "Is that all you came for" he pushed on.

"Look if you don't believe me, just ask father" he replied. Seeing as his brother was not going to reveal what their dad was planning he decided to change the subject to a more recent topic.

"Actually I wanted to ask you about that kid, you know with the green hair, do you know him?" Satoru ask while walking faster to not get left by his brother. His friends who were being quiet and listening intently quickened their steps; and peered over his shoulder to hear the man better.

"Oh Mema, yes I know him he was one of my star pupil in the dojo in France but he isn't born in France he was born in Vietnam actually" Replied Joichiro

"Do you know anything else about him; like his family and his cooking techniques" asked Mira

"Well he's an orphan and he doesn't like to speak about his parents. His cooking techniques are Culinary Triangle and his home town technique Luco which consist of boiling with water; mainly fresh vegetables and meat, the type of knife he uses the most is a Cleaver" Joichiro finished

The three boys behind Satoru just nodded and store the information that was just given to them in the heads. Satoru pondered this for a moment and then was snapped out of his thoughts when his brother started chuckling.

"For some reason Satoru," he started, getting everyone's attention. "He seems to have a grudge against you" he finished looking Satoru in the eyes

"Why, I hardly know the kid?"Thought Satoru

"I have no idea but, don't under estimate him, he's a very good cook" Joichiro said while opening the door to his father's office.

Opening and entering the office the five of them saw Soma talking with a grey haired young man that looks to be some years older than Joichiro although they're the same height.

"Ah here he is now," said Soma gesturing to the group. Following Soma's hand the man turned around and smiled at them

"Royce what are you doing here?" asked a shocked Aden. Royce is Aden's older brother. Royce is 25 years old, he run a restaurant with his father and mother in Denver. He looks like an older version of Aden except his bangs are shorter and his hair is gray and red eyes like his mother. He wears a blue suit and blue shoes. Unlike his father and little brother Royce is not hot tempered, he's very friendly like his mother and he likes to mess with his younger brother and cousin (Satoru). He married to a woman in Denver who's an artist. Although his joyous and friendly nature differs from his father's personality, Royce has a mad dog side to him when a person trashes his family name, like in his Totsuki days.

"Hey Aden how have you been" replied Royce completely ignoring his brothers question. He walked over to his little brother and patted his head. Aden now embarrassed and pissed for his brothers action punched his brother in the gut which caused the older man to grunt then laughed.

"Hahaha you're still the same huh little mad dog "He laughed. Joichiro walked past the older man and went to his father and not far behind him was Satoru.

"Satoru how have you been, do you like it at polar star dorm" Asked Soma

"Yeah I guess , but on to more important things, old man what the hell are you to planning here and why is Royce here and does it have anything to do with that weird green headed kid!?" yelled Satoru

Joichiro was not pleased by the way his brother addressed and spoke to their father.

"Ouch, what the hell Joichi- Ouch" he got another slap in the head by his brother

"Watch your language when you are speaking to your father" Replied Joichiro with a smile but Satoru knew that his brother was serious.

"Moving on, Satoru, Joichiro and Royce are here to help me with some things, in fact one of them has to do with you and with Mema" Soma said with a smirk,

"What is it?" Satoru ask more calmer now

"Shokugeki" replied Soma

"He challenged me to a Shokugeki for my seat?"Asked Satoru, now confused as to why the boy didn't come up to him and ask him himself and why all of a sudden his brother and cousin were here

"Not for your seat but for experience, or so he puts it" replied Joichiro

Satoru was contemplating for moment. After about 2 minutes of thinking he face his dad and nodded

"Ok your Shokugeki will begin in one week Satoru, but before that why don't we have a cooking match Satoru, it's been a while since we had one don't you think?" said Soma with fire in his eyes. It's been a while since they have had a father- son healthy battle.

"Are you going to battle Sato in front of everyone?" asked Aden

Soma just nodded and stood up, as he did this the doors to his office opened up and revealed his beautiful wife; even though they've been married for a long time she still was able to put him in a trance which leave him in awe. She started walking towards him and he took note of the way her hips would sway left and right in a tempting manner and it made him growl unconsciously, the most sexiest thing about it is that this is how she walks normally and it was so arousing when looking at the way her lower half of her body reacts to the movement in a perfect motion, if she have given effort in swaying her hips any man checking her out would die from being so arouse.

(In actuality theirs a legend about her, a legend other than her cooking that's known throughout the world; the legend says that her beauty is too powerful for the eyes of men to bear witness in the world. And any man that looked at her would be given the privilege of a rich, satisfying and beautiful sight; the sight of a goddess. Given that beautiful gift; they would have to pay the price; her beauty was said to be so powerful that it killed thousands of men who were unworthy of her. There was another known legend of her; that there was only one man who could capture her heart and that man was said to be the 'The God Chef' (Soma) that capture her heart). Soma; The most Captivating Man Alive. There are many more legends about him and her but too many to count and tell).

Erina upon hearing this smirked and once she was in front of her husband she hugged him and whispered into his ear.

"Such a naughty man" she said as she kissed his ear. A Chill ran up his spine but he waved it off and just chuckled and continues to hold her. Looking at the kids and two young men in front of him he smiled. He saw blushes of the kid's faces except for Satoru.

'This child takes so much after me' he thought happily but of course all of his children were unfazed about these about such things so it shouldn't surprise him in the least but he can see so much of him and his wife in Satoru.

"They have finally finished the movie Soma" said Erina breaking the man out of his thoughts

He looked down at her and smiled. The others were confused at hearing this.

"Wait there's a movie about what? Well it doesn't matter I want to see it!" yelled Takumi excitedly

"It's about your father days in the chef wars but they are only showing a couple from there because Soma destroyed the rest, but anyway all of your parents and I are going to be in it as well, actually it was taken live when we were kids." She finished happily

"Really?!" Asked Satoru excitedly

"Yes I thought it would be good for everyone if they knew a little about my life and the 92th former elite times in our academy days. So I will play this movie next week after your Shokugeki." said Soma; he smiled when he heard his wife yawn cutely

"I tired, I'm going to go rest" she said as she kissed Soma on his cheek and disappeared inside his kimono. Seeing this it shocked everyone. Shocking because when did she even opened his robe and wrapped herself inside, and on top of that she just goes and disappears.

"W-What the hell?! Where did she go?! " asked Takumi getting behind Satoru

"How the hell did she do that?!" asked Aden with wide eyes

"You got to teach things like that to me director, please" plead Royce as he begged with cuffed hands like he was about to pray.

"Sato is your mother a ghost" Asked Mira sounding a little scared. Looking over to his left he sees Satoru with the same expression and probably the same thought.

"I'll never understand how you do things like that father, but I have to remember," Joichiro started as he looked his father in the eyes and smirked "That your techniques areunfathomable.

Soma just chuckled and walked towards the door, walking past them Satoru patted his father on the back and when he touched nothing but back, Sato eyes shot open wide and looked at his father and what he saw was his father being surrounded by fire and words appeared on the side of him that said

"ASURA" in the most powerful voice Satoru or anyone in that room has heard and it scared to know that his father is unexplainably power in many ways. Looking to his left he sees his friends and Royce cuddling up with each other in fear and crying just by the small glimpse of that man's power.

"You guys heard it to?" he asked with a chuckle, the boys just nodded and started to suck their thumbs. Looking back at the direction his father left to Satoru couldn't help but smile. 'One day I will surpass you old man' he thought with determination

"Amazing isn't it?" he heard Joichiro mutter something, turning his way Satoru questioned him with a "Huh"

"Amazing isn't it, that one man is that powerful, Even grandpa Nakiri recognized our father's strength. You know what he told me the day before he died?" he asked his younger brother, the boy just shook his head.

"No what did he say" Asked Satoru

"He said 'Your father is an enigma, even I fear that man. It's kind of amazing and scary at the same time. Even in my younger days I know for a fact that I would not have been strong enough to handle Soma in any kind of way. However I told your father that he was not invincible, he's not unbeatable, I told him he would become weak and fail because of his weaknesses but he proved me wrong with each day he lived. Everyone has a weakness, and that weakness just so happens to be us; his family. Your father told me, that your weaknesses will become your greatest strengths, and from the moment he said those words he overcame every obstacle that came his way, and he defeated every one of his enemies that blocked his path. I understand what he meant. His strength is his family and as long as his family/ love ones are in good care, he could care less of what happens to him. I now know that I to can do the same because my family is in good care, my family is what gave me the strength to live such a long, happy and satisfying life. And I owe it all to Soma" Joichiro finished with a graceful smile with a single tear streaming down his face. Hearing that Satoru had a fear tears escaping his eyes. He looked up to his grandfather and always visits him each and every day, he was happy to have him as a grandfather. He was happy that he has such a great father.

"You know that there is only one man that surpassed our father?" Asked Joichiro with a serious tone

Nodding, Satoru replied by saying "Yes I know, he was said to be as strong as father at age 15, hey aren't you on the same strength as father?" he said and Joichiro just smiled.

"Yeah I beat father in cooking and in fighting when I was 17 and do you know how?" replied Joichiro

"Yes, yes, by finding a women that makes me want to give all of my best to her, yeah I know, but I don't have time for love and besides I will beat him with my skills, besides I will not allow you two to leave me behind, I will surpass that man." Declared Satoru

Joichiro just sighed and patted his brother on the head

"Well come on everyone, my father is probably waiting for us inside of the kitchen for his match with Satoru" He said as he was walking towards the door. Before he left he turn around and smiled at Satoru.

"Satoru, you need to polish your skills and rely on more than just yourself, you are not strong enough to defeat him yet, so express your love to that girl you adore so much" He said with a wink and a knowingly smirk.

"What do you know?" he asked in a snarky tone

"I'm going to let you in on a little secret, I've been here since the school year started and I have been watching you while interacting with certain people, upon your expression and actions I can tell even if you're too stubborn to admit it and accept it, but I haven't narrowed it down to the right one yet but Satoru it's inevitable to keep it away from me. These eyes of mine can detect/ analyze and or decipher love no matter how you try to hide I will see it and actually the stubborn ones are always the easiest. He said as he departed.

Standing Satoru just smiled and looked in the direction his brother disappears to. Eyes covered by the fallen bangs he just chuckle a little and moved his bangs out of the way.

"Well, we'll see Joichiro, besides I don't care how good you are, I not in love I will become a great chef with my skills and I will defeat that man with my skills" he declared as he looked to his friends who were waking up from passing out, "Come on guys I have a match to win" he said as he walked out of the room and towards the kitchen, his friends and Royce following close behind him.

'Just you wait old man, I'll prove you wrong' he thought as he arrived at the kitchen he noticed five chairs to the left of the massive spacious kitchen, it looked like a arena. He noticed his father waiting on his at the middle of the work station and his brother walking towards the chairs; which are where the five judges will be. The older man gestured for the others to take their seats as judges and he motion for Satoru to come over.

"Time to show me how much you have grown son" Soma said

"Humph, alright old man, I'm going to prove to you I can become a great chef with my skills and my skills only, love isn't needed in the world of cooking and so I will defeat you right here right now" He said with confidence. Soma slightly frowned at hearing those words but his son didn't seem to notice. He thought that his son thinking was off; he feels that he doesn't understand where true strength and skills are nurtured. He decided he would talk to him later, right now he has to focus on the challenge so pushing the thought behind him he smile and nodded.

Hearing someone cough the two men looked towards the judges and Joichiro stood up.

"This match is a topped match. Both of you would prepare the same dish but in a way to your liking, you both will put your own little spin on it, whichever one is presented first will be tasted and judge and if the second dish is as good as the first dish or fails to top it, then the winner will be the one who presented first. You may use only the given ingredients provided to you and any ingredients you may be carrying with you. He said looking at both of them. They both nodded in understanding so he continued.

"This is a Yukihira kind of battle so we will go about the way Yukihira's do it. Each of you will be at different sides of the room. Satoru will to the left but facing fathers station and fathers the same thing as Satoru but opposite of Satoru" he said. Both of them went to their place. The way its set up is like this; in the middle of the giant room are the cooking stations but each station is in half with being both sides have a oven but one has a sink and the other side has a counter and a stove with eight burners. The contestants will be running in between the two stations to get to their opposite sides where the given ingredients are put on a cart. They will be given 30 seconds to gather the needed ingredients for the dish. After the timer they will have stopped and they will get their carts roll them over to their stations and begin cooking and yes their cooking with be timed also. Normally we would give more time to the chefs and start the game like that letting the timer run while they are gathering their ingredients and keep it running when they cook and they would have to cook with the time they have left" he said as he explained it to the other judges since he, his brother and father already knows the rules.

The other judges were beyond shocked to hear this. It was unbelievable. But Royce could only guess that it was a test of skills and speed. This is true but not all there is to it.

Smirking at the older man he continued "this is a test of many things that I will not reveal, he said as he chuckled hearing the disappointed comments and responses in the back of him, but he continued on.

"However I will tell you two of the most important factors of this way of cooking which are Skill and speed. " he finished as he walked back to his seat sitting down he looked at the two and smiled.

Satoru was calm and focus, he didn't seem bother by him facing his father, his friends thought that he was really confident and brave right now.

'Show me what you've got Satoru' thought Mira excitedly while Takumi smile and Aden nodded at his friend and rival, that's his way of saying good luck by the way.

Joichiro looked at Satoru once more before closing his eyes and chuckling. 'Show me your strength, Satoru' he thought in his head as he opened one eye looking at his younger brother. 'We both know that you are not yet strong enough to beat him, you will only grow if you open your heart but never the less I'm rooting for you little brother, do your best' he thought happily. He breathes out one more before his eyes shot open.

He yelled loudly "BEGIN!"

Hearing the approval of starting their match both father and son dashed forward with incredible lighting fast speed but Soma was just a step in front of him.

'THE BATTLES ON!' he thought as he ran faster catching up with his father and looking at his face he saw nothing but his father signature smile. "I"LL SHOW YOU THROUGH MY COOKING OLD MAN!" he yelled
