[3rd Person's Point Of View]
Ater a few months since the Team Shokugeki passed, the third-year seniors have graduated and started walking their own paths.
At Momo's Pastry Shop:
"We wanted you to come up with another lovely mascot character for us, Momo-sama."
"Nope, I'm only going to deal with sweets from now on." Momo said. "I want to make the world even sweeter, delicious, and even more super-duper cute."
"Manager Momo! / Can we see your new product for the season?" her staffs asked. Momo then took her dish out and showed it.
"Manager Momo's Imperial Majestic Pistachio Daifuku Dumplings!" Momo said.
"Kawaii!" the girls squealed.
At Somei's Sushi Shop:
"I'm terribly sorry. We're completely booked until next spring." his mother told their caller.
"Could I get a kohada next, Boss?" a middle-aged man asked.
"As you wish! I'll put my heart and soul into it!" Somei replied.
At Megishima's Ramen Stand:
"So this is the ultimate ramen of a Totsuki graduate! / C'est si bon! This will definitely take Paris by storm!" the customers said.
"Thanks for waiting." Megishima said as he serves a bowl of ramen.
Somewhere in the wild:
"All right! It went your way, Tsukasa!" Rindo yelled while holding a fishing net.
"Leave it to me, Rindo!" Eishi yelled. They sat on the white sand to rest. "I'm wiped." Eishi said.
"You're one hell of a chef but you've got a ways to go with everything else. I'll make sure to whip you into shape on our journey!" Rindo said.
"Don't get too rough on me." Eishi said chuckling.
"Say, Tsukasa you think our juniors are doing well?" Rindo asked.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're doing fine." Eishi replied.
"Hey, you miss her, don't you?" Rindo teased Eishi who blushed. "Ehe~" Rindo smirked. "Why don't you go back to Japan and visit her?"
"That'll... Be a great idea." Eishi replied.
Meawnwhile in Totsuki:
"Hurry, hurry!" Yuki yelled while running in the halls. "Our next class is about to start, Ryoko!"
"Jeez wait up Yuki!" Ryoko said.
"Oh, hey Nikumicchi!" Yuki greeted.
"Oh, so you decided to take business administration theory?" Ryoko asked.
"Wow, seems complicated." Yuki added.
"I asked (Reader)-chan her opinion, and then I figured, I should learn the business as well as cooking." Ikumi replied.
"Ahh~ I can't wait to see (Reader)-chan! She's as charming as always." Ryoko said smiling.
"Gee~ You're fangirling again. Too bad for you, (Reader)-chan's got a lot of fans in school." Yuki mocked.
"I can still remember when Polar Star Dorm got a lot of request because she stays there." Ikumi replied laughing.
"Enough of that! We should head to our class." Ryoko yelled.
~*
"Oi? Where are you going, Ibusaki? / You've got the same class as us, don't you?" Shoji and Daigo asked.
"I'm skipping, I got challenged to a Shokugeki." Shun replied.
"Aren't you on a 5 win-streak right now?" Daigo asked.
"That's awesome!" Shoji said.
"I'm still aiming for the 152 win-streak of (Reader)." Shun said.
"Um, Ibusaki-senpai please do a Shokugeki with me!" a guy asked.
"Sure." Shun replied.
"Again?!" Shoji and Daigo exclaimed.
"The Polar Star Dormitory sure is peaceful." a guy said.
"Who the heck are you? A new character? / Talk about a lame new character." Daigo and Shoji said.
"Guess I'll give up on the contacts." the guy said as he puts his glasses back on.
"You're Marui?!"
"Hey guys! Let's give it our all again today!" Yuki yelled while running, followed by Ryoko and Ikumi.
"Polar Star Yeah!" they yelled in unison.
"Wait, I'm not in the Polar Star Dormitory." Mito said.
"Oh, it's fine. You're basically an honorary member." Yuki replied.

The screen displayed: Shokugeki {Kuga Terunori vs Hayama Akira} the winner was Kuga.
{ Totsuki Elite Ten: 3rd Seat- Kuga Terunori}
Kuga laughed mockingly. "Looks like you've still got a ways to go, Hayama-kun! I mean, I'm a third-year now after all." Kuga said.
'Holy crap that was close! He's super strong! Seriously, what's up with Yukihira-chin's generation?' Kuga thought sweating.
{ Totsuki Elite Ten: 5rd Seat- Kurokiba Ryo}
Kurokiba who was wearing a bandana yelled, "Hayama! Do a Shokugeki with me too you bastard!"
{ Totsuki Elite Ten: 4th Seat- Hayama Akira}
"Sure, but we just did one yesterday and what about your Shokugeki with (Reader)?" Hayama asked then Kurokiba removed his bandana.
"I lost 5 times but.." Kurokiba wore his bandana again. "Don't act like you're totally better than me! I've got 16 wins to 17 losses! We still don't know how it's gonna turn out!"
"I know." Hayama replied.
"I just said we don't know yet!" Kurokiba yelled.
"Listen to me damn it!" Hayama replied.
{ Totsuki Elite Ten: 6th Seat- Nakiri Alice}
"There you are, Ryo-kun!" Alice yelled and held Kurokiba's collar.
"Now come do a Shokugeki with me! I've got 19 wins, 20 losses and a tie with you! We're basically even." Alice said huffing her cheeks.
"I just battled you 2 days ago miss. I'm battling Hayama tod-" Kurokiba stopped when Alice removed his bandana.
"Nope! I'm going to steal your seat first!" Alice said.
"Then why don't all three of us do Shokugeki?" Kurokiba said nonchalantly.
"Good grief... I'll take you guys on whatever." Hayama said.
Three girls from the student waved at the three second-years. "Hayama-senpai! Can I come to the Shiomi Research Group?" they asked.
"Sure. I'll do a lecture as soon as I'm done with this Shokugeki." Hayama replied.
"You've got this, Kurokiba-senpai!" they yelled again.
"Shut up damn it! You're noisy!" Kurokiba yelled.
The girls squealed. "You're so wonderful, Alice-senpai!"
"Heh." Alice replied.
But this time, the whole venue was filled with squeal and yell. "You're so cool (Reader)-sensei!" they said again which made everyone look at the door.
"Pfft.." (Reader) giggled and waved making the girls squeal.
"(Reader) I missed you!" Alice yelled and hugged (Reader).
"(Nickname)! Do a Shokugeki with me!" Hayama and Kurokiba said in unison.
"You guys, you already know that you'll lose against (Reader)-chin." Kuga sighed.
{ Totsuki Instructor: Mixed Cuisine- Yamaguchi (Reader)}
"Heh~ Sure, what's our topic and what will we wager?" (Reader) replied smirking.

The screen displayed: Shokugeki {Kinokuni Nene vs Isshiki Satoshi} the winner was Isshiki.
"Wow, that was really close. You almost had me Kinokuni." Isshiki said.
"Whatever. You weren't fazed at all." Nene said blushing.
"Kinokuni-senpai! / You're super cute when you're depressed too!" her fanboys said.
Nene then fixed her eyeglasses. "Shi-ne." she said.
"She gave us our gift!" her fanboys yelled while one of them had a bleeding nose.
"We're doing this one more time Isshiki!" Nene said determingly which made Isshiki chuckle.

The sound of a sizzling pot could be heard in that silent hallway. "I was wondering who was training so hard in here. Guess it was you after all, Mimasaka." Eizan said.
"You could easily gotten into the Elite Ten but you stubbornly declined."
"I'm not there just yet. But eventually, I'll come for your position." Mimasaka said. "When I can finally make my own dish without relying on my tracing." Mimasaka replied.
{ Totsuki Elite Ten : 8th Seat- Eizan Etsuya }
"I'll never understand you. I can't tell if you're actually talented or not." Eizan replied.
~*
"Amazing! The Japanese cuisine duo who got two stars from the WGO have been defeated by the Aldini Brothers!" the emcee yelled.
"Their perfect combo plays as brothers are leaving them undefeated against other duos!"
{ Totsuki Elite Ten: 7th Seat- Takumi Aldini }
"Are you going to be okay getting that skinny when it's not even summer?" Takumi asked his brother.
"Well, every day has been pretty grueling but I'm in top form nii-chan." Isami replied.
"Grazie!" they said in unison and fist bumped.
"Besides I'm pretty sure (Reader) would love it when I look like this." Isami replied.
"What did you say?!" Takumi yelled. "Cancel the next challengers! Me and my brother will have a Shokugeki!" Takumi yelled.
"Bring it on Nii-chan!" Isami replied.
~*
"The Aldini brothers have grown so much. I'll continue to allow Shokugekis against alumni. I assume there are no objections?" the current director, Erina said.
"Indeed." the old loyal business partners of her grandfather replied.
"All right, dismissed." Erina said and exited the room.
"Erina-sama has gained the elegance of a true leader." ; "Yes. I have no complaints about her being the heir."
After Erina became the Director, she started using her charisma to keep the academy in line.
"Here's the document for today's tasting. Please have a look." Hisako said while showing Erina a note on a clipboard.
"Thank you Hisako." Erina replied and took the note.
As usual, Hisako is doing everything she can to support the ever-so-busy Erina. But apparently, they've also changed a little.
"Um... Hisako." Erina called out blushing.
"Yes? Erina-sama?" Hisako replied.
"About what you said at the Team Shokugeki." Erina said.
'Right now I'm Erina-sama's friend!' Erina thought about what Hisako said.
"P-P-P-Please forget I said that!" Hisako said blushing while panicking. "I can't believe I was audacious enough to say that we're friends!"
"You weren't audacious at all!" Erina said.
"How about it? Perhaps you can call me 'Erinacchi' like everyone else does?" Erina asked as virtual roses bloomed around them.
"What?! I could never! I-" Hisako panicked.
"Then how about Erina-chan?" Erina asked blushing. "I mean, we're friends after all."
"Eh? E... E... E..." Hisako replied blushing.
The sound of their fast and loud heartbeats could be heard among the two. "Erina-chan..." Hisako said blushing as she puts her index fingers together.
Erina's face got red as she lets out steam. "Eh.. I should probably just keep calling you Erina-sama." Hisako replied.
"Y-Yes this was a bit embarrassing." Erina replied.

Megumi left on a journey after the Team Shokugeki and trained in many countries just like what (Reader) told her.
She studied the various tastes found in various homelands in order to incorporate them into her own dishes. She used that experience when she got home.
Yukihira's declaration about accepting Shokugekis from anyone has completely changes Totsuki Academy. A world where anyone can challenge anyone else.
That's how Totsuki ended with their generation.
