65: Pancakes!

Pancakes!

I ask forgiveness from you guys, this chapter is not edited, I will do so tomorrow, it is now 1:32 AM and I am dying to sleep.2

==========================

The next match was between Alice and her servant Ryo, it was a match that lit the other students on fire, these were very famous in their middle school days, especially Ryo with his raging personality.

Alice went to her station and took out her knife, she traced her finger around it as she whispered "Hmm! How deep should I stab her?" She wondered with a shallow smile on her face, even Ryo who managed to hear her shivered unconsciously

"Just enough so she won't need to go to the hospital." She whispered as she giggled cutely

"My lady, we're about to start." Said Ryo as he saw the MC preparing to announce the beginning of the match, so he had to warn his lady or she will give him hell later on for it

"Oh! Thank you, Ryo, I was thinking about something else, I really didn't realize we're about to start" In an instant, Alice returned to her normal self and finished preparing her tools.

Ryo too finished his stuff and waited for the match to begin

[Now, we got for ourselves a match between two of the most powerful students back in Totsuki's middle school, and arguably o e of the most powerful in here too, Today's match is between lady Alice and her aide, Ryo!!]

The crowd cheered for the two...well. Mostly Alice but still, the students were excited to see what kind of dish will the two make? who will win? Who will lose?

[This time around, the these for this battle is...] The MC girl made a dramatic pause then shouted as loud as she can [...Pancake!!!]

The crowd was shocked! Pancake? That was like the most basic dish they had ever made! How is this even a challenge?!!

"Good grief! Those elite 10 are mocking us, do they think that our level is this low?" Said Alice with a slight smile, she then

"Who knows..." Said Ryo as he pulled his bandana out and started raging on anything that comes near him...The poor little MC girl!

It didn't take long for the two to start making their dish

Alice stepped down from the stage and from the giant side door, a trailer started entering in revers when it reached near Alice station, it opened to reveal a set of machines that Alice intends to use to enhance her dish

The crowd were awestruck at what is unfolding in front of them

"What is that thing?!" Shouted someone

"Is it even allowed?!" Asked someone else

"This is too much for an overkill!! Added another

" don't you think this is too much for pancakes? " asked another

While the crowd is throwing those statements around, the demon looked at his granddaughter and smiled "Of course it is allowed..." He said, even though he spoke in a low voice, his voice managed to reach the crowed "In order to make the best dish possible, for a chef, nothing is prohibited." He said.

Ryo looked at Alice as she turned on her machine and frowned "As always...you still rely on these pretty tools, no matter how pretty your dish is, if it doesn't have the essence of a gourmet, then it is a failure" he semi-shouted, just enough so Alice can hear him.

Alice smiled and gave Ryo a cold glare "I am already pissed off, so don't make me even more pissed with your stupid comments, B-Ryo." Said Alice. B-Ryo was her nickname for Ryo in his berserker form "You know pretty well, that these machines are not only to make my dish pretty but to generate the best possible ingredients to make the pancakes I want, no matter what, the flour made by my machines is far better than those who are made by the old and rusty one you have there" she smirked at Ryo and waved at him as she went to pick the bag of flour that her machine-made.

"Hurry up B-Ryo, or you will lose," she said as she put the flour in a bowl with a pinch of salt and sugar

'The time of me Cecily relying on tools is over...' She thought 'If I ever wanted to be beside him, this is the least I need to do, I can be a much better chef than the me right now.'

Ryo smirked evilly as he pulled out his flour bag and started baking, he can't afford to lose, not anymore, if he wants to surpass Alice and go beyond her, he needs to give it his all!

In the waiting room, Alexander yawned as he watched the battle between Ryo and Alice, he then shifted his gaze at his friend there who was sitting beside him on the couch while looking down, still not over his loss.

"What is wrong, Takumi?" Asked Alexander

Takumi sighed and clenched his sleeves tightly "I still can't believe I lost, my cack was absolutely better, I don't believe that mine was inferior to his" he said

Alexander shifted his gaze at the screen to continue watching "There were 5 judges, you got two votes, the most important votes of the judges...." He said Takumi frowned "A loss is still a loss, no matter who voted for me." He said

"True, you lost, Soma's cake was complex and unexpected with different colorful flavors, that complexity blinded the other judges into thinking that it was a better cake than yours..." Said Alexander, he sighed and continued "yours was honestly plain in it's look, its most outstanding feature is the tower-like shape, as they say, the eye eats first. The judges were attracted to the pretty and complex flavor of Soma's dish and discarded your simple but yet strong flavor."

"But that didn't affect the strong veterans of the front lines, they were able to grasp the pureness of your cake and those gave you their votes"

Takumi thought deeply about the matter, but no matter what, he will not make excuses for his loss

"Besides, after this is over, go challenge him to a Shokugeki and beat his ass then," said Alexander with a shrug

Takumi suddenly stood up "That's it!!!" He shouted, he turned and left the room in a hurry "I will go challenge him now!!" He said before his voice faded in the hallway

"Take care!" Alexander said lazily as he adjusted his sitting position and stretched his legs and more to watch the battle between his fiancée and her aide.

The door was openers and someone entered, Alexander didn't bother to check who it was, who would even come to his waiting room other than his friends?

The person who entered came behind Alexander and covered his eyes "Guess who am I?" A sweet and lovely voice came from the redheaded princess when she covered Alexander's eyes

"I don't know...maybe I will know if you let me see." Said Alexander not bothering to play along

"Moo! So mean, and here I came to say hi to my dear and soon to be husband" said the red princess as she jumped on the couch and sat beside Alexander.

This red princess was none other than Kobayashi Rindo herself
