A few days later, the graduation ceremony, which was originally a day to distribute the first semester transcripts and look forward to the summer vacation with excitement, has another special meaning for Totsuki Academy, that is, the list of contestants for the autumn selection.
It will be officially announced on this day!
In the college square, a large bulletin board is covered with a larger white cloth.
"Hurry up! It's going to be announced today!..." Students in the square gathered in groups towards the bulletin board.
The white cloth was lifted.
"Ah! Didn't you get selected? You failed!!..." Many of the students who saw it quickly became dejected.
"Where am I? Where am I?!" Yuji jumped in the crowd while looking at the bulletin board.
"I found it!" Ryoko shouted, pointing to the names of the two people on the bulletin board.
"That's great!! We were chosen!" Yuji also saw it, she cried with joy and hugged Ryoko.
"Ah!! It hurts!!" Ryoko shouted.
A certain girl was so excited that Shi Ke probably hurt her ribs.
"Oh... you two were chosen. That's amazing!" Xingping nodded beside him.
"Now there are six people from the Pole Star Dormitory participating in the battle." Jun Imusaki said calmly.
At this time, someone walked by, it was the yellow-haired little brother Takmi Aldini. "Hmph! It seems that I have a chance to confront you before Shokugeki! Yukihira!"
"Oh! Meimei, you are also selected!" Yukihira was greeting Mito Yumei.
"Yukihira...! Yes! Yes!" Mito Yumei's face turned red, her eyes looking everywhere, but she was too embarrassed to meet Yukihira.
"By the way. Takomi too? Let's work hard together!" Xinghei noticed Takomi.
"Don't...don't ask me by the way when you're asking other people!!" Tuckermi was so angry that her hands were shaking.
"Oh huh huh..." Isami, who had been following Takmi for ten thousand years, was having a hard time holding back his laughter.
"Don't laugh, Isami!!" Takmi was a little angry and tired!
Not far away, "Let me see..., oh, my name is also on it." Alice Chi's follower Ryo Kurokiba, who spoke slowly, said while looking at the bulletin board.
"That's necessary! It would be too embarrassing if my cronies were not selected, wouldn't it?" Alice on the side put her hands on her hips, "If you lose to me in the preliminary round, I won't care about you!"
"No problem, I will show off my energy. Even if my opponent is you, Miss, I will show off my determination to win."
"Uh...!" Alice's face suddenly bulged with anger, and her head swelled.
"..., what's your expression?" Kurokiba Ryo remained calm, he must be used to it.
"Pah, pah, pah, pah..." Alice patted Kurokiba Ryo's shoulder, "What's this? You don't respect me too much! Learn more from Erina's secretary!"
"
"Don't I always respect you?"
"No! Not respectful enough!!"
"Oh? You are Kiri's cousin..." Yukihira and his party were about to go back and met two people. Two of Yukihira and his party had changed their style to simple figures. They were Aoki Daigo and Sato Shoji. These two live treasures had no choice.
on, deeply affected.
"Oh! Soma-kun Yukihira! How are you?" Alice turned her head and said.
"Um...can you stop for a moment! It looks painful. Does it hurt you too? Miss Alice." Shi Ke pointed at Alice's hand that kept patting Kurokiba Ryo's shoulders.
"Oops. It hurts. It's all your fault, Kurokiba-kun." Alice stopped and waved her hand.
"Alas..." Kurokiba Ryo turned his head and sighed helplessly. He was tired of having to deal with such a master.
Sister, you are the one who is hitting me, okay?
"Hey... why do you feel that famous people are slowly gathering around Shi Ke and Yukihei?" Yuki said softly.
"Xinghei's ability to make friends is very good. Shi Ke-kun must be because of his strength. But when did they meet?" Ryoko complained a little.
"By the way! I need to report to Miss Fumio." Yuji took out her mobile phone.
"She will be happy to say that the golden age of Pole Star Dormitory has arrived again!" Ryoko said cheerfully.
"Well... what do a and b mean?" Xingping thought of something and looked at the bulletin board again.
"Nine times out of ten, it's divided into groups and venues. It's a bit crowded for all sixty people to compete in one venue." Shi Ke said, touching his chin.
"Dear classmates!! Hello!!" The host's voice came from high in the sky.
Shi Ke looked up and saw that it was Rei Kawashima. She was sitting in the basket of the crane, with dry ice spray all around her feet.
"I'm the emcee for the fall selection... Rei Kawashima!! Yeah!" Rei Kawashima made a scissor hand gesture, looking cute.
"Oh oh oh oh! Xiaoli!" A group of wolves howled in the square.
"To all the students who were selected, congratulations first! The formal notice will be sent to you later. Let me briefly explain the format of the competition!! You can clearly see on the notice board that sixty students have been selected.
They are evenly divided into two groups, A and B. During the selection, the two groups A and B will conduct qualifiers within their respective groups, and then the top-ranked players will get the right to participate in the official knockout rounds!!"
"It seems I guessed right." Shi Ke said.
"Yeah." Xingping nodded.
"Then, here are the words that Executive Committee Member of Operations Eizan Etsuya-senpai asked me to convey to you." Rei Kawashima said.
"Huh? Have you made a move?" Shi Ke smiled dismissively.
"..." Xingping raised his eyebrows.
"There will be many VIPs... and Taishan Beidou in the culinary world as guests. This is an excellent opportunity to show off your skills."
Hearing this, the students in the square were excited.
"But..., if you dare to make dishonorable dishes on such occasions, your future as a chef will disappear in that moment!"
A basin of cold water poured on the crowd in the square instantly silenced them.
"Anyway, keep working hard!! I'm done! Yeah!" Rei Kawashima ended in a cute way.
"Anyway, I have no choice but to fight!! I must try my best to win!!" Under heavy pressure, there will always be people who break through themselves.
"Congratulations on your selection. However, it is inevitable to be selected based on your level." In the nearby teaching building, Erina was looking at the noisy crowd in the square.
"Well! I will definitely give good results and live up to my status as Miss Erina's confidant! And... please don't worry, I will take care of Soma Yukihira!" The little secretary on the side patted his chest.
Speaking of.
"Uh~~~~" When she mentioned Yukihira, Erina's whole body felt bad. She was lying on the window sill as if she was speechless until she died.
"Ah!!! I'm so sorry~! It's my fault for talking too much!!" the little secretary said awkwardly.
"Phew! I don't want him anymore. Hisako, be careful. The stone guest in your group is a monster. Let's save the top four first." Erina flipped her hair and said helplessly.
"Miss..." the little secretary Fei Shasha was a little hurt.
"Besides him, you just need to pay attention to Alice. After all, she is my sister. Try to secure the top four first. I wouldn't be surprised if you lose to the two of them in the knockout round. They are indeed very strong, especially
Shike, the senior Kuuga whom Shike defeated was not a weak parallel import. Of course, if you can win, I will be very happy. That means you have caught up with me!"
"Yes!! Miss Erina!! I will definitely work hard!" the little secretary was in high spirits.
"I have to work hard. Guys like Shi Ke are indeed worth defeating with all my strength. As for Yukihira Soma, I am far above him." Erina thought to herself.
The Alice duo joined Shi Ke and his group and found a place to sit down and chat.
"Aren't you going to participate?" Xingping asked.
"Yes. Every autumn selection is fully handled by the Totsuki Jijie. In other words, Erina is the organizer." Alice said.
"Um……"
"Ah! The showdown with Erina has to be postponed again..." Alice was unhappy.
"Haha..." Shi Ke smiled slightly and said, "Alice, I'm in the same group as you."
"Are you going to challenge me?" Alice bared her teeth (oo).
"..." Shi Ke's mouth twitched, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Oh ho ho ho..." Alice sat on the bench and laughed wildly.
"The young lady is still as ignorant as ever. He and Miss Erina may be on the same level, but they are not opponents that can be defeated casually." Kurokiba Ryo said slightly faster.
"I know. I'm not even afraid of Erina, so there's no reason why I should be afraid of Shike-kun, right?" Alice spread her hands (oo).
"Well... what you said makes sense." Everyone nodded, speechless.
"Shike-kun, Yukihira-kun, do you still remember what I told you after I finished two hundred copies during the training camp?" Alice stood up from the bench.
"Remember." Shi Ke and Xing Ping nodded.
"That's good. Do you know? Shi Ke-kun, Xing Ping-kun, almost all the top ten players of this session are the players who stood out in the autumn selection competition and entered the official competition. This means that the next generation of top ten players will also be in the official competition of this selection competition."
Born among the top ten players, so conversely, if you don’t win here, there will be no future. I wish you could come earlier when you compete with me and Erina for the position of the top ten. Shike-kun,
Although you rejected Grandpa's invitation to join the Top Ten last time, if you really want to be the number one recognized by this college, then become the Top Ten. You are very strong, I know that. For you
, there are many opportunities to become one of the top ten." Alice waved her hand and left.
"Haha... I just don't want to take on too many responsibilities right now. It would be too tiring. Of course, if one day I need the power of the Ten Heroes, I will naturally fight for it. After all, power and responsibility are equal.
"
"Then I hope that day comes sooner, but don't think about defeating me casually. Let's go." Alice smiled and walked away with Kurokiba Ryo waving.
"Bye." Shi Ke also waved.
In the Jiexing dormitory, "Touch the shrimp, touch the shrimp...Touch the shrimp, touch the shrimp...Touch the shrimp, touch the shrimp..." Mrs. Wenxu mopped the floor while singing an inexplicable song, which sounded quite magical.
A large banner was hung on the wall in the hall downstairs, with slogans celebrating Autumn's selection written on it.
"The golden age is resurrected! We need to celebrate tonight." Mrs. Wenxu muttered happily.
Ding dong!!Ding dong!!
Doorbell rang.
Mrs. Wenxu went over and opened the door. She was slightly startled when she saw the person outside the door, and grumbled with relief, "...Since you are coming back, at least you have to make a call in advance. It really hasn't changed at all.
Still so devoid of common sense! Seiichiro."
"Mrs. Wenxu, you haven't changed at all. Well...because I just happened to be nearby...I'm back." The handsome old man with long hair at the door said, he is the boss.
