The WGO has officially gotten word about the BLUE.

According to the announcement, three representatives from Totsuki Academy may enter.

What we need to figure out is who those three are going to be.

All right! I'm gonna do it!

It's the competition that my dad was supposed to be in, and I'm the first seat!

Hush your mouth!

Since the three who'll fill the spots were not appointed by the WGO,

we will let the whole school compete for them, as we should.

Oh? Are you planning on competing in the BLUE?

I've been invited outside of those three spots.

Decided

I'm already competing.

What? No fair!

I can't blame you for finding that unfair.

But I must compete in the BLUE no matter what.

So if I compete in the BLUE, I'll be able to compete against you too, Nakiri.

Elite Ten Meeting Room

I'm the one who's gonna compete in the BLUE!

It doesn't look like they'll be picking from the top-ranking Elite Ten.

Well, if it was determined by dirty money, Eizan'd have no competition.

And if we were going by the shrimpiest, you'd reign supreme, Kuga.

I guess we'll have to figure out a way we're all satisfied with.

We have to prepare for the Autumn Elections, too, so we don't have much time.

So who are we going to pick, and how?

Yeah.

Of course, Erina-sama has already figured this out.

I will be participating, as well.

All will be settled the day after tomorrow in what I call...

the BLUE Preliminaries.

Talk about weird.

I never thought I'd be competing with you this way.

All right, let's get started.

Totsuki Academy • Preliminaries Arena

Now, now, now, now!

The BLUE Preliminaries

The BLUE Preliminaries

The BLUE Preliminaries have begun!

This is a cooking competition for the three spots to compete in the BLUE,

the world-renowned competition that every chef wants to be in!

It doesn't matter if you get into the top three by sheer luck! You still get to go!

The judges will be people of all ages.

Each one will be scoring each dish up to ten points.

The three chefs with the highest scores will get to compete in the BLUE.

The head judge is the Head Chef of Totsuki Resort,

Dojima Gin!

As usual, I won't be pulling any punches in my judging.

I'm glad to hear it, Chef Dojima.

You may use whatever ingredients you'd like. The theme is soup.

All participants must finish their dish within the allotted time.

Soup

I wish you all the best of luck.

And now... begin cooking!

All of the participating students are coming up

with elaborate plans as they prepare their dishes.

Will some of the notable chefs from each grade

be able to create a soup that qualifies for the top three?!

On the name of Aldini...

I can't lose, no matter what. For the future!

I'm the one who's gonna win!

Congrats on the Huge Haul

For everyone back at home and Mom...

Charm for Academic Success

For everyone's sake...

I'm definitely gonna go!

And I'm done!

Ta-da! Red Riding Hood-Style Gibier Soup!

Little Red Riding Hood-Style Gibier Soup

How exhilarating!

It's good, but spicy.

I used the umami of several game meats and added some cayenne peppers.

I got inspiration from Rindo-senpai and Megishima-senpai's dishes

at the Team Shokugeki.

Strength that comes from her innocence and her years of diligence...

Right now, you're an invincible Little Red Riding Hood!

My dish is Koji Tofu Soup.

Koji Tofu Soup

I went for a yosenabe that allows you to enjoy a wide variety of tofu.

I'm going to melt!

How pleasant, glorious, and splendid!

As expected of the Sakaki family, masters of fermented foods.

Soy! Soy! Soy! Soy! Soy! Soy!

What is this?

It's supposed to be tom yum kung...

...but it tastes like borscht!

And I smell shark fin.

Yes. I've combined the world's top three soups into one.

I used three main ingredients

You've always been so quiet and secretive, but now you're diving into society.

You've grown so much, Prince of Smoke!

You'll find rice at the bottom of the soup.

Which would make this...

A dish that uses A5-rank beef to go along with flavors commoners are used to.

Excellent work, Mito-san.
