"Ladies and gentlemen! The council has certified this match as an official cooking battle! I am Kawashima Urara, a first year in the high school division." said Kawashima.

She smiled at the audience with a bright pink sparkly atmosphere around her.

"I'll be your host for this event!" said Kawashima with a wink.

""Super cute!"' said the fanboys.

However, Miku didn't deny it, she was pretty cute. With the long black hair, the cute voice that fit her, and the skirt exposed her thighs. Truly a sight but there was a dark atmosphere behind the fanboys.

Mira chuckled at the sight, it was truly a sight to see. 

"The contestants will now be making their entrances from those corners!"

"The first one to enter is the Meat Master,  MITO IKUMI!" said Kawashima.

As Mito took off her cloack, her blonde hair along with her chocolate skin was exposed along with her brown melons bouncing up and down. Seriously, it was eye candy for everyone. 

"All right, here's the other contestant, Yukihira Soma!"

"Die, dipshit!"

"Die, transfer student!"

"I still remember the shit you pulled at the entrance ceremony!"

Miku couldn't help but start laughing at the students who were talking behind her. The moment Souma's name was mentioned and he came out, he was being hated on.

It was truly funny.

Miku, who was in the front seats, couldn't hear the other talks and instead focused on the 3 figures coming out. Between Souma was Megumi and Don. The entire stadium was filled with boos as Megumi looked too scared to talk while Soma and Konishi had confused expressions. 

"And now here are the terms of this match! There will be 3 matches and the theme will be don. The main ingredient will be meat!' said Kawashima.

The crowd cheered as Mito held a confident smile, but Miku was only focusing on her melons feeling a bit jealous.

"If Mito wins, the Donburi Research Society will be shut down, and Yukihira-kun will be expelled! If Yukihira-kun wins, the Don RS's budget will be increased and their cooking facilities will be renovated. Finally, Mito-san will join Don RS!" announced Kawashima.

If not for the hatred that was filled in the air that was for Soma, the intensity of the battle couldn't be ignored if you were a skilled cook. By the faces of the people behind Miku, she could tell not everyone was skilled.

But hey, being a skilled cook is just not for anyone.

In the higher area, there stood Nakiri Erina along with Hisako Arato. 

Everyone's attention now focused on the two as everyone had shocked expressions. Everyone was wondering why the God's Tongue was here just for a simple cooking match, however, Miku knew why. After the examination Soma and I participated in, Erina would definitely take an interest in us both and this is just one of the times.

With a signal, the match started.

Soma and Mito went to their stations and prepared their utensils and ingredients.

At the start, Mito brought out her meat, it was an A5 beef. Mito started slashing at the beef with her cleaver with skill and accuracy, she was basically glistening as she was cutting the beef. 

It was impressive, a cleaver made for butchering meat as as well as severing the tendons with precision using the big knife. What's more was that her strength was commendable. In just a few moments, she was able to cut the beef. The meat was now on a pan with fine marbling and the glistening of the meat and fat was unbelievable.

Miku, who was a cook that was skilled in a variety of foods, couldn't help but be surprised too. It wasn't the skill of hers that was surprising, it was her strength, to be able to cut the large chunk of meat that easily required muscles.

Did she work out?

That questioned lingered in her mind as she watched Mito. The first thing Mito did was searing the meat while basting it with butter. The rich scent of the butter filled the area has everyone took a sniff, they all looked embarrassing was what Miku thought.

They were down bad just for a whiff of butter, she could never understand the people she was crowded with. 

Mito now built a wall around the meat to trap the juices inside, the next thing she did was putting the meat in the oven and cooking it all the way through. But her spotlight wasn't going to stay for long. 

Focusing on Soma who was cutting up ingredients with precision and speed. Miku smiled at the sight. It's been a while since she's seen Soma cook seriously. He just now finished mincing a large number of onions. 

"What could Yukihira-kun be planning with them?" announced Kawashima.

Miku already knew the answer to her question, after all, she's seen all of Soma's cooking. When Soma took out his 700 yen meat, everyone went silent and deadpanned Soma. 

They all started throwing stuff and spat hate lines towards Soma.

Miku smiled at the sight, although the meat might not be as good as Mito's A5 wagyu meat, Soma's cooking would definitely make the meat seem like it came from a rich restaurant in a one of the fanciest places.

From what Miku observed, Mito's foundation ability came from her ability to measure the temperature of the meat with her lips. Along with her delicate sensibility while she was handling the meat. 

While Miku was watching, her perfect memory had unconsciously been implanting all of Mito and Soma's steps into her mind. She was able to take the line, "Copying and Making it better" to a whole different level.

Soon enough, they both finished their dish as well as Miku finished memorizing their recipes. 

"Mito's dish will go first." said Kawashima. 

Mito placed the bowl down in front of the judges and lifted the top.

"This is my "Roti" Don made with A5 wagyu beef." 

Revealing a stack of beef piling on top of the rice. 

""Thank you for the food."" 

The 3 judges took a bite as they all had blissful expressions and their faces turned red. The wagyu beef along with the butter that was in the beef made the beef more delicious than it should be. Also taking note of the petals and the perfect heat temperature of the meat, it was a superb and fancy dish. 

"Now it's Yukihira-kun's turn. What would you name your dish?" asked Kawashima.

"Hmm, how about Yukihira style Chaliapin Steak Don?" replied Soma. 

The 3 bowls were placed in front of the judges who had doubting expressions. But that all came to an end when they took a bite, they didn't say anything as they kept digging in.

Miku already knew the winner to this one, there was no need to stay back and watch. Getting up from her seat, she went to one of the exits and started walking down the hallways.

As she was walking, she came into contact with someone.

"You didn't stay?" asked Rindo.

Looking over, "There's no need to, Soma had already won."

"If you say that then it must be true. I wonder when I can have a cooking battle with you though." said Rindo.

Her reptile eyes were shining as she said that.

"Never." replied Miku.

All of Rindo's hope disappeared when Miku said that.

"Eh?"

"What would I wager?"

"Hmm, how about your expulsion?" asked Rindo.

"Would my expulsion be equal to your second seat? I think not, now bye bye."

Before Rindo could say anything else, Miku had already walked away.

"*Sigh* Truly, you still haven't changed." muttered Rindo.

Miku now laid on her pillow as she stared into the wooden ceiling.

"A Shokugeki, I might as well do it..."
