The famous Fall Election had come into season at Totsuki, and what did that mean? Tons of good food! And...tons of rivalries.

The theme for the preliminaries was Curry, and that certainly put Akira Hayama ahead.

After a nice one month summer break spent perfecting recipes, school resumed as usual and the Fall Election kicked into gear.

At the beginning, it didn't look great. There were five judges, each able to give up to 20 points for a total of 100. Yet, so far...nobody had scored over 25! It seemed hopeless, but the ones to watch in A Block- your block-, Sōma Yukihira, Ryo Kurokiba, Akira Hayama, and...well, you, hadn't presented their dishes yet.

Currently, Akira was showcasing his Naan Pot Pie Curry and it seemed like the judges were loving it. Then, up on the screen...

Yui: "Akira Hayama is in 1st Place with 93 points!!!"

Akira: "Expected..." He says with a nod and nonchalant air.
