The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

A/N: This is the last chapter of anything related to Food Wars. Honestly, I tried. I have simply forced myself to write this chapter. The quality of the chapters of Autumn Elections is very poor and anyone would notice that I simply mauled through the last part of this chapter so that I could just finish it.

I don't know what I am going to do about Alice, I might choose a completely new girl like Nelliel or someone. That's it...!! I am washing my hands from Food Wars!!

-----------------------------------

[Block B]

"This can't be happening"

"There must be some type of conspiracy going on in here"

"Utterly ridiculous!! I don't believe it!" .

Several students screamed in protest when they noticed that a second student had been awarded 100 points. And the said student has even predicted her score. This was simply unrealistic.

"Hundred Points!! Someone has been awarded a hundred points for the second time!! At first, I thought that Luna Lovegood was someone who was simply overconfident but she was simply confident about her dish!" the mic girl yelled excitedly.

A lot of students were giving Luna a complicated look but she wasn't bothered by any of them. She was simply humming some random song with an innocent look on her face while rocking the chair. The whole scene was simply unreal.

It took the Totsuki staff several minutes to calm down all the students so that they could continue with the remaining students. After Luna it was Tadokoro Megumi's turn. Only two students were still left after Luna.

Tadokoro Megumi meekly approached the Judge's table. "It's okay Tadokoro-Chan, you have grown a lot. You need to hold strong" Isshiki Satoshi said reassuringly. Tadokoro Megumi nodded her head and placed the dishes on the Judge's table.

"I have prepared Monkfish Curry. I have worked very hard on it, please don't hesitate" Tadokoro Megumi said in a shaking tone.

The judges didn't know what to make of her nervousness but they still decided to give the dish a try. After all, it was their duty as a judge. They have noticed her hard work when she was working on the Monkfish.

The Judges took a small bite and they were immediately impressed by the dish. They had never expected such a dish when they saw her working on the Monkfish. The dish was truly impressive.

The judges awarded Tadokoro Megumi with a total of 88 points.

Tadokoro almost cried when she saw her score. She never expected such a high score and currently, she was the 7th highest. There was only one student left, Tadokoro knew that she had qualified for the main tournament.

People from her hometown started to cheer loudly when they reached the same conclusion. The mic girl finally announced Nat's name and Nat started to make her way towards the Judge's table.

"I have prepared Spicy Malvani Chicken Curry, please give it a try" Nat said with a smile as she placed the dishes on the judge's table. This was the last dish and honestly, they didn't know what to expect but the aroma of the food said otherwise.

All five of them swallowed their saliva as they took the bite and they found themselves in a completely different world. No… it was more like a dimension for them. As they kept eating the dish, they found that they no longer wanted to return to the normal world.

But the reality was cruel and as soon as they finished the dish, they found themselves back in the real world. They simply looked at each other and nodded their heads. There was only one thing they could have done now.

They awarded Natasha Romanoff 100 points.

For the third time, the whole venue became completely silent. No one tried to make any type of protest. They were simply too stunned to react in any manner.

Nat went back to her station and she looked towards the scoreboard. The scoreboard was finalized and the results were up for everyone to see.

¦1st:- Momo Yaoyorozu- 100 points¦

¦1st:- Luna Lovegood- 100 points¦

¦1st:- Natasha Romanoff- 100 points¦

¦2nd:- Nakiri Alice- 96 points¦

¦3rd:- Takumi Aldini- 93 points¦

¦4th:- Hisako Arato- 92 points¦

¦5th:- Houjou Miyoko- 88 points¦

¦5th:- Tadokoro Megumi- 88 points¦

These were the 8 students who had been selected for the main tournament and only their names were being displayed on the main scoreboard. A lot of students clenched their fists as they swore to work hard.

The rest of the five students started to see the 100 pointers like they were walls they needed to overcome if they wanted to improve their cooking.

With that the preliminary round of Block B came to an end… today three students have created history in the venue of Block B.

Never in the history of Autumn Elections, something like this had happened. Nobody has been awarded a hundred points in the preliminary rounds until today…

[Block A]

'I wonder if she is going to give anyone something more than zero' Ororo mused as Natsume Sendawara rewarded another student with zero points.

'Dora isn't doing much better though… she is also giving something in between 1-5, nothing more than that' Jean muttered.

'Then the dishes are really bad…' Fleur pointed out and both Ororo and Jean hummed in agreement.

'Oh… isn't that Alice's bipolar aide?' Fleur asked when she noticed that the mic girl had announced Kurokiba Ryu's name.

'Yep… that's the guy. He is somewhat scared of me' Ororo mused but decided to see the confrontation of Kurokiba Ryu with the judges. He was no longer in his violent persona.

He placed down the plates on the Judge's table with a bored look on his face, the judges frowned at the display. "Go on, give it a try" Kurokiba said in a bored and sleepy tone.

It didn't take the judges too long to notice the strange fragrance. "Ohhh… what do we have here?" Dora put down her phone and asked excitedly.

Kurokiba Ryu didn't give her an answer as he was trying not to fall asleep. The judges ignored him as many chefs had eccentric personalities. They took the first bite and their eyes grew wide in surprise.

"Ah, finally a notable dish. I am impressed" Dora said as she took another bite.

After hearing Dora's words, Natsume decided that she needed to speak up too, so she started to explain the dish in detail. Nakiri Erina was impressed, she was watching the preliminary round from the VIP box.

The judges were finally about to give the scores but Kurokiba Ryu stopped them and started to search his pockets. Kurokiba Ryu looked around and sighed. He finally found his bandana and tied it around his head.

His whole persona changed as he entered his berserk mode. He presented the judges with 5 cognac-filled droppers. He demanded that the judges empty the droppers inside the lobster's head and slurp down its contents.

"That's indecent!!" Natsume Sendawara protested but she noticed slurping sounds from beside her and noticed that Dora was already slurping down the contents of the lobster's head.

"This ish sooo good" Dora said with a blissful look on her face. Natsume noticed that the other judges were also doing the same. Unable to hold back herself she gives in to the temptation.

After the judges finished eating the dish, they awarded Kurokiba Ryu with a total of 93 points, shocking everyone present inside the room.

Kurokiba Ryu was immediately catapulted to the first position. This wasn't something surprising at the highest score until this point was only 33. Next Mito Ikumi's name was announced and she had prepared some sort of Don Curry.

The judges awarded her a total of 86 points.

The mic girl finally announced Jean's name and she was already making her way towards the Judge's table. She gently placed down the plates on the table.

"I have prepared Spicy Coconut Ramen Curry, please give it a try" Jean said in a polite tone. The judges picked up the spoon. Dora gave a small grin just before she placed the spoon inside her mouth.

The reaction was instantaneous. The judges felt their bodies being filled with energy and vitality. They immediately understood that this was a Medicinal type of Curry. But that wasn't all… the dish was much more than that.

The judges didn't even need to communicate with each other and they simply gave her 100 points, shocking the whole venue. Nobody moved or reacted… Some students even pinched themselves wondering if they were dreaming.

"Impossible!"

"There must be some sort of trick"

"Yes, I must be dreaming"

A lot of students reacted in such a manner because they couldn't comprehend how someone was able to get 100 points. Even Nakiri Erina was shocked and silent.

The Totsuki staff had to intervene so that the judges could continue with the tournament. Ryoko Sasaki was the next candidate. She presented her dish to the judges and the judges were quite surprised by her ingenuity.

They awarded her a total of 86 points.

Next was Zenji Marui and he was awarded 88 points by the judges.

The next candidate was Ororo Munroe and she was also given 100 points.

Followed by her Shun Ibuskai's dish was given 89 points.

Then it was Hayama Akira's turn and he had made a fragrance bomb. He was awarded 94 points.

The next candidate was Yukihira Soma and after some effort, he was able to recognize Dora. "Ohh!! You are that woman who I had told about attending Totsuki" Soma yelled when he recognized Dora.

Dora cackled after hearing his words. "Yes… that time I didn't get to taste your dish so I decided to pay a visit now" Dora chuckled as she picked up the spoon.

Yukihira Soma had also prepared a fragrance bomb just like Hayama Akira and he was rewarded by 93 points.

Finally, it was Fleur's turn and she was also awarded 100 points by the judges…

And lastly, Mimasaka Subaru was announced, he was the last to present his dish. The judges awarded him 90 points.

With that, the preliminary round of the Autumn Elections came to an end…

¦1st:- Ororo Munroe- 100 points¦

¦1st:- Fleur Delacour- 100 points¦
