Chapter 181 - Food pills (1/2)

*A few years ago*

[ Megumi POV]

”Megumi I can't believe your leaving your mother and I...it seems like yesterday you were a toddler”

Megumi: grandpa you don't need to worry about me

” Sure enough your food is like the best we ever have”

” I just know you'll make it in the big city

A group of girls her age started complimenting her

”I hope you'll get settled, it will give you good luck”

Her mother gives her a good luck charm

Megumin: t-thank you

Thanks, everyone. I know I'll become a great chef someday. Then I'll come back home

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

*present*

Megumi is looking at a bunch of report cards all with E on it and a couple F

{ In the Japanese grading system contains an E which is above Failing}

The final one was a letter saying the final notice. Should she receive another E or F she will be expelled

Megumi: Megumi Todokoro At the beginning of my first-year high school, I'm at the edge of a cliff...

huh, that boy said something about helping students advance...but he is on everyone's bad side...right?

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

I am paired with this guy...in our cooking class...

I talk to myself that maybe if this guy is good maybe he can..no he may be a bad choice to be near because I hear lots of eyes of people having issues with him

aww I'm getting nervous...what if I fail because I'm pared with him

I start trying to do some charms to make me feel better when

Sanji: So your name is Megumi right

I nod

Sanji: so is that a precooking ritual?

Megumi: well I thought it would help me not be so nervious

Sanji: nervous? why?

Megumi: because If I end up with one more failing grade then I'm going to be expelled

Sanji: (some Lawyers throw up before a case)

Sanji comes close to me and stares at me...why is he staring at me...he then sniffs me

Sanji: I like you...I like your smell...

huh did he just confess to me

Sanji: I'm excited about this class, I want to get to know you better...I feel strangly attracted to you

He did confess to me! who says that stuff...wait not time to think about that...I can't mess up

Suddenly the teacher comes in

Teacher: attention, time to learn my little apprentices

Class except for Sanji: Good morning master chef

Megumi nervous says: that is chef Laurent Chappel

Teacher the moment you step forth in the kitchen you're expected to produce extraordinary food, regardless of your gastronomy experience. Know your pedigree in life. My class rules are very strict. Any dish that isn't viewed an A will be a failure

Megumi: (are you kidding me...why is my first class with him)

Sanji: he looks kind of familiar...

Megumi: he is known as the strictest teacher and even failed students in his lectures he

Sanji: oh that's right that's Uncle Laren. Uncle Laren*he waves

Teacher: huh, wait a second is that you? Little Ryo

Sanji: well I'm going by Sanji now

he walks to him

Teacher: so your in this class now
