Ye Han was Senzaemon's backup plan, Someone who could change someone's belief by their food creation and also lecturing in a form of scolding. That is what he tasted from his cooking, a change in mind for the greater good *cough! Dumbledore!* and also a damn delicious food that is better than Joichiro's creations. Ye Han coordinated with Gin, Saiba and Senzaemon about the training schedule since they have 2 days before they arrived at the so called Shokugeki location. He forgot that this arc became a shokugeki against Central so he had to redo some of his plans.
Firstly the fighting between two alumni and four students happened, Ye Han and Senzaemon became the acting judge but the four students would be the one to judge their enemy's food. Ye Han looks at the 3 idio*cough* cooks, Erina, Soma and Saiba. Soma and Erina were fighting while Gin, Todoroki and Takumi were handling it like a beast. Ye Han looks at Senzaemon and said his statement bluntly.
"Your family really have something in common."
"*Hmmn* What is it?"
"Stupidity."
"*hmn Cough*What made you think about that?"
"Well, first thing is you all think alike and you and your family are not caring enough to make good decisions for the better good for your grand daughter."
"Well, I don"
"Hold up, I'm not done speaking. Second is from a psychological perspective, if you know that your son in law is bad sh*t crazy. Why in god's name do you let him continue on his sh*tty regime, third is something you should have understand. I call you all a disappointment and irresponsible. If you all so knowledgeable and understanding , why didn't you let your family go to a doctor and get a check up for mutated Hypersensitive Tongue and find a cure or invest in a cure."
Ye Han continued his reasoning which made Senzaemon felt a lot of critical hits, he would have continued until Senzaemon would have cough out blood from all that reasoning. But the competitors had already finished which gave Senzaemon a chance from stop hearing positive reasoning from Ye Han. Senzaemon coughs as he spoke while Ye Han muttered quietly "Tsk, Irresponsible old man".
"*cough* Time's up! Both Teams, Serve your dish! Now, we will taste the Hachis Parmentier or I would like to say. But this time, you four will decide the outcome!"
"EH?" -the four students
"This match will conclude with both sides tasting their dishes!" -Ye Han continued Senzaemon's statement
Senzaemon sigh as Ye Han took the words out of his mouth, Ye Han smirks as he got the old man in a corner. he waive his hand which made Gin and Saiba take out another copy of the dish for them to try it out. Ye Han look at the colorful hachis parmentiers, they all took a bite at the same time as wonderful color of jazz and painting appeared in their imagination. It was a step by step music in Gin's team which made the italian soffritto inside combine the taste while at Saiba's team it was the wild creativeness of the taste of meat cube's juiciness and the taste of the fish. It was a good combination, but for Ye Han it was not enough. He sigh in disappointment, since the dish was not at it's peak while Senzaemon noticed his expression which made him question what was missing. Ye Han spoke as he looks at his students.
"So, now that we taste the dish. Point out the winner!"
Soma and Erina pointed to Takumi and Tadokoro which Takumi and Tadokoro pointed at Soma and Erina which made Erina and Soma surprise while all the alumni and acting judge knew their answers. They began to fight with argument on how the other team have won.
"Meat sauce is basically the ground beef stew. your dish, the meat sauce constitute a firm foundation of flavor. The soffritto made the meat sauce more sweeter than it should be, the dish is like a jazz session where the harmony and symphony quietly shine. " -Erina
"I'm not convince! what about the representation of the three main components of your dish! Which opened the new possibility of flavors!" -Takumi
They continued to rebuke themselves as Ye Han clap his hand as he looks at them with a smile and said
"Alright we have no time for fighting, we have time for teaching. Its time for my lecturing and your harsh training! clean up the dishes!"
He ordered them which made them flinch and started cleaning the dirty dishes, Saiba and Gin sighed as they became a side character while Senzaemon also sighed as he didn't get to tease his grand daughter. Ye Han interupt their moments so that they will have time to improve within this 2 days as the last day would be their break before the shokugeki. Ye Han made them do the basics of cooking for 2 hours which made them dead tired since he made them redo everything should they not make the exact cuts. Saiba and Gin felt relief that they are not students anymore, they felt that if Ye Han was their teacher. They wouldn't even graduate well not like Saiba who really didn't graduate but still ended up becoming famous around the world as the traveling chef.
Never the less it was a torturing experiences for the students for this two days as Ye Han did a check up on Erina's tongue. Erina blushes as Ye Han check her tongue while touching it with a surgical gloves, this is the first time for someone to touch her tongue and it was a man. But this blushes only lasted a few minutes until she saw Ye Han's serious expression. He was pondering types of ways to cure it. Erina and Senzaemon were shock as they heard Ye Han's statement.
"I know the cure for your irregular sensitive tongue so would you like me to turn it into a normal one? "
