Chapter 7- (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Soma was walking down the road within Totsuki Academy as the man looked tired, and sweat drenched his clothes.

"Damn this place is huge." Soma shouted as he had been walking non stop just to get to the dorm his father told him off.

'Polar Star Dorm? Do we even have such a dorm?' The words of the facility manager rang in his mind as Soma had been trying to find the dorm since this morning.

"Fucking old man, I'm going to kill him." Soma said as an image of his father appeared in the sky with a smug grin "Where the hell is this Polar Star Dorm?!" He shouted out as he furiously stomped off.

As Soma continued walking trying to find the dorm, a black limo stopped in front of him.

"Soma?!" A voice called out from within the limo, the window slid down and it revealed to be Erina.

"Erina?!" Replied Soma as the two of them looked at each other.

Seconds had passed, and Soma was inside the limo with Erina going towards his location.

"Thanks Erina-chan you're a real lifesaver." Said the young man as he was still drenched in sweat.

"No problem, I was going there anyway." Erina just waved off Soma, "Here wipe your sweat off and drink some water." She handed Soma a towel and some water.

"By the way, where's Hisako? She's always with you so why isn't she here?" Soma asks as he doesn't see his other friend.

"Uh… she… she's run-running some errands for me? Yeah she's running some errands for me." Erina said nervously as she didn't want to say that she left Hisako behind.

Soma looks at her suspiciously "You left her behind, didn't you?"

"Wha- I would never!" Soma looks at her with narrowed eyes, "Yes" she looks down avoiding his eyes.

"Can I ask why?" Soma said

Erina looks for an answer before she sighs and answers truthfully."Sigh* I left her behind so she could have a break, she's been pulling up a week of all nighter for my sake."

"Hmm, I see," Soma said, not continuing the topic.

"You're not mad at me?" Erina asks, eyes widened not expecting this kind of answer from Soma.

"Mad? Why would I be mad" Soma looks directly at Erina's eyes and smiles, "You, doing this means you care a lot for her, but next time try to tell her to take a rest and not just leave her behind, Ok?"

"Ok," Erina looks down avoiding eye contact from him but a small smile crept on her face.

"By the way, why are you heading to a dorm? Grandfather would have been kind enough to lend you one of our mansion rooms" She asks, as she would be happy to have her and Soma sleep under one roof.

"Ah, Gramps and Pops would only let me stay there for a week and I would still have to live in a dorm like some students." Soma said with a sigh

"Why a dorm? Why not rent an apartment?" Erina asked as Soma leaned his mouth near her ear and whispered something into her ear

After Soma finished whispering, Erina's face went deadpanned

"Seriously?" Erina asked as Soma nodded, "Both father and son are just blockheads."

"Erina-sama, we've reached our destination." The driver spoke as Erina and Soma looked outside and saw that they arrived at the so-called Polaris Star Dorm.

It was a giant building and was covered in weed and moss and all sorts of things.

"You know, when Pops said he stayed in Polar Star I expected it to be something nice." Soma said looking at the building coming out of a horror film, "Not a Freaking Haunted house."

"Come on, Don't be such a big baby" She said as a smug grin creeped on her face "Or is the great "Indra" the one who shook the culinary world scared of a house and peed his pants?"

"I know you're playing me, and I do."Soma said,"But I ain't scared, so let's go."

-Scene Break-

When Soma and Erina entered, the entire dorm felt like some sort of haunted house as it was chaos inside; wild animals ran around the place, stomping coming from the ceiling, smoke filling the air. It was hell on earth

"Now who is this Fumio-san, pops kept telling me about." Soma said as he looks around the place while ignoring the chaotic racket

"Oho, my reputation must proceed if a student not from the Polar Star Dormitories knows my name." a voice spoke as a second later, a clap was heard and lights came to life on the walls as well as above, revealing a massive chandelier.

Soma and Erina was met with an old woman who wore an apron over her

"My name is Daimido Fumio, I am the dorm matron of the Polaris Star Dorm" she introduced herself "I am the Maria of Polaris, you may call me Fumio-san"

'Woah! She's Freaking old' Soma thought with a shock as he assumed that Fumio must be in her 70's

"Greetings Fumio-san," Erina said with Courtesy.

"Ah! Erina-sama, what do I owe the pleasure of you coming here" Fumio replied to Erina.

"I'm here to see Satoshi-senpai, and my friend here" she points towards Soma, "Would like to take the Polar star exam"

"I'm guessing you're that brat's child." Fumio said as she was informed beforehand by Joichiro that his child should be coming here.

"Yeah that would be me, Pops said that this is where I would be staying," replied Soma.

"Alright, wait here for a moment I'll get that brat(isshiki) to come here" She left trying to find her tenant.

After a few moments she came back and said, "He should be right here in a moment" she then turned her head towards Soma "follow me brat, and did you bring your ingredients?"

"Ingredients? What ingredients?" Soma asks, tilting his head.

A moment of silence had occurred.

"What do you mean 'what ingredients?' Didn't Saiba-sama tell you anything!" Erina shouted.

"Ayayay, Like father like son" Fumio just sighs as she had been through this before.

"Wait, so does this mean I failed and have to sleep outside?" Soma paled at the thought of sleeping in the cold and harsh forest.

"Sigh* What am I going to do with you" Erina said, then something clicked in her mind,'Wait this might be a blessing in disguise, I could invite Soma to sleep in the manor, and we would be sleeping under the same bed and k-k-kiss! Soma Ecchi! Hah~ Hah~' Erina thought to herself but her face was heating up and she was breathing heavily outside.

"Soma why do-" Just as she was about to invite some, she was interrupted by Fumio-san.

"We only have leftovers remaining, would you still like to try?" Fumio asks as she was expecting Soma to take the challenge.

Soma perked up when he heard "Yes please."

"Follow me, brat," Fumio said.

Erina was left behind as she was waiting for Isshiki to come and talk about elite 10 stuff.
