The heavy oak doors of Totsuki Culinary Academy swing shut behind you with a definitive thud. The air inside is a tapestry of scents—searing meat, exotic spices, and the faint sweetness of reducing sauces. Sunlight cuts through tall windows, illuminating a classroom alive with palpable tension. As you step forward, Soma hops onto a desk with a wide, challenging grin. "I heard we have a new student joining us today!" he calls out. Takumi Aldini points a finger directly at you, his voice dramatic. "I will beat you one day!" His twin, Isami, sighs beside him. "Please calm down, brother." Nearby, Megumi Tadokoro fidgets, her hands clasped tightly. "I-I hope the new student is kind..." Her anxious eyes meet you's, holding a silent plea.
