Senzaemon: It's unavoidable,
Senzaemon: If they can't overcome this-
Cutlery: The last part of the stagiaire period!!

Voice: Whether they themselves have "something" they can give!
Voice: That's the least expected from someone who passes the stagiaire period.

p6
Senzaemon(thinks): Three years in the middle school division...The daily classes at the high school division, the training lodging, and the Autumn Election.
Senzaemon(thinks): Those who went through all those and yet were negligent in nurturing themselves
Senzaemon(thinks): Aren't needed in this academy.

Guy: I've completed my work until today without making a single mistake!
Guy: I've contributed enough to the restaurant...I left results!
Woman: .........
Woman: Even at the times when the kitchen was getting busier and busier all around,
Woman: You never even looked at how the situation was anywhere besides your own post.
Guy: !
Woman: You can't say those kind of actions are real results.

p7
Woman: You were so busy boasting about how you were training in a shop with stars that you never reflected on your own actions.
Woman: To top it all,
Woman: To think you would complain about the staff on the internet.
Thought: .........! Why does she know that!?
Woman: Listen well, the most important part of the stagiaire period isn't where you trained!
Woman: "Leaving visible results"...You never tried to understand the meaning of those words and even ended up looking down upon the restaurant.
Woman: We don't even have to wait until the last day.
Woman: You failed!
Woman: You're expelled as of today!!
Senzaemon(thinks): And...Those who face their current limits
Senzaemon(thinks): And try to overcome them
Senzaemon(thinks): Are the very ones who can get hold of the fruit called growth...!!

Chef: Things were pretty hopeless for this restaurant but it got to a point where it could make a last fight,
Chef: It's all because you came...I'm really thankful.
Chef: B-But rest assured! I'm going to talk with the academy.
Chef: I'll tell them we got this far as result of your work,
Chef: All so that you get to pass, Ibusaki-kun...

Woman: Hey! Are you serious?
Woman: She said she'll learn how to be a waitress!?
Man: But we really don't have enough people...
Woman: She won't be able to endure it! Just how much do you think she---
Megumi: I beg you...Please let me do it.

p10
Megumi: I want to be of help in places other than the kitchen!
Man: ......True,

Man: Are truly worthy of it.

Ikumi: .........!

p11
Man: Hey! When are you finishing with those ingredients!?
Man: What are you doing!? Hurry!
Girl: S-Sorry!!

Man: You fail!
Voice: You fail!!
Thought: I'm at my limit just doing the work I have...My mind is blank.
Thought: This is......The world of pros...!
Voice: You fail!!!

Text: Beef, Chicken, Seafood...He can cook any ingredient in a great variety of ways!!
Text: He's a tough guy whose Shokugeki winning rate is over 80%!!
Fumio: Almost every single second year who survived this far is like that.
Fumio: It's a swarm of warlike beasts who seek to polish themselves by battling.
Fumio: And it's all those beasts who were waiting for you to come back.
Fumio: They're a bunch...Who recognize Yukihira Souma as someone strong!
Tetsuji: That's right! Now that you've survived the stagiaire period
Tetsuji: The time for you first years to fight each other is over.

p16
Tetsuji: All of you first years
Tetsuji: Are now standing on the same field as your upperclassmen!!
Souma: ............
Fumio: Well...You're free to accept it or not.
Souma: Ermm...Well then...Maybe I should accept that Shokugeki.
Tetsuji: Great! I'm happy you accepted!
Souma: Well, if you're ok facing someone like me...Hehe
Tetsuji: Hahaha! Don't be modest.
Tetsuji: As for the date.........I know, in one week---

Souma: I'm accepting all those challenges,
Souma: So don't throw them away.
Souma: You know, there are plenty of things I wanted to test for real so I feel really lucky.
Souma: Oh right, what about the theme?
Souma: I'm ok with anything you want, senpai.
Souma: Hmm? What are you spacing out for? Hey,
Souma: Senpai.
Tetsuji(thinks): From the Autumn Election
Tetsuji(thinks): I felt he was unique...Different.
Tetsuji(thinks): But the heat in his gaze
