Last chapter began with Tsukasa Eishi reading a decree from the Central which states that all students will instantly pass and continue to their second year in the academy as long as they comply to Central's or Azami's methodology of cooking.
Those who will not comply will be immediately expelled and this will be a problem for Polar Star Dorm students. After the live telecast, Soma and the rest of the gang got disheartened as there was no way they will abide by this system. Currently, they are clueless on what they should do and some are already thinking of expulsion instead of following Azami.
Meanwhile, Azami called a meeting for top officials of the academy for one reason, to prove that the Azami mythodology is the ultimate cooking technique and it can be learned by anyone. One judge tried the dish and he was astounded on how good it was. After tasting, he immediately asked who cooked it and as it turns out, a middle-school student was the one responsible for it.
Everyone was surprised but not all was impressed with Azami's ideology. A judge was thinking that this style will remove the identity of a chef and cover it with Azami's instead. This made him question the leadership of Azami as Tootsuki was built for the purpose of bringing out the uniqueness and originality of every aspiring chef.
Lastly, Erina went inside Soma's room and it looks like she has something very important to say to the Polar Star Dorm's ace. In the next chapter, it is interesting to see if this will be a proposal of some sort that will put Erina's reputation at stake but on the bright side, they would not have to abide Central's promotion exam.
Fans over at Manga Helpers believe Erina's reason of seeing Soma is to apologize for every time she discredits his cooking. Also, it is believed that she will swear his allegiance to the group and will use her Elite Ten seat power to make some changes in the upcoming exam. Fans over at Reddit, meanwhile, think that this talk will involve Soma's father, Jouichirou as they will ask him for help in the upcoming exam.
Here is a review of the previous chapter.
