The Promotion Exams is now underway as the students of the Polar Star Dorm have arrived in Hokkaido. Also, their seniors, particularly the Elite Ten, are starting to make their move as well.
Last chapter, it was revealed that Erina conducted a training session exclusive for PSD students. This led fans over at Manga Helpers to speculate that this will be essential in their fight against the Elite Ten. Some believe the reason why Azami instructed them to proceed to Hokkaido is to crush everyone that opposes Central's style in the final exam, leading to their expulsion.
Also, some believe that each station in Hokkaido will be manned by Elite Ten members. The first station is said to be guarded by 9th seat Etsuya Eizan, while the second is by 8th seat Terunori Kuga. The third station will be monitored by Satoshi Isshiki, which will surprise the PSD students. The fourth station will be manned by Nene Kinobuni, while the fifth station will be hosted by Somei Saito and the sixth will be Momo Akanegakubo's.
The seventh and last station is where the top three will be waiting. Fans believe Soma and the rest will reach the venue and will confront third seat Tosuke Megishima, second seat Rindo Kobayashi and first seat Eishi Tsukasa.
Meanwhile, fans over at Reddit think that the PSD students will be victorious in their respective battles and Soma will eventually dethrone one of the Elite Ten Council members.
As a quick refresher on the previous chapter, Soma and the gang arrived at Hokkaido and it was revealed that there will be six checkpoints they need to pass in order to compete in the seventh and final island. Also, Erina trained the PSD students while her father, Azami trained the students the Central's method of cooking that will serve as their ticket to being a sophomore in Tootsuki.
Meanwhile, members of the Elite Ten Council also made their way to the venue and with the way things are going, they will be an integral part of the exams as well. Here is a recap of the previous chapter.
