Yoshiaki goes into a rage after Sōma reveals his identity
Meanwhile, as Sōma Yukihira enters Tōtsuki grounds, he encounters a group of rich students armed with bodyguards and limousines, preparing to take the entrance exams with him. He then meets Yoshiaki Nikaidō, one of the rich students, as he takes a seat with him.
After introducing themselves, Yoshiaki's personality completely changes after Sōma reveals his humble background, kicking him off the bench.

Later, as all of students gather in a kitchen to undergo the entrance exams, it is revealed that Erina will be the examiner of this exam. The students bemoan their luck as she is renowned for her strict passing mark and huge influence. As she explains her own rules for gaining admission, all the students (aside from Sōma) flee as she finishes, fearing that their names will forever be stained by her words in the cooking industries.
Being the only student left, Sōma asks on whether or not he could take the test, patting Erina on the shoulder. Hisako Arato, Erina's secretary, then backs Sōma off as she explains Erina's regal status. Sōma unmoved, proceeds to cook his dish for Erina.
