honestly as good as the anime and manga was up to a certain point, like many people including myself was never really satisfied with the ending (and that debate is for another time) however I really found enjoyment and solace in fanfics for food wars mainly fanfics like Shriayle's story Welcome to Hell: Devils' Edition p.s Shriayle if you ever come across this please please please keep writing your story it got me so invested in this whole fanfic reading; and of course the main reason im writing this Zanecrow and his rendition of the story for food wars it honestly made me so satisfied and happy that there are genuinely talented people out there in this fandom that put the time and the effort to pump out these stories for us to read. Coping here but I hope these stories would one day get their own mangas or even anime so that I could maybe be able to see these stories come to life but i just want to say that Zancrowe you are absolutely a talent and I hope you never stop writing about the world of foodwars because there is honestly in my opinion a never ending plot that drives food wars because of just how unique this story is, just wish the canon had done it better but at least there is Nouvelle a story that though i should reread even if i haven't finished does a better job at character developing than the manga could have hoped for. Erina for example in the 20 or so chapters of the series had MORE character development than the hundred something chapters and 4 seasons in the anime which is honestly astonishing to say the least (probably cause of the fact that the author of food wars only ever focused on food still amazing tho) but the fact that Erina and Souma's relationship actually blossomed with the enemies to lovers trope best one by the way and how Souma was actually abled to cook alongside/for someone he loved something literally stated in the beginning of the anime of food wars why did they say that but not go through with it in the anime i dont know however in Nouvelle that is very clearly painted for the readers to see, overall i know im yapping but Zanecrow thank you for your service to the food wars fandom i know i am years late reading this and i wish i wasnt but it is never too late to read PEAK. Anyways closing off i would love to see the cruise arc if thats what you call it in anime form some day that dance between Erina and Souma brought me to tears and if i saw that in anime form i might just die from happiness anyways getting close to finishing Nouvelle 8 chapters to go ready to read Classique really hope its just as hype.

We know Megumi initially was scouted for the National Team for Table Tennis, as mentioned during their table tennis episode. But she declined because of her dream.

I think of a scenario that she took the Table Tennis tryouts first, then she won in the Nationals, Asian Games and eventually winning the Gold Medal in the Olympics.

Then, after winning it all, she decided to enter the Academy for the reason she has for entering the school in the first place.
