Shinomiya expelled 30 students already in the first day.
His 2nd day test is to create a terrine using his recipe.
This must be done individually without teaming up, and any information exchanged during the cooking is forbidden.
As the students rush to get the ingredients, and since Megumi isn't exactly a go-getter, by the time she manages to get them for herself, only cauliflowers left are partially fermented and old, ruined ones. Megumi realizes if she used these in the shape they're in, it'll ruin the appetizing look of the terrine. She comes up with an idea to boil it in wine vinegar to restore the look, and give the vegetable a sweet and flavorful taste. Meanwhile, Soma passed the exam.
Shinohara tells Megumi she's fired. When she asks why, he tells her the food tasted good, and the wine vinegar was a very good match for the dish. However, who told you you could change the recipe?
He tells her the food was supposed to be harmonious blend of vegetables, based on his recipe. You made something else, and for that, you're fired.
Soma steps in and tells him that's unreasonable, the ingredients were ruined, and she simply improvised with what she could.
If you're going to treat us as employees, then as the chief chef, you're responsible for the condition of the ingredients!
Shinomiya is angered by Soma talking back to him, and tells him he mixed in bad ingredients on purpose. To separate those who cannot tell the difference in the condition of the food, as well as slowpokes.
He tells him a grunt like them have no right to change HIS recipe.
He then threatens Soma with failure if he talks back to him even more.
Megumi tearfully grabs Soma and tells him to not worry about this, she doesn't want to get him expelled too. Then smiles like an angel.
Soma's face turns into rageface.. then turns calm and cool expression.
He asks Shinohara if Toutsuki's rule applies to graduated ones.
Shinohara replies asking what he's talking about.
Shokugeki of course. Soma asks if he beats him in Shokugeki will he take back giving failure to Tadokoro?
