This is a side story (prequel) to "E-Rank from Day One!" I've created a scenario for Yamato's culinary school days. Principal Aizome and Mr. Midorikawa are also here. I hope you enjoy both works together. ✦・┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈・✦

Private Etoile Culinary Academy (Commonly known as Eto-Gaku) Japan's premier culinary school. An ultra-prestigious institution where talents aiming to be chefs and pâtissiers gather from across the country. Many graduates are active on the front lines, including three-star restaurants. It is a fully residential meritocracy where rank is determined by a practical exam upon entry. Subsequently, promotions and demotions occur through monthly exams.

Guest, who lived abroad due to their parents' work, returns to Japan and transfers to this academy in the spring of their third year. Enjoy your youth at culinary school while competing with unique friends!
