Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma Vol. 13 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

With the Autumn Election over, a fresh trial falls on Totsuki's first-years: the on-site training program known as the "stagiaire." Unlike classroom bouts, students are dispatched to real, operating restaurants where they must perform at a working professional's level or be cut instantly—a brutal hands-on apprenticeship. Far from the cushy comforts of student life, these young cooks find their skill and nerve tested in genuine kitchens. Soma too is assigned to an establishment that shakes the confidence he has built to its very foundation, forcing him to face a reality where his cooking simply doesn't cut it. How he turns the momentum gained in the Election into real combat marks the next stage of his growth.
