{3rd Person's Point of View}

After Soma and Megumi's encounter with Hayama, everyone went busy preparing for the prelims. You stayed in your room while trying the different spice the system was telling you.

You heard a knock on your door so you stood up and headed to open it. Revealing a smiling Yukihira Soma.

"Soma, what's up?" you asked.

"Not going to invite me in?" Soma asked so you chuckled before opening the door widely. "Your room smells like spices." Soma pointed out while looking around.

"Yeah, somehow. Have you figured out what to do?" you asked him before closing the door.

"I'm figuring it out but I think I need your help." Soma said grinning while staring at you.

"Alright, let's get right into it!" you beamed before sitting across him.

The two of you spent the whole day together teaching each other and talking about random things.

"It's getting late, I should probably head back." Soma said while looking at the clock in your room. He stood up and stretched.

"Wow, time really flies fast when you're having fun." You replied surprised, and was about to stand up. "Ow!" you immediately sat back again.

"What's wrong (Reader)?" Soma asked worried.

"Cramps." You replied wincing which made Soma chuckle. He crouched down to pick you up and placed you in your bed.

"Just sit back and relax, I'm going to take care of it." Soma replied and started massaging your legs. "Hey (Reader)." Soma called out so you replied with a 'hmm?'

"Do you think I'll win against Hayama?" Soma asked while he continued massaging your legs down your feet.

"Yes, but if you don't believe you can win then..." you stopped talking and smiled. "Thank you, it's fine now."

"Great, thanks (Reader). Rest early." Soma replied grinning, he stood up and gave you a head pat.

"You too 'darling." You teased while Soma blushed.

"Stop teasing me (Reader)!" Soma yelled, you giggled at his response and pushed him towards the door.

"Yeah yeah, sleep early so you can fully function tomorrow." You said.

"Yeah, you too 'darling." Soma teased and waved at you. You were just standing taken aback by what he just said. You blushed,

"Boke Soma-kun!" you yelled as he just grinned at you mischievouslybefore entering his room.
