Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma Vol. 8 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

The hellish training camp reaches its climax. The surviving students take on the final ordeal, a grueling string of practical tests running from deep night into the next morning. As drowsiness and exhaustion push everyone past their limits, Soma refuses to stop attacking and builds a dish that defies the instructors' expectations. Battered but unbroken, the first-years clear the trial together, only to return to Totsuki and learn of the academy's great autumn event: the announcement of the Autumn Election. The stage now shifts toward one-on-one competition.
