Totsuki Genius

A city in southern Italy, Napolis, a place so beautiful and touristy that they say you can only die after visiting it.

But the focus of our story is not Napolis.

In a magnificent mansion overlooking the beach, the only two members of the Gray family live.

Arthur Gray and his adopted grandson Damian Grey.

"Damian! Come here!" Arthur called for his grandson.

He was sitting in an armchair in his office while looking out the window at the sea.

"I'm coming grandpa!" A young voice sounded.

A few seconds later a young man entered the office.

He has black hair and red eyes, and was wearing a formal black suit, he had probably just returned from some event. He is smiling as he looked at his adoptive grandfather.

"Do you need me for anything? I'm dead tired, those idiots made me attend a wedding, and they even made me cook."

"Hahaha! Those friends of yours are really interesting people, aren't they?" He laughed as he remembered Damian's friends.

"The reason I called you here isn't a big deal." Arthur spoke as he returned his gaze to his grandson.

"Tell me, Damian, have you mastered the techniques in that book I gave you?"

"Not yet, but I'm close to mastering everything."

"I'd say a few more weeks and I could make any of those dishes." The young man spoke while placing his hand on his chin thoughtfully.

"Hahaha~ You're being too modest Damian. Your cooking skills have already surpassed mine, know that I was once one of the best cooks in the world." Arthur spoke while laughing again.

"As expected, your cooking talent is frightening." He shook his head proudly.

After a few seconds of silence he turned his eyes to the sea again.

"Damian... My time is approaching... I can even feel that my time is approaching." He spoke in a sad voice.

"Unfortunately, I have nothing left to teach you..." He smiled sadly as he turned his eyes to Damian again.

(He said almost the same thing as Master Oogway...)

Damian sighed a little sadly.

"What do you want me to do grandpa?"

"Damian, I'm already quite old, I have no close friends and no children or wife." He spoke while folding his hands.

"You are the only family I have in this world... After I die, you will inherit all my properties and assets, but I want you to promise me something."

Damian smiled as he approached Arthur and began massaging his shoulders.

"What is it?"

"You know, I can feel that a lot of interesting things are going to happen around you in the future. All I want is for you to keep winning, whether in cooking or in life." Arthur spoke.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I don't plan on losing to anyone." Damian spoke with a smile on his face.

"Damian, I've always been obsessed with cooking and martial arts, I became an executive of a big gang, I was fascinated by music. Thanks to these things I acquired a great amount of wealth and achievements, but... I don't have family, my parents graduated several decades ago, and you are my family."

"Damian, I don't want you to follow the same steps as me. I hope you can treat it as a profession, or hobby, I don't care... I just ask that you don't get immersed in it. You have to have your own life, your own family..."

"Grandpa, do you mean..." Damian said in surprise.

"Damian, I want you to remember that life isn't just about cooking, remember, you're still young... You're at the age to fall in love, have a real life outside of that bubble." Arthur patted Damian's hand, which was still massaging him, and then signaled for him to sit in front of him.

"I hope you can bring your children to visit Napolis in the future." Arthur spoke with a sly smile on his face, it was as if he had already made a big move.

Damian knew that smile well, and a drop of cold sweat ran down his back.

(What did you do this time, grandpa?)

"Okay... No one knows what the future holds, right grandpa?"

"Hahaha~ You're right!" Arthur laughed when he heard Damian talking like he was older.

"Damian, I bought you a plane ticket. Tomorrow you're going to Japan to take the entrance test for Totsuki academy, the biggest culinary school in the world."

"Since he has dorms there, you won't need a house."

Damian froze when he heard what Arthur said.

"Totsuki...?" Damian spoke unconsciously.

"Is there a problem?" Arthur asked Damian curiously.

"It's nothing grandpa..." Damian replied.

"Damian, how about you prepare one of your specialty dishes today?" Arthur spoke with a smile as he stood up.

"Very well, I will prepare." Damian smiled and got up from his chair and left the office.

After he left, Arthur said with a sigh of relief, "It would have been great if I had met him a few years earlier..."

After several minutes Damian came to call him into the office, the meal was ready.

-------

The sky was already dark when Damian left the room, he was preparing his things for the trip.

After almost half an hour of searching, he couldn't find his grandfather anywhere.

It didn't take much intelligence to know that Arthur was already leaving without silently informing Damian.

Damian knew that Arthur was probably going to prison to meet up with an old friend.

He didn't leave a goodbye letter, you could see some marks of what were probably tears all over it.

"Ahh~ You old idiot, you should have just gone and said goodbye to me directly." Damian sighed after reading the letter.

In addition to the farewell letter, there was an envelope, probably the letter of recommendation for Totsuki, two small keys, probably the keys to a safe and a set of keys, as well as the plane ticket.

"Totsuki, isn't it? I thought this was a single world but it seems to have merged with another..." Damian muttered as he remembered his friends.

"Will I be in the same class as the protagonist? That would be interesting..." He said with a smile.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything else there, Damian went back to his room and started doing research on his notebook.

A few hours passed while he discovered some interesting things through the Notebook.

"Hmm~ I better go to sleep, my flight will be early in the morning." Damian got up and went to take a shower.

As he cleaned himself up, he remembered some things from his past.

"Since I was born into this world, I have possessed three abilities, perhaps they are a gift from whoever brought me to this world." He sat down in the bathtub.

"The first was an absurd ability to learn any language with extreme ease."

(End of chapter)

Hey!!! How are you my friends? I finally came back from my trip today, now I can finally re -update every day here.
