Finally finished this enjoy

Next day after the entrance ceremony.
The first day started all first-year student went to their designated class.They wore their cooking white uniform. As for Alex he didn't have his uniform and had to settle with his suit. It completely slipped his mind as because of his 'Special Case', the past schools he went to didn't insist for him to wear a uniform so he got used to wearing whatever he wanted.
After his speech at the ceremony, most of the students have a favourable opinion about Alexander and kind of admiration. All of them look specially girls look at him as their role model. They were whispering and murmuring between themselves.
'sigh! It is always like this wherever i go it happens, well guess i will just ignore them for now'. Alex thought with dissatisfaction as he was getting impatient about the teacher being late.
Finally, the teacher arrived. He was an old man who looked like a baker from france because of his bakery toque and france national flag coloured appron.
"Sorry for being late. This school is too big for an old man like me." The teacher stood infront of the students.
"Ah... Today you're all tasked with making a french dish." The old voice suddenly becomes harsher and more powerful." The dish you'll be making is..." The students embraced themselves, all of them were in Tōtsuki's middle school division and they were all warned about the harsh nature of teachers here.
"Macarons" He said "Ah! before i forget remember you have to atleast serve me 3 macarons with different fillings."
The room became quite for a moment before all kind of reaction burst out. Some were relieved. Some were ridiculing the dish. While some bragging about their abilities to make such a simple dish.
only Alex was looking at the teacher with a grin. 'you think i would not notice, well but i did'. [mind you Alex is polite and prince type in this fanfic so no savage mc moments... for now]
He knows what the teacher trying to do macarons sound like an easy dish but if you are not careful from the beginning it will end up breaking apart and the most important thing is the frosting which need the most careful concentration as a single mistake can waste the whole dish. The students who are relaxing now will face the most difficulty as they are not expecting what is ahead of them.
Alexander got straight to his work. The trick to macarons is making sure to sift the flour to remove any lumps and ensure it's evenly textured.
Alex stood in front of his kitchen counter, his eyes fixed on the three bowls of ingredients in front of him. He was determined to create the perfect macarons with three different fillings: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla macaron
Chocolate Macaron
"Okay, let's start with the chocolate macarons," Alex said to himself. He began measuring out the almond flour and confectioner's sugar. _"Alright, 1 1/2 cups of almond flour and 1 1/2 cups of confectioner's sugar should do it."_
Alex then added the sugar to the bowl, _"Sugar, check!"_ Next, he measured out the egg whites and granulated sugar. _"3 large egg whites and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar should give me the right consistency."_
As he whipped the egg whites, Alex added a pinch of salt and a few drops of black food coloring to give the macarons a deep, rich color. _"Now, let's add the chocolate flavor... "_ Alex added a teaspoon of cocoa powder to the mixture and folded it gently.
Strawberry Macaron
For the strawberry macarons, Alex decided to use fresh strawberry puree in the filling. _"I'll just puree some strawberries and mix it with some buttercream... "_ He added a few drops of pink food coloring to the mixture to give it a bright, cheerful color.
Alex then piped the strawberry macaron batter onto the baking sheet, _"Perfect circles, here I come!"_ As he tapped the baking sheet to remove any air bubbles, Alex said, _"Gotta get rid of those pesky bubbles!"_
Vanilla Macaron
For the vanilla macarons, Alex used a simple vanilla bean-infused buttercream filling. _"Vanilla is all about the subtle flavors... "_ He added a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture, _"Just a hint of vanilla should do it."_
As he piped the vanilla macaron batter onto the baking sheet, Alex said, _"Time to get these macarons perfectly round!"_ He tapped the baking sheet gently and let the macarons sit for 30 minutes to form a skin.
The Final Touches
After baking the macarons, Alex assembled the three different flavors, sandwiching the fillings between the delicate meringue-based cookies. _"And... done!"_ he exclaimed, admiring his handiwork.
The chocolate macarons had a rich, velvety filling, while the strawberry macarons burst with fresh flavor. The vanilla macarons, meanwhile, had a subtle sweetness that complemented the delicate cookie perfectly.
Some students were fast as the presented their own dish to the teacher. He took it and take a bite of it, immediately he said with a gentle smile "you get a F..." he then throw the dish in the garbage can.
"WHAT!! How is that a F, please reconsider." said the student who's work got thrown out.
"Your macarons are over heated" The teacher take a sip of his green tea as he continued. "You better go back and make another one. There is still enough time. If you hurry up that is" he smirked at the student.
5 more students presented their dish. Four get a F while one got a C. he somehow managed to pull it off. But even then the teacher's bitter toungue didn't let him rest.
Finally it was Alex's turn. in his hand silver plate with three Macarons with one being chocolate brown with chocolate layer dripping over it, another with a sweet pink colour with a thin slice of strawberry over it and a very elite looking vanilla Macaron.
The teachers eyes were open wide and as he was surprise at the sight of Alex's dish. Everyone for the past years had been going with the standard Macaron recipe so much that it got him bored of this plain dish. He was looking for originality. And now it seems he will finally taste something he was looking for.
"Here, please take a bite" Alex presented his dish with a smile. The teacher took the first Macaron which was the chocolate one and took a bite. Boom!!! an explosion of chocolate had launched its way to the teacher's mouth as he was filled with delight and joy. "yum~ itz like i am drowning in the sea made out of chocolate" without wasting anymore time he taste the strawberry Macaron Zzzzttttt an icy thunder like sensation goes through the teachers mind 'i...i.. it can't be' as he look at Alex for explanation.
"Well i added a little spices in the dough" Alex said 'Spices in a desert it is unheard of' the teacher look at Alex and then take the vanilla Macaron to take a bite. But, Alex stopped him.
"Sir please first break the Macaron into 2 then eat it" Alex said. The teacher do as he was told and was amazed to see that the filling of the Macaron is flowing outward with an aroma he never smelled before. The teacher gulped and took a bite and said "très bon/delicious".
The students looked at the teachers reaction with awe. Never once did he show this reaction before.
"You got an A, if i could give more i would do with pleasure" The teacher wiped his mouth with a napkin as he thought 'Saiba Alexander i will like to see where you can reach with that level of cooking' he chuckled to himself and then give Alex permission to leave.
As Alex walked out of the room he thought to himself 'looks like Tōtsuki was not that bad as i thought, maybe i will get serious for the first time in years' Alex smiled and then left for restaurant etiquette classes.
