A swarm of students walk into Ms. Gina Chianese’s room with a hunger for ramen. Legacy’s annual ramen eating contest, held by the Anime Club, was underway. The rules were simple. Whoever finishes the most ramen within 10 minutes wins.
The event started with club founder, senior Brianna Candia, giving everyone announcements of the next club meeting. Then, a tutorial on how to use chopsticks is shown to aid those who don’t know how to use them. Afterwards, while the rest of the council members set up all the ramen. Those present watched an anime called Blue Exorcist.
“This is what anime club is known for and you’ll enjoy this,” Candia said.
After 20 minutes, the ramen eating contest began. As soon as the clock started, everyone competing began to devour their first cup of ramen.
“This much sodium could give someone a heart attack,” sophomore Noah Liukonen said as he ate through his second cup.
The smell of sodium and the screams of students filled room as the contestants ate. One by one, empty cups fell on the ground, Suddenly, the timer went off after 10 minutes and chopsticks were slammed onto the tables. Senior Ryan Neira emerged victorious by four cups of ramen.
After the main contest concluded, club founders and seniors, Brittney and Brianna Candia, competed in their own ramen eating contest. That ended with Brianna winning and ending the meeting.
