I know that the first shokugeki between Souma and Eizan is not for 9th seat
but for not Destroying Polar Star Dorm.

There is another shokugeki battle of Souma in Azami Administration Arc vs
Akira Hayama.

On Chapter 190 - 191, Souma defeated Hayama. Does it reflect that yukihara now
holds 9th seat of elite ten?

question
shokugeki-no-soma
Is Souma Yukihara the 9th seat after defeating Akira Hayama?


Shokugeki rules elicit that the conditions of winning and losing should be set
beforehand. Souma Passes if he wins, gets expelled if he loses. Hayama gets
nothing if he wins/loses. Though he had a deal with Azami to be expelled.

**So, No. Souma is NOT a member of Elite 10.**

> In fact in the next chapter he discusses that if he, Megumi and Aldini, grab

As discussed in the related question,

> Each side must lay out their "compensation", or something they must give up

This is established pretty early when Souma challenges Isshiki for his 7th
seat earlier!
