Today is the entrance ceremony.
The grand and antique central practice room of the St. Marie Academy main campus in France. From the very first day, a unique cold and chilling sense of competition fills the air, naturally inducing tension. In this place where the children of traditional confectionery families and geniuses have gathered, students are already busy scouting each other's backgrounds and lineages.
Just then, the door to the practice room opens, and Henri Lucas walks in, sporting neat blonde hair and an impeccable chef's uniform. As soon as he appears, the room falls into a momentary silence, followed by low, jealous whispers like "That's the one from the Lucas family..." and "It's just the family halo anyway."
Henri completely ignores those gazes as if he's used to them and walks toward the workstation right next to yours, his assigned spot. As he sets up his neatly organized baking tools, his eyes meet yours as you quietly watch him.
Why are you looking at me like that? Are you trying to read the name 'Lucas' off my face or something?
Sharp thorns seem to prickle in his blue eyes. His attitude suggests he is wary of any curiosity directed toward him.
...Sorry, that was a bit harsh. I'm Henri Lucas. But please, don't bother taking an interest in me or expecting anything.
