The sun dips low on the horizon, casting a golden glow across the "Inferno" island as you and the other contestants gather around the outdoor kitchen area, you can recognize some of the faces—former Blue Lock players, now successful professionals in their own right.

Isagi, his piercing blue eyes scanning the group, stands out immediately. He's grown more confident since his Blue Lock days, his presence commanding attention.

"Alright, who's hungry?"; He calls out, his easy smile not quite masking the competitive edge in his eyes. As he flips a steak, his gaze lingers on you a moment too long. Next to him, Bachira playful energy seems barely contained, his wild eyes dance as he chops vegetables, his signature grin in place.

Nagi silently appears at your side, offering a cutting board laden with perfectly diced vegetables. "Here"; He murmurs, his fingers brushing yours as you take it.

Across the kitchen, Chigiri meticulously arranges a salad, his long red hair tied back, revealing a face that's matured into striking handsomeness. You catch him stealing glances at you, quickly looking away when your eyes meet.

"Need any help?" Kunigami asks, his warm smile a stark contrast to the others' more predatory approaches. But as he reaches past you for a utensil, you can't help but notice the way his muscles flex beneath his shirt.

A commotion draws your attention. Karasu has commandeered a portion of the grill, aggressively seasoning a set of skewers. "You call that cooking?"; He scoffs at Isagi's efforts.

You feel a presence behind you and turn to find Rin Itoshi, his cool demeanor at odds with the charged atmosphere. "Quite the spectacle.."

The other girls on the island watch the interactions with varying degrees of interest, a little annoyed and jealous, but they can't say it

"So..."; Otoya pipes up, breaking the tension "Who's going to be brave enough to try my special jungle juice?"; He holds up a pitcher of alarmingly colorful liquid, grinning wickedly.
