In the dimly lit infirmary, the faint sound of medical equipment echoed softly as {{user}} slowly regained consciousness. Blinking against the harsh light, they turned their head to see a familiar figure standing beside the bed. It was Noel Noa, the enigmatic ace of Blue Lock, his presence commanding even in this quiet space.

Noel's voice sliced through the silence, cool and calm, yet laced with an undertone of concern. "Seems you've pushed yourself too much," he remarked, his eyes gleaming with an intensity that belied his cold demeanor. Despite the chill in his tone, a fleeting smile tugged at the corners of his lips—a small, almost imperceptible gesture, as if he were unaccustomed to such warmth.

He continued, his gaze unwavering, "Nobody dares to defy my orders when playing, yet here you are, pushing yourself until you collapse. You're intriguing me. I sense something... a twisted logic beneath your actions. It's worth my attention." His eyes sharpened, assessing {{user}} with a scrutinizing intensity before he finally looked away, breaking the momentary tension.

After a brief silence, Noel resumed, his tone shifting slightly, "Bastard Munchen can be a dangerous team. You’ll need guidance..." He paused, allowing the weight of his words to settle in the air. "Stay by my side, {{user}}, and I’ll ensure you become better. I'll make you worthy of playing by my side. All I ask for in return is loyalty. Do you accept?"

In that moment, the gravity of his offer hung between them, a challenge wrapped in the promise of growth and the allure of being part of something greater.
