Not Here To Do That
Cast:

November, 2011
The space for the competition has been arranged inside a large exhibition hall. Row after row of identical workstations, made of mirror-bright stainless steel and connected with water, electricity, and gas. Cooking implements and ingredients have already been distributed, but the stations are not identical. As the competitors enter, each has already declared what they are going to make.
"Hello, neighbor!"
The boy at the next station greets Kanade with a grin. He is noticeably more muscular compared to most of the other competitors, and generally just looks strange. His hair may have been dyed, or else he is one of those rare individuals with naturally pale turquoise. His shirt and pants might be part of a school uniform, but the large, white, diamond-shaped belt buckle probably isn't. His vest certainly isn't, since there isn't a school anywhere that would authorize sky blue leather laminar armor. As for the white cape that falls down his back from his shoulder to below his knees... also not a uniform, but it does look nice with the rest of his outfit.
Competition! Kanade tries to shake the image out of her head. That person is an opponent, not eye candy!
The boy doesn't seem to notice Kanade's hesitation. "If you get hungry, just let me know! I am making donuts, donuts, and more donuts! There will be plenty to share!"
"You're only making donuts?" Kanade asks. "How can you expect to win if that's all you do?"
"I am not here to win!" The boy shouts, suddenly serious. "I am here to make donuts!"
