" Tetsumi-Chan, I have a pamphlet," Rumi said.

" Wow, thanks Rumi-San," Kuroko said.

" The Grand Prix Series is a great event for the student patissiers. If you win in St. Marie Academy, your team will present the school in the Nationals. First, a group of 4 people will enter,  and in the span of 3 months, they'll compete in a tournament covering 5 themes. If you win the Nationals, it'll be amazing 'cause it means you're Japan's 1st patisserie." Rumi explains.

" Who won last year?" Kuroko asked.

" Obviously a high school 3rd-year team. They're studying abroad right now" Rumi said.

"High school 3rd-year?!!!" Kuroko thought.

" No way, then, do the middle school and high school competes against each other? Are the levels too far apart?" Kuroko asked, Tiara agreed with her.

" Well, it's a disadvantage but it is possible" She replied.

"  In their first year, the sweet princes were the only ones to make it into the second round. The middle school division winning the first match is unheard of. They probably would have gone higher if they didn't group up with Ojou, to begin with..." she added.

" Ojou?" Kuroko asked with her head tilted and hugging Nigou.

" Nothing, just someone a year above us" Rumi sweatdrop.

" Okay..." Kuroko said in doubt.

" Besides, Tetsumi-Chan, aren't you entering the Grand Prix with the sweet princes?" Rumi asked.

"Well... we haven't thought of that yet" Kuroko replied.

" I like Tetsumi-Chan's cake...the cake you made of Ringo-Chan, it was enjoyable and delicious. It'll be a waste to not challenge yourself more." Rumi said.

"I'll think about it," Kuroko said.

Kuroko's POV

"Well... that's what I said to Rumi-Chan..." I said when I was in my room laying on top of the bed.

" Ahh... but what if Murasakibara-Kun watches the channel, not just him but everyone who would realize me" I added while rolling myself.

"Who might you be talking about, Tetsumi?" Tiara said.

" Just some friends of mine who betrayed me before I met you and the others in the past, they were not like that before years of being with them," I said.

" I see, you are too kind-hearted for your own good," Tiara said.

" I'll take that as a compliment. Good night Tiara." I said.

" Good night"  She replied.

" Nigou, can you be a good boy and wait for me in this room for the whole day?" I asked Nigou.

" Woof" he replied with excitement.

"Thank you, Nigou," I said and let the darkness take me.

The next morning...

"3rd-year team Tennouji is likely to win." The sweet princes said.

"Tennouji???" I asked while carrying tons of pots.

"High school division's female student council president. Tennouji Mari received many contest awards, a genius girl. She never appeared in the Grand Prix but professionals came to inspect the cakes he made. But she is entering this year. " Andou-Kun said.

" Why?" I asked.

" She's received coaching from Henri-Sensei, and they say she's her favorite pupil, sensei returned to Paris didn't he. That's probably why she entered. So she could win go to Paris." Andou-Kun explains.
