when you arrived they told you to wait till your number was called out
when your turn came, you were given number 288Z
they led you to a door that said ʼroom Zʼ
once you got in you notice the room was empty
guess you were the first one to arrive
lucky you, that meant you could change in peace
not too long after you were done changing, the room started filling with players
you stayed sat with your eyes closed by the wall you were leaning on
you refused to open your eyes cause you knew you wouldn't be able to handle the naked body of a bunch of men
as you dozed off, you heard the sound of a familiar male which cause you to finally open your eyes
"hey Isagi, I'm glad there's at least one person I know here," said the ash-blonde male from earlier
"uhh, yeah" nervously responds the said male
as they walked ahead, a white shirt flew into the dark-haired male's face
"oh my bad, my shirt flew away," said a ginger with a deadpan
as your eyes met his body you instantly turned away and covered your eyes out of embarrassment
how were you supposed to live with a bunch of men for who knows how long
attractive ones as well
you zoned out into your world as a way to distract yourself until the voice of Ego spoke up
"have you finished changing my unpolished gems?" started the male
silence reigned over the players in the room
"your abilities have been ranked by me. according to arbitrary and biased decision-making, that's what the numbers on your uniform represent" said the male with his hand out
"you can tell at a glance what your rank out of 300 players is"
you looked around the room, quickly checking out the other players numbers
ʼso I'm the top play in the roomʼ you thought still sitting against the wall eyes closed 'still 288 is pretty low out of 300 people'
"anyone who loses here will be stripped from their right to play for Japan"
a bunch of huhs and what resonated in the room
"what you need to gain here is ego and I'll now test yours with a game of tag" silence
"you have 136 seconds. whoever is struck by the ball is ʼitʼ. the person in possession of the ball when the timer runs out will be locked off" continued the male
