Right now we're all in our rooms, while everyone is discussing about thier weapons so we can use them in a match. Bachira look like he could fall asleep any minute from now, either way im not telling them my weapon. If i did, they'll only make me use that one weapon but why should i? I can be sharpening other weapons instead of only using one.

"My weapon is my incredible shooting technique, and my motto is sexy soccer" ok, one ew two who the heck has that as thier motto, Raichi, now i can judge him even more.

"my weapon is...dribbling" bachira managed to say before falling asleep on the futon, not his futon but someone else's futon.

"...." they're all sharing thier weapons as I was just daydreaming, i didnt really care to be honest. When i heard We'll become Japan's best striker, i didnt know this would be the way to go.

welp its isagi's turn now to share. "My weapon is uhh...umm i wonder" This man seriously doesnt know his weapon? Everyone shot questions and words at him as poor dude was stuttering. But kuon just moved on giving isagi more time to think.

" chigiri?" kuon said as the attention turned towards the red haired boy in the corner, "I dont want to say" He said in a soft voice but loud enough for us to hear. " huh?! Dont chicken out on us!" igaguri said with a shocked expression. "I know sorry,but i dont want to say" chigiri said again as he lowered his head, "What the heck! Lets just leave the selfish princess alone and move on." Raichi said pissed.

"well than, last is...you,kenzo" its my turn, i guess. "I dont know, sorry" I replied blunty as i just stared at them. "ARE YOU SERIOUS? HOW CAN U CALL YOURSELF STRIKERS IF YOU DONT KNOW UR WEAPONS" raichi snapped at us. I just simply shurgged my shoulders at him, but hopefully noone brings up what- "but didnt you like solo everyone in team x for like a moment?" imamura said. Yep someone just had to bring that up.

"oh yeahhh, that must be your weapon right?" kunigami said and pointed at i dont know what. I shook my head even though it is one of my weapons but still, they didn't know that. "It was just a fluke, I guess something snapped or whatever. But yeah it was just a fluke." Isagi looked at me dead in the eyes, pretty sure he knows that it wasnt but still.

Also turns out kuon was gathering this information as he needed to create a new formation for our next match, but than isagi gave the idea of letting everyone shine at least once. Which not going to lie, is a good idea since we need to show off our weapons right? kuon than starts scribbling something down on his notebook, 'where did he get that, i wanna draw..' i thought to myself.

"With this plan,I think we could win." kuon said as he showed us what he had written down on the notebook. " OPERATION: ME, NEXT 9" what a weird name, but good idea.

And just like that, we were pushed to train while using the formation. Even though we didnt act like a real team, there was still blaming and stuff. But i think this idea is bringing us closer to becoming a real team, with the idea that if we lose our lives are over as well.

As everyone went to shower,sleep,eat or whatever. I remained in the field, what could I do they basically didnt let me practice much since i didnt have a weapon i guess. I sighed to myself, what could i do. Im not getting involved with anything, I kicked the ball around my feet. Thats when the speaker in the field annoced something, well only to me. "kenzo, come to my office now." It was ego, I guess he wants to meet me. I found his office a few days ago by accident and have found myself going there more often.

I went into ego's office as i greeted him, "you know kenzo i realised something. Your hiding yourself arent you?" ego said as he turned to face me, i jumped a bit but acted as if i didnt know what he was talking about. "I noticed that your lacking behind on training and your not doing much on the field. Mind explaining? " This man could read right through me couldnt he. I sighed as i sat on his bed as i explained.

What happened before i came here, what my thoughts are now and what exactly is happening during training times. He nodded his head at me and said, "alright, I can understand but if this continues. You wont be able to attend the world cup nor the U-20 match" I looked at him shocked, no this cant be. I tried so hard to make it here he cant ruin it for me now. "unless, you remember that red haired boy in team z?" I guess his talking about chigiri so i just nodded. "Great, his doing exactly what your doing, hiding his true talents. "

"Now what i want you to do is, the next match. Show your true talents, why? As i know for a fact noone here would do what those kids did to you back than" His words ran through my brain as i walked into the canteen. But before i did anything i heard voices, it was kunigami and isagi. "I think smelling a goal might be your weapon" he said untill his voice turned into a little more high pitched one. As i looked closer, THEY WERE EATING STEAK! i creeped up to them, as I stood behind isagi. I redirected his hands that had a piece of meat into my own mouth. " HEY!" isagi yelled before turning to look at me.

Too bad i was admiring the taste of the meat in my mouth, "you know its unfair you didnt share this with me." I looked at both of them half pouting, I mean isagi shouldnt get all the credit and enjoy the meat alone. They guilty smiled at me before he praised kunigami, but he shyly looked away. 'Seems like someone else also cant take praises well huh?' isagi thought as he chewed on his meat while taking a quick glance at kenzo.

"Anyways, next game. We're going to crush it."

" YEAH!"

"This is some good meat"

"KENZO SAVE SOME FOR ME!"
