I woke up quite early. As i sat up, seeing everybody else still asleep, i just went ahead and got ready for the day.

I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom when chigiri joined me. He still had sleepy eyes and looked at me in surprise, not expecting anyone else to be awake. With the toothbrush still in my mouth, i greeted him good morning. He nodded at me, also taking out his toothbrush.

I finished up first, leaving the comfortable silence and replacing it with the chaos of the sleeping quarters.
"Good god," i murmured, looking at the others. Bachira and Igarashi laid sprawled out on the futons, Raichi was already mad at everything and everyone, Isagi looked like he was about to have a panick attack, Naruhaya was clinging to Gagamaru and kuon and Iemond were trying to calm everything down. Kunigami was nowhere to be found. Chigiri entered the room coming to stand next to me, watching the chaos unfold.

Finally, everyone got their shit together and got ready. We would be doing basic fitness tests today, so we didn't need to do anything special. After breakfast, we moved to the equipment room. I started with stratching exercises and watched as Isagi, Igarashi, and Raichi got on the treadmill.  They started off strong, especially Raichi, who seemed to have a great amount of stamina.

It didn't take long for Isagi and Igarashi to be panting like dogs on the treadmill, and Raichi was enjoying watching them struggle. When Isagi got off, i took his place. I started off calmly and upped the speed as my muscles warmed up. I ran for quite a while at a fast jogging pace. I kept my breathing under control as i continued and felt sweat form on my forehead.

My and Raichi got off at the same time and went to get a drink of water. He looked at me with a glare as i couldn't bring myself to make eyecontact. "God, this dude is terrifying!" I thought to myself as he kept glaring at me. Once i was done, i put away my bottle and joined Kuon in his jumping exercises. He had quite the jumping abilities as i watched him. He jumped almost the double of Isagi. It was really impressive.

I headed straight for the shower once the fitness training was over. My whole body ached, and i stank. As a zombie, i turned on the hot water, relaxing as it hit my body. My muscles calmed down, and i felt my heart slow. With a deep sigh, i started cleaning myself up, washing my hair. This was exactly what i needed.

Dinner was nice, seeing everyone interact. Isagi and Bachira seemed to have gotten quite close. the same went for Naruhaya and Gagamaru. "What about you (y/n)?" It was Bachira who asked the question. "What? Sorry, i didn't quite catch that."What role did you play in your team?"Oh! I was a striker. Why do you ask?" Isagi answered my question. "Seems like we're all forward's."

"I mean, isn't that what Ego said? He said he was going to create the worlds best striker after all." I responded. Some others nodded at my words. "Did anyone have big plans coming up? Personally, i didn't really leave anything behind." Kuon asked the whole group. Most of them shook their heads no. "I had nationals coming up." I murmured, but Isagi heard me. "What! Really, you had nationals? You must be quite the striker then! That's really cool (y/n)!" He praised me. "Yeah, i guess. It didn't really matter, though. My dad was going to force me to quit after high school. He said he wanted me to go to university." Some looked at me with pity, and i looked down at my plate. "But my mom said that i could do what i want!" I tried saving the conversation. "She's really proud of me!" Others chimed in saying that their parents were also really supportive. Isagi even said his mom always made him his favorite meal after his matches.

We continued our chat in the sleeping quarters when Ego appeared on the big screen. Good evening, diamonds in the rough. Hope you all enjoyed your day. Now, the second part of the first selection starts tomorrow. It will exist out of a round-robin group league match. The first match will be between team X and Z. The top two teams will advance to the second selection. But if you are not one of those two teams, the top scorer of every team will also advance to the second selection. So make a choice! You? Or your team? With that, Ego left again. It was silent in the room. Everyone was thinking about the creepy man's words. Losing meant that you could never play for the national team.
