[1 YEAR AGO]

We open up to a big stadium filled with people to see this Finals match for the All Japan High School Tournament; the largest amateur sport event in Japan.

So far, the score seems to be very one-sided...

SCORE: [5-2]

The team responsible for this deficit is Daisen Nishi High School, a prestigious school located in Akita Prefecture, Japan. Although the team in of itself is very good, one player stands out the most.

Y/N Kaneko. The one people call, The Emperor of the Pitch.

He's acquired that infamous nickname due to his unique style of play and how he acts on the field. Commanding and facilitating everything going on while on the pitch.

Y/N: "And that's game."

With the clock ticking down, the game finally comes to an end. The opposing team wallowing in their sorrow, while the winning team celebrates their one-sided victory.

After players lift up the trophy and celebrate some more, the Emperor; getting ready to leave, gets approached by the media.

Reporter: "Wow! What an amazing job securing the victory!"

Y/N: "Thank you."

Reporter: "With this being your first high school tournament, how do you feel?"

Y/N: "I feel indifferent. Wasn't much of a challenge really."

Reporter: "Well, any comments on the outcome of the whole tournament?"

Y/N then puts his thumb and his forefinger on his chin, presumably thinking of a response to the question asked to him.

He stops thinking and says...

Y/N: "I was expecting more from the many "great" players in the tournament. Like I said before, not much of a challenge."

Reporter: "Uh-Um, well-"

The reporter gets cut off by Y/N, preparing to talk more.

Y/N: "Ever since my games in middle school, no one ever really gave me a challenge. I was expecting the level of competition would increase greatly by the time I got into high school, but I guess I was mistaken. Because of this, I will be taking a break from soccer for the time being."

With all the reporters and some people walking by the interview, they stopped stunned by this young prodigy's declaration.

Reporter: "Wh-Wha-"

Cut off again, the reporter allows the young man to talk.

Y/N: "Thank you for your time."

The Emperor exits the interview with a closed-eyed smile plastered on his face.

With his speech leaving the people that were listening stunned and dumbfounded, he heads to the locker room with the medal on his neck. Taking a shower and then changing into different clothes, getting ready to head home.
