Instinct

1. A Hat-Trick Hero Emerges

Daiki couldn't believe it, he had just scored a hat-trick in his local team's match against the Yokohama Red Stars. Playing as a winger, he had managed to outpace and outmaneuver the defenders of the opposing team, scoring each of his goals with a different technique. The first one was a powerful shot from outside the box, the second was a precise header from a corner kick, and the third was a mesmerizing dribble through the defenders before slotting the ball past the goalkeeper.

After the match, as he was walking off the field, a man approached him. It was Kenta Nakamura, a Japanese football legend who had played for clubs in Spain and France. Nakamura had been watching the match and was impressed by Daiki's performance. He struck up a conversation with Daiki, asking him how he had managed to score those three amazing goals.

"It was instinct," Daiki said with a shrug. "I just knew where the ball needed to go."

Nakamura was in shock. He had chills running down his spine. He couldn't believe that someone so young could have such an incredible sense of the game. He turned to Daiki and said, "I want you to come to Seiryuu Football Academy. It's one of the best academies in Japan, and I think you have what it takes to play at the highest level."

Daiki couldn't believe his ears. Seiryuu Football Academy was a dream come true. He had heard so much about it, and now he had a chance to be a part of it. He agreed immediately, and Nakamura told him to bring his family along for the tour of the academy.

The next day, Daiki, his brother, and his mother took the train to Seiryuu Football Academy. They were greeted by Taro Sakamoto, a midfielder who had just made his professional debut in the French First Division. Sakamoto had played for Seiryuu Football Academy in his youth, and he knew everything there was to know about the academy.

Sakamoto gave them a tour of the academy, showing them the training facilities, the dorms, and the cafeteria. He explained how the academy was focused on developing young players and how they provided a holistic approach to training, including physical, mental, and tactical training.

As they were walking around, Nakamura pulled Daiki's mother aside and talked to her about the dorms and the food. He reassured her that Daiki would be well taken care of and that he would have everything he needed to succeed at the academy.

After the tour, Sakamoto took Daiki to see the training of the B-team. Daiki was speechless. The players were so technical and precise in their movements, and the level of intensity was off the charts. Daiki couldn't help himself and had to grab a ball and start dribbling.

He started to weave in and out of the B-team players, using his incredible pace and agility to leave them in his wake. He was about to score a goal when he was tackled hard by the B-team captain, Shogo Tanaka. Tanaka demanded to know who Daiki was and why he was on the pitch with Sakamoto.

Nakamura arrived on the scene and explained that Daiki was the newest member of the team. Tanaka was skeptical, but Nakamura assured him that Daiki had what it takes to make it at Seiryuu Football Academy. Tanaka grudgingly accepted and welcomed Daiki to the team.

Daiki felt a mix of emotions as he realized that he had a lot to prove to his new teammates. He knew that his natural talent could only take him so far, and that he would need to work hard to earn their respect. But he was determined to show them what he was capable of, and he knew that he had the instinct and drive to become a great player.
