U-20 Training Camp

Inside of a conference room the members of the U-20 National Team were gathered. The room was furnished simply with desks and chairs. Coach Yasumori took it upon himself to greet his team of national treasures.

«The match is in two weeks!» He reprimanded them with a smile on his face. Of course, he would smile, after all he was sure of their easy victory.

«You all are the members of the U-20 National Team. The ones chosen for the sake of victory! And the long-awaited new addition to our team... Itoshi Sae!» Coach Yasumori continued. Despite Sae's initial expression of displeasure towards the National Team, Yasumori couldn't believe that those gems he had trained and coached were in truth just tainted ore.

No matter what Sae thought. Football was a teamsport, as such, he put his emphasize as a coach on team work and team moral.

Truthful to his expectations excitement broke out amongst the National U-20 Players. While a few players gasped, a few were acting with mild jealousy and sceptism towards the proclaimed prodigy. Not many paid attention to the Antennaed Demon that sat alone in one of the backseats without any care about any of them.

«As you know. Your opponnent will be Team Blue Lock! You must maintain the dignity of the U-20! Defeat is entirely out of question here!» Coach Yasumori spurted them on. He turned to Sae in hopes that the prodigy might add on some encouraging words for the team.

A severe miscalculation on his end.

«Uh...» Sae started at the sudden, unwanted request.

«... Be thankful that you get to play football with me.»

Sae commented dryly. «I don't have the slightest interest in any of you, and since you'll never have a chance like this again... Do your best not to piss me off. That's it.» Sae said matter of factly.

From the side Coach Yasumori was about to utter a complaint or warning towards the blunt midfielder. He stopped when the sound of a chair creaking interrupted them.

There, standing on his seat was no one other than the U-20's Team Forward, Sendo Shuto.

«Get off your damn high horse, genius. You might be a bit famous around the world, but you're just a second-division player in the end, aren't you?» He said with a hand tucked into his pockets.

«I'm a regular forwards in the best team in Japan. So watch you damn mouth. Because right now, I'm above you.» Sendo warned the prodigy.

Sae took a moment to ponder over the logic and implications in Sendo's words.

«What... about it?» Sae responded frankly, he couldn't care less about those titles and status. «As for you, you'll compete to be the top scorer in the nation, get in the national team, get an annual salary of 500,000$ marry a gravure idol, and then live a happy family life. That'd be the peak of your football life.»

Sae shot back at him clearly aware of the path common for a football player. He could see the visibly excitement on Sendo's face that grew more apparent with each point he mentioned. Sae's expression darkened slightly as his ego took over.

«My singular interest is in becoming the best in the world. There's a fundamentally different depth to our greed.» Sae said this words with deep conviction.

It was something Sae had always lived for and drove by, he was convinced of it to be true, but the moment these words left his lips, he felt a strange tuck on his heart. It was like something was pulling on it. For a brief flickering moment, he remembered the girl that was currently waiting outside in the hallway for him/for them, but he wasn't done yet and thus returned to his speech.
