Nagi woke up while scratching his chest. The sun shone down and illuminated his room through the small crack in his window curtains.

"NNGH..." mumbled Nagi while slamming his hand right on the alarm clock.

Like a zombie, Nagi droopily meandered around the room and gently pressed his finger on a small cactus.

"Morning...Choki...ow, I'm awake now."

He stared at his school uniform which hung at his bedroom door. With a sigh, Nagi decided to get ready for the day and go to school.

-----Hakuho High School-----

"Huh!"

"Hey, it's Nagi!"

"Nagi's here!"

"HOLY CRAP!"

The moment Nagi came to school, he was swarmed by his classmates. He pulled out the chair to his desk and sat down, only to be bombarded by further questions.

"You were amazing, dude! We saw you on BLTV!"

"AWESOME JOB! THAT GOAL WAS INSANE!"

One classmate, a girl with long, blonde hair and curly at the tips, smiled and clasped her hands on Nagi's desk.

"Where's Reo-kun? Where's Reo-kun? Where's Reo-kun?" she exclaimed eagerly.

Her questions were lost in the horde still surrounding Nagi.

"You're gonna go pro, right?!"

"Your offer is still good, right?!"

Nagi sighed and rested his head on the desk, "It doesn't matter anymore. It's all over now."

They were all stunned.

"Huh? But your pro offer-"

"I've had enough. I'm done with football."

Class started soon after, with the teacher giving his opening remarks, "You're third-years now, so you need to think seriously about the future."

Of course, just as before, Nagi put up a notebook to cover his head and slept until a distinct rumbling came from his stomach.

Oh... I'm hungry... I forgot to eat breakfast... good thing I packed this melon bread...

He reached inside his backpack and pulled out the treat, scarfing it down.

Yum-

"It's not lunch yet. And don't sleep in my class." scoffed the teacher. He had seen him in the back and walked over when Nagi wasn't paying attention.
