-St. Calia Soccer Field-

Noa: Is that all you've got?

Ray: Ugh...! I can't believe we lost...!

Eve: Hmm.. She really won.

Ami: What do you mean "really"? Weren't you sure about it?

Eve: Be quiet. Results are all that maters.

Noa: Huh?!

Ami: You can all go back now.

Wizol: Do you expect us to back off just like that?! No way! We'll get our revenge!

Ami: You pathetic guys... Do you really want the whole universe to know that you lost to a girl from an unknown planet?

Ray: Ami's right... The Galaxy League is not far ahead. Let's go.

Wizol: Argh! This isn't over!

Ami: Eve, can I go now?

Eve: Thanks, Ami. You can go.

Noa: I feel very offended... But I'll let this one slide. I have no time to waste with you. Go away.

Eve: Okay, you've passed the test. You've done well against the Nebrion players.

Brett: Nebrion?

Noa: Are you even listening to me?

Eve: I don't have time to fight with you. I'll help you enter the Galaxy League. Is he part of your team? I'm not sure about him... But I'll let him play in the Galaxy League as well.

Brett: I feel very underestimated...

Eve: Our goal is the Galaxy League, so you'd better have to come up with a very good team.

Noa: That's not a problem, but... Why do I have to do that?

Brett: Are you serious about playing soccer in space?

Eve: It's not exactly wrong... But "space" is such an abstract word in this case. Well, for an underdeveloped planet, I guess that's as far as you can imagine.

Noa: Who are you really? You come here all of a sudden, insult us and speak of words we don't understand. What do you want?

Eve: Okay, I'll say it once again. I'm Eve and I'm here to take you to the Galaxy League. You're going to win the Galaxy League, and become the ruler of the galaxy.

Noa: Are you expecting me to believe that I am to play in a soccer league that decides the ruler of the galaxy?

Eve: Don't think of it too deeply. All you have to do is win.

Noa: What if I say I'm not entering?

Eve: Hmm... I'm not sure. I've never met a person who said no to me.

Noa: I'm not interested in such unrealistic fantasy stories. I'm busy preparing for the high school league.

Eve: High school league? Well, I don't mind if you want to do both at once... But I'd prefer if you prioritize the Galaxy League. How's your schedule?

Noa: Well, if I'm to play both leagues, I'll have to... What am I saying... You almost had me there.

Eve: We can adjust schedules... How about the team formation?

Noa: As usual I guess... I'll need to make a few changes...

Eve: Okay, then let's start with team formation.
