Outside of the clubhouse, Endou had burrowed a truck similar to that of a firetruck that their school owned, and had climbed to the very top of the long ladder, a soccer ball in hand. The Raimon soccer club members had gathered at the front door of their clubhouse, alongside with Felisa. Someoka had walked towards the truck — just as Endou had instructed to him before —and waited patiently, as Endou brought the ball over his head.

"Here I go!" Endou yelled, and Someoka responded back.

"Yeah!"

Endou then threw the ball down, and Someoka waited for the ball to come at him. He jumped — attempting to do a mid-air kick — but failed to do so. Instead, the ball hit his leg, and was set off balance in mid-air. Someoka was able to stop himself from falling face-first, and Endou caught the ball, since it was sent straight for him. Endou sighed as he caught the ball before it descended downward.

"Use more strength!" Endou instructed from above, his waist hanging onto the railing, like a white sheet hanging on a laundry line.

"All right! One more time!" Someoka yelled, his determination flaring even more.

"Yosh!" Endou threw the ball once more, but it ended up going over Someoka's head. Someoka ran after the ball, the hissatsu technique practice turning into a game of catch.

"Where the hell are you aiming?! Quit goofing off! I'm not here to pick up balls!"

At one side of the clubhouse, Aki watched Someoka and Endou practice, her back resting comfortably on a tree bark. Even though Someoka's yelling was a bit annoying, it was nice seeing the boys practice so diligently for their upcoming match. Domon walked towards the green haired teen, bringing her attention towards him. Aki scanned the tall boy's attire, and noticed that Domon was fully decked out in the Raimon soccer team's uniform, its sleeves a bit longer than the other's uniform.

"Yo! So, how do I look?" Domon inquired, while doing slight poses in front of the green haired girl.

"It looks good on you." Aki complemented towards her childhood friend.

"Aki, you're involved in soccer again?" Domon questioned the girl, remembering what happened to their other childhood friend. A frown wanted to make its way to his lips, but Domon refrained from doing so, all for the sake of appearances. Aki turned her head slightly to the side, and saw her teammates practicing.

"Min'na, gambatte!" Aki cheered from her spot, slightly scaring the tall boy in front of her. Domon stared at his childhood friend, knowing well enough that that subject was still a sore one. He couldn't stop his slight frown from showing, vaguely remembering the events that occurred in the past.

He turned his head to the side, trying to find anything to distract him from that memory, and he caught himself staring at the calculating figure of Felisa. Her body was poised to perfection, and she held a strong air around her. Nothing seemed off about her, except for her lack of participation in the team's practice, as well as giving them well needed advices. For a girl of her past status, she would be more than a big help on the team for sure. But, why? Deeming it ridiculous to start questioning, Domon decided that he would watch her closely, and exploit the things she is hiding.

With Endou and his teammates, Endou brought that ball over his head, looking down upon the teal haired boy below him.

"Let's go, Kazemaru!" Endou called from above, getting ready to throw the ball down towards the teal haired teen.

"Yeah!" Just when Endou was bout to toss the ball down, out came the school's maintenance man from the side of the truck.

"Yo, you guys are working hard!" The man yelled, craning his head up to look at Endou, then stopping at the side.
