"I'm home!" Sayuri called as she walked inside the house.

"Welcome home, sweetie!" Miyako greeted back from the dining room.

"So, how was your test Sayuri?" Chiaki asked.

"I got accepted!" Sayuri exclaimed.

"Really?!" Keita gasped from the backyard.

"Are you serious?" Chiaki gasped.

"Yep!" Sayuri nodded.

"Great work, Sayuri," Chiaki exclaimed patting on Sayuri's head.

"Before we forget." Miyako said going to the next room, then she with a video tape.

"A videotape?" Sayuri questioned while reading the label. "Huh?"

The next day...

Sayuri's Imagination

Sayuri is standing in front of a soccer net and wearing the goalkeeper's uniform of you-know-who. An opponent player kicks the ball towards her. She then readied herself as her right hand starts to light up.

"God Hand!" Sayuri exclaimed as she raised her right hand up high. At the same time a large yellow hand appears above her. As soon as the ball is near the net, Sayuri thrusts her hand forward and caught the ball successfully. The crowd cheered while Sayuri looked at her hand, which had a burn mark on the glove.

Reality

Sayuri stared at the hand, just like she did in her imagination. She then the curled it up into fist and smiled as she looked on the school. Sayuri seems to be perked up from watching the tape Chiaki gave her yesterday. As she continued walking, she heard three voices up ahead.

"Sayuri!" called said voices.

Sayuri looked at the old building to notice Tenma, Shinsuke and Aoi in front of her.

"Hey guys!" Sayuri exclaimed waving at them.

"Good morning!" they saluted.

"Good morning," Sayuri smiled back.

"Looking very perky today, Sayuri," said Tenma.

"Yeah!" Sayuri nodded. "Especially after my uncle gave me that tape yesterday."

"Tape? What tape?" Aoi asked.

"The matches of Inazuma Japan 10 years ago," Sayuri smiled.

"REALLY??!" gasped both of Tenma and Shinsuke. "You watched Inazuma Japan?"

"Yes!"

"Amazing!" exclaimed Tenma. "Does that mean that you've seen Endou Mamoru?"

Sayuri nodded again.

"What technique you loved the most of him?" asked Shinsuke.

"I guess... either God Hand or Majin the Hand." Sayuri said.

"What about Gouenji?" asked Aoi.

"Fire Tornado was so amazing!" Sayuri exclaimed. "I wish if I could play like them."

"I'm so excited to play with Raimon!" exclaimed Tenma fist pumping the air.

"Us too!" Sayuri and Shinsuke fist pumped the air too while Aoi giggled.

Time skip - Afternoon

Once afternoon approached, Sayuri returned to the school, only to notice Tenma and Shinsuke running to the soccer building at a crazy speed.
