There were slight changes but nothing major. A rating of 447 was still too low, Harry just hoped to be able to pull through. With such thoughts, he fell asleep.
Everybody in the house woke up at 4 am sharp. The boys, their agent and Harry's Grandfather got ready around 4:30. They walked to the helicopter helipad where four helicopters were waiting for them. They sat in pairs in each helicopter. The agent sat alone, while Harry sat with his grandpa.
Unsurprisingly, there was one bodyguard in each helicopter. It was a new experience for the kids to travel by helicopter. Being so high up was really scary but thrilling. They took half an hour to go to another remote area.
Harry was once again surprised by his grandfather's wealth. This time they had come to a private airport in the middle of a gigantic area of rice crops. Harry couldn't help but wonder if it was even legal to own a private runway, let alone an airport. There were at least 5 private jets he saw.
Some males in navy blue suits arrived and saluted Harry's Grandfather. They then proceeded to guide everyone to one of the planes. Some people in uniforms (white shirts and black pants) came to guide the bodyguards to the luggage area.
There were no air hostesses, but one of the men in navy blue suits boarded the plane. The plane soon took off. Harry suddenly got nauseous not too long after. How he regretted having breakfast.
"I can't believe that as an aspiring football player you have plane sickness. You'll travel by plane a lot after becoming a professional. Will you be okay?" Harry's Agent said with concern.
"Don't be so concerned, sir. This guy totally deserves it. This demon. He made us train so much every day. It's payback from fate." Ali said with an annoying smug on his face.
"Hahaha, the football king has plane sickness. OMG! This couldn't get any better." Sherry snickered.
"It could.. If one day he missed a match because he was plane sick and it leaked to the media. *Breaking News: Harry Bazz misses out on the match because he is reported to have not recovered from his plane sickness!!* Robinson spoke like a news anchor with exaggerated actions.
Everybody had a good laugh, except Harry who had a miserable time.
'Maria, what's going on?' Harry asked weakly in his head.
"I don't know. It's not a physical or psychological problem. It maybe because your body and soul are different. Likewise, it may also be because your stats haven't fused yet."
Harry could only assume that was the case. His grandfather was concerned and suggested getting him diagnosed by a doctor.
After what seemed an eternity to Harry, the plane finally landed at the capital's airport. He didn't notice how and when he got in the car, reached the hotel, changed into his football kit, held his bag and entered the National Football Stadium.
Only when he was standing on that pitch did he come back to his senses. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.
'This is it! This is where my journey will begin!'
At 9 am sharp, the coaches walked in. To Harry's astonishment, many of the legends who were going to take part in the exhibition match were also there.
Harry recognised Reo Ferdinand due to having watched so many of his analyses after games, but his attention was quickly diverted to a man he didn't expect to see. Ronaldinho Gaucho.
Everybody has their favourite players and Harry's was Ronaldinho. The extravagant tricks, mesmerising skills, legendary passes, immaculate shooting, breath-taking free kicks and crazy ball control. He loved everything about Ronaldinho.
Harry's current state of mind resembled that of a little girl in love.
"Calm down! You'll make a fool of yourself." Maria awoke Harry from his stupor.
'Thanks. I totally forgot where I was.'
The various teenagers who were all over the pitch had already gathered in front of the coaches. There was a lot of whispering going on. Every one of them was excited to see the great players from such a short distance.
"Quiet." One of the coaches Harry didn't recognize took the lead to talk.
"Good morning to you all. I have three things to tell you. First of all, any of you who didn't make it to the stadium by now is disqualified. We will do a roll call to confirm the players present.
Secondly, we don't have time to waste on introductions. All of you kids will get a signed shirt from 2 players of your choice before you leave camp. You'll get to interact with the players a bit during the camps. Do not forget that you are not here for a fan meet, but a trial to enter the two most prestigious academies of world football.
Finally, we don't care about what position you played previously. You will all have to go through the same drills. We will guide you and access you accordingly. Let's go to the training grounds now. We only have five days."
Another coach came up with a list in hand and did the roll call. Unsurprisingly, nobody was absent. The coach with the list divided the kids into groups of five and assigned them under one coach each.
Harry was separated from his friends, who were all in different groups. He didn't recognize his coach who had a logo of Blaugrana on his tracksuit.
Once, everyone was assembled in the training grounds. A Red Devil's legend spoke about the rules of the camp.
"In this camp we are focusing on your football technique, skills, ability and basics. Your fitness doesn't matter much if you don't have natural talent. So, you will go through a fitness test only if you pass the camp.
We will test you in your basics, shooting, passing, defending and goal keeping. For example, for shooting you will have to go through volleys, headers, low shots, even free kicks etc.
Coaches, you may now begin to assign assessments to your groups.

5 days later, Harry stood distraught alongside Ali, Robinson and 67 other players. They had been disqualified. It was over for them. Their hopes, their dreams and for some of them their football journey.
Harry didn't hear a word of encouragement that the coaches said. He numbly took his belongings and left the training grounds. Ali and Robinson were hit hard as well, but they were able to notice that Harry didn't seem to be in the right frame of mind. They chased after him quickly.
Harry felt as if the sky had fallen and the world was crumbling. He wanted to escape. He subconsciously walked faster and faster until he started running. Soon he was sprinting at full speed.
He didn't notice where he was going at all. The city was new to him, and he just turned on the footpaths wherever the road took him. He was used to running every morning for more than 6 months. So he had good stamina. Ali and Robinson soon lost him with their slightly slower speeds and so did the secret agents protecting him.
Around 3 hours later, Harry felt weak from exhaustion and finally stopped. He couldn't find water in his bag and looked around. He noticed that he was on a very clean street with fancy houses. Harry could see a vague outline of a park a bit further ahead.
Harry dragged his feet to the park. His muscles ached, he felt thirsty and hungry. He knew he was lost. He didn't have his money or cellphone. Not only that, but he couldn't talk to Maria for some reason. He started panicking. By the time he reached the corner of the park, he suddenly fainted.
