Chereads / White Lock / Chapter 4 - Soccer Club

Chapter 4 - Soccer Club

Today was my first day. I had to remain smart. I touched my face. 'Alright let's GO!' I smirked as I moved to the classroom on the front row.

I entered the classroom. There weren't much students there. Only 10 students. Looks like I wasn't late. I searched for a sit, especially the one by the window.

'Found one.' I saw a window, however it seemed that a guy with typical blonde coloured hair was already sitting there.

I went to him and asked, "Sir, can I sit beside you?" I asked, wanting to bait him for today only to snatch the window's position by tomorrow onwards!

The guy didn't say much. He nodded. I inwardly smirked, 'Looks like he is a introvert.' That's what I thought. Wanting to not let go of benefit of the situation, I took my sit beside him. Although he had the sit beside the window, I pretended to not care about it for now.

"Oh, there is handsome chunky guy here! Look, Look everyone!" A fatty bastard guy came. 'What the fuck?' I thought. I didn't want the bullies to target me.

The fatty guy had a ugly face. To make it worse, he seemed to be jealous about my face. And the way he was coming at me, things didn't look good..

"Did I do something to trouble you, fellow classmate?" I tried remaining ignorant and polite. The wise man said that pretending to be ignorant is always better than facing consequences of that. Actually that wise man is me.

"No, no, aren't you the so chunky and handsome guy. I just got curious about you." He laughed. I knew it. He came to make fun of me after all.

"Yes. I have a handsome face, I agree but yours is not that bad as well." I tried remaining polite.

"Whatever. I'll come to the point though. I want you to join my gamer's club. I want no rejection." He declared.

I instantly refused, "Nope I'm not joining it. I have plan for other club. Moreover aren't you from this class? Did you already join a club so soon?"

I guessed, 'He probably is from some senior class. What is he doing in this class, though?'

He laughed, "Ohoho, You don't have to worry about me Chunky, I am from this class only and as for how I already joined the club on first day? It was because the senior recruited me on first day."

Hearing the reasoning, I almost coughed blood. Just kidding.

"I see, thank you for your answer to my question." I remained polite. I had my strategy of dealing with bullies like him. Always remain polite!

"Phew.." I heaved sigh of relief. He finally went to do his things. I looked at the classmate beside me. I asked him, "Have you also joined a club?" I was just curious about him.

"No." He replied, clearly showing no enthusiasm about clubs.

"Why don't you join a soccer club with me then?" I asked, clearly wanting to draw another puppet for himself, which may help in his path to becoming the greatest Striker.

"Alright." He agreed.

"Ah right, I forgot. What's your name by the way?" I asked him his name. So that I can know the name of my pawn, that's all.

He smiled and replied, "It's Kunigami."

I was shocked, looking closer at him, it does resemble him from anime. What a surprise.

Soon the class was packed with boys and girls, I mean the students. Almost most of the girls had repeatedly glanced at me. Well that much I had expected because I knew I was very handsome.

"Thud" "Thud" They were the footsteps of someone. I wondered which student is coming this time? I looked at the classroom door. A bulky and fatty guy with glasses was coming.

You might wonder who was he? I wonder too. His presence had solidified the classroom. We all knew by now that he is the teacher. He came to his centre near the classroom board. Looking at us, he smiled, "Hello my dear students, I'll be your classroom teacher from now onwards. Please be in mine care, you unpolished gems." He introduced himself.

"My name is Kiro, you guys tell your names, and what are your goals or dream." He ordered every students. Well he had a interesting way of saying stuffs similar to someone I knew from Blue lock.

'Ego' I thought. But there was no way he is that most mysterious guy. I mean look at him, he is bulky guy. Although his face do look a bit similiar to his. Not that I care though.

I removed these useless thoughts as I focussed on getting to know my classmates. First came the average looking guy, he introduced himself, "I'm #$&@-, my dream is to be pilot. And I wish to be your friends everyone." He bowed.

Not that I cared, he was average. Plus I didn't care. Moreover he wouldn't be a useful pawn in mine soccer.

Next, tons of guys introduced themselves. Soon came the turn for me to introduce myself.

"Hello everyone. My name is Roy Kira. My goal is becoming the best striker of world. I hope to make good friends here." I said in my perfect Japanese accent to make gold impressions. And looks like, it worked.

Soon my bench mate had his chance to introduce. He meekly stood up and introduced himself, "I'm Kunigami. I've not decided my dreams yet. I will be in your care now." He bowed like other introverts.

Soon afterwards all students also introduced themselves. We had our first class over like this. Now it was lunch break. I ate my fills while sharing some with Kunigami in pretense of making our relationship seem "stronger." .

Later we had our Math, literature and science class. Most of these first lessons were boring anyway. Once our final class was over, the school was also over, atleast for those students who hadn't joined any school club.

I asked Kunigami to follow me to join the soccer club. We asked a senior on our way, he gave the direction of the club. We reached the school's soccer club. We came to the playground and saw that there were only 10 people there and they were playing football. Looks like the club was not much stronger but it was okay.

"Look, who we have here." A strong looking guy saw us entering. Others soon noticed us.

I took the lead in introducing us, "Hello seniors, can we join the soccer club? I'm.."

Just as he was about to finish the sentence, a ball smashed his face. Yes, it was a football.

The introvert friend beside me, got enraged "Bastard!" He was about to engage in a fight. I stopped him "Wait Kunigami, lets hear it."

The guy who kicked the ball was an average built fatty guy. He looked special if one looked more seriously at him.

"Our club name is not Soccer club." He declared, "It's White Lock." Just when he said this name, I was shocked. Because the white had replaced the blue. It wasn't simple at first look. It was then that I knew something wasn't right. The guy who kicked the ball at me wasn't some easy-pie which you find anywhere. He had the skills.

"Ah we are sorry." Roy pleaded, "We just wanted to play soccer so we were looking for a soccer club, we didn't mean to insult your club by saying this!" He explained.

A calm good looking guy came forward, said "It's okay Sweety pie." He exclaimed, "Look at you, how polite you're. I welcome you to our club "White Lock." He said, "My name is Romio. The guy who kicked football at your face is Rommy, my brother. I'm sorry for his rude behavior. And this strong muscle-head is Sam, our second strongest."

"Hmph" Hearing this, Sam harrumphed but didn't reject. I observed their reactions. I felt it. They were all reeking of egoist at their cores. It would be fun.

"Now now, my two new students, what you guys are doing here?" Kiro, our new classroom teacher made his entrance. His fat body made the entrance look grand as he dragged his fat-ass body on the field to us. All the while, he was eating snacks.

"Hello teacher, what are you doing here." The introvert Kunigami asked Kiro, which made Kiro reveal a Fatty smile which made me feel cringe.

"What do you mean? I'm the coach of White Lock. You guys need to ask my permission if you want to join my club." He smiled.

I understood then. By some sort of butterfly effect because of my reincarnation, some big sort of change had already taken place before Blue Lock timeline. The name White Lock which I never heard of while reading Blue lock manga suddenly came to existence. It must be that butterfly effect!

"Yes sir, Please give us the permission to join the club." Me and Kunigami bowed. Bowing was a traditional thing of Japan. We were 'obliged' to bow at our elders. Not that I cared.

"Let's go to a test, to see if you guys manage to qualify or not to join our club." Kiro declared. He seemed excited to test us.

"Sure, what do we have to do to qualify joining your club?" I asked.

"Its simple. Make a goal against me. I'll be the goalkeeper." The fatty coach showed his white teeths as he said this.

Hearing this, I was happy, I thought that it would be easy peasy since this guy was too fatty. I doubted if he could even block my shots.

Atleast that's what I thought then but reality hit different. Here I was, in a penalty shot-out against Kiro. And I failed miserably. The fatty coach always managed to pull his body at right moment to block the shot from any angle! If I hit the shot from top right or top left corner then he would slightly jump and use his left or right hand to block the shot. It was all useless.

It was the last shot I had, I took deep breath and moved fast, I created a feint trying to make him jump towards the left or right side or atleast try to make him think that the goal will come from upper corner. He knew exactly what went in my mind. It was a mistake. He didn't move. The ball came right at him. I lost the final chance. Sure, he was a monster of a goalkeeper.

It was Kunigami's chance. He failed miserably as well. Unlike me who practiced soccer since 5 year old, it seemed to me that he was playing soccer for first time. Still he had good talent so he started getting better with ball and basically managed to pull decent shots towards the end. However, he failed in scoring against him just like me.

The fatty Kiro guy looked at us, enjoying the last look a loser would give to winner. He scolded us, "You lost, now don't waste my time. I need to train other kids here. Get lost, you both."

"I'm sorry for not living up to your expectations, Sir." I declared, "But we will not give up. We will come to take the same test again tomorrow." I wasn't willing to give up easily. Kunigami who looked as if he has recently awakened and had a goal now also nodded after hearing my words.

Seeing him act more like an extrovert than just introvert, I thought to myself 'Looks like the loss this time was beneficial to him. He seems awakened.'

After that, we turned our back and were about to leave the field where the White Lock trained their soccer. However soon, we were stopped.

"Stop you two brats. I was just joking. You both can join our small club! It doesn't matter if you're weak striker or not, I'll make you guys into better strikers. But remember, that here no player is defender, midfielder or forward, we all are strikers." Kiro asserted, giving us our deserved place in the team.

"Welcome, you both." The whole white Lock team welcomed us.
