The very next morning...
I laid on a bench in the training room while looking up at the roof. I wasn't able to sleep the previous night due to overthinking. I was really stressed.
The door of the room creaked open as I turned around, almost falling down.
"Atsushi-kun." The coach called as I sat up.
"Morning coach." I said.
"I was only informed the previous night, so I couldn't tell you, but you'll be joining me to the branch in SW East branch 2." He said.
🦅...
"Huh?"
We arrived at the second branch in the afternoon. They were some other kids there, probably from my world.
"Looks like we arrived in time." He said, dabbing his face with a towel.
"Why'd we come here?" I asked, walking behind him.
"Well, this is more like a meeting with all the captain's and their coaches." He said, walking towards another man and a girl.
"Hey, Haruya-San." The man said, smiling at the coach.
"Hey, Tamayo-kun."
They began talking as I looked behind the man.
*Is she the captain of her team?* I thought as she turned to me sharply.
"O-oh, hey." I said, smiling.
"Hmph." She said, looking away immediately.
*Well, she's one big of a deal.* I thought faking a smile.
After our coaches finished talking, they took both of us to a very big room. Some other guys were there, too.
"Yeah, so you guys stay here and receive instructions, we'll see you guys later."
"Huh? Wait a minute... coach." I said as he walked out while smiling.
"Ugh..." I said, looking back into the room.
We walked into the room, which looked more like an indoor field.
*Whoa, looks good to me.* I thought, looking around.
The guys that were there were playing amongst themselves while some stayed on their own.
"I wonder what this is all about." I said as the girl walked away from me.
*She could have at least stayed a little😑* I thought, walking towards a basket filled with ball.
I grabbed one of the balls and began juggling it. Everyone minded their business, so there was no one to play with.
"Seriously, I was just training with my teammates back in the dorm. Why did they have to bring us here and not say anything to us." I heard someone say as I looked at him.
Just then, a boy walked in, escorted by three other men in black.
"Oh, hey there, dearest captain's." He said, smiling while standing on a podium.
"Who's this?" Some people began murmuring.
"Okay, I'm the one son of the one in charge of SW East, so I'm practically the one in charge right now." He said, smiling.
"Huh?" People asked, surprised.
Well, it's not surprising given the fact that he's too young.
"Hey! Don't give me that crap! Why the hell did you bring us here?" The captain of Team F asked angrily.
"Hmm..." The guy said, shaking his head.
"You can get out if you want to. No one's gonna stop you." He said.
"Tch..."
*Looks like he's not leaving.* I thought looking at the guy.
"Well, looks like no one else has a problem, then..." He said as one of the guys in black came forward.
"This is a special session held just for the captain's... for the next 7 d..."
"Yeah, yeah, you guys will be staying here for a week, we'll have you learn some more moves." The boy said, yawning.
"Hey, Endō-San take them to the dorms." The boy said, walking out.
*Well, that was short.* I thought, kicking the ball into the basket.
"Oh, before I forget..." He said, looking back.
"Training starts very early tomorrow." He said before walking out.
We all walked behind the guy assigned to us as he began giving us a short tour of the place.
*Whoa, this place is by far better than our dorms.* I thought as we arrived at the new dorm.
*Holy cow, is this a dorm or a hotel?* I thought, looking at the very big and beautiful building.
"So, the keys given to you have the number of your room attached to it, find your rooms with it. And lunch will be served in 30 minutes' time." He said before walking out.
"Whoa. This place is sick." Someone said as we walked into the hotel, I mean dorm.
I looked for my room, found it and walked in while locking the door behind me.
"Wow, the inside is also beautiful." I said smiling before jumping on the king-sized bed.
*And it's fluffy too.* I thought smiling while rolling on the bed.
"Wait a minute, I didn't bring any clothes with me, what will I put on?"
"Answer: there are clothes inside the wardrobe." I heard a voice say.
"The hell?!" I shouted while falling off the bed.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Leni and you'll be in my care throughout your stay here." The device or something said as I stood up.
*This place... is really something.* I thought dusting my pants.
