After that day I have been continuously playing alone , day and night , sick or healthy, rain or heat i continued because i loved everything about soccer.
「3 YEARS LATER 」
After 3 years I am currently going to a local soccer academy , setting my sights being the best stricker in the world using this academy as a stepping stone and become a regular in just a month because I was confident in my skills but to my surprise it was f*ing favouritism that was being practiced here , even when I was clearly better that those dead weights I was infuriated when i came to that realization
But still I could not give up that even made me train even harder and I thought that if I train hard enough these geezers would recognize me and give me a chance
A few months passed
And our coach announced that a scout was coming I saw this as an opportunity and worked even harder ,My "teammates" have always been jealous of me ever since i joined this lowly academy and expressed it by always bullying me feeling a sense of satisfaction and security by doing that ,well i dont blame then im the STRONGEST after all , I guess their fear of having their positions stolen away.
The day the scout came arrived and I woke up feeling excited that I'll show those nobodies my strength , my mother had already gone for work I wanted to tell her about the scouts as i came out from her room and saw a box with a note on it saying "sorry I cannot come watch you play yugen I I know this is a big day for you but I got you a present " I opened it and saw a brand new pair of boots years started rolling down my eyes because we could barely afford 2 square meals what was going through my brain was "how could she afford this"
I wiped off the tears on my face and strengthened my resolve and headed out
The scouting started and ended with me on the bench my expression turned dark and my teammates came to rub their scholarship abroad saying " see this you b*stard it's thanks to my connections you never have a chance to begin with you can go use that talent and eat sh*t " , kicks yugen to the floor and leaves
Yugen gets up and goes behind a building and started bawling his eyes out and thinking "he he he heh how pathetic am I wanting to be the best striker but i cant do sh*t "
And the shouts with everything he has
After getting out of the facility Yugen was walking home witth cold yet tired expression on his face
A crazy grin on her face
Yugen sensed something flying at him and dodged the ball and used a control technique to bring the ball under control
"Haha I guess I wasn't wrong when I saw you" the woman said
Yugen responded 'who are you'
Feeling awkward she responded 'no need to get startled my name is mika I'm a good guy hehe I just wanted a cool entrance'Mika feeling flustered said while moving her hands in a awkward way
Yugen thought " that speed and power in that shoot was no joke I barely got it under control without a doubt she is strong "
Mika- haha you are strong ,I didn't expect a player of your calibre to be in a worthless place like this , how pitiful
Yugen- did you just come here to mock me if so get lost
Mika glances around and her expression turned serious when she said 'i have a rough idea of what's going on '
Let's play a bet on a one versus one
If you win I'll do anything you say if I win you have to do anything I say sounds good?
He nods yes
Yugen in thought "if I win Ill be able to go to a better academy and give my mother "
MATCH UP
MIKA VS YUGEN
Yugen wasting no time and gets started dashing at Mika , Mika grins and says 'Hoh'
Mika facing Yugen head on ,The air around Mika changes and mika's cuteness turned cold
Yugen hesitated a bit but maintaining his composure, Mika stepsovers at an incredible speed but yugen predicted her path "it's left "
Mika drags the ball forward and stops it and follows with dragging it back and a rabona through his legs
Yugen"what the "
Mika- looks like I win tehe, oh and what the hell are you doing moping around because a f*king scout didnt chose you , what a joke
If you can' find a path you make your own path "
Suddenly yugen's memories started coming back about the promise he made to himself, the training he's done , that feeling it gave him
Mika- Make your own path
Yugen on the ground clenches his fists and accepts the paper Mika is stretching to him
And thought to him self " tch that was pathetic of me to let a tribal thing like that bother me I will be the best striker in the world
Mika smiles and leaves
With yugen clenching the paper while crying
