It was emotional to say when the team left and she had to stay in Japan, Chia wouldn't admit that she was near to tears when they left, she was pretty sure that her eyes were glossy, but to return to their level from her fall, she needs to learn how to overcome her demise.

"Chia Romanio?" Chia turned around, holding her suitcase, to face a man, "Ohohoho! My name is Zhao Jinyun and I will be your trainer!" Next to the trainer was a girl she never met before.

"Hello there, my name is Lisa and I am your host and your guardian for this predicament." Lisa was a serious woman, with short black hair like a bob and glasses.

"Lisa here will feed you, house and clothe you! She is your guardian for your stay here Ohohoho!"

It was a month into the training, and due to the language barrier Chia had to be homeschooled, but an upside of it was that she gets to text her friends daily. She would take pictures of Japanese traditional food and the sights she got to see.

Now, the training was different from what she was used to, instead of a harsh list of instructions, she was met by Zhao who would give her weird and surprising tasks, chores even.

A week ago Zhao told her to walk across the nearby park with a book on her head, making sure that it doesn't fall off once. While she was walking, Zhao would poke her constantly to make her fall, Chia was becoming furious. Even so when Chia had to learn how to sit properly, and not properly like a high-class mannered person, but properly from scratch: where to place her feet, how she back shall be formed, and how to move her body while sitting. It was infuriating.

But Chia remembered that her soccer life was on the line, so she was back on track with a positive mindset. Though once in a while she would slowly slip into insanity for having two friends to talk to face to face, Lisa would be away for most of the time so Chia was alone at the house. Chia was about to snap.

She needed contact with someone and she cannot settle for Zhao's instructions nor the usual face time of her friends (she still loves them but it wasn't facing-to-face and she was about to throw hands). For the first time, Chia decided to go outside into foreign lands. Chia has a feeling that she would regret this.

Chia kept her phone tight with her, she wanted to look pretty but simplistic. She texted Alonso on which clothes she would wear outside and they both decided on jean shorts and a white shirt, Luther chose the denim jacket and Bergamo chose the black boots, Clario chose the minimalistic small sleepers earnings and bracelet. This became a regular habit since Chia would take a total of 1 hour to choose her clothes.

Just in case, Chia was ready to call the group chat with one click away.

Her first option was shopping, the mall she went to was 8 floors tall with a plethora of shops. Chia wanted to study Japanese in her free time and bought 'A beginners guide to Japanese (Spanish version)' She was surprised to see a book like this here, what a coincidence she thought.

Chia wanted to go to the cafe next but then again she can't speak or read Japanese which would be a problem, she could guess the menu but she wanted to try something new.
