Prestige

There it stood.

The famous newly built building, aimed to search for the ideal striker who could one day represent Japan's U20 team, demarcated from the rest of the country as if it has been built for illegal purposes. Well, from what our girl has heard, this might have actually been the case.

A supposedly "football-jail"-at least that's what the prisoners inside have revealed to her. No adequate food, minimal rooms, cameras here and there and lots of training sessions awaited them every morning. Not to mention the many losses the players had to endure, killed, deleted from their teams.

And soon Bastard München too.

The team gazed upon the blue hexagon building. A rather extraordinary built in the girl's opinion.

Speaking of the girl, she had absolutely no clue why she had to tag along with the group and follow them to a country-no, a whole new continent. Noa said it was necessary yet she didn't know why. She didn't play football nor did she have to manage anything there, at least Anri didn't mention anything about being present.

Nonetheless she agreed and didn't ask any further questions. The flight was completely free, all financed by the club and honestly, who wouldn't choose traveling to a foreign country to escape school?

"So, we going in or what?" one player asked which threw the rest of the team back to reality. Before Noa could answer, a reddish pink-haired, elegant woman stepped outside the facility with a notebook in her hand, greeting Bastard München.

"Good evening everyone. I'm Tieri Anri, Ego's personal assistant, and here to guide you through the building," her eyes looked at each and every player with a smile on her face, taking in their attires and their faces until they landed on the only girl within the group. She moved forward, standing in front of her and greeting her personally.

"I believe we've talked to each other already, right Miss Y/N?" she took her hands and held them, smiling kindly at the younger girl. The girl on the other hand was stunned. Never would she have thought to be met with such a beauty when talking to her the other day.

"Uh...yeah. I believe we did," she was too awestruck to say more, deciding an ordinary handshake would be appropriate enough. Anri nodded.

"Alright. You can follow me."

And the team did. The lovely assistant showed them around, explaining the purposes of most unfamiliar training units, how the boys' timetable looked like and how the rather odd lunch-breaks worked.

At the end, the boys changed into their beloved jerseys and made their way to the apparently new members of the team to greet and introduce themselves to.

"What will happen to her?" Ness asked, pointing at the girl. "Will she join us?"

Anri smiled. "Don't worry about Miss Y/N. We have another program planned for her," the girl's eyes widened. Another program specifically for her?

"In the meantime, as I've already explained, you will meet your new teammates. But since I doubt any of you speak japanese, I will be handing out interpreters which will translate everything you hear in german for a better communication within your team," the woman turned around and opened a shelf right next to the door to the Bastard München changing room, taking out a blue box with the blue lock logo on top and opening it to reveal several interpreters.

"These are prototypes invented by the Mikage family," she handed them out to the players, explaining further. "They adapt to your ears so when you're running around, jumping or frantically moving your head from left to right, they won't fall out," the last one to get the interpreters was Y/N.
