"(y/n), who is that." your fathers worried voice suddenly turned stern

"oh this is a friend of mine, his name is kunigami"

"good to know you're making friends despite your nasty attitude sometimes" Genji chuckled

"Genji.." you'd give him a glare if he was here

"anyways, we've got to leave. we have a game later to prepare for, i'll talk to you all later, i promise"

"what do you mean? the game isn't until t-""love y'a ma!" you cut kunigami off

"Alright, bye sweetie, we love you" your mothers cheerful voice chummed in

hanging up the phone, you turned to face kunigami fully

"your family seems sweet, where'd you get your nasty attitude from" he chuckled

"oh shut it wannabe hero" you scoffed walking away to get your food

you then proceeded to eat breakfast together

"hey, what language was your mother speaking at first" he spoke up while chewing on his food

"you were there from the beginning" you sweat dropped "it was french. she was born in france and spent most of her life there before moving to japan. so of course, she taught me her first language"

"cool, you're bilingual" he continued speaking with his mouth full "you speak any other languages"

"finish eating before speaking, i don't want to see what's in your mouth" you looked at him with disgust "also yeah technically i do, i understand english pretty well, but i'm not as fluent when it comes to speaking"

you continued to converse before finishing your food and parting way

you headed back to the dormroom while he went to who knows where

when you made it to the dorm, everyone was still asleep and so you decided to take a short nap

"match 9 ended in a draw between team Y and W which puts us in 3rd place" Iemon spoke "top 2 teams moves onto the second selection and the only match left is our final game"

with kuon betrayal, Iemon had now taken his spot as the team's strategist. even if his way of explaining wasn't as good, it was better than nothing

"If we draw, we wont make it past due to our goal disadvantage" he continued "so in general, to survive this selection, we need this win"

"hey, why's kuon listening to this" raichi scowled

"it doesn't matter, no one's going to make a deal with him anyway" you shrugged

"anyway, let's talk about the key players of our final game in team V" Iemon brought the teams attention back to the board as he portaited a picture of Reo, Nagi and Zantetsu "these 3 have scored a total of 18 goals combined in 3 games"

"Tsurugi Zantestu with 5 goals"

"Mikage Reo with 6 goals"

"Nagi Seishiro, their top scorer and the top ranked player in building 5, with 7 goals"

"we have to manage a way to deal with them because unless we do that, there are no chances for us to win"

'maybe he's overestimating them a little too much' you looked to the side 'and why does everyone believe that ranking bullshit that bowl-cut told us about. there's no way i'm going to trust his judgement' (first stage, denial.)
