Disclaimer: *points at myself* Is this how the genius creator of Inazuma Eleven looks like?! I think not!

"Here?" Kazemaru Ichirouta asked as he broke the silence that was caused by a mixture of confusion and shock.

Endou Mamoru have successfully convinced the coming high school group - temporary members included - to stay after they've just finished their graduation match. They gave their goodbyes to their long time rival, Teikoku Gakuen and also asked for the first and second year members - minus Otonashi Haruna and Kurimatsu Teppei - to leave before them with the reasoning that they still had one last important duty to fulfill before they finally leave. They were then told to follow their even-more-enthusiastic-than-usual former captain himself to wherever he wanted to lead the gang. To their surprise, they ended up in front of the old soccer clubroom.

"This is one of those 'this is where everything started' drama talk, isn't it?" Matsuno Kuusuke deadpanned. He wasn't really displeased if that was to be the case, he was just honestly being his sassy self. Those who heard him just smiled in the process, they've already grown accustomed to the cat-designed capped forward's personality.

Endou let out a good-hearted chuckle to what he heard. "I've already done that earlier, Max," he said with the probably brightest grin in the world. "This time, everyone's getting a turn with the pep talk," he flashed them another grin.

Everybody shared incredulous glances. Did they hear it right? They'd be having their very first recitation in the club and on their last day there? Before anyone could word a response, Kino Aki appeared with a box full of black pentel pens.

"Endou-kun told me about this yesterday," Kino informed as she handed Gouenji Shuuya a marker.

"So, what is 'this' exactly?" Kidou Yuuto, who was standing beside the flame striker, asked the manager as she provided him the said pentel pen next.

"You have to wait for everyone first before you get an answer," the greenette said with a gentle smile, earning an arched eyebrow from the caped strategist.

"Is this not everyone yet?" Kidou asked again. He wasn't really fond of situations wherein he knew nothing about. As much as he and everyone who knew him was concerned, he opted to always be prepared in any given circumstances. That included getting information no matter how small to deduce something from. Unfortunately for him, this wasn't one of those situations.

"We should really just do what they say," Handa Shinichi supplied, a bit too excited compared to his usual mood.

"Handa's right," Gouenji said as he heard the two. "Besides, have you ever seen Endou do 'mysterious' before?" Gouenji took Kidou's silence as a yes and continued talking. "This seems like it's gonna be fun," he added as he twirled the marker on his hand.

"Did I make it?" everyone turned their attention to where the voice came from. Shock was obvious to their expressions as the arrival of another former rival finally registered to them.

"Afuro-kun!" Fubuki Shirou perked up, meeting the gaze and smile of the one and only captain of Zeus.

"Aphrodi! I'm glad you could make it!!" Endou greeted, making the blond look his way.
