After Inazuma Japan won FFI, most of it's members had gone back to normal life. Or, as close to normal as it could ever be. Fudou Akio had been transferred to Raimon as a Goverment protection as they still didn't quite trust the boy, but figured his friends would keep him in order. It worked out well, as the funding for his schooling came from the Goverment, meaning his mother didn't have to work as hard to support them.
Though, his mother still had her previous husbands debts to deal with even if things were improving for the Fudou family.
Gouenji Shuuya's father had congratulated him, though still gruff. He started to come and watch his sons matches and became more involved with his two children, though he still held a small grudge for soccer. Yuuka was overjoyed for her brother, to the extent she had accidentally broken a few windows when she insisted on kicking the ball around with her hero and brother.
Endou's Mother had been brought to tears when he son came home. A few days later she received a call from her father, Daisuke, and the two had a long chat. Endou hadn't seen his mother so sad and happy at the same time, but he understood it. After all, that had been his reaction to winning the footbal frontier international. He had been overjoyed at reaching the world's peak, but for now atleast, he wouldn't be able to fight some of his greatest rivals until twelve month later, the second annual football frontier.
Seijirou Kira had been allowed off on supervision occasionally to visit Sun Garden. His appearances were coveted by his children, most importantly Hitomiko. Her and Seijirou had started to repair their relationship, even if it would never be like it was before the Aliea Incident. Midorikawa Ryuuji, Saginuma Osamu, Nagumo Haruya, Suzuno Fuusuke as well many of the other children had crowded around Hiroto. To the younger kids he was their hero, the elder kids he was their rival.
Ichinose Kazuya's surgery was a success, but still had to go through almost a year of rehabilitation to play soccer. When he did, he fulfilled his promise and joined a Pro Soccer League for kids. For his first match, most Raimon members watched from the club, but Aki Kino had gone over to support him in person.
Raimon Soccer club had grown very large, almost %25 of all students had joined. Most older members were overjoyed at this fact, but a few withheld their opinion on the grounds that it didn't seem to matter what they thought. It was weaseled out of them that they thought if the Soccer Club was so huge they wouldn't be able to play as much, or would be forgotten, but Endou convinced them they were all precious friends and allies.
