Horror of the Aliea Meteorite
NAGUMO HARUYA P.O.V.
"Raimon Junior High." Gran mumbled, passing by me as I walked down the halls. I noticed a smirk form on his face as he continued walking. I stopped in my tracks when I suddenly realized that Gran has found a potential rival team. "Tch." I growled. I continued my walk until I reached my destination, my chambers. I sat down on my chair, still mad at how Gran is always one step ahead of me. I sat there for a few more minutes imagining ways on how to get even with him. Three minutes pass by, and then, it hits me. I stood up, walked out, grinning from ear to ear.
I decided to try and find out about what it is about Raimon that made Gran so interested in them. My research on Raimon was still on-going until I recently found out that they had a match against Epsilon a few days ago in this school called Manyuuji. "First Gemini Storm, then Epsilon, and now Gran's taking an interest on Raimon, too?!" I shouted as I kicked a black soccer ball towards the goal. "A little frustrated, aren't we, Burn?" A voice said from behind my back. I turned around and found out that it was only Gazel. "It's none of your business." I replied coldly as I prepared to leave. "Don't you want to know more about Raimon?" He asked. I stopped walking after I heard his question. "Not really." I lied. "I know you want to find out more." He teased as he walked closer. "I do. But, I'm going to do this on my own." I replied, continuing my walk. I looked back at Gazel, who had a grin pasted on his face. "Why are you smiling like that?" I asked Gazel. "Oh. It's nothing." he replied, obviously a lie. "Well, see you later." He waved good-bye as he walked away. "That bastard. He's planning something." I thought as I watched Gazel's figure disappear in the dark.
Thanks to Gazel, I'm a lot angrier now. I kicked the ball once again, and due to the power I used up in kicking, the ball burst. "They're all planning something!" I said in frustration. I took another soccer ball and kicked it. I kept on releasing my anger on the soccer balls until I finally decided that I should also start forming a plan. "I should start researching again." I said to myself as I walked back to my room. I checked every source available that will give me a hint as to what kind of team they are. Newspapers, magazines, and even the internet. I tried every way possible. I decided then and now that I should do a research about the team's members. I turned on my computer and hacked my way into Raimon's database. "Okay, okay. Let's see now…" I said as I scrolled through the pages.

"That's it?!" I shouted at myself as I looked at the readily available information about this mystery team that's got everyone interested. I scrolled again hoping that I just missed some juicy information. I just sighed. I knew that I won't get anything from it anyway. I looked at the pictures of the members that were there. "Endo, their captain, is the one wearing the orange headband, huh?" I whispered as I proceeded with examining their faces, their features and everything else. "This is the team that Gran's so interested about?" I said. "There's nothing really interesting about them." I whispered to myself as if somebody was there with me. I looked at their pictures again and then, I notice him.
Even though it was just a picture, the very sight of him made me feel something I've never felt before in my life. His long, aquamarine hair tied up into a ponytail with very careful hands, his amber eyes that show his undying passion and will, and the light smile on his face. Everything about him, every single little detail, I remembered them all. I decided to take a look at the information that was given about him. I was forced to stop what I was doing when I heard someone speak. "Kazemaru Ichirouta. You're interested in him, huh, Burn?" I knew even without looking that it was Gazel. "What are you doing here, Gazel?" I asked, not even trying to hide the fact that I loathe his presence. Instead of leaving, he sat down on my bed and started to talk. "You want to know something about Kazemaru?" Gazel remarked, putting an emphasis on the name 'Kazemaru'. "I want to, but, like I said earlier, I'm going to do this on my own!" I half shouted. "Fine. Have it your way, then." He said as he left my room. I sighed heavily as I slammed my door. I went back to my computer and continued my research. 'Kazemaru Ichirouta. Hmm. So he's a defender?' I talked to myself as I looked at his information closely.
"I guess that's it then." I said, turning off my computer. I lied down on my bed with intentions of sleeping, but, like I thought, my mind is filled with images of Kazemaru. No matter how much I tried, my eyelids refused to get heavy, so I just lie there, lost in my train of thoughts. I tossed and turned around but to no avail. I closed my eyes wishing that if I kept them closed, sleep will see its way towards me. It doesn't. I opened my eyes and stood up. I paced around my room, and somehow knowing that tiring myself out would help make me sleepy. I hang on to that idea. When I was tired enough, I approached my bed slowly, lied down and miraculously found my way to dreamland.
