the soccer war chapter 2: the new school year
Five years have past, and Japan has turned into the world's most soccer powered country. Every soccer player in the world who comes from the elite ranks studies in Japan to learn about soccer. All schools now require soccer to be learned by the young Japanese students. And what's the most prestigious soccer school in Japan?
Raimon Junior High.
All the students who applied and passed the entrance exam were walking to the school building, with backpacks held onto their backs and a smile on their face. The school atmosphere was full of cheery voices and excitement. And one of these students who passed, was none other than our beloved hero, Matsukaze Tenma.
"I can't believe we passed into Raimon!" Tenma exclaimed excitedly, next to him was Aoi, Shinsuke, and Taiyou. The four kids passed the entrance exam and are now more excited than ever to attend the school.
Tenma and his friends were walking to the front door of the school when the door opened and a girl walked out of the school. She had wore a purple and white striped hoodie that covered her face, but Tenma took a glimpse of the girl's eyes. Her ocean blue eyes stared back at his big metallic blue eyes. Then the girl briskly walked away, and Tenma looked at her like...there was something about her. She was wearing the skirt of the girl's uniform, so she obviously is a student of Raimon. A new one, maybe?
"Tenma, is everything alright?" Taiyou asked, tapping on Tenma's shoulder to wake him up from his daze.
The boy jolted in surprise and turned to the orange-haired boy. Tenma shook his head and made a small chuckle, reassuring to his friend that he was alright.
"I'm fine, Taiyou. Don't worry about me!" Tenma responded and grinned.
Taiyou didn't seem to buy it at first, as he stared at Tenma's face to see if he changed to that flustered expression he made when he lied. But Tenma's expression change at all, so he smiled back and told him that he'll going ahead now. Tenma said goodbye to Taiyou and entered the building. Aoi and Shinsuke did the same thing and went to their own school buildings.
In Raimon Junior High, there are ten school buildings. The Goalkeepers Building where all goalkeepers stay, the Defenders building for defenders, the Midfielders building for midfielders, the Forwards school building for forwards, the Managers/Trainers building for the managers, the main school building for facilities like the faculty's office and the library, three other soccer training buildings, and an auditorium. They are specially used to train students to become exemplary and outstanding soccer players. Those who fail, will be kicked out of the school immediately.
And yes, this is a boarding school.
Now, Tenma was all alone...and he better head to his school dorm before the opening ceremony starts!

"Nanami, you're late." a boy's voice complained as a dark purple haired girl entered the room. Her ocean blue looked at the boy, his hair with nearly the same colour as him but his hair is spiked up and his indigo eyes glared at her. She looked down at the floor and murmured a "Sorry, Shin-nii..." before taking a seat on a red velvet wooden chair.
Nanami took out a PSP Vita from her jacket pocket and started playing her video game again. As she played, the boy named Shin was looking out at the window. Students were running to their respective dorms, and he couldn't help but laugh. When all the students had to run to the dorms assigned to them written on the letter of their approval to the school, he didn't need such a thing. Shin and Nanami Kaneshiro didn't need to be treated like the others, they're special, why?
Their uncle was the principal to the damn school.
"Shin-nii, you know I saw an interesting boy a while ago." Nanami spoke up.
"Oh? How did he look like?" Shin asked.
"Well, I didn't see much. But his eyes...they were big and blue. Like, they were hiding something." she said, as she pressed a button in her PSP Vita that activated a special power to her character in the game.
Shin made a curt grin as his sister finished speaking. Whenever Nanami tells him things like that, he'll be oh-so-interested in the person she would mention and hunt the person down. Not because Nanami seem to "like like" them, but it was something more than that...
"Nanami-" Shin walked to his sister's side and pressed a button to pause her from playing. The purple-haired girl turned to her brother's face and glared at him. But Shin just chuckled and smiled maliciously, "Tell me, my dear sister...tell me more about this boy you saw."
~O~O~O~O~O~O~
In the Midfielders dorms, there seem to be a lot of new students for the midfielders. Girls ran to their respective rooms as well as the boys. Of course, the rules of the girls and boys should have separate areas is always tolerated. If anything breaks that rule, there are consequences.
"Hey...I remember you...right?" a girl with light brown hair (and red highlights at the tip) that reached past her behind tapped the shoulder of a elbow-length, brown-haired girl. The dark red eyes of the light brown-haired girl met the green eyes of the other girl.
"You...must be...Aleks Shinozaki-san, right? You're from the year higher than me..." the brown-haired girl responded and Aleks nodded.
"Yeah, and you're Fujisaki Miharu-chan." Aleks responded, "I still can't believe you're still in the school. Last year, almost everyone from the midfielders seem to have been kicked out of school because of that."
Miharu sighed, "I know...I even had a friend who used to be here but last year, she..."
Aleks gave Miharu a pat before she could say any more words. Last school year in Raimon Junior High was the most unfortunate since the first time it opened, because many students were kicked out because of an incident. What incident? Well, the details are confidential for now, as there are many versions of the story from every single one of the students.
"Well, Miharu-chan. I'm in my dorm now, so I guess...I'll see you?" Aleks waved at the junior and Miharu waved goodbye back. Aleks entered her dorm, leaving Miharu all alone in the hallway of girls' part of the Midfielder dorm.
She better get to her dorm too, so she scampered quickly to her dorm number 103. Miharu opened the door and she was greeted by an unfamiliar person. It was a new student who would replace the friend she had with her before getting kicked out. The new student was wearing a fuschia sweater over the uniform, and the student had pink hair let down and reached her waist and blue eyes. The student noticed Miharu and they stared at each other for what seemed like a minute.
The student let out a hand and shook Miharu's hand.
"You must be my roommate! What's your name?" the student asked.
"I'm Fujisaki Miharu, and you?" the girl asked back.
"Oh, me? My name is...Kirino Ran!" she replied, giving Miharu a smile.
...Wait, who the heck is Kirino Ran?
