Seeing familiar faces in the Audition
The Seigaku regulars had entered the building already. All of them except for Tezuka were amazed on the place's appearance. It was really clean and many posters of Sidus SM Entertainment stars/singers were scattered all over the place.
Stars flashed on Momo and Eiji's eyes as they imagined themselves being part of Sidus SM Entertainment's stars. Their amusement rose when the famous boy band SAMUI arrived in the building. They will serve as the judges for the audition.
"Whoa! I like here!!!!" Eiji jumped delightfully.
Another pop group had entered the building and it was C.O.L.D., Eiji's favorite group. Eiji was going to meet his idols when Tezuka ordered him to stop. He repressed a sigh and just kept quiet.
An employee was assigning numbers to the boys who were going to audition. The employee approached the excited Seigaku regulars and gave them 9 cards representing the numbers. They decided to give the first card to Tezuka because he's the captain and the second to Oishi.
When Kawamura had received the card, he was kinda disappointed because he got the number 059.
"I guess there are many boys in this audition. We just have to wait for our numbers to be called." He said patiently.
"I guess you're right, Taka-san." Fuji patted his back. He attached his number card in front of his shirt and smiled, showing his cerulean blue eyes. "And don't be disappointed. We're lucky to achieve numbers lower than 100 while the others get 100 above or even 500 above."
Atobe was at the lobby, sitting on the comfortable sofa together with Kabaji and his teammates.
"Ore-sama, you're so lucky. You got 001." Ohtori remarked.
"Well, just because my family is one of the biggest stockholders in this company so they gave me the first number." Atobe smirked and crossed his arms. "Right, Kabaji?"
"Yes." Kabaji replied to his master and he was standing behind Atobe.
Atobe found familiar faces to him. They were the Seigaku regulars.
"Well, look who's here." He stood from his seat and approached the wandering Seigaku regulars. "How are you?"
"Atobe." Tezuka's gave him a serious look.
"So you're going to audition too?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"Maybe."
The other regulars behind Tezuka's back stared on Atobe's card number. They were envious of Atobe, being the first to go to the audition room.
"Why do you think he got the first number?" Oishi whispered to his teammates.
"It's because he's one of the biggest stockholders of this company." Fuji muttered, replying to Oishi's question.
"He said that while he was interviewed by the reporter." Kawamura said in a soft voice.
"Nya he's so lucky." Eiji frowned upon hearing that but he will do his best to pass the audition.
After Tezuka and Atobe had their conversation, the boys who were going to audition were called by the voice over the speaker. He asked them to fall in line and the first one to audition will going to enter the room.
"I guess its time for me to go now. See you." Atobe waved his hand and called Kabaji and his teammates.
"Let's go." Tezuka ordered his teammates and they walked off to the line. They fell in the long queue to wait for their numbers to be called.
They all together sat at the waiting bench and tried to entertain themselves while waiting.
Fuji stood from waiting and decided to take a stroll around the building but his he changed his decision because a familiar guy approached his back and tapped his shoulder.
"Syusuke-chan."
Fuji whirled around to know who is it. He smiled upon seeing that friend.
"Kojirou, you're here?" He was glad to see Saeki but he wondered why'd he reached Tokyo from Chiba and landed at the very building of Sidus SM Entertainment Co., Ltd.
"Yes, all the way from Chiba, just to try this awesome audition." Saeki explained and like Fuji, he was happy to meet his old friend. "I've even brought some teammates with me. They will also try at the audition."
Saeki pointed those guys behind him. They were all from Rokkaku Chuu. They were Rokkaku's buchou, Aoi, Amane, Kurobane, Itsuki and Kisarazu Ryou.
"Hey! You're from Seigaku right?!" The ever lively Aoi greeted Fuji happily. "I'm also joining the auditions! Wow! This is a great building!"
Saeki and Fuji watched the talkative Aoi as he was babbling about the building's structure.
Aoi found the other Seigaku regulars at Fuji's back and waved his energetic hand at them.
"What's your number?" Fuji asked Saeki.
"Its 117." Saeki found Fuji's number and began to frown. "How lucky, you got 053."
"Thanks."
"By the way, we have to go. We have to line to the number before Aoi's number."
"Okay. Good luck to your audition."
"You too." Saeki waved his hand at his friend. He hauled the talkative Aoi's arm to stop him from talking with other boys who will also try the audition. He and his teammates went off to fall on their line.
Fuji repressed a sigh and returned to his seat to join the regulars. Ryoma stood from his seat and started walking away.
"Hey Ryoma!" Momo called him before he went off. Ryoma paused walking and listened to whatever Momo will say. "You brat, where are you going?"
"I'm going to buy a drink." Ryoma continued walking. He was searching for a vending machine to buy Ponta. He finally found one and approached it. He picked a coin from his pocket and he was about to drop it in the coin slot but another hand interrupted him. Ryoma glared at that person at the same time he was shocked to see Shinji Ibu also buying a drink in the vending machine where he was and in the audition where he was going to try his luck.
"Ibu."
"Echizen."
They stared at each other. There was something going to happen if it continues so Kamio piped up between them.
"Shinji! Let's go!"
"You're going to audition too?" Shinji asked Ryoma.
"Isn't it obvious?" Ryoma replied curtly.
"Echizen, did you come here alone?"
"I'm with my senpais."
Kamio was making himself heard but in vain. Ryoma and Ibu were still having a serious talk.
"Where's Tachibana?" Ryoma changed the topic.
"He was just wandering around this place."
"And where's Ann?" Ryoma shifted his look to Kamio.
"She's with her bro." Kamio replied and looked at Ibu. "Let's go."
"Okay. See you Echizen." Ibu reminded Echizen and walked off with Kamio.
"Mada mada dane." Ryoma dropped his coin at the vending machine's coin slot. His precious Ponta popped out and he grabbed it for a drink. He returned to the place where his senpais were waiting.
Sengoku together with his kouhai, Touji Muromachi was walking around the building to wait for his number to be called. Their numbers were quite near from Seigaku regulars' numbers .They will both perform a dance number together for their audition.
"Senpai, do you think I'm going to fail in this audition?" Touji asked worriedly and he was nervous about his upcoming performance in front of the judges.
"Don't worry. I'm Lucky! I mean we are lucky!" Sengoku said to his kouhai to erase his nervousness.
While walking around, Sengoku found the Seigaku regulars sitting in a bench. He and Touji approached them.
"So, you're also here to join the audition?" He folded his arms and looked at every regular sitting on the bench.
"Sengoku?" Momo quickly stood from his seat, shocked as he saw the player he defeated before.
"By the way, they're many girls here. I really like here."
"Do your other teammates join the audition too?" Oishi asked him.
"Nope." Sengoku shook his head and pointed Touji who was behind him. "Me and my kouhai only. I convinced the others but they're not interested."
"Good luck to you."
"Don't say that. I'm already lucky. It should be Good luck to you."
"Okay. See you."
"Bye." Sengoku and Touji walked off.
Momo slowly returned to his seat and sighed.
"They're too many familiar faces here especially those from our rival schools." He muttered and gave out a sigh.
"Fsshhh…" Kaidoh heard it furtively.
Another familiar faces began approaching the waiting Seigaku regulars. They're the guys from St. Rudolph Gakuen.
"Fuji Syusuke, its so nice to see you here." Mizuki twisted his bangs that cover his forehead. "Also the Seigaku regulars, trying out in this audition."
"Ah," Fuji recognized him but didn't remember his name. "Nice to see you too, ah… what's your name again?"
Mizuki trembled irritatedly because his rival didn't even remember his name. He was losing his patience.
"I think you are Miki. No! I think its Miyuki no its not…"
"Its Mizuki! Hajime Mizuki, you idiot!" Mizuki shouted at the calm Fuji.
"I'm sorry." Fuji apologized at the player he crushed before. He looked behind Mizuki and he was glad to found his younger brother, Yuuta. "How are you Yuuta? Mom misses you a lot."
"Aniki, you're also here!" Yuuta was not happy seeing his onii-chan also trying out in the audition.
"Yuuta-kun, he's your brother, dane?" Yanagisawa entered the conversation. "He's going to audition too, dane?"
"Shut up!" Yuuta shouted at him to shut his mouth.
"So, you're going to audition too." Fuji said to his brother.
"Yes." Yuuta blushed heavily. "And you, you want me to become your rival again so you join here?"
"No. I didn't expect that you'll be going here. One-san was the one who convinced me."
"Ah…"
"Hoi, Mizuki! Where's Akazawa, Kaneda and Nomura?!" Eiji asked Mizuki.
"They were here but they disappeared. Don't know where they are." Mizuki replied.
"Hey, Asutshi Kisarazu." Momo caught Kisarazu's attention. "I saw your twin brother here."
"He said that to me that he will also join this audition." Kisarazu replied.
"Better get going." Mizuki bade goodbye to the Seigaku regulars and his teammates followed him.
After St. Rudolph player had gone, another familiar faces showed up. They passed the Sigaku regulars but Kaidoh noticed Wakato.
"Its Wakato from Jyousei Shounan." He informed the other regulars. "Fshhh…"
"Oh, the guys from Jyousei shounan! I'm wondering why Hanamura-sensei was not with them." Oishi looked at the passing Jyousei Shounan regulars. He saw Kajimoto who was leading his teammates. Trailing Kajimoto were the Tanaka twins, Wakato and Shinjou. "Hey, guys from Jyousei Shounan!"
Kajimoto heard Oishi's call and stopped walking causing his teammates to bump into his back.
"Ouch!" The Tanaka twins complained of pain after bumping into Kajimoto's back.
"Buchou, why did you stop and cause all this pains to your teammates?" Wakato whined as he was patting his head.
Kajimoto whirled around to see if his teammates were okay and some of the Seigaku regulars snickered at the Jyousei Shounan regulars.
"I stopped because someone called the name of our school." Kajimoto explained to his teammates.
Shinjou looked around to see the one who called their school's name, caused Kajimoto to stop from walking that made them bump him. He was satisfied to see a waving Oishi at them.
"He's the one who called us." Shinjou pointed the waving Oishi.
"Ah, Oishi from Seigaku." Kajimoto said. "Hello."
"You're going to audition too?" Oishi asked and he was still on his seat.
"Yes." Kajimoto nodded. "Nice to see you here. We have to go."
"Okay, Good luck."
"You too."
The guys from Jyousei Shounan walked off.
"Another rival school. I bet Rikkai dai is the next school we're going to see here." Oishi repressed a sigh after saying his doubt.
"Maybe." Tezuka listened to him and his face was still expressionless.
Oishi's doubt came true; the Rikkai Dai regulars were passing by. Yukimura was in a wheelchair being pulled by Sanada. The other boy were shocked a boy in a wheelchair who was going to audition. They were gossips but Yukimura didn't mind them His plan was to audition without his wheelchair because the judges might disqualify him. Yukimura noticed the Seigaku regulars.
"Sanada, stop pushing the wheelchair, let's greet the Seigaku regulars." Yukimura ordered Sanada and Rikkai Dai's fuku-buchou followed him. Sanada pushed Yukimura approaching the Seigaku regulars.
"How are you, Tezuka and your teammates?" Yukimura asked Tezuka.
"We're fine, how about you?"
"My body's okay now so I joined this audition."
Sanada glared at Tezuka who was having a conversation with Yukimura. He thinks of Tezuka as his rival in Tennis also in this audition. He frowned and just listened at Yukimura's conversation with Tezuka.
"Renji." Inui was glad to see his best friend.
"Sadaharu, you are also here." Renji tapped his friend's shoulder.
"Probability of us going to be accepted in this audition: 89" Inui and Renji predicted. After saying their probability simultaneously, they laughed together.
Eiji, Ryoma, Momo, Oishi, Fuji and Kawamura were surprised to see Inui laughing with his friend.
Marui was eating his strawberry cake and Jackal was shaving his head. Those were their routine before playing tennis and they applied it in the auditions.
"I'm already full." Marui said after gobbling his last piece of cake.
"Do you think there's no hair remaining in my head?" Jackal asked after shaving his head.
"Yes, no hair remained." Marui replied as he examined Jackal's bald head.
"They're really weird." Momo whispered to Ryoma.
"Kirihara, are you going to be rough and violent in this audition?" Fuji asked a silly question.
"No." Kirihara rubbed his head and smiled. "That's not going to happen, or else they'll drive me out."
"That's nice."
"Maybe The Three Demons will emerge in this audition. I'm a bit nervous."
"Three Demons?"
"Yes, Yukimura, Yanagi and Sanada." Kirihara laughed.
"Don't think that it will happen. Do your best and you will emerge in this audition."
"You're right. I should think positively. Good luck to you and me."
"Thanks."
Niou and Yagyuu were just listening to their teammates' conversation with rival school, Seigaku.
'I guess we have to go." Yukimura bade goodbye to Tezuka. "See you soon."
"See you. Good luck."
"Good luck to you and your teammates." Sanada reminded Tezuka and pushed Yukimura's wheelchair.
The Rikkai dai regulars walked off. Oishi repressed a sigh after having a good conversation with another rival school.
"My doubt was correct. Rikkai Dai is here. They traveled all the way from Kanagawa just to join this audition."
"Another familiar faces." Momo uttered.
"You're right Momo-kun. They're so many hopefuls here and some of them are familiar faces especially those guys from rival schools."
"They really tried their luck here." Tezuka said.
'Well, good luck to them and also to us." Fuji remarked showing his cerulean blue eyes.
The auditions were about to start and the first guy to audition was Atobe. He was confident about this audition and entered the audition room confidently leaving Kabaji outside the room. Atobe was starting his audition.
