The next day, all of the students at Soul high school were talking about the basketball team's first win in over 4 years. "It's about time we started winning," said Zasalamel. "Here's hoping we can again," said Li Long. "We get to finally relax for 2 days, but it was worth it," said Kilik. As the players headed off to their classes, they were greeted with pats on the back and applaud for their efforts. Five minutes later, Principal Olcadan was on the P.A. system calling for the team "Will all the players for the basketball team, please come to the principal's office, that is all" he said. Without any hesitation, the players left from their classes to see what the principal wanted to see them about. "If it's about last night's game, then I'm fine with that," said Rock. "Let's hope that we're not in any serious trouble," said Yunsung. "You always say that," said Hwang. The players finally reached the principal's office and waiting inside was not only the principal but, coach Edgemaster. "Hello, boys" Olcadan said. "It has come to my attention that your coach wants to do something rather different with how the way this team presents itself" Olcadan added. "Don't get me wrong, but I think I see that there's room for improvement with this team and the first win was only the beginning". Edgemaster said. "I want all of you to follow me". Edgemaster added. Soon enough, the players followed Edgemaster to the outside where they saw a school bus waiting for them. "Alright, we get to go home early" asked Yunsung "Keep dreaming" said Edgemaster. The team got on the bus and soon enough headed into town. "Everyone's gonna think we're off from school early" said Kilik. "Where are we going" asked Mitsurugi. "You'll see" said Edgemaster. 20 minutes later, the bus had stopped at a men's apparel store. "Why have we stopped here" asked Yunsung as he scratched his head in confusion. "You'll soon find out" said Edgemaster with a half-smirk. The players entered the apparel store and wasn't long for them figure out what they were here for. "These must be the players that will get fitted for our new line of casual wear" said one of the employees. "That's right" said Edgemaster. "Casual wear" all the players said except for Raphael "I have no problem wearing anything formal" said Raphael. All the players looked back at him and gave him an ugly look. "I think by wearing something more casual and upscale, this would make us more professional looking" said Edgemaster. All the players got measured and tried on a few things. "Check me out" said Yunsung. Yunsung had on a long, white jacket with the matching pants, black casual shoes, and an orange shirt. "Nice but, if nothing's like what I got on" said Kilik. Kilik had on a maroon suit with a red tie and handkerchief. Maxi had the something similar to Yunsung's but his shirt was blue. Mitsurugi had on a red with black pin-stripe suit, Hwang had on a teal dress shirt and maroon pants, Zasalamel and Rock had on matching white suits, Zasalamel only had on gold dress shoes and Rock had on brown dress shoes. Li Long wore a green dress shirt with a matching tie and gray slacks. Siegfried had on gray jacket with matching pants and white dress shirt. "All of you look nice in your casual wear" said Edgemaster. "Before every game, that is what you'll be wearing" Edgemaster added. "Everything was already paid for fellas by your principal" said one of the employees. As they headed back on the bus, the players were already feeling fine about themselves. "Wait 'til the girls see us" said Yunsung. The players came back around lunchtime and when they entered the cafeteria, the students and faculty were in awe. "Check them out" said Setsuka as she had her eyes on Maxi. The team sat in their usual spot and paid as the students and faculty looked on but then away, when the players looked in their direction. "Clothes make the team" said Kilik.
