"So, who's this person you want me to meet?"

"Have a little patience, they'll be here shortly."

"Really, who would I ever have to wait this long for. . . !"

A chuckle slipped past Bernard's lips as he propped his elbow on his desk, resting his cheek on the back of his hand. His impatient little brother wouldn't stop whining even though he'd only shown up fifteen minutes ago. The lavish office would easily make Froy looked like a spoiled brat for lounging around in so casually.

Of course, nothing less for the head of the Orion Foundation; Bernard Girikanan.

Before Froy could spout something else, a soft knock was heard at the wide doors.

"Come in." Bernard quickly called out from the other side of the room.

Hesitantly, the door was barely pushed open. Froy's bright blue eyes stared in anticipation, his mouth parting slowly.

You stepped into the room as quietly as you could, and shut the door behind yourself before deeply bowing. This may be Russia, but you couldn't bring yourself to let go of your Japanese customs.

At this point, Froy was completely lost. He was waiting here for a girl? Was his brother setting him up on a blind date or something-? Well. . . Not that Froy would mind.

"This is [Y/n] [L/n], our vice president." With a small breath, Bernard placed his hands on his desk and stood up. The white haired male stalked over to yourself and gestured to you with a hand.

"[Y/n], this is Froy. The captain of Perfect Spark, the team you'll be affiliated with."

"Whoa, whoa, what!?" Froy suddenly burst out, jumping up from his seat. "Vice President!? You're really putting that kind of pressure on someone that's literally my age? What's the reason behind this!"

"Please understand!" You turned towards the male yourself, and this immediately shut him up. Froy merely blinked his eyes, waiting for you to continue. "I was the one who wanted this." Your voice trailed off, of course you wouldn't look the part for such a demanding role.

"Well. . . I guess it can't be that bad." Froy let out an obvious sigh, rubbing at the back of his neck. "Sorry if I seemed rude, it's nice to meet you." With a simper, he reached his hand out to you. "Ah, you're Japanese so that would make you. . . [Y/n]-chan!" Lifting a finger, he perked up.

"U-uhm. . . That's kind of right." You laughed nervously, but shook his hand nonetheless.

The Orion Foundation that was slowly rising in power, had the potential to grant miracles. Everyone on board was to have the same common goal, of wanting to help children in poverty with soccer. To want an avid soccer player that belonged to the winning team of the Japanese Frontier - was only natural. Seeing as your talents were more than exceptional, Bernard presented an offer to you.

You felt bad to leave your country and your team without really saying a word. You felt bad you wouldn't be able to join them any time soon.

After meeting little Yuuichi, your heard had always been heavy for him. Orion had the power to help him, Orion had the power to get him back on his feet, playing soccer again. . . Orion had the power to help so many children and their families that are suffering.

Orion could slowly lower the percentage of children from households in poverty, and give them bright futures.

But little did you know, it could also bring corruption all across the world. It's effect was just as powerful as it's opposite could be.

You refused to let this chance slip away. If there was anything at all that you could do, even if you were only able to help Yuuichi - then that would be fine.

Hopefully all of your friends would forgive you, when seeing you on the opposing team.
