"What do you mean?" She ask

"I asked if you play soccer." He reply

"I play soccer, why you ask?" She said

"I see. It seems like you won't be the freeloader of the team." He said

"What do you mean Kuroiwa-san." Kuraiyama-san ask

"Who?" Luna wondered

"Oh right I almost forgot!" Kuraiyama-san said as she stood next to the mysterious man that was called Kuroiwa-san

"Hanatsuki-san. This is the new coach for the new Inazuma Japan that is going to be announced in three weeks, Kuroiwa Ryuusei." Kuraiyama-san introduced

"It's a pleasure to meet you Kuroiwa-san." Luna said a bit surprised 

Luna didn't expect to meet someone today especially a soccer coach. Luna is more known as a performer, and she has never participated in any match besides mini matches at her old school, and her neighborhood's mini events. Soccer is really popular here in Japan, so their community created a mini sports day. Soccer was the main event, but it was 6 vs 6 since they don't have much people in their community.

"So why am I here? Aren't you supposed to be looking for real soccer players?" She ask

"Good question. I'm indeed looking for a good player, and I just found one." He replied

"I see, who might that be?" Kuraiyama-san ask

"This young lady here." He said as he points to Luna

"Me? Why?" She wondered

"I would like to give you an offer." He said

"Okay?" Luna replied sounding a bit unsure on what's going on

"I want you to a part of the Inazuma Japan lineup. In return, I will give you an opportunity to be able to participate at the next survival show of performers on a country that you want." He said

"Wait... what? Participate in the Football Frontier International Vision 2 (FFIV2)? Me? There's no way!" She said thinking it's impossible for her

"And why is that?" He ask

"I mean... yeah I do play soccer. I know the basics and other things, but I've never thought about participating in a tournament before. I'm not even as good as those players who were at Holy Road." She explain

"I see that you're nervous, but this is a one time opportunity. All you need is to participate, and win the first match. Afterwards, you may do whatever you wish. I will also include the deal as long you fulfill the requirements I ask." He said

"No way... really?" She ask once more

"Yes, but first you need to join your school's soccer team." He said

"I... I'm not sure... why me?" She muttered as she looked down whilst doubting herself

"You are chosen because you have enough skills to become a part of the Inazuma Japan. Once you fulfill all requirements, that is enough to fulfill our deal." He said

"Will this guarantee my future?" She ask

"That is up to you." He reply

Luna thought about it. She has experience playing soccer, so doesn't need to learn the basics again. Not only that she actually has two hissastsu techniques, so she may be reliable at times when she's needed. She also remembered the soccer players she idolizes, and realizes that her dream may come true if she accepts the offer. She thought to never waste an opportunity.

"I'll do it." She said

"Good." He said as he gives her a piece of paper

"This is the contract. Read it carefully before signing it. Tomorrow you'll be joining your school's soccer club." He said while she's reading the contract

Signature

Not long after she signed it, and gave it back to him. She is excused to leave the room, and went to the cafeteria to see where is Natsu waiting for her. She noticed Natsu waving at her, and  she went to her table and sat across her.

"So... what happened? Why were you called?" She asked

"Well..." She trailed off

Luna wondered if it's a good thing to tell her about it. First of all, she was called to the principal's office with an unknown reason then, she met Kuroiwa Ryuusei. He is the coach of the new coach of Inazuma Japan who offered her to join the team with a contract.

She was curious on why coach Kuroiwa would ask her to join the team, but nobody would really really think of her soccer player, right? She never played soccer in a really public place. That thought made her confuse, so she decided to lie about, and probably tell her about it soon. 

"I was called for an offer to be in a dance crew." That was all Luna said

"Oh really? That's it?" She ask

"Yeah. I thought it was it was so mysterious that they have to secretly call me, but that it." Luna reply with a hint of her nervous tone

Luckily Natsu didn't catch the cue or else she'll force her to spit it out, and she doesn't want that to happen.

"Okay. I really thought it was something confidential that they only want to talk to you." Natsu said

"Yeah." She nervously replied

"By the way, I think I'm going to join a club tomorrow." Natsu said

"Really? I thought you hate clubs?" Luna ask

"Well I kinda still do, but my mom forced me to join one. So... we won't be walking home together for a long while." Natsu said

"I see... it's fine I know my way home." She said

_°~•~•~•~•~°_

The next day, Luna went to school a bit earlier than usual to have a conversation with the coach of the Tengawara soccer club. She looked around the clubroom to see a woman with brown hair and blue eyes. She wears a collared yellow shirt under a buttoned light blue vest. She also wears white skirt with two blue stripes: one being lighter, the other one being darker.  She immediately approached her.

"Ummm... excuse me. Are you the adviser of the soccer club?" Luna ask the lady

"Adviser? Oh I'm actually the coach of the soccer club." She said

"Really?" Luna said 

"Yes, also you must be the new member that Kuraiyama-san told me about, am I right?" She ask

"Yes. That is me." Luna replied with a nervous tone

"So have you played soccer before?" She ask

"Yes I have. I've been playing for years at my neighbourhood, and at my old school." Luna replied

"I see. Welcome to the club. The captain will give you your soccer uniform later on. I'm Mizuki Michiko by the way." She said as she ushered Luna to follow her to the clubroom

The two went to the clubroom. Luna could see the gazes of the members on her that made her seem uncomfortable around them. For someone who is uncomfortable at her surroundings, her face was literally blank. To others view, she was a very serious person with a stern attitude. On Luna's view, she is internally nervous on seeing the gazes on her.

"Kita!" Coach Mizuki called as a guy orange hair and green eyes. He wears a white headband.

(Insert a photo of Kita)

"What is it coach?" He asked

"I want you to get the uniform at our stash." She whispered to him

"Yes ma'am." He reply as he went to the storage room

"Alright guys let me introduce you guys to our newest member." Coach Mizuki said that caught the attention of the whole team.

"Newest member?" The others wondered

Luna faced everyone with a bright smile as she introduced herself.

"I'm Hanatsuki Luna, a first year. You guys can call me Hana or Luna, I don't mind. It's a pleasure to meet you all." Luna said as she end it a close-eyed smile 

"Cute." Others thought

"Great. We'll do more introductions later on, but now we'll start practice. Kita give her the uniform, and Hana-chan you can only watch practice today. Even so, I want you to try that uniform on, and come to field. You can change at the room." Coach Mizuki said

"Yes ma'am." Luna reply as she went out to go to the other room

"How was I supposed to wear this?" She muttered to herself

She thought that there's some standard way of wearing it then, she remembered how Kita wore his uniform. The collar was up just like Gouenji's when he was at Raimon. In the end, she just copied him. After changing, she went to the field. They were currently doing some stretches.

Everyone noticed her presence as she walk towards the benches, and sat next to coach Mizuki. She observed how their practice works. Luna is definitely impressed of what she is seeing right now. The team's dedication is intense, and they all wanted to be a part of the Inazuma Japan. Some are in dire need to catch up with the team, but they seemed motivated.She suddenly felt bad for them that she got into the team without doing anything besides making a deal with coach Kuroiwa.

_°~•~•~•~•~°_

The whistle blowed in middle of their practice, coach Mizuki call them out for a break. The members responded, and went to the benches where Luna is. Luna helped out in handing out their water bottles. Every bottle she handed to the members, she could hear them say 'thank you'. After handing out bottles, she went back to her seat. Kita saw her there, and decided to talk to her. She looked to see him right infront of her.

"Hey is it alright to call you Hana?" Kita ask

"Yup. I don't mind it makes my name shorter." Luna reply with a casual smile on her face

"I see. So why did you join the club in the middle of the school year?" He ask

"Oh I also wanna know why." Someone commented

Apparently most of them were actually listening to their conversation. A guy with orange hair, and green eyes suddenly join into our conversation.

"I'm Minaho Kazuto by the way." He said

(Insert a photo of Minaho)

"Oh nice to meet you." Luna said

"You too. Although I'm curious, why did you join the club?" He ask

"Well... I just really thought of joining the club. I have played soccer before." Luna said

"Oh yeah you did mention that earlier, but that wasn't the reason why I ask." Minaho said

"Really? So why then?" Kita ask

"I've heard about you before." A guy with purple hair and thin eyes

"Oh... I didn't expect that." Luna replied with a very slight nervousness on her tone.

"You're the famous dancer here in Inazuma, aren't you?" He asked

"That is me. How did you know about it?" Luna ask

"Apparently you are kinda around the news for some time, but it's kinda been months since that news was reported." Minaho said

"That's true. Also I'm Andou Tsuneyuki, a forward." He said

(Insert a photo of Andou)

"Another thing what position do you play?" Kita ask

"Ummm..... I'm not really sure." Luna shyly replied

"What do you mean?" Andou ask

"Well... I've been playing for a long time, but I've never been in a proper soccer team before." Luna explains

"Wait really? Then how did you play soccer?" Kita ask

"I started playing soccer since I was nine... I think. Then, I was playing in a PE class that made me enjoy playing it. I've never played on a real match, but have played on a one on one, and a six vs six match." Luna explains

"So you've never joined a soccer club before." Minaho ask

"More like any club actually." Luna said in a casual tone

"I see... So you know the basics, right?" Kita ask

"Yup. To be honest, I actually have a hissastu technique." Luna shyly said

"Really?" Kita and Minaho ask at the same time

"Yeah. I mastered it not too long ago. It was probably three months ago. I created a hissastu for shooting." Luna said

"I'm really curious on how you play. Can't wait to play with you tomorrow." Andou said

"Same here." Luna happily replied

"Break time is over!" Coach Mizuki called as they went to back to practice while Luna decided to refill all the water bottles

Despite being a performer herself, she can cope up with the training. She knew that she has to work hard for her position in the Inazuma Japan team, so she dedicated herself to increase her stats, and participate in practice matches.

Even she is a new member, coach Mizuki let her play for experience. She wasn't able to play in a proper match back then, but now she use these as an opportunity to learn more about soccer.

What she didn't know is that coach Mizuki was recording everything , and sending a report to coach Kuroiwa all this time since the day she joined the club.

_°~•~•~•~•~°_

"I can see that you have chosen the members, coach Kuroiwa." a mysterious person said

"Indeed. No one could replace them." Kuroiwa replied

"I see, you showed me one of the players game. I must say, that player's hissastu is really good." He said

"Not yet." Kuroiwa said

"What do you mean?" He ask

"She still has a lot to learn. I must say I didn't expect her to have a hissastu this early." Kuroiwa admitted

"She must a be so important to be in the team." He noted

"Indeed she is." Kuroiwa remarked with a wide grin on his face.
