"We're finally at the Football Frontier International's World Tournament. I think you all know already, but I'll explain the tournament rules again. Ten teams that passed the prelims from each area around the world will compete. The teams are separated into two groups with five teams each: Group A and Group B. First, each team within a group will play against each other in a round-robin. Each match win delivers three points. Each tie delivers one point. Losses result in no points. The two teams from each group with the most points at the end will proceed to the finals. A total of four teams will compete in the finals tournament."

Aki had explained the rubrics of the tournament rules. And lucky for me I didn't know a single thing. Thank you for explaining, Aki.

"Inazuma Japan is in Group A, along with Orpheus from Italy, The Empire from Argentina, Knights of Queen from England, and Unicorn from America." Haruna said.

"Our first match is in two days," Aki said. "And our opponent will be England's national team."

"I did my research." Rosa said. "Apparently their pretty good went it comes to both defense and offense, and that they're captain is Edgar Valtinas has a really strong shoot called, 'Excalibur'." So another sword shoot... another one to copy right off the bat.

"Rena, have any counters?" Megane... Kakeru asked.

"If it's another sword shoot then something stronger than God Hand, Fist of Justice, and Majin the Hand." I said. 

"You haven't even seen it yet you already made your deduction." Akio said.

I rolled my eyes. "No wonder Nica didn't want to talk to you." I said, earning a "Tch" from him.

Soon, all of us were practicing out on the field. I was already getting the hang of this international field. Endou had caught most of my fast shoots and one hissatsu. (Mirror Shot). After a few hours of training, Aki called us over.

"Friendly Exchange Party?"

"We have an invitation from Knights of Queen." Aki said while showing a white envelope that had the national team's logo. "They'd like to get to know us before the match so they asked us to come formally dressed to London Palace at six o' clock today."

"Formally dressed?" Jousuke asked.

"They mean to wear black suits with neckties like this." Tachimukai said while showing the imitation of a necktie. Apparently, Jousuke had the wrong idea and said, "They want us to wear that?!"

"It's natural coming from them." I muttered. "The British are known for their attitude of being a gentlemen since the country is still in royal blood."

"How do you know that?" Someoka asked.

"I read a lot, even when I was playing soccer." I replied.

"You're going." Jirou demanded.

"OK." I said.

"Not in what we wear, Rena."

I had a tiny irk on my head. "I rather go back home."

"What's wrong with you? Scared of dresses or something?" Kogure snickered. The irk on my head grew larger. 

"I'm telling mom." Jirou smirked.

"I hate you." I muttered.

"Love you too sis."

**********************************************************

I was lying down on my bed.

After training, Rosa had instructed us for a 30 minute rest and to get ready for the event. I had a dress, but I never really wear it. I'm a girl, but I hate dresses. I wouldn't mind the skirts as long as they weren't too short, but never a dress. I still remember the first time I wore a dress, and that

"Rena-chan! We're almost done!"

"I'm almost finished dressing up!" I said to Aki. I stood up and got the dress out of the closet. I sighed. "Why, why did it have to be England? I like the country, but sometimes I hate the formal wear..." 

I just went with it and wore my shorts and undershirt before putting on the dress. I looked at myself in the mirror. "Urgh... I hate wearing this..." I sighed and fixed my hair, placing the clip on. 

I opened the door and looked around the hallway; Phew. No one was there and no one will comment about the dress. "Thank God..." I muttered before putting on my shoes and went outside.

"Hey guys I'm all----..."

My face was already in a light pink tinge. Curse you Haruna! Why didn't you say anything about the guys already downstairs?!

"Haruna, why didn't you tell me the guys were already downstairs?" I muttered through gritted teeth.

"Whoops." Haruna chuckled sheepishly and scratched her head. She was wearing a pink dress with light pink high socks and black doll shoes.

"Rena-chan! You look cute!" Rosa exclaimed. She was wearing a light green dress with matching heels. Green all over...

I saw that Kidou, Shuuya, Akio, Shirou, and Tachimukai were staring at me. 

"Please, don't stare at me like's it's the first time you've seen me." I said.

"S-Sorry." Kidou regained his composure, and so did the rest because I saw Jirou had a light purple aura surrounding himself.

"You look better than I thought you would, Sakuma." Jousuke said.

Another irk appeared on my head. "'Better than you thought'?" I asked.

"Your mouth is out of control." Megane said, sighing.

"Where's Endou and Aki?" I asked.

"Aki went to fetch Endou..." Rosa said. "I guess we should----"

"Arigatou, kimi ga itte kurete
Hontou, yokatta yo
Don'na, toki datte itsumo
Waratte irareru----"

"Best Friend by Nishino Kana?" Rosa asked as I answered my phone. 

"Rena? Is this you?"

I froze. I took a silent breath and did my best Jirou voice. "She's busy at the moment, Koujirou."

"Ah... well uh, I could've sworn I dialed her number... We had an argument the other day and... tell her I'm sorry for what I said..."

"I'll deliver the message. But what happened?"

"I gotta go... I'll just tell you next time... bye... Tell her, and don't kill me for this, that I loved her from the moment I met her... bye..."

He hanged up. "WHAT THE HECK?! HOW?!" Someoka, Megane, Jousuke, Hijikata, and Kabeyama asked at the same time while the others were shocked. "We're twins, guys." I said in my normal voice.

"Yeah, it's obvious." Jirou said, imitating my voice. Ugh, that's how I sound like? 

"Stop copying me." I said in his voice.

"OK that's just scary on so many levels..." Hiroto said, backing away.

"I loved her from the moment I met her..."

Koujirou's words echoed in my head.... he was sorry, and... 

"Nope, nope, nope let's go." I muttered, already walking out the door.

********************************************************

Shinobu: Not enjoying the party?

Me: I'm enjoying, I'm just not really comfortable with the dress

Shinobu: The short ones? Or the regular ones?

Me: Both. Gotta go, Shinobu. Some guy is looking at me.

Shinobu: Smell ya later.

Closing the app, I hid my phone and sighed to myself. Well, no guy was looking at me, but I was looking at them. They really did threw a large party. I got to know Gareth Barett and Nick Woodgate. Apparently nice people. I was right about the British; They are gentlemen.

"So what are you doing alone? Shouldn't you be with your parents?" Barett asked me.

"Oh uh, I'm with the Inazuma Japan team. I was chosen as the female representative." I said.

"The team must be really lucky to have a girl on their side. How'd you get chosen?" Nick asked. OK, so not only are they gentlemen but they can be a bit of a curious flirt. I'm just saying...

"Err, soccer match." I answered. 

"You should met Edgar." Barett said. 

"Uh, wasn't he with us?" Nick asked.

"He's talking to one of the Inazuma Japan managers." Barett said in an unamused tone while pointing to wherever Edgar was. Fuyuka, who was wearing a white dress identical to my style, was talking with a blue haired teen, and I'm guessing that must be Edgar.

"Speaking of which, we should go back already." Nick said. "It was wonderful meeting you, Rina."

"Rina?" I raised an eyebrow. "Err, I don't mean to correct you, but it's pronounced, 'Rena'."

"Sorry about him, he can't speak fluent Japanese." Barett said in a little angry tone while grabbing Nick by the ear. "It was great meeting you, Rena."

"Don't mention it. It was nice meeting you too." I said as Barett was dragging him, earning some, "Oi you didn't have to tell her that!", and, "OW! Let go of my ear!".

"Sorry we're late!"

My direction turned to the right, and I saw Endou, who had Aki on his back. I lightly whistled. Lucky Aki. 

"Rena-chan, you were lucky that you got a chance with Ardena-san now you're really lucky that members from this team approached you!" Rosa exclaimed.

"Rosa, please. I approached them. The silence went to me." I said.

"Come on!"

"Oi! Rosa!"

Too late, she had already dragged me to where Endou, Aki, Fuyuka, and Edgar was. I know it was a friendly exchange party but Rosa didn't have to drag me. I was wearing heels... the one inch ones anyway.

"Let me introduce you. This is the captain of Knights of Queen and their forward, Edgar Valtinas-san." Fuyuka introduced.

"I'm Rosalie Ross, Inazuma Japan's assistant trainer. Just call me Rosa." Rosa introduced. I rolled my eyes. Oh brother...

"We're sorry for being late." Aki apologized while bowing.

"This is Inazuma Japan's captain, Endou Mamoru-kun." Fuyuka gestured to Endou. 

"Endou Mamoru. My position is a goalkeeper. Nice to meet you." Endou said while putting his hand out. I saw that his hands were kinda dirty. Edgar gave a smile before saying, "For the time being, it'd be best to have a change of clothing."

He snapped his fingers and a butler already appeared behind Endou and Aki. The butler (Who Edgar calls, Sebastian), had led Endou and Aki to a building, which I guess is their team's stay.

"And this is Inazuma Japan's first female representative."

My thoughts were snapped when Fuyuka gestured me to Edgar. I cleared my throat before putting my hand out. "I'm Sakuma Rena. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure's all mine, Rena." Edgar shook my hand and I almost gave Rosa a kick when I saw her smirk.

"First female representative? This kind of thing reminds me of Team Kiseki." Edgar suddenly said.

"Team Kiseki?" Fuyuka looked at him.

"I don't know much, but their captain, Asuto Nozomi, had led them to the final match before she and her team disappeared." Edgar sighed.

My mom? So my mom was a soccer player? How come dad didn't tell me about this? Wait, no, how come mom didn't say anything?

"Etto, Rosa, Fuyuka, Edgar, excuse me but I have to make a call." I said before walking away from them. I didn't make a call but I did go out of the party. I was confused. 

"Mom? Did you play soccer like dad did?"

"Honey, I never played soccer in my entire teenage life."

When I asked her, she said she never played soccer in her entire life... why would she lie about this? Was that a trick for me to stop playing soccer? My thoughts were snapped again when my phone vibrated; A text from Nami. I shrugged and opened it.

To: Sakuma Rena
From: Tsunami Nami

Hey, Rena, tell Jousuke I said good luck. Oh, I had a talk with your dad... he said something about Team Kiseki... just telling the news. 

We're two events happening at once?

********************************************************

When I came back, everyone else was at the soccer field. I just hid myself in the bushes. I saw that Edgar and Endou were in their own soccer uniforms. I took my phone out and decided to record it... for, personal purposes...

"Then, here it comes."

"Bring it on!"

Edgar kicked the ball up in the air and jumped. He did a somersault in the air. He was then surrounded by some ancient runes and his left foot had a somewhat sword identical to Exca---

"Excalibur!"

The ball was now surrounded with blue light and it was heading straight to Endou. Whoa. It was a sword shoot all right, but not the sword shoot I was expecting!

"Hammer of Wrath!"

Endou smashed the ball into the ground but he was blown away instantly. I stopped my video. Dang, Edgar's a good striker...

****************************************************

"Excalibur!"

Every time I did the shoot, it was fading. It was early in the morning, probably six in the morning, and I was already sweating. This has never happened before. I can easily copy techniques...

"Argh! Again! Excalibur!"

I tried again, but it faded again. I gritted my teeth. "Ahh! I usually succeed in this!"

"Hey, Sakuma."

From the tree, I saw a familiar figure... A blue haired figure...

"Allen?!"

Allen just gave a mischievous smirk at me. "Looks like you made it into the big league, eh?" He asked. His bad boy attitude was on... and I don't like it.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. 

He went near me and placed an arm behind me. "I can't route for my former teammate~?" OK, this was wrong. This was really wrong. 

"Allen, get off." I demanded.

Allen chuckled before placing his fingers on my chin. "You're cute when you get mad... but even cute people get bad luck, Rena."

"Allen, get off!" I pushed him off.

He chuckled again. "Aha, you're tough now, but you'll break down eventually, Copy Cat. Just like your mom."

Allen turned around and walked away, leaving me confused. 

Did this have to involve with Team Kiseki?

Or did this have to involve my mother?
