Hikaru is startled by a knock on her door. The door opens and the person who came in made hikaru jump out of her bed, "what brings you over here seitei sama?" He smiles slyly at her "I heard you weren't selected for any team" hikaru lowers her gaze, "I'm sorry" she said with a sad tone "it's okay, I talked to Kibayama and your instructor, they said you need more training" she looked up to him her eyes widen at what she heard "I need more training? But I already trained so hard to get my keshin and I'm now able to control it too..." her eyes fills with tears. All those memories were striking her head again and again, when she realised that she's hugged by seitei "don't worry, you'll be able to master it. I believe in you"he patted her head gently she remembers

"seitei seemed interested in you" Shuu said while gulping his sandwich "w-what?" She was shocked

Akiyama came closer to her and whispers "seitei seems to be interested in you" it made her blush "w-what?"

On remembering this hikaru turns red as tomato. There is another knock on the door, he backed off a little to turn around. The door opens and a red haired woman appeared

Hikaru's POV

The door opened and revealed akiyama san. "Excuse my intrusion, seitei sama" he smirked at her "you may come" she comes to me but I looked away from her "I'll definitely make you stronger than the rest of them" she said still looking at me but I didn't moved my gaze "of course, that's the purpose you're assigned here anyway" I looked up at seitei who was smiling at me "remember this always hikaru, the more you love soccer the more stronger you'll be" he then turned around to leave but I stopped him "seitei sama, arigato for believing in me"I said that so fast that made him grin he waved his hand and leave the room. After he left, I noticed how tensed akiyama san was. It must be really hard for her not to achieve something that she was told to. There was a frown on her face, she was gritting and clenching her fists. I decided to remove this tension "um, akiyama san what I'm supposed to do now?" Her frown turned a little down and she smiled at me "right now, just rest" saying this she left the room

Normal POV

Hikaru entered the lunch room, when everyone noticedher presence they started discussing on her. Hikaru came to Shuu & some of his friends. Sitting there she noticed that some of them were also whispering to each other. Shuu broke the silence "seems like you've got some attention towards you" "why's that?"she asked with a confused look on her face. He smiled brightly at her "seitei sama came, everyone... infact only hakuryuu, thought that he has come to meet those who are selected" the expressions on her face had now changed when she realised what might have happened but she pretended that she didn't realise anything "then?" He chuckled on her act and continued "then what? He went to meet you first... He came to us later, said congratulations and just went away" she thought to herself 'that's what everyone be thinking that I'm a weakling and yet seitei sama visited me before them. Serve them right!' She was too busy thinking that how disappointed hakuryuu and others would be that she didn't notice she was laughing under her breathe, until "so, you're happy that seitei visited you first? I always knew seitei seemed interested in you" on hearing this she blushed so hard "n-no! It's n-not like this" shuu chuckled as he noticed how red she was being "is that it? Your face doesn't say the same" she noticed that she was blushing so she covered her face in embarrassment " no! It's not"

Akiyama's POV

Things were getting difficult for me, I thought she'd be able to release her keshin and it'll be all. But everything is getting more and more complicated. I threw away the pen I was holding till now. What I'm supposed to do? I thought to myself. Wait a minute! I get it, this will make it work out.

Hikaru's POV

"I was really disappointed but seitei words have encouraged me, he said he believes in me" I was telling the event that took place earlier. Although I didn't tell him the hugging part. "That's good for you" he said taking the last bite of his sandwich "yeah, too much good for you!" We looked up to see an annoyed hakuryuu. He continued "which you don't even deserve!" I smirked at him "jealous? " on this his expressions changes "jealous? Of whom?! I don't need to be jealous of anyone, I'm the strongest around here!" I took a sip of milk "that's the reason, you think you're the strongest so you should be deserved everything." I stood up from my place to meet at his eye level "Serve you right!" I said on his face and left the room.
