Tenma's POV

As much as I wanted to practice for the semi finals, it was postponed to the next week. Why? Because of the exams. Surprisingly all four of the schools that went to the semi finals are having exams at the same time. During exams days, clubs are closed temporarily do everyone can focus on the exams. Which is what the second years did in the soccer club since the whole second team is second years. The thirds years were taking extra classes after school with their classmates. And us first years?

"Welcome to my house." Haru spread her arms showing her house.

We came over to Haru's house to study for the exams but we did not expect this at all. She lived in a penthouse on the top floor. And the rooms were spacious, filled with expensive furniture and decorations I could not explain.

"Make yourselves comfortable. I have arranged a table in the living room and Kyle will prepare some drinks and snacks." She motioned towards Kyle, a brown haired male a few inches taller than her dressed a butler outfit. He seemed old enough to be in high school. Sharp, cold eyes in brown color. He stares at us like, we are a group of pests. He walked over to the kitchen to make the drinks.

"What kind of fruits do you all like? It's best to have a nutritious drink instead of something like chocolate or coffee." She explained.

We all said a fruit we all liked and Kyle noted down on a small notepad before he made the drinks. Then the door bell rang with some guests here. Haru went to check it out and gasped and grinned. She opened the door to reveal a group. She invited them inside and introduced all of them.

"These are my friends from my cram school. Since the crams school we go to had closed down I invited them to study with us. And don't worry they all are first years as well. Introduce yourselves guys." She introduced them.

"Hi, I'm Shiori Yuuki. I'm from Raimon. Class 1-3." She had short brown hair in low pigtails and maroon round eyes with peach skin.

"I'm Amemiya Taiyou, from Outei Tsukinomiya." He had bright orange ruffled hair and dull blue eyes with a pale skin.

"Manabe Junichiro, Eito Gakuen." He has light lavender hair that falls some on the side with bangs in the middle which cross over each other. He also wears glasses which still show his taupe-coloured eyes.

"Minaho Kazuto, Tengawara" He has orange hair with bans and the side of his hair point upward. He has green eyes.

"Morimura Konoha, from Tonegawa Tousen." She has dark green hair shaped into two big buns. She is short and has a small body. The color of her eyes are black. She also has rosy cheeks and a small nose of the same color.

We also introduced our selves to them as well. Me, Tsurugi, Shuu, Hakuryuu, Aoi, Shinsuke, Kariya and Kageyama were there.

We all took a seat as Haru passed everyone a paper for the subject we would be taking. Although we all were getting together to study we were not studying the same subject. Us Raimon had English first but the others from different school had another subject.

Kyle gave each of us drinks to keep us from getting thirsty and for snacks he served us all types of nuts. There was peanuts, cashews, pistachio and almonds.

We came here at 14:00 and it was already 18:00hrs. We had been studying with a fifteen minutes break after every 45 minutes. We had spent 3 hours studying and took an hour of break. Haru told everyone that it was time to go and some of us groaned in relief.

"Finally, freedom." Kariya said as he stretched his arms over his head.

"Don't forget, we will be doing this for the whole week." Haru stated.

"Yes Ma'am."

I looked across to recognize Amemiya he was the guy from that day at the hospital. He was yelling at Nosaka-san about himself getting dismissed because of his leg injury. 

"Hey, Amemiya?" I called out to him. He looked at me and smiled. "Yeah"

"Are you in the soccer club?" i asked him and his expression turned into suprise.

"Um yeah, How did you know?" He asked tilting his head slightly.

"Well it was around a few weeks ago, I went to the hospital to check on my cousin, when I saw you arguing with Nosaka-san." I explained to him.

"Oh, i didnt think any one would catch that conversation." He looked down in a frown.

"He dismissed you from the team right? So will you be playing in the semi finals?" I asked him.

"Well, I was originally going to fight in the finals but since the exam week came I will be able to play in the semi finals." He explained as he looked at him again.

"Looks like we will be play against you in the semi finals."

"Oh right, you guys are Raimon's first years. Good luck cause you are going to need it. We are pretty strong."

"I could say the same to you."

"Ohh..."

"You two!" Kyle came behind me all of a sudden. "Please leave, the young lady's parents will be returning home soon."

"Of course" we said and packed out bags. All of us exited as we said good bye to Haru. As we went down stairs someone called Morimura, Minaho and Manabe. It was a guy quite tall and has a muscular body. He has a bandana tied around his head and light brown hair which falls downwards. He was waving towards us and had a surprised expression and was pointing towards us. There was like 4 more people beside him. Minaho and Manabe looked at each other before looking over to us. Suddenly both of them panicked and ran over to him with Morimura follow slowly after them. They covered the guys mouth and walked away saying good bye.

'Were they all friends?'  My thoughts wondered.

"That was Kusaka" Shiori said.

"You know them?" Aoi asked her.

"Yeah, Kusaka, Ibuki, Nozaki, Tetsukado and Matatagi. They all are always hanging with each other at the arcade. Once in a while, Haru also hangouts with them. But every time I tried to join they said, 'No, you do not meet the requirements'. It was so weird like they are like some sort of cult or something." 

"Well anyways I got to go bye." Kariya said as he left. We all took different paths as we left. When I ended up at home I opened my phone to find I had been invited to a study group by Haru. It was everyone there today. We all thanked Haru and she texted that we could all join her house for the whole week to study. Well this was going to be one interesting week.

Date: 22nd June, Monday

"I'm bored..." Kariya stated as he laid his head on the table. "Hey! Stop slacking off and focus." Haru said as she hit his head with a rolled paper. "Oh come on please let us rest."

"You have exactly 5 minutes till your break. Suck it up!" Kyle said as he looked at his wrist then at Kariya. Kariya made groaning noises as he frowned.

I looked away and sighed. Now my energy was draining with his voice. "Just send him home, Lady Haru." Kyle said to Haru.

"I'm also feeling bored." Haru said looking out the window.

"HEY! IF YOU GET BORED HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO PASS!" Hakuryuu screamed to her. It startled me even. 

"It's just Japanese bruh..." she replied.

"Did she just say bruh?" Hakuryuu mumbled.

Kyle came up behind Haru and spoke. "My lady, please do not let this peasant bring your energy down."

As Kariya realized Kyle spoke badly of him he screamed at him. "Peasant?! Who the heck are you calling a peasant?"

Haru sighed before speaking. "Kyle ,do not insult my friends like that, plus I think it will be fun if we could go out and spend some time and come back"

"My lady-"

"Just to the Arcade we will be back in an hour and we will study afterwards. All in the favor of heading to the arcade?"

Me, Kariya, Shinsuke, Amemiya, Yuuki, Shuu and Minaho raised our hands. The ones who were not raising were Tsurugi, Hakuryuu, Morimura, Manabe, Aoi, and Kageyama.

"All right, We are going to the arcade." Haru squealed in excitement.

We arrived at the arcade and took some tickets to play some games. As we went in there was the group of friends of Morimura, Manabe and Minaho's. Two were dancing on the Dance Dance Revolution while the others were playing the Air Hockey.

"Matatagi! Let me take over." Haru called out to one of the guys dancing on the DDR and took his place. 

"Hey! That's not fair." The other guy said as he kept on dancing. Haru was quite amazing she was able to hit all of the arrows in time. Unlike the guy next her who was getting tired as he was doing it for a longer time than her. We all cheered to Haru as she won. The other two who were playing hockey came over to us as well.

"Whoo!" Haru celebrated. "Good job Haru-chi!" The pink haired girl cheered her. "Aww Nozaki-chan!" Haru went over to her and hugged her. 

"Oh yeah before I forget, say hello to Raimon's soccer team's First years." She introduced each one of us slowly. "Now you guys introduce yourselves." She asked them.

"Ibuki Munemasa, 2nd year from Gassan Kunimitsu." He was tall and had spiky white hair and wears a black headband. He had plum colored eyes.

"Tetsukado Shin from Mannouzaka 2nd year" He had all of his hair braided alternately with maroon and navy light green coloring. His eyes are also navy light green and he has a fairly muscular body and fair height. He has tanned skin.

"Nozaki Sakura, from Tonegawa Tousen 2nd Year." She had light pink hair tied up at the back, resembling cherry blossom petals, along with a braid across the top of her head. She has blue eyes, fair skin color and a quite tall body. She was also in the same school as Morimura.

"Kusaka Ryuuji 3rd year from Kidokawa" The guy who waved at us yesterday.

"Matatagi Hayato, 2nd year Kaiou." He had short spiky brown hair and black eyes. He had an average height and he had a slightly-tanned skin.

"Do you guys play soccer?" I asked them with excitement.

"If we played wouldn't we have met you from the matches?" Nozaki said as she laughed. "Im in gymnastics"

"I'm in boxing" Tetsukado said raising in fists.

"I'm a delinquent" Kusaka said.

"I'm in the track and field club" Matatagi added.

"Basketball" Ibuki said.

"I see you all have different preferences. What about the 3 of you?" I turned towards the Minaho, Manabe and Moimura.

"I'm not in a club." Minaho said.

"Same." Manabe added.

"I don't do clubs." Morimura added.

"Yet cram school is alright huh?" I smirked. The three nodded.

"I thought you guys were studying why are you here?" Ibuki asked Haru.

"We came for a break. Since some of us were feeling quite tired. So everyone go and have fun" She squealed before everyone scattered going to play their own games.

Time passed rather quickly as we were playing games. Before we knew it an hour had passed and we all headed back to Haru's place to finish studying.

Shuu's POV

"What? You both aren't coming?" Haru asked me and Hakuryuu. "Yeah my sister had caught a cold and I have to go attend her."

"And i am having a  cold" Hakuryuu said wearing his mask and coughing.

"Well, get well soon to the both of them I guess. Bye now" Haru waved us goodbye at school.

Hakuryuu and I walked back to my house. "I can't believe she fell for it." Hakuryuu said.

"Well, don't let your guard down." We reached to my house and I got in. I greeted my sister as she watched her favorite cartoons. I went to my room along with Hakuryuu.

"When will she grow out it?" Hakuryuu snarked.

"What?" I muttered.

"The cartoons" He replied.

"It's fine" I laughed.

I locked my room and closed the curtains as a I turned on the light. Hakuryuu sat on the bed and I sat by the table and listened to what he had to say.

"I may was hit by the tranquilizer that day but I remember their voices vividly. Including their laugh."

"And who does it match?"

"The basketball player, Ibuki and the Athlete, Matatagi."
