Scene 1 — Individual Training Begins
As the new day began inside Blue Look, the gym felt like a merciless psychological testing room.
Bright white lights reflected every movement, every breath, every tension in the players' bodies.
From above, huge screens monitored them.
A cold, robotic voice boomed:
"Individual training begins now."
Each player moved to their assigned section.
The space shattered any temporary bonds of friendship between them.
Here… each one stood alone before their future.

Scene 2 — Pachira's Training: "Dancing with the Self"
Pachira's playing field was a field filled with rapidly moving lights.
His opponent was a robot that emerged from the ground, suddenly changing direction, disappearing and reappearing in an instant.
Pachira smiled… a strange smile, half innocent, half mad.
He caught the ball with his foot and sprinted.
But in an instant… all the sounds around him faded.
And a glimpse of the past began.
---
Pachira Flashback — One Moment
A small child, carrying a ball bigger than himself, runs down a narrow alley, pursued by other children.
One of them shouts:
"Pass the ball, Pachira! You're not good enough!"
His small feet stop.
His eyes fill with crushing fear.
Then he runs… not after the ball, but to escape their stares.
---
Back to the Present
The robot's voice is rapidly approaching.
Pachira breathes heavily, then smiles even wider:
"I won't run anymore… I'll dance."
He begins an unpredictable dribble, as if he has extra legs.
Every step carries the trace of an old fear, but it has transformed into astonishing power.
---
Scene 3 — Issage Training: "Mind in the Storm"
Issage's arena was different.
3D screens display virtual players attacking him from all sides.
He has to make the right decision in just 0.8 seconds.
Ego's voice comes through a small speaker:
"Hesitation... means death."
Isaghi grits his teeth.
He grabs the ball and advances.
The pressure on his brain is immense... all the options appear and disappear rapidly.
And suddenly—
Everything stops.
---
Isaghi's Flashback — One Moment
He's playing in a small neighborhood, empty streets, cold weather.
No players, no crowd...
Just a cheap ball and a lone child kicking it against a wall.
The wall bounces the ball back without emotion.
The silence has taught him one thing:
"If I don't think... I won't advance."
---
Back to the Present
Isaghi whispers:
"I don't have the luxury of hesitation... every step is everything."
He moves quickly, reads the field, anticipates, changes, decides.
The simulation tries to overthrow him, but he grows with every passing moment.
---
Scene 4 — Nagi's Training: "The Silence That Explodes"
Nagi's playing field was very simple… but the harshest.
A robot with high tactical intelligence tracked his movements with sensors.
Any slight delay became an instant error.
Nagi didn't like to move around much.
But this place forced him.
He lifted his heavy feet…
Then he heard a voice in his head.
---
Nagi's Flashback — One Moment
A lavish room, a wealthy family, his father looking at him coldly:
"If only you… had tried harder."
Nagi had been a quiet child, but now he felt the weight of the world.
---
Back to the Present
He picks up the ball and says in a dangerously calm voice,
"Okay… I'll try this time."
And his movements begin to become precise, powerful, unpredictable.
Every skill emerges as if it has been dormant for ages.
---
Scene 5 — Rio's Training: "The Heart of a Fighter"
Rio's playing field is like a jungle of giant robots.
Each one tries to push him, knock him down, and forcefully steal the ball from him.
But Rio… was smiling.
His physical strength coursed through his veins like a spark.
He slams his shoulder into one of the robots, and a piece of it breaks off.
But in a moment, amidst the power, an inner silence descends.
---
Rio's Flashback — One Moment
Rio is in an old, dilapidated playing field, playing alone.
The sky is gray, the wind is cold.
No one wanted him on their team because of his excessive strength.
He felt alone despite all his muscles.
---
Back to the Present
He says to himself:
"Whether they like me or not… my strength is mine."
He strikes the robots like they are nothing.
But his eyes are filled with an unquenchable fire.
---
Scene 6 — Chigbury's Training: "Hawk-Eye"
Chigbury's pitch was the craziest.
360° projectors displayed 11 virtual players moving at realistic speeds.
He had to read every angle of the pitch in a single moment.
This was more mental training than physical.
Then suddenly…
He's plunged into a dark moment from the past.
---
Chigbury Flashback — One Moment
A child stands near an adult pitch, watching the players.
They are better than him, faster than him, stronger than him.
But he doesn't decide to become like them.
He decides to understand them.
He stands for hours.
He doesn't move.
He just watches.
---
Back to the Present
He smiles:
"Every move… anticipation… angle… I know it."
His mind works at an alarming speed, analyzing, predicting, and maneuvering.
His training is the most silent, but the most intelligent.
---
Scene 7 — Asaf: The Real Pressure Begins
Asaf…
He stood in an arena resembling a monster park.
The robots were using:
Impossible evasions
Superhuman speed
Illogical decisions
It was as if the system wanted to show him that his granted skills weren't enough without a strong mind.
He swallowed hard.
The pressure here was greater than on any other player.
Then—
Ego appeared on the small screen in front of him.
He said in a very calm…
but heartbreaking voice:
"Asaf Shinji… the system's skills won't save you.
Let me see now…
Are you a true talent?
Or just a soulless copy?"
---
Scene 8 — Chapter End (Uncut)
The robots began moving around Asaf at breakneck speed.
The air pressed against his chest.
Every nerve in his body trembled.
But his eyes widen…
He feels an inner explosion beginning to form.
Elsewhere, each player is engulfed in their own personal battle:
Pachira dances with the memories of his fear
Isagi thinks with a burning heart
Nagi tries honestly for the first time
Ryo fights alone
Chigebri analyzes every breath
And Asaf… confronts the truth
And the chapter ends at the moment… the monsters are unleashed.
