Spring in fifth grade, the first day of a certain holiday.

"No, this is the Tressen venue."

Arriving at the Tresen venue, I speak less of excitement.

The venue was really very splendid.

As far as I can see, there are plenty of beautiful lawn practice areas.

"Oh, that's the mark of the Japanese delegate! And over there!

Football Japan was officially marked all over the training center.

This is precisely the heart of Japanese football and the official place to practice.

"Is that an indoor practice area? You're not the same size as our team...... and is that an accommodation? Cool!"

I've seen this Tressen venue in my last life, on TV.

Looking straight at the actual scale of it, I get too stifled up to be touched.

The Tresen venue is a coveted sanctuary for football boys from all over Japan. I never imagined I could stand in this place in this world.

"No, that's a really awesome place!

"... very hushaggy, Coata. Even I can be seen by children (kids)."

"Ah, Mr. Hyoma. Sorry, sorry."

It was really too hasty.

I'm here with you, Hyoma. To your words, I keep my mind shut.

"Nevertheless, Coata. You're not nervous anymore?

"Perhaps so, Mr. Hyoma. Anyway, we're a special convocation frame."

Coach first told me about Tressen the U-15, which was a real surprise then.

But a few days later, I calmed down.

Because if you think about it normally, fifth grade students are not called to Tressen, U-15.

I mean, me and Leopard would have been called in like a special convocation… "customer”.

"Let some of the teams that won the National Juvenile Games experience U-15 Tresen in rewards!

'I see. I agree'

I'm sure there was an event like that in the football association. I must have been chosen by that member.

That's why I was in a tourist mood and came to this Tresen venue. Of course, I've been perfectly prepared for football practice.

"... Still capable weather. But it looks like you, Coata."

"What? Is it not, Mr. Hyoma?

"When it starts, even if I don't like it, I know. Let's go."

"Oh, wait. Mr. Hyoma!"

Finally, the first day of U-15 Tressen begins.

We were ready to head to the lawn stadium.

Tressen finally begins.

About a hundred middle school students were aligned on the lawn.

Elites summoned from all over the country. Uniforms are each team, fragmented and without a sense of unity.

Me and Leopard, you were mixed up in it.

"Uh, now we start a special selection of U-15 tressens. Let me start with a mini-game and show you what you guys are capable of."

The head coach in charge of the U-15 says hello to us.

Suddenly they say it's a mini-game.

There will be random groupings and selections in the game format.

"Uh, winning or losing has nothing to do with the selection. Evaluate your personal play"

It seems the mini-game is a format that switches team members over and over again and repeats the mini-game.

Team wins and loses, they don't really matter. But there will not be one person in this Tressen who would deliberately lose.

This is how the mini-game format selection starts.

"Is it a mini-game first? No, you're nervous, Mr. Hyoma. And the numbers are smaller than I thought, right?

Chat with you, Hyoma, while you move to the mini-game venue.

But the National Tresen is from all over the country, and hundreds of middle school students should be convened.

But there are only about a hundred people in this venue.

"Perhaps this Tressen is a special selection, Courta."

"What? Special?

"The colour of the eyes of the adults to be judged is a little weird"

Hyoma, you were feeling something.

They're uncomfortable with the coaches judging the selection.

He's got a pretty serious look on his face and he's observing the players.

I see.

I didn't realize, did I?

You're the leopard whose father was a professional football player, so maybe he was feeling something.

Right, is this Tressen some sort of selection exam?

"But we're special, so it's easy."

I don't know what's going on with the adults.

All I can do is play hard.

And it's just about enjoying football and studying other people's play.

"Well, good luck with Coata, too"

"Yeah, you too, Hyoma!

Mini-game teaming is random.

Leopard breaks up with you, and I head to the designated arena.

"Now we're going to start a game format mini-game"

Finally, my first game in Tresen begins.

The referee's coach says hello. I had an LCD tablet in my hand.

I see, we'll be checking the athletes' movements at the array and evaluating them. That's right, the football sanctuary is modern.

"... Um, Coach, do you have a minute?

"What's up?

"He's in elementary school, isn't he?

My opponent looks strange and asks the coach.

I'm the one who stabbed him in the finger.

After all, when I was in elementary school on a fast track, did I find out? But what choice do I have?

Somehow the size of my body is different from that of me in fifth grade and my third year in middle school.

They are about 30 cm different in height. Almost a physical difference between an adult and a child.

"Oh, he's in fifth grade. But this is U-15. No problem if you are under fifteen years old by policy."

The referee had responded calmly.

the answer is some manual tone

Probably assumed beforehand that there would be this question.

"He said he was in fifth grade..."

"Below my brother..."

"Why, such a guy..."

The surrounding middle school students bother explaining the coach.

I can't help but be surprised by the others.

Anyway, the players here, mostly junior high. It's rare even in the second grade.

"Just because they're in elementary school, don't hesitate. Come on, let's start the game."

The mini-game begins with the signal of the referee.

Nevertheless, 'don't hesitate' is a harsh way of putting it.

Maybe this coach doesn't really think about us joining either?

But I don't have time to worry about that.

Now, we need to focus on the game.

The mini-game format selection had begun. First, the first game ends.

(Ugh, you're tired. But we have to go to the next practice area!

After my first mini-game, I was in a mess.

But I didn't have time to relax.

You have to shuffle the team after this and play mini-games again and again.

This time it's a mini-game, so everyone has to take part in the offense and defense.

I don't have a problem with this because it's an exercise I do every day, even on my team.

But they're all middle school students, so they don't spend half their health.

(Don't get really tired...... but the middle school guys are amazing after all!

Such an intense mini-game, but I enjoyed it.

I did have a lot of difficulty at first with the physical differences between the middle school students.

But there's more to it than that.

(After all, speed, power and leg reach are completely different from ours in elementary school...... that's why we have so much fun harvesting!

In the first of the mini-games, I was blown away by the junior high students.

This is not a foul of violation, but a normal bump just lost his strength.

(I'm no match for force...... so go faster, sharpen your moves, increase your reaction speed more......)

I keep playing mini-games twice or three times.

If you think in it, you play.

Modify my previous plays. I was searching for a way to the next level.

(Speaking of which, Ano also made his professional debut at the age of 14 and it was tough at first...)

In such an exploration, I recall one footballer.

A great player who was said to be a “Mr Little Giant” in Europe in his previous life.

He's an amazing player who took the little body handles backwards and won one personal title after another.

(I see, right! Do I have to be more responsive and more beautiful, just like him!

Reminds me of the play of "Mr. Little Giant” that was floating in my brain.

With that move, I can apply even my physical difference right now.

I can't play the exact same thing, but I can imitate it up to the nearest part. It is time to demonstrate the results of the image training that has been piling up since kindergarten.

I will continue to play more mini-games.

(All right, as expected. Sounds pretty good)

Modifying the play has allowed me to play it all at once and in a good way.

Secondary school students can now play with each other.

(Okay. Faster reflexes, faster first steps...... and more beauty!

Power and height, the difference in reach, beats the middle school students, you can never beat them.

So I'm the other part, and I'm going to challenge them. That made me feel so much easier.

They're older people, but they're the same people. My legs are the same two legs, and if they break my center of gravity, I move slowly.

I mean, if you're overwhelmed with technology, you can do anything.

(Whoa. They scored again. Yay! Let's aim for more scoring next time. And if I get used to passes and defense, I need to keep going)

I'm going to modify my movements as I do the number of mini-games.

Correct all previous thinking for elementary school students against secondary school students.

Position of passes or defenses to buddies. Upgrade to middle school specifications, such as when to unplug with dribbles.

(All right, it worked! I knew football was hilarious!

I was impressed as I played.

As we play mini-games more and more times, it gets more and more fun.

I can feel myself growing up.

What I've had a full sense of so far is the battle at the National Convention these days. The rest may be one-on-one with you, Hyoma.

Ah.

Rather, I'm starting to feel like you're more awesome than your opponent's junior high.

“Excited when confronted” is what he's up to.

(Anyway, that's fun... as much as I'd like to play all the time)

I'm starting to be able to score Don.

Plus, the path is definitely starting to decide.

Football sucks when this happens. Forget the time and enjoy it forever.

I don't even care about my remaining health HP.

I squeezed my strength to the last drop and enjoyed it.

Pippy.

"All right, that's it for Tresen today!

There was a signal from the head coach responsible.

Time had passed. Soon Tresen's first day was over.

Just like in the beginning, everyone assembles.

"The next person to be called the number will be on a different menu tomorrow..."

The head coach will call eleven numbers as he checks the LCD tablet.

Among them were me and Leopard's number.

Maybe I was bad, so I'll be on a different menu tomorrow?

Maybe it's the announcement of the fallen members.

But the middle school students are wazzing at the announcement. I was surprised to see me and Leopard about you.

What the hell is wrong with you?

"There are many who know, but these eleven will be practicing tomorrow with the U-15 representative of Japan"

Oh! Oh, my God. ⁉

Surprised.

Representative U-15 of Japan to join us tomorrow. How can I practice with them?

I'm surprised at what's going on. I was really surprised.

But why would I have a practice match with some amazing people from Japan's U-15?

"From among these eleven more active, determine the sub-members of the U-15 representative of Japan"

Huh?

That's... maybe.

"See you tomorrow. Dismissed!"

I don't know why.

Thus, I am a sub-member candidate for the U-15 representative of Japan. Eleven of its elites left it.
