Couple of days later
“do you think he could make us the favor?”
“it doesn’t look like they will notice”
“dude, the promo is really worth a try”
Jin arrived to his work station and Casar, Charlie and Ralph were acting suspicious
“yo Jin! Nice to see you”
“what is this meeting about?”
“well, you see, there is a promo here behind the building in a place called Tony Roma’s”
“what type of Promo are you talking about?”
“if we are the first customers that enter at 6:00 pm we get a bucket of beers for free for each person”
“I don’t drink alcohol”
“yes, we know that! but we would like to see if you could come with us”
“so, we can get a free bucket of beers”
Jin stared at them, then Casar said
“c’mon dude, you just have to say that you drink but it doesn’t matter if you don’t”
“when is this promo effective?”
“each Monday”
“c’mon guys, is the beginning of the week and you want to start drinking that earlier on the week?”
and then everyone said at one voice
“THEY ARE FREE BEERS!!!!!”
“ok, ok, I got it, I’ll go with you guys”
Next Monday
They all went to Tony Roma’s and won 4 buckets of 6 Sapporo beers each bucket, but since only 3 of them drank, it was 8 beers each, enough beers for a good night
“dude, this promo is amazing”
Jin was holding Casar who was almost asleep, and Charlie said
“Casar is so weak at drinking”
Then Ralph said
“Jin, you need to learn to drive so we can come every Monday and you can take us home since you don’t drink alcohol”
Charlie was laughing and said
“you have the best ideas when you are drunk Ralph”

Next Monday was the same, and then next Monday only Charlie, Ralph and Jin went for the promo, and the next Monday only Ralph and Jin went for the promo and won 2 buckets, that meant that Ralph would have to drink 12 beers alone and
“dude, are you sure you going to drink all of the beers yourself?”
“I guess”
“but you have to drive home, don’t you?”
“yes”
“are you sure you are going to be ok?”
“we will see”
Then Jin started to think
Well I guess I could try one and see what is this world that this people talk about, this might open chances to join Tenma when she goes for drinks with her friends
“give me one Ralph”
“what are you talking about dude”
“give me a beer, I’ll try one”
“are you being serious? After all this time that you have been avoiding alcohol you will just say yes?”
“yes, why not”
“OMG IM GOING TO SHARE A BEER WITH JIN”
“shut up, is not a big deal”
“I have to text Charlie and Casar”
Then Ralph gave a beer to Jin and he said
“Salucita”
“what the hell is Salucita?”
“is a word that Casar taught us, if you don’t say that, then you are not part of the team”
“ok, ok, I guess I’ll give a try”
And then Jin became an alcoholic, well, not really but he started to share drinks with his friends, was not bad at all because he was always the one that drank the minimum amount of beers, like two beers only, you could say that he was actually a social alcoholic.
Several days later
Jin was still working with Tenma in several projects, it became very common to see them together, everything was right but Jin didn’t felt that he was getting close enough to Tenma so one day, on those Thursdays of drinks Jin mentioned that he had a weird dream

“so, I had this dream: I had a box of Marlboro Light on my hand and started smoking, and when I realized it, I had already finished 5”
“so, you are going to start smoking now?”
“so, who is going to share one cigarette with me?”
Charlie then said
“I won’t be one that will take you to that level, I won’t forgive myself if I do, knowing you, you will get addicted to it”
“C’mon, I can control it”
Then Ralph extended his hand with his cigarettes and said
“Ok, if you are a man you will do it”
He was testing him knowing that Jin would say no at the end but Surprise! Jin took the cigarette and started smoking but Charlie said
“you are doing it wrong, you have to inhale and then get the smoke out”
Jin tried to follow the instruction and then Jin started to cough
“THAT’S THE WAY MAN”
It was really sad to see Jin fall on those bad habits but he had a reason, a very stupid reason, he was building courage to move to the next level with Tenma.
One day at work
Jin went to the smoking area with Tenma and he told her if she could share a cigarette with him
“when did your start smoking?”
“a couple of days ago”
“it was curiosity or you already knew how to do it?”
“it was curiosity, it happens that I started drinking alcohol too”
“oh sorry, I invited you for drinks and didn’t know you didn’t drink alcohol”
“well, I do now, and also I can control it, I was scared at the beginning”
“why?”
“I heard that those habits become a problem if you abuse”
“that’s true”
The true is that Jin wanted to get even closer to Tenma and Tenma already knew that he was doing this for that purpose
That night, Harima was staring at the mirror and asked himself
What are your plans now Jin? If you moved this far…. what are you going to do next? How far can you take this game? Do you feel that she will accept your feelings? The truth is that I will see how far this game is going to take me, is all or nothing, I’m not going to live in the past and wait for Marisa, I have to move on

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.
