"Ohohoho! You're all here. I will now be showing you the video footage of the matches played by your next opponent, Australia."
The video was shown a large leaf covering the view, they waited for the next clip but that is not they were expecting for their next match. The leaf was shoved down showing a woman in a bikini, she looks like she is smiling at the camera yet looks like flirting.
"Mr. CEO! This isn't Hawaii!"
The video was turn off by their Coach, who is sweating due to the video he shown to them.
"Oh dear! That was the video footage of when Natasha and I went to a Hawaiian center."
"Don't show us the wrong video!" Goujin told him like it was a warning.
"Ohohoho! Well, to tell you the truth, I couldn't obtain the video on the Australian team."
"What?!" Everyone said like a unison.
"Then what's the point of this meeting...?" Kazemaru asks him.
"There's none. With that said, you're dismissed for today!"
The whole team sweat drop at their coach's absurd videos until Zhao Jinyun spoke again gaining their attention "(lastname)-chan, there's something I have to tell you later at my office. I'll be waiting patiently" with that he left.
"Why only (lastname)-san?" (Sakanoue)
"Is he planning something on her?" (Hiura)
"Maybe we should company her" (Mansaku)
All the boys started to have negative thoughts "Guys, calm down," they look at (name) who was the one spoke to them "I know Coach is a somewhat pervert and idiot one, also who can ruin someone's innocence on things, but I was thinking this might be my Judgment job including Yoshihiro too."
They thought for a second then they agree with her "I'll be waiting at my room if we got another Judgment job, okay?" Yoshihiro said as he was on the door standing there "Okay, I'll tell you if we did have a job to do again."
They all exit the room. Ichihoshi went over to Endou "Endou-san! Could you join me in practice?" He asks him "Sure, lay it on me!"

"Thank you! Wow, Endou-san will be checking out my plays. This a dream come true!"
"You're exaggerating, Ichihoshi."
(name) saw Kidou being suspicious "Being suspicious on Ichihoshi?" Kidou looks at her "There are few things I want to know him, we don't know him very well but I'll ask Coach to get some information on Ichihoshi" "Okay, I understand. Just don't get too suspicious on some things."
Few minutes passed, (name) arrives at Zhao Jinyun's office "Coach, is there something you need to say since you called me."
"Are you curious about Ichihoshi-kun?"
"A little bit, sir. Is there something special about Ichihoshi?"
"Actually, he is something else, but please don't tell this to anyone because I trust you."
(name) was confused on what the Coach is telling about Ichihoshi and he trust her on what?
"W-What do you mean by that, Coach? And why is Ichihoshi is something else?"
"Ichihoshi-kun is a disciple of orion, a disciple who will eliminate the players who are unwanted in Inazuma Japan including their teammates who were interfering their goal."
She widens her eyes hearing it "W-Why would Ichihoshi do that including the other disciples?!"
"I will tell you at the right time. Right now, I want you to have a chat with Ichihoshi-kun, and I know he will understand you."
"I... I understand. I'll be on my way to chat with him."
(name) went over to where Endou and Ichihoshi is, she arrives there Kidou and Ichihoshi are somewhat arguing on something even Endou was there too.
"A prank?! Are you kidding me?! It was clearly you who was trying to hurt Endou, Ichihoshi!" (Kidou)
"W-What are you talking about? It wasn't me... You have to believe me, Endou-san!" (Ichihoshi)
"Oi! What's going on here?"
Kidou, Ichihoshi, and Endou looks at (name) as she approached to them "Kidou, what are you doing to Ichihoshi?" "Ichihoshi is trying to hurt Endou!" She was shock hearing it even at her friend's tone.
"Hey, wait! Calm down, Kidou. Don't make (lastname) think that Ichihoshi was the one who did it" Endou told him as Kidou let go Ichihoshi for grabbing his collar shirt.

"Fortunately, no one got hurt. Let's end the practice for today, okay?" (Endou)
"Okay..." (Ichihoshi)
(name) looks at Ichihoshi "Ichihoshi, can you come with me? I just want have a chat with you" "U-Uh sure, (lastname)-san."
Then she looks at Kidou "Also Kidou, don't follow us. I can handle myself."
With that Ichihoshi followed her as they went to her room, she closed the curtains she knew what will happened as it makes Ichihoshi uncomfortable on what she is doing.
"S-So, what do you want to talk about, (lastname)-san?"
"I found out that you're one of the disciple of orion."
Ichihoshi was shock then becomes serious as his tone on his voice changed a little "You'll be spreading it to team, huh?"
"Nope, I'm not going to do that. There is a reason I want to know more about the organization you are in, tell me is there a lot disciples of orion in the future matches?"
"Yes. The next match which is Australia, the captain, Satan Gaul, is one of the disciples."
"From our previous battle, that Baek guy, is he a disciple too?"
"Indeed he is part of it. However, he is taken away."
It confused her "Taken away? What's that supposed to mean?"
"If they fail to beat us, then they will be probably eliminated or held as a hostage."
"I see..."
"What are you planning to do now, (lastname)?"
"Isn't it obvious? I'll save you including all the disciples, for now it is not the right time, but I'll be planning a strategy. Ichihoshi, what the reason you join here as a disciple?"
Ichihoshi looks down on the ground as he had flashbacks "I was doing this for the sake of my brother" "Can you tell me about him?" He shook his head "I can't tell you yet, I will tell you at the right time."
She pats his back "I understand how you feel, but I'll wait for you to tell me that, also Ichihoshi..." He looks at her as he saw a comforting smile "You're not alone, you have me as your friend who you could trust on."
(name) exit her room then stays at the hallways, she got her cellphone as she saw a message from Nosaka.
To: (name) (lastname)
From: Nosaka Yuuma
Hello, (name)-chan. I'm here in America for the surgery, I hope you and Nishikage are doing fine there.
She texted him back
To: Nosaka Yuuma
From: (name) (lastname)
That's great to hear, I'm praying for your surgery will be successful. Nishikage and I were doing fine here, he even helped me in our practice.
To: (name) (lastname)
From: Nosaka Yuuma
I know you and Nishikage will have a quality times together. Also wait for my return there in Inazuma Japan, I love you 😘
(name) blushed reading the word 'I love you' and seeing the kissy face emoji that Nosaka send her, he really did changed a little thanks to Inamori and Haizaki. "That was embarrassing, Nosaka-kun..." (name) uttered quietly
It was midnight as (name) was on her bed looking up doing nothing then drifted to sleep 'I hope nothing bad will happened in the future matches...'
Hiroto came inside her room seeing her sleeping face, he sat on the bed and looks at her with a worried face while holding her hand gently "Why won't you remember...?" He asks but he knew he will wait for awhile.
He leans down to kiss her on lips then caressed her cheek "I love you and nothing will change this feeling when I first met you..." Hiroto tucks himself inside the blanket and hugs (name) closer to him then fallen asleep with her.
Somewhere, a guy with mildly short spiky cut orange hair with spiky strands on his forehead. He wears a green coat with a wide collar, complete with with prominent, spiky brownish-white fur trimming lining the hood, over a light red shirt covered in many flower-like motifs. He wears black pants and whitish sneakers. He was looking up in the night skies with a determine look on his face.
"It's time to find her..."
He looks at his palm hand and he had flashback about the child who saw him as she was treating him nicely and equally, he clenched his hand into a fist.
"I hope I could see you once again, (name)..."

Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.
