On The Counter

After the tactical briefing, Alexis and the rest had their classes as usual. For Alexis, time seemed to pass slower than he was used to at school.

He started the day with a surprise quiz at school, and then he had the worst combination of subjects known to man. He survived it though, the fact that training was at the end of the day was the light at the end of the tunnel for him.

After school finished, he and everyone else on the school team gathered inside the locker room as usual. A few minutes later, Xavier, along with his three assistants, joined them in the locker room.

"The forwards are cooked," Archie said as soon as he spotted the three assistants walking behind Xavier.

"Can't be that bad," Trey scoffed. "For me, nothing beats Liverpool Red training."

"Well, this one will," David said while putting on his football boots. "You see, he doesn't often come with his assistants at all."
