(Part 7)

Soon after, Kenzo came out growling ruffling his hairs drying them. "This damn cold water…!" he cursed.

"How many times did Damian tell you it was the tap on the right? Can't you just turn it on?!" Cassiel asked in disbelief wearing a sky blue trousers with a light yellow topped shirt.

Gabriel wore his bracelet behind him exhaling. A red half sleeved shirt with white jeans fittig him perfectly, metal chains dangled from his belt making light clanking noises as he walked.

Kenzo tugging his sun glasses on his white grey t-shirt, over which a white unbuttoned shirt was worn. Its sleeves rolled up, he wore a blue jeans matching it. A long chain resting from his belt to his pocket, with a pair of blue loafers. He sat on the couch beside Orion crossing his arms, his eyes closed. From afar his earring on the right ear glinted.

Aaron tracing his disheveled hairs asked, "Want me to give you a haircut? Junior king?"

Kenzo peeked, "What…?"

"Just give him a nice hairstyle instead." Alan interrupted.

Kenzo twitched his brow while Alan smiled affectionately, "Kings are going back home after all."

Aaron nodded standing behind Kenzo who couldn't retaliate over Alan's words. Instead of starting a useless bicker over a good mood, he remained silent.

Alan looked around, "After Kenzo, make a good hairstyle for Xavier, Azazel, Cassiel and Ezekiel too."

 "Am I a hairstyling machine today…?" Aaron thought speechless. 

"Brother, I am ready!" Ines barged out of the room enthusiastically, wearing white shorts and a yellow sunflower shirt as other middleschoolers followed behind. Gabriel patted Ines's head as he joined Adam and Ryan.

Suddenly, Evandor entered the dorms. "Vice-captain Evan?" Elias asked.

Evan nodding came inside settling down. Carrying files in his arm, he looked at the boys who gathered around him wondering. "Is everyone here including the middle schoolers?" Evan questioned.

Zachariah looked over, "Everyone is here, except for Nagi. He is upstairs."

The middle schoolers looked at each other clueless.

Evan taking a deep breath rested the files on the center table calling, "Gather around all of you. Before you all leave, we have something important to discuss."

The highschoolers and middle schoolers including Alan listened attentively.

"This year's PSL are hosted in Islamabad1. Tomorrow morning, we are going to travel Islamabad by air and get ourselves registered as PSL participants. Coaches travelling alongside us will be Nidou Rex Lorenzo as our team's Head coach, Syed Mir Aram as Chief counselor, Seles Consalvo as our Medical doctor and a new instructor Pedro Barcelona whom we'll meet in Islamabad later." 

"After the registration tomorrow, we'll be having the opening ceremony and later on, the first match which will be played against Islamabad United and Multan Sultans." Evan explained.

"When will have ours?" Heber asked curious.

"The Second match, the very next day will be ours against Lahore Qalandars." Evan replied.

"Yikes! So early." Azazel flinched.

"Yes!!" Adam clenched his fists pumped up.

"For each and every match, teams will be selected by head coach himself and we'll be informed. Afterwards, Elias will plan strategies with the selected members for the game." Evan continued, "This time the teams are strong and all are aiming for the world cup, especially aiming to beat India before they could win the 3rd consecutive T-20 World cup trophy. Winning the PSL won't be a walk in the park. So prepare yourselves everyone, both physically and mentally."

Kenzo glanced at Helios and Seraph who looked back seriously. Xavier too pondered as Aaron braided his hairs from the side. The highschoolers alongside Alan nodded.

"Anything else Vice-captain?" Senri asked.

"No this is all. Further information will be provided later, so you all can continue your tasks." 

Soon, Nagi came downstairs. Wearing a modern brown fit suit with his hairs neatly combed and a long coat draped on his shoulders, he fastened his watch. A business man's aura excluding him, the middle schoolers and high schoolers stared awed.

"Is he even a student…?" Noah whispered in Aigou's ear who shrugged his shoulders amazed.

"All ready?" Isa asked.

Nagi nodded, "My bag…"

"It's on the table over there." Ren pointed.

Nagi nodded again. Orion at his sight surprised, instantly looked away rolling his eyes. "Such a showoff…" he mumbled annoyed.

"Wow… is he going home or an office?" Feng asked beside Adam who admired awed, "I want to be like that too one day."

"Nagi's family is one of PSL's very important sponsor2. As he takes the future heir's position. He has to go and attend important paper work." Haruf explained.

"Ah…" Seraph and Poseidon realized.

 Evan at Nagi's sight spoke up, "I remember now, Nagi…"

Nagi turned around, "Hm?"

"Rauf asked me to tell you that you take Orion with you when you leave."

Hearing him for a moment the highschoolers and Alan stood, sat and worked dumbstruck with their mouths agape as if an earthquake had just struck them.

Orion turned at Evan baffled while Nagi twitched his brow.

"What?!" "Pardon?" the two asked together.

The middle schoolers tracing their sudden shock and hostility looked at each other oblivious. 

"Why him?" "Why me?!" Nagi and Orion jinxed again, clicking at their tongues at each other's sight.

Evan, not in a mood to argue switched his phone on, pressing a recording as highschoolers surrounded him hearing carefully.

Rauf's voice resonated throughout the room, "Nagi, take Orion with you when you leave. He is fluent in many languages and can help you deal with investors from Europe. He would be a great helping hand in your sponsor's project. Orion too should help him out as much as possible. And, make sure not to fight!" he warned at the end.

Silence hovering them, Alan blinked at the two who looked away exasperated.

"Rauf, that little…" Elias mumbled as Haruf chuckled.

Kazuna and Senri looked at each other anxiously.

"Come on, get ready Orion. It's the boss's orders." Ren pushed him from the couch.

Orion who was in no mood to go simply had to. Throwing his PSP aside, he stood up heading upstairs grumbling vexed.

Nagi clicked his tongue, "Even I am fluent in many languages, what's with that lousy excuse?"

"But even if Orion is weak in studies, he is really talented in linguistics. If you are fluent in 5 languages, he fluent in 10 of them. Rauf isn't wrong." Evan told.

Nagi unimpressed and twice irritated on his shortcomings picked his bag heading out. "I am leaving! Tell him to come fast or I'll go alone." he slammed the dorms door behind.

Alan blinking exhaled, "What was that?"

Turning around he looked at the highschoolers who grabbed their foreheads. "They are surely going to kill each other!!" Senri freaked beside Aigou.

The middle schoolers flinched over the 'Kill!'.

"Even if we don't want to go home, we would surely have to follow them now!" Noah added grabbing his head.

"Is it that bad…?" Ryan asked.

"It is, it is. You don't know. Their relationship is twice much worse than Rauf's and Kazuna's!" Isa told.

Kazuna twitched his brow, "Excuse me?"

"Dear goodness, and here I thought we could rest for a day." Zachariah spoke hopeless.

"So you'll follow them?" Xavier asked amused.

"We have to! Even if we don't want to. Or else, we'll see corpses coming back." Senri exaggerated.

"Yikes!" Adam hid behind Seraph as Feng gulped.

"Rauf is a real trouble maker…" Elias sighed.

"It's not like that…" Evan stood up, "We need their UNSEAL/UNBREAK for the upcoming PSL, they are an immensely great asset to us. If they keep on fighting and arguing like they normally do we'll achieve no progress and would only lose their talents. Rauf deliberately sent them together for this."

"Making things harder for us instead…" Noah complained.

"As for the rest, you all can leave. It's already 6:15 and Alan, Rauf was calling you at the garage." Evan informed heading out.

Alan standing up nodded at the highschoolers who waved back. "Take care, Alan." Aigou hugged him.

Alan smiled, "I'll be back." His gaze turning to the middle schoolers he gleamed, "Let's meet again." switching off his phone he headed out as Evan once again turned around.

Alan halted. 

"And one more thing…" Evan remembered.

"There was more?" Ren asked.

"Yes, head coach Nidou asked the middle schoolers to run to the bus once they leave the dorms. It's their morning exercise."

"What?!" the middle schoolers yelped bewildered.

"But we are all dressed up?!" Heber and Azazel retorted.

Kenzo clenched his fists annoyed beside Gabriel as Helios and Seraph sighed.

"It was ordered by the head coach, you will all receive a penalty if you don't listen rascals. Your choice!" Evan warned leaving.

Alan smacked his forehead.

"I will blow him up…" Gabriel gritted.

"Don't worry Gabriel, one day we all will." Seraph concurred as Kenzo nodded, "And, I'll be first." Xavier however smiled nonchalant.

Alan and the middle schoolers all departing. Alan took the 3rd stadium's route. Taking the elevator underground and heading inside Kazuna's workspace. He took the garage's path. The garage filled with the base's rides. At the farthest corner he traced Rauf's sight.

Resting his back on a beautiful light green, silver and black sports bike, he gazed at his phone. His wavy, golden, glossy hairs reaching his shoulders, he wore a skin light grey collared shirt with black jeans. His sleeves rolled up with his neck line revealing from the collar. The bracelet on his wrist glinted. Overall his sight looked dashing.
