Part 6

While the kids were enjoying their lunch and a little chatter, Ego Jinpachi was watching them through a bunch of cameras that were providing images to the monitor from which he had watched their training earlier. The training had gone perfectly, or rather the test that was meant to find out the approximate level of these kids and make a ranking. Everyone who watched their training will understand the hierarchy in the team.

- Could you please stop littering? Or better yet, stop littering altogether and just put everything in your bins. - Henri was saying all this behind his back and picking up the various instant noodle packets that Jinpachi was eating.

- Hmm... Leave me alone, Anri-chan. I'm busy right now.

- Huh? What's this? Oh! Analysis! Can I help you too?

- Just stay out of the way.

- What?! He's a monster! - shouted Henri while looking at the record and analysis of a player named "Matsumae Takahiro". His stats looked very impressive. This time Ego used the same benchmark that the other clubs and analysts use.

- And this is not the end of his improvement. You should be well aware of that yourself. He's versatile, but we need strikers, so his position will be forward anyway, however, those are impressive stats for a 16 year old kid from Japan. Now, Itoshi-kun.

- These two go head-to-head, however, if it weren't for the fact that Matsumae-kun only started playing six months ago.... According to him, he's been practicing before, and it's provable, however, that his skills as both a goalie and defender are pumped up.... and his skills as a striker are close to the top 100 in the world... that's not developed at home or on the field with friends from the backyard... it's all developed on the field of professional soccer, or close to it. And the fact is, he's only been on the field six months! - said Ego, a speech that shocked Henri. After all, while the stats were impressive, the time Matsumae Takahiro played on the field was more impressive.

- Unbelievable!!! So we really have two genius kids? - Henri's eyes were now shining with hope for the national team's victory.

- I'll tell you more, there are six more. There's also Nagi Seishiro, Baro Shoei, Shidou Ryusei, Karasu Tabito, Eita Otoya, and Yukimiya Kenyu. All of them showed top class in this prison! Matsumae-kun, has already guessed the purpose of the ranking, and doesn't tell anyone, which means his high analytical skills, as well as his deduction abilities, and high IQ. How will he prove himself in this project? How will they do? There's only one left....
