Haruma and the rest of the Tokyo Wolves U17 stood straight in a line, all dressed in their jerseys, arms folded behind their backs, their faces were calm but sharp, radiating focus and quiet determination.
In front of them stood Minato sensei, arms crossed over his chest, a proud smile spread across his face. He was in silence taking in the sight of all the players dressed in their jerseys, all seeming ready and focused.
Besides him, Raon was standing with a warm smile, his gaze calmly scanning all the players.
Minato sensei then reached into his pocket and pulled out a captain's armband. The band was sleek black with 'Respect' emblems stitched on it, accented by a strip of red fabric.
Minato sensei was looking down at the bands with a warm smile for a moment before looking up at that one player.
"Kurogami Shikyo!" He called out politely, with his voice steady.
