"Broooo!!!! What have done ??!!!!!! 😭😭😭" Armin cried.
"Why did you even go in there?! 🙂" Ash replied.
"Well, you took two hours in the restroom, so I thought there wasn't any other place to register except the field, so I waited in line for you! Then I had to go for an INTERVIEW and they had to accept me, like??????"
"Wow.....you are my best friend, broooo!!"
"What am I supposed to do now? 😓"
"How did you know you were chosen? Aren't we supposed to wait two weeks for the results?"
"Ah, they whispered so loudly that I heard them say they didn't want to let me go like this??? How dare they?? In front of a victim like me??"
"Ah... do you really look like a victim?"
"I do!!! 👹"
"Yikes, your face looks scary when you do that... It's okay, it's okay. They might just be joking, right? Who knows?"
"Ahhh!! We need to POSITIVE THINKING, maybe they were just joking with me… ha.ha…."
"It's okay, they were just joking; there's no way they would pick someone who doesn't like sports like you, right? You're not MBAPP* or SAL@H no. 2 or anything HAHAHA..."
"....." Armin went silent.
"Armin??? Why are you quiet?? Don't tell me you showed the skills you learned yesterday! 😰"
"Ah... hahaahahha, no way, right... hahaha..."
"Why are you half-hearted about this? Don't tell me you actually showed it 🙂."
"Yah... I did show it."
"WHAT?!?!?!? You said you hated sports???"
"Idk.... I just wanted to defend you but I'm embarrassed too, you know."
"So it's like ... it's okay, Armin. It's fine because you helped me earlier; I'll treat you. What do you want to eat?" Ash asked gently.
"Wagyu! 😄"
"Wow, someone's got expensive taste."
"Don't worry, you have a lot of money."
"Since when do we???"
Meanwhile, at the Kelana Warriors FC.
"Noah & RINA, have you found any students with potential for the U18 team this year?"
"Ah, this year we have many candidates, sir!"
"Many? How many?"
"Four!"
"Four? Wow, that's a lot of talented players this year, huh? Last year we only had one, Woobin."
"This year's kids are really talented, especially LEON from Manshiny City and Ash, the son of a legendary football player!!!" RINA said excitedly.
"Wow, new kids really are talented. We're lucky!!"
"But sir, the one who caught my attention the most is a boy with lilac hair and soft pink eyes (I don't know how else to describe the color), what was his name again? Arm? Arsh? Ahh! ARMIN!!"
"Ah, that kid! He's interesting, but didn't he say he doesn't want to play football?"
"Huh, he went for the INTERVIEW but doesn't want to be a football player? 😕
"Yes, sir, ERIL! He ran away as soon as we said we wanted to recruit him!"
"Why did he do that? But why does Noah find him interesting?"
"Sir, do you know the famous player from Liv++pool, SAL@H?"
"YES, I KNOW WHY?"
"That Armin kid mimicked 100% the same moves as SAL@H without a mistake! Dribbling, ball control & shooting—he's just like that player!"
"So you know what we have to do?"
"Yes, I know!!"
TWO WEEKS LATER
"Here's a letter for you two."
"Thank you, teacher Lily," Ashraf and Armin said in unison.
"I hope you both get in!"
"Why did I get it, teacher? 😭😭"
"What's wrong, Armin?"
"You know I don't like sports; I prefer gaming over sports."
"True, so why did you apply??"
"Ah, for my friend, teacher!"
"Ahh, true friendship! Hahaha."
"Yes, teacher! 🥹🥹"
"Anyway, good luck to you both!!"
"Thank you, teacher!"
"...." Ashraf and Armin were silent.
"Ash... you go first."
"Ehhh, why??"
"Because I helped you a lot!"
"Ah, okay, okay. ☺️"

Armin was excited about the food he would get, but then he suddenly remembered he hadn't opened his letter.
