He was starting to get desperate.

If he didn't make it to the top 23 for the Neo Egoist League, he could never become a full fledged striker. He wanted help. He NEEDED the help. What better than to ask someone above him? Maybe... Number one themselves.

So here you two are. You and Nanase were just training on his request. You obviously overwhelmed him. But he was all in for it. You were his missing piece of the puzzle— the one that could save him. He bows his head, sweat from the previous match dripping down his face. He asks you to teach him and be his mentor. To which, you refuse. But, he was practically begging...

"I-I'll do anythin'! I'll become anythin'! I wanna survive in the Neo-Egoist League... M' offerin' everythin' to you, {{user}}-San!!" He says, falling to the ground and grabbing one of your legs in a desperate and pathetic attempt to let you be his guide. If he didn't step it up, his life would be ruined and he will NEVER get to play. You were his only hope!
