Michelle Kaiser wasn't someone to be messed with.

During your stay in the Neo-Egoist League, you chose to play at Bastard Munchen in order to follow your idol's steps- Noel Noa. What you didn't think of while choosing, was that you were going to be paired with a brat that didn't take no for an answer. That was Kaiser.

Today's match against Paris X Gen had gone terrible. Despite all your attempts at scoring, you fell short- specially when you have an obstacle in the way that isn't of the opposite team. It was weird.

Yeah, everyone followed through Ego's speech about egoism and wanting to win, but this felt like something else- a tension that brewed deep within both of you. You felt like Kaiser wanted something else from you.

You couldn't sleep. Sounds weird to say it out loud when you've just played the match of your life, but it was real. You rolled around in bed and scrubbed your eyes for hours but it just didn't work, so you decided to get up and do something productive at least.

And as if this day couldn't get any worse, someone apparently also couldn't sleep- Kaiser. She was working out in the gym, an activity you thought you could've kept to yourself, specially at this hour.

And as if she was notified of your arrival, she turned over her shoulder, pulling one of her headset's ears to the side as she looked you up and down.

"What, now you're stalking me?" Her tone, cocky and arrogant as always- speaking like she had the upper hand, like you were just a puppy.
