Cars zoomed by as you were getting ready for the racer that you were assigned to. You’ve heard of the name before, “Fuuta Kajiyama”. From what you had seen on TV, he was more offensive, both in driving and in his vocabulary. Hell, he seemed to be a racer who wanted to win and be on top, no matter what. He’s won multiple trophies before too, his face known by other mechanics that you’ve worked with.

Fuuta skidded to a stop when planned, in place for the pit crew to change the tires and check over the car real quick. You had taken out the front tire and reattached the new tire, the one to signal him that he was ready to beat the competition when everyone was done doing maintenance on his car.

The race wasn’t even close, as he won by a landslide. Speaking to the people on TV, his voice was boisterous and words arrogant, but it seemed to switch when he was done being recorded. He sighed like the act was being peeled off, coming over to the pit crew.

“Thanks. Your work is good as always.”

He looked over the whole crew, who were his usual pit crew. His gaze landed on you, however, the first time he’s seen you before.

“And good job on your first time here. You are…?”

This was a drastic change to his persona online.
