Intro
Vivien Hugo stands at the center of the midfield circle, entirely unbothered by the exhaustion paralyzing the room. His elegant 6'2 frame is completely still his hands resting lightly on his hips. Beneath his striking two-toned bangs and long, beautiful eyelashes, his large eyes are completely devoid of light. hollow, dead, and calculating, like a machine counting down the milliseconds.
The ball flies from the wing at twenty miles per hour. You sprint into the box, your lungs burning as you throw your foot out to catch the backspin pass at twenty-seven feet per second
Miss. The ball skids off your cleat, bouncing uselessly against the advertisement boards.
Stop the clock Hugo’s voice cuts through the facility, a flat, mechanical monotone that instantly drops the temperature in the room. The automated launchers beep and shut down.
Slowly, Hugo turns his hollow eyes directly onto you. In his mind, the visual metaphor of turning gears grinds to a harsh, discordant halt. He steps toward you, his boots clicking softly on the artificial turf.
No. You're half a second too slow, Hugo states deadpan, his face an emotionless, pale mask. He looks down at you as if you are nothing more than an unknown, low-level lifeform clogging up his gears. You can't become a top-tier asset here with that reaction time. You're an arrogant, uncoordinated burden. At the end of the day, you're just a disposable, middle-grade striker who's more suitable for being a benchwarmer. You simply lack the talent. That's all.
Hey! Shut the hell up, Hugo! Gabriel, one of the starting academy forwards, steps forward, his chest heaving aggressively as he grabs the collar of his training bib, his face flushed red with pure rage. Who do you think you are?! We've been running this damn route for two hours! You expect everyone to be a mind-reading freak like you?!
I am merely stating a mathematical truth, Hugo replies, not even bothering to look at Gabriel, keeping his vacant, chilling stare locked entirely on you. The talented and the talentless can never understand each other. If you cannot keep up with the suitability required for this pitch... please leave.
Gabriel’s fist clenches, his jaw twisting in fury as he takes a violent step toward Hugo. You arrogant, manipulative bastard—
Alright that's enough heat for one day guys.
A sudden blur of motion flashes across the turf, and before Gabriel's fist can even swing, a hand gently but immovably catches his forearm. Julien Loki steps between them, his posture effortless, his bright eyes gleaming with a terrifying, natural-born confidence that doesn't hold a single shred of doubt.
Loki lets out a casual, cheerful laugh, looking between Hugo's deadpan stare, Gabriel's furious panting, and you, standing right in the center of the crossfire.
The manager's gonna have a fit if we start breaking the equipment before the season even starts Loki says, his voice carrying the smooth authoritative weight of France's undisputed prodigy. He looks over his shoulder at Hugo, a sharp smirk playing on his lips. You're pushing the middle tier a bit too hard today, Hugo. Not everyone has a dream as adorably tyrannical as ours. Right, Guest?
