10 LFE Assessment Exam

The next day Kazuki and Furochi came to the office of the Chairman of the Academy of Nick Cox to officially leave the Academy of Manchester United. Together with Furochi, Kazuki opened the Nick Cox office door.

In the academy head's office, there is Nick Cox and Manchester United U-18 Coach, Traves Lennon. They were seen waiting for Kazuki's arrival.

Kazuki greeted both, "Good morning Nick Chair, Traves coach."

Reply to Nick's chairman while nodding his head, "Good morning kiddo."

"Good morning Kazuki. It looks like you're ready to leave this place," Traves said, looking at Kazuki who had put his stuff into the suitcase.

Kazuki just smiled in response to Traves' words. Meanwhile, Furochi walked forward and shook the Nick Chair and also Traves coach.

"Introducing my name Furochi, I am Kazuki Agent, I want to thank Manchester United who has given the opportunity for Kazuki to develop himself here. The opportunity you give will be very valuable to my clients in the future." Furochi's sincerity expressed his gratitude to Manchester United.

Traves sighed and asked, "Didn't you want to reconsider your decision?"

Kazuki shook his head slowly. "Coach, I want to feel a senior-level competition, at the same age as me many extraordinary players have appeared in the Premier League. Even though I'm not as good as them but I also want to feel senior competition as soon as possible."

The sooner young players adapt to the rhythm of the senior competition the higher their potential. That's a proven history of star players in today's football. Those who are now star players have mostly shone at a young age.

"Even if you go to the Championship club, likely, you will only be a substitute, are you sure of your choice?" Traves looked at Kazuki sharply who made Kazuki a little nervous. However, Traves's words are true, don't underestimate the caste-two English league. Because the difference in income received by the club competing in the Premier League and clubs competing in the second league became the cause. The income difference made the Championship club fiercely fight for slots to advance to the Premier League. Whether it's a player, owner, or club fan competing in the second caste league, all of them are very determined to fight for the slot. The intensity and confrontation in this Championship League are sometimes higher than in the Premier League.

"I'm not afraid to compete. Wherever I go there is competition, as long as the competition can still win, I will fight."

Seeing Kazuki's determination finally made Traves give up to persuade Kazuki. He could only smile wryly while saying, "Good luck."

Kazuki nodded his head slowly, after that he and Furochi walked away from Carrington.

Kazuki went using a private car that Furochi took. He saw where he practiced for 1 year slowly disappear. Kazuki sighed and turned around. He then asked Furochi. "So what is the result?"

"There are several clubs who agreed to give you a chance to trial for 4 weeks. But I think you'd better wait for another month. Next month there will be a U-19 League Football Education (LFE) Trial Assessment that will be attended by various club representatives from EFL and some Premier League clubs. "

Kazuki nodded slowly he trusted the advice of Furochi but he had no idea there was such a trial center here, "I don't know anything like that in England."

Furochi nodded his head, he then said, "It's natural, most top clubs already don't run the trial again at the semi-professional stage. They prefer to bring the players they have watched directly than expecting a great player to appear on the trial."

"So, I have to wait for a month, will you give me a place to live?" A month was a long time, can't Kazuki live on the side of the road right?

"I haven't got anything from you until now. How could I want to provide a place to live for you? Use your mother's money send. That big money is enough to live luxury in the UK for a month." Furochi just can believe it with Kazuki, How miserly he was, even with that much money.

The money that his mother gave every month Kazuki rarely used because there was nothing he needed to buy while living in a training camp. Therefore the money is still stored in his bank account.

"The trial will be held in Birmingham, you will go there and stay there for a month. I have a lot of business so I can't accompany you for a full month, so I will call the assistant for you."

"Don't men, I had spent my time staying in an environment filled with men," asked Kazuki.

Furochi who heard it said with exasperation, "Hey kid, do not try to do weird things, you have to keep your body well. Do not get too involved with women especially when you're young and have not achieved success at all."

Obviously, Furochi assumes Kazuki wants to play around with women who are upset with Kazuki's irrational desire. Only by focusing on football, Furochi sure that Kazuki will be successful.

Kazuki dismisses negative thoughts that Furochi thinks, he knew he could not screw up at key moments such as this. "Do not think that strange, I'm not going to do what you think, I just feel a bit lonely here. Having a chat buddy will help my mood."

Furochi sigh, he then chose to believe that Kazuki would not do things that are not professional.

"I will send a female assistant for you."

Kazuki nodded approvingly, "Good."

"She is a master of karate, judo, and taekwondo."

"You still do not trust me, huh?"

***

After driving for a few hours, Furochi and Kazuki in Birmingham City. Kazuki decided to rent a hotel room near a city park so that he can practice every day in the park.

The next day, Furochi left Kazuki alone. Furochi said he would pick up the assistant he was talking about.

Kazuki did not have a problem staying alone. Although he was only 18 years old, Kazuki was accustomed to living on his own. It was all thanks to the training provided by his family since childhood.

Three days later, Furochi comes back to bring a mature woman. From her face obviously, she is eastern asian. Kazuki estimates the age of about 27 or 28 years.

"Her name is Kim Song Ha, she is a yoga trainer and nutritionist specialist. She has helped several famous athletes in various sports. From now on she will help arrange your food and a schedule of your sport every day. With such conditions, your body will be ready when trial next month. " Furochi introduce Kim Song Ha.

Kim Song Ha extended her hand to Kazuki, "Introduce myself, my name is Kim Song Ha. You can call me Song Ha any time."

"My name is Kazuki Kazeshima, Greetings Song Ha-Neesan." Kazuki is not polite to call the older woman with the name immediately.

"Then I'll call you Namdongsaeng."

The call is usually used for closer people, but for Kazuki and Kim Song Ha have been in Europe for a while, they are more open-minded.
