After the VEG reunion from The Waves this year was announced, everyone returned to their respective training dorms. Archie went back into his room, he immediately laid himself on the bed. He felt that after this his life would completely change.
I have to what now? He muttered earlier. He still did not think he would soon follow VEG, a competition he had longed for.
“I've been waiting for this for years, but why now even afraid ya?” he said while looking at the paper he had stuck on the wall next to his bed, saying One day, I will join VEG! Promise.
Meanwhile, in the male dorm room…
Aro opened the door of his room which he had not been in for a long time. The room was still unchanged, even the digital equipment and items for him to train and compete were still neatly arranged on the table. Two years ago, he left the room for injury treatment and personal training for himself. He asked that his room be cleaned only if there was dust. Without changing all the positions in his room.
“For a long time no see,” he said to his room.
Aro sat on the bed while slipping his legs. He felt his calf which two years ago was still injured. He felt sure, but also scared. Two years ago, he suffered a defeat due to getting a shot from a robot that turned out the bullet attacked the calf.
At that time everyone thought maybe, when out of VEG and back in the real world, the state of his feet would be fine. But apparently not. After exiting the Evopass room, Aro fell and could not walk, so the medical took him in a wheelchair.
But all that was over, even though he felt that in the future it would be more difficult, Aro still tried to be sure of himself. Of course he will try to be a good Group chairman for the other three participants.
The last time he played two years ago for an individual match, from The Waves team, only he made it to the semifinals.

Aro turned on his monitor which was located on his bedroom desk. He looked at the profiles of the three participants who would go with him for the top 15 selection. He saw footage of Liam's match last year and tried to analyse his movements. Aro used to be a peer mentor to Liam a few years ago.
He recorded a few things in his notebook. The advantages and disadvantages when Liam competed in the last year, were analyzed very carefully by Aro. The day was getting late, but he still did not sleep and saw the status records of the other two participants.
Ann followed VEG two years ago, just like her. It's just that his steps stopped in the round of selection of the last 15. Ann's ability in the data processing section at that time was quite good. The data entered is accurate enough to open a variety of challenges at that time. Only, during the gathering of the top 15, his steps stopped.
But a few days later, Ann's abilities were taken into account. One of the top 15 ranked participants resigned, so Ann could follow the match. In a simulation test from The Waves and the results of the match in Grade B, it turned out to bring its ranking to pass the selection stage. Ann was included in VEG that year, but resigned due to a technical glitch. It seems that this is what happened to the previous participants who resigned.
Lastly, Aro looked at the profile of the last participant, Archie. While opening his ranking status record, Aro was completely shocked. All of Archie's ranks were not stable. As Archie said during the speech earlier, he had even been at the very last rank. His match at Grade B also never got a satisfactory result.
“Why did Mr Kelvin choose him? His abilities and rank were also far from high. Does this child have anyone in?” said Aro while eating his snacks.
“But this child is also from the family usually only, it seems there is also no one in it,” he continued.
He saw a clock on the wall of his room. The day had almost changed, Aro chose to rest this time. He has to get together and train with the three participants tomorrow.

The alarm in room 205 reads, Archie as the occupant of the room also presses the off button. He immediately prepared with special clothes The Waves for training. Archie looks like a sleep-deprived person, because indeed he could not sleep for the night.
After he finished preparing, Archie walked out of his room and sat down in the waiting room. Today there was training with other participants, he got such a message from Alpha on his phone.
The place was still quiet, only Archie was sitting there. Concerns still filled his mind, until several members of The Waves passed through the waiting room and greeted him.
“Hei Archie!” said Delaney who accidentally saw Archie in the waiting room.
“Oh, hi.”
“Why wait here? Tumben once, usually you wake up during the day,” said Delaney with astonishment.
“There is no need to be too honest, later to the astonishment of other participants,” whispered Archie.
“Oh... You are waiting for another one huh?” delaney asked who was replied by a nod by Archie.
“Yaudah, passion for training! You hope the boys of Group F know, one of them is me.”
Archie nodded again with a smile, then Delaney left Archie in the waiting room. Archie is from Group F The Waves which contains members from 31-40 national rankings. It can be said that it is quite difficult to be able to penetrate the big class matches at VEG.
Delaney's ranking was higher than Archie's, he was ranked 32nd. But Archie still remains confused, why the chosen one is himself. Shortly after, Archie sees Liam from a distance walking towards him.
Liam who saw Archie smiling greeted him. Archie returned that smile with a little awkwardness.
“Yo, morning new entrant,” he said with a slightly nosy look.
“Eh, Morning, Sister.”
“We'll wait for Ann for a while, then go straight to the front of the building. He said Aro brother wait there later,” said Liam.
“Oh, ready, Brother,” replied Archie who tried to answer as politely as possible.
In The Waves, from his juniors try as courteously as possible to his seniors. There was indeed a class between his seniors and juniors, only there was no such thing as seniority or insane respect from these two levels. Archie and Liam talk to each other while waiting for Ann. A few minutes later the awaited one came. Ann who was seen running from a distance looked exhausted.
“Oh my goodness, sorry so wait,” he said after arriving in the waiting room.
“Papa, Brother,” replied Archie.
“Ayo just go to the field, afraid Kak Aro already waiting,” said Liam.
