Chapter 115 115: Onto The Next.
The president then lowered Haruma's wrist, and rested an arm over his shoulder, drawing him slightly closer, a quiet gesture of solidarity and trust that carried a subtle sense of reassurance.Haruma remained upright, a composed smile remained on his lips, while the president beside him stood just as at ease, his arm still draped over Haruma's shoulder in a steady, composed manner, while the hall echoed with applause and cheers that filled the entire space with a warm, resonating energy.
As the noise gradually faded, the president's grin widened, and he began, his voice clear and deliberate, "And at this moment, there are a few announcements I'd like to make."
He paused briefly before continuing, letting the anticipation build naturally in the room.
"The Tokyo Wolves have now officially signed a new sponsor…"
A short beat followed.
"For the next ten years, Blitz Airlines will be the official sponsors of the Tokyo Wolves."
The hall erupted once more, steady applause rising through the space in waves that seemed to ripple across the crowd. Smiles were spread across the crowd as people were exchanging low murmurs of approval and quiet excitement.
The president joined the applause for a moment before raising his hand slightly, letting the noise settle before continuing, waiting patiently as the room gradually quieted,
"Along with that, Blitz Airlines will be investing twenty million yen into the Wolves' youth academy."
The response was immediate, applause rising louder this time, now filled with a stronger sense of approval, threaded with a ripple of murmurs across the hall.
Haruma remained where he stood, composed, a faint smile still resting on his face as he stayed beside the president, who stood still for a moment before giving a small, satisfied nod, then continued, his expression calm and confident,
"And to make this occasion even more
special, we have with us the co-chairman, the daughter of the chairman of Blitz Airlines… Miss Ameha."
The crowd broke into applause once again, their attention shifting toward Ameha, who stood at a short distance with a proud, composed smile that reflected both confidence and quiet authority.
Beside her, Shuya had already stepped back a few paces, leaving the spotlight to her. He clapped lightly, a quiet smile on his face as he observed the moment with calm approval.
The applause carried through the hall, steady and warm. Haruma joined in as well, his expression soft as he clapped with the trophy balanced against his arm carefully, ensuring it remained secure.
Ameha's smile deepened as she moved forward, making her way toward the stairs with measured, confident steps.
She began ascending the steps. The president stepped ahead to meet her, offering his hand. She accepted, joining him on stage and taking her place on Haruma's other side, facing the crowd with a composed and balanced presence.
She let the applause settle for a moment before speaking, waiting for the room to quiet down fully.
"Thank you, everyone. It's an honor to be here."
A composed smile remained on her lips as she continued, her voice steady and clear,
"And as Mr. Nakamura mentioned, the importance of our youth cannot be overstated, they are the future of Japan."
She paused briefly, then went on, her tone steady and confident,
"And for that, I promise you this partnership will bring meaningful changes. No matter the effort, the time, or the cost, we will build the finest facilities, the strongest academy, and provide the very best for the future of Japanese football with full dedication and commitment."
The hall responded with a wave of sustained applause, the mood settling into quiet approval of the new partnership as the crowd absorbed her words with appreciation.
Ameha held her smile, poised as the applause gradually settled before continuing, her presence calm and commanding,
"And Kurogami, Jiho, Izaya, Kabuto and everyone else, have shown us just how promising that future truly is."
A quiet wave of approval moved through the hall, heads nodding as warm expressions spread across the crowd, while the young Wolves stood with visible pride and quiet satisfaction.
Her expression brightened slightly, her eyes reflecting a hint of warmth,
"And how could we forget the one, the hero of the night… our star boy."
She turned toward Haruma who met her gaze with a calm smile, then inclined his head in a respectful nod without breaking his composed demeanor.
Ameha turned her gaze toward the crowd.
"Honestly, I wasn't a big fan of watching football," she said, her tone calm, "but then I watched Haruma."
A soft wave of smiles spread through the hall. Kento and Minato exchanged a proud look, while Ryusei watched with a gentle expression. Haruma's mother observed quietly, her eyes softened with emotion as she quietly took in the moment.
Ameha continued, her voice steady,
"Watching him was something different. For the first time, I felt a spark of hope, like football in Japan isn't dead, not yet!" she added, her tone carrying a quiet conviction
Keeping her smile, she paused for a moment before continuing, allowing her words to settle in,
"For that, as a boss, and as a fan, I'd like to show him a token of my gratitude.
She gestured toward the far corner of the hall.
Every head turned, following her lead, but the space revealed only darkness, causing a wave of confusion to spread across the room, murmurs stirring. Even Haruma's expression shifted slightly, his brows drawing together.
Then, a sharp beam of light cut through the darkness.
The spotlight lit up, revealing a sleek, custom black Ferrari Roma, its polished surface catching the light in a quiet, commanding presence.
Every pair of eyes in the hall locked onto the vehicle, the stunned silence almost suffocating.
Haruma stood frozen, clearly taken aback, while Ameha's confident smile remained unchanged, calm, assured, in control.
The black Ferrari exuded an unmistakable presence, refined, commanding. Its glossy finish reflected the light with a deep, mirror-like sheen, accented by subtle gold detailing along the splitter, sides, and rims.
The sharp headlights and fluid lines gave it a poised, aerodynamic edge, as if it were built to cut through air itself.
"Ultimate Fenrir" was discreetly inscribed across the front, no bold logos, no excess, just a clean, premium mark that reinforced its exclusivity.
Haruma's mother remained still, eyes widened, lips pressed together in quiet disbelief.
Kurogami stood with widened eyes. Jiho and Kabuto were visibly stunned, their jaws slightly parted, while Izaya watched with a bright, almost exhilarated smile.
Ameha looked at the vehicle with clear pride before speaking again,
"This is the Ferrari Ultimate Fenrir."
She paused briefly, letting the weight of her words settle.
"A one off custom build. It runs on a fusion core hybrid system with four electric motors, delivering over 2,500 horsepower. It can reach 0 to 80 in under two seconds. And the body itself adapts while driving, almost as if it responds to the road. It doesn't feel like a machine…"
Her gaze returned to the car.
"…it feels like something, actually breathing."
She turned to Haruma.
"A small gift from Blitz Airlines to our rising star, Mr. Haruma."
The hall erupted in thunderous cheers.
Izaya, Raon, and Shuya clapped without restraint, their applause echoing through the space. Ryusei watched in quiet awe before joining in, his claps measured and steady. Kento broke into a wide grin, applauding with energy, while Ayane held onto her soft, composed smile.
Haruma's mother remained in stunned silence for a moment longer, then slowly began to clap, still trying to process what she had just witnessed.
Ameha stepped forward and stopped in front of Haruma. Looking at him for a moment, she then lifted a set of keys tied with a ribbon, holding them out toward him.
Haruma remained still, clearly in shock, his mind struggling to catch up with the moment.
He drew a quiet breath. A faint, restrained smile formed as he looked up at her.
"I…" he began, hesitating for a moment. "Thank you… but I can't."
"Take it, boy." Ameha cut in, her voice calm but firm. "It's a gift from your boss, for that performance, you've earned it."
She extended the keys a little further toward him.
Haruma hesitated for a moment, then,
slowly, he reached out and took them.
Ameha's smile widened. She stepped back and began to clap, softly at first.
Camera flashes ignited around them, capturing Haruma in the center of it all.
The president stood with a proud smile, clapping along with the applause that kept roaring without any restraint. He let it continue for a moment, then raised his voice, cutting cleanly through the noise.
"The second, and the biggest announcement of the night is…"
He gestured toward the wall of glory.
Behind the trophy display, the wall shifted and opened, revealing a large screen that lit up. On it, the official logo appeared.
U19 Asian Cup 2042.
A brief pause followed as the weight of the next line settled in
… Starting three months from now.
The applause surged to its peak, the hall erupting into powerful cheers as the crowd fed off the announcement, energy rising in waves.
For a moment, Haruma stood still, almost distant, lost in thought.
Then he turned his head.
The instant his eyes landed on the display, they snapped open, a sharp shift breaking through his composure.
