To Shed Some Doubt

[koori_no_king]

I've heard quite enough complaints from everyone concerning the results about sponsorships. Namely, it seems nobody was picked. While my own results were indeed the same, unlike everyone else, I'm not about to start despairing. And why? I'm rather inclined not to believe these results, that's why

Well, it would be quite absurd if no one here was selected, since we have talented players like Echizen, you, Sanada etc over here. National level and even higher.

But why would they lie?

[koori_no_king]

Exactly. Which is why I just don't understand why these people would believe the negative results in the first place.

Who knows? Because the camp directors are sadistic bastards, perhaps?

Private to Shiraishi

How are you doing, anyway?

[shiraishi_k]

I guess it's a method of not hurting themselves? I mean, if you just silently accept it, then you won't be disappointed if it really is the truth and if it's a lie, then it's a good suprise?

Private to Atobe
I'm fine.

[koori_no_king]

You'd think someone with Echizen's ego would not worry about such things. I half expected him to start raging about inaccurate results, but no. I'm almost disappointed.

Private to Shiraishi

Would you say otherwise no matter what the situation?

[petenshi_sama]

Everyone knows you pulled strings to get in. There's no need to repeat the obvious.

[koori_no_king]

Again, I have no need for that. Just because I know the decisions doesn't mean I influenced them.

[petenshi_sama]

Just because you say it doesn't mean you didn't do it.

[koori_no_king]

Just because you say it doesn't mean I did.

[emperorsanada]

I wasn't complaining, Atobe.

[koori_no_king]

I know you weren't. You weren't saying anything, the perfect stoic fool you are.

[emperorsanada]

Hn.

[koori_no_king]

Proving me right, I see.

I bet you were thinking something like, "I won't say anything about this, because if my skills weren't enough, I only have myself to blame and complaining won't change a thing. I'll just be quiet and try harder and get signed on next year."

[emperorsanada]

... Or despairing.

[koori_no_king]

But worrying?

[emperorsanada]

There are other opportunities.

[koori_no_king]

Doesn't mean you should just sit back and accept when you're told you missed an opportunity you could not have missed.
