The main court of the training center was already buzzing with activity when everyone gathered in the center. Victoria stood in front of the group, a folder under her arm, Dahlia right behind her, a tablet already turned on.
"Alright," Victoria said. "Here's how today's going to go. First part: individual tests, by stations. The staff will evaluate your physical and technical qualities one by one. Second part: application matches, in small mixed teams, to see how you function together. By the end of the day, we'll have the five starters for the next match."
A murmur went through the group, an electric tension settling in instantly.
"And me," Nash added, stepping up next to Victoria, "I won't be playing the application matches. So it's fair for everyone."
Kai let out a small laugh.
"Oh come on, after all this time we've been asking you to train with us..."
"Just this once," Nash answered, amused. "And we'll have time either way. Alright, let's start."
