Chapter 16 – New Home

"Okay, now, I will tell you what your job will be. There are four teams in this office. Team 1 and Team 2. Team 1 will be working in the office dealing with the documents while Team 2, 3, and 4 will be dealing with the players directly," Daisy started.

"All of you will be separated into Teams 2, 3, and 4. You will be dealing with the reserve players for the Under 20 Team. All the players in this team are reserve players. If they want to get into the main team, they need to work hard and show their worth during training," Daisy started explaining.

"As an assistant, your job will be assisting them in their training. It can be anything from making food or fetching their belonging. Well, you will be doing odd jobs. Your mission is to lessen the burden carried by the players," Daisy spoke.

"However, there is a limit. If they ask you to do something unreasonable for example, asking for a kiss, beating you, or any other harassment and violence, you can report them to me. I will teach them a lesson," Daisy spoke in a serious tone.

"Melina, this is directed to you. I can see that you may be the pushover type. If I am wrong, I apologize but make sure you report to me if they dare do something like that," Daisy spoke to Melina sternly and Melina nodded heavily.

"Even so, this kind of case is rare. The reserve players are usually well mannered. They will not dare to cause trouble or they will lose their chance to enter the main team… like forever. They will be fired," Daisy added.

"Unless they have some connection to powerful people like the higher-ups or any other powerful people for example politicians, they will not cause many problems," Daisy added.

"You will not see them today because they are not yet here. The new and old reserve players will join the company back on Spring 7th. So, for now, you will be working in the office assisting your seniors dealing with the documents," Daisy continued.

"Melina will be in Team 2, Andy in Team 3, and Berry with Team 4. They are Team 2," Daisy pointed at a group of staff in the office. The staff saw Melina and they waved at her.

"Team 3," Daisy pointed to the corner of the office. Team 3 glanced at Andy and continued with their work. Andy frowned.

"Team 4," Daisy pointed at another corner. The staff gave a thumbs up at Berry.

"From your documents, all three of you agree to move to the company's residence. So, for today, you will get a half day break. Use this time to move to your new home," Daisy spoke. Melina, Andy, and Berry were thankful.

"Also, you can see our attires, right," Daisy continued. "No need to wear formal clothes. Those neckties, slacks, and that thick suit don't wear them tomorrow. Just wear any comfortable clothes. Even sports clothes are fine but not pajamas," Daisy pointed at Melina, Andy, and Berry's clothes that looked stuffy and uncomfortable.

"Unless you are ordered to wear one, just wear comfortably," Daisy added.

*Clap*

Daisy clapped her hand once. "Okay, you can go to your team and your seniors will teach you what you need to do," Daisy ordered them to start working.

Berry went to Team 4's area and introduced himself to the team. The Team Leader was Kenny, a 30 years old man with a fit body. Kenny was also the coach for the reserve players. Not only Kenny but the Team Leader from Team 2 and Team 3 were coaches too.

There was five other staff on Team 4 excluding Berry. Two of them were the second and third coach and the other three were Senior Assistants. Berry was the only Junior Assistant on the team.

Kenny and the two other coaches were responsible for maintaining the player's fitness as well as training them in-game. Since they were the coaches for the reserve players, they were also responsible for evaluating the players to see if they were good enough to join the main teams.

Berry also started learning about his job and all he did was assisting the other assistants in the team. Also, their real jobs were with the players and since none of them were available, Berry was quite free.

A few hours later, Daisy allowed Berry, Melina, and Andy to clock off. Berry went back home and told his parents that he would be moving that day. Since they were not home, Berry promised to meet them at the weekend.

Since Berry had started packing a day ago, he just took them and took the train to the Thunder Tiger Company Apartment. Berry arrived at the company and took a different route to the side of the main building where the apartment was located.

Berry was assigned to Block B, 25th floor, apartment no 2507, Room 3. Berry got inside Block B, gave his work ID to the guard, and was allowed into the building. He took the elevator to the 25th floor and searched for apartment no 2507.

Berry stood in front of the door and looked at the screen beside the door. There were three names on the screen including his name. It was a shared house and these two names would be Berry's housemates. However, all of the names were in black meaning they were not inside.

Moreover, Berry recognized all of the names. They were his seniors in the U20 Reserve Team. However, none of them were on the same team as him.

The first name on the screen was Hardy. He was 23 years old and from Team 2. He was not an assistant but a second coach. He was an average man and there was nothing special about him.

The second name was Pierre. He was 22 years old and a Senior Assistant from Team 1. He was a flower boy and have a lot of admirers from the girls in the team. He had the appearance but sadly was not talented in games and thus, he was an assistant.

Berry scanned the house key on the screen and his name lighted up. Berry got inside and gasped in surprise.

"Is this a house for their employees?" Berry was shocked. The living room was quite massive with an expensive sofa, massive television, beautiful decorations, and many more. With one look, it was similar to an apartment owns by the rich.

"They treat their employees well," Berry mumbled in shock. He looked around and saw his room. Berry got in and was once again surprised. It was fully furnished with a single bed, a cupboard, a study desk with the desktop computer, and also at the corner of the room was a VR Capsule.

Not only that but the room had a bathroom too.

Other than that, the room was spacious and Berry could add a sofa and any other furniture inside. Berry put his luggage on the floor and sat on the bed. He bounced his body on the mattress a bit and smiled.

"This bed is comfortable," Berry was quite happy with the bed. He glanced around the room for a few minutes and started unpacking. Berry only bring his clothes and thus, it did not take him long to unpack.

After he was done, Berry opened the window and enjoyed the afternoon breeze for a few minutes. Then, he glanced at the VR Capsule.

"I should continue playing the game," Berry mumbled.

Berry asked about the game account to his seniors in the team and they said it was not needed. They could play the game but no need to inform the team about it.

If they wanted, they could assist the players in the game but the players were professional and assistants like them would not be as good to assist them in the game. So, they did not need to worry about that.

Even so, Berry decided to continue playing the game because he wanted to have more knowledge about the game. He may not be able to do much but it was better than not trying at all.

"I have a lot of time before the seniors are off work. I should play the game for a bit," Berry decided to play the game until the senior got home.

Berry turned on the capsule and decided to connect it to his phone. If he got a message or a phone call, he would be able to answer them while playing the game. After he set that up, Berry entered the game.

The same question was asked similar to when he used Bendy's capsule. After that, Berry appeared at the inn he last logged out. Berry got out of the inn and decided to finish the missions he accepted before.

However, when he walked out of the inn, the players nearby glanced and stared at him as if he was an animal in a zoo. Berry stopped in his track and remembered that he was now popular for a not-so-pleasant reason.

"…I should buy something to cover my face," Berry decided to buy a mask. He did not like all the attention. Berry found an equipment store and bought a simple round-shaped white mask.

The mask had no stats and thus, Berry wore it without equipping it in the equipment menu. Berry got out of the store and he was still stared at by the players because he could not block his in-game name.

Even so, since Berry had covered his face, they would slowly forget his face. Even if they did not forget it, they will not be able to recognize Berry in real life because his in-game face was slightly different than his real-life face.

In the game, Berry's face was without his glasses and his hair was combed backward. In real life, Berry wore glasses and his hair covered his forehead. He looked different in the two settings.

"Let's continue the missions," Berry went to the field to complete the mission.
