Beyond New Gen

I was at the Real Madrid training grounds, surrounded by legends , prodigies and geniuses .

Vini Jr. ran wild down the left then with the ,drills for him to get into space .

Vini.Jr:

Our last season playing together.

He says while coming back on his run to Benzema.

Benzema moved with effortless class, showing why he is the striker of Madrid for so long.

Benzema:

Yes the new talent will take over .I wonder how far they, will go since even Noa had not reached ,the level of messi and Ronaldo.

He says with a thoughtful,expression as he moves between cones.

Modrić flowed like poetry in motion,making passes with just 1 or 2 touches ,not allowing defence to get the ball.

Modrić:

Yes the goats have not been ,reached yet and I doubt they ever will be .

He expressed his thoughts out as he made a pass.

Nearby were Leonardo Luna making plays to command a tighter midfield for James Silva, to come in from the shadows like a , predator on the hunt for a perfect ,defence full of burning ambition.

Luna:

But it's getting more and more interesting over the years . I hope their is more challengers to come in the near future.

Then out of space for isco to get the pass from modrić and timed it well and

Isco spun with his signature grace but stopped by Silva. Like a predator out of the shadows.

Silva:

Well their not the only ones that seek ,greatness I want to be the greatest as well.

He says well dribbling the ball with fast steps and cuts infront of isco.

Isco:

Not many in the midfield can out shine the attacking front positions. But the way u play...

Silva:

Allows me to outshine defenders. is that what you were gonna say right .

As Silva passes isco with 4 touches,and 2 fients at high speed to disrupt balance.

while Ramos, Marcelo, and Varane added weight, experience, and fire to every drill. And practice formations and counters.

Kaiser:

Don't yall think this is a bit over kill ,against the 3 of you I look at Ramos, Marcelo and Varane .

They look at me with devilish grins, like how a predator looks at a young fawn.

Varane:

No your over thinking it .

Marcelo:

Yea we are just here to help is all .

Ramos :

Just come here and we will treat u like a striker.

I look at they expressions and a shiver goes, down my spine and I move the ball forward.

Rossi:

Yea good luck Mr rose . your gonna need it.

He says with a smile and I knew this would not be easy.

As Valentino Rossi, now more than just a wall , he had shown up to train with us — his presence alone added energy and chaos to the mix.

But the one who truly stood out was the man overseeing us all — Zinedine Zidane.

With a step over then a , reverse step over . I rabona tap the ball then, into a drag back to try and shake their balance.

Varane:

Your gonna need more then that. since Lavinho is at a much higher level, then u in dribbling . for u to try shake our centre of gravity .

As he moves closer to me.

It clicks in my head that now, I'm playing with masters and prodigys . it's a whole new level but that only means , I can evolve faster now with them to improve myself.

Marcelo:

Do u feel that, it's like he is a different person.

Then my eyes flash and codes are visible in my eyes . and my body redirects itself in a flawless position activated Flawless-eye .

With a purple hue on my eyes I see the, movements the steps the centre of gravity .shifting their breathing rythem and if I ,move fast enough I can break it all down.

Kaiser:

Let go of madness,for complete control.

and with now my body automatically, fixing my flaws and body positioning .

Back up right and swist feet and wider, stance like a fighter for better centre of gravity.

and I change my presence now different ,and I step forward with confidence of guided fate. and with a twist into 180 degrees then I use ,Godstride and I feel space shift and bend ,around me with gravity like a force helping me.

Right step push the ball out as my body,twists and as u turn my eyes glow. and I feel the world slow down and , I see the opening through Varane feets .and the ball I tapped go towards it , I push my legs and my toes ,calves, knees and thighs feel the force explode.

in two touches I blur, I tap the ball through varane legs with a clean nutmeg. as I twist out , I burst out in high speed in milliseconds.

I watch the positioning of Marcelo as Ramos hides his presence.using him and my mind calculates how to move , I shift Marcelo to come towards me, with a bait as I see his balance altered.

I meet the ball on the other side through Varane feets ,as I twist passed him with speed. and sambero flick it over Marcelo with my back twisting and facing him ,and with two touches with a hook up and kick over.

As I get passed Marcelo,I feel the greatest danger I ever have but my vision of behind me is blocked ,but I don't need to see to know what is comming.

I lean back twist 360 degree and leap on instinct ,mid air I see Ramos slide under me with a missed tackle. and the expression on his face was, a bit shocked at my movements.

I do a rainbow flick mid air as the milliseconds flash by as I feel myslef slowly fall down ,and with only one person left but i need to make it fast since ,Varane with reach me.

if i wait for the ball to land and my foot touches the , ground and I jump into vortex impact . and into a jump with a corkscrew twist at 540 spin , I kick the ball as it drops down into position mid air .

Boom

At hyper speed like a gun shot it moves fast to Rossi , his eyes glow amber for a brief second. then return to normal as the coded and runes leaves , his eyes and he rushes forward and with a knee.

the ball bounces to the ground and then , he jumps forward and catches , it reducing the speed and force.

Rossi:

Your moving like a machine, almost like if it was Noel Noa with your playstyle.

Ramos comes in from behind and jumps on my back .

Ramos:

I'm gonna like you kaiser you make defending more interesting.

I look at him as Varane and Marcelo come towards us as well.

Kaiser:

I will except your challenge I hope u, can try your best to kill me on the pitch.

Silva:

Maybe u should try me u won't get passed me that easy.

I look to see the figure of James Silva walking over with Luna , Isco and Modrić.

Kaiser:

They were not going all out, coz if they were I would have not have working legs right now.

I say with a smile on my face and Zedane comes over as he agrees.

Zedane:

I see you noticed. since they are masters ,so at their level u would not get passed, but with them u can learn to deal with other ,players on their level for up coming matches.

And the look on his face as we all circle around him to hear our training .

For the next two weeks, I studied under him. Not just drills and tactics, but the essence of football. He spoke to us about flow, how to feel it, how to lose yourself in it, and how to bend a match to your rhythm.

Zedane:

Their are different types of flow one based on the individual weapon,or their born gift or talent or some based .on their vision and each is unique but most, can have similar ones .

Like the differenceof predator-eye and meta-vision even tho it's not , flow but it makes your body move like ,you in a controlled flow state for your vision.

Kaiser:

And what about types of players.

I ask Zedane.

Zedane:

There are talented learners, geniuses, prodigies and hybrids.

Kaiser:

Can u explain to me each of them and why they are so different.

Zedane:

those who excel by analyzing, adapting, and logically processing information to improve their skills, often by observing and learning from geniuses. They are not naturally gifted with exceptional physical abilities like geniuses or prodigies but they can analyze those abilities and develop strategies to counter or even surpass them.

Kaiser (inner thoughts):

And that would be isagi.

Zedane:

And prodigies are thoese born with ,natural Gifts like loki supernatural speed. or Turan supernatural fast ,direction shifting at high speeds . and bunny supernatural jumping ,and Rossi body that allows him to reduce force .and they have gifts that can't be copied or replicated, and they use them to outshine the rest .

Zedane:

Then geniuses are players on pure high talent can compete with prodigies like Cavazos ,Luna, Mateo, Salah and Sae with them creating moves and techniques and playstyles amplifying their weapons to surpass the rest and compete with prodigies.

And then I look at Zedane waiting for the last one.

Zedane:

And finally Hybrids the rares of all of them like Messi, Ronaldo,Noa, buffon , neuer and even you kaiser . u have shown that u are a hybrid thoes of which ,that can be two combined of the previous ones .

Zedane:

and for u are a genius and a prodigy , even rare amoung hybrids. but players like you have unlimited potential to, reach levels others could never reach with you having. high agility and speed and,sharp mind with your higher. then most phycial body attributes which that, alone makes u a danger .

With a large grin on my face

Kaiser:

So I will surpass everone only player types ,like me can be a problem, in the future with time I can slowly beat everone.

Then came the deeper talks, the ones that left you thinking long after the day ended.

And it rings in my head as I walk to my room.

Flashback:

"There are different kinds of players," Zidane had said, standing in front of the full team in the quiet of the late evening. "There are the ones born with it, the naturally Gifted are Prodigies — like Loki. There are the geniuses who turn talent into art like Sae . Then the grinders — the talented learners who build it piece by piece Snuffy . Then there are hybrids… rare ones who walk two paths and make their own.

His eyes were on me. I didn't answer. I didn't need to. I will surpass all of them.

Zidane continued, "Fame… legacy… trophies. They come and go. But being remembered? Being eternal in football? That comes only when you break the limits everyone else accepts."

Flashback ends:

Those words stayed in me.

Then, after two intense weeks, the Champions League kicked off. And fate wasted no time throwing me into fire.

First match: Real Madrid vs AS Roma.

I glanced at the lineup sheet for Roma and felt a jolt in my chest. Their squad was solid — Olsen in goal, Fazio, Dada Silva, Florenzi, Kolarov in defense. De Rossi anchoring the midfield, flanked by Pastore and Perotti. Up front, Džeko — the ever-dangerous — led the line.

But it wasn't him that shook me.

It was the name at attacking midfielder.

Aloe Dybala.

I hadn't seen his name in years. A prodigy turned phantom. Two years ago, he broke through the ceiling — surpassing the New Gen 11 entirely. He chasing growth as a Master.

Now he was back , In my rader .

And alongside him was another name — Yin Akemi, a winger who tore through defenders like paper. I'd last seen him on the China National Team, where he lit up the Asian Cup. In Serie A, his name was now at the top of the goal-scoring charts.

Roma wasn't just dangerous — they were a storm waiting to hit.

Later that night, I went out to eat with James Silva and Valentino Rossi. We found a quiet spot, an Italian restaurant tucked between narrow streets. As we ordered, a figure caught my eye — a scar over his right eye, a cap pulled low to hide snowy white hair.

I stopped breathing for a second.

Bunny Iglesias.

on the New Gen 11 rankings.

He stood calmly, but there was darkness in his aura. Not just rivalry — bitterness. His gaze carried the weight of defeat, and a hunger to crush anyone who still smiled.

He walked up, and we stared each other down.

Bunny:

"Still glowing, huh?" he said coldly. "Let's see how long that lasts."

I didn't flinch.

Kaiser:

"Some lights don't burn out. They explode."

We exchanged more words, quiet and sharp. He hadn't forgotten anything. Neither had I.

Bunny:

U watched first hand what I did to your genius Itoshi Sae.

I walk up close with hands in my pockets.

Kaiser:

Your right but just like what Chris Prince is for Noel Noa. Your my number 2 in the rankings so don't forget your place Iglesias .

I say this as Flawless-eye calm and robotic expression and alof tone. As I hold up his shirt and twist it up,in my fist and we stare into each others eyes.

Bunny:

Not only do I want to take your spot now. But I want to bring you all the way, to the bottom and out the new gen ranking ,like a forgotten prodigy.

With darkness in his eyes like he would sell ,his soul if he needs to keep his promise.

And with Rossi and Silva step in to split us up.

Rossi and Silva:

You both can settle this in the champions league.

After our tense talk, he left — like a storm that hadn't started yet.

Just as I tried to relax, I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I turned — and froze again.

Angelina.

Her gaze was sharp, her arms folded. She looked stunning, but angry — probably because I hadn't spoken to her in weeks. Maybe more. I'd been drowning in training, new teammates, flights, and meetings. But that wasn't an excuse i she would except.

Kaiser

"Angelina,"

I said carefully,

Kaiser:

"I've been meaning to call. I've just been... overwhelmed."

Her glare didn't fade, not right away. But I explained everything — the training my debut with Real Madrid. That part shocked her.

She blinked in disbelief, then slowly sat at our table.

Eventually, she smiled.

Angelina:

So you play for Real now like my father did.

With a smile on my face as I get a look from James.

Kaiser:

Yes and I hope to have the greatest legacy for Real Madrid.

And football .

Silva:

I second that I would want people to remember me, when they think or say defensive midfielder.

Rossi:

I want to reach a level even buffon and Neuer have not yet .

We all ate together. For a moment, it felt like time paused.

But my thoughts drifted to the past. The day it all changed.

I remembered standing on the field — the Under-15 match for Borussia Dortmund. I was on fire that day, tearing through defenses. But what stuck with me wasn't the goals I scored.

It was who was in the crowd.

Aloe Dybala.

Watching. Studying. Waiting.

That day I knew — one day, I'd face him. One day, we'd clash.

Now, that day was just two sunrises away .
