(S24) - PT 4 - Trial by Fire

[Jiggly_333]

Mai Fukushuu’s big moment was probably that first workout when she arrived at the NSFL headquarters. With no background and no anything to prove that she was a football player, she was thrown out onto a training field and made to run as many drills that the media could think of. Because she didn’t respond to English, there were some who didn’t think she did speak English, so she heard some various negative things said about her during this time.
Since then, I guess every season has sort of been a trial by fire. When she was sent to London on waivers, she was given no playing time and no promise of playing time. She was expected to sit on the bench as the team went on a playoff run. In her first season in the DSFL, after being drafted incredibly late, Mai was placed at third in the depth chart with no real chance at touches. And after once again being drafted incredibly late Mai expected another season of riding the bench in the DSFL, only to be called up to the ISFL as a true rookie to play as the RB2 in a committee. Really, every step of the way has been unexpected and a challenge, but Mai has consistently taken it with no reaction.
