"We haven't talked in a long time."

Kazuki looked at the GM who was talking. Together with Southampton this season. Kazuki had done his best. He almost consistently scored goals in every match where Kazuki played, either as a starter or a substitute.

Kazuki said sarcastically, "Lately [Dream Training] is getting more and more useless, what can I talk to you about?" The closer you get to the top, the harder it was to become stronger. This was what made the current Kazuki feel no progress at all by training in [Dream Training].

"At least if you train here, it will be easier for you to maintain your performance at peak condition. Besides, don't you want to hear what I have to say?" asked the GM with a smile.

Kazuki narrowed his eyes and asked, "I want to hear it, tell me."

"Now [Dream Training] has a new feature. This feature is called, Level up with your friend. You can appoint 5 soccer players to train with you here. First, [Dream Training] will copy 5 player data in real time, then [Training] Dream] will run AI based on the data of these 5 players.

That AI will train with you here. AI can also grow in all aspects just like you. Of course, the growth speed aspect is only half your growth speed. Then after that, we will send the AI ​​data to the original player you appointed. As a result, these players will unconsciously improve in terms of ability.

You can change the player you appoint every day. That's the latest feature of [Dream Training], how?"

Kazuki's eyes lit up. This feature could improve other players. Indirectly, Kazuki could improve the Japanese national team players. This could make the Japanese national team stronger as a whole. Of course there was also Southampton, but unlike the Japanese national team, the priority of improving Southampton's players was lower than the Japanese national team.

First, there was no guarantee the player he was improved on won't move away from Southampton mid-season. Second, the Japanese national team will always be with Kazuki while Southampton won't. Of course, this feature was also important for Kazuki to ensure that Southampton will be able to win the Premier League.

However, for the sake of the Japanese national team, Kazuki will only provide a quota of 1 player out of 5 players he appointed for Southampton. Then, he will also replace the Southampton player he appointed every night.

"Excellent feature. I take my word for it, [Dream Training] is really useful. However, GM, are players training here really not going to notice any oddities?"

GM shook his head, "Their growth will not be as fast as yours, furthermore, they will probably only find their daily training effective."

Kazuki's new features make him even more confident in his pursuit of the 2012/2013 Premier League championship. Of course, even using this feature, it doesn't mean Southampton will suddenly become a very strong team. However, there are many aspects that determine the strength of a team.

But with this feature, Southampton's progressives will definitely be better. Mature players will be able to maintain their better form, while younger players will find it easier to reach their best state. Kazuki hoped this feature would help him in winning more championships.. Until now on the senior stage, Kazuki had not achieved any championship despite having performed well.
