Meanwhile, Froy and Ichihoshi head to meet Bernard with the intention of confronting him about what happened to the French team. On the way, Froy tells Ichihoshi about his childhood and how close he and his brother used to be, with Bernard teaching him soccer and playing with him, while their mother never paid any attention to Froy. It's revealed that Bernard's disposition changed after their father's death, when he took his place at the head of the Orion Foundation.
To the boys' surprise, Bernard denies any involvement with the matter regarding the French team, making Froy suspect that "that person" is responsible instead. At the time, Ichihoshi does not know who he's referring to, and Froy decides to not reveal it to him until he can confirm his suspicions. Before leaving, Bernard also informs them that all of the Brazilian team are disciples of Orion, and that he's personally in charge of them.
Back to the Inazuma Japan quarters, Ichihoshi reveals to the others what he found out, and Zhao Jinyun cautions the team to be careful with their next opponents, because in addition to their affiliation with Orion they are also capable players above the level of any other team faced until that moment.
