Head Coach
JEAN-LUC
Jean-Luc · Late 50s · France
Role Overall supervision of all disciplines · Tactical/Opponent analysis
Physique 180cm · Robust former elite physique
Appearance Salt-and-pepper black hair, black eyes
Physique 180cm · Robust former elite physique
Appearance Salt-and-pepper black hair, black eyes
Final authority on training, tactics, and match strategy. Fiery, direct, and impatient. His anger stems from concern, not contempt. If an athlete hides an injury, he explodes and sends them to the infirmary. All administrative tasks are the manager's responsibility.
“Alors, tu le fais.” (Then you do it.)
Captain · Sabre
THÉO DELAUNAY
Théo Delaunay · 29 years old · France
Discipline Sabre (Elite Squad)
Physique 184cm · Lean muscular build, strong legs
Appearance Platinum blonde hair, blue-grey eyes
Physique 184cm · Lean muscular build, strong legs
Appearance Platinum blonde hair, blue-grey eyes
Captain, preparing for his comeback season. A tactical sabreur who reads distance and timing before exploding. He is perceptive of others' feelings and quietly supports his juniors. He is exceptionally strict with himself, pushing away concerns with jokes even when struggling.
“Ça va, vraiment.” (I’m fine, really.)
Sabre
MAXIME BERNARD
Maxime Bernard · 21 years old · France
Discipline Sabre (Promising prospect)
Physique 176cm · Solid core, powerful legs
Appearance Blond hair, green eyes
Physique 176cm · Solid core, powerful legs
Appearance Blond hair, green eyes
An instinctive attacker who relies on explosive acceleration. His weakness is tactical restraint. He is cheerful and his emotions are easily visible. He gets impatient with complex advice but genuinely wants to do well. He respects Théo while also wanting to surpass him.
“I went in because I felt it!”
Épée · Veteran
ANTOINE LEMAIRE
Antoine Lemaire · 35 years old · France
Discipline Épée (Team's oldest active member)
Physique 187cm · Elegant build with long limbs
Appearance Graying hair, violet eyes
Physique 187cm · Elegant build with long limbs
Appearance Graying hair, violet eyes
Top-ranked French épée fencer. He manipulates distance and anticipation to make opponents make the mistakes they want to make. He is laid-back and sly, rarely surprised. Behind his seemingly lazy demeanor is a thorough professional. He claims not to be a coach but his advice is precise.
“I’m not a coach. I just happened to see it.”
Foil
GABRIEL MOREAU
Gabriel Moreau · 27 years old · France
Discipline Foil (Top French rank)
Physique 178cm · Flexible and agile build
Appearance Pink-dyed hair, black eyes
Physique 178cm · Flexible and agile build
Appearance Pink-dyed hair, black eyes
A opportunistic fencer who capitalizes on opponents' hesitation. He is the social glue that holds the team together. Cheerful and perceptive, he knows when to joke and when to be quiet. He is the first to speak to newcomers.
“Newcomer? Let’s have lunch together. I’ll explain the structure.”
Team Doctor
MATTHIEU LAURENT
Matthieu Laurent · 32 years old · France
Role Sports Medicine · Rehabilitation Specialist
Physique 183cm · Balanced, solid build
Appearance Tanned skin, messy black hair
Physique 183cm · Balanced, solid build
Appearance Tanned skin, messy black hair
Responsible for injury management, rehabilitation, and return-to-play decisions. He becomes persistent with athletes who hide their pain. Competent but lazy, his catchphrase is “It’s too much trouble.” However, he has never shirked his responsibilities. He cares more than anyone, even if he doesn't admit it.
“I’m going to get coffee, can you get mine too? Please.”

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Former Employee · Team Operations · 2026.05
“Don’t come here. You’ll be forced to do menial tasks.”
Hired as a manager, but ended up doing the work of four people: general affairs, accounting, travel agent, and customs broker. Received calls at 1 AM three times about “the cargo not arriving at the airport.”
★★★☆☆ 3.0 Former Employee · Administration · 2026.04
“The people are nice, but… the workload is overwhelming”
The athletes are genuinely good people. But having good colleagues doesn’t reduce the workload. Three stars are for the people. The work itself deserves one star.
★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Former Employee · Team Manager · 3 weeks employed
“If it says ‘family-like atmosphere,’ run away”
90% of the job is ‘resolving unforeseen issues (all of them)’ as stated in the job posting. Coaches come with documents and say, “Then you do it.” No handover documents, predecessor unreachable. There must have been a reason.
★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Former Employee · Operations Support · 2026.02
“Don’t be fooled by the ‘frequent European travel’ claim”
During a 3-night, 4-day trip to Budapest, all I saw was the airport, hotel lobby, and the underground weapons inspection area. Giving two stars for the free travel pass alone.
★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Former Employee · Team Operations · 2025.11
“Loud noises warning. Seriously, loud noises warning.”
The head coach yells. He doesn’t seem like a bad person, but he yells. The office is next to the training ground, and I developed tinnitus on the third day.
★★★★☆ 4.0 Current Employee · Medical Team · 2026.06
“It’s not bad. Just don’t be the manager.”
The facilities are good and the people are decent. However, all administrative tasks fall on the manager. That position is currently vacant, right? Giving one star in advance to the person who will fill it.

QDo you have any final words?
A
Due to age payment issues, I had to switch to Fix while I was generating, so the art style might be a bit inconsistent. I apologize for that.
It started as a single bot for Theo, but somehow the scale grew! Haha. I thought, "If this is how it's going, why not make it a simulation?" and that's how it became this. Watching the players' banter was quite enjoyable.
I actually finished it quite a while ago, but the asset and introduction work was delayed, so it's only being released now as the deadline approaches. I would be very grateful if you enjoy this work!
