At the Selezione Milano trial, Demien must prove he belongs among the academy rejects. The system triggers a Speed Demon mission, forcing him to push his newly upgraded physical limits. Demien explodes in the forty-meter sprint, clocking an unbelievable four point eight seconds on his final attempt. This physical revelation stuns the watching scouts, particularly the Atalanta representative in the navy jacket who immediately calls his club's director. In the subsequent six-versus-six match, Demien dominates, scoring twice and assisting twice to orchestrate a seven-to-nothing blowout. His veteran intelligence shines through his teenage body as he dictates the tempo, earning him a two-week trial at Atalanta's elite Zingonia facility. He departs Florence alongside Luca Bianchi, a wealthy midfielder who signs with Demien's agent, Marco Benetti. The stage is set for a brutal integration into one of Italy's most prestigious youth setups, where established players are waiting to protect their territory.

Arriving at Zingonia, Demien faces immediate hostility from the established U23 players, especially the captain Riccardo. During the friendly match against Como, Coach Rossi starts Demien in central midfield, relegating Riccardo to the bench. Demien immediately impacts the game, delivering a sixty-yard diagonal switch to Carlos that leads to the opening goal, followed by a threaded through ball to Parisi for the second. In the second half, Como's coach orders a ruthless double-team on Demien, instructing his midfielders to pull shirts and commit tactical fouls. Instead of panicking, Demien uses his veteran composure to play quick one-touch passes and make dummy runs, dragging defenders away to create space for Luca Bianchi's explosive assist. The match ends in a three-nil victory, forcing Riccardo to show grudging respect and drawing the attention of first-team manager Gian Piero Gasperini, who demands Demien's full file.

Before the next friendly, Demien uses his accumulated points to pull a Black Pack, triggering a massive stat jump to seventy-one overall and unlocking the epic Marseille Roulette technique. The next match is a highly charged friendly against Fiorentina, the club that rejected him. In the tunnel, Demien is confronted by Adriano Ventresca, the wonderkid teammate who betrayed him by sleeping with his girlfriend. Adriano smirks and scores an early goal to put Fiorentina ahead, but Demien channels his rage into controlled aggression. He scores a stunning twenty-five-yard equalizer and orchestrates a thrilling three-three comeback. His performance in front of Gasperini, his mother, and his ex-girlfriend Elena proves he has completely outgrown his past. Gasperini is so impressed that he personally advocates for Demien to receive a first-team contract, setting up a rapid promotion to the senior squad just as the Serie A season kicks off.

Demien signs his first professional contract with Atalanta and secures a Nike sponsorship deal brokered by Luca's sister, Sophia. His big moment arrives on opening day against Sampdoria. When midfielder Ederson suffers a fractured fibula in the thirty-eighth minute, Gasperini throws Demien into the Serie A fire. The system issues an urgent Serie A Baptism mission. Demien enters the pitch and instantly adapts to the relentless pace of top-flight football, providing a crucial assist to Lookman. In the final minutes, he seals the victory with an audacious rainbow flick over defender Nuytinck, firing the ball past the keeper to secure a debut goal. His performance goes viral across Europe, exploding his social media presence and cementing his status as Italy's newest sensation, but the sudden fame brings immense pressure as the next match looms at the historic San Siro against Milan.
