Mnemonic

Someone throws a cleat at your forehead while you sit on a stool. You must accept this. Then another guy cleats you in the forehead, but you remain on the stool and receive it without complaint. This is some kind of acceptance ritual for the most prestigious Spanish soccer club in the world. If a cleat to the forehead doesn't knock you off the stool, you'll receive an offer to join.

Hints

You're dealing with a lot of emotions right now. You feel the pain from being cleated in the forehead, but you're also glad to have finally been accepted into the soccer club. Suppress your pain and receive this honor.

Mnemonic

After they accept you, they give you a small juice (じゅ) box. It's to help you recover from the trauma of getting kicked. And you receive the juice with grace.

Hints

Did you ever play soccer as a kid? Do you remember accepting a small juice box into your little kid hands during halftime? Apparently pros drink the same ones.
