The Copy Cat (old version)

Episode 4: A New and Old Self

I was walking to Raimon, alone. In honesty I didn't wanna walk with anyone, except with my brother, Koujirou, and Kuroi. I mean, I'd walk with Gouenji, but after the incident with Yuuka, I bothered talking to the guy.

By the time I reached the gates of Raimon, I almost dropped my bag.

"KUROI?!?!"

Kuroi just looked at me with a serious expression. With that expression, I can tell that something must be wrong. "Kuroi, what's the matter?" I asked.

"It's the Commander. Now I know why he asked you and Domon to spy on Raimon, he even asked Raimon's current coach to spy on them in order to get rid of you guys!" He said. What? There's no way he would do that... would he? Then I again, did hear him talking to the coach before I went home yesterday... but getting rid of Raimon?

"That's a little bit to extreme, Kuroi." I said, getting past him. 

He grabbed my shoulders, making me face him. "Believe me! I'm not joking! And I heard that the team is gonna replace you---"

I didn't need to hear what he was about to say. I slapped his hands off my shoulders and just continued walking inside Raimon. As I entered, Endou ran ahead of me. I sweat dropped. "Energetic... as usual..." I muttered.

---------------------------

It was already practice, and I was inside the soccer club along with the others. After the motivational shout of enthusiasm from Endou, everyone else got all hyped up for the Football Frontier.

"So, who's our opponent?" Kazemaru asked.

"Our opponent is..."

Everyone, including me, was waiting in anticipation of who our opponent was.

"I don't know!"

I mentally sweat dropped. 'How can he be so hyped even though he doesn't know who their fighting against...'

"Nosei Jr. High."

We saw Raimon's coach entered in the club room. "If I remember correctly, Nosei Jr. High was..."

"The team that played against Teikoku in the last year's district match." Haruna said, cutting him off.

"Awesome! We're fighting against a strong team like them?!" Endou asked, enthusiasm being released in his voice.

"We don't want to be eliminated from the first round by a large margin after all." Their coach said. Large margin? I don't get it. "Also..." 

Their coach moved aside, revealing Asuka.

"Hey, I'm Domon Asuka!" He introduced. "I'd like to be a defender, just so you know. Oh, and I brought a friend with me. 

As if on cue, Kuroi popped in. "I'm Genda Kuroi, age 12 and my position is midfielder and goalkeeper." He introduced. Raimon's coach looked at the both of them saying, "You show interest in the strangest things. Enrolling in here especially just to join a weak soccer team." 

After that he left. Turns out that Kino and Asuka knew each other since they were classmates. Soon after, Asuka told about Nosei Jr. High's strength in mid-air. Even Gouenji had witnessed this since he played against them before.

"A new hissatsu technique!" Endou said, raising his fist in the air. "Let's create a new hissatsu technique! One that'll let us control the skies!"

'Control the skies, eh?'

-----------------------

After explaining who the "Legendary Inazuma Eleven" were, everyone got hyped up after hearing Furakabu's story. Endou Daisuke, grandfather of Endou Mamoru was their coach back then. Speaking of which, my dad said he knew him and they got along pretty well, until he just suddenly disappeared.
