Manabu POV
So Shiba subbed in, huh...
???: "So, are you enjoying the match, Horikita kun?"
The person beside me was none other than Yotsuba Maya and Akashi Tsukasa.
Manabu: "Well, I do enjoy this match. Although I'm suprised you took me all the way here just to watch a football match."
Akashi: "Why no? you're on a holiday anyways. Besides, Maya san also wanted to see this."
Maya: "He's right, Horikita kun. It's not like we're gonna get caught anyways."
Manabu: "Well if we indeed got caught it's all on you both."
Maya: "Fufufu, meanie."
Akashi: "The game level will be increased."
Kiyotaka POV
Now that Tatsuya has joined in, the situation will change once more.
Let's see...how will he play against us...
Tatsuya is a in a striker position, same as Koenji, since they changed the strategy into 4-4-2.
But since Koenji is in a better position than Tatsuya, Yagami will undoubtedly pass to him.
I better be careful for the passes to Koenji.
Yagami: "Here."
Ah...it's for Tatsuya?
Tatsuya: "Nice." Tatsuya trapped the pass.
Shit, and I already went to Koenji's direction.
Kiriyama: "I won't let you past me, Shiba."
Hirata: "I'll stop you, Shiba kun."
Great job.
Tatsuya: "Don't even bother."
He's dribbling towards Hirata and Kiriyama?
He's gonna crash through them.
Hirata: "!."
Kiriyama: "No way."
Shit.
Akito: "Not a chance!"
Tatsuya: "Move, Akito." Tatsuya said as he passed him.
Akito: (Wha, elastico nutmeg?!)
He's...crashing through to create more options.
Tatsuya: "I'll increase the game level. Since everything looked so boring before."
Kiyo: "Ah, is that so?" I said as I appeared infront of him to guard.
Audience seat
Miyuki: "Here it is."
Lina: "Yeah. It's happening sooner than expected."
Honami: "O-oh! Tatsuya kun and Ayanokoji kun is clashing head on near team A's goal zone!"
Back to the pitch
Kiyo: "Come on, pass me if you can."
Tatsuya: "Then try to keep up with me." was what he said but...
Everytime he makes a move, I reacted to it.
From all his feints, dribbles, even nutmegs, I reacted to all of them.
I'm not about to let him win this 1v1.
Everyone: "Ohhh!!!!"
Honami: "What a fierce one on one!"
Kiyo: "What's wrong?"
Tatsuya: "Hah...you really are annoying."
Ishizaki: "Ayanokoji san, I'll back you up!"
Oh shit.
Kiyo: "Stay back, Ishiza-"
Tatsuya: "Thanks, Ishizaki." He flicked the ball upwards.
Tch, a rainbow flick, huh...
He used Ishizaki as a wall to get past me.
Ishizaki: "Ah!"
Kiyo: "Damn it, Ishizaki, you fool."
And to make things worse he just had to be equal with me in speed. There's no way for me to get past him since he started first.
He's getting closer. Shit.
Hosen: "Dream on, you robot."
Sudo: "I'll stop you!"
Tatsuya: "Yagami." He sent a pass to Yagami and slipped in between Sudo and Hosen.
Hosen: "The fuck?!"
Yagami: "There, right?" He passed the ball back to Tatsuya.
Shit, from that angle, he can totally score.
Katsuragi's position is on the right side, with a direct shoot from that angle, he'd just have to aim to the top left corner.
Fuck, he will sco-
???: "Well ex-fucking-cuse me."
Ah...
Nagumo: "Very cool, Shiba. It seems you can actually play after all." Nagumo moved infront of him to block his path.
Great, Nagumo.
Nagumo: "Not in a place like this, Shiba. Your shot course is dead."
Tatsuya: "Who said I'm shooting?"
Nagumo: "Huh?"
Tatsuya: "My target was this all along." He shot in between Nagumo's legs. And when the ball reached the top left, Ryuuen already preapared himself.
Ryuuen: "Kukuku, nice pass."
Tatsuya: "Hit it with your dragon headbutt, Ryuuen."
Ryuuen: "Fuck off with that name." Ryuuen headbutted the ball.
Goal
A-3
B-3
Shit. His aim was to assist Ryuuen after all. I miscalculated.
Nagumo: "Hah...to think you'd actually pass it to Ryuuen."
Tatsuya: "Who said a striker can't make an assist? I don't care about striker's pride or something. As long as I win, I don't care about not getting a single goal."
Nagumo: "Hah....then become a fucking midfielder you wannabe realist."
Tatsuya: "Your idealism is childish, senpai."
I need to rethink my strategies again.
The time is running out. The last minutes of this match will be draining.
Yagami POV
That was straight up amazing.
Tatsuya senpai breaking through to the end all by himself, using Ishizaki as a bait for the one on one against Ayanokoji, and that pass between Nagumo's legs.
It's as if he's always calm and predicts everything ahead of time.
It's probably due to his high intellegence that he's able to make all that play. And Ryuuen linked up with him, to create that goal.
Tatsuya: "Don't get carried away, Yagami. I only tied the game. We still need to win."
Yagami: "Yeah. I know."
Kick off
Ayanokoji passed to Nagumo but...
Koenji: "Just try getting past me, ex president kun. You might be able to shoot with that ridiculous technique, but you don't have the dribbling skills to win a one on one."
Nagumo: "Hahaha, that's rude, Koenji. And who said dribbling skills are the only deciding factor on 1v1, hm?"
Koenji: "Then try getting past me, ex president."
Nagumo: "And who said i wanna face you in one on one?" Nagumo passed the ball to the running Miyake.
Koenji: "Fuh, seems like you don't have the guts."
Nagumo: "Oh shut up tarzan."
Akito: "Ishizaki!" Miyake passed the ball.
Ishizaki: "Allright, I got it-"
Ryuuen: "Dream on, kukuku." before the ball reached Ishizaki, Ryuuen cleared it.
Ishizaki: "Ah..."
The ball landed to Albert and he send it to me.
Albert: "Go."
Yagami: "With pleasure."
Allright, Tatsuya senpai is ready.
Kiriyama: "You're not getting past me!"
Yagami: "Get the fuck outta my way." I passed to Shibata senpai who already started running.
Shibata: "I see...nice strategy, Yagami."
Yagami: "Feel it, Shibata senpai. The most reasonable option."
Shibata: "I know."
Before the ball landed, Shibata jumped and passed mid air to Tatsuya senpai.
Nice. He sensed it after all. If he let the ball landed, Hosen would mark him.
And now...
Yagami: "Finish it."
Tatsuya: "Thanks for the ball."
Here it comes. The best plac-
Kiyo: "Not a chance."
Tatsuya: "Kiyotaka?!"
Shit!
Ayanokoji blocked the shot course with his own body.
Kiyo: "Ugh."
Oh shit.
Lina: "KIYOTAKA!"
Kiyo: (Fuck...a direct hit to the stomach...) "Clear it....Machida...."
Machida: "On it!"
Yagami: "Get the loose ball!"
Shit, nobody could reach it. Machida's gonna clear it.
Machida: "Take it, Kiriyama senpai!"
Kiriyama: "Nice pass, Machida." he trapped the ball.
Shibata: "I'll stop you, Kiriyama senpai."
Kiriyama: "Ugh."
Hirata: "Senpai!" the free Hirata ran to the passing spot.
Kiriyama: "There!" Kiriyama passed.
Hirata: "Nice pass."
Don't worry. They lack attacker. Ayanokoji and Nagumo is still on the back side. Hirata can't dribble to the front all the way.
Hirata: "Take it!"
What? who's he passing to?
Wait...Ishizaki is missing. Don't tell me.
Ishizaki: "Hell yeah!"
That fucker...he sneaked behind all of us?!
Shit shit shit!
Ishizaki: "This goal is min-"
Utomiya: "Fuck off." Utomiya cleared the ball.
Ishizaki: "Ah?!"
Utomiya: "Get it, Yagami!" he shouted.
Yagami: "I know. Stop yelling." I trapped the ball and started dribbling.
Akito: "You're not getting past me."
Hirata: "I'll stop you, Yagami kun."
Yagami: "Nuisance." I passed the ball.
Akito: "Shit...that course..."
Hirata: "Ryuuen kun?!"
Ryuuen: "Dang nice, Yagami."
Kiriyama: "I won't let you."
Tokito: "Give it here, Ryuuen!"
Ryuuen: "Tch, you owe me one, Tokito." Ryuuen passed to Tokito.
Tokito: "Dang nice." He made the shot.
Hosen: "Fuck off!" Hosen blocked the shot, resulting in a corner kick.
Tokito: "Ah...fuck you, gorilla."
Hosen: "Hah! as if I'll let you score."
Hah...this is starting to get tiring...
I went to the corner and made eye contact with Tatsuya senpai.
He smirked at me, as if knowing what I was thinking.
Yagami: "Let's do this..."
Kiyotaka POV
Katsuragi: "Ayanokoji....hurry and get up. You're not going to spend the rest of the game groaning in pain, don't you?"
Kiyo: "I know...give me a second."
Ah...the pain finally cooled down.
It's just Tatsuya's normal shoot but it hurts so much. I can't imagine what state my body would be if I got hit by Nagumo's Kaiser Impact.
Anyways...
Referee: "Corner kick!"
Now then...if I were Yagami, where would I pass, hm...
The best place. The best possible place. The place I desire to destroy team A...
Yagami: "Here goes." Yagami kicked the ball.
It's Tatsuya.
I won't let you reach it.
Tatsuya: "Tch."
Kiyo: "Not a fucking chance."
I'll reach it first.
Wait...
Yagami: "Bullseye."
This pass. It's not for Tatsuya?
He calculated the pass to barely not reach here. A perfect fake.
Shit, it's going to Koenji.
Koenji: "I win."
Nagumo: "Still premature." Nagumo cleared the ball before Koenji trapped it. Just like before.
Koenji: "You?!"
Yagami: "Fuck!"
Nagumo: "Get the fucking ball, Kiriyama!"
Kiriyama: "On it!"
Allright, let's do this.
The last bit of my stamina...
I'll run at full speed to reach the goal first.
Not wasting time, I accelerated full throttle.
Since they're all still behind, the only one who can defend are Sendou, Satonaka, Utomiya, and Albert.
This will work.
Sendou: "Bring it on, Kiriyama!"
Kiriyama: "Don't even bother." He casually passed Sendou.
Good. That's convenient. But...
The remaining 3 defenders are too much for him.
Kiyo: "Kiriyama. Here."
Kiriyama: "Lead us to victory, Ayanokoji!" he made a pass to me.
As I got the ball, Satonaka was infront of me.
Satonaka: "I'll crush yo-"
Kiyo: "Get the fuck outta my way you non-existent ikemen." I blow past him with a nutmeg.
Satonaka: "Fuck!"
Utomiya: "Stop him, Albert senpai!"
Albert: "Yes."
Albert is a muscle type defender. So he would probably try to pressure me with his body core.
But since he's that kind of defender, I know how to get past him.
Albert: "I'll stop you."
Kiyo: "Don't even bother." I pulled a la boba on him.
Albert: "!"
Now the final wall.
Utomiya: "Come."
Engaging Utomiya in a one on one would be a waste of time. But there's no guarantee if I could get it in...what should I do...should I just do it?
Koenji: "Oh my, you're having fun, Ayanokoji boy."
Koenji?!
Shit, fuck thought process. I'm gonna shoot.
Kiyo: "Get lost." I shot the ball.
Utomiya: "Gyro shot?!"
Koenji: "Oh my, but..."
We win.
Yagami: "Not a chance!" Yagami blocked the ball.
You've gotta be kidding me....
Yagami: "You're not the only one returning with max speed, senpai."
Fuck. Gotta get the loose ball.
Tatsuya: "And it's mine." Tatsuya got the loose ball.
Shit. This just turned bad real quick.
Koenji: "Fufufu, this will be fun." Koenji started rushing to team A's goal zone.
Nagumo: "Not a chance, Shiba." Nagumo arrived to block him.
Great.
Tatsuya: "Get lost." he casually got past Nagumo.
Nagumo: "Shit."
No. It's fine. Because...
Kiyo: "Hey, we meet again, Tatsuya."
Tatsuya: "Kiyotaka..."
Kiyo: "This will be our deciding match up."
Nagumo: (Ayanokoji....hahahaha, I see...so that's how it is...)
Kiyo: "Come on now. Let's square off."
Tatsuya: "My pleasure."
Scissor feints in a crazy pace. He's totally rushing to finish this. But...
Kiyo: "You're not getting away."
Tatsuya: "Tch."
Come on...feel it...
Observe his movements...predict his approach...where will he go...
There!
As he was trying to preapare his dribble, I kicked the ball out of his possession.
Tatsuya: "?!"
Yagami: (No fucking way...)
Game over.
Nagumo: "Nice, Ayanokoji."
Yagami: (Nagumo?! shit! it's completely on my blindspot.)
Utomiya: (Fuck!)
Nagumo: "Executed." Nagumo shot the ball straight to the goal.
Goal
A-4
B-3
Team A Wins!
Everyone: "GOALLL!!!!!"
Yagami POV
Honami: "O-oh! Nagumo senpai's shot flew straight to team B's goal! leading team A towards victory!"
No....
Honami: "It's team A's victory!!!"
NO FUCKING WAY!
Tatsuya: (Haah....I only played for a while and we lost.)
I....I won't accept this...
???: "See that? that's reality."
I turned around to see the source of the voice. It was Ayanokoji.
Yagami: "Ayanokoji...."
Kiyo: "This is the limit of your ability. You lost to me in this aspect and you will lost to me again at everything else."
Shut up....
Kiyo: "Wake up to reality, foolish clown."
Yagami: "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I roared at him.
Everyone looked at our direction but I don't care.
Kiyo: "Hm?"
Yagami: "Ayanokoji....from this moment onwards...you're my main target."
Kiyo: "Oh wow, so am I supposed to be afraid?"
Yagami: "I'll fucking kill you. Just you wait. I'll kill you. I'll destroy you to pieces. I'll destroy everything about you."
Kiyo: "Good luck with that."
Yagami: "Don't underestimate me, Ayanokoji. I swear on my pride I'll beat you as if it's the last thing I'm gonna do in this world."
Kiyo: "Hah...you sure are desperate, you shitty clown."
Yagami: "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING CLOWN?!" I tried to punch him but he grabbed my hand.
Kiyo: "See? that's what a clown would do."
This fucker...
Yagami: "Don't fuck with me!" I used my other hand but...
Lina: "Stop it, Takuya!" Lina screamed.
Yagami: "Shut up..."
Lina: "Do you wanna get expelled?! look around you!"
Kiyo: "She's right. We're in the middle of a big crowd. Control yourself, stupid clown."
Yagami: "Tch...whatever." I retired my fist before turning back.
Kiyo: (He's desperate...)
Yagami: "There will be no next time." I said as I left the pitch.
Tsukasa POV
That block from Kiyotaka....that was indeed a superb prediction.
I wonder what will happen if he had the Emperor Eye. It would be interesting...
Maybe I should put him on the same experiment as I do.
Akashi: "So, did you enjoy the game?"
Manabu: "More or less. This is all right, Akashi? I wanted to return to my house."
Maya: "You're a killjoy, Horikita kun."
Manabu: "Hmph. I just wanted to continue my college task. That's all."
Akashi: "Allright, allright. Let's go back, Maya san."
The 3 of us returned to the arrival spot while Maya san preapared her INSTA.
But still...that last block was still on my mind.
Akashi: "maybe...maybe it's actually possible for him to beat mahesvara...if I gave him that experiment..." I muttered.
No use of thinking about it now. I should just go home.
Kiyotaka POV
Ryuuen: "Kukuku, fucking monster. I think you broke him."
Kiyo: "It's his fault."
Tatsuya: "I wish I could play from the start."
Hirata: "Well, no need to be sad about it, Shiba kun."
I turned around to see Nagumo, who's drinking his water.
Kiyo: "Yo." I approached him.
Nagumo: "Ayanokoji..."
Kiyo: "Tell me, Nagumo. Why did you help me? you could just sit back and let Yagami beat me."
Nagumo: "Why, huh. Maybe I wanted to try being on the same side as you for once, instead of being your enemy."
He wiped his face with his towel.
Nagumo: "That ended up being worth it." He smirked at me.
Kiyo: "Hoh...I see..."
Nagumo: "Well, that game was fun. I got a hat trick so I'm satisfied."
Nagumo packed his things before finally turning around to leave.
Nagumo: "See you later, Ayanokoji." he waved his hands while slowly leaving the pitch.
What a weird guy. I guess the quote "yesterday's enemy is today's friend" is actually usable.
Kiyo: "maybe I should decrease his punishment..." I muttered.
I should think about it later.
Miyuki: "Congratulations, Kiyotaka san." Miyuki said to me.
Kiyo: "Ah, Miyuki. Thanks. You're not angry that I beat your onii sama?"
Miyuki: "Well, what can I do about it. He only played during the last minutes. I can't do anything about it."
How suprisingly open-minded of her...
Miyuki: "By the way, where is Lina?"
Kiyo: "Come to think of it...she's gone..."
Wait. Don't tell me...
I ran as fast as I can.
Miyuki: "K-Kiyotaka san?!"
Kiyo: "We'll talk later."
Shit shit shit! this is the worst possible outcome.
Lina POV
What the hell is he doing on this tunnel. Is he a sadboy or what?
Yagami: "Lina? what are you doing here."
Lina: "It's not like you to sulk alone like this. Let's go back to our class."
Yagami: "Zip it. You're just going to mock me like your boyfriend."
Lina: "That's...that's not true."
Yagami: "That so? then get lost."
Lina: "No. I'll drag you back if I have to."
Takuya sighed at my statement.
Yagami: "Hah...you sure are stubborn. I wonder what I found attractive from you." he chuckled.
Lina: "Excuse me?"
Yagami: "But that's your unique trait, I guess." he approached me.
Lina: "So, you'll be back?"
Yagami: "One condition."
Lina: "Let's hear it."
Yagami: "Comfort me." he got closer to me.
Lina: "T-Takuya?!"
He grabbed my chin lightly. But for some reason, I can't resist him at all.
Takuya: "That's the thing you girls can do, right?" he leaned cloer and closer.
We...we're gonna kiss...
Resist..please...move my body...
He's getting close-
???: "What the fuck are you doing, you shitty clown." A hand grabbed Takuya's hair.
Yagami: "Y-you?!"
Lina: "K-Kiyotaka?!"
H-his face...I can see it from his eyes. It's full of rage, jealousy, anger, and all the emotions you felt when your girlfriend almost got kissed.
Kiyo: "Have some shame, shitty clown. Now you're trying to kiss my girlfriend? if even a centimeter of your lip touched hers, I'll kill you." he said with a cold tone.
Yagami: "Fuck off, you third wheeler." he slapped Kiyotaka's hand away.
Kiyo: "You're the third wheeler you fucking scrub."
Lina: "Hey..stop it!"
Kiyo: "She's right. Anymore of this would be childish."
Yagami: "Hah. So you still have common sense in that monkey brain of yours."
Kiyo: "Shut up you circus performance."
Yagami: "Next exam. Next exam i'll destroy you personally, Ayanokoji. This stage will be our last. Don't you dare run away from me."
Ah, end of the year exam...
Kiyo: "Fine. Pick the stage and I'll entertain you as much as you want."
Yagami: "I'll never give up until I defeat you, fake masterpiece." he said as he left the tunnel.
Hearing that, Kiyotaka's eyes widened.
Wait, don't tell me he didn't know about it?
Lina: "You don't know about it?"
Kiyo: "You knew?"
Lina: "INSTA's busted."
Kiyo: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Lina: "I thought you already know about it."
Kiyo: "That's fair."
Lina: "But still...it seems Takuya is getting impatient. He's not hiding anymore."
Kiyo: "That doesn't matter. I'll crush him as many times as he wanted."
Lina; "Why both of you can't just get along already..."
Kiyo: "I'll never forgive someone who tried stealing you from me."
Lina: "E-eh?!" I blushed.
Kiyo: "He's no exception."
I smiled at his statement.
Lina: "Look at you being possessive like that."
Kiyo: "Shut up. I wanna go back and take a shower already."
Lina: "Heheheh, then I'll cook for you later."
Kiyo: "Appreciate it."
Little did I know, this happy moment is the beggining to a terrible tragedy.
Timeskip, final exam
No...this can't be happening....
Lina: "Hey, this is a joke right, Kiyotaka?"
No respond.
Lina: "Kiyotaka...."
Still no respond from him.
Lina: "KIYOTAKA!!! ANSWER ME!"
No...please...please tell me this isn't real...
???: "Forget it."
I turned around to see the voice behind me.
???: "He's dead."
To Be Continued
