|lunch break||cafeteria|
"[F/N] you know there's a lot happens in the soccer club!" Shinsuke said
"really?" I said
"you know after our game in Eito academy coach Kudou leave as coach then a new coach appear and that's Endou mamoru yeah Endou Mamoru the legendary goalkeeper, can you believe it?" Tenma said
"really?" I said
"yeah! And also you know, captain was about to leave at the team but I convinced him to don't" Tenma said
"how?" I asked
"I go to his house or maybe should I say palace" Tenma said
"wooow" me, shinsuke, Aoi said in sinc
"and also you know [F/N] I have my own hissatsu technique now, I call it
soyokaze step" Tenma smile
"wow, congrats!" I smile
"thank you!"
"[F/N] chan just please join the soccer club I know that you are good at soccer I wanna play with you!" Shinsuke said
I chuckle
"Shinsuke's right [F/N], I know that you still don't have a club so why don't you join the soccer club" Aoi said
"I will think about it" I said
|next day|
I'm walking on the corridor of the school then I saw kyousuke, me and him have a eye contact but he immediately glance away
I decided to approach him
"kyo- tsurugi" I said
kyousuke turn to me
"what is it?" he asked
"you've changed a lot" I thought
"I saw the way you play soccer, I can't believe that you can do that kind of things to the soccer the you love" I said
"you don't know anything [F/N]" kyousuke said
"yeah, you're right, until now I'm still curious why you are part of fifth sector" I said
"I've decided to join the soccer club and help the team fight the fifth sector" I said
"do what you want" kyousuke said then leave
|kyousuke's pov|
"I hate my self" I said to my self
|your pov|
After I put my bag on my table I immediately went to the soccer club room.
"im sure, Aoi, Tenma, and Shinsuke are there" I thought while walking
I am now in front of the door and it automatically open then I enter
"uhm excuse me..." I said
"[F/N]?!" Tenma, Shinsuke, Aoi said in sinc
"yes?" endou mamoru said
"wow I'm star struck" I thought while looking at Endou Mamoru
"I'm planning to join the soccer club" I said
"wow another manager in club!" their ace striker sarcastically said to me
"you're joining as a manager?" Teacher Haruna asked
"uhmm, sorry but no" I directly said
"I'm joining as a member of the soccer club, when can I do the test?" I said
All the people inside the club room got surprised
"you are accepted, you are now part of raimon soccer club!" Coach endou said
"ehhh!" the other said
"That's just how fast it is?" Shindou asked
"of course! anyone who wants to play soccer is welcome here at the soccer club!" Coach endou said
"come here in front, and introduce your self" Haruna san said
"hmm" I nodded
"hi everyone, I'm [L/N] [F/N], first year, I'm fine in any positions except goal keeper, I hope we get along" I bow
"welcome to the club [F/N]" Aoi smile
"so [L/N] do you have any experience in playing soccer?" Coach Endou ask
"yeah" I answered
"What's the point of joining a sinking club?" Kurama chuckles
"If I were you, I wouldn't join anymore" he added
I look at him "what is he even fighting for" I thought
teacher Haruna clap to remove the tense between us.
"wait!" Hayami
"your familiar..." he said while he put his finger on his chin
"hmmm? He's right" Hamano added
"wait I remember! You're the girl who shoot the goal from the black knight!" Hamano said
"right! I remember her!" Sangoku senpai said
I awkwardly smile because I'm kind of embarrassed
"here this is your soccer uniform!" teacher Haruna said and smile
"thank you" I smile
--
After that all of us go to the meeting room to discuss our next opponents
"our match up for the first match in bold road has been decided, Raimon is up against Tengarawa Jr. High" Coach said
"Tengarawa Jr. High, huh. Those guys are well known for playing dirty" Amagi said
"More like they use alot of rough play" Hamano added
"Tengarawa uses a very solid defense formation, whether it comes to shaking them up from the sides, or using long passes to break through the center. Shindou, your judgment as captain will be the key to this match " Coach Endou said
Shindou look at kyousuke and kyousuke smirk at him
"Coach, weren't you notified of the order from the fifth sector?" Shindou asked
"an order?"
"they sent an order for the first match?" Kurama said
"What's the score?" Sangoku senpai said
"Shindou! Who is it? Who win?" Kurumada senpai said
"2-0, Tengarawa's win" Kyousuke speak up
"I can't believe this" Amagi said
"Coach why didn't you tell us?" Sangoku senpai asked
"Because there was no need to tell you, We're going to win this match!" Coach Endou said
"Now this is a surprise, so you're going to ignore fifth sector order, Coach?" Kyousuke said
"Who would ever want a match where you intended to lose from the start" Coach Endou said
"If you do that the soccer club will be finished for sure this time" Sangoku said
"No matter who is it, I won't let them decide the result before the match" Coach said
"Sangoku senpai, it is just as coach says! Let's play some real soccer!" Tenma said
"Don't say that so carelessly, I want to win as much as anyone else, but soccer these days isn't just something for fun. Coach, you should understand how is it too, how were all putting up with it for our future..." Sangoku senpai said
"No, I don't get it" Coach said
"I don't even want to try, if that kind of soccer is useful for your future, then its not even soccer anymore." Coach said
"I can't agree with you on this, no matter what you say, I'll be following fifth sector orders." Sangoku senpai said
"I'm with sangoku!" kurumada senpai said
"Me too!" Amagi added
"Excuse us"
The others start to leave the meeting room
"wait a moment, what about practice?" Tenma said
"We're losing in the first match anyway, why bother?" Kurama said
"Captain" Tenma call the attention of Shindou
"You said you'd play real soccer yesterday, didn't you? Tenma said
"My desire to win hasn't changed, but should we be allowing our personal desires influence the future of our other teammates?" Shindou said
"No practice in my first day in soccer club, great" I thought as I start to leave without the other noticing
--
I am now currently walking to the train station to go to my uncle house to practice soccer, my uncle is my dad's cousin and the both of them is really close my dad treat my uncle as his little brother.
Suddenly I felt a vibrate in my bag, I check my phone then I saw my uncle message
conversation📱
Uncle ໒꒱
[F/N], I'm sorry we can't practice today, because I have something I have to go to suddenly
Fr?
yeah, sorry I owe you one, I
Will message you when I'm free
It's just this week I'm kind of busy
fine, I understand
end of conversation
|river bank|
Since my practice didn't go on, I decided to practice alone at the river bank
"Finally here" I said to myself as I put my bag and other stuff in the bench
I'm used to practice alone since yuuichi's accident, it's either I will practice alone or I will practice with my uncle
After I finish stretching I start dribbling and shooting the ball until I noticed that the surroundings were getting dark and the street lines were opening. I look in my watch to check the time
"it's already 6:15" I thought
|not your pov|
While [F/N]'s practicing she didn't notice that from the start of her practice there was a sharp orange eyes staring at her
|back to your pov|
I was about to leave but I heard some one call me
"[F/N]!" I look where the voice coming and I saw tenma waving and running towards me while holding a soccer ball
"Tenma?"
"Your practicing?" tenma asked
"yeah"
"This late?" he asked
"yeah" I smile a little and look at the soccer ball that his holding "You will practice too?" I asked
"wanna practice together" I said
he nodded and smile in response
I saw tenma getting something in his bag
"what are you doing?" I asked then suddenly he took out a can of soft drinks from his bag, and lined it up on the field
"ehh?" I confusely look at him
I watch him as he start dribbling and passing the ball to the can
then we hear shinsuke call our name
"Tenma! [F/N]! You two practiced without me being invited!" he said
"we just bumped into each other" I pat his head and chuckles
"I couldn't stay still at home, its been my dream to play in the holy road, I can't believe we get to play in it as a first year!"
"I thought I wouldn't have to think about holy road for a long time" tenma said
"So I've got to do it with all I've got! Even if we're supposed to lose in the first game" Shinsuke said
"we will win, we'll never lose!" Tenma said
"yeah!" Shinsuke said
"how 'bout you [F/N], are you excited for tomorrow?" Shinsuke asked
"Me? Hmmm, I don't know, and also we're not sure if I'm part of the starting line up" I said
--
After the practice me, Shinsuke, and tenma said goodbye to each other, and today I find a shortcut to our house
"wow now I can go home faster" I thought while walking
While walking I notice a very huge house or should I say a castle, I stare at the place and it's so beautiful
"wow..." I thought
"there must be a prince or princess living there" I thought
|holy road tournament|
"does coach seriously intended for us to win" Kirino said while me and teammates are lined up
"if he does, then somethings seriously wrong with him" Kurumada said
"my future, my life... It's over, its all over" Hayami said
"can't believe that this is their mindset" I thought
"No matter what the coach says, we'll do what's the fifth sector wants us to do" Minamisawa said
"they all really plan to lose..." shinsuke said
"Shinsuke, [F/N], lets just do what we can, it'll workout somehow!" Tenma said
[Raimon vs Tengawara]
Raimon and Tengawara line up face to each other
"Let's have a good game!" all of us said
"it's too bad you have to lose on the first game" the guy with dark purple hair said
"C'mon now, don't tease them, Andou. We got to win against Raimon after they won second in the last year championship, be happy about it" The blondie with glasses said
"that's true, we'll, raimon folks. Do a good job on losing so that the stands don't get bored" Andou said and smile then the 3 of them leave
"I'm sorry for my teams rudeness, it's really unfortunate. I wanted to play a real game with you" their captain said
--
"[F/N], I'm putting you in the starting line up as a midfielder" Coach said
I nodded, Tenma and Shinsuke smile at me
"that's great [F/N]!" Tenma said
"Goodluck [F/N] chan!" Aoi said
I smile
Hamano put his hand on the shoulder of hayami, "don't worry about it hayami!" Hamano smile
"yeah, we're going to lose anyways" Hayami said
|game start|
The game started, Tengawara kick off the ball, Hayabusa have the ball, Tenma mark him up, Hayabusa manage to get through to Tenma, Tenma try to stole the ball from him but he fail but he marks Hayabusa again, Hayabusa pass the ball to their captain, and to their no, then he pass it to Andou.
Andou is now in the defender area but Amagi let him pass through, Andou is now in front of the our goal but Tenma manage to get the ball from him he pass the ball ko Kura a but kurama pass it to no. 8 and no tripped Tenma.
"Tenma!"

Hayabusa have now the ball and he pass it to Andou, our defender is just standing there and not doing anything they just let the Tengawara to get through them. Andou pass it to their captain and he kick the ball towards the goal.
I ran as fast as I could so I could catch up and stop the Tengawara captain's shoot, luckily I manage to stop the shoot, I kicked it while in the air
"Just in time" I sigh as I stomp the ball
"Wow, [L/N]! He stops kita's mighty shoot in mid air! This is [L/N]'s first match in holy road!" The commentator said
"What are you doing? Wouldn't it be easier if you just let us score one around now?" no 8 said to me
"I wouldn't let you score" I said and I pass the ball to Shindou who are besides me
"I not going to obey fifth sectors order, I'm going for a real win!" Shindou said
"Hey you two, no need for jokes in the middle of the match" no. 8 said
"I'm serious!" Shindou said and he get through to the captain of Tengawara
Shindou got mark by Hayabusa but he manage to get through, he pass the ball to kurama but the ball flew away towards tenma
"tenma" he said
Tenma pass the ball to me, Shindou currently using his hissatsu technique "God's baton"
I look around and I saw that no one wants to receive the ball, then I saw the God's baton direction, it sign me to go through the Tengawara field.
I get through the Tengawara players I'm now in the territory of Tengawara.
"You think a begginer like you can pass me?!" Hayabusa said as he ran towards me
"who said that I'm a newbie?" I said as I get through him
I'm dribbling the ball then the defenders of Tengawara surrounded me.
"[F/N]!" Shindou said and he sign me to kick the ball high up
I kick the ball high up and Shinsuke got it he pass the ball using his head to tenma
"The first year is making their moves!" The commentator said
Tenma high pass the ball to Shindou, but the pass is a little off because Tenma tripped before he pass the ball, one of the Tengawara try to stole the ball but Shindou hot it first.
Shindou use his hissatsu technique "Fortissimo!" Shindou said and shoot the ball to the goal
"Goal 1-0! Raimon is in the lead!" The commentator said
"Nice play" Shindou said then the both of use high five
