At the soccer field...
Inazuma Japan players are currently training for the next match. Kai and Isamu finally join them in the practice. Tsukasa and Kaminari are doing some offense practice with Kotaro and Kiba blocking. Tsukasa pass the ball to Kaminari as he get past them.
Kirishima: Come on!
Kaminari kick the ball toward the goalpost. Kirishima tries to catch the ball but he get pushed into the goal.
Kirishima: Damn it! Again...
Kaminari: Don't think too much about how powerful the shoot is. Keep thinking that you can stop that shoot.
Kirishima: R-Right!
Kiba and Kotaro sit on the ground while panting.
Kotaro: We couldn't stop Captain...
Kiba: He said that he don't want to be a captain. Now we know why Coach choose him.
Tsukasa: *walk to them* He have the leadership that this team needs.
Kiba and Kotaro look at Tsukasa.
Tsukasa: It's true that Endou don't want to be a captain. But he was too good when he's the captain.
Haruki and Suiryuu doing dribble. Kai tries to steal the ball from Isamu. Homura is dribbling while Nanae tries to block her. Everyone are doing their best even in practice. After an hour, they take some break.
Riko: Here's some drink!
Asuka: Make sure you get some rest!
The team panting while some sits on the ground and some on the bench.
Homura: *panting* Finally, some break...
Nanae: *panting* Being a defender isn't that easy... huh?
Kiba: We barely able to win the first round. I wonder who'll we be our opponent in the second.
Kaminari: Anyway, all we must do is to win. And then, went to the world stage!
IJ Players: Right!
After that, Kariya calls them to the briefing room to tell them about the next round.
At the briefing room...
They all went to their seats. Hakuryuu sits at the front table with Kariya stand next to him.
Kariya: Your next opponent for the second round has been decided.
The team can feel the tense. Even the managers get nervous.
Kariya: It'll be the representative of Uzbekistan, Storm Wolf.
Kaminari: Storm Wolf...
Haruki: They went to the world tournament twice already, and mostly reach the semifinals or finals.
Suiryuu: This time we'll be fighting them, huh?
Kiba: They also have "wolf" in their team name. Interesting.
Haruki: Their kick of winning is their forwards, Sael and Azel. They never fail to score goals in previous the match. And their captain, Sael always score most of the goal in their team.
Hakuryuu: You can't win with your current level. *stand up* Come with me.
He press the button at the wall and the floor opened, showing a stairs moving down into the basement. They follow Hakuryuu and Kariya into the hallway in the basement.
Nanae: I don't know that this place have this kind of thing.
Kotaro: Y-Yeah...
Kaminari: Wait, isn't this...
They enter a room and it shows the same thing that they have in Raimon. They enter the room.
In the Black Room...
Hakuryuu: You'll be practicing in here.
Homura: Aren't this the Black Room?!
Suiryuu: Yeah, it is!
Nanae: Huh? You guys know about this room?
Kariya: Actually, Raimon have another one like this room. After all, almost all school have a special training room.
Isamu: But what does this place can do anyway?
Kiba: I can't see anywhere we can train.
Kariya went to the control panel and press some button. The place change into a grassland.
Kai: What the?!
Haruki: We're at a grassland?
Nanae: What just happened?
Kaminari: So this is the original Black Room, huh? *turn to the team* Guys, listen to me.
The players look at Kaminari.
Kaminari: I, Homura and Suiryuu trained in a room like this in Raimon. This room creates a hologram that fitting with the place we wanted to train. But this isn't just a hologram, it sending special waves into our brain and make it feels real.
Kotaro: *touch the grass* Wow, it's true!
Hakuryuu: Since Kaminari, Homura and Suiryuu have already complete Level 4, they'll be helping you guys.
Kariya: First, the others that never use this room as training will start from Level 1.
The area change into the city area. Steel beams appear in the air and start falling and crash onto the ground.
Kotaro: Wh-What?!
Kaminari: Those are steel beams. By dodging them while dribble with the ball, it'll help you guys to get better. Hurry up and start already!
Soccer balls appear in front of them. Tsukasa, Kai, Isamu and Haruki dribble the soccer balls while dodging the steel beams. The others separated from them for other training. Kaminari and Suiryuu do the same training but even harder.
Hakuryuu: Homura, I want you to help Yukimura in her practice.
Homura: Yes, sir.
She and Nanae get into a sandy area, not a desert.
Homura: Nanae-chan, let's start with running!
Nanae: Yeah!
They running through the sand. Homura able to run perfectly while Nanae is having a hard time in catching up with Homura.
Hakuryuu: Arashi, Okami, you need to strengthen your legs.
Kotaro/Kiba: Strengthen our legs?
They entered an place with forest and river. They stand on a wooden bridge.
Kotaro: A bridge?
Kiba: What kind of training is this?
They heard clicking sound and look behind as they saw the wooden floor dettaching.
Kotaro/Kiba: We're gonna fall!
They run forward and reach the end of the bridge. They panting as the bridge fix itself.
Kiba: It fixed...
Then they heard the sound again and ir from the other side.
Kotaro: It's from here now?!
They run back to the other side.
Kirishima: Is there an area fit for goalkeeper?
Hakuryuu: Of course.
The area change into a desert. Kirishima look around and the sand.
Kirishima: A desert, huh? It does hard to move with this sand.
An holographic player appear as Kirishima ready himself. The player kick the ball but Kirishima couldn't reach the ball due the sand lower his mobility.
Kirishima: Darn it! Again!
The players keep practicing while Hakuryuu, Kariya and the managers watching from the side.
Asuka: Everyone is doing their best.
Riko: Yeah.
Kariya: They can practice here no matter how long they wanted. Their progress will get even better than before.
Hakuryuu walk out from the room.
Riko: Does Coach always like that?
Kariya: Hakuryuu's way might be harsh, but he's good when it's about leading. That is why he become the coach of Inazuma Japan.
Asuka: But harsh is still too much...
After the practice, the players went to the dorms and get some rest.
(Time Skip)
(Next Day)
Hakuryuu gave them a free day. Some of them do their own stuff and some do some practice by themselves. Kaminari and Tsukasa practice by themselves at the field.
Kaminari: I never thought that Coach would gave us some free time.
Tsukasa: Well, some of us really needed some rest for a while. Endou, how do you think about the others?
Kaminari: That's not my problem. All of them are good players, even thought that Katsuragi still have his rough side and Arashi still having hard time in the last match. I think that something will work out.
Tsukasa: I see. You really are a considerable captain. No wonder you were chosen as the captain of Raimon, and now Inazuma Japan.
Kaminari: Please, don't make me remember those stuff. I never wanted to be the captain...
Tsukasa: Minato-senpai said the same before, but he turns out into an excellent captain.
Kaminari: Speaking of him, how is his current health?
Tsukasa: He's getting better. After he fully recovered, his heart problem won't get in the way anymore.
Kaminari: I see. That's good to hear.
It shows the others are doing their own stuff. Homura and Nanae go sightseeing at the mall, Kai training by himself, Kiba and Kotaro are practicing something that Kariya told them, Haruki is kicking the ball while Kirishima tries to block them, Suiryuu is doing some running near the port, and Isamu...
At the hospital...
Isamu is walking through the hospital hallway at the second floor. Then he stopped in front of a door of a patient room. The name at the side stated "Katsuragi Hanabi." He knock the room and enter when told.
Isamu: I come to visit, Nee-san.
It shows a girl sitting on the bed. From her look, she clearly a high school student. Her name is Katsuragi Hanabi, Isamu's older sister. She has a long brown hair to the shoulder, tied into a ponytail with brownish-black eyes and she's wearing a patient robe.
Hanabi: Isamu, it's been a while since you visited me.
Isamu: Of course I came to visit. You're my sister.
Hanabi: I never expected that you were chosen as the members of Inazuma Japan. I watched the match between Inazuma Japan against Mach Tiger, congratulation for winning.
Isamu: Thank you, Nee-san.
Hanabi: But, why did you use rough play in the matches in last Soccer Festival? I told you not to use that method.
Isamu: W-Well...
Hanabi: *sigh* I know that you wanted to make me proud, but rough play is too much.
Isamu: *look down* Sorry, because me... you lose your position as Gassan Kunimitsu's ace striker...
In the past, during the Hanabi's time in junior high, she was an excellent soccer player that even scouted by the international youth soccer league. There was the time when she and Isamu play soccer together, Isamu kick the ball too hard and hit a broken pole. He went to get it but the pole slowly fall down toward him. Hanabi push Isamu away before the pole hit her right leg instead. Since then, she have to quit from soccer and mostly stay at the hospital, trying to heal her broken leg.
Hanabi: What happened back then wasn't your fault. Accidents happens all the time.
Isamu: But...
Hanabi: It's fine. Seeing you play soccer, is already enough.
Isamu: Nee-san...
Hanabi: *smile* Good luck in your next match! I'll be cheering you! Make sure you reach the world stage!
She held out her pinkie finger. Isamu also held out his pinkie finger and they make a pinkie promise.

Kaminari: Afuro Terumi, nicknamed Aphordi, right?
Haruki: Heh. Nothing gets away from you, Endou.
"The match continues with Storm Wolf's kickoff! Inazuma Japan is in the lead with 1-0, will Storm Wolf catch up?!"
Azel: I never expect that they'll take the first point from us.
Sael: They're stronger than we expected. But the match just begin.

Vartov: That was weak.
Isamu: What?

Sael: Stop it! Don't provoke him!
Parva: I never expect that Inazuma Japan has a player like you.
Vartov: Who need a weak player like you?
Isamu: *clench his fists* Weak...? I'm not weak!

Isamu: I'm part of the team! Hey, do you heard me?! Hey!
He keep getting angry while the others felt concern about him.
(Storm Wolf)
Roslan: I never thought that Inazuma Japan have someone like that.
Parva: Interesting.
Vartov: What if we provoke him again? That'll will make their teamwork crumble again.
Sael: Stop that!
They tuen around and look at their captain.
Sael: Provoking the other team won't change anything. It'll make things even worse.
Vartov: But Captain... if we use his anger that will help us win easily.
Azel: I agree with Captain. I wanted to win, but not like that.
Yorga: I agree with them. I wanted to play in a fair game.
Parva: Not you, too.

-Preview-
"The team is in a pinch. Isamu keep doing all the stuff in his own way without caring about how his teammates felt about it while he still get provoked! How will ignore it and play in his own self?"
"Next time, Burst! Yamata no Orochi!"
"This is super dimensional soccer!"
