PREVIOUSLY: SHATTERED PIECES

A match where you can only run freely with the ball with others without things to worry about. I almost forgot how this feels like the only I can feel back at Raimon was too much pressure. 

Suddenly my head starts hurting a little. I grab my water bottle and take sips of water to ease this headache away. Thankfully it works and, none of them speculate which, is a great thing. I don't want them to worry about me over a just simple headache.

'Is it just me that why does it seem so hot all of the sudden?! Maybe not.'

"Minna! It's time for us to head home, it's almost late." Everyone nods at Osamu-san getting their things and starts heading out.

As I follow them from behind, the headache a while ago went back but this time it's crushing my brain. My chest starts to suffocate me inside and my vision begins to blurry and dark spots appear in my sight. After that, everything turns pitch black.

OKINAWA GENERAL HOSPITAL

The Shizen Soccer Team is in the waiting room, scattered through the room silently waiting for the operation to finish. All of them are exhausted though you cannot miss how worried they are for their captain.

He just came back three days ago, and now he is in the hospital don’t know what his condition would be. It's been an hour they are waiting, and time seems to slow down for them.

Then the silent mood was broken by the sound of rush footsteps echoing through the hallway.

Coach Haruta is the only one who looks at where the footsteps come from hopefully it will be the brunet's guardian.

The person arrives in the waiting room with two other people behind him. Coach Haruta quietly approaches them carefully not to disturb their players.

"How is he right now?" softly said Hiroto worried over his son's condition, and noticed teens scattered around the room exhausted. Others are just sleeping or silently waiting for the operation to finish.

Haruta shakes his head. "There still no news about him. The operation is still ongoing."

Three of the players, Osamu, Ryuu, and Hiro went to adults, greets the new arrivals.

"What actually happened?"  asked the head of the maid, Utsui Hana, with her side the head of the butler, Kaito Itsuki.

The three players look at each other. Osamu is the one who answers. "We have a combat match for training today to test our abilities and limits. That is why we are all exhausted." gestures towards the slumping forms of his teammates. "Matsui sensei and the managers head out to get something to eat for the team in the nearby food store."

Before he can continue, Hiroto stops him and politely request his butler to help the managers. Kaito put his right hand to his chest and bows slightly. Then he heads out to fulfill his duty.

Afterward, Osamu takes it as a sign to resume his story earlier. "Later we tidy ourselves up back at the clubroom feel much better and lively but still a little exhausted. We are all about to head out when Ryuu and I suddenly heard a loud thump behind. That is when we saw Tenma on the floor unconscious. When I hold him, he is burning up, and we immediately call Taiki Kantoku and Emica sensei. Then we straight away sent him here."

Luckily after he finished, the operation light went off, and the doctor enters the waiting room. The adults walk towards the doctor, bows down show respect, while the three teens wake their sleeping teammates.
