The whistle blows. The match kicks off. Kidou swiftly passes the ball to Haizaki, who wastes no time. Without hesitation, Haizaki launches a powerful shot from long range straight toward the goal.

Before we can even react—

Goal!

"Let's go, this game’s just getting started!" Asuto says with determination

He begins dribbling with speed, but Haizaki intercepts him almost immediately. With aggressive footwork, Haizaki charges through our defense, slicing through every teammate in his path like they aren’t even there. In seconds, he's right in front of our goal.

"Perfect Penguin!" he shouts as he unleashes his hissatsu technique

Goal!

It's his new hissatsu technique. Seishou takes the lead again—two consecutive goals

Haizaki walks past me, not even trying to hide his arrogance.

"This is my soccer. Enjoy it while you still can" he says smugly

"You've scored two goals, and you’re already acting like a king" I reply

He stops in his tracks and turns to face me, clearly irritated.

"Huh?! What did you say?!"

"And what’s this ‘my soccer’ nonsense? Do you even enjoy playing it? You think I don't know you're just doing this to avenge that Akane girl?"

His eyes widen "[F/N] [L/N]! How do you know about that?!"

"None of your business" I say flatly

"You—!" Haizaki begins, but I’ve already turned away and jog back to my position

The game resumes.

Haizaki’s at it again, dribbling through our field like it’s his personal playground. He doesn’t even bother passing to his teammates. He reaches the goal, eyes sharp, and shouts:

"Overhead Penguin!"

Norika leaps forward, using her own hissatsu—Uzumaki The Hand—but it’s not enough.

Goal.

Again.

"Three points lost in the first half… I don’t even need to analyze this" Hiro mutters grimly

"At this rate, we don't have a chance" Golem adds

"I haven’t even touched the ball once" Hiyori says, disheartened

"Me neither" Han-chon murmurs

・・・・・・

Haizaki charges at the goal once again, relentless. He kicks the ball—hard—but this time, I throw myself in front of it, using my body as a shield. I manage to stop the ball.

The impact knocks the wind out of me.

"Oof… that kinda hurt" I mutter, clutching my stomach

"[F/N], are you okay?!" Norika asks, rushing over

"Yeah, no worries," I say with a strained smile

Why did I even think to block that with my body? That hurt like crazy. I’m glad he didn’t use a hissatsu this time. If a normal kick is that strong… how is Norika stopping his shots with her hands? She’s tough. I think to myself as I run back to position, hand still on my stomach.

"Nice block, [F/N]!" Asuto calls out

"Thanks!" I reply, forcing a grin

"Are you sure you're okay? You're still holding your stomach" Asuto says with concern
