Before the next round started, Toge ran up to Zantetsu.

Zantetsu: "Hm? What is it."

Toge: "Sorry about earlier, the blame's on me. I don't mean what I said, it was just to help my team."

The white haired male said nonchalantly, still with an expressionless face as he apologised to the left-footed speedster.

Zantetsu: "No, it was my own fault, I was the one who hit you anyway."

Toge: "I angered you, but if you say so. Good luck."

The intelligent male then smiles, determined before slightly waving Toge off.

' KICK OFF! '

The atmosphere stayed tense, as well as Reo. Toge was completely concerned, while Seishiro hadn't noticed until his brother mentioned it.

Toge: "Seishiro, is Reo okay?"

Nagi: "Hm? Why'd you ask, Y/n?"

The white haired male frowned slightly, gesturing for Seishiro to look at Reo.

Reo: "Am I..."

"Are I and Nagi...Losing?"

Seishiro and Toge's eyes widened, not like Toge could do anything. Toge reached out his right arm, still eyes widened as he stared at the devastated Reo.

Toge: "R...eo?"

He's never seen Reo look so hopeless, so he just stood there and did nothing as Seishiro absolutely destroyed team Z.

STRIKE!

Reo: "Nagi-kun...Is taking the initiative?"

The purple haired male then turns to a frozen Toge.

Reo: "And Toge...Is feeling guilty...?"

Isagi: "D-Damn it...!"

Igaguri: "There's no going back now.."

Kunigami: "We have to keep going...Even if we're already worn off.."

Raichi: "My soccer career!"

Gagamaru: "No, this is all not enough. We need to get better..."

Isagi: "It's as if..."

Isagi: "We released a new monster, Nagi Seishiro. It'll be almost hopeless."

The repeating image with Reo and his expression of his hopeless face kept reappearing in Toge's head, he couldn't get it out.

And his chest was feeling tight, so was his throat.

Why?

That question was answered several times. So, Toge is going to figure out how to get the weight off of his heart as he plays soccer.

He'll try something new.

Immediately once the whistle was blown, Toge had the ball. He didn't pass it to anyone, because no one wanted to get it from a stressed out Toge.

Team Z watched as Toge went through Team V, using multiple skills at once as he finally makes it to the goalkeeper.

His chest was finally feeling free, though being guarded by Seishiro, Zantetsu and the goalkeeper.
