Ayanokoji pov:- 

"Here, take a drink Ayanokoji."

"Thanks."

Griping a juice bottle I sat down to take rest. Currently I was in the ground playing the soccer match for third place.

That man's plan went smoothly. There was no problem in me replacing my duplicate. After that I came to this school, Karasuno high. Here I joined soccer team and now we are playing high school soccer league. It is a district level league in which several schools participate.

"tch!! We haven't scored a single goal!!" my teammate Shiho yelled in frustration.

It was understandable. Right now we are losing this match. We are yet to score a goal. Since we have already lost semi final, this is the last chance for them to prove  themselves.

The thing is that recently our schools volleyball team went to nationals. Seeing their success, our principal raised our funds. But there was a condition that we had to at least take third spot here, otherwise we will not get funds again.

Shiho is very  pasinate about soccer. He was the ace of this team.

When I first joined the team, he thought I was getting special treatment because of my father.

Did I mention that he had already revealed my identity and now I was getting something that I always escaped from, that is attention.

Anyway, getting back to topic, soon I proved him wrong because of my success and became new ace of team. But after seeing my play he said that I'm now his rival and he will beat me one day. This is the most confusing part which I don't understand.

[The score is 2-0. Karasuno is losing here. Can they do something in the second half. We are soon going to find out.]

I heard the commentator. Well let's get back to the game. The team in front of us is Kamomedai. We are behind by two goals with second half to start in few minutes.

[A lot will depend on karasuno's ace. Let's see what can masterpiece do.]

Masterpiece, I sighed as I remember how I got this nickname.

Flashback

I was going back after the match but then a reporter stopped me.

"Hello, Mr. Ayanokoji. How would like to describe your performance in this match?" She asked me.

"Well there wasn't much to do, we won by 5-1 but I hope that quarterfinals would give me more challenge to prove that I'm not just riding on my father's back." It was prepared by him. Even though I didn't wanted to say this, I had no choice.

"But the next team is strong contender for winning, do you think you would be able to win easily?"

"Well, I'm something of a Masterpiece  myself you know." Saying that I walked away.

Present

I still get cring after thinking what I said back there. After that I'm mostly refered to as masterpiece.

Even though my team is losing the game for third place, I'm still the top scorer of tournament with 12 goals.

"Guys get ready, second half is going to start. Focus on getting the ball and tight the defence in the back. Don't let them score anymore." Our coach gave us halfhearted useless suggestion. Looks like he has also lost hope.

We walk out on field and spread out in our position.

"Shiho."

"hm?"
