Reo clenched his fist, angry with Nagi and himself for almost giving in right then and there. "...What the hell is that. Don't you really have any imagination when it comes to others?"
"...What do you mean?" The clueless friend questioned.
"I'm saying, don't you think about my feelings..." Nagi still didn't quite understand. "Huh...What are you-"
"I've had to crawl up without being chosen many times over and when I've finally decided to keep fighting and to get stronger on my own...Don't talk to me as if you can manipulate me with your ever-changing feelings!"
"That's not what I'm saying."
"...Huh?" Nagi realized at that moment, his actions could've been misleading, so he begun to explain. "Since the day you invited me to play soccer, I've always been with you. We've promised right. We're gonna win the world cup together. I just keep the best choices to make that happen."
"What..." Reo's face showed incredible amounts of disbelief.
"During the Second Selection, I thought I would be strong when I was with Y/N, so that's what I did. I grew, yeah, and he grew even more. Just like when I chose England. Because I want Agi and Chris to teach me, that's what I did. And just like before, he's grown more than I did. And now it's you, Reo." Reo was rapidly losing his anger as Nagi finished, "We couldn't beat him before but now that you and I have crawled up to the peak...I think we can beat Y/N."
The copycat looked to the ground, unsure of what he should feel. "Ah. For real...you're really a fucking selfish bastard."
Nagi ignored the insult and kept going, "Just imagine it, Reo. Our new soccer."
"You're a pain. You really are the biggest pain in the ass..." That's all he could after Nagi broke it down for him, throw insults in some vain way to push Nagi away.
Nagi's eye's drooped, becoming a bit annoyed with Reo's stubbornness. "You're the one who's a pain. We're thinking the same thing...right? The Thrill."
"...Is that your ego?" Reo was having a hard time keeping his resolve strong against what he assumed to be Nagi's overbearing "ego".
Reo could no longer deny Nagi. The dream he thought was discarded was brought back, better than ever. "Hah. Seriously...I get it. You're a real pain in the ass." Reo wrapped an arm around Nagi's shoulder, walking with him to restart. "Let's player soccer."
On the side, his arms crossed and a flat line twitching upwards for a second, Y/N eyes closed in acknowledgement. 'This selection...is so damn tiring. You really know what you're doing, Ego.'

"The score is now 2-1! Will P.X.G be able to finish the game strong!? Or will Manshine C catch up!? Game Restart!!!"
-RESTART-
The starting began with Manshine C. Nagi's side-pass to Agi started the round as they charged forward. The giant AM's was a bit busy in his head over Nagi's progression. This being the second match and half-way over, the talented striker still hadn't experienced his growth spurt yet...'
"Man, there's a lot of annoying, troublesome guys out here." He muttered while dribbling forward. How on earth was he supposed to know all of these youngsters were going to be such problems!?
"You're one to talk..." Rin remarked, stopping Agi from going any further. "...did you forget your own damned self?"
"Ohyo?" It wasn't a challenge he was expecting, nonetheless, he would take the opportunity presented to him eagerly.
