Y/n slowly breathed in and breathed out, eyes staring at all the players and how Rin and Sae fought for the ball.

'Don't think, Y/n...Snap out of it...Don't think about all those useless rules everyone told you...You don't have to be a slave to the expectations of being in a team!' He thought, gritting his teeth as he stayed still.

"So long as you're still hung up on being my brother..." Sae started.

"You'll never be able to surpass me." He finished, running past Rin.

'A nutmeg cross elastico?!' Isagi recognized.

–––––

"He's through! Itoshi Sae's broken through the midfield! Round one of the brothers goes to the elder!" Tereasa exclaimed as the crowd cheered.

"Win, ya moron, goddamn eyelashes." Karasu clicked his tongue.

"They're coming. The opponent's coming in droves! Stay vigilant on the line of defense, Niko boy!" Aryu warned.

"Yessir!" Niko nodded.

His eyes seemed to glow as they peeked from behind his bangs, watching the field and the approaching players.

'I need to detect all of the players who are trying to link up with Itoshi Sae! Not focusing on the one who currently has the ball, but rather on the others squirming around him! Quickly and accurately locate the most dangerous trespasser and exterminate them!'

As Karasu appeared in front of Sae, the latter kicked the ball over to Sendo who was running towards the goal.

When Sendo bumped it up a bit, he grew surprised as Niko ran forward, not allowing him to react in time as he kicked the ball away from the goal.

"Nice, Niko!" Isagi yelled.

"Second ball!" Niko shouted, landing on the ground.

"Here we go, goddamnit. Time t' counter, dumbasses!" Karasu said, taking control of the ball.

"Here he comes." Hayate said to himself.

"That Kansai dude sure does bitch a lot." Niou commented.

Karasu approached, but slowed down as Hayate slid in front of him, defensively. Looking around, the other defenders waited.

'There are no weak spots.' Karasu mused.

"So I'll just have to make one." He voiced.

'I'll shoot my greatest weapon...Go, Otoya!'

Otoya was sprinting on the right of Karasu and as he got farther ahead, he jumped to receive a pass.

"Breaking through, Karasu." He said.

"Let's see you try, trash ninja. I could hear your "stealthy steps" from miles away." Darai said.

"I never said I'd do it alone." Otoya said, hitting his back against the male's chest.

Darai was surprised and Otoya took advantage by passing the ball before spinning past.

'Good! Raise your speed and get past him!' Karasu thought, quickly returning the pass.

"Not bad. You two make a good duo." Darai said, running beside Otoya.

"But we're still evenly matched."

Otoya only clicked his tongue.

'And finally...their critical safeguard.' Karasu thought, watching as Oliver came sliding in front of Otoya.
