Team Red                vs               Team White

0               -               0

Finally, After several days of waiting, a team would fight yours.

Once more, it was Isagi's team; perhaps they were seeking retaliation, or maybe you.

There you were with your team, along with Isagi's team, on the field. There were new additions to their team, Chigiri and... Barou. You then remember how he confessed to you on your first match. It was rather an.. unfavourable memory, to say the least.

Chigiri's eyes were on you with a wistful expression. He continued to stare at you until Aryu interrupted him by taking his hair and playing with it with his fingers.

"hey, redhead.."

"What kind of conditioner do you use?"

"huh?" Chigiri muttered, clearly confused by the query.

"The one in the bathroom, same as everyone else.." He replied, annoyed by Aryu.

"But your cuticles are far too glam.. that means you have innate brilliance potential.."

"In that case, you must have natural glam.." Aryu continued as an irk mark appeared on Chigiri's face.

"Don't touch my hair!" He slapped away Aryu's hand, taking him aback.

"Oh, sorry. Your hair is just too beautiful. I obey the laws of glam. I'm honoured to have battled someone as glam as you, Hyoma Chigiri." He spoke while extending his hand in an apparent handshake gesture, as Chigiri did the same.

"You've got a pretty old-fashioned name for how you look. Let's have a great match, Jyubei-san," he uttered as aryu went wild.

"Stop! That name is so not glam!" He shouted, striking an exaggerated pose of despair.

He then continued to strike more glam poses, weirding out Chigiri as he approached you.

"H-hey, Y/n, what's his problem?" Chigiri whispered in your ear, getting too close to you for Rin to be comfortable with.

"Hm? Oh, It's normal, don't worry." You replied, giving him a little smile as Rin glared at Chigiri, pushing him away.

"Let's just get this over with.." Rin interrupted, putting himself in the middle of you two, glaring at Chigiri as Chigiri did the same before leaving you both.

"Sorry, Isagi. But can I make a request, too?" Nagi said.

"I want to play against number two. I want to get stronger... I want to beat the one who took Y/n."

"Okay, but if you lose, I'll be stepping in to crush him." Isagi grinned.

"Which means it's you and me, Bachira!"

. . .

Matchups: Rin vs Nagi, You vs Barou, Aryu vs Chigiri, Bachira vs Isagi.

. . .

As the whistles blew, Rin kicked the ball in Bachira's direction as Bachira sprinted toward team reds goal, doing a quick scissors move to throw Isagi off guard.

Bachira attempted to do a deep stepover feint to deceive Isagi as he made a quick turn after. As he realized Isagi had followed and anticipated his movements, his eyes widened in surprise before smirking in excitement.
