𝐑𝐄𝐎 𝐒𝐎𝐎𝐍 got a yellow card for elbowing Raichi in his neck and Chigiri had the ball. He and (M/n) had a race to see who was faster and because of Chigiri's awakening, he beat (M/n), earning Team Z's third goal.

(M/n) sulked back to his teammates. He didn't like where things were going. The same could be said for a certain member of Team Z who was not participating, Wataru Kuon.

In his eyes, Team V was supposed to be in the lead and on their way to victory, but now it was 3-3.

"I suck so bad..."

"Hey, (M/n), don't beat yourself up about it." Reo put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "You did great, we'll just get them next time."

(M/n) smiled slightly, "Yeah, and you just make sure not to get another yellow card."

"Hah, no promi--"

"What are you doing Team V!!? Stop messing around idiots!!" Kuon yelled at them, interrupting their conversation. "Losing to just 10, aren't you embarrassed!!? Dumbasses!!"

(M/n) frowned upon hearing that. He felt like going right over there and punching him in his oh so punchable looking face, but he didn't want to get a yellow card, so he held in that urge.

"Keep quiet, trash..." Reo spat.

The game started and Reo had the ball. His mind was racing with the thought of losing. He didn't want that.

"Is losing so scary?" Raichi, who was now in front of him, asked. "I'll give you your first loss!"

Reo looked around. He was scared. Scared of losing his soccer career and his friends. Nagi was being marked by Igarashi and Yudai, while (M/n) was being marked by Chigiri and Bachira. Not to mention, Isagi was in a position to get any loose ball.

(M/n) was also terrified. This would be his first loss since he started playing soccer. Nagi glanced at (M/n) and Reo, he didn't like what he saw. He didn't like their petrified faces, especially (M/n)'s.

"(M/n)...Reo..." Before he knew it, he pushed past Igarashi and Yudai and ran to an open spot. "Pass to me!"

Both Reo and (M/n) were surprised to see this. Since when did Nagi call out for a pass? Regardless, Reo passed the ball to him.

"Reo, I'll give it a try." His eyes were different from before. Now, they held something in them. "Don't worry, (M/n). I'll save us."

With that, Nagi was gone. No one stood a chance against his awakening. (M/n) ran past Bachira and Chigiri and to a more open spot so Nagi could pass. Once, he did, he took off running with the ball with Chigiri right on his tail.

"(M/n)! I'll trust you to do a dirty one in front of the goal!"

"Shiro-- This is the first time you demanded something of me. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, prince."

(M/n) blinked a few times, confused, but his mind went back to the game when Chigiri suddenly slid on the ground to tackle the ball. (M/n), however, suddenly pushed the ball backward and kicked it up high in the air to Nagi who was waiting in front of Team Z's goal.

He caught the ball, but facing the wrong way. Those around him wondered how in the world would he score from that angle. That was until Nagi spun around, kicking the ball to the rear side of the goal.

"Shiro..." (M/n) started, "You're so cool, dude!"

"Hmm, soccer is interesting, huh?" Nagi turned to Reo, who was flabbergasted, "How many more points should I get?"

"One more point, Nagi. If we get one more point, we'll win."

"One more," Nagi repeated.

        𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋, 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 didn't get one more, Team Z did. Kunigami scored, making them a tie once again. This was all too nerve-racking for (M/n), but he had an idea.

"Hey, Reo, Shiro..." He whispered something into their ear and they both nodded in approval. Nagi, who had the ball, kicked it across the field. (M/n) was already running for it, too.

Team Z was panicking once more, if (M/n) got to the ball, no doubt he would score and they would lose.

"Nice, Shiro. Nice aim."

"I thought the ball would land here, too." A voice spoke. (M/n) snapped his head in the direction of the voice, only to see, "Yoichi?"

"On the field, Team Z's current weak point is right here!"

"You're fascinating, Yoichi." (M/n) chuckled to himself. "Stop him, Isagi!!" Members from Team Z yelled. They were all desperate at this point.

As the ball landed, (M/n) caught it while Isagi was debating whether he would go left or right. But to his surprise, he kicked it forward, picking up his pace, much faster.

(M/n) felt the blood pump faster in his body. Was this his awakening? Either way, it was now a one-on-one match with the goalkeeper and he would definitely win it. He would lead Team V to their victory.

His leg went backward, he was getting ready to take the shot when a hand grabbed his face. Their arm wrapped around his neck as they tackled him to the ground.

It was Kuon.
