"Also you can't use your hands..".

"Those are the rules". And with the monitor now switched off, the game has now commenced.

________________________________________________

The monitor now showed an icon of who's now 'IT'. Many rush towards the door, trying to open it and escape the facility while others complained and stood still.

You swallowed a lump down your throat as you now begin your stance. 'If I ever become it until the end of the game then I'll be sure to return home...'

'I don't mind returning home since I have my responsibilities there... but mom and my little siblings are waiting for me.. not to return with my dreams left to wisp.. but for me to return with me accomplishing my dreams..'

You clenched your fists for a brief moment before taking a deep breath. Your attention now is on the upcoming ball, you quickly dashed to the side as the one who's 'IT' came to your direction.

'Even with him dashing back and forth... he can't shoot anyone with his aim... his stance is off as well... I might be able to pass this selection.. but I won't let my guard down..'

But as you were deep in thought, you didn't realize the ball sprinting to your direction. You were too busy in your inner thoughts that you didn't feel the ball bouncing on your head.

Then a certain scent came, but you weren't quick enough to dodge the impact.

Your eyes widened as you felt the recoil of the ball on your head but instead of it landing on your feet as expected it to be, it instead bounced through the walls and ceiling.

"Oi!". One quickly dashed to the side upon seeing the ball come to their direction.

"What the-!". One ducked.

"Tsk". One gritted their teeth in annoyance now the ball is being unpredictable.

"Woah!". One avoided the ball with ease but was somewhat impressed.

"The hell scarface!?". One with pointy teeth yelled as he pointed at you with pure annoyance.

With the ball being unpredictable it now leaves many to sprint away from their positions while keeping a close eye on the ball as it now returned to Igaguri.

For a second the screen now shifted the icon to yours but it quickly returned to Igaguri. A pained yelp escaped his lips as his nose is now bleeding while having a bruise on his cheek.

"I-.. I'm sorry!". You bowed for a moment as you felt a sense of guilt for hurting him in the process, but a sense of relief when you weren't 'IT' anymore.

'I almost let my guard down there...' You thought as you wipe the cold sweat off your face.

Igaguri's eyes narrowed while his eyes now wandering. "Tsk... This is harder than it was supposed to be".

But as the ball wandered from his grasp he begins to follow the direction of the ball, but with that he spotted a certain individual.

Then his eyes are now fixated on a sleeping player on the floor. He grinned as he dashed to the sleeping male's direction.

"Hahha! You!".

"You still asleep?! You're mine!". But before he could shoot the ball, he was approached by a hard kick on his face.

"Gahh!". He quickly took a step back to wipe his bleeding nose with his face now met with more bruises than earlier.

"Hey!! This is foul, right!?! Tsk..". He whined.
