Crushed

Kiyoshi POV

We all returned to our positions ready for the game to resume.
Saramadara: "You claim that wasn't a good play, well I'll show you a good one by riding the waves."
Kiyoshi: "Only wave your riding is the one to your defeat."
He smacked his teeth before kicking the ball back to his teammate and receiving it back immediately.
I immediately rush at him, catching hin off guard.  He attempted to spin away but I followed him, leaving him nowhere to go. He then attempted to cut the other way only for the ball to be taken from his feet by Zeijre. Saramadara immediately tried to stop him, but Zeijre did a quick feint to the left then continued dribbling to the right before another defender tried to stop him. He almost immediately spun past him and passed the ball to Hiori who was running with a defender next to him. I began pressing forward, Saramadar leaving me uncovered to help his teammate stoo Hiori. Once Saramadara approached Hiori, he passed it to Zeijre who was getting marked by a defender. Hiori ran forward attempting to get a bit of space. Zeijre passed it to Hiori who was immediately pressed by the two defenders. I watched as Hiori turned his back against Saramadar, blocking him from the ball. He then nutmegged him, sending the ball at my feet at an amazing rate. I trap the ball nicely and immediately shot the ball, it was only me and the Goalie after all. I shot with my left foot into the left bottom corner of the goal. The ball rocketed past the Goalie he dove to save it.

2-0 Team Black

𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: 𝑲𝒊𝒚𝒐𝒔𝒉𝒊 𝑿 𝑯𝒊𝒐𝒓𝒊

Kiyoshi: "That was pretty good right there."
Zeijre: "We can do better though."
Kiyoshi: "A lot better."
Hiori: "Then let's do exactly that. Let's crush them completely."

~•TIMESKIP•~
We did exactly that, winning 5-0 without losing the ball a single time.
Everyone from Saramadara's team was panting hard and on the ground catching their breath.
Random: "These guys are monsters!"
Saramadara: "Shit, they're good."
Hiori: "So who do we take now?"
Zeijre: "Saramadara obviously, I mean he didn't really do anything either but it's better to get someone we know is at least decent."
Kiyoshi: "I've got no objections."
Ego: "Then it's settled, Kairu Saramadara moves on with Kiyoshi's team, you other two girls down to the 2nd stage."
We all nodded and headed through the doors labeled 4th Stage.
Kiyoshi: "Saramadara, you'll need to play better than you just did."
Saramadara: "I couldn't do much with those guys as my teammates."
Hiori: "Then support yourself."
Zeijre: "Yeah, your team cant operate like ours. Kiyoshi's the one who identified what we're good at and we just used our weapons to our fullest as a group."
Hiori: "Yeah, you guys had no cooperation. But don't worry, we're on your team now, we'll have to add you in our system."
Kiyoshi: "I'll figure it out next game."
We reach the next stage, not seeing many teams. I did notice one team, it was Itoshi Rins team.
Kiyoshi: "Let's play them"
Saramadara: "You sure? That's 2, 3, and 4."
Kiyoshi: "You played me and in number 1."
Saramadara: "But that's Itoshi Rin, what if we lose?"
Kiyoshi: "We won't"
Zeijre: "What if we do though"
Hiyori: "They do have a point Kiyoshi."
Kiyoshi: "Quit acting scared."
I walked over towards Rin, ignoring my team if they had anything else to say. Rin quickly noticed me approaching him.
Kiyoshi: "Let's play a-"
Rin: "Nah, already got a match planned out, plus you've gotta wait 24 hours to play your next match anyway."
Kiyoshi: "SERIOUSLY?!"
Before he could speak, I stormed off back to my team.
Zeijre: "Looks like he said no"
Kiyoshi: "We have to wait 24 hours to play another match!"
Hiyori: "I thought he said no."
Kiyoshi: "He did, his team already has their next opponent."
Saramadara: "So who di we play?"
Kiyoshi: "The next team to walk through the door."
???: "Let's have a match."
A voice from behind me spoke. I turn around to see It was a guy with long black hair that covers his eyes. I have no idea how he can even see.
Kiyoshi: "Sure."
???: "Ikki Niko, surely are an interesting fellow."
A guy with black hair and glasses spoke, as he pushed his glasses up like an anime protagonist.
Zeijre: "Are you still trying to sound smart? Let it go Zantetsu, you're an idiot."
Kiyoshi: "You know him?"
Zeijre: "I know him and the long actually l, they're from the same Stratum as us. The long hair is Niko, Team X top scorer. Idiot here is Zantetsu, he's part if Team V as one of their top 3 scorers"
Kiyoshi: "Let's play them, We'll get somebody good if we do."
Niko: "Who said you were gonna win."
Kiyoshi: "Me, I'll kill your way of football and change it to my liking."
Zantetsu: "Bold words from a player who couldnt play a singular match."
Kiyoshi: "And because of that I'm now the number 1 ranked player. So are we playing or are we just gonna keep up this meaningless talk?"
Niko: "We accept your match, be prepared to be watched all game"
Kiyoshi: "Be prepared to watch your game of football be killed in your face."
Saramadara: "We'll ride the waves-"
Hiyori: "You lost 5-0 last time you said that."
Saramadara: ". . ."
Zeijre: "What're we supposed to do while we wait?"
Kiyoshi: "Daily Blue Lock things obviously. Train, play, wash, eat, sleep and repeat."
Niko: "We'll take our leave."
We both split our ways, heading to get ourselves cleaned up and eat as well.

~•TIMESKIP•~

We were now on the field, stretching, and preparing for out match against Ikki Niko and his team. Niko's teambwas in a light blue while we were in black again. I stretched my arms with my foot planted on the ball.
Kiyoshi: "Just like last time, fast paced gameplay. Saramadara fit in some kind of way. I'll figure out something for you to do."
He nodded in understatement.
Zantetsu: "It seems the opposition need a gameplan to stop our team. Plus you told us your play style."
Kiyoshi: "So? You can't stop it. Even if you do, you can't defeat me."
Niko: "I'll defeat you."
Kiyoshi: "That a challenge?"
Niko: "It is"
I nodded then turned towards my team before kicking Zeijre the ball. I immediately called for it back though. I trapped the ball while facing my team.
Kiyoshi: "You can all rest, I'll score the first point myself."
Everyone was shocked.
Zeijre: "You serious?"
Kiyoshi: "Yup, have a seat I'll handle this point."
Hiyori: "I'm not complaining."
He took a seat and the rest followed. Suddenly I see someone's foot reach for the ball. I immediately moved the ball out of the person's way by spinning away. I began rurnning off seeing the person was Zantetsu. I then seen another one of their teammates approaching me. I dont exactly know their name and there wasnt nothing special about him. I do a feint then cross the ball to my other foot, leaving the defender alone. The other defender didn't put up much of a fight either. The last one was Niko, he was their last line of defense, directly at the top of the penalty box. I attempt a feint but he reads it well, I then try to spin then run away from him but managed to keep up.
Niko: "You're pretty good, nothing special though."
I put my back against his chest blocking him from the ball, I try to get a view of the goal but he was basically blocking my view. Just the he moved out of the way and got to my side. I could see the net but that was a bit to easy. I look to my left and see Zantetsu sliding for the ball. That explains why Niko moved, they planned on counter attacking. I kick the ball up, catching Zantetsu off guard. I jump up almost doing a back flip, in the process I kick the ball towards the goal and land on my back.
Niko: "No way."
I quickly looked at the shot to see the ball blaze past the goalie and into the net.

1-0 Team Black

Kiyoshi: "You were saying?"
Niko: ". . ."
Kiyoshi: "Silent treatment? Don't worry. I'll turn you into an amazing player after I win. I'll pick you and make you my servant. ͓̽Y͓͓̽̽o͓͓̽̽u͓̽ ͓̽s͓͓̽̽h͓͓̽̽i͓͓̽̽t͓͓̽̽t͓͓̽̽y͓̽ ͓̽e͓͓̽̽x͓͓̽̽c͓͓̽̽u͓͓̽̽s͓͓̽̽e͓̽ ͓̽o͓͓̽̽f͓̽ a͓̽ ͓̽S͓͓̽̽t͓͓̽̽r͓͓̽̽i͓͓̽̽k͓͓̽̽e͓͓̽̽r͓̽"
