Speaker: And now, Manchester City, please enter.

With Paris St. Germain's players already on the pitch, Manchester City's soon followed. Prince led his pack inside. Despite the loss from the previous game, Nagi, Chigiri, and Reo were going to increase their values against the one team that took a break. The player each of them visualized when it came to the challenge was...

Nagi: (Kiyotaka...)

Reo: (Kiyotaka...)

Chigiri: (Kiyotaka...)

This was their lineup:

As they all walked onto the field, Nagi, Chigiri and Reo were shocked at the appearance of a couple players on the bench.

Rin: Oh, it's you guys.

Nagi, Chigiri, and Reo: Rin!

Rin: You all look like you've seen a ghost. It's almost time for the match to start.

Reo pointed over at the bench.

Reo: Rin, why is Kiyotaka on the bench?!

Chigiri: He scored 2 goals last game and had the best value.

Nagi: I wanted to crush him...

Charles: Don't worry you guys. It's only gonna be for a bit. You'll get your chance at that Egoist's disciplinary lesson~.

Reo: You're the guy who connected with him. Why's he on the bench?

Now addressing the Elephant in the room, Loki sat his ass down on the seat next to Kiyotaka alongside the bench.

Karasu, Zantetsu and the rest took up the rest of the seats.

Loki: You really have terrible luck.

Kiyotaka sat there stoically, his hands gripping each other intensely. He ignored him.

Loki: Use the time to dissect the team. Once you enter, finish them off.

Kiyotaka sighed.

Kiyotaka: I already know their game plan. It's obvious just by looking at their starting formation.

...

*FLASHBACK TO LAST NIGHT*

...

Rin: This is stupid.

Kiyotaka: Just play along with it.

Rin: Tails.

Kiyotaka: Heads.

Loki, with the coin in hand, flicked it off his finger and into the air. Moments later, it landed on the ground.

Kiyotaka took one look at it and sighed while Rin remained stone-faced.
