Unleashed Natura: Wings, Paws, & Scales.

Chapter 4: Kaiser Impact.

“I don't know what comeback match you’ve won but, it's good seeing you again, Kunigami.”

“If you're looking for a dance partner— Bachira. I'll take the lead.”

“Last out trick!” Last out, meaning let your opponent do the first move then you follow.

‘HE FOLLOWED THAT!?’

‘He’s got great torso reflexes! Well then..’ Bachira thought before doing a wide area double touch.

‘Next, give him a bait then..’ He increased the tempo again to leave him behind. A double gear, double touch!

“Shi..”

“Muscles alone aren't enough, to be my dance partner.” Bachira successfully got past him, now he's off to face Grim and Gesner.

“How about this”

“I'll crush you, smegma.”

A quick glance, the forward and midfielder seemed to be driving in.

“Woah”

‘What a well done cover…’

Suddenly, bachira feigns a Dribble as he flicks the ball up with his right foot to a pass?

A mocking heel lift pass to be exact.

‘F-from over there..?!’ Hayato seemed bewildered. Before he could even spare a thought a voice interjected.

“Good work..Dancing Bee..let the melody flow now…theres always a rest in the note.”

All eyes on the benches went to Tsuruji Yaruko. His movements were…slow..yet he seemed to avoid and dribble past all the other players that came his way. His movements were smooth, graceful until the speed got up and his dribbling speed increased doing crazy mid-air juggles and finally a lob pass over to Otoya Eita.

It was a shock to everyone, he was moving so slow and yet no one could steal the ball? The quiet blue lock player who once went on a rampage and Ego had to lock him up. He had an image of not being sane.

‘How mysterious…I've heard of him before…’

“Ninpo off the ball, tiki-taka no jutsu.”

‘Otoya..?! Their linked…!! To Bachira's rhythm which was supposed to be…unreadable..’

Hayato watched, analyzing every movement in amusement.

“Nice session.”

Bachira now sprinted towards the goal…closer to the net..

“Bee shot.”

Bachira lifted himself off the ground switching his gravity and strength to his right foot as he twirled in the air and..BEEP! A goal..

‘It was a freestyle chemical reaction…incredible..What “free” and amusing, so this is “Spain's interesting football”, FC Barcha's team style!’

Hayato looked fascinated. This team's play style was completely different.

“VAMOS!”

Otoya, excited, jumped on Bachira's back.

Tsuruji was seen panting, walking back to position and clutching something.. in silence.

He then straightened himself up and looked around. He saw Chouka staring right at him. As they locked eyes, Chouka stared deep into his soul. Not daring to break off the eye contact. As they had their staring contest, Tsuruji easily saw the competitiveness in his eyes.

Noticing as Chouka wasn't planning on breaking the eye contact first, he did it himself and looked away.

Something.. something was off. Chouka gave Tsuruji a random feeling of weirdness, a churning type. Another glance at those eyes, Tsuruji knew something.. a part of something now.

His gazed softened. Knowing there's someone who he could somewhat relate to.

RESTART!!

Ness had the ball “Well, well, what are you gonna do now Kaiser?” He asked Kaiser who was in front of him as Chouka was running behind them both.

Kaiser answered with one word. “Execution.”

“Public execution it is.” Chouka and Ness answered in unison.

Chouka ran past them both, and past the FC Barcha players with incredible speed. As he ran by Tsuruji, they made brief eye contact until Chouka completely got past him.

Meanwhile, Kaiser moved up to the perfect position to create a pass course. And Ness stays at the perfect distance to pass at anytime.

With his ankle technique, he easily switch directions past an opponent.

“Tch, if I also had an impressive midfielder behind me.. I'd score a million goals too!”

Hayato looked at Raichi as he was then scolded by Isagi “Raichi!”

“That Kaiser bastard is just blessed by this system.. This whole team is just a farce..!”

‘..Yeah, sure, this team moves by irrational plays.. And perhaps the one player they're most centered.. Just so happens to be Kaiser.’

“Here they come!! Block out Ness’ course!!” The Barcha members all moved to block out his course, when suddenly.. He passed to Chouka.

The FC Barcha members panicked until they thought that it was too high for Chouka to reach.

When suddenly, it was as if he had grown wings. As he flew high up above the field, Tsuruji also jumped up high, yet he was still way too low to reach him and the ball. Chouka grinned down at him, before he suddenly leaned back and did a flip mid air.

He kicked the ball towards Kaiser's direction who was already infront of the goal after he stealthily got past all the FC Barcha members who were all too captivated in Chouka's play.

Kaiser successfully trapped Chouka's pass. When suddenly, FC Barcha’s Bachira arrived.

“Man, that's rad. Both that gold hair,
And that blue rose tattoo.”

“It makes me wanna break ya.”

Kaiser avoided a direct shot to get rid of Bachira, and did a fake out. Now after trapping the ball, as soon as it lands, he'll..

?!!

Hayato's eyes widened as he saw Kaiser's shot.

‘So fast!!’

GOAL!!!

“Executed.”

Hayato's mind was in circles, he was beyond amazed by the Trio’s cooperation. And their individual skills themselves.

He lost sense of the things that are happening near him. As he was too focused staring at the trio as they celebrated Kaiser's goal.

Meanwhile on the pitch, Riku was clenching his fists. So far, he was being ignored by everyone. Even by his teammates.

He felt useless, he's done absolutely nothing. He bit his lip.

‘I’ll make sure they notice me during this match.’
