Monday

January, 25, 20xx

Time: 12: 14 AM

In Tokyo's biggest stadium, the annual inter-school soccer championship is about to end between two fierce rivals, Ohtori High from Saitama and Sakura High from Tokyo, led by captains Takeshi and Aiko. The remains time is only 12 minutes, and Sakura High seems to be in a struggle since they are trailing behind for two goals from their opponent. Right now, they must mount a miraculous comeback if they hope to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

Audiences: "GO SAKURA HIGH, GOOOO!"

Audiences: "GO ASHAHI! THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE!"

Ashahi: 'National, National, National...'

Ashahi: 'If I win...Then I could start dreaming about becoming a real soccer player...'

Ashahi: 'Just like him.'

Ashahi, Sakura High's number 9 player, currently has the ball in his feet and casually dribbles it through one opponent... then another and another.

Ohtori player 10: "Damn it, someone stops that guy!"

Ashahi: 'National, win it. National!'

Ashahi dribbles forward confidently until he encounters three opponents blocking his path.

Ohtori player 3: "Playtimes over, brat. We won't let you score again!"

Ohtori player 4: "You're good but unlucky you're alone."

Ohtori player 7: "Thank goodness you're the only one who's strong, or else we wouldn't have scored three goals."

All three: "HAHAHAA!"

Ashahi: "Shut up. Don't get in my way."

Throughout the match, Asahi has been the MVP, a driving force for his team, carrying them on his back for over 78 minutes. Unfortunately, his opponents have identified him as the main threat, making it challenging for him to score goals, especially now that he's closely marked and unable to make his usual skills in the game.

Sakura player 6: "ASHAHI, OVER HERE! PASS IT TO ME!"
