3.36. The Final Day (Part 2)

On the sidelines, sitting in the stands with the rest of the Manshine players, Yukimiya watched the game.

Something was wrong. Yet, the majority of the assembled people didn't seem to notice as the game restarted.

Immediately, Kaiser and Ness took off with the ball. As usual, they formed a triangle with Grim, passing between them as they slowly made their way upfield.

But PXG had found a way to counter it. Four players converged on the trio. Two of them went for Kaiser. One of them marked Grim. And the last one, Zantetsu, approached Ness slowly. At the last second, he took off incredibly fast, sliding and knocking the ball away.

PXG moved to pick up the ball. Yet, Hiori was faster, scooping it up before any of them could. He made to shoot-

And Charles was behind him. The young boy rested a hand on his shoulder, pinky finger poking Hiori's cheek as he whispered something into his ear. Then he took off, flying down the pitch.

Right. So if Charles outread Hiori like that... that means he has metavision. And incredible passing on top of that... Yukimiya leant forward in his chair. How can I work around him to score my own goal?

Raichi tried to intercept.

Charles didn't even bother dribbling past him. They approached each other. And with a flawless motion, mid run, he swung for the ball.

With the outside of his foot, he made the pass. A demonic pass, arcing right around Raichi in a wild banana shape. It curved, going around one, two, three Bastard players and finally reaching its target. Shidou Ryusei.

Yukimiya's stomach dropped. That kind of pass... the only other person he could even think of doing something like that was Sae Itoshi. Nobody else could even come close.

And the worst thing was, even as Kunigami surged forwards, jumping high to intercept the pass, Charles didn't look bothered by it. The ball bounced away to Ness. And Charles just stood there and shrugged.

"Wow." He was close enough for Yukimiya to hear. "Pretty cool." So nonchalant, even though the incredible pass had been for nothing. It was chilling. Charles was nothing short of a prodigy.

Ness passed to Grim. Grim sent the ball, as usual, to Kaiser. And intercepting it, struggling against each other as they overtook Kaiser to the ball, was Kunigami and Shidou.

Kunigami got the upper hand, bouncing the ball away to Raichi. Yukimiya noted the furious expression on Shidou's face.

Raichi jumped. Trapped the ball on his chest. And, flying in from the side, Charles was right there again.

He was everywhere. Hiori and Isagi were trying to contain him, and PXG was trying to get the ball rolling, but it didn't matter what anyone else did. Whatever Charles wanted to do, he could. Nobody could stop him.

He was a demon. An uncontrollable, unpredictable agent of chaos. In a strange way, Yukimiya could compare him to Y/N. Neither of them liked to be tied to anyone. They preferred to play solo, going only for what they wanted. And, unlike a lot of people, the thing they wanted wasn't always a goal.

Like now. Charles's passes were good enough to be shots. But instead, he always chose to give the ball to teammates, namely those that were the most interesting. Like Shidou.

Rin drew level with him. Yukimiya could only watch. Hiori followed as fast as possible behind them both. In front, Isagi was ready.

He'll pass to his teammate, like always! Yukimiya mentally yelled. Get Rin!
