Saving Grace [Inazuma Eleven Ares x OC] Book 1

Defense Only

Yosano Pov.

Things got back to normal again, we were currently training in the field.I caught a few stares from students, gossiping about our last match and such

"I forgot my towel, be right back"I told to Asuto

"Alright Yosano san"He replied

Hiding behind the nearest tree, I heard the girls from Mikado.Talking how we're only lucky and our luck is about to run out

I sighed, clearly not invested to hear another word from the group

"Yosano san"A voice called, it was Mikado.She stood there alone separated from the girls

"What is it come to make fun of us again?.."I asked, her eyes widenned."Don't act like I don't hear word around campus"

"I don't think you are fit to be Raimon"She said

"It's the shirt isn't it? It contrasts with my hair"I said picking up the cloth

"What?"She said confused

"I'm messing with you.."I replied." Does sense of humor not suit your character?"

"I meant you don't belong here with the others"

"Ever since we got here, we've been belittled and disrespected by your students..I don't care if you think we're worthy or not but I will surpass Raimon's expectations"I said leaving her and never looking back

Once returned we were called to gather up to the clubroom by the old man

"Your next opponent is known as the towering stronghold of the soccer world"He explains and it showed Minodouzan Jr. High

"Minodouzan.."Asuto muttered

"They sound like sumo wrestlers"Goujin said

"Goujin that's a terrible thought" -Hiro replied

"Minodouzan bounces back anyone who approaches them, so that not a single person can intrude into their end of the field.That's how they play soccer They're otherwise known as stronghold defense"Trainer kameda further explains.

"They sound scary"Golem quivered

"If all they do is defense, all we gotta do is attack"

"Don't be scared I'll crush them"Goujin said

"The match will be a week from today and there's only one thing you need to for training"Coach said."What do you think could that be? Click!"He pressed his phone and a timer started

Here he goes again..

"I know we'll train on crushing our opponent's defenses!"Asuto answered

"Wrong!"

"The answer is.."There was long drumroll until..

"By increasing your defenses!"

"Defense only?"Asuto asked

"I don't see how that will help break through their stronghold"Mansaku said

"Coach orders are final!"

"Wait a minute.That doesn't make sense defense and defense?We should be focusing on offense instead"Kozoumaru yelled, coach wasn't focusing on his words but his game instead

"Typical" I sighed, Kozoumaru stormed out the room.It seems he didn't want to practice afterwards

I can't blame him that old man is always so cryptic about his teaching methods..I thought

Afterwards we were given a lottery.Hiura and Golem won and were basically free for training today

The next morning
