Saving Grace [Inazuma Eleven Ares x OC]

Teikoku Academy

(Credit goes to @itokiri1223 from twitter)

We began talking strategy on how to defeat Teikoku Academy.Coach explained how they were the leading school in for 40 years

"They're that good"I sweat dropped.Ootani presented their strengths and data from previous matches.Showcasing their hissatsus

"Here is your training for your match against Teikoku!"Coach said."It seems I've been taking it quite easy on you until now.Today I will be doing traditional special training!"

"Special training?"Asuto asks

Few hours later, we were exhausted.The others began to head home while I stayed behind for extra training

--

"Dammit!"I yelled, my aim would always miss everytime I shoot.I did another this time it finally hit the mark.I hissed by the sudden pain on my ankle

"You know you shouldn't overwork yourself.."A voice was heard.It was Kazemaru

"Kazemaru!"I called."It seems we'll finally meet tomorrow like you said"

"I knew you'd get there!"He smiled."Why are you training alone?"

"I need to do better, Teikoku is known to be relentless that's why I need to practice"

"Are you free after?"He asks.I looked down, tapping my foot

"I'm finished now, why?"I asked

"Want to go eat? There's a ramen shop, I was about to go to"

--

"Welcome!"A voice said, the place was small but it felt warm and had a home feeling in it

"Wow this place is great"I said, sitting down on one of the seats

"I know right, I always go here after school"He replies, looking at the menu."I'll get a ramen with fried eggs please!"

"I think I'll try that one too!"I said to the cook

"Two orders of Ramen with fried eggs!"

"So Amari san, what made you decide to play soccer?"He asks while waiting our orders

"It's always been my passion since I was a little..I would practice near the riverbank everyday"

"You remind me of a friend of mine"He said."His name is Endou Mamoru, he really loves the sport and would practice by himself with a tire"

"A tire? Isn't that dangerous?"I asked concerned.He laughed a little

"That's what I said too but he's too stubborn to listen"

"How about you Kazemaru san?"

"I was originally from track team"He replied

"What changed your mind?"

"Well Endou asked me to be a member and I guess things happened there"

"He sounds like a great friend"

"He is, I think you'll meet him soon"

"Here's your order!"

We ate our food, we would occasionally talk about practice with our respective teams.He mentions a guy with a ridiculous haircut that would always cause trouble in their team

"He sounds like a hassle"I commented

"You have no idea..but I grew a bond with this team and I don't regret meeting them"

"That's good to hear"I smiled, thinking of mine

After we finished eating, we bid our goodbyes.I reached home and saw the others were already asleep
