Chapter 8-Freedom In Meaninglessness

Hey everyone, I hope you are having a great day or had a great day if you are reading this at night, I just wanted to ask you to leave a vote if you enjoyed the chapter and leave a comment on what your thoughts about the chapter are. Anyway, have a good reading.

Y/n's POV

We're in the room we use to prepare for the upcoming matches, where we analyze game footage and come up with ourr tactics.

Iemon: Match 9 ended in a draw, with Team Y's Nikko scoring the equalizer against Team W. As a resullt Team Z is now in 2nd place with 6 points. And the only match left is ours which only means thing.

Igarashi: WE'VE ALREADY PASSED!!!

Naruhaya: WE ARE THE BEST!!

Everyone cheers except for me and Kuon. It's not that I'm not happy, I am very happy, there were tough times but we pulled through. It's just that Barou's words hit me a bit more than what I expected. In Kuon's case, well, he's an idiot and an asshole, there really isn't more to it.

Igarashi: But man, it's a miracle Team Y came away with a draw.

Chigiri: Come to think of it, was Nikko even the type to take on shots himself?

Bachira: Maybe he got inspired by a certain someone.

I feel a touch on my shoulder, what startles me, I look at the person that just touched my shoulder.

Isagi: Are you alright, Y/n? You seem a bit more spaced out. You are usually someone who is always with his head down to earth.

Y/n: Oh, don't worry, I'm fine. I've just been thinking about some things harder lately and that has distracted me.

Isagi nods at my answer, well, I'm glad it convinced him. It's not like I'm lying, I'm just not telling the whole truth. No one knows I trained with Barou the other day, and for now i don't plan to tell them.

Iemon: Anyway, let's move on to the key players of our final opponents, Team V

Igarashi: Do we really even have to play this match? We are already through so what does it change if we don't play?

Y/n: You'll miss out on an opportunity to improve your rank and ability by playing against strong opponents. So I don't wanna see anyone slacking off, we are going to be playing this game as if it was crucial and we are gonna win. Did I make myself clear?

Everyone: YES, Y/N!!!

I look at Iemon and nod, signalling for him to keep going. He clicks a button on the controller and the screen shows the image of the main trio of Team V.

Iemon: This trio has scored 18 goals in three games, thanks to their stupidly good attacking skills. Zanzetsu Tsurugi: 5 goals. Reo Mikage: 6 goals. And their team's top scorer, Seishiro Nagi: 7 goals. If we don't stop them scoring, we can't win.

So that's the genius Barou spoke about. The one that I can't beat if I don't "regain my freedom". I still don't know how to do that or what that means.

Later that day

I now stand alone on the locker room, facetiming the only person I like to call when I have doubts about something.

Akane: HOW YA DOING LITTLE BRO!!

Y/n: ONEE-CHAN, I MISS YOU!!

Yep, we are both very loud. But that's part of the magic. We talk for about an hour, with me telling everything that happened here and how every match went and with her updating me on the latest gossips that are going around.
