Saving Grace [Inazuma Eleven Ares x OC]

Captain's Duty

The next day, we were all getting ready for school. I dreaded this day would come.I internally sighed.

I heard Asuto and Mansaku yawn beside me." What's wrong you two, didn't sleep much last night?"Norika asked

"I couldn't sleep thinking about the semifinals and stuff.."Asuto replied

We saw the town's people were putting up banners and signs, congratulating our victory

"If it isn't the Raimon Eleven, what do you think?"A man asked, he was helping up putting on the banners

"So cool.."I muttered it seemed the man heard me and chuckled.This was a first for me and it was amazing

"I'm sending this to mom!"Norika said taking out her phone

"Send it to me too!"I smiled

"Okay!"Norika replied

"Do your best we're cheering for you"said another man helping out with the banner

We were then called by the headmaster of the academy, our sponsor told us that if we win the championship there would be a tour in Inakunijima with merch that comes along with it

We were on our way to class when we saw..the student council?Not this again..I sighed already preparing for the worst

"Congratulations!"They all cheered

Eh?..I thought

"What?.."Everyone in the team were just as confused as me

"We've completely become your fans"The one with the glasses spoke

A student council gives a love letter to Hiyori while Goujin was given a gift by them.Hiura also seemed to gain a fan from the student council

"Yosano san.."A shy voice spoke, they gave me a box of chocolates as a gift."Y-you were pretty cool back then..and I thought you'd l-like these.."

If they think I could easily be swayed by mere sweets then...they're right

"Thank you"I replied with a smile it seemed to fluster the girl and hide behind Anna.I chuckled by her response

The student council then proceeded to apologize about their behaviour and how they mistreated us on the first day.There's no point in holding grudges so we accepted their apology

"Keep it up and we're confident that you will win the tournament!!The student council will be preparing an extravagant victory party for you!"The girl with glasses said.They cheered for us before they began to leave

"They only said mean stuff to us until now.."Mansaku said

"Well I suppose it's a case of continue to work hard and one day you'll be recognized.."Anna said

Let's just hope we win this whole thing but after that last match.It'll get tougher here.We'll need to train more to get stronger

We were all gathered in the clubroom.Coach appears and announces our next match will be..

"Your next opponent is Tonegawa Tousen!"Ootani spoke

"The same school where the legendary goalkeeper, Endou Mamori, acts as their reinforcement committee member!"Coach further explains

Now I'm excited and nervous..I didn't expect our opponent would be him.I mean we've come so far but I didn't realize this far

Goujin asked Ootani about giving one of his weaknesses and such.For one thing I learned he's not great at studies and he's a bit hot blooded.Seems to check out what Kazemaru said
