The time has arrived for the match against Tonegawa Tousen was about to begin.Everyone in the stadium kept chanting Endou's nameThere stood the legendary goal keeper himself, Endou Mamoru.I feel my nerves suddenly return.Can we really do this?
"Yo Yosano!"I heard my name was called.I looked up who, it was Endou..approaching me?!
"H-hey.."I dryly greeted, he instantly noticed I was nervous.He held my shoulder and his face had a grin
"Loosen up! Here give me your hands"I showed him my hands, they were shaking
"Here's a little trick I learned to shake up those nerves"He clasped my hands hard.I shut my eyes from the sudden pain.I opened my eyes slowly and saw my hands weren't shaking anymore
"It worked!"I exclaimed
"See! Let's start over I'm-.."
"Endou Mamoru, the legendary goalkeeper!"I smiled."You're pretty famous y'know"
He lightly chuckled."I guess so.."he scratches the back of his head."I've watched your matches since your debut.You were amazing!"
"So I've heard..Kazemaru told me back then"I lightly chuckled.His eyes widenned
"Oh you know Kazemaru!"He beamed.I hummed in reply.We heard the referee whistle and signals us both to get in our positions
"Looks like it's about to start.Let's do our best!"He shouted
"We won't disappoint this time Endou!"I shouted, I saw him had the biggest smile in his face
--
As always I'm placed as midfielder replacing Hanta.The match starts with the ball on our side.We continued doing passes evading our opponent which was a good start
Asuto passes the ball to me and I dribble the ball.I saw Goujin waving his arms catching my attention
"Yosano san pass it to me!"Goujin said
"Here!"I passed the ball to his direction.Goujin uses this opportunity to shoot the ball it and got blocked by Endou
"Give it to me I'll do it!"Kozoumaru said stealing the ball from Goujin.He uses his hissatsu technique Fire Tornado but Endou stops it just by a kick
He stopped it on his own..I sweatdropped.He really upholds his title..
The game started again with ball on the opponent's side.The ball was under the red haired boy which I learned was Sakanoue
"Isn't he a defender?"Hiura asked
"No, he's a libero just like Mansaku"I answered
"What?!"Hiura said shocked
Sakanoue was almost near the goal
"Keep your guards up!"Hiura said
"He's a striker pretending to be a defender!"I shouted
Sakanoue gets through Golem easily and kicks the ball to the goal thankfully Norika blocks it
"I won't let you score that easily!"Norika said
I saw Hiura and Mansaku approach Golem
"Hey Golem! Stop staring off into space! You didn't even buy us some time!"Mansaku shouted
"Is that what you think? Golem wasn't the only one he got past!"Hiyori argued
"They're much stronger than expected.."Hiro commented
"This isn't the time to be commenting them!"Hiura said to Hiro
"Hey!Hey! Everyone this is just the beginning of the match we shouldn't let this divide us!"I shouted catching the team's attention
The game started again.Hiura got the ball and used his hissatsu technique "Ice Arrow" to shoot the ball towards the goal
"A shoot using ice arrow?!"Hiyori said surprised
Endou used his hissatsu technique "Majin the Hand" and successfully blocked it from entering the goal
"What are you doing?! Pass the ball to me before you go pulling a worthless technique!"Kozoumaru yelled, Hiura just ignores him
The game continues with the ball under Sakanoue.He dribbles the ball and pass the ball to one of his teammate with long green hair
The boy with green hair used a combo hissatsu technique with the gray haired boy called "Heaven's Dragon".Norika tries to stop it using her hissatsu technique "Uzumaki the Hand" but it passes through.Tonegawa Tousen earns a point
"Incredible! Tonegawa Tousen wins the first goal!"The commentator said
After that we heard the whistle, indicating the first half was over.I was about to walk towards the bench when Captain stops me
"Yosano san..I can't do it.I'm not strong enough..I failed the team as captain"Captain said, his head low
"You shouldn't give up just yet Captain this match isn't over!"I shouted
"She's right y'know"A voice spoke we looked up.It was Endou who had a determined look in his eyes
"Endou.."Both me and Captain muttered
"You're Raimon's captain, Michinari right?"Endou asked
"You know about me?"Captain asked
"Of course I do"Endou replied
The second half begins with the opponent being in sync and kept passing the ball.The others couldn't keep up
Their team really is united..I thought
I saw Captain speak with Asuto.That's when he turns around and catches our attention.It seems his conversation with Asuto inspired him to give the team a motivational speech
"All right everyone! We're up against the strongest opponent there is, Endou Mamoru! Let's enjoy soccer to it's fullest!"Captain said.I smiled
It's just like what Froy said..looks like the pressure got in my head too..I thought
"Okay!"All of us said
The game started with the ball under my feet.I used my hissatsu technique "Skyfall" I shouted.Endou used his hissatsu technique as well.Before the ball could enter the goal Goujin redirect kick it but Endou still blocks the shoot
I heard Endou heavily sighed."That almost got me!"He smiled
"They got through Majin the Hand's defense range!"Asuto said
"Incredible he blocks Raimon's offense once more! Can Raimon do nothing against the invincible goalkeeper, Endou Mamoru?!"The commentator said
