Saving Grace [Inazuma Eleven Ares x OC]

New Recruit

The next morning came, I groggily open my eyes, fighting myself to stay awake.I lazily yawned, stretching my arms

"Didn't sleep much last night Yosano san?"Hiura asked beside me.I nodded not even bothering to respond

We were on our way to the clubroom when I saw a small glimpse of grey locks around the corner.I adjusted my eyes, my drowsiness suddenly washes away

There's no way he's here right?..I thought. I blinked a few times checking if I was dreaming but he was gone

"Are you sure you're okay Yosano san?"Norika asked, concerned.

"I'm alright just feeling sleepy it's all"I assured her, rubbing the back of my head

"Michinari is hospitalized and won't be present in the next match, what are we gonna do?!"Goujin said

"Calm down"Hiro told him

"You think I can just calm down?!"Goujin shouted spiraling in panic

"Quiet down Goujin.We're still eleven players and our opponent in the next match will be Outei Tsukinomiya.It'll be tough if we don't have a reserve player in the team"I explained

"Yosano san's right but you know it's pretty amazing how far we've come since then"Mansaku chimes in

"We gotta start looking for new members now"Golem said

"Maybe we can ask around some students who has experience with soccer?"Asuto suggests

"Let's give it a try!"Hanta said

Right on cue, I heard my eleven band beep.My eyes widenned."It's from coach!"I shouted getting the team's attention.It says he's already found a new member

"Such perfect timing"Hiura said

"What a relief"Hiro sighed

"Thank goodness!"Norika smiled

"For once, he's doing his job as coach!"Goujin said

We entered the clubroom, to our surprise there stood 2 figures standing at the center

"Kidou and Haizaki?!"Asuto said shocked

"Allow me to introduce you. This is your new teammate, Haizaki Ryouhei"Kidou said.We looked at them surprised

"Huh?!?!"Everyone shouted

"Haizaki? Why?!"Asuto asked

"What's going on?"Hiura said confused

Just then, Coach Kameda, Ootani and Anna also enters the clubroom

"Kidou kun already took care of the paperwork. Haizaki kun will be transferring to Raimon and joining the Raimon soccer club" Coach explains to us

"F-for real?!"Goujin said

"That's allowed?"Hiro asked

"You didn't know that? It says it here in the rules and regulations"I state."But I didn't know you can transfer to another team during the tournament?"

"Since both teams both teams are ranked at the same level, if both teams' coach consent to it prior to the tournament's opening day, one player is allowed to transfer" Kidou further elaborates

"Huh? The consent of both coaches?" Hiro said

"Coach Kudou and Kidou kun here came to me before the tournament to talk about the plan" Coach said

"So you had anticipated this would happen from the start?"I asked to coach

"No, no it was Kidou kun who anticipated it. Only on the off chance that Seishou lost, of course!"Coach answered
