Author's POV~
The morning of Day 4 arrived with a crisp breeze sweeping across Elliptical Island, carrying the faint scent of salt from the surrounding sea.
The stadium buzzed with anticipation as the crowd gathered for another thrilling match in the Japan Football Frontier Tournament.
Today's clash featured Raimon Jr. High against Lunar Prime Academy—two teams known for their contrasting styles of play.
Before the Match~
Annaliese Throndson, the ever-mysterious midfielder of The Dynasty Rulers, was uncharacteristically quiet as she slipped out of the dormitory before dawn. Clutching a small handbag, she navigated the island's hidden pathways, her usual smile replaced by a focused frown.
'Where is she going?'
Heath Moore, the sharp-eyed captain of Lunar Prime, observed from a distance as he warmed up near the stadium entrance.
He'd noticed Anna's absence during their usual pre-match banter with the other teams.
Something felt off.
The Match Begins~
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! I, YOUR BELOVED CHESTER, WELCOME YOU TO DAY FOUR OF THE JFF TOURNAMENT!" Chester's booming voice ignited the crowd.
"TODAY'S BATTLE PROMISES FIREWORKS! RAIMON JR. HIGH, THE LEGENDARY TEAM WITH A LEGACY OF MIRACLES, VERSUS LUNAR PRIME ACADEMY, THE SILENT STORM OF PRECISION AND GRACE!"
The whistle blew, and Raimon took the kickoff. Their star forward, Axel Blaze, darted through Lunar Prime's defense like a phantom.
"AXEL BLAZE WITH THE BALL—OH! WHAT A DODGE! HE SLIPS PAST WILLOW PROUDE LIKE HE'S NOT EVEN THERE!" Chester roared.
Mark's agility was otherworldly, but Lunar Prime wasn't called the "Silent Storm" for nothing. Their new midfielder, Hikaru, intercepted a pass with a gravity-defying slide.
"HIKARU TO WILLOW—WILLOW WITH THE LONG SHOT! BUT NO! RAIMON'S GOALKEEPER, MARK EVANS, PUNCHES IT AWAY WITH HIS GOD HAND!"
The first half was a relentless back-and-forth.
Raimon's teamwork shone, but Lunar Prime's tactical discipline kept them in the game. Yet, Heath's attention kept drifting to the Dynasty Rulers' seating section.
Annaliese had returned, but she sat motionless, her eyes vacant. Momentary smiles and smiles while talking to other members... but nothing more... No cheers, no playful taunts—just a statue in a hoodie.
'What's wrong with her?' Heath thought, narrowly missing a tackle as Nathan sped past him again.
Second Half~
Raimon's relentless pressure paid off.
"AXEL BLAZE WITH THE FIRE TORNADO! HE SPINS—HE SHOOTS—GOOOOOOOOAL! RAIMON TAKES THE LEAD!"
Lunar Prime fought back. Heath orchestrated a brilliant counterattack, weaving through defenders.
"HEATH MOORE WITH THE MOONLIGHT DRIBBLE! HE'S UNSTOPPABLE—WAIT! ENDOU'S MIGHTY DIAMOND HAND BLOCKS HIS SHOT!"
In the final minutes, Raimon sealed their victory with a header from their towering defender, Jack. The scoreboard flashed 3-2.
