Japan's New Radiance

1st person POV:

After that soul crushing scream from Ichihoshi, I sprinted as fast as I could and pounced on the boy. We rolled over away from the meteor's crashing point and I laid there for a few seconds in a daze as the smoke produced by the meteor faded away and as soon as I got back to sense, I instantly knelled right next to my teammate and cradled his face as if he was the most fragile being in the world. What made me panic even more was the fact that he seemed to be unconscious.

"Ichihoshi, are you okay?!"

"(Y/N)! Ichihoshi!" screamed Asuto in pure and utter worry.

My head turned so fast in Asuto's direction that it almost hurt as tears welled up in my eyes. I couldn't even utter a single word because I knew that it would only end up in incoherent cries. I then felt a hand gently stroking my hair, it was Nosaka.

"He's waking up, everything is fine (Y/N)." he gently explained with a gentle smile on his face. I only looked at him as the tears I tried holding back felt freely, mixed up with relieved tears. His hand fell from the top of my head to my cheek and wiped a few tears before adding "That was really brave of you to do such an act, don't worry, we'll transport him to the bench, 1st period is over." and with that, he and Asuto lifted Ichihoshi and helped him walk to the bench. As for me, I stayed where I was for a moment.

"Come on (Y/N), let's get you to cool off." proposed Hiura, handing me his hand to help me get up. I sniffled and grabbed his hand, gladly appreciating his help to lift me up. And so we walked to the bench, hiura leading the way and holding my hand while I trailed behind, still trying to wipe my tears.

I was currently getting scolded by Ootani but unfortunately for her, everything she said was turned into white noises because I was to stressed about my teammate to concentrate on what she was saying, sorry bestie. I think she eventually understood that because my gaze was still fixed on Ichihoshi even after being shaken like a tree. The boy seemed to be in some sorte of daze and everyone was concerned about him.

Ootani eventually let go of me and went to the boy with a wet tissue but her hand got swatted away before the blue head tightly gripped his shirt where his heart is supposed to be while the other went straight on his face.

"All I wantted was to play with my brother again. Why...? I even went as far as hurting others... But Hikaru... Hikaru is..." rambled Ichihoshi before being cut by Nosaka.

"You haven't hurt anyone." affirmed the emperor, earning a surprised look from the blue head. "At least, not in today's match." he smiled.

"That's right." affirmed Kazemaru with Shirou standing by his side to the surprise of some of the teammates.

"Their injuries were an act in order to throw you off your pace." explained Nosaka. "I manipulated you into targeting them, and told them to pretend to be injured if they got caught in rough plays."

"Our acting wasn't that bad, don't you think?" asked Kazemaru before Nosaka began his explanation about how they trained the defenders duo to fake being injured.

"But I still participated to hurt others..." mumbled Ichihoshi who seemed to find the ground very interesting now.

"But you protected me." -Nosaka.

"I couldn't use football as a means to take someone's life away." -Ichihoshi.

"Don't worry. That story about it being deadly for me to conceive a head injury was just a lie to mislead you." -Nosaka.
