Chapter 14 : Unable to answer

The score was 1 - 0 with Eito Academy with the lead with 1 point. Raimon got possession of the ball as they started to pass the ball to each other.

"The match resumes with Raimon's kickoff! The point difference is just one point! Can Raimon catch up?!", shouted commentator.

"Ganbatte! Tenma! Shinsuke!", cheered Aoi.

"Show them what you got boys!", cheered Midori.

The ball got stolen immediately by one of Eito's player. Tenma quickly went towards to the person who was dribbling the ball and was about to steal it, but the other person who was dribbling the ball dodged it easily. The ball was then kicked high up to the sky and Shinsuke caught the ball as he jumped into the air and passed it to Shindou.

"Here it comes! Hayato!"

Hayato called Shindou as a signal to pass his ball to him, but in how surprising... Shindou just went to the direction and ignored him. And that's make the three of them surprised of his action, especially Hayato, his mother, and also Haru.

'Shindou Takuto... What are you up to in your mind now?', thought Haru as she questioning herself.

Shindou broke the deal that he had made with that woman from the other day. And now his ball got stolen by the other member from Eito Gakuen. Haru saw Shindou was heading towards the ball, but it looks like he was hesitating to steal the ball from the opponent in front of him. He purposely letting the ball hits him and that makes Haru and Tenma realized of this.

The match ends with a score of 2-0 Eito Gakuen in lead and Raimon hasn't catch the score up. Haruna asked them to rest and took their water bottles as for Haru went back sitting with Tsurugi and smiled. Tsurugi looked at her with a disgust looked as he protested,

"The f*ck, are you sitting here for?"

"Hei, watch out your mouth, Mr.", said Haru pointing his mouth as for Tsurugi glared at her.

"I don't care about my mouth.", said him coldly.

"Ooh~ So you didn't brush your teeth everyday?", mocked Haru.

"You-"

"Why are you all playing like this?!", shouted Tenma as that made Tsurugi cutted off his sentence.

"Sangoku-senpai, Kurumada-senpai, Amagi-senpai, Minamisawa-senpai, Kirino-senpai, Kurama-senpai, Hayami-senpai, Hamano-senpai, Captain! Why won't you fight them seriously??!", yelled Tenma madly.

"Why won't you fight them seriously??!", said Tenma.

"T-Tenma-"

"If you all played seriously. You can break down Eito's defense like a snap! So why?! Why are you holding back?! Are you OK with losing??!", yelled Tenma.

"It's OK to lose."

Haruna has finally spoke and looked at Tenma with a sad looked. Everyone paid attention on her and silent.

"We haven't told you yet... That the score for this match has already been decided to be 3-0 as for Raimon's loss.", said Haruna as she looked down.

"Already been decided?", Tenma questioned.

"What do you mean?", Aoi questioning too.

"You know Fifth Sector right?", asked Haruna.

"Yes, it's the place that manages Japan soccer right?"

"Yes... But they don't just manage it. Fifth Sector also decides the scores for each game and notifies each school a score order whether they win or lose.", explained Haruna again.
