My Life at Raimon

8. Practice

"Morning guys." I shout walking into breakfast

"morning." The whole team shouts

"Come sit with us!" says Haruna excitedly "quickly, before all the food disappears."

"I know someone else who disappeared last night." Says Kidou quietly

"Kidou, you can't still be mad?" said Sakuma obviously worried

"Phftt." Kidou replies, while Fudou smirks in the background

"Hey guys." Says a voice happily

We all turn around

"Otto!" I shout "you're back!"

"I am indeed, now is there food left, I'm quite.....umm" said Otto trying to think of English

"Hungry?" I suggested

"Yup, that's English word." Said Otto

I wonder where he had been, he sure looked happier, his cheeks were bright pink and he was literally glowing.

"Guys, I have an announcement." I said loudly, I waited till I had gotten everybody's attention before I continued. "Please can you guys watch the live, ice skating junior championships tonight, in sure you will find it very interesting." I said winking at Fubuki

*at practice*

"Go everyone go! You can do it guys! Looking good! Nice shot!" the managers cheered

I gave it my all, I had been accepted into this football team, and I was planning to do my best

"Otto is pretty good isn't he." Said Natsumi

"It's a good thing the coach let us join our team." Said Fuyuka

"Jordnära (Down to earth)!!" Shouted Otto kicking the ball with all his strength

A greenish brown, light covered the ball, and the ball smashed down into the earth nowhere to be seen.

"um Otto why did you kick from such a far distance and where did the ball-" said Kurimatsu astonished, but before he could finish the ball emerged from the ground, looking rather like the globe, dangerously close to the defense line and was traveling at an amazing speed towards the goal.

"No way is this ball getting into the goal death strike!!" I shouted, twirling around to gather some power, before striking the ball forcefully with my left leg, which was glowing blue. "What power." I murmured dumbfounded

Beads of sweat started to form on my forehead, as I struggled, it was too powerful, who knew Otto was this strong.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!" I screamed as the ball broke through my defense and blasted into the goal, it was so fast that Tachimukai didn't even have time to begin to save the ball

"That was scary," said Aki "Otto has some unbelievable strength."

"That was awesome Otto." I said walking over to him with slight difficulty "you are so powerful."

"thanks." Said Otto proudly "wait, why walking like that? Did I hurt you." Said Otto slightly worried

"Its fine, its jut a little sprain." I said, but I could hardly stand, I wobbled as I walked, and Otto had to steady me

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-" said Otto concerned

"Otto its fine, I mean it I can still play." I said

"No, I wont let you." Said Otto sternly "go sit on the bench, I'm doing this because I care." His eyes softened "come on ill help you."

"o-ok." I said finally giving in

"I hope she is fine." Says Fubuki "she needs to be in top shape for the ice skating junior tonight."

"her are you all right?" says Haruna rushing to get the first aid kit

"I'll leave her in your hands, managers I know I can trust you." says Otto, before leaving again for practice

*a few minutes later*

"There you go her, all better now, just rest it for a bit." Said Haruna

"Thanks a lot, but was a bandage really necessary?" I asked "it was just a sprain

"Yup, I put the bandage so it would heal faster; you can take it off tomorrow, morning." Said Haruna

"Thanks! Wait a minute tomorrow morning, but I need to be in top shape for the ice skating competition tonight." I said, Haruna was like a little sister to everyone

"Resume practice!" the coach ordered from the sideline

"Yes sir." Replied the whole team

I just cheered them on the bench, with the rest of the managers

*3 hours later*

"ok guys that's enough practice for now, go and take a drink and rest up, we depart for Osaka tomorrow morning, Endou you are in charge for the rest of the day, I have to go catch up on some things see you guys later" Said coach before walking away

"Wow that practice was really tough I'm pooped." Says Kogure lying on the floor

"Otto you were amazing," exclaimed Endou "where did you learn a shot like that!!??"

"Thanks captain, in Sweden there were machines specially designed, for improving shoots." Said Otto

"Otto, I've just noticed something different about you." I said

"Really, what is it?" asked Otto

"Your English has improved so well so quickly." I said

"it's because I've been with you guys for quite a while now." Said Otto

"But it hasn't even been up to a week!" I exclaimed

Otto just grinned "I just learn pretty quickly"

"How's your leg doing?" Said Kidou

"Its fine, I can walk on it now." I said "all thanks to your amazing sister."

"That's good to hear." said Kidou happily

I just smiled back at him
