A little into their second year of high school, the Raimon Soccer Club were on their way to the Holy Road finals. Then the car veers off the path, and they dive into the valley, where the car rolls off the cliff into the verge, and no one survives.

"There is no way we can win against Fifth Sector."
The first step to an insane breakthrough is a process of being infected by insanity-- kind of like a zombie apocalypse, just get bitten once and you no longer have to fear.

And then came the practice match.
Tenma shows up with Shinsuke, and they're both covered in scratches and wounds. Oh dear lord, who let the children fight a war last night?
"Captain!" Tenma says immediately upon entering (and causing everyone muted heart attacks in the process), "I've made up my mind. I'm still going to play all out today, even if I have to do it myself!"
Kirino watches from his spot on the bench as Kurama's jaw drops, and Minamisawa instinctively grabs the forward by the scruff before he goes over there to rip their juniors a new one.
Shindou sighs. He expected this.
"Okay then, no," he says, "both of you are sitting out."
They make synchronously despaired wails at the unexpected (absolutely expected. Kirino wonders why they didn't just do this the first time around) countermeasure to the situation. Seriously, if they know they're going to misbehave, obviously, they'll have to sit out.
They weren't going to win anyways, so they're not missing out on anything.
The managers sigh at that, because, really, what were they expecting?
Kirino chuckles. "Isn't it fine, let them play."
"Excuse me Kirino, no."
"Boo to your tyranny, Shindou."
Ichino rolls his eyes at them. "It's the Coach's decision, guys," he reminds them, "even so, we only have a defender position left, so if anyone's playing..."
"Ichino, can you play defender?" Coach Kudou suddenly speaks up, and his suggestion makes the enire room come to a startling halt. A loud confusion ensues as Coach Kudou turns stoically to Tenma. "Matsukaze, you're in."
