*This match, I don't get why, but I have this strong feeling of not wanting to lose it. I feel like giving it my all. Maybe... just maybe... something good will come out of it.* I thought, as they began passing.
*If so, I'll just have to give it my all!!!* I thought, running towards the guy with the ball.
"Hey, be careful. He's coming at you with full force." One of the guys said as the one he was talking to played a high ball towards another person.
"Hey, these guys will surely lose." I heard someone say from the audience.
"Yeah, what were they thinking when they chose only..."
*Shut the fuck up!* I thought as Akatsuki jumped for the ball and heading it towards Koenji, who kicked the ball hard.
"Fool, why didn't you get it?!"
"Yusuke, pass here." I said, running forward as he passed the ball back to Suzune.
"Hey! He said pass to him!" Misaki said furiously as another guy stole the ball.
"Still fighting when they're about to be eliminated. These guys are a joke." Someone said as I bit my lip.
*That's how you guys wanna play, then... let's have fun.* I thought, running back.
"Hey, don't leave your position, Atsushi!" Akaji shouted.
"Shut the fuck up, he's gonna score." I said still running.
"And Arata from Team B shoots!!!" The commentator shouted as I ran into the post and played the ball back into the middle just before it could enter the post.
"Tsk."
"Whoa! A beautiful bicycle kick from Team C's captain, but the ball is loose!"
*Ouch.* I thought, standing up and running back to my former position.
"Whoa, Akatsuki from Team C got the ball, he's running in!! He's gone past three defenders!!!!" The commentator shouted as he did some awesome flick and scored the first goal.
"Whoa! Team C scored the first goal. Now, will they keep their form and keep scoring, or will they get eliminated?"
"We got one in." I said as Akatsuki smirked at me.
*I have no time for that now.* I thought going back to my position.
The referee blew the whistle for the match to continue as they began passing around.
"You might have gotten one in, but that's just it. It'll be hard for you guys to get a total of 10 while playing against us." Arata said.
*He's kinda right, everyone will be tired be time runs out and they are really strong. But still... it's just impossible for then. I've never been tired while running.* I thought running for the ball.
*I don't expect the others to send passes my way, so then... I'll get the ball myself, no time for public opinion.* I thought sliding for the ball, but the guy with it tried playing it over me.
As the ball went up, I balanced my hands on the ground, pushed my weight up, and used my left leg to kick the ball forward.
"Whoa Whoa whoa!!! I've never seen such."
"Hey! The guy that scored before is going for the ball. Don't let him!!" Arata shouted as soke of them ran to stop Akatsuki while some ran for the ball.
I jumped up immediately and ran for the ball.
"He's fast!"
*Got it.* I thought, running forward with it.
"Shouto, stop him." Arata said to the big fellow.
"Time to play you guys back for last time." He said smiling as I ran towards him.
I stopped after getting close, pushed my body to the left, tapped the ball with my left foot, then my right, making the ball bounce a little. I then used the heel of my foot to play the ball over my head and to my front.
"H-he went past Shouto."
"I-Impossible." The guy said as I ran towards the keeper who bent a bit, ready to grab the ball when I got into the box.
As he approached me, I tapped the ball slightly in between his legs, slid, and hit the ball with my right leg.
"Goal!!! What a beautiful solo effort!! They're taking them on."
"The game is getting interesting."
"Yeah, but how will they win?"
*9 more.* I thought dusting my shorts.
"Tch, hey you guys. What the hell was all that act?! You guys acted like you were paid to allow him go past you, what the hell?!" Arata asked as they all looked down.
"What?!"
"Did he just say pay them?"
"And I thought he was good."
*Is this what they've decided to play with?, their trump card. Unluckily for them, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT.*
"No matter how you look at it, that was pure talent." I heard a guy from the crowd say as I looked towards him.
He just smiled at me as I looked away.
*What's his deal?*
"Well, if you say that, it actually did look like talent."
"Yeah."
"I guess I was mistaken."
"Good luck, Team C!!"
"Tch, foolish audiences." Arata said walking back to his position.
*Hmph, don't underestimate me. Well, since they want a match, I'll give it to them.* I thought, smiling.
