AUTHOR'S POV:
*Tch, is this how they've decided to play?* Atsushi thought as the audience began to murmur.
"No matter how you look at it, that was pure talent." A guy with light purple hair said smiling at Atsushi.
*This little child, why does he remind me of someone?* the man thought as Atsushi walked away.
The referee blew the whistle for the match to continue, and they began passing the ball once again.
*Tch, these guys really think they have a chance to get up to 10 points. They are jokers.* Arata thought, jumping up and trapping the ball with his chest.
*8 more goals to go. I'll make an appearance.* Akaji thought.
*Hmph.* Akatsuki.
*I'll kill Kimishita!*
Just as Arata ran forward with the ball, Misaki kicked it from the side, making the ball loose.
"It's a loose ball!!" The commentator said as they looked at each other before running towards Arata.
He wasn't far from the ball, so he got the ball yet again before running with it. But it was already too late as Yusuke slid for the ball and kicked it into the middle of the field.
Atsushi then ran towards the ball, got it, and began running for the post.
"Tch." Arata clicked his tongue as he fell back.
Three defenders ran towards Atsushi to grab the ball, but he passed the ball towards Akatsuki, in between one of the defenders open legs.
"He passed it!"
Akatsuki then ran with the ball, dribbling the other defenders that came to take the ball from him.
As he was about to score, one of them slid for the ball, making contact with the ball, which resulted in the ball going up.
"It's loose." One of the Midfielders said as Atsushi jumped and headed the ball into the net.
"GOAL!!!" The commentator said as Atsushi laid on the floor holding his head. He had hut his head on the edge of the post while heading the ball.
"Tch."
*3 goals, we are still far away.* He thought before looking at the scoreboard.
It was still early in the game, 25 minutes.
*This kid annoys me for some reason.*
ATSUSHI:
I stood from the ground and walked back to my position as the game continued.
Thet began passing, and somehow, we got the ball a few minutes later and did some passes and scored.
The referee blew the whistle for halftime as we all walked back into the dressing room, 5-0 goals.
*Goddammit, 6 more goals.* I thought, sitting on a bench with a towel covering my head.
"What's going to happen if we don't reach 10 goals today?" Hinami asked.
*No... I don't wanna lose.* I thought, gritting my teeth.
"I'm not sure, but I don't think they'll have pity on us." Yusuke answered.
*Shut the fuck up!!*
"Am really scared..."
"Shut the fuck up!" I shouted, throwing the towel on the floor.
"What the hell man?" Yusuke asked.
"You guys, stop saying shit." I said looking away.
*They'll begin to feel too down if they have these kind of thoughts.*
"Just go out there and play, we just have to win and am sure we will." I said.
*If they begin to feel down... the game would end badly for us.* I thought standing up and walking out.
*Am sure, yes I am sure that we can do it.* I thought.
"The break has ended, and the second half is about to begin..."
I sighed as I looked up and then down.
*Give me the courage.* I thought before passing the ball to Akatsuki, who immediately dashed forward with the ball.
"He's fast!!"
*Am happy. At least they don't want to lose either.* I thought running forward, too.
When he noticed that many guys were trying to block his path, he played a high ball towards me. There was a midfielder behind me who tried to drag me down, but I forced myself to jump, making him lose balance and fall.
I then tapped the ball with my forehead, making it hit the floor and bounce. Then, I used a body feint to go past a defender.
I positioned my body for a shot as two other players slid for the ball. Well, that was a feint, of course, I tapped the ball towards my left before scoring a goal.
"GOAL!! The keeper was totally blinded by his defence."
*5 more.* I thought, running back to my position.
"You guys can do it!!" I heard the audience shout.
"Yes, Fight!!"
"Haha, it's a pity." Arata said.
"No, it's not. We are winning this." Akaji said, frowning at me.
"Let's work together to win this match." He said as I looked at him from the corner of my eyes.
"No problem, although I won't promise you many passes." I said.
"Neither will I. Let's see who's better after the match." He said as I nodded.
"Count me in." Akatsuki said.
*Akatsu...* I thought looking at him.
I shaked my head before smiling.
"Alright, let's win this!" I shouted.
"Yes!!" The others shouted as the game continued.
