The stadium's thunderous explosion of cheers as Itoku's grin seemed to ignite the crowd, his snake like aura pulsating with an otherworldly energy ,
The crowd around him erupted into chaos, but Kou remained an island of calm, his composed expression a stark contrast to the stunned faces of Yugen, Akane, Iori, Sosei, Yuto, Kaito, Kumi, Jin, and Inyo.
Sosei - hm
Akane - wow what was that goal
Iori " now is not the time to marvel at the his goal I'll score the next one "
With a look of utter bewilderment, Yugen slapped himself , the physical shock needed to jolt him out of his daze. " What was that goal just now [Chuckles] I should be feeling after seeing a Genius like that but why… why am I feeling so Excited right now [Grins] . I want to crush him
Kou glances at yugen and scoffs
「RESTART」
Kou passes the ball to Kumi as with a series of moves gets past his marker , Kou getting past his marker using off the ball movements to get past , mainly breaking through the middle with the Attack centered around Kou .
Yugen " I should not think about my own goal for now , I do not see a way for me to score , I should focus on …
Kou gets the ball scanning the field for options for a pass but gets blocked by a shinsei makoto , with yugen emerging from Kou's shadow increasing the options for Kou
Shinsei's eyes widened in frustration, 'That No. 19, shit!' He'd read the play perfectly, anticipating the pass to Yugen, but Kou's cunning feint and swift pivot left both Shinsei and Yugen stunned
Yugen " that bastard"
Kou 29 meters away from the goal
[GRINS] "Where do you think you are going boy" itoku said
Stopping Kou in his tracks, Itoku " why don't you show me what you are made of " , Kou stayed silent
Itoku " I'll take that as a yes then " itoku dashing towards kou facing him
Yugen " Both of dribbling and defending without wasting a single movement , it was a duel of geniuses "
But for some reason it seems like Kou is holding back
Itoku" Are you holding back AGAINST ME
Itoku took it up a notch slowly getting the better of Kou , Kou feints to the left and moves to the opposite side , dragging the ball back to create space between them
Kou raises his leg and getting ready to shoot in an awkward stance
Itoku [Thought] " what's this he want to shoot from here and with that stance "
yugen " eyes widened as he remembers the same shoot"
Shinsei " what's with that stance haha "
The air around Kou seemed to darken as he unleashed a shot of unyielding ferocity, the ball curving upward with a steep, majestic arc, dipping into the top right corner
with an unstoppable combination of power and precision the ball nestling into the top right corner with a soft, decisive thud .
The crowd was left agog, the stadium silent as a tomb, before suddenly erupting into a frenzy of cheers and applause, as Kou breathed out slowly, his dark aura swirling around him like a malevolent presence, stunning both Kelshea and Kuzan into awestruck silence."
Mika - As expected of the brother of Japan's 8 [GRINS]
