After sleeping it was finally the day.

Japan vs Korea

As we all came in field I was put..

IN THE MIDDLE FIELD?!

I stared at the coach in confusion, why was I put here? Wasn't I chosen to be a forward in the team?!

Wait.. It's possible to put a forward into midfielder? Aw man..

I sigh as I stopped staring at my coach and look at our opponents, team Korea, huh.. I feel like bad thing is gonna happen but what?... I was cut by Inamori.

"Let's win the Asia preliminaries !" He shouted.

"hmpf, you're fierce as always." said a long grey haired boy, his name was... Haizaki Ryouhei if I'm right..

"Guy's we're against the world! With the world behind us, let's play soccer!" said our captain Endou.

"Yeah!" Everyone responded to him.

The referee start the match.

The Korea player's start with having the ball has they start doing long pass with each other.

Gouenji,Haizaki and Inamori as for me we're going toward the player with the ball, Inamori tries to steal the ball but fails as I come behind Inamori and steal it.

"Gouenji-san!" I pass the ball to Gouenji.

Gouenji immediately pass it to Haizaki as he dodge the defenders easily like it was nothing.

"Hmpf, idiots!" Said haizaki until one of the Korea player steal the ball. "What?!" he exclaimed.

The Korea players start doing a long pass one by one to arrive in the defense side but..

"Ice ground!" Fubuki use one of his hissatsu and take back the ball from the Korea player, then passes it to Inamori.

After some minutes the Korea players gets back the ball and goes directly toward the goal.

"Kamikaze Buffalo Train!" three of them started to dash at us with their hissatsu has they go through the defense and run toward the goal.

"You think you can stop me?" said one of the Korea players as he kick the ball in the air and at his turn he jumps with fire behind him.

"Red Break!" As he kick in the ball and goes--

"I won't let you!" Said our defender Kazemaru, he appears 5 of his clone and turn into a tornato. "Spinning Fence!" Then he takes the ball back.

"Awesome..." you mumbled as you saw the amazing hissatsu of Kazemaru.

Kazemaru pass the ball to endou.

"Everyone! This match has only started, let's keep calm and do this!" encouraged our captain Endou as he raise his hand.

We all did the same and responded "Yeah!"

Endou pass the ball to Inamori but suddenly one of the Korea player pushes him very hard away and took the ball back.

"Inamori!" shouted Kidou.

As we tried to take back the ball but keep failing. They were using..

Said Endou wich made me concentrate back on the match, I started to try on get back the ball but they arrived in front of the goal.

"Bison Horn!" another hissatsu from Korea this time he used his head to strike.

"Fuujin Raijin!" called Endou to catch the ball with his hissatsu but you noticed a Korea player on the side of the goal.

"ENDOU WATCH OUT!" I yelled.

But it was too late the Korea player use his leg to create dust on front of endou.

"What?!--" Said endou.

"GOAL! It's in! Korea makes the first goal!" Shouts the commentator.

"is it even allowed?!" you said but Haizaki cut you off.

"Those guy's play dirty!" he yelled.

"That was clearly a goalkeeper obstruction!" said Inamori.

The match continued as we get the ball this time, but this time you noticed that Inamori was able to dodge the rough play of Korea.

You we're already used to rough play since..

|months ago|

"ARG!"

The referee whistle to stop the match, all of your teammates went to your friend who got injured by the opponent.

"hah? Is that what you all got?" said the opposite team, you glared at them.

"what is wrong with you all?!" you yelled

"what's wrong with us? Tsk,?"

So that's the soccer league huh..?

In the end of the match your team still won with fair and square unlike them.

But... Your injured friend couldn't continue playing in the league, due to his leg that was injured badly.

Since this day, you learned how to control your anger toward this rough play, to protect your teammates but not only that.

You learned to protect those who you care.

|Back to reality|

You and your teammates started to dodge every of their attacks from the Korea player's, as they started to get mad.

"Everyone! Counterattack!!" said Kidou as we do what he said

Hissatsu tactics! "Soft and Hard!"

We did a long pass of three and it goes to Haizaki that passes it to Gouenji.

Your eyes widen as you see Gouenji Hissatsu.

"Last Resort!" He kicks the ball that turns into a dragon made of rocks that goes trought the ground.

GOAL!

You were amazed, this Hissatsu was probably one of the best you've seen in your entire life.

"Maybe it was a good idea to come.." you said in a low tone.

"is something wrong?" Asked Fubuki looking at me with his kind worried look.

"No, I'm fine don't worry!" I made a nervous smile.

"I'm glad, I thought you got lost in your thoughts again." he said.

"Don't worry! I'm totally focus on the match!"

Fubuki smiled as he goes back to his position, Fubuki Shirou.. He's very caring.

OKAY FOCUS ON THE MATCH!

The match begin with the Korea having the ball, I saw an empty space between the ball and the player.

I soon dashed and steal the ball back.

"Gouenji!" I passed it to Gouenji.

He succeed takes the ball and dribbles toward the opponent "Let's get another goal!" he shouted.

"Yes!" said all the team.

Gouenji passes the ball to Inamori as he passed it back in the air to Gouenji but two opponents run toward him.

He jumps.

WHISTLES

You see Gouenji falls on the ground..

No.. It's the same scenerio..

Gouenji was holding his leg in pain.

How could this happen?!

But soon you heard a "Mission complete." from one of the Korea player.

It's them. They did this.

"Sorry, but I don't think I can continue the match" said Gouenji to kidou.

"Guy's, calm down! It's still the first half! Keep your cool and we can win!" said Endou to cheer us up.

WHISTLE

One of the Korea player went straight for the goal,but pass it to another player but you see Haizaki going for it.

"Haizaki no rough play!" shouted Inamori to him.

"Shut up! I know that! I'M NOT THAT MUCH OF A BABY!" He responded and trying to steal back the ball from the opponent. But fails.

They pass the ball to each other, thankfully Hiura steals the ball from them.

"Spark wind!" Mansaku uses his hissatsu but the opposite team took back the ball from him.

The ball is back into this red haired with bandana boy that was about to shoot with his hissatsu.

"Bison Horn!"

"Fuujin! Reijin!"

WHISTLE!

The first half ended phew.. Endou stopped the ball.

1:1

That was the score of Korea and Japan.

Gouenji seemed to not be joining us for the second half.

"Hiroto-kun! Start warming up" said the coach.

I turned my eyes toward the coach as I see a grey haired noodle boy preparing himself.

Hiroto Kira? I think that's his name..

"Sure." responded Hiroto.

"Look like you finally realized that you need me, after I'm.. GOD STRIK--"
