|ichihoshi pov|

This team current pillar of support is Endou. If he's out of the picture the team will fall apart from inside out, Gouenji and Kidou may be gone but, as long as he's still around.

the team mentally will remain firm.

|Haizaki pov|

"is he after Endou-San next? Well he's not gonna get away with it." I said.

|back to your pov|

I saw Hiroto, Haizaki, Tatsuya and Kazemaru staring at Ichihoshi.

"Hello?? Are you all back to earth?" I waved my hand on front of their face.

"Oh sorry [L/N]..." said Tatsuya and Kazemaru, but the last two didn't noticed I was there.

"Everybody! Free time is over!" Said our coach and told us to do an endurance training.

We were all in a team.

Green, yellow, red, blue.

You were in the team yellow with Endou, Tatsuya, Goujin.

The training was simple, running in square handing the baton to our teammate, each square has a tissue box and to finish the training we needed to take all the tissue out from the box.

"Huh where's Ichihoshi?" Asuto noticed he wasn't there.

"Tch, who cares." answered Haizaki.

"ready, set!"

Boom!

We all started to run.

What we didn't knew it that..

It would take a whole day.

|Time skip to sunset|

You were on the floor K.O "I feel like my legs is going to scream tonight.." You said.

"You know, you could just not do the training today... since your leg is still healing..." said Tatsuya out of breath still tired after the training.

"I didn't wanted to be left behind!" You look at him determined.

"That's the spirit!" said Endou.

"Wait everyone." said Kazemaru.

"What's wrong Kazemaru?" asked Mansaku.

"Sorry about this,but I want us all to start a new training now." He responded.

"What!?" everyone complained.

|After the training|

You land on your bed after a good shower, until you remembered you needed to change your bandages, Ah Frick here we go again.

"I'M SO SHOCKED!" You heard in your neighborhood dorm, Ichihoshi and "golem" dorm.

Did something happened?-

You went knocking, in case something bad happened.

"Golem is everything okay??"

"Yes.. [L/N]... I'm fine..." He respond without opening the door.

"Alright... Good night then!" You went back to your dorm still confused what just happened.

Breath in, breath out.

Bandage time.

|Tomorrow morning in the training field|

You and the rest of your teammates turned to golem.

Jesus. Christ.

"What's wrong golem? You've got bags under your eyes." Asked Mansaku.

Golem looked like he saw a ghost at full Morning, nah more like he saw Annabelle in his dream's or something, was it because of yesterday night?

|After training|

"Hm ? [L/N] where are you going??" Asked Kazemaru.

"I'm going to buy some snack! Anyone need anything?" I respond.

"Nope, we're good!" They did a thumbs-up at me and I smiled and left to town to buy something.

I finally found some nice [F/F] (Favorite fruits) for some nice snack! I went back to lodgement direction but..

I saw Ichihoshi with four others dudes, three of them were wearing uniform, the fourth one was wearing a purple sweater.

You didn't knew why but you instantly hide and watch the scene.

Ichihoshi took out a gum.

"Hey, what's that?" said one of the dude with a weird side Brown hair and took the gum looking at it.

"It's gum, a reward for your hard work." Answered Ichihoshi.

What hard work? What does he mean by that?

"You're making fun of us?!" Yelled one of the dudes at Ichihoshi.

"I never once said I was gonna pay you with money,all I said is that you'll be compensated. Bye now." Ichihoshi shrugged.

"Get him!" the four guy's started to attack Ichihoshi.

My mouth was wide opened, Ichihoshi beated them all up with ease, he could've done the same to Hiroto and Haizaki but he didn't.

Ichihoshi took a picture of the dude's on the floor injured.

"Listen up, you nobodies, if you chumps talks about this to anyone, I'll leak this pathetic photo of yours on the internet, make sure to keep your mouth shut." said Ichihoshi threatening them.

Wait he's coming this way...Frick! Frick!

Ichihoshi turned around and saw you looking at your phone walking toward him acting you didn't saw him yet.

"Oh, hello [L/N]!" He smiled at you.

"Oh, Hi Ichihoshi !" you fake smiled and put back your phone in your pocket.

"Why are you here?" He asked.

"I got some snacks!" I show him my bag "what about you Ichihoshi?" I returned the question.

"Oh, just went visiting a friend nothing much." he replied.

"Wanna go back to the lodgement together?"

"Sure!"

Phew.. Thank you mom for putting me in a acting club when I was 9!

|Time skip/cafeteria|

"ENDOU GOT ARRESTED?!" Everyone yelled.

SPILL OUT WATER

"WHAT?!" I screamed.

"No! Endou did nothing wrong! He was protecting me, then those goons faked getting attacked by him!" Said Anna.

"Are you sure it wasn't someone bright idea?" said Haizaki staring at Ichihoshi, Ichihoshi completely ignored him still on his computer.

"No, it could be an organizational tactics." Said Kazemaru.

"What the hell is going on with this tournament?" added Hiroto.

"This must be a plan to make Japan lose by taking out Endou,who is the cornerstone of our morale." answered Kazemaru.

"There's no other choice, we'll have to play the match without Endou." Entered the coach in the cafeteria.

What?

"But we still have an excellent goalkeeper on our team! Nishikage I'm counting on you!" Said the coach.

"Huh, me ?" He said kinda surprised.

"Yes, you!" Said the coach.

"Very well, I will make every effort, to the best of my ability."

"Huh what about me?-" said Saginuma but got stopped by Tatsuya giving him a smile and a strange look "W-what?" Saginuma seem confused.

"You can do it nishikage!" I encouraged him.

"Thank you [L/N]."

"Come on we're all friends! Call me [F/N]!"

"O-oh.. Alright, [F/N]" he smiled to you, his smile was like an angel from the sky.
