Chapter 3 [Practice Match]
Date: 9 April, Friday.
-----
Endou's POV
I looked down at the forms from the first-years. As i went through, i found Tsurugi Kyousuke. The younger brother of Tsurugi Yuuichi. This put a smile on my face. 'Looks like this year's first-years will be very interesting.' I read his form to realized he already has a few hissatsu techniques. All of them were shoot styles. I put him in the interesting players place. Then i remember Tenma was also gonna be joining. I quickly grabbed his form. And i gotta say I'm surprised. I really was hoping he would at least have a few hissatsu techniques, but none. 'Tenma, your kinda disappointing me.' I sighed and put them his form also in interesting players. I looked through every student and finally found her form. The personal information were filled fine but the ones related to soccer she wrote. 'BAKA , LIKE I WOULD GIVE MY SOCCER INFORMATION TO AN IDIOT LIKE YOU >=P' I sweat-dropped as i read it.
"Haruna make sure to tell the school to make an announcement for a reminder to the practice."
"Of course" Haruna went out of my office. i cleaned up the forms and headed myself to the field.

Finally it was today. The practice match with the soccer team. I've been waiting for this day. I was in my class in my last period. There was 10 minutes before class was over. Then suddenly the speaker made a high pitch sound and an announcement was made.
"Students who applied for the soccer club, please wear your gym uniform and head to the main field. I repeat."
The announcement was made to remind the students and also get other students attention as well. Maybe most students will come to watch the match. That's gonna make me a little nervous though.
After the final bell rang, i quickly dashed to the locker room to change. After changing i went to the field, Nishizono caught up with me on the field. "You're so fast Tenma!" He complimented. "Thanks".
After all the members came, Endou-san told us to introduce ourselves to each other. He also told us to choose a position we can play best. So all of us first years introduced ourselves and told our position.
Tsurugi: Forward
Hakuryuu: Forward
Kageyama: Midfielder
Tenma: Midfielder
Shuu: Midfielder
Nishizono: Defender
Kariya: Defender
Tadakuni: Defender
Akagami: Goalkeeper
We had 9 members with us, so Endou-san gave our team 2 more players from the second team.
Kurumada and Hamano.
We all got in our position and waited for the whistle. Once the whistle was blown, Tsurugi passed the ball to Hakuryuu who passed the ball to Kageyama but he couldn't trap the ball so it got stolen by #11. So I got in front of him to trap him but the ball was passed to 11# who lost the ball to Shuu's sliding. Shuu dribbled past #9 and passed to Tsurugi. Tsurugi dribbled past the defense line and shot the ball. #1 stopped the shot with his hands. Like this the match continued.
I was mostly passing and dribbling past members. The match went on for 2 hours. We all lost track of time and had fun playing. Some of the players on my team used hissatsu techniques. 'Amazing' . Our goalkeeper wasn't able to stop the strikers shoot. And #1 wasn't able to stop Tsurugi and Hakuryuu's shoots. They both were like a match made in heaven. They both were synchronized with each other.
Endou-san ended the match and told everyone to take a break. All of the managers passed us a drink. That's when I looked around to see that many students were actually watching us play.
All of us first years lined up. We had to wait for Endou-san to choose the one for the team. Endou-san gave us all a grin and said. " Good job in working together, I'm very impressed. Now I'm gonna go over who I'm choosing for the regular team. And why. "
'He's giving a reason? '
"First, Tsurugi Kyousuke. You're skills and movements were similar to Yuuichi but it was too similar. I want you to be yourself on the team. Not your brother. Got it? "
"Hai! "
"Next, Shuu. You're really observant. Your prediction of the opponents team will be really helpful for the team. "
"If coach think so then I will work harder. "
"Next, Kariya Masaki. You're quick reactions and body balance is impressive. If you can react like that then the teams defense would be stronger. "
"Thank you Coach"
"Next, Matsukaze Tenma."
"Hai! "
"Your dribbling and passing is okay. But you need to learn some defense techniques as well. I want you to be like the wind. "
"Like the wind? "
"That's all for the regular Team. But Kageyama, Hakuryuu and Nishizono I believe you 3 can still make it into the team with tons of practice. So good luck on the seasons team for now, Alright? "
"Haii! " The three of them replied. Would Nishizono be okay?
"Tenma! " Nishizono came up to me and jumped for a high five. I also have him one back. "Isn't this amazing we got to be on the team? Even though we are on separation teams I will make sure to work hard and join with you"
Nishizono said with joy and excitement. I can't help feel happy for him. So I replied back. "Of course work hard Nishizono! "
"Shinsuke"
"Huh? "
"You can call me Shinsuke we are team mates of course. "
"Of course, Shinsuke"
We hand shake smiling at each other.
After the practice I changed clothes and was heading outside but I was stopped by Aoi's call. "Hey, how was practice did you pass? "
"It was fine. I got to be on the regular team. "
"So suddenly on the regular team will you be okay? "
"Of course that's why I'm gonna train hard and be the best player in Raimon. "
"Yeah, I will be supporting you. I'm gonna join as a manager too. "
"Then that will make things easy for me I guess. " I mumbled
"What? " Aoi asked.
"Nothing, Bye I'm heading home"
I waved good bye to Aoi after reaching near Kogarashi manor. I went to take a shower first. And as I was showering I couldn't let go of the thought.
'I want you to be the wind'

'What's the point of becoming the wind, if you can cause a hurricane?'
