Tenma's POV

After the introductions we all went down to the football field. Tenki and his friend were playing with each and I took a seat on the bench. I didn't feel like playing much since the incident. "Something bothering you Tenma-kun?" Yuuichi asked me.

"Oh it's just our next opponents that's all." I said making an excuse.

"Really who is your next opponent's?" He asked.

"They are..." As I was about to reply I realized I don't know the next opponents yet. "Oh wait the coach never told us our next opponents" I replied.

"Haha, then why are you worried so much?" Yuuichi laughed and asked.

"Actually it's not our next opponents" Aoi said truthfully. "Aoi!" I called her name in a sign to not to tell him.

"I mean it's Tsurugi's brother, he won't tell others" Aoi stated.

"Tell what?" He asked.

"About the Zodiac!" A familiar voice spoke from afar. It was Tsurugi and Haru.

"Zodiac?" Yuuichi asked tilting his head to the side a bit.

"An elite group of players going the names from zodiac signs. Team name is still unknown. Their motive seems to be a bit clearer than before." Haru explained as she came down the stairs towards us.

"What's their motive?" Aoi asked since she didn't know.

"To bring out the avatars within us." Tsurugi replied.

"The avatars?" Yuuichi said in surprise

"You two saw it right? A dark shadow appearing behind Shinsuke's back today." Haru asked me and Aoi.

"Yeah, I just didn't expect that at all" I replied to her.

"Shinuske had an avatar?!" Aoi said in shock.

"Yeah, it must have been a power of his revolution. He stood protecting the goal with so much determination. If Nishki didn't arrive he probably wouldn't be able to stop the shoot but he would be able to catch it with his hands." I explained to them.

"The same with Shindou happened as well. He saw Kirino get hurt so he was able to bring it out." Tsurugi added.

"Who are the members of this team your talking about?" Yuuichi asked us.

"Akane-san took a picture that time, and look at this." Haru said as she showed us the images. A total of eleven members were there. The pictures were bit blurry but we were able to have some clear images of all the players. Haru had already labeled the players with their number, sign, height and the hair.

Jersey number 1:
➨♈Aries, tall with white spiky hair that is pointed upward.

Jersey number 2:
➨♒Aquarius, short with green hair tied into a bun.

Jersey number 3:
➨♓Pisces, around average height with ruffled orange hair.

Jersey number 4:
➨♍Virgo, average height, light pink hair.

Jersey number 5:
➨♉Taurus, around an inch shorter than average,  with dark brown dreadlock hair.

Jersey number 6:
➨♏Scorpio, really tall with silver hair with dark skin.

Jersey number 7:
➨♑Capricorn, a female from the body figure, average height with bright pink medium length hair.

Jersey number 8:
➨♎Libra, Average height, Brown hair 

Jersey number 9:
➨♋Cancer, brown hair around taller than average height.

Jersey number 11:
➨♊Gemini, average height tanned skin with short spiky brown hair.

Jersey number 12:
➨♐Sagittarius, female slightly shorter than average with dark green hair in a pony tail.

"The only person missing from here is Leo. But from Shindou's description of Leo was guy with long black hair." Haru stated.

"So the Zodiac's motive is to bring out the avatars inside the other players?" Yuuichi said as he was also look through the images.

"Matsukaze, you got your avatar when you were training under fifth sector right? Was there a specified way your avatar released?" Tsurugi asked me.

"It was three possible way. Anger, Determination and Fear. You got yours through fear of losing someone. I got mine through determination to become stronger. Shindou got it from both fear and anger." I explained to them.

"Shinsuke would be determination right? Because he was still standing to protect the goal on his own." Aoi said.

"That's right." I agreed to her.

"So are these guys really foes or just some helpers in disguise?" Yuuichi asked.

"If this is the way they want to help then we don't want it." I said in anger.

"Yet it works" Tsurugi replied.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"Their tactics always worked. Whether it was to help us with our next opponents or to help escape from our enemies. It always worked. I've been thinking about it for a while but is it not weird that we are the only ones who have been approached by these guys." He explained.

"Wait now that you mention it." Aoi recalled.

"These guys are following orders from Leo who is their leader. Which means Leo could be a spy among the team or he could also be taking orders from someone who is spying on the team from the inside." Haru stated.

"Why would they be on the team and give away the information?" I said.

"To gain trust and get more information along with the tactics as well. Plus no one would really suspect you if you are on the team." Yuuichi explained.

"So there is spy on the team?" Aoi said in fear.

"Who would it be?" I questioned. Just then the football came by to our feet.

"Ni-san! Can pass the ball?" Tenki called out. I passed the ball over to them quickly.

"Thank you" He said as he continued to play with his friend. As I looked over to them I wondered something.

"You know what it doesn't matter who they are for now. I'm sure when the time is right they will reveal themselves." I said calming myself.

"Why do you think that?" Haru asked me.

"Do you know what the target of fifth sector?" I asked them.

"What?" she asked.

"They wanna make football even for all schools. It won't matter if your strong or weak, fifth sector will make things even for everyone. But that's the kind of rules Leo doesn't like apparently." I explained to them

"Oh yeah, when Tenma and I met Libra 2 weeks ago he said 'Leo doesn't like control'. " Aoi reminded.

"I won't forgive them. But I just hope they don't do anything like that from before." I said. Everyone nodded along in agreement.

"So now that we are done discussing that, should we help those two? I don't think they are doing a good job trying to make HS." Yuuichi said as he pointed towards the two friend failing to pass and just jumping around.

"Yeah we probably should, Tsurugi you wanna join?" I asked Tsurugi.

"It's a bit weird isn't it?" Haru said.

"What?" I said.

"There's two Tsurugi which one are you calling?" She said as she pointed towards the both of them. "Uh..." i let out before Yuuichi spoke.

"It's fine you can call Kyousuke, Tsurugi. You can call me Yuuichi." Yuuichi reassured me.

"Alright. You joining?" I asked Tsurugi as i turned towards him.

"I guess, plus I still have the training menu to complete too." He said as he took his menu out of his duffle bag. At the moment I remembered about mine as well.

"Oh NO I FORGOT ABOUT THAT" I screamed as I grabbed my bag and took out my training menu. "I'll just finish these real quick and join you." As I went to take a lap around the field.

"I'm going with Matsukaze and finish mine as well." Tsurugi said as he joined next to me. We both somehow had similar training menus so it was kind of fun having this rivalry between the two of us. Yuuichi guided Tenki and Haiiro with a simple HS in the meantime and Haru and Aoi cheered for them.
