[Name] pov:

We are currently outside the field wearing our given bibs, which was our real rank this time. My rankng is now 28 while Karasu got 69 and Otoya got 33. Otoya then glanced at Karasu's number and gave him a thumbs up. "Nice ranking." Is what he said, making me sweatdrop and give him a disgusted look. "Pervert." I mumbled, beside Karasu, who nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it's better if ya stay away from him." Karas said back while Otoya gave us an annoyed look. "Now you guys are just being mean." Otoya started complaining, but I just ignored him and looked at the opposing team. Kiyora was rank number 21, meanng that he passed the first stage before me.

"I'll take on that curly haired male over there." I said and pointed at the said male who was picking on his nose. Karasu and Otoya then looked at who I was pointing at, before looking back at me. "Are you sure? We don't want you tripping on his long legs-"

"Are ya seriously mockin' me right now?"

"I'll keep my mouth shut."

Karasu then let's out a sigh with our antics before looking at Kiyora. "Then I'll take on that Kiyora guy. I'm pretty sure that I can handle him." Karasu exclamed aand I nodded in understandment before looking at Otoya. "That leaves snake tounge to me." Otoya said, before the three of us went into the field as Otoya placed a hand on my head.
"Make sure not to cry when we lose, alright?" Otoya teased, while I slaped his hand away. "Don't treat me like a child ya ninja freak." I grumbled while Karasu let's out a cackle. "Haha! Ya sure talk big for someone so short!"

"Shut up ya stupid crow!"

[KICK OFF!!]

I passed the ball to Karasu who passed it back and we all started running forward. The curly haired dude then went in front of me and raised a brow. "Woah, woah, where do you think your going kid?" He said, while I gave him an uninterested look. "To the day care, since I'm a kid, should I call you grandpa?" I sarcastically said before performing a double-touch feint and got passed him. I then passed the ball to Otoya who quickly avoided the brown haired male and passed the ball to Karasu, Kiyora then started running towards him, but Karasu placed a hand on his chest and kicked the ball up wards towards the goal.

"Hey Karasu, what're you doing? There's no one there!" Otoya yelled, while I shook off the curly haired male and started running towards where the ball is going to land. "Don't worry, even if we messed somethin' up... you'll be there to fix it... ain't that right? Star Striker?" Karasu said as he watch me perform a bicycle shot into the net, scoring our first goal. "Damn..." Otoya mumbled and watch me land on my feet. I then looked up at Karasu and gave him a peace sign with a grin on my face. "Nice pass! Karasu-senpai!" I happily said, making him flinch and stare at me for a while before smiling back at me and ruffle my hair. "Nice goal."

Otoya then walked up to us and slapped my back hard, making me yelp. "That was a crazy ass goal. For someone who's short you sure jump high." Otoya said while I only gave him a confuse look. "I don't know if I'm bein' insulted or gettin' a compliment." I excaimed, making Karasu chuckle. "I'm pretty sure it's both!" Karasu laughed before Otoya looked at him and asked. "What's the next plan?"
"Well, [Name] I need ya and me to distract the opposin' team. While Otoya here keeps quiet and waits for my signal to finally make a move. Don't let yer guard down though, I can tell that they're just gettin' started." Karasu exclaimed while eyeing the opposing team. Both me and Otoya then looked at each other before looking back at Karasu.

"Alright, we'll do our best then."

"Yeah, so you better get us some steak after the match."

"What's with you two all of a sudden?!"

[RESTART!!]

Karasu passed the ball to me once we heard the whistle and the three of us sticked to the plan. Me and Karasu made sure to stand out more and passed the ball to each other, while Otoya waits from the side lines. "What's this, what's this?" A voice comimg from behind suddenly said, making me look at who it is, only to be bumped into the shoulder harshly, making me almost lose balance. "I see what you guys are planning~! And it's not going to work, cuz we've got it all covered now!" He happily said and showed his split tounge, before trying to take the ball from me, but luckily I manage to pass the ball back to Karasu immediately. "Sorry Karasu-senpai! I can't hog the ball anylonger!" I yelled watching my crow head senior swiftly catch the ball. "Don't worry! I'll handle it from here!" Karasu yelled back and tried to place his hand on Kiyora's shoulder, but the blue-haired boy dodged immediately and pressed Karasu with so much force. Almost making him trip, Kiyora manage to take the ball to him and immediately passed the ball to the curly haired dude, who was already in front of the goal.

"No way... Otoya-san!" I yelled, and the said male immediately came rnning towards him, but the curly haired male already kicked the ball into the net, scorng their first goal. "Damn, I didn't make it." Otoya cursed as me and Karasu walked over to him. "Not gonna lie, that Kiyora guy is pretty strong for someone who's short. He mange to shove me off and pass the ball to his teammate." Karasu explained, while I started thinking for another strategy to do, and finally a old one popped into my mind. "Otoya-san, Karasu-senpai! I got an idea!"

"Hm? Ya do?" Karasu asked and I nodded. "It's an old technique that me and my teammate use from the first selection. A person needs to kick the ball in the middle of the field, while two people who are both really fast needs to run at the same tempo and run in different direction. It tricky since ya need the ball to be inbetween the two players, so that it'll be harder for the opponent to tell which one will touch the ball. And we'll eventually break through their defense." I explained, making Karasuand Otoya nod in understandment. "I see... so basically we need two players to rn at the same tempo, while the other one needs to focuse on passing the ball inbetween the two players." Karasu confirmed, as Otoya started doing peace signs. "Me and [Lastname] will be the runners since both of us are the fastest here, so Karasu will deal with passing the ball." Otoya said, which made both of us nod. "Yeah, let's get goin' and win this."

[RESTART!!]

Karasu passed the ball to me, and I dribbled forward before passing it back to him. "All right, it's time to use those weapons of yers!" Karasu yelled before kicking the ball, exactly in the middle of the field. "Haha! Where are you passing at, man?" The curly haired dude laughed, but quickly shut up when he noticed me and Otoya running towards the ball. "Huh? Are they attacking together? Or are they going to fight for the ball?" Snake tounge said, as he watch us run towards the ball. But with a bilnk if an eye, we were already passing the ball while running in different directions, before getting passed him. "Huh?! Kiyora! Stop them!"

Kiyora then went in front of us to try and stop us, but quickly relized that he didn't know which one of us will take the ball. Kiyora just stood there, not knowing what to do, while he just stood there, me and Otoya got passed hm, before I sended one final pass to Otoya, who kicked the ball into the net, scoring our second goal. I quickly ran upto Otoya and jumped on his back, with a big smile on my face. "'Suuuuuup!" "Nice goal, Otoya-san! But ya were a bit too fast back there!"

"Eh? I was? Sorry about that, I guess I still need to practice more on running at the same speed as you." Otoya exclaimed, while carrying me on his back. "You're surprisingly very light. Are you even eating your vegetables properly?" Otoya teased but I only glared at him. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Geez, you can't even take a little joke?"
"I take it as a offence, thank ya very much." I sarcasticaly responded, before feeling someone pat my back. "C'mon, this ain't fair. I help ya both with scorin' a goal, so ya gotta help me out this time!" Karasu said, making me and Otoya look at him. "Fine, fine, we'll help you out. But I gotta be the one to score the last two goals." Otoya said, I gave him a smirk before gettng off his back and pointed at myself. "Nuh-uh, I'm the one who's goin' to score!"
"What're ya two talkin' about? I'm the captain here so I should score!" Karasu shot, while puffing up hs chest. "Keep dreamin' stupid crow!" I yelled back and mockingly stuck my tounge out at him. "Pfft- your own kouhai called you stupid crow!" Otoya laughed while covering his mouth ad Karasu looked at us with a irratated look. "Ya two better shut up before I slam ya into the ground...!" Karasu threaten, before looking at the opposing team with a smirk on his face. "Either way... let's win this."

[RESTART!!]

Kiyora's teammate passed the ball to him as we all started running forward. "Where do you think your going, Mr. Frowny face?" Otoya mocked as he went in front of Kiyora, but he only stayed quiet in respons. He tried to get passed Otoya, but I immediately went behind him and took the ball away, catching him off guard.
"I've figured out yer blind spot Kiyora-san! Ya can easily outmatch a player by going beside then, but ya can't out match someone behind ya!" I exclaimed, before performing a long pass towards Karasu.

"Go! Karasu-senpai!" Karasu immediately placed his hands on both players marking him and squeezed passed tjem, before kicking the ball into the net, scoring our third goal. Karasu then high-fived us with grins on our faces.

"All right~! We're in the lead!"

"Nice goal, Karasu-senpai!"

"Thanks! It's about time we finish this game!"

While we were talking, I felt someones eyes on me, making me turn around and saw Kiyora staring at me. I stared back at him with a slight frown on my face, before I felt someone wrap an arm around my shoulder. "Hey, you got a problem with our lil bro?" Otoya asked, while giving Kiyora a look, but the curly-haired dude went in front of him and glared at Otoya. "And do you got a problem with our teammate?" The curly-haired said, trying to look intimedating, making the three of us sweatdrop. "Dude, are you trying to look scary? Because if you are, it's definitely not working, you look totally stupid." Otoya nonchalantly said, only making the said male angrier. "Don't get your hopes up! We'll catch up in no time!"

"Yeah, yeah, say what you want, loser~!" Otoya mocked, making Karasu bonk his head. "Don't pick a fight will ya?" Karasu scolded before looking at the opposing team. "But I gotta say, we ain't losing this match. Not one bit." Karasu said with a sly smirk, making me sigh. 'Why did I team up with them again?'

"So, who do we pick?" Karasu asked, while looking at the losing team. We manage to win the match with the score of 2-5. Kiyora manage to score a goal for his team, while me and Otoya scored the last goals. "I'm fine with any of them... well, maybe not the curly-haired dude." Otoya said, placing both his hands at the back of his head. "If so then... can I pick? I've already made my mind from the start." I said while pointing at myself. Karasu and Otoya looked at each other, before looking back at me and nodded. "Well, I know that I can't change yer mind if ya already decided, so go ahead." Karasu said and patted my head, while Otoya gave me a thumbs up. "Like I said, I'm fine with whoever, just don't pick the curly-haired dude." Otoya said, making me chuckle, before walking up to the losing team.
"Kiyora Jin-san." I called out, making him look at me. I extended my hand to him with a gentle smile on my face.

"Will you join us and go to the next phase?" I softly said, the green-ish eyed male stared at me for a while, before eventualy taking my hand as I pulled him up to his feet. "Thanks for letting me join... I guess..." He mumbked, making me smile.
"Your very much welcome!" I happily said, before hearing Karasu yell. "Hey! Ya two better hurry up, before me and Otoya leave both of ya!" Karasu yelled while Otoya started walking towards the winners gate. "Alright! We're coming!" I yelled back before smiling at Kiyora again. "Let's get going!" I said and started jogging towards the winners gate with Kiyora following from behind.

"By the way, Otoya-san, ya told me tht you'd show me some of yer ninja tricks earlier." I said, making the said male look at me and made a ninja pose. "That's right. Now... let me show you one of my Ninja techniques!" Otoya happily exclaimed before copying some Naruto technique. "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" He yelled, while the three of us looked at him in confusion. Suddenly, Otoya slammed his hand on the wall behind me and started to lean in.
"Tounge summoning jutsu!" Otoya said and leaned closer to my face but I immediately placed my hand on his fore head. "The heck man?! For yer informatin, we're not even that close!" I yelled as Karasu puled him away. "What's up with him?" Kiyora asked, while pointing at Otoya.

"Don't mind him. He's just an idiot." Karasu said, making Otoya give him an offended look. "You broke my heart... but don't loose hope, [Lastname]! This time I'll show you a real ninja technique!" Otoya said, but me and Otoya only gave him a look. "I don't believe him." "Yeah, me too." Me and Kiyora whispered to eaaxh other, but let Otoya continue his so called "ninja technique". "Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Otoya yelled again, before running behind me and wrap his arms around my shoulder. "Back hug jutsu!"
I grab hold of his arm and trew him over my shoulder and slammed him into the ground.

I then stood up straight and gave Otoya a disgusted look. "I've had enough of this morron." I said coldly and started walking away with Kiyora. "I told ya to think before you do something around him." Karasu said and started walking away, leaving Otoya lay flat on the floor. "W-Wait... for me..." Otoya mumbled as he tried to recover from the big impact he took. Eventualy, Otoya manage to catch up with us and comlained that his back hurts so much and he wanted to hurry up and take a shower. "Ya guys can go take a shower first, I gotta do somethin' real quick." I said and started walkng away, while Kiyora and Otoya looked at me in confusion. "Where's he going? Isn't he tired from the match?" Otoya asked, while Karasu opened the bathroom door. "Let him be, like he said, he needs to do somethin' real' quick. Ya said ya wanted to hurry up and take a bath, right? So let's get gong before the others come." Karasu said and walked inside with Otoya and Kiyora following.

While they were taking a bath, I went in the monitor room to study our last match. After a few minutes of watching, I heard the door open, making me turn around and saw Karasu with his hair down. "Yo, I knew I would find ya here. Just wanted to let ya know that no one's using the bathroom anymore." Karasu, said as I stood up from the floor. "Thanks Karasu-senpai, ya should take some rest now!" I said and walked passed him.
"Ya changed." Karasu suddenly said, stopping me from my tracks and gave him a confuse look. "What do ya mean, Karasu-senpai?" I asked, making Karasu slightly smile.
"Back in the match, instead of a fake smile, while playin' soccer yer actually smilin' fer real this time. Did somethin' happen?" Karasu asked, making me remember the time when Isagi and I faught.

"Well... I guess ya could say that... but if I'm bein' honst..." I mumbled, before looking at Karasu with a smile on my face. "I finally found someone, who kept their eyes on me." I softly said, making him stare at me for a while, before smiling back at me. "I see, that's good to hear. I'm glad that ya finally enjoy playin' soccer." He said, before I waved him a good bye and started making my way to the bathroom.

{♡Small timeskip♡}

"Well look who finally decided to show up." Otoya sarcasticaly said. "My back still hurts, you know?" He said, making me laugh and bow my head at him. "Sorry 'bout that, I just got startled." I admitted before sitting on my bed and turned the hair dryer on to dry my hair. While drying, my hair, I noticed that Kiyora sat down beside me and started to watch me dry my hair. After a few mnutes, I turned the hair dryer off and looked at Kiyora, who is still staring at me. "Is something wrong Kiyora-san?" I asked as he shook his head, before he gently grabbed a few strands of my hair. "For someone younger than me, you sure are taller, huh? But you also remind me of a girl that's a few cm taller than me... no offence." Kiyora suddenly said, making me flinch and quickly laugh it off.

"Haha! Ya think so? I've been told that many times, so I'm kinda used to it now!" I laughed as he started playing with the strands of my hair. "Hm... but what will you do if you are one?" Kiyora asked, I felt like my heart was gonna jump out of my chest because of his questions. 'Does he know?! When and how?!' I yelled to myself and started to think of any excuses. "Hey, wanna go grab some dinner?" Karasu asked, saving my life completely from Kiyora.

{♡A few weeks later♡}

"Are you sure you don't want to eat this?" Otoya asked while taking a bite of my food. I let out a sigh and pushed the plate closer to him and lay my head down on the table. It's been a few weeks and we still haven't found someone to play against, making me almost loose hope. "Ya can eat it if ya want.. I'm not real' hungry." I mumbled, while Karasu and Kiyora glared at Otoya, as if telling him not to eat my food.
"I wasn't going to anyways." Otoya said and raised both his hands as a sign of defeat. Karasu then looked at Kiyora and Otoya and nodded, both male seems gets it and nodded aswell. Kiyora then grabbed my head and lifted it up, making me confuse. "Haaaaaaaaa! Ninja arts... force feeding jutsu!" Otoya yelled and shoved the food inside my mouth.

I slightly caugh at this, making Kiyora let go of my face and started to lightly slap my back. Karasu then lets out a laugh and sended me a grin. "Hahaha! Now we have to force feed you!" He laughed, makng me glare at him. "Stop treating me like I'm a little kid!" I yelled, while Otoya ponted at me. "Then stop acting like one and eat your food, pretty boy." Otoya teased, making me huff and take the spoon from hm and started eating my food. "I can eat by myself thank you very much." I sarcasticaly said, making the two idiots laugh.

After eating, ms and Karasu went to go get some water for the four of us, but on our way there. "[Name]...?" A familiar voice called, out making me look at who it is. 'Reo...'
"Hm? Ya know this guy [Name]?" Karasu asked, looking at Reo with a confuse look. I stared at my purple-haired friend, before eventualy lookng away from him. "No... he's just a stranger..." I said and started walking away, but a new voice was heard.

"What's this, what's this? Do you have a history with my teammate over here or something?" Me and Karasu looked at who it is and saw a tan male walking towards us with a smirk on his face.
"What do you say we have a match, huh?"
