"EHHHHH?!"The whole team excluding yelled out concurrently and stood up from their seats in surprise, not believing what they just heard and secretly hoping he was only joking.

You, however, remained still and  raised an eyebrow at the male, "What do you mean, Coach?"

He smirked, "I think it's better to use [L/N]-kun at the right time." He exclaimed, earning a few complaints from the other but none of them is from you.

"But Coach-! How can we win against Teikoku Academy if [L/N] is not with us in the match?! Do you have any idea who would we be against with?!"Kozoumaru complained, taking one step towards the said male, however, the smirk on his face remained.

" Oh, I think you misunderstood it. [L/N] do play at that match but just at the right time!"He emphasized it.

"Coach-!" Goujin started but you cut him off.

"Shouldn't you be happy since you can play?"

He took a few moments to process what you just said before jumping happily when it hit him, "Alright!"

You shook your head with a smile adorned your face. One is happy but the others are the opposite, "[L/N]-san! Aren't you frustrated that you can't play?"

"Goujin-senpai can't even make his hissatsu technique!"

"And all his hissatsu technique names sound ridiculous!"

"Hey!"

"No offense!"

"That's the truth though!"

"If that's Coach words, then I can't do anything about it but to trust him."You flashed them a nonchalant smile, "After all, I have nothing against his instruction and I could observe each of your doings on the field. With this, I can detect your mistake and we can fix it afterward."

"[L/N]-san!!" Zhao practically has sparkles in his eyes, looking at you as if you are an angel when he thought he finally regained your trust after the incident in the training room in the last chapter.

Chuckling lightly, you shrugged your shoulder, "You guys already training hard enough so I think you would be okay on your own."

Their entire demeanor had turned gray as if they are doubting themselves. Again. Your gaze softened, "I'll be cheering on you so don't worry and just like coach said, I'll play but in the right time."

Peering one eye open to glance at them, they exchanged a glance with each other and nodded their head slowly making you sighed, "Listen carefully. Before you meet me, your performance in soccer is good, really! Where is the spirit that you want your soccer back?" You stood up, saying it a little louder to give them a spirit. A spirit to play their favorite sport. Their soccer.

They look at each other and a grin makes its way on their face as you silently sighed in relief. It's not like you didn't worry nor anxious for the next match but this is Teikoku we are talking about. And that Kageyama returned from jail.

"Now that's the spirit!" You grinned and raised your fist in the air in a cheering manner, "Go and win the match!"

"Yeahh!!"

───────────────

Thinking again, why are you so excited about this? The girl couldn't help but to thought about it as she observes the match with bored clearly plastered on her face.

She does see something fishy, however, before she could even figure it out, someone tapped her shoulder, making her let out a small squeak in surprise which caused her to whipped her head behind to look at the culprit who've chosen death for their mistake after covering her mouth with her palms.

Sending a small glare at the male, who is trying his best to not laugh.

"Goddamnit, Genda. My heart nearly flew out from my mouth." You grumbled and he smirked after calming himself down.

"Sorry, sorry. I didn't know you can make a cute sound."Your face flushed but before he could see it, you faced your whole attention back at the field as you could hear the sound of his footsteps closer and sit next to you on the empty seat.

You were startled by something cold on your cheek, instantly moving your face away to look at it. Of course. Genda handed you a soda in a cold aluminum can with a cheeky smirk plastered across his face.

"You little–"You tried your best to not slap the smirk off his face and flashed him an irritated smile instead but thank goodness he offered you the drink to calm you down since he already has one.

Clicking it open, you took a sip and glanced at the male when there is one question in your head that was meant to be asked to the male, "Now come think of it, why are you here?"

He sighed, running his hand through his brown hair, "Beats me but Kageyama wants to put me at the right time. That damn criminal." He hissed at the end.

You hummed at his response and took another sip, "Guess we are same."

He glanced at you with his handsome face and you couldn't deny it, "Coincidence?"

"Maybe." You chuckled and look at his teammates, "What's up with your teammates? They're slower than a snail."

"I don't have any idea but we have our secret weapon. That's what Kazemaru said."

"Secret weapon, hmm?"You hummed and mentioning the boy who could helplessly dodge the ball, "You mean that kid as a new goalkeeper."

"You mean that weirdo? A goalkeeper?"Genda grimaced when you mentioned it and you noticed it.

"Like hell he is. I don't know why that criminal put him in charge. He doesn't even have the courage to catch that freaking ball!"He growled in anger, clenching his fists tightly with the two of you now looking at him. Both of you scowled simultaneously in anger when he placed his feet on the goalpost.

"That piece of shit."Both of you said in sync before looking at each other with wide eyes and burst into a fit of laughter.

"Guess we have something in common."The male said, calming himself down and smiled when he received a grin from you.

"Then who is he by the way?"

"Are you interested in him?"He teased, nudging you softly, though he is hoping it is not true.

You rolled your eyes, "Not even when pigs would lay egg." He chuckled at your sarcastic response.

"Shimerigawa Kageru. I heard he's the son of one of the academy's higher-ups."

"So that 'criminal' put someone useless like him as a keeper? Unexpected from someone like him." You laughed lightly as he does the same.

Shaking your head softly with a smile remained on your face, you were about to take another sip when you noticed something and called out the male as he hummed in reply before looking at you.

"Buy me another soda."

"No."He deadpanned.

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want too."

"Come on, I'll go and have a date with you if you do."You joked and caught a glimpse of him standing up. How whole movements halted when you suddenly wrapped your palm around his wrist, giving him a puzzled look when he turned around to look at you.

"Where are you going?" You furrowed your eyebrows together and he took your hand in his, "To buy you a drink, duh." He bluntly pointed out and pulled you closer. "To have a date with you." He whispered in your ear, making your eyes widened and pulled yourself away to look at his face that adorned with a confident yet cocky smirk and send a wink.

"H-Hold up. You know I'm just joking–"You started but stopped when he covered his ears with his gloved palms, turning around to walk away towards where the vending machine located.

"Genda!"

"I can't hear you!"

"Oi!"

"Lalalala!!"

"Oh my god–Come back here you little brat—!"You immediately stood up to run after him, tackling him from behind as he laughed out loud. Unaware of four pairs of eyes looking at you and the male from afar with a hint of jealousy. While another pair only look at the scene, clearly uninterested.

Miura glanced back at you two then back at his best friends then to Kidou and Haizaki before casting his gaze back at the match, taking a sip of his drink.

"My sister is so famous."He mumbled but not like he has any difference with you.

───────────────

You look at the aluminum can in your hand with a stoic look on your visage as the male smirked at you.

"Deal is a deal. I'll take you out this Sunday." The male exclaimed, walking closer towards your figure and making you backed away.

"Fine and for this 'date', all treat is on you. Thanks for the drink though." You said with a monotone voice as if your soul just slipped out from your body, held up your hand for gesturing him to stop coming closer. He took your hand in his gloved hand and kissed your knuckles.

You raised your eyebrow at his sudden behavior, almost choking on your drink, "What's up with kissing my hand?" You uttered, loud enough for him to hear and he flashed you a sweet smile. He is so uncharacteristic in your opinion. He supposed to be cocky and have the pride to do so.

"Hey, kiss me if I’m wrong, but dinosaurs still exist, right?

Okay, now he is being an idiot.

"Dude-"You laughed, pulling your hand away, "Okay, that's way too cheesy and not to mention hilarious because there is Nessie in Scotland so jokes on you."He laughed lightly at your reply, clearly amusing.

"And I swear to god that if you become more 'flirty' than this, you can't blame me if I change it into 'filthy'. "You threatened him, mocking as if you were about to punch him with your hand-formed into a fist. He raised his hands in surrender until he heard your band making a beeping sound and he sure you heard it too.

Looking over it, you flashed him a small smile, "Well, that's my cue. See you–" You were cut off when he gives you a quick peck your cheek. It doesn't take any second for the heat began to creep up on your neck and settled on your cheeks.

"Wh-What the—"You stammered, obviously still flustered at what just happened as you trying your fucking best to regain back your composure. Oh, how you miss it already.

Genda glanced at you, chuckling lightly. As much he would love to have more time with you, it looks like it ended with a simple sound. Guess he should wait for the date.

"Since I'm wrong, I got to kiss you."He pulled you with your wrist to the field, grinning to himself when you were speechless with your face remained red because of embarrassment.

"Okay. Stob it." You rolled your eyes playfully, recovered from your tomato state as you pushed him but not hard enough as you walked over to your coach and placed your drink on the bench. "Coach–" You paused to look at the current score and glanced at your band time.

"Really? I missed almost everything in the match just because I went to grab some drink?"You frowned to yourself when you realized there is only a few minutes remained. And not only that, you glanced over your teammates and it looks like most of them are exhausted.

"We are one point behind," You sighed and grinned mischievously, "Saa, I guess it's time to show my skills on this field now, "Zhao smirked and clapped his hands to gain everyone's attention,

"Switching player, everyone. Goujin-kun, you will switch with [L/N]-san." He exclaimed and it looks like the certain boy doesn't have anything to against it since he is already tired when he immediately lay down on the floor as the boy who is wearing the mask pouring down the cold water on his face, "And it's time to play pretend-foosball!"

Walking to your position which is next to Asuto, flashed some of the opponent members a smile, "It's been a while, Kazemaru." The said male flashed you a small smile and nodded his head. "Yeah. You finally showed yourself at the last minute and with the current point, we may win this match. We are getting stronger now."

"I could tell." You send him a smug grin, "But it's not only you."Pointing yourself with a full of pride with your thumb before extending your arm out for a shaking hand and he happily grabbed it, not hearing a 'tch' from the certain male, " And I'll steal that two points away."

"Ah, if it's not the Infinity Striker."You tilted your head to the side to look at the male with brown mohawk-like hairstyle, with white streaks at the sides who flashed you a mischievous smirk who then walked over you with Kazemaru.

"Wanna do a bet?"

You hummed as if you are thinking, "No, thanks."

"I don't take no as an answer so here is the bet."

"You asshole–"

"If I win this, you will join Teikoku Academy and leave Raimon." He paused, "But if you win, nothing happens." This makes you irked with his answer.

"Oi, baldy! How about you find the word 'fair' in the dictionary and circle it?!"

"I still have hair, god damn it! Go search the meaning of 'bald' in google!"

"Even google would say that you're bald!"You mocked, " I mean, even the Internet would deny the fact that you have hair."Kazemaru laughed softly at your reply while the certain male is not.

"Konoyaro--!"He managed to say through his gritting teeth in anger when he had a murder written all over on his eyes as you stick out your tongue in a playful manner.

Mansaku looked over Hiura and noticed the uncomfortable look in his feature, making the male raised an eyebrow at the bluenette, "Are you jealous?"

The question caught the mall off guard as he startled and have a faint blush across his cheeks, waving his hands in front of him, " N-No, I'm not!"He denied.

Mansaku could only squint his eyes and shrugged it off though he could tell the look on his face clearly the opposite of his words when you felt someone tugged your wrist, pulling your slightly backward.

"But, [L/N]-san. There are no lines on the field." Asuto frowned but you gestured him to calm down by giving him a small smile before pointing on the ground.

"Keep calm, Asuto and take a look at the field and you will see it. I bet your bodies already remembered where the lines are."He did as what you told, missing the look of you when shivers run down to your spine as you recalled the training.

───────────────

Well, you didn't expect this to be your training. When you arrived at the soccer practice field, you saw red lines all over the field and it looks like–

Then it hit you.

"Coach–!" You were cut off by being too surprise when he started giving a sexual description as an example to not cross the line. He noticed your intense glare and immediately stopped, clearing his throat with a few beads of sweat on his forehead and temples, "Okay, that's why you mustn't cross the line!" He shouted with his arms formed into an 'X'.

"But we must steal the ball, right? Then–"

"No is NO!" He cut him off, "It's as if you–"

"Say it and Imma gonna end your whole damn career." You exclaimed, cracking your knuckles.

"Yes, ma'am." He said in a low tone but he recovered quickly, "Just don't cross the line or you will face a punishment!"

The punishment?

Your eyes widened in horror when you are standing in front of 'that' door.

Looking around the room nervously, you recalled the event when the last time you including the others use this room.

『 flashback』

They want you to choose one of the room so you decided to choose the room that includes Kazemaru, someoka, and Shoujin.

"This thing is nuts!"

"Dangerous! This is dangerous!

"9999 seconds. . . isn't that would be 2 hours 46 minutes 30 seconds?!" You yelled, while still running, of course.

"What?!" They screamed simultaneously and Kazemaru looks at you as he almost stumble, "So we need to run for almost 3 hours?!"

"Yes! Hey! Don't stop running!"

"WE ARE GOING TO DIE!"

『 end of the flashback』

Shivers run down to your spine, your body froze in shock when you saw there are lots of different rooms that clearly different from the last time you use it!

"You gotta be kidding me!" You yelled out in disbelief as everyone look at you with confuse look, however, Zhao has an opposite look on his face.

"What's wrong, [L/N]-san? It's just a training room, right?" Asked Hiura with his eyebrow raised, clearly confuse at the drastic change of your attitude that always calm. You shook your head furiously, backing away, "You don't understand. Anyway, I'm out from this hell–"

Before you could finish, Zhao has an unknowing glint in his eyes and with the help of a boy that wearing a mask that looks like him, Lakee, he pushed you as you stumbled inside one of the rooms, "O-Oi! Wh–"The door was shut and everyone could only stare at it anxiously.

"Lakee! How dare you betrayed me!"Everyone heard you pounding from behind the door as the said boy could only pray for you that you would survive, while your voice soon fades.

After a few seconds of silence, they could hear you screaming from the other side of the door. Worry and anxious immediately engulfed the team and by worry, they are extremely worried! Hiura and Asuto rushed over the door, knocking it loudly by their fists.

"[L/N]-san!!"The light blue-haired male screamed out your name in panic tone while Asuto was about to complain to the Chinese coach in an almost angry tone, but-

"Now, now, don't be envy." Zhao exclaimed, gesturing for them to calm down, "You will experience it later so don't worry." They stared at their coach in shock and gulped down the lump in their throat.

───────────────

Slowly a wide grin makes its way on his face, "You are right!"Everyone did the same, receiving the same expression like the male and it looks like their movements improved. The secret behind this strategy is normally, several players would press the player in possession in order to steal the ball, however, with two players in adjacent areas constantly supporting each other and for their teammates can preserve their stamina.

As you dribble the ball that was passed to you from Asuto, four Teikoku's players blocked your path to prevent you from going any further, knowing they couldn't trust their current keeper to block it. Even so, that wouldn't stop you from winning.

"Dash Storm."You summons a wind storm in your dribble path which got the Teikoku's players blown away by the wind. When you arrived at the front goal, you stopped which is confusing the others including Shimerigawa especially when you grinned, pointing upwards at the keeper which caused him to look up and you casually scored the ball.

"GOAL!!"

Realizing what happened, he looks at you with his face flushed red like a madman, "You tricked me!" He roared, pointing at your direction angrily.

You didn't say anything as a reply, remained calm and shrugged your shoulder, "I don't know." Sighing, a smirk grows on your lips, "It's your fault for being too stupid."

And before he could say any word, you run over to your teammates, leaving him stomping his feet in an angry manner while chanting 'damn it' over and over as Genda looked at the situation with an amusing smile before switched his gaze on you.

"Switch out Shimerigawa for Genda." He heard the male next to him said, making him lifted his head with a smirk plastered on his physiognomy as Kageyama did a signal to switch player. Shimerigawa gives him a smug look that soon was replaced with shock when Genda told him to switch the player and that Kageyama is the one who instructed him to.

You watched as Shimerigawa was being taken away by some of the guards while squirming to escape, trying your best to not to laugh but you snickered instead. Genda noticed this and flashed you a smile and you could hear some girls start screaming and squealing.

You give him thumbs up and a toothy grin with your eyes closed before turning your back to him and walked to the others. With Genda here, you know it very well that it will be hard for you to score a goal now.

You passed the ball to Asuto and he passed it back to you and you to Hiura and Hiura to Mansaku and so on to confuse the opponent players. Honestly, you have fun with this one. When the ball rolled towards you, placing your feet on it as you watch the players trying to snatch it away from you but failed.

Getting yourself ready to shoot the ball, you smirked silently and sent it towards Kozoumaru instead of making a shoot. However, when Kozoumaru use his Fire Tornado hissatsu technique, just like you expected that he successfully stopped it.

But what you didn't expect is when he comes from up in the air to the ground, landing with one hand on the ball right in front of you, making some of your hair strands hides some part of your face and you swore you saw a smirk on his face before he threw the ball right past your head, which caused your hair to flow around in the air because of the gush of wind.

"Were you trying to hurt me or what?"You flashed him an irritated smile.

"How was that, princess?"His smirk became wider as brushed a few strands of your hair away from your face and tucked it behind your ear.

You grabbed his gloved hand away and a smirk makes its way to your lips, "Oh, we just started, sweetheart." Sending each other a competitive smirk before returned back to your main position, the same goes for him.

You formed a signal with your hand for them to give you the ball as with 3 minutes left and Kozoumaru nodded his head, trusting you fully and send you the ball.

You caught it with your leg and dribbling it gracefully before chanting, "Bīsuto . . ." You howl, making the surroundings change to a hill with a giant full moon. Genda took notice of this and grip his heart as if in pain with his eyes turn red as if he is possessed and he leans forward.

"Hai Bīsuto..."He then summoned a huge green beast while you summoned the silhouette of a giant wolf's face that appeared behind you,

"Rōdo!"                   "Fangu!!"

Both you screamed the technique name in sync and you kicked the ball with your sole while the giant wolf growling loudly which giving more energy to the shoot while Genda leaps forward with green energy around his hands. Big green fangs appear and they bite onto the shot.

You watched as he is trying all his might to stop your attack with his fellow team members rooting for encouraging him to stop the attack but failed miserably and was sent away into his goal net and fell on the ground because of the pressure, almost losing his consciousness.
