The current score should be enough to determine the winner. And yet, that person is still not satisfied until the result of the match was set.

How greedy.

"Let's do it. We'll do it. Do it!"

Your gaze landed on his trembling body and it looks like he is now having a hard time deciding and debating with himself.

Exchanging a knowing look with your twin brother, a gentle smile invaded your lips as the two of you simultaneously brought your hand up.

Giving him a light assuring push on his back, watching how his body slowly relaxed and gave the twin a grateful smile, mumbling a small yet sincere ' thank you '.

Miura gave him a thumb up and you only gave him a peace sign with your both index and middle fingers before retracting your hand off from his back as you two walking backwards to your original position for the Hissatsu Tactic.

He took a deep breath and exhaled it lowly before he reaches his arm outwards, which is the signal of the beginning of the forbidden technique; Grid Omega.

"Grid Omega: Phase one!"

As that was your cue, both you and Miura hastily dashed toward the opponents that soon the action was followed by the teammates as a gust of thick fuchsia wind washed over the opponents and consumed the whole area of the field, blinding some view of the audience in the arena.

"I'm sorry, Yuuto."

That's the only sentence you could utter as you ran past the opponent's playmaker. Despite his vision was blinded, he managed to recognize the voice of his friend even due to how low her voice was.

"[Y/N]-"

"Phase two!"

He stopped in the middle of his sentence when he felt his feet were lifted off from the ground, taking him by surprise though his brain couldn't process the situation.

All of the Seishou Gakuen's players including their goalkeeper were sucked into a huge pinkish-red colored tornado, circulating around and off the ground along with them up high to the sky.

From the ground, you silently watched the rare colored whirlwind while standing next to your captain, closing your eyes when he uttered the next words to end the tactic,

"Phase three."

As the words slipped past his lips in a surprisingly low tone with his eyes slowly hiding behind his eyelids, the tornado disappeared suddenly and caused all the players from Seishou Gakuen to fall towards the ground hard that you can hear a loud thud coming from them with the pain jolted around their muscles at the impact which is a great disadvantage for the rest of the match.

A light tap on your legs was enough to make you open your [ color ] orbs and brought your gaze down on the two colored ball that was passed from Nosaka.

Eyes not looking up from the ball, you casually dribbling the ball past some unconscious body of the opponents while others remained groaning in pain. You didn't want to look at them.

Your guilt might make you mess up your concentration.

Yet you stopped when the corner of your eyes recognized the figure with a cape, struggling to stand up but failed miserably by falling back on the ground with a groan.

You felt your hands twitched but quickly brought it back down, restraining yourself from helping the opponent and deep down, you know it wasn't your place to help him in the first place after what you've done to him.

"I would never think in my whole life that I would see the famous Kidou Yuuto in this kind of condition."You taunted while looking down at the male, concealing the concern in your voice with a light chuckle and barely kicking the ball as it made its way slowly into the net goal, passing by the unconscious goalkeeper.

Thus is the final score that was shown on the screen once the sound of the whistle erupted as the emcee announced the end of this match. Everyone already expected the result since any team that's fighting yours was considered as an underdog.

"Good work. Let's do our best again in the next match."Nosaka's voice snapped you out of your train of thought as you hummed in reply,

"I doubt that I did my best today."

───────────────

"What was that?"

Your feet halted in your tracks, lowering down your blue-colored pocari sweat water bottle brand from your mouth and lightly pressed down the lid to prevent the cold drink in the bottle from spilling.

"Oh, Hiura, "

Using the white towel over your head to wipe off the remained dripping water from your hair after washing your head and draped it around your shoulders before turning around to meet his burning gaze so you can have a proper conversation with the blue-haired teen,

"It's been a while."

"Now answer my question."

"Not going to greet me now? How cold. But it still matches with your characteristic."

"[L/N]-san."

"Hiura, everything that we did on the field is for the sake of our team. Someone like you should able to understand, right?"

"But must you go that far?!"He snapped, walking close to where you're standing and stopped when he is only inches away. You would've back away if he didn't block your way out with his hand on the wall- is this what people call kabedon?

"This is not you and you know that, [Y/N]."

Oh, if only you didn't give your mask to Miura for him to hold for you, you wouldn't be embarrassed in this kind of situation but-

"No one knows me more than myself, Kirina."You forced down the red hue from letting it blooming on your cheeks by narrowing your eyes, "And this is because of my own decision to do so."

Before he could say anything, you quickly slipped away through the gap under his arm and ran away without turning back. You could've punched him in the gut but you're not a monster and you couldn't bear to see him getting hurt.

You would if it was some unknown stranger though.

Thanks to your athletic stamina, you didn't have to catch a breath after running such distant back to others. Though, Nishikage requested you to find Nosaka and hand him a towel since he and Miura need to run some errands that Nosaka told him earlier. Probably matters related to a dormitory or something.

But, you didn't like the situation that you accidentally involved yourself between the two; the manager of Raimon and your captain.

"Nosaka-san!"

"Sorry, did I interrupt you two?"

You decided to step in when she raised her voice, something that you didn't fond of and would've kept your profile low if she spoke in a tone that's still audible and yet, didn't make your ears ringing.

"[L/N]-san-"

"No, you're not. Thank you for bringing me a towel, [Y/N]."Anna was shortly cut off by the rubicund-haired captain when he is aware of your presence, jogging over to you with a smile that doesn't show any sign of leaving from his face.

"Were you waiting for me so long? I'm sorry about that. Shall we go have some ice cream after this? My treats, of course."He gave you an apologetic smile as you handed him the towel, briefly peering over to the female; who is looking at you with a frown- over his shoulder, though he tilted his head to the side to block your view from her.

"Is there something wrong?"

Looking up to him, you shrugged as he gestured for you to follow him to the nearest ice cream store so the two of you could return to the dorm before curfew. Head slightly turns around to look at the long-haired girl as she watched the two of you leaving from behind in silence.

Your gaze now switched back to the taller male when he gently tapping your shoulder to have your attention, raising an eyebrow,

"You're immensely being silent than usual. What's wrong?"

"I . . . "Before you could continue, you flinched when your phone; that Nishikage gave to you beforehand, in case something bad might happen- suddenly vibrating, signaling you there is a message.

Fishing it out from the pocket of your tracksuit jacket without stopping, a smile that couldn't be hidden crept up on your face. Seeing that, Nosaka couldn't help but questioning you.

"It looks like our opponents have a similarity with us."You answered and somehow, he got the hint but, just to make sure,

"You mean?"

"There's also a twin in that team."

Ah, he was right. But he hates that he was right this time.

"You mean . . . "His eyes narrowed and when you showed him the pictures of the infamous duo, according to you at least, as his frown deepened.

"Shirou and Atsuya-! The handsome duo will be there."

Nosaka cringed at what you just said and scoffed, another something that he is rare to do.

"Yeah, your crushes will be our opponents in the next match."

"They're not my crushes, sir, "You did an air quote with your fingers in a sarcastic manner, "-and there's no reason for you to be mad. You're handsome too."

Satisfied with your answer, especially when you look at him with a smile after switched off your phone and pocketing it back in your pocket- he gave you a light laugh and hummed with a look that's now matching yours.

Except for the fact the color of his ears now matches with his hair, making sure you couldn't notice and see his flaw from hiding his happiness.
