Training Room

Koji made sure to score average on all the physical tests.

Kira: So what was it like in ANHS?

Koji: Each year was split into 4 classes based on ability with Class A having the best students and Class D having the worst.

Kira: That seems harsh.

Koji: Well you were able to promote your class.

Kira: I see. What class were you put in?

Koji: Class D. Though with a lot of effort our Class has made it to Class B and before I left was on the verge of attaining Class A.

Kira: Woah. You guys must have been really amazing to be able to do that.

Koji: I suppose.

Kira: How was it over there?

Koji: It was very busy. Always something going on.

Kira: Hey Ayankoji. Do regret leaving ANHS?

Koji: Not really... there is one thing I regret about it.

Kira: What is it?

Koji: My girlfriend is still over there. I won't be able to see her for a while. (My Guy has no idea that saying "I'm Glad" in response to "I love you" isn't equivalent to saying "Let's date")

Kira: You have a girlfriend!?

Koji: Yeah. Is it so strange?

Kira- He just doesn't look the type.

Kira: Um I guess not. It's just I heard girls that attend ANHS are kind of stuck up.

Koji: Not really. Well, she was at the beginning but most girls aren't like her in ANHS.

Kira: I see.

Koji: What about you?

Kira: No nothing like that.

Koji: Well we should get back to training.

They trained for a while until Koji met with Chigiri.

Chigiri: You're a strange one Ayanokoji. Despite the goals you've made in training you haven't ever shown happiness.

Koji: I'm just not very expressive.

Chigiri: That's strange for a Football Player. Why are you here?

Koji: I'm just here on a whim. 

Chigiri: A whim?

Koji: I've only been playing for a little over a year. I'd never been interested in it before but my friend dragged me into the sport.

Chigiri: I see.

Koji: Chigiri. Your leg. The way you hold on to your leg. Is it injured?

Chigiri: I... yes. An ACL tear.

Koji: I see. My friend Hirata told me how that kind of injury can end a person's career. You're lucky to be on the field.

Chigiri: I suppose we're the same. I'm also here on a whim.

Koji- A clear lie.

The Next Day

Bachira approached Koji and jumped on his back.

Bachira: Even the monster couldn't predict you'd do that. You're really interesting you know?

Koji: Hm? Thanks, I guess.

Bachira: Care for some training?

Bachira puts the ball on the ground.

Koji- Alright. Time to see what he's capable of.

Bachira dribbles the balls doing some quick stepovers as Koji's eyes follow the ball as he counters each of his attempts to get through.

Bachira backs off pulling the ball back with him.

Bachira: Woah Koji. You're something. I've never met anyone who can do that.

Koji: Koji?

Bachira: Your name is too long so I shortened it.

Koji: I see. Can I ask you a question?

Bachira: Sure.

Koji: Why did you pass to Isagi at that moment?

Bachira: There's a monster inside me. It tells me what to do. Go there. Move around more.

Bachira's Aura manifests from his eyes.

Bachira: Pass to him because he has a monster in him too.

Koji- Hm. What an interesting mindset even if it is a crutch.

Bachira: But I was wrong in the end. The true monster was you.

Koji: I see. We're having our match against Team X tomorrow. Are you ready?

Bachira: Well of course.

—————————————————————————————————————

The Next Day

Team Z and X entered the field and Koji noticed a burly boy in the team.

Koji- That one is the most capable. No doubt about it.

The match starts as Raichi steals the ball from Kira.

Kira: Huh?

Raichi: The top scorer goes through no matter what right? Then I don't give a shit about the rest of you.

Raichi rushes forward with the ball when Immamura steals it and Team X joins in on the frenzy.

Imamura: Same for me.

Koji walked up to Kira.

Koji: They're all tearing at each other for a chance at the ball. Like animals. Kira In the heat of this kind of conflict what do you think will decide the match?

Suddenly Barou broke through the madness with the ball. He easily got past Kira.

Koji- It's best to let him score.

Koji rushes at him trying to stop him half-heartedly. He failed on purpose and Barou scored. 

Announcer: Goal by Barou Shoiei. Team X (1)- Team Z (0)

Barou: I am the King. You plebs should work to help me shine.

The match restarted as Barou's team seemed to rally behind him. A Team X member races forward with the ball as Barou gets into position. Koji again pretended to give his all as Barou scored. Team Z was in shambles as they were desperate not to lose.

Announcer: Goal by Barou Shoiei. Team X (2)- Team Z (0)

Koji: Everyone. This isn't working. We have to do what they're doing and have someone who can score the majority of the goals for us.

Raichi: No way that I'll do that!

Koji: I'm not asking you to sacrifice your goals. By all means, if you have a shot take it but otherwise pass it to Kira.

Kira: Me?

Koji: You're our top-ranked player. It's only natural.

Koji- I'll hide my capabilities just for now.

Imamura had the ball as he dribbled forward.

Imamaru: You two can agree to whatever you want. I'm going to score.

Imamura rushed upfield when a Team X member stole the ball from him passing it to Barou. 

Barou: That's a good pleb.

Barou rushed forward when Koji intercepted him.

Barou: Get out of my way you damn pleb.

Koji stole the ball from him and raced down the side of the field. He passed to Bachira.

Bachira: Oh to me Koji?

Bachira rushed forward with the ball as he performed roulette and step-overs to get past the opponents. Bachira then saw Koji in an open space and crossed it to him.

Koji- And now to give it to the hero of this story.

Koji saw Kira in a space and passed to him as Kira shot eh ball into the goal.

Announcer: Goal by Ryosuke Kira. Team X (2)- Team Z (1)

The Ball restarted with Barou as he raced upfield charging forward. Koji showed up and easily stole it from him.

Barou: Huh!? What the fuck. Again? You fucking peasant!

Koji: Kira. Let's go!

Koji and Kira rushed through the field doing 1-2 passes until Koji stopped passing to him.

Koji- At this point, everyone's adjusted and He's now a liability.

Koji used a roulette to get past a defender and crossed the ball to Kira.

Kira- Me again?

Kira shot the ball as it hit the top left corner of the net.

Announcer: Goal by Ryosuke Kira. Team X (2)- Team Z (2)

Kunigami: That really was something man.

Koji: Thanks.

Bachira: You copied my roulette. So fun isn't it Koji?

Koji: I suppose.

Barou: You. I'll destroy you. 

Koji- His ego is huge. That would be good for his confidence but he's let it go out of control. He's now unwilling to pass the ball or budge on anything at all. I can tell that just from observing this much.

Raichi: Yes damn it. We're back to even.

Koji: It's not over yet. There is still 10 minutes on the clock.

Kira: Ayanokoji is right.

Barou starts with the ball.

Barou- I won't lose to this bastard again!

Barou dribbles with the ball forward. A Team X was racing downfield with him.

Team X Member: Pass here Barou. I'll give it right back.

Barou: Hell no.

Barou continues his charge when Koji shows up in front of him.

Koji: I'm afraid I can't let you through.

Barou: Fuck you, man.

Barou nutmegs Koji as he makes it past but before he can retrieve the ball Bachira has the ball and passes the ball up forward to Gagamaru on the left wing who rushes forward.

Koji- This is getting underway.

Koji rushes forward down the right wing making his position obvious to Gagamaru who passes it to him.

Koji: Kira. Get in position!

Kira is running down the middle as Koji passes to him. Kira receives it but as he's about to score Barou blocks the shot.

Kira: Damn it.

The ball lands at Kunigami's feet and he shoots the ball into the goal with tremendous force as it slams into the top left corner.

Announcer: Goal by Kunigami Rensuke. Team X (2)- Team Z (3). (Whistle Sound). The Match Has Concluded.

Kunigami: Yes!

Barou: Damn it!

Team Z celebrated.

Kira: We did it.

Kira fell back onto his backside. Koji offered his hand to help him back up. Kira took his hand and got up.

Koji: It's all thanks to Kira. Without him, we'd be 2 goals down.

Kira was shocked.

Kira: I um... Yeah. I'll do my best.

Koji- Despite his compassionate and kind demeanour he's an egoist just like the rest of them. Deep inside.
