"Yaaahhhh!"
Izaya let out a bright, unrestrained cheer, sprinting toward Haruma, who already turned away from the spot, and was walking off with a faint smile.
The crowd erupted, as the thunderous cheers ripped through the stands, as the crowd were bouncing on their feet, celebrating with bubbling excitent. Rukia, standing among them, was watching with a stunned smile, still catching up to what she'd just seen.
From the field, Kabuto threw his arms ahead, and pumped them in quick bursts, a loose, almost careless grin on his face, letting out an unrestrained cheer of.
"Woohowowowo."
Nagisa stayed where he was, arms folded, expression unchanged, while at the back Kurogami lifted his hands up above his head and clapped with calm and composed energy.
Across the field, Toru stood frozen, eyes wide in raw disbelief, while beside him, Masaru rested his hands on his hips, a faint, quiet smile forming as he watched.
Izaya ca running and leaps onto Haruma's side, ruffling his hair without holding back. Jiho followed right after, charging in with a loud shout and bumping his chest onto Haruma's side, while Haruma didn't resist, he just smiled through it it all
A few steps away, Raya was jogging towards them, a relaxed smile on his face as he closed the distance…
The whistle cut through the noise again, and Hanaka High restarted play.
A player pushed forward with the ball, scanning quickly before spotting Masaru making a run toward the net, his arm raised, calling for it.
He drew a breath and swung his leg, but before he could connect, Izaya ca running in, and hit the ball right off his foot with flawless precision.
The player staggered, losing balance for a split second before throwing himself back in, desperate to recover. But Izaya was already moving, one quick touch, nudging the ball out of reach again, keeping it just beyond the challenge as he took control.
In response, the player grabbed at Izaya, trying to hold him back as another Hanaka defender was rushing in to close him down.
Keeping his calm, Izaya just smiles, and at the very last instant, Izaya snapped the ball forward, slicing it clean through his legs. A sharp, humiliating nutg.
For a split second, both the tackler and the one holding him froze, caught completely off guard.
That was all Izaya needed. He ripped himself free from the grip, twisting out with sudden force, already accelerating after the ball, bursting into space before anyone could react.
But just as he reached it, Masaru ca charging in, throwing himself into a desperate sliding tackle, boots carving hard across the turf.
Izaya reacted in a split second. He pulled the ball back cleanly at the last mont, letting the slide rush through empty space ahead him.
Without breaking rhythm, Izaya then swung his leg sending the ball flying high and long upfield in a single, controlled release that instantly shifted play forward.
The ball was traveling through the air, and underneath it, Raya ca running, leaping, eting it with a clean header, sending the ball away, keeping the montum flowing instead of letting it settle.
Sensing danger, Shino clenched his teeth and exploded into a sprint, chasing it down with urgency as the pace of the ga snapped forward again.
Reaching just under the dropping ball, Shino swung his leg up for a full clearance, aiming to send it out of danger.
But with an explosive speed, Jiho arrived first, launched himself into the air from the side, eting it mid-flight.
Instead of forcing power, Jiho simply tapped it up with a light header, keeping the ball in air before landing cleanly and already shifting forward toward the drop point.
Overco with frustration, Shino lunged in again, trying to grab him and slow him down, but he wasn't enough to overpower the strength of Jiho.
With a sharp burst, Jiho slipped himself free,
shaking him off and cutting past him, before reaching underneath the ball he nudged it upward, sending it high into the air towards the box.
The ball arced high and began to drop toward the box, hanging in that dangerous space just long enough to trigger panic in the defense, as the players rushed in, boots scrambling, bodies converging to clear it before it could settle.
But Haruma was already there. Rushing in through the defensive line he reaches and launches himself upward with a clean, powerful, perfectly tid header, redirecting the ball toward the right side of the net.
The goalkeeper reacted instantly, diving with an outstretched arm, but it was already beyond his reach.
The ball slipped past him and hit the inside of the net.
Haruma landed smoothly, taking a couple of quick steps forward to balance his montum before settling back into control.
The crowd erupted once again, voices surging across the stadium in waves of celebration. Rukia bounced in her seat, clapping with a bright, uncontrollable smile, fully caught in the energy of the mont.
On the sidelines, the principal was on his feet, applauding with enthusiasm, his cheers aid straight at the field, while Haruma's mother clapped gently, a soft, proud smile on her face as she watched him.
On the field, Haruma with a calm smile on his face lifted a single fist up toward the stands in quiet acknowledgent.
From the side, Jiho and Izaya were already closing in on him, both running in with wide, excited grins as the celebration rolled on around them.
Toru throws his arms up, before kicking the grass in helpless frustration.
Shino stood there breathing heavily, wiping sweat from his forehead as he tried to steady himself. Not far off, Masaru had settled onto the grass, sitting quietly with a blank face.
At the back of the field, Kabuto and Nagisa were seated on their spots on the turf, watching their team celebrate.
Kabuto had his usual grin, clearly entertained, while Nagisa sat with a bored, unbothered expression, as if the noise around him didn't quite reach.
Behind them all, Kurogami stood with his arms folded behind his back, calm and unreadable, observing the field with quiet, steady eyes…
The clock was now ticking into the 20th minute and it was Raya pushed forward with the ball tight to his feet, gliding through space with calm control movent.
A defender stepped in suddenly, blocking his path, arms spread wide, eyes locked onto the ball, drenched in sweat as visible panic was creeping into his stance.
Watching that player Raya gave a small, amused smile. "Yo… just relax a bit."
The defender quickly lunged in with his foot sliding in for the challenge.
But with no trouble, Raya gave the ball a light touch, a subtle shift of balance, and he was past him, drifting forward as if the pressure wasn't even there.
After a few monts, Shino arrived with force, crashing in from the side, shoulder slamming into Raya, forcing him to stop in his advance, trying to break his rhythm and force the ball loose.
Raya absorbed it calmly, as he adjusted his body mid-contact, a composed smile still lingering while he stayed upright and kept the ball close in control despite the pressure.
Shino, clearly frustrated now, kept jabbing his foot in again and again, trying to force the ball loose, but Raya stayed composed, a faint smile still on his face as he held his ground.
Then the sa defender from earlier returned, crashing in from the opposite side with a shoulder charge, stretching a foot in to poke the ball away.
Raya didn't flinch, he absorbed the pressure from both sides, body steady and balanced, adjusting his stance just enough to keep control. The ball stayed glued to him as he maneuvered through the contact, calmly shielding it while both players were pressing in.
Just then, Raya's eyes widened slightly, his smile deepening as a quiet shift passed through his expression.
"Sorry guys… the playti's over,"
He muttered under his breath before In one smooth motion, he jerked his body backward, dragging the ball with him and breaking free from the pressure.
Shino reacted instantly, lunging in and stretching his foot out to reclaim it but Raya was way faster than him.
With a sharp, controlled touch of his heel, Raya sent the ball rolling backward into space from where Jiho was running in.
Without breaking his run, Jiho struck the ball hard sending it soaring towards the box.
Toru clenched his fists, then burst forward.
"Cover HarumaaAaa!" he roared.
That single command snapped Hanaka High back into motion, players reacting instantly, rushing to collapse space around him.
The ball began to drop, and underneath it was Haruma Kusaka.
Rushing with explosive speed, Haruma's eyes were locked forward, refusing to break focus even for a second.
As it began to descend, two Hanaka High defenders jumped up to clear it with a header.
But Haruma had a different plan. He launched himself forward mid-air, stretching out his leg ahead with perfect timing.
With a clean, controlled touch, Haruma cushioned the dropping ball with his boot, killing its montum instantly and bringing it under his foot.
His pose was still suspended in air.
The Hanaka High crowd were left in stunned awe, watching Haruma's majestic airborne form with wide eyes
Rukia's jaw loosened slightly, her expression caught sowhere between shock and admiration, eyes shining as she followed every movent.
