In the end, Hakodate Nishi accepted the fact that their schedule had been moved abruptly to the evening session. Of course, they didn’t do it peacefully. So of the hot-tempered guys like Fujinaga and Jun kept shouting even after walking out of the stadium.
"This is a fucking disgrace!" Fujinaga cursed furiously. "How could you act so nonchalantly after such a huge mistake?! Let’s see if you can stay this calm after we blow it up on the Internet!"
"Yeah, you fucker! You think you are good enough just because this is your ho?!" Jun added, making so many rude gestures with his hand. "Don’t think you can get away with this shit, Man!"
Honestly, all the Toin Gakuen players wanted to be angry for all the insults thrown at them. However, they couldn’t really say anything here, not when the stadium completely sided with them. They still didn’t know whether this was deliberate or not, but at least, this incident was enough to spark a heat between those two teams.
"Okay, everyone, since our schedule has been moved, let’s switch it with our eting first," Kumiko called all of her players to follow her.
Her calm deanor startled so of them, and Kenji, being a curious boy he was, couldn’t help but ask, "Senpai, aren’t you angry for this?"
The others also looked at the girl secretly, not wanting to draw too much attention due to their curiosity. However, they all felt like out of everyone else, she should be the angriest here. After all, if Hakodate Nishi’s head coach were anyone other than her, a re female student, they wouldn’t be disrespected this badly by everyone here.
As an answer, Kumiko just turned her head slowly, giving the boys her purest smile that could make even a baby cry. "Oh, don’t get wrong, I am so furious right now." She said it sweetly. "I have already had a list of things they did to tick off, and I will get my revenge later. Just make sure that you shut them up, and leave everything outside of the pitch for , okay?"
All the Hakodate Nishi players shivered, nodding their heads quickly. "Sure, Ma’am!" Hell, they even forgot their anger for a mont, all getting snatched by Kumiko herself.
They soon arrived back at the hotel, asking the managent to borrow one eting room there. Fortunately, this ti, there was no disrespect, and they could just start the eting without any problem. However, the tension was quite high already, especially with Kumiko being in quite a foul mood right there.
"Okay, even though we only t them for a short ti, I know that you heard about what they were saying, right?" The girl spoke solemnly. "Yes, we defeat Sapporo Otani, and yes, they acknowledge us as a strong team, but they would rather play against us rather than having to fight against Yuwell Carlson..."
This made all the jolly and relaxed atmosphere that still remained there leave the room, as everyone was imdiately tense. Not all of them heard that, but the closest ones, like Makino and Higo, caught what so of those people said not-so-secretly.
"Let’s be honest here. Since the article from the Daily Sports was published, we have already expected this. We would be disrespected more for the rest of the tournant, being put aside for almost everything. No matter how good we are, people outside, especially our opponent, will always say that it is better for us than Yuwell Fucking Carlson! Can you really accept this insult?!"
"No, Ma’am!" Everyone shouted together.
This wasn’t just for their anger, but when the girl who usually was very calm suddenly cursed like this, they had to answer the call.
"Good! But words alone are not enough to silence them! Only action! Action! And action! Can shut the hell out of them! So, let’s prove to the world that we, the weakest team in this tournant, are stronger than anyone else!"
"Heck, yeah!"
At this ti, no one really cared about tactics or strategy. No, they all were too pumped up to let their brain do the work. Right now, everyone has one thing on their mind. They couldn’t wait for the ga tomorrow to arrive soon, wanting to show the world that they, a group of newbies from Hakodate, were stronger than anyone else outside.
The pep-talk was enough to make the players go with 110 percent of their effort right now. Even those who liked to wander around in the eting, as Jun or Kenji listened to every word coming out of Kumiko’s mouth carefully, not wanting to miss even a single thing.
"Okay, so, with the target of breaking Naoya’s defense, we will start constructing our lineup!" When the last word was spoken, everyone straightened their back imdiately. "Goalkeeper, still the sa!"
Higo just nodded silently, giving everyone a thumbs-up.
"Defenders, the twins at the flanks with Makino-kun, Jun-kun, and Ishinori-kun guarding the center." The girl continued.
Jun was the only one who was surprised here, since he didn’t really play well in the last couple of gas. The boy thought that he would be replaced by Sano, but it seed that Kumiko still trusted him in a big ga like tomorrow.
"Midfield, I will leave it to Kazawa-kun, Takaaki-kun, and Usami-kun."
Even though Fujinaga was disappointed that he wasn’t chosen again, he didn’t say anything here. The boy knew that this was not the ti he could put his ego on the line. No, the team’s honor first, and if he had a chance to contribute later, he would go with his 110 percent for that.
"Finally... Our front two..." This ti, Kumiko trailed her voice behind for the dramatic effect. "Hiroshi-kun an Kenji-kun, you are in. Your task is simple: you just have to destroy Naoya completely. Among us all here, you are the most capable ones. What do you think about it?"
Well, when facing that kind of a challenge, they couldn’t really show any weakness, right?
Moreover, while they were still feeling intimidated by Naoya’s defensive ability, right now, an excitent also surged inside their heart. Those two just stared at each other quickly, and like a telepathy, a grin ford on both faces at the sa ti.
"Don’t worry, Senpai," Kenji spoke. "Consider the job done!"
