Team Z VS Team W

"Well, look who we have here. If it ain't the two monkeys." Haruo looked at two nearly identical twins in the W Team jersey.

It was once again the two guys Haruo had met right at the beginning. It was those idiots that started a fight with him inside the bus to get the seats at the back.

[Football Prodigy: A]

Junichi was the elder of the two brothers and a small iro-cut while the younger twin had a short hair cut.

'Man, thinking about it now these guys are really lame. But that unique talent is something else.' According to the talent, both of them would keep the same talent.

That in itself was ridiculous enough but they also have very high chemistry between themselves. Looking at the other members of that team showed Haruo that they were pretty much the leading figures.

"Huh?! What did you sissy call us?" Asked the friendlier looking guy. But his attitude was as always nowhere near as friendly.

"What? Did I stutter or something?" Haruo looked rather bored. "Seems like you really can only see monkeys as your fated other if you can't differentiate gender."

"Sugewara, do you have a history with those two?" Isagi was a little bit surprised.

"Not really. They just annoyed me on the bus when we drove here." Then Haruo started to smile. "Well, I suppose I can kick these guys out sooner than I thought."

"You will swallow those words pretty soon." Junichi hissed and when kickoff started the twins started an attack.

They went through the midfield pretty quickly and had such a great synergy together that it was easy for them to pass pretty much everyone in the midfield.

When they were close to the defence it was Chigiri's And Isagi's part to shine. They were the ones on defence duty this time around.

"Shit! They are coming, Chigiri!" Isagi shouted and prepared himself.

Junichi heard that shout. "Chigiri? Don't tell me he's that Chigiri, the genius with the knee of glass? Hey, big bro! He's still playing football, what do you think? He couldn't have forgotten about our days of glory back then, right?"

The other brother stayed silent but made some freaking creepy face. Those dumb eyebrows that were cut into crocodiles looked as stupid as ever together with that face. Actually there was even a crocodile buzzed in the younger brother's hair.

God that guy could give you the creeps.

"Hmpf, your football career is already over, glass-knee - that's what my brother says."

At the exact same moment, they seemed to have broken through but Isagi was quick enough to slide in and win the ball.

The elder twin slammed right with his face into the ground.

"Are you shitting me, bitch!!? That's what my big brother shouts!"

Haruo looked at the back and already got somewhat of a headache from these two idiots.

"Chigiri, don't listen to any of that shit they are talking! I honestly don't care about your past or whatever! To me, you are Team Z's own Hyoma Chigiri!"

With that, Isagi passed the ball forward towards Imamura who shifted into an attack.

Haruo switched places and ran right at the moment when Raichi made a through ball forward between two defenders.

He got the ball quickly and started to dribble himself into the penalty box. After beating the two defenders on his tracks he placed a shot at the goal.

The goalkeeper was unable to hold it and it went in to make the first goal of the match.

Haruo only looked back and made some monkey jumping gestures toward the twins and went back to his position without celebrating much more.

The twins seemed too bothered about that goal and the younger brother with the 9 on his jersey shouted back that the defence should do their job properly.

When the match resumed they started another run but this time around Kunigami had the chance to cut the ball. But suddenly the twins seemed to increase their speed and passed the midfield once again.

That action got Haruo frowning a little bit since he could clearly see that these two guys had very good coordination. Why would they at first play on reserves?

Their attack pattern looked like it was aiming straight at Chigiri the whole time.

And since Chigiri was the one that was not giving his all it was easy for them to pass him and make a goal on their own.

That got the score to a 1 - 1.

"Ahaha!! Look at this idiot! He is as slow as he was back then." The counter brother laughed like some hyena.

"Damn it..." Raichi clicked his tongue.

"Okay, everyone. Keep concentrating. That is only one goal from them!"

Team Z started another attack and Haruo broke through to make a critical pass that nutmegged two defenders and landed in front of Bachira's feet.

The net rang and it stood 2 - 1.

"What the fuck are you assholes doing at the backline!!? That is what my brother shouts!" The number 9 still went on with his antics while his brother the 10 was only making weird lazy eye moves and other stupid ahego faces.

...

Team W started another attack and it was once again successful after they beat Chigiri. And if that was not enough Igarashi lost the ball and they attack again.

Making it a 2 - 3 for Team W.

"Oi! Chigiri, goddamn. Concentrate already!!" Raichi now lost it after seeing them going to lose after all the winning they did.

The game started its second half and it was rather obvious where the opponent would attack.

Haruo made another goal after Kuon passed the ball to him when he received a high ball from Bachira.

Still, that did not change Chigiri slowly standing like some statue in the defence and the score being 3 - 4 in favor of Team W.

Those twins each scored 2 goals and every time they used Chigiri as a weak link.

"Run, Chigiri! It's not over yet!!" Isagi shouted to wake Chigiri out of his trance.

The defending became a mess so that even Kunigami and Raichi had to intercept. With so many players at the back the attack was weaker and that is why the score did not even change till late in the second half.

Chigiri saw how the team was trying its hardest to still get ahead or at least get a draw. Even Haruo who started feeling pain all over his body could hardly change anything.

Seeing that and the fact that once Chigiri was pushed away by Isagi after he did not do anything with the ball for the Xth time showed how determined Isagi had become.

But when Isagi pushed another attack and was at the midfield Haruo could see something sprint by at the side.

At that moment Haruo saw something amazing that got him smiling and switching into a sprint as well.

His own run got the attention of two defenders to his position. What they obviously did not see was that Isagi had also noticed Chigiri sprinting and already made a long pass to Chigiri on the left that ran even past the defenders who were trying to get the ball.

Instead of crossing Chigiri kicked the ball lightly forward to accelerate again and kicked the ball before the goalkeeper could get it.

That made his first goal and the draw for Team Z.

The opponent was furious about that score.

"Nice legs there, Chigiri!" Haruo shouted and came over to him to congratulate him to his hard earned goal.

Even Isagi came over. "You were incredible!! You are so fast!! That leg of yours did well."

"You both...its your damn fault. When I see you all playing with your all...I was seething. By the time I noticed, I was already running." Chigiri was smiling wryly. "I don't know for how long my leg will last. But I want to believe in this new me."

"Then you finally found your confidence again. That is a good thing. Now, let us injury prone guys show these monkeys that this is not over yet until we lay on the field..." Haruo grinned after hearing Chigiri. he was right. Even if he would keep himself safe and try the utmost to keep himself out of the injury zone, he can't just keep this up. Not when they are so close to losing.

Haruo suddenly got a desire to win this last game and make those clowns a grave.

When the kickoff was made Haruo immediately sprinted off with all his speed that was also nothing to scoff at and tackled the big brother that had the ball.

His dual won them the ball and Haruo made a through ball to Chigiri who had once again made a sprint forward to receive the ball.

Haruo of course followed suit forward and when jumped high when Chigiri crossed this time.

With his head Haruo managed to put the ball in clean and reverse the situation to a 5 - 4. But that was not enough. It was maybe a fluke but the same situation arose again that Team Z received a freekick in the extended time.

Preparing himself for the kick Haruo breathed as if he had ran a marathon. The games were getting more painful for him with each day passing. No matter how much he tried to relieve himself of it.

With that being said the match ends with a 6 - 4 for Team Z. With Haruo managing to score that freekick and making his next hat trick.

Bachira, Kuon and Chigiri were the other players that had scored this day.

It was effectively the day they made it through the first selection.

There only remained that last one game for the first place. And Haruo definitely wanted it. Making a great smile he would be sure to be back to full fitness by then.

[Congratulations. After devouring the talent of Team W *Football Genius* developed to S+]

[Talent *White Muscles of Transcendence: W+3* has been fully integrated. 3 muscle types were calibrated and integrated into *Muscles of Transcendence: W*. Injury level back to normal. Stamina increased. Resilience increased.]

That one series of messages was like a seductive whisper in his ear. He could finally power through.

Especially after skipping the S class entirely made him sure that he was now on a whole different level. With the talents he had right now it should be possible to keep this performance up.

It really was now the complete opposite of his old self. A body that could do everything.
