21 20- A Stalker?

The game continued and the ball was in the possession of Iwatobi, Hanamiya with swollen cheeks dribbled the forward while glaring at Tanaka hatefully.

He was never humiliated like this before, never in his life! and he was dead set on getting revenge, he doesnt care who it was or what it was, if they mess with him, he will destroy them.

He charged towards Tanaka who was defending him with his elbows up and had a savage expression on his face.

Tanaka didnt seem to notice and let Hanamiya collide with him.

*Bam!

Hanamiya's elbow connected with Tanaka's chest and he glared at Tanaka with happy expression as he wanted to see Tanaka's pained expression but he only saw Tanaka smile back at him.

*Boom!

A stronger force came from Hanamiya's stomach and it was very painful, he noticed Tanaka kicked him before he fell to the ground and this kick was very close to his crotch.

*Thud!

They both fell to the ground with Hanamiya clutching his stomach tightly and rolling around from pain, and Tanaka who laid on the ground like nothing happened.

*Whistle!

The referee blew his whistle and then announced loudly, "Iwatobi, number 12 charging foul!"

Hanamiya's eyes widened as he heard the referee's benedict, He struggled to stand up and looked at Tanaka who was already standing up, he glanced at Hanamiya and didnt looked anymore.

"You damn *cough! *cough!" Hanamiya started coughing while still clutching his stomach, Tanaka's kick was too damn powerful for him.

Tanaka who was walking away smirked, "trying to play dirty against me? I knew much dirtier player from you" he murmured, he doesnt remember that guys name but he came from a movie called Hotshot, good old times, he watched that many times when he was quite young.

The cheater on that movie could be said very vicious, he had a freaking knife on his shoe! and whats more unbelievable is that guy freaking stabbed the mc and the game continued like nothing happened!

Well, it was really interesting giving a cheater like Hanamiya a taste of their own medicine, well, Tanaka was serious about his warning though.

Anyway, now that he riled up Hanamiya, his attention will only be directed to Tanaka, and this will allow his teammates to play smooth through the game.

In another words, Tanaka's purpose in this game was to be the decoy, and cripple the core of the Iwatobi team.

Also Yes, this became the brawl of Tanaka and Hanamiya, though Tanaka was very fine, Hanamiya was already full of bruised and injuries, Tanaka never held back on his counter attacks.

Every hit of his kick was like a whip and his elbows were like hammers pounding on Hanamiya's body, well, that sounded erotic in another way.

With Hanamiya being crumbled by Tanaka, his teammates also started performing under performance, and what scared the most is that 8 minutes into the game, Hanamiya started coughing blood.

The referee had to stop the game and bring Hanamiya to the infirmary, in which, after that the match continued with the Ousai dominating the game.

Tanaka also started scoring for the last two minutes continuously and earning himself 32 points, after that he subbed out of the game.

In the end the game ended with a 23 - 143, there is no suspense whose the winner of the game, in this game Hiruma did not play and the Iwatobi members did not play dirty of fear that Tanaka will also beat them up.

And so the match ended with the Ousai Academy going into the semi-finals and winning their group stage, only two steps away from the nationals.

With this win, the Ousai Academy cemented themselves as the dark horse of this years Spring Tournament.

Middle School students only have 2 tournaments for their 3 years in middle school, the spring tournament and the winter tournament, (A/N: I have no clue about these things so I just made it up, feel free to tell me if you know)

And Tanaka wanted to win all of them.

After the match, the Ousai team returned back to their homes and when Tanaka got home, he was greeted by a flying Aisaka.

*Bam!

Aisaka landed on his stomach but Tanaka was able to lessen the impact by catching Aisaka.

"You idiot" Aisaka said as she grinds her face on his stomach, "You promised!" she added.

"What do you mean?" Tanaka asked.

"You promised you will never get into a fight again!" Aisaka yelled.

"Did you possibly watch the match?" Tanaka asked.

"Of course, I always send a student to record your match" Aisaka said.

"So you are stalking me... again?" Tanaka said with a teasing voice.

"Shut up, if I dont watch you, you will do many things again" Aisaka replied with a slight punch.

"Haha, dont be jealous to other girls alright" Tanaka said as he hugged Aisaka tightly.

"Im not, you idiot" Aisaka said as she hugged him back.

Aisaka and Tanaka hugged for a few more minutes before separating from each other, Aisaka already made some food so they ate their fill, bond together for a little more time.

The next day, Tanaka and the team made their way back to the stadium and the semi-finals were starting, their opponent is a powerful one according to Hiruma as he was sent to investigate their next match up.

"Its an elite school with 3 talented players, first a guy named Sendoh, he is a scoring machine, then Eikichi, a gorilla like Akagi who dominates under the post, and the last is Takonobu Aone, a lock-down defender" Hiruma read out the names of his investigation.

"I have heard about Eikichi before, he is a muscle headed player but is extremely powerful under the post" Sora said.

"Then you guys are in it for a good match, we will play like usual but this time, take it seriously and keep scoring, just like usual I will enter the second quarter, as for Hiruma, you will enter the 1st quarter, you will go against the Sendoh guy" Tanaka explained their strategy.

"Roger!" x6
