Godspeed

(Barou's Pov)

What the hell? The ball I was holding onto was suddenly kicked and was making its way to the goal.

It was announced as the ball crossed the goal line. I should have been happy that we had scored, but that wasn't my goal.

I wanted to score against the World Five by myself, but my goal had just been stolen. So I turned around to look at the person who had just stolen my goal.

"What the heck do you think you're doing!?" I said, clenching my teeth as I gripped Murano's jersey by the collar.

He also dragged me by the collar and said apathetically, "I'm doing what you were supposed to have done earlier.

He was starting to get on my nerves. I couldn't let him always have one under me, I thought as I struggled to break free from his grip.

"Don't give that crap!" I yelled while clenching my fist. At that moment, his face looked punchable. I clenched my fist tighter, ready to punch him.

Luna grabbed my fist and said, "You guys are teammates, don't fight." I was aware that if I didn't let go of my anger, I would be sent off the pitch. I slowly unclenched my fist and left my grip on his collar.

"I'll let you have this, Murano," I said as I buried my hands in my pockets and turned around, heading to my position.

"Yeah! That's what I thought!" He shouted at me, his voice filled with a mix of mockery and triumph.

Did I just hear what I thought he just said?

"You son of a bitch, don't try me." I charged at him.

I was suddenly knocked to the ground by Adam Blake's spear move.

"Behave like grownups. I didn't come here to babysit you," Blake said. "But if you can't handle yourselves, then you'll be sent out of this game."

Tch!

"I'm not gonna lie, you guys have pulled one over us. You guys have become the first team to have scored two goals against us. You should be proud of yourselves," Adam Blake said, pointing his finger at us.

Loki grinned and said, "Looks like I'm going to have to step in then."

"Nah, that won't be necessary. Let's say that the kids got lucky and leave it at that." Silva replied.

"Lucky? That's not what I saw, though. I'm going to step in if you concede a goal again," Loki responded.

"Come on, you know we weren't trying much, but it seems like we have to step up a little bit if we want to end this quickly," Luna said.

"No doubt about that," Pablo Cevasoz added.

Kickoff!!

Barou's Point of View

The match began as Luna received a pass from Cevasoz and calmly took control of the ball as he drove forward.

"Leave this to me," he said as he was charging forward. Before I could react, he had already passed me and was about to send a long pass deep into our half of the field.

Cevasoz was the one who received the ball; as he dashed down the wing, he took possession of the ball with his right foot.

There was no doubt that he was fast on the ball. Murano, however, wasted no time in closing him down and pressing him to the sidelines.

"My job is done here," Cevasoz said as he was approaching the final third and tightly guarded by Murano.

He stepped over the ball and swiftly changed direction, pulling the ball back just as he was about to enter the final third.

But this isn't what it takes to beat Murano, as he clearly wasn't fazed by Cevasoz's sudden change in direction.

"Take this," Cevasoz finally let go of the ball and hit a back pass to Blake, who was following close behind.

Blake had the ball now and was about to shoot. Suddenly, Hiori was up against him. His reaction was quick as he flicked the ball to his right foot to try to evade Hiori's tackle.

However, he failed to notice Murano on the other side, who quickly seized the opportunity to steal the ball from his feet.

Dada Silva was moving quickly toward the scene. Murano, however, sent a quick pass forward to Shidou because he did not want to continue to hold onto the ball in that tough spot.

With his first touch, Shidou easily gained possession of the ball and used his body to block Cevasoz from behind. Cevasoz was doing an excellent job as he tightly encircled Shidou. Shidou then took a quick look around him before sending a cross my way.

This was it—a chance to score was now or never. I'm going to steal the show you made yourself, Murano, so I hope you're watching this.

I felt a shoulder hit my right side just as I was about to shoot, which made me fall to my left side. I shot the ball toward the goal despite the fact that I was now out of balance because I didn't want to waste the opportunity.

The ball abruptly left my foot and sped across the grass in the direction of the far post. However, the ball struck a post and slightly redirected itself in Loki's direction.

"Well, It's time I step in," he said as he stepped on the ball and then sent it rocketing into the air.

**Swish**

**Swish**

He started dashing forward, and before I noticed it, he had caught up to the ball and was approaching the middle third. I saw as Loki cut through our defense left and right with extreme speed before slotting the ball into the net.
