…

He had spent days studying.

The physical capabilities, soccer techniques, and talents of each player in the team.

He had every detail etched in his mind.

Who was the strongest, the fastest, the most precise, and the most unpredictable.

And yet, despite the raw talent Team Z possessed.

Something was off.

Isagi knew the answer to the question.

That had been nagging him for days.

There was a gap in the team.

A rift that couldn't be ignored.

It wasn't about their individual abilities.

But about how they interacted with each other.

How they viewed each other.

Even though their on the same team.

No one really trusts anyone else.

Except maybe Bachira...

Bachira has been a wildcard, unpredictable.

There was Kira, too.

Was someone Isagi had come to respect.

And already had a connection with prior.

But the rest of the team?

Every time the group came together.

It was a tense exchange.

A battle of egos and personal pride.

"But we can't survive like this."

Isagi's fists clenched.

"Sooner or later, we'll have to face other teams, and they won't hesitate to tear us apart if we can't function as a unit."

"We have to figure this out. I need to bring us together… but how?"

His thoughts spiraled, racing faster and faster, when suddenly—

WHAM!

A soccer ball collided with the back of his head.

"GEH?!"

Isagi stumbled forward.

His heart racing in surprise.

He whipped around, startled.

To find a familiar figure grinning at him from the doorway.

"I~sa~gi~♪"

The voice was unmistakable.

Laced with that carefree, infectious energy.

"You alone?"

Isagi blinked, then smiled.

"Oh... Bachira!"

Bachira bounced the ball in his hands.

His grin widening.

"How 'bout we play together?"

"One on one, of course!"

Isagi stared at him for a moment.

The last thing he expected was Bachira showing up.

But… maybe this was exactly what he needed.

A distraction? A way to clear his head?

He gave a small chuckle, shaking his head.

"One on one, huh? Sure, why not?"

Bachira's grin only grew wider.

And he tossed the ball up.

As they were taking their positions.

Bachira suddenly paused.

"Hey, Isagi-kun~..."

He called out.

"Can I ask you something first?~"

Isagi turned toward him.

"Hmm? What?"

Bachira's grin widened.

And he tilted his head, still bouncing the ball lightly.

"When we were playing tag, and you passed to Kira..."

"You did it... because you wanted to save him from himself, right?"

Isagi blinked, processing the question.

It took a moment for him to answer.

But when he did, it was with a firm nod.

"Yes, that's correct."

But then, it hit him.

He stared at Bachira.

"Wait, how did you know that?"

Bachira's smile remained.

"Because, inside me..."

Bachira paused.

"There's a 'monster' lurking…"

Isagi furrowed his brow, confused.

"Huh?"

Before Isagi could process.

Bachira suddenly lunged forward.

Dribbling the ball with a speed and unpredictability.

That left Isagi no time to react.

"But only when I'm playing football,"

Bachira continued.

"The monster was the one saying all that."

Isagi's eyes widened as Bachira's feet danced around him.

The ball weaving in and out of his reach.

"Steal the goal... dance more..."

Bachira murmured in an almost sing-song voice.

Isagi instinctively reached for the ball.

But got distracted for just a split second.

"Tch—!"

He clicked his tongue in frustration.

As Bachira slipped past him with ease.

As if reading his every move.

But Bachira didn't stop there.

As he passed Isagi, his face came dangerously close.

And with a swift move.

He pushed the ball through Isagi's legs.

"But that time you see... the 'monster' inside me said..."

Bachira's voice was barely above a whisper.

His eyes locked with Isagi's in a brief, intense moment.

"Play along with him... because in him... there's a monster too..."

Before Isagi could react.

Bachira had already moved to the other side of him.

Standing just a short distance away with the ball at his feet.

Isagi stood there for a moment.

Trying to process what had just happened.

Bachira's words lingered in the air.

As he stared at the ball, his thoughts racing.

A 'monster'... inside of me?
