Sixth Round (25)

"Shun, are you okay? Did you get hurt?" - Shun had only managed to take a few steps out of Kasuga's dugout before Coach Yamada reached him, worried. The man placed both hands on Shun's shoulders and asked in a panic.

"I'm fine, Coach!" - Shun noticed the panic in his coach's eyes, as well as the concerned looks from his teammates who had also arrived. He quickly reassured them with a smile, giving a thumbs-up to his coach.

"Well, I think it's best to have you subbed out just in case-" - Coach Yamada sighed with relief, though he still wasn't entirely confident that Shun was 100 percent okay. He began to suggest it might be better to pull Shun from the game as a precaution, but before he could finish his sentence, Shun interrupted him.

"I said I'm fine, Coach! I can finish the game!" - Shun spoke with a determined look, cutting his coach off. The last thing he wanted now was to be replaced. After all, thanks to the system, he knew he hadn't hurt anything.
