(Part 4)

"Hehe… had fun?" asked Senri embracing Alan's shoulders. "Of course! But in the end it still hurts~" Alan cried.

Kazuna twitching his brow finally scolded, "Of course it will! Did you thought of it as a play?!" Alan surprised smiled, "Finally, and here I was wondering why you didn't spoke up at all Kazu, kazu. Looks like you were mad as well."

"Idiot." Kazuna ended the conversation with a single word.

"Haha." Alan giggled.

"Done." Orion finished bandaging while Elias closed the first aid box.

"Thank you, Medical team!" thanked Alan getting up, "But, my eyesight is nowhere good."

"Don't worry it will come back after a while. You just lost it temporarily" Elias assured.

"Well then, it's great! Time to head out for round 9!" he cheered heading out.

However, before he could Rauf called, "Alan. Come up!" Alan turned around amused, "Eh~ finally remembered me brother?" "Really~ how cruel, I can't see anything. Shouldn't you be coming down instead of calling me up?" he asked disappointed.

Azazel heading towards the middle schoolers stood silent. Heber and Kenzo eyed him seriously. The others gulped.

"Had fun?" Kenzo asked. Azazel hearing his voice stood with his eyes widened soon nodding back. "Sit down then." Kenzo added uninterested. Azazel hearing his response went inside the pavilion dismayed. Faris, Izack and Silas upon his sight went downstairs.

"Here you go." Poseidon smiled handing Azazel a sports drink. "Good job." Spoke Seraph patting his head. Faris hugged him from behind.

Heber taking a deep breath called, "Azazel… answer me one thing. Back then, on your last delivery you were about to injure Alan again. Furthermore, do to him losing his eyesight you could've actually injured him pretty badly than before, while at the same time forcing him to quit this overall challenge. So why didn't you do it? Why did your double cross trap turn into three seam mirage in the brink of moment?"

Azazel hearing his words looked at the ground, "Brother Heber… I don't know. It was as if I realized just how much fun I was having. That I nearly forgot I had to injure him as well… I don't know it just. It just… all happened on its own."

Kenzo grinned. "Isn't it great then? You finally enjoyed playing with someone after a long time. Be proud of yourself." encouraged Izack while Helios smiled. "But, it still doesn't change the fact that I injured him…" Azazel reflected.

"I don't think that matters at all." Ryan pointed at Alan who climbed up to Rauf, "Someone who's wounded that badly won't be jumping up and down like that." "Haha… seems like it." Xavier endorsed. "That rascal ain't going down that easily." Gabriel uttered irritated while Cassiel sighed.

Kenzo eyeing Alan ordered up, "Feng, you're up. Go!"

"Me?!" asked Feng surprised.

"Or who else? Do you know anyone with the same name as yours?" Gabriel uttered annoyed.

"But! He is injured and can't even see on top of all. Do you really want me to face him?" Feng asked anxiously.

"I don't think that's much of a problem…" whispered Adam glancing at Cassiel. "Isn't he a world ranker?" he added.

"Or don't tell me you're scared, brother Feng?" Ryan teased.

Feng hearing his words turned around annoyed, "Shut it! Why would I be afraid? That Alan brat, just see how I tackle him!" Grabbing his gear he headed out.

Xavier chuckled, "Such a boy, but with his worrisome character. He is sure going to take this lightly." "You mean… he won't be playing to his fullest?" asked Ezekiel tiredly, sitting beside Azazel.

Xavier nodded, "His nature is just like this. If the opponent is strong, he will face him strongly. If the opponent is harsh he will mark his defense twice and if the opponent is weak or wounded he will surely let his guard down just to play at his level. Playing his game fairly… is his principle."

"But, being like this before Alan might turn out as a disadvantage." Helios replied. Xavier sighed, "I think so as well, but he will take it smoothly. I can assure that." "Your level of trust is above clouds hun Xavi, Xavi?" asked Adam intrigued as Xavier agreed, "Seems like it."

Azazel silent stared at his sports drink. Suddenly Kenzo called, "Azazel." Azazel instantly getting up rushed towards him, "Ye-s? Your highness?"

"Good job… since the last time your balling has evolved and matured its form however, you won't be able to cross Seraph's level this way. Always be levelheaded. This is my only advice." he whispered. Azazel hearing his words stood with tears in his eyes.

"Y-yes!" Kenzo responded. Heber patted Azazel's head. "Alright, alright. It's your style. I don't hate it. But, I was really worried that you might do something to even harm yourself amid all that uproar. In the end, thank goodness nothing happened. So cheer up. Feng over there. Might really need our support." he encouraged.

"Y-es! I promise- I won't disappoint you from now onwards!" Azazel swore.

"Well, all's well that end well." Cassiel said relieved as Poseidon nodded. "I am sure, he is going to be a great captain after two years." Seraph commented.

"What's wrong brother?" Alan asked staring at Rauf with his dull red blue gaze. Rauf staring at him sighed.

"Smack him in the head his sight might return. This rascal!" uttered Nidou annoyed gobbling up his sports drink.

Alan twitched his brow irritated, "You damn old hag, don't say anything at all if you can't say something assuring!" "Like you need any assurance from me!" Nidou rolled his eyes. Evan and Haruf looking at each other sighed. Alan stood with veins popping on his head.

"Look at me, Alan." Rauf called.

Alan turned over to Rauf, who looked dull black. Rauf instantly grabbed Alan's neck pulling him forward, pushing a point right in the center on his neck. "Ghk!" Alan winced.

The highschoolers looked at each other anxiously. Taking his hand back he instantly pressed Alan's Nose Bridge tightly, soon letting it go.

"Bro-ther? What are you…?" Alan asked perplexed as Rauf interrupted, "Can you see now?" Up to Alan's surprise he could clearly trace Rauf's figure which was slightly blurry however distinguishable.

Alan smiled, "Yeah… not too clearly but I can. Thank you." Rauf handed him a lozenge turning around, "Eat it and go. Your vision will instantly return..." Alan eyeing the sweet lozenge bar smiled.

"Hm… to think you'd still be this caring, surprises me, brother prince." Alan commented heading down. Rauf curved his lips into a fleeting smile. "Wish me luck boys!" Alan waved treading over to the pitch.

"Be careful! And don't push yourself too hard." directed Elias while Isa waved. "Okay, okay!" Alan replied. "Geez… such a bunch of worrywarts." he thought suddenly remembering he turned around "Aaron." he called.

"Hm?" Aaron asked back. "That song from before, can I write its lyrics?" Alan asked. Aaron smiled, "Yeah you can. As, I have another one to work on."

"Are you serious?! Don't tell me you are a song making machine or something?" Ren and Senri uttered shocked. Alan hearing Aaron gleamed, "Alright then… make sure to send me its composition and rhythm on my audio receiver."

Aaron nodding took out his phone chanting amused, "Aye, Aye you little highness." Stepping closer to the pitch Alan traced Feng who waited. "Oh… is it him?" Alan wondered making out with his blurry vision.

"Ah! You're here!" Feng waved walking over. "Yeah I am. I am sorry for the wait, Feng." Alan replied. Feng stared at him doubtfully, "I… get the fact that you know my name very clearly. Which is no surprise at all but… can you… see me?"

"Of course, I can. You don't need to worry." Alan assured. Feng stern for a while gave his hand. "Alright, then. Let's have a good game." Alan about to shake it blinked puzzled, just to find his hand over his head.

The middle schoolers including Seles sighed speechless. "What is he doing?" Adam asked in disbelief. "Pft! Haha! Was this the only way he thought to check whether he's lying or not?" Mikael laughed.

"Seriously, he was doing that?!" Ezekiel uttered. "Of course." replied Xavier while Ryan looked away. "Pft! Haha!" Alan instantly laughed. "Oh my, boy… you look like a monkey with that serious expression. And, what's with the hand? Haha…" he asked tiptoeing, he grasped Feng's hand and shook it.

"Monkey?!" asked Feng shocked.

"Haha! He literally looked like a monkey!!" joked Adam as Seraph smiled. "He wasn't looking like one, he is one." Gabriel commented while Haris, Azazel and Heber stood concealing their laughter.
