They played flawlessly, with Kurona, Murano, and Barou forming a triangle on the pitch. This was how the exchange rate was.

Kurona to Murano: 6

Murano to Kurona: 5

Kurona to Barou: 3

Barou to Kurona: 0

Barou to Murano: 0

Murano to Barou: 1

Despite not exchanging passes with Kurona or Murona, Barou was used to drawing players towards him and stealing the ball alone. As the game progressed, Barou continued to showcase his defensive prowess, intercepting passes and disrupting the opponent's attacks. His ability to draw players towards him created space for his teammates, allowing them to exploit the gaps in the defense. Despite not directly exchanging passes with Kurona or Murano, Barou played a crucial role in the trio.

During this moment of the game, Murano scored two goals. One came from a long distance; the other was a tap-in created in the penalty area by Kurona's quick crosses. Murano's clinical finishing and Kurona's deft passes made for a lethal combination for the opposing team. Together, they created an unstoppable force that made it difficult for the opposition to keep up.

But Barou, Kurona, and Murano were more than just skilled attackers; Their defensive contributions were equally impressive. Kurona's positioning, quickness, and tactical awareness assisted in blocking passing lanes, while Barou's speed and agility allowed him to intercept passes and make crucial tackles. On the other hand, Murano demonstrated his capacity to track back and offer protective cover when necessary. They were a challenge for any opponent they faced because of their versatility.

But this play would be broken by Shidou as he unleashed the ball from the midfield into the net.

"You ants shouldn't be happy yet,"

"We're just starting," Shidou said as the ball went in

As soon as play resumed, Kurona dribbled ahead and avoided passing to hold onto the ball until they reached the attacking third.

"You get your speed from your long legs and use that to make short turns in to get around quickly, huh, I'd be taking that," Shidou said as he stole the ball from Kurona.

Barou quickly approached him, but without waiting any longer, he replicated his first goal by hitting a drive shot into the top corner of the net.

'Tch! I should have stayed back instead of making a run forward,' Murano thought, as he couldn't have done anything in that play.

The score was now even; Team White 3 - 3 Team Red.

"We just need to score 2 more goals before they do," Murano said to Kurona as he placed the ball in the midfield circle.

"You're not the only one," Murano said as he placed a shot into the net from the midfield.

"Your explosive long-range skill has gone up from C to B-" Lisa remarked.

Team White 4 - 3 Team Red

"Well, won't you look at that? You're imitating me now?" Shidou said, spotting a smirk.

"Then I'm going to do it again!" Shidou said as he placed the ball on the ground.

Murano raised his hand towards the goalpost, directing Kurona to move there.

"I lied! go for it, purple hair," He said as he passed the ball to Reo. Who then made a run forward with the ball. Reo sprinted down the field; with each step, he gained momentum, and his gaze fixed on the goalpost in front of him. He launched a strong blow, but Murano blocked it with a bad slide tackle.

Anri blew the whistle and directed a foul against Team White. Reo's heart sank as he realized his missed opportunity. He knew he had to make up for it. He stepped up to take the freekick in the opening of the final third. He took a deep breath, focused on the goalpost, and fired a powerful shot that flew past the goalkeeper's extended hands but struck the post.

Murano recovered the ball as it rebounded off the post. Murano then made a long cross to Barou, who was in the midfield. As he approached 25 yards toward the goalpost, Barou saw an opening and took a powerful shot, aiming for the top corner of the net. The ball sailed through the air, narrowly missing the goalkeeper's fingertips, and found its way into the back of the net, giving his team the winning goal.

Team White 5 - 3 Team Red
