The Tragedy

Jun Misugi sprinted across the field, his eyes locked on the ball hurtling towards him like a meteorite on a collision course with Earth. Schneider's fire shot had already claimed one life; Misugi couldn't let it claim another. As he leaped into the air, muscles straining against gravity and exhaustion, he thought about all the times he'd played football - the victories, the losses, the friendships forged on the pitch. If this was to be his final act as a player, then so be it.

Schneider watched from midfield, his eyes burning with intensity. He knew what kind of shot he had unleashed upon Misugi; there was no way anyone could block that powerhouse without serious consequences. But still, seeing the young Japanese defender throw himself in front of his team's goal filled him with a strange mix of admiration and guilt - admiration for Misugi's bravery and selflessness, guilt because he knew exactly what kind of damage his shot could cause to an unprotected body.

As Jun Misugi collided with the ball, it felt like being hit by a speeding train. The impact sent him careening backwards, his chest screaming in agony as something vital inside seemed to snap under the pressure. He landed hard on the turf, gasping for breath that wouldn't come. Through a haze of pain and confusion, he saw Tsubasa Ozora rushing towards him, eyes wide with shock and concern.

"Misugi-san! Are you okay?" Tsubasa cried out as Misaki, Hyuga, Matsuyama and the rest of Japan's players gathered around their fallen comrade. Their faces were a mix of fear, disbelief, and determination - they would not let this tragedy go unanswered.

But it was too late for Misugi. As he lay there on the pitch, his heart struggling to keep beating amidst the chaos in his chest, he could feel himself slipping away. In his mind's eye, he saw his childhood dreams of becoming a great football player shattered like glass beneath Schneider's unrelenting assault. Yet even as darkness closed in around him, Misugi found solace in knowing that he had given everything to protect Japan's goal - and perhaps prevented further tragedy from befalling his teammates.

The ambulance screamed onto the field like a siren calling all hands on deck for an emergency rescue mission. Medics sprinted towards Misugi, their faces grim as they assessed the situation with clinical detachment. One of them placed two fingers against the young man's neck, searching desperately for any sign of life.

"No pulse," he said quietly to his colleagues, who immediately began performing CPR on Jun Misagi while others worked frantically to stabilize him before transporting him off the pitch and into the waiting ambulance. As the vehicle pulled away from the stadium, leaving behind a somber silence punctuated only by the sound of sobbing players and worried fans, everyone knew that football would never be quite the same again for those who had witnessed this tragedy firsthand.

As the ambulance carrying Jun Misugi disappeared into the distance, a heavy silence settled over the stadium. The players and spectators alike were still reeling from the shock of what had just transpired - it felt as though football itself had been tainted by this dark moment in its history. But there was no time to dwell on grief or guilt; after all, they were here for a reason: to play football and represent their countries with pride.

Hyuga glanced at Schneider from across the field, his eyes burning with rage. He had lost one of his closest friends - someone who shared his passion for the beautiful game but also understood its darker side all too well. And now he blamed Schneider for Misugi's tragic fate, believing that if it weren't for the German striker's relentless pursuit of victory at any cost, Jun might still be alive.

"You bastard!" Hyuga shouted as he charged towards Schneider, his fists clenched tightly by his sides. "How could you do something like this? You knew what kind of shot that was - there's no way Misugi would have survived it!" His words echoed across the pitch, carrying with them a mixture of sorrow and anger that resonated deeply within both teams.

But as Hyuga reached out to grab Schneider by the collar, he hesitated for just a moment. He saw something in those piercing blue eyes - anguish, confusion, regret - that made him pause. It wasn't hard to imagine how it must feel to be responsible for someone else's death, even if you were only trying to do your job as a football player.

"I don't know what you want me to say," Schneider replied quietly, looking down at his boots as he spoke. "All I can tell you is that I was just doing what I had to do - playing my role as an ace striker for Germany." He lifted his gaze towards Hyuga once more, searching for understanding amidst the chaos and emotion swirling around them.

Hyuga released Schneider's collar slowly, stepping back from him with a sense of resignation etched on his face. In that moment, he realized that there was no point in seeking vengeance or assigning blame; instead, they needed to focus on honoring Jun Misugi's memory by playing their best football and giving everything they had for their teams.

With tension palpable on both sides of the pitch, the referee blew his whistle to signal the resumption of play. The players from Japan and Germany exchanged glances - some filled with determination, others still reeling from shock or guilt. But as they took their positions once more, it was clear that everyone understood what needed to be done: finish this match in a way that would make Misugi proud.

Tsubasa Ozora stepped up to take the kick-off, his eyes fixed on the ball as he prepared to launch an attack against Germany's formidable defense. As he sprinted downfield alongside Hyuga and Matsuyama, they worked together like a well-oiled machine, their movements synchronized by years of training and camaraderie.

And soon enough, it paid off: Tsubasa unleashed a powerful shot that caught the German goalkeeper off guard, sending the ball flying into the back of the net. A roar erupted from the Japanese fans in attendance as their team celebrated their first goal since Misugi's injury - and perhaps more importantly, since his passing.

But Schneider wasn't finished yet. Despite everything that had happened on this fateful day, he still played with relentless determination, determined to secure victory for Germany by any means necessary. His second hat-trick of the match came just minutes after Tsubasa's goal, leaving Japan struggling to keep pace as they fell further behind in points.

By the end of the match, it was clear that Schneider had once again proven himself a formidable opponent - albeit one who carried with him an unmistakable sense of regret and sadness at what he had done. Germany emerged victorious with a final score of 7-3, but as they celebrated their win on the pitch, there was no denying that this wasn't just another victory for them; it was also a painful reminder of how much more than football is at stake whenever two nations come together to compete.

In the wake of their devastating loss against Germany, Japan's football team gathered in a somber huddle on the pitch. Coach Kozo Kira stood before them with tears welling up in his eyes - an uncharacteristic display of emotion from the usually stoic leader. He knew what he had to say would be difficult for all involved, but it was a decision that needed to be made.

"I want you all to know how proud I am of each and every one of you," Kira began softly. "You played your hearts out today - not just on the field, but also in honoring Misugi's memory by giving everything you had." His voice cracked slightly as he continued: "But after much discussion with my staff and considering everyone's well-being, we have decided that it would be best for us to withdraw from this competition."

A murmur ran through the assembled players; some nodded solemnly in agreement, while others looked away or dropped their heads into their hands. They knew that this was more than just a sporting event - it had become a painful reminder of all they had lost and how fragile life truly is.

As Japan's withdrawal from the competition made headlines around the world, tributes poured in for Jun Misugi: a talented young player whose passion for football knew no bounds but who ultimately paid the ultimate price for his commitment to the game he loved so dearly. His funeral was attended by friends and family members alike - including his old teammates from Musashi High School, as well as those with whom he had shared countless battles on the pitch during international tournaments.

Yayoi sat quietly at the front of the chapel, her eyes red-rimmed from crying but still filled with a deep sense of love and admiration for the man she would never see again in this life. As tears streamed down her face, she couldn't help but feel grateful that she had been able to share some small part of Misugi's journey before it was cut tragically short by fate's cruel hand.

Amidst the sea of mourners gathered around his coffin, Jun Misugi himself watched silently from beyond the veil separating life and death. He felt a profound sense of sadness at leaving behind those he cared about so deeply - but also relief that they were spared further pain by virtue of their withdrawal from the competition. As he looked upon their grieving faces, he whispered softly to himself: "I'm sorry... I wish things could have been different."

And then, as if sensing his presence nearby, Misugi felt a gentle warmth envelop him - a feeling that seemed to pull him towards the light. He closed his eyes one last time and stepped forward into whatever awaited him on the other side of this mortal coil...

This is a trial story.

It's just wasting the space on my mind, so I decide to put it out.

It's honestly raw, and I don't even have the plot of how the story will go from here, but here it is if anyone like to read more support me.
