"G! O! A! L!!!!"
"This is the nineteenth point scored by Imperial Academy..."
"Is there really no way to deal with Imperial Academy?"
19-0
This is a number that brings despair at first glance.
As the score gap widened, Gouma Keita's commentary gradually lost its vigor.
Students watching the match on-site couldn't bear to see their school's team being overwhelmed by the opposing team and began to leave the venue.
Meanwhile, Natsumi Raimon, watching the game through a special telescope from above, remarked, "There's no need to watch any longer."
After saying that, she turned to leave, but at that moment, Gouma Keita's exclamation echoed from the field.
"What!!! Someone has entered the soccer field!!!"
Natsumi hurried back to the window to see what was happening.
She saw someone in a Raimon uniform standing in front of Endou Mamoru.
It seemed like they were saying something, and after a while, the person in the Raimon uniform stood up and laughed heartily.
He casually took off his uniform and changed into the clothes handed to him from the sidelines...
The scene shifts back to a day earlier.
Since the Raimon Football Team still only had ten members and hadn't reached the minimum number required to play, Captain Endou Mamoru was still searching for team members.
After running around all the sports clubs again, no one was willing to join.
He returned to the club office with a frown and leaned on the table, complaining to Miki Akira, "Akira... we're still one person short, but I asked everyone in the sports clubs, and they all refused..."
"Endou, since the sports club members won't do it, why don't you ask 'him'?"
"I've already asked him, but he said no..."
Then as if he thought of something, he jumped up excitedly. "That's right! How could I have forgotten him?!"
"Thank you, Akira! I'm going to find Yae right now."
With that, he dashed out.
...
"What? A soccer match?"
"Sorry, Endou, I can't make it tomorrow."
"Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh?!"
"Sorry sorry, I have to help out with Swimming Club in the morning."
Endou said disappointedly, "I thought it would work out..."
"Sorry!"
The person Endou Mamoru was looking for was right in front of him. Yae Shiki, a second-year student, was a well-known figure at Raimon Junior High School. Due to his enthusiastic personality and love for making friends, most people at Raimon Junior High could exchange a few words with him. However, that alone was not the reason Endou sought him out.
The main reason was that Yae Shiki was a sports prodigy. Since his first year, he had been invited to assist various sports clubs due to his exceptional athletic abilities, except for the Sumo Club and the Soccer Club. Therefore, Shiki was either on his way to a competition or already competing.
Shiki sighed and poked Endou's forehead with some force. "You tell me about tomorrow's match today? What were you thinking?"
Endou awkwardly chuckled, "Hehe, wasn't it too last minute...?"
Endou helplessly poked his own finger against Shiki's. "I didn't know either... I was suddenly scheduled for a match..."
Shiki waved a notebook in front of Endou, which contained all of Shiki's scheduled activities. "Next time you need my help, at least give me a week's notice."
"I've already promised the Swimming Club people; I can't change my plans."
"Tomorrow's the match, but you tell me today. You know I'm busy."
Seeing that Shiki still hadn't agreed, Endou could only leave dejectedly. "Fine..."
But after taking a couple of steps, Endou turned back with a smile at Shiki. "It's a pity you can't help the soccer team, but good luck with your Swimming Club competition tomorrow!"
With that, Endou left, and Shiki let out a sigh of relief. Because Shiki had lied. That notebook did indeed contain invitations from sports clubs, but the schedule for tomorrow was blank. It was simply because Shiki didn't want to get involved with soccer again.
On the day of the match, Shiki hid behind a tree and quietly watched Endou and the others compete. He held his head in frustration, shouting internally: 'Damn it! Didn't I say I wouldn't get involved with soccer again? But somehow here I am.'
As Shiki silently raged, thick smoke began to rise from the far sideline. A strange vehicle approached as the sky darkened slightly in response. Whether it was just his imagination or not, Shiki felt as if the entire Raimon Junior High School was trembling.
"Hiss..."
The bus doors opened, and an old red carpet rolled out. Following that, students dressed in imperial uniforms rushed down from the vehicle and lined up on either side of the carpet in an exaggerated manner to welcome the members of the soccer team who were disembarking.
"Captain Kidou, why are we competing against such a ridiculous team?"
"They can't enhance our strength either."
Knowing the situation, Kidou chuckled coldly, "Because something interesting might happen."
At the top of the bus, a seat slowly rose, and the person sitting there gazed thoughtfully at the Raimon emblem.
Endou rushed in front of Kidou, introducing himself, but was interrupted halfway through.
Kidou didn’t look directly at Endou; instead, he scanned the surroundings and said to himself, "This is our first time at this venue. Can we warm up a bit?"
"Go ahead."
On the field, the players from Imperial Academy began their warm-up.
Fluid dribbling, sharp passing...
Every move made by the Imperial Academy players left the Raimon team in awe.
The crowd exclaimed, "Are we really going to compete against a team like this?!"
At that moment, Imperial's captain Kidou noticed the emblem on Endou's arm and deliberately kicked a ball over.
As the soccer ball flew towards him, Endou instinctively reacted and caught it firmly with both hands.
Though it seemed like an ordinary kick that Endou caught, two deep marks were left on the ground.
The Raimon team looked nervously at Endou, their faces filled with concern.
"Captain!!"
"Endou!!"
Looking at his still-warm palms and the smoking soccer ball on the ground, Endou felt a mix of shock and excitement because he could play against such a strong team.
"Alright everyone, let's go!"
"Oh!"
The match began with the Raimon Football Team on offense.
Mokkin passed the ball to Someoka, who then sent it back to Matsuno. After running a short distance, Matsuno returned the ball to Someoka.
At that moment, two players from Imperial slid in to tackle Someoka, but he skillfully lifted the ball to evade them and passed it to Kazemaru nearby.
Receiving the ball, Kazemaru used his speed to reach the goal in just a few seconds.
Kazemaru kicked the ball towards Someoka; Someoka jumped for a shot but was easily intercepted by the Imperial goalkeeper.
The crowd on the sidelines sighed, "What a pity!"
The Imperial goalkeeper threw the ball to Kidou and said, "Kidou, my job is done."
Kidou stopped the ball with one foot and grinned wickedly, "Let’s begin, Imperial football."
With that, he kicked the ball towards an Imperial player.
The player understood immediately and shot the ball towards Raimon's goal.
The ball soared across half the field without losing any power.
Endou firmly grasped the ball with both hands as if he was about to catch it.
The ball... intensified its spin.
The powerful torque forced Endou to release the ball, which slammed into his abdomen, sending both him and the ball crashing into the goal.
"GOAL!!"
"Imperial Academy takes the lead with a point."
The Imperial team's offense showed no signs of slowing down, their sharp attacks pushing Raimon back relentlessly. By the end of the first half, the score had reached 10-0.
During halftime, the Raimon players collapsed one by one on the sidelines.
Seeing his teammates' spirits crushed, Endou continued to encourage them, "We won't know the outcome until the final whistle blows, right, everyone?"
Meanwhile, a man sitting atop the bus coldly remarked, "Why aren't they coming out yet... but they'll definitely show up in the second half."
As the whistle blew, the second half began with Imperial kicking off.
Right from the start, three players from Imperial leaped into the air, forming a triangle.
As they rotated counterclockwise, an ominous aura emanated from them, gradually enveloping the soccer ball.
"Death Zone!"
A soccer ball infused with this sinister energy surged toward Raimon's goal. Endou barely had time to react before it found its mark.
11-0.
"Keep going until he shows up."
Imperial continued their fierce assault; sometimes their target was not the goal but rather Endou himself.
With each shot from Imperial finding its way in, one by one, Raimon's players fell. Eventually, only Endou remained standing on the field.
With no clear target left, Imperial's players resorted to kicking the ball directly at Endou.
As Endou finally collapsed, the score climbed to 19-0, leaving only one player standing for Raimon—Mokkin.
But he was paralyzed by fear and unable to move.
With a casual glance from Kidou, Mokkin could no longer withstand the oppressive atmosphere; he tore off his jersey and fled the field in tears.
The uniform Mokkin discarded landed right in front of Goenji, who stared at the number ten on its back, lost in deep thought.
Faced with an unwinnable match, spectators leaving in droves, and countless taunts from Imperial directed at Raimon, Endou struggled to rise again. "It's not over yet..."
Witnessing this scene, Yae Shiki was flooded with confusion.
'Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?'
'Why hasn't he given up?'
'Isn't he tired yet?'
'It's just soccer...'
'Is it really necessary to take this so seriously?'
Driven by curiosity, he couldn't help but ignore the ongoing match and approached Endou.
"Why don't you forfeit?"
Yae Shiki expected Endou to say something like, "Because we lost, the Raimon Football Club will be disbanded."
But Endou responded with difficulty, "Yae, didn't your Swimming Club finish their competition?"
Yae Shiki sighed, "Is this really the time to talk about that..."
Unexpectedly, Endou just smiled foolishly and said, "Hehe, I guess you're right."
"Because football is so much fun."
Yae Shiki looked at the injured Endou and asked, "Even now?"
"Yeah."
"Pfft, hahahaha."
Yae Shiki burst into laughter, wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Turning to Kidou, he said, "I should be able to join now, right? The Empire shouldn't be afraid of a nobody like me?"
The referee next to them wanted to say something, but Kidou stopped him.
"Interesting, of course you can."
The referee made a decision, "The Empire has no objections; substitutions are allowed."
At that moment, Shiki changed into the jersey number 99 handed over by Miki Akira.
"Substituting number 7 Shaolin Temple Step with number 99 Yae Shiki."
Kidou remarked, "Now you can kick off, right?"
Just as Raimon was about to kick off, Shiki gestured for everyone to wait and then turned to a nearby tree, shouting, "Goenji, aren't you coming out?"
"If I join you, one Defender and one Forward will be just right."
Endou exclaimed in surprise, "Goenji?!?!"
Goenji emerged from behind the tree wearing Mokkin's jersey.
The referee looked around; since the Empire had no objections, he silently agreed to the substitution.
"The original number 10 Mokkin is replaced by the new number 10 Goenji."
Raimon kicked off, but as soon as the ball crossed midfield, it was intercepted by Kidou.
However, Goenji continued charging forward towards the Empire's goal.
Kidou scoffed, "Is this giving up?"
"This isn't giving up; it's Goenji believing that I'll intercept your ball."
Kidou was taken aback and hurriedly tried to pass the ball to a teammate beside him.
But it was too late.
Suddenly, a large door appeared in front of Kidou, with soft white clouds beneath it and an angel blowing a trumpet beside it, as if he had arrived in heaven.
As the door opened, Kidou's body involuntarily ran inside.
The door closed, and when it opened again, Kidou, who should have been in front of the door, appeared behind it. Moreover, the soccer ball that should have been at Kidou's feet had vanished, now resting at Shiki's feet.
"Ball Steal Technique - 【Heaven's Gate】."
Having seized the ball, Shiki kicked it straight up into the air and then jumped. With a powerful push from both feet on the soccer ball, at the moment of contact, the ball transformed into an arrow shape.
"【Cloud Piercing Arrow】"
The soccer ball shot out like a fleeting beam of light.
Gouma Keita shouted excitedly, "Wow! So fast! This speed is even quicker than any shot from the Empire just now!"
"But..."
'Too high.' Everyone thought as they watched the ball soar.
The Empire players sneered, "You actually tried a Shot from the backfield? Do you think you're one of us? Where is that ball even going? It won't even touch the goalpost!"
Shiki waved his hand dismissively. "Isn't that obvious? After all, this isn't a Shot."
"What?!"
Seeing the shocked expressions on the Empire players' faces, Shiki chuckled, "I'm passing!"
At that moment, everyone finally realized and turned to look at Goenji, who was already sprinting toward the Empire goal.
Just then, Goenji leaped into the air, flames erupting beside him. As he spun his body, those flames danced as if alive, gradually forming a fiery tornado around his right foot.
"【Blazing Tornado】"
As Goenji called out the name of his technique, the light from Shiki's earlier kick was engulfed by the flames. The once bright light transformed into a vivid crimson hue.
The Empire goalkeeper couldn't react in time; this powerful Shot flew straight into the Empire's goal.
Gouma Keita jumped up joyfully, "G!! O!! A!! L!!!!!!!"
"19-1"
"Finally! Raimon Junior High School has scored!!"
Gouma Keita, clutching his homemade podium, excitedly exclaimed, "Everyone, don't underestimate this single point! Although it's just one point, it breaks records—ending the Empire's long-standing streak of not conceding a single goal!"
"Beep—beep—beep—"
The referee blew the whistle, signaling that the Empire had forfeited the match.
Gouma Keita gasped in disbelief, "What!!! The Imperial Academy actually forfeited? That means this match counts as a victory for Raimon Junior High School!"
The members of Raimon formed a circle around each other. Endou looked at Yae Shiki and Goenji. "Thank you both, Yae, Goenji. It's great that you came; this marks the birth of our new Raimon Football Club!"
"Let's play together from now on!"
But all that responded to Endou were two jerseys.
"Huh?"
Goenji replied, "This is just a one-time thing."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Everyone's gaze shifted to Yae Shiki.
Yae Shiki then said, "Football isn't a one-person sport, you know. Right now, the only person on the Raimon Football Team who satisfies me is you, Endou."
He held up three fingers. "At least three people. If three guys who satisfy me appear in the Raimon Football Team, then I will join you."
With that, he turned and walked away. "That's it, see ya!"
Watching the two leave, Endou continued to express his gratitude from behind them. "Thank you, Goenji, Yae."
Someoka scoffed, "What the heck! Those two are so full of themselves."
...
"Analysis complete. The Super Striker Goenji's Shot has not lost any power..."
"No... it should be said that it's even stronger now..."
"However..."
The man lightly pushed up his glasses and said, "I didn't expect to see that loser here as well. Is he the one responsible for this?"
"Heh... how interesting."
...
