Isao walked on, subbing in for Handa Yori. They high five and Isao walked to the middle of the pitch. He stepped into the circle and the ref handed him the ball. He placed the ball on the dot. He had the ball at his feet, facing toward the Asahi Gakuen team. Dong-sun focused on the ball.

"He's going to pass backward, probably so he can get up the field quickly..." Dong-sun internalized. Yuki focused on the ball and then on Dong-sun and Hiroki (Yokota). He then looked back at Isao. Isao took a few steps back.

"Is he going to take it up himself??" Yuki internalized. Yuki raised a brow. His eyes then widened. Isao ran toward the ball, rewinding his leg for a banger. He then kicked the ball. It flew past Dong-sun's head. Dong-sun looked back at the ball in shock. The ball flew toward the goal, flying toward the corner of the net. Masayoshi then leaped for the ball. The ball then brushed his fingertips, flying into the goal. Everyone on the Asahi Gakuen team looked shocked. Coach Ryuma had his arms crossed, chuckling.

"Of course, the brat had to show off..." Ryuma said. Isao smirked.

"Hey... Stop showing off, just because there are girls around doesn't mean you have to score a goal right as halftime ends..." Hisoka said. Isao then made a pouting face.

"But Hisoka-chan!!~" Isao said. Hisoka looked back, glaring at him.

"Shut up! You sound like a little girl!" Hisoka said. Hisoka turned back around, walking back to his position. Isao then made a taunting face by sticking his tongue out.

"Bleh!~," Isao said. Hisoka sighed, standing in his position. Isao walked back, standing in his position. Dong-sun walked to the middle of the circle as the ref handed him the ball.

"What the hell was that...? That shot power was insane..." Dong-sun internalized. Dong-sun placed the ball in the center circle. He looked around his team, noticing Yuki was the most focused. Yuki nodded. Dong-sun nodded, passing the ball to Yuki. Yuki dribbled the ball up the field. He looked around the field at the defenders and the forwards on Sendai Daiichi. He dribbled forward, seeing Kichiro approaching him.

"Nice pass...!" Yuki internalized. Yuki then passed the ball back to Araki. Araki dribbled the ball up, being approached by Nobu. Araki then returned the ball to Kenji, who passed it to Ichirou. Yukio then ran toward Ichirou, attempting to get the ball. Ichirou then passed the ball back to Masayoshi. Masayoshi then trapped the ball with his foot, keeping it still. He then kicked the ball up the field, landing in front of Araki. Araki dribbled the ball up the field. He then passed the ball to Hiroki. Hiroki dribbled the ball up the field. He stood a few feet from the left side of Sendai Daiichi's penalty box. He then kicked the ball into the penalty box.

"This is it!!" Dong-sun internalized. Dong-sun ran toward the ball, kicking it into the goal. Hachiro then leaped toward the ball a little too late. The linesman then lifted his flag, signaling offsides. Dong-sun clenched his fists in frustration.

"Damn it..." Dong-sun thought to himself. Isao looked at Dong-sun with a focused face.

"That was too damn close... But I promise... This next time, they won't get it so easy..." Isao internalized. Hachiro grabbed the ball out of the goal, placing it in the corner of the goal box. He took a few steps back before running at the ball and kicking it up in the air. The ball flew upfield. The ball then landed on the ground, bouncing in the sky. Araki then ran toward the ball. He jumped up, heading the ball toward Yuki. Saburo then jumped in the air in front of Yuki, heading the ball toward Kaede.

"Crap!" Yuki internalized. Kaede touched the ball with his chest, dribbling forward. He then passed the ball up toward Yukio. Yukio dribbled the ball up the field. He then passed the ball to Isao. Isao approached the penalty box, kicking the ball with his right foot. The ball shot toward the goal. Masayoshi leaped for the ball. The ball would hit his fingers. The ball would blow past his fingers, flying into the back of the next.

"YEAHH!!" Isao shouted. He then ran toward the sideline, sliding on his knees. Yukio and Hisoka ran over, celebrating with him. Isao scored that goal, making the score

89:53

The referee then handed the ball to Dong-sun. Dong-sun placed the ball in the middle of the center circle. He breathed in and out slowly, passing the ball to Yuki. Yuki dribbled the ball up the field, analyzing the field.

"Alright... We're down... We just need to score one more goal then we're back in this..." Yuki internalized. Kichiro ran toward him aggressively. Yuki's eyes widened. He then passed the ball to his left, instinctively. The ball rolled on its own as nobody stood in a close vicinity. Dong-sun's eyes widened. He ran toward the ball at the same time Kichiro did. Kichiro barely got to the ball first, kicking the ball upfield. The ball flew in the air for a second before landing at Isao's feet. Isao dribbled the ball up, dodging all the defenders for Asahi Gakuen. Isao grinned,

"Yuki Nakamoto... You're good but you barely live up to your name..." Isao internalized. Yuki grits his teeth, running toward Isao.

"But for now..." Masayoshi ran up toward Isao. Isao chopped the ball to his right.

"You're still a nameless winger..." Isao internalized. Isao kicked the ball into the top corner of the goal. Isao ran toward the sidelines once more. He jumped, before crossing his arms.

The ref then blew the whistle three times, before signaling the end of the game. Isao walked over to Yuki.

"Great game out there..." Isao said. Isao put his hand out. Yuki grabbed his hand. Isao helped Yuki up. The two then shook hands.

"I'll see you later... Nameless Winger..." Isao said. Yuki smirked,

"Next time we play, I won't be the nameless one," Yuki said. Isao chuckled,

"We'll see," Isao said. The two walked back to their separate benches.

"What a game Yuki!!" Masaki said. Yuki's hair covered his eyes. Yuki smirked,

"Hey Masaki..." Yuki said. Masaki raised a brow,

"What's up?" Masaki asked. Yuki looked up at Masaki,

"I'm ready...!!" Yuki said. Masaki smiled,

"Good!" Masaki said. Araki walked over to Yuki.

"What a debut..." Araki said. Yuki smiled,

"Thanks, captain," Yuki said. The two teams then shook hands.

"How do you feel about the number 7...?" Araki asked. Nuguchi scoffed,

"I'd appreciate it," Yuki said, with a huge smile on his face. The two teams then lined up.

"Thank you for allowing us to practice with you!!" The Asahi Gakuen team shouted in unison. Asahi Gakuen then walked to their bus, heading back home.
