The whistle blew.
The match had begun.
Shun immediately received the ball, but before he could move—
"I GOT THIS!"
One of his previously half-dead teammates, Haru, suddenly charged forward like a man possessed. His eyes were burning with energy, his posture screamed confidence, and—
THUNK.
He tripped. Face first.
Silence.
The entire field just stared as he lay on the ground, unmoving.
"Bro just got humbled by gravity."
"That's gotta hurt…"
Coach:"And this is why you warm up properly."
Ignoring the tragic start, Shun smoothly dribbled past two defenders and quickly passed the ball to Rika.
Rika tapped the ball with finesse, letting it roll through an opponent's legs.
"Oof. That was disrespectful."
"She's smiling too?! That's just evil!"
Rika and Shun moved in perfect sync, cutting through the field like a well-oiled machine.
Shun's lazy teammates, however… were having a different experience.
One of them, Kaoru, attempted a fancy bicycle kick.
Reality: He completely missed the ball and landed flat on his back.
The opponents… just stood there.
"What was that?"
"I think he just breakdanced…?"
Meanwhile, another teammate, Renji, intercepted a pass and shouted—
"BEHOLD, MY TRUE STRENGTH!"
He then tried to launch a powerful long shot.
Reality: The ball went… backward.
Shun facepalmed.
"Renji… we're attacking the other goal, you know?"
Renji:"D-Don't worry! That was just… a warm-up!"
The Shun & Rika Show! 🎭
While the others were turning the match into a comedy special, Shun and Rika continued dominating.
Rika: "Shun, left side!"
A perfect pass.
Shun took a light touch, then instantly blasted a curved shot straight into the goal.
G O A L !
"OOOOHHH!!!" The field erupted.
The opposing team was now panicking.
Opponent 1: "Who said these guys were half-asleep?!"
Opponent 2: "Forget that! We need to stop those two!"
The other team swarmed Shun, but Rika read the situation instantly.
She flicked the ball over a defender's head and sprinted down the right wing.
Shun dashed into position, trusting her.
And sure enough—
Rika: "Shun! Center!"
A pinpoint cross.
Shun jumped. A header.
G O A L !
The match was turning into a massacre.
While Rika and Shun continued breaking ankles, their teammates were… still struggling.
Toru, one of the strongest defenders on Shun's team, finally spoke.
Toru:"Alright. My turn."
He stepped forward, confidence in his eyes.
A player rushed at him.
Toru prepared himself—
Opponent: "Move aside, idiot."
And just like that… Toru got pushed aside like a traffic cone.
The ball rolled past him.
Silence.
Toru:"I hate this sport."
Final Moments: Payback Incoming?
The opponents were now beyond frustrated.
Opponent 1: "Enough of this! Let's shut them down!"
Opponent 2: "No more playing nice!"
They started getting aggressive, pushing forward with full intensity.
Shun wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Looks like they're finally serious, huh?"
Rika smirked.
"Good. It'd be boring if they weren't."
With that, the real game was about to begin.
