It isn't looking good for Ren, he's down 4-2, and it seems like he's awoken something inside Kisaki. That Kokugetsu strike was utterly insane.
'I somehow have to score 3 goals while letting this kid score none... This is unfair.
I want to be the best in the world though, I will win... I'll never lose 10-1 again!'
Ren kicks it forward, and is in a standoff with Kisaki.
'I'll just have to force goals into his net!'
Kisaki is reading Ren as Ren dribbles.
'I can't win if he can read me... He'll predict me if I dribble... So I'll play it in a way he can't predict!'
Ren flicks it up, and heel kicks it over Kisaki's head. Before Kisaki can process, Ren has charged behind him.
'Muscles, win me this game!'
Ren gets the ball and keeps running, he's on the verge of the box. But Kisaki's behind him.
'I'll shoot now!'
But an instinct tells him to look at the ground, when he does he sees Kisaki sliding in for a slide tackle.
Ren looks like he's going to shoot, which would just be blocked. But he fakes it and flicks the ball up into the air.
'Please God!'
Ren jumps up and swings his foot to the ball, and shoots.
"Bicycle Kick!"
The ball slams into the back of the net.
4-3
Kisaki puts it on the kickoff line, his face horrid with anger, almost like a demon.
Ren smiles, "I'm finally getting your recognition!"
"I'll embarrass you, bastard!" Kisaki shouts.
Kisaki flies off kickoff dribbling it at Ren,
'He's not shooting? He wants to humiliate me with dribbling!'
Ren stays calm, his senses have evolved this match, he waits for an opening.
Kisaki cuts right-
'There!'
Ren lunges forward...
...Kisaki jumps over Ren, the ball held between his feet.
Ren pushes himself to the limit again,
'This is the last time I can do this!'
His muscles are straining heavily at this point.
He isn't catching up to Kisaki though,
Kisaki's awakened something...
"I can bicycle kick too-!" Kisaki shouts as he flicks it up.
'I can't reach it!- DAMMIT!...
...Reflex...
...All the greatest defenders say that in the heat of the moment...They shut off their brains...Only focusing on the save...
Shut off Brain!!!!'
Kisaki fires the ball to the top right. "I've won!" He says under his breath.
...
Ren clears the ball from the net with a scissor kick.
"What!?" Kisaki exclaims.
Ren lands on the ground, he charges to the ball.
'If you aren't the weakest in the room... You're in the wrong room... Couldn't be more true! Watch, Kisaki, as I become the strongest in this room! Watch as I surpass you!'
"SEISEN KNUCKLE! 聖戦ナックル"
Ren kicks the ball, it flies from over the half way line, and rockets into the back of the net.
4-4
Ren is happy, but Kisaki thinks...
'Dammit! How do I win?...
Guess I'll become a demon...'
"The next goal wins it Kisaki..." Ren says, but Kisaki stays quiet.
Kisaki charges off kickoff, a blue aura emanating off of him.
He charges past Ren with the ball.
'What are you... Kisaki?'
Ren catches up to Kisaki...
'I need to clear it!'
Ren uses all his might and reaches the right side of the net.
Kisaki slams his foot into the ball, sending it rocketing to the top-left corner.
It's like Ren has a red aura as he somehow reaches it and blocks it.
The ball lands at Kisaki's feet.
"AKUMA SHOT! 悪魔ショット!"
Kisaki sends it rocketing into the net at the speed of light.
Ren couldn't even see his leg move...
5-4
