Chapter 18 - 6v6 Pt.6

'This is bad, really really bad...

Morita has evolved into something that isn't human...

That goal was insane...

There is 16 minutes left in the match, If I can score again, then keep Morita trapped, then we can win...

But keeping him trapped is impossible!

He just slammed through my defence strategy...

Is there any strategy to beat him now?

...

There isn't...

We are just simply too bad...

Maybe if I get Endo in on it too, but he stays further behind...

Damn it! Why's he so good!?

His shot accuracy is so high...

He's so good at dribbling...

His speed is superhuman...

His strength is also superhuman...

I beat him for a second...

I evolved past his whole team...

But he evolved back...

And he scored that goal...

Is there any way to stay ahead of him for good?

How do I know that he won't just evolve again?

I don't think there is any certainty...

Football's so damn amazing! I keep meeting amazing people!

I want to surpass all of them! I want to be the best!

And I can't be the best if I can't beat a highschooler...

So dig deep... And think... Improvise... Evolve...

Become better!

I'm determined to get a hat trick... But Itoshi hasn't done much since he scored that goal...

...

That's it!

Itoshi's been on defence... So if I get him back on offence then our chances of scoring have doubled!

Maybe more... I don't know if I've surpassed him yet...

I guess I'll find out!'

"ITOSHI!" Ren calls out.

Itoshi runs up, "Yes?"

"I want you back on offence."

"What? Why? What about your plan to stop Morita?"

"Well, I realised that he can't be stopped. So if we bolster our attack, maybe we can score more goals than Morita."

Itoshi thinks about it for a second. "It is a bit embarrassing that you have more goals than me, I'll go back to offence!"

"What's that meant to mean?"

Ren holds the ball on kickoff, he's face to face with Morita, who's drooling.

He's muttering something like "Win win kill".

Ren passes to Itoshi, who controls it well.

"Morita, that way you broke through our defence was pretty cool, let me do it too!" Itoshi shouts.

"MIIIINEEEEEEEEE!!" Morita scrambles to the ball.

Itoshi leaps off the ground so hard that it gets ripped up out of the ground.

Tanigawa is in his way, "P-please stop!"

"Outta my way!" Itoshi roulette's around him.

"I bet you'd catch up!" Morita slides in front of Itoshi.

"MINEMINEMINEMINEMINEMINEMINEMINEMINE!"

"Good positioning Ren!" Itoshi crosses it, to Ren who ran behind the defence.

'No, that was a great run! This whole team was focused on your run that they didn't even notice my run behind them.

Now let me receive this pass we-

HOW!?'

Morita jumps up into the air, controlling the ball in the air, a solid two meters in the air.

"MIIIIINEEEE!!!"

Morita lands on the ground. He starts running at full speed.

'I haven't done anything this match... I've just been a burden...

If I don't stop him here... I'LL HAVE DONE NOTHING!' Aizawa thinks.

Aizawa runs in front of Morita. "STOP!"

Morita runs left.

'C'mon Aizawa, MOVE!'

Aizawa drops all of his body to the ground, sticking his feet out.

'GOOOO!'

Morita trips and loses the ball, it rolls to Fujisawa.

"Great tackle, Aizawa! ITOSHI!" Fujisawa slams the ball to Itoshi.

Itoshi controls it well mid-air.

"I got this one from you, REN! SCREWBALL!!!"

He fire's the ball at full speed, it speeds towards Matsuda, who is going to save it...

...But it drops to the floor... Matsuda missed...

"I don't wanna lose..."

Tanigawa stops the ball, with a perfect block.

"Please score, wonder boy!" Tanigawa crosses it to Morita.

'I didn't expect Tanigawa to do anything!

I want to surpass Morita...

No!

I will surpass Morita!

SO BLOCK THIS REN! WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!'

Ren jumps with all his power.

'IT SHOULD LAND HERE! HEADER IT NOW! YOU CAN'T LET IT GO TO MORITA!'

The ball bounces off the ground once.

Morita is running to it...

...And Ren headers it away!

'YES!'

The ball flies to Endo. "Me?"

"That's mine... Give it here..." Morita lands behind him, no longer in his crazed state.

"Shit!" Endo goes to pass it, but Morita steals it.

"Get off My pitch you half-assed piece of shit!" Morita runs, just outside the box. "My redemption, and winner, GOAL! MORITA SHOT!"

'No! That's going in! SHIT!!!'

The ball flies towards the top right of the net, it's going in, the goalie can't get to it.

"Who'd you call half-assed?"

Endo blocks it mid-air, before it goes in!

The match is headed into it's last 10 minutes, who will survive?
