Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

Even if the goalposts give me a makeover today, I'm determined to stay here and save the next ball!

So he said to the defender:

"Oda, when was your most glorious moment? Me? It's right now!"

"Kishimoto..."

Seeing the look in his goalkeeper's eyes, the defender straightened his back, as if recalling the spirited look of everyone when he first joined the team.

came back.

He could feel it; everything had come back!

Such scenes are playing out everywhere on the field, pushing the atmosphere of the entire competition to a climax!

"Must win!"

"We must make it to the national competition!"

In the stands.

Sweat beaded on Akagami Hayakumo's forehead.

Manipulating luck is not easy in itself, and compared to Hideyuki Hoshino playing the game himself, he was in the stands far away, which made the exertion even greater.

Damn, this kid's approach might actually be right...

No, it's precisely at times like these that we must not give up!

And so, very soon...

The situation on the field became even more exaggerated.

A ball that's clearly tilted can be blown back by a strong wind.

A fully focused defender might inexplicably get bird droppings on him and miss the pass.

Even more outrageous was the goalkeeper of Hongchuan Middle School, who accidentally swallowed a flying insect, coughed for a long time, and completely forgot about guarding the goal!

Hoshino Hideyuki knew that Akatama Soun had increased his efforts.

It's ok.

He called!

If getting past five players wasn't enough, then the next time he got past seven, shooting the ball and the goalkeeper together into the goal!

The two sides continued their back-and-forth exchanges.

By the end of the first half, the score was tied at 5-5!

Masashi Yoshikawa, sitting in the audience, was in tears.

It's unbelievable that he'd see a game like this during his career!

It's brimming with youth, passion, and high skill—truly a blessing from the god of football!

He could almost see the World Cup trophy spinning and smashing into his feet!

Chapter 88 The Fox: Old Deng, you have no sportsmanship!

Halftime.

Akagami Hayaku wiped the sweat from her forehead.

I was a little tipsy just now...

Damn it, I'm getting affected by this weird atmosphere among these people, all that talk about friendship, national tournaments, and never giving up... It's giving me a headache...

It's time to calm down.

Continuing to engage in a war of words with that kid from afar is not a good idea.

In the second half, I'll settle things with him in my own way...

Akagami Hayakumo twisted his neck and looked at Hoshino Hideyuki, who was disguised as a striker on the field, and found that the other party was also looking at him.

The old celestial dog and the little fox exchanged a smile and then looked away.

The words are divided into two parts.

Inside the teaching building, in the activity room of the comics department.

The student who was drawing the display board looked up and said, "They're really putting in a lot of effort over there on the field. I can hear them cheering from here."

Across from him, Sakamoto Jiro nodded in agreement: "I heard it too."

Another student put down his phone and said, "I saw people in the group saying that today's game was very exciting, so everyone was cheering like crazy."

"real or fake?"

Out of curiosity, Sakamoto decided to go and take a look at the court.

But as soon as he stepped out of the corridor, he noticed a group of suspicious-looking people out of the corner of his eye.

Wait, is that Nozomi Kondo?

And they even brought a group of people from outside the school in?

What is she going to do?

Sakamoto swallowed hard, gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and quietly followed behind them.

The two groups arrived one after the other in front of the activity room of the Game Research Department.

Kondo Nozomi stopped and said to the young people from outside the school she had found:

"You guys go and lie in ambush in the toilet."

"I'll lure Yagami over there, then you guys make your move! Let him know what's what!"

"Wait a minute, why is it so quiet..."

She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly felt something was wrong and looked inside through the glass of the back door.

The game research department was completely empty.

"What happened? Where did everyone go?"

At this moment, one of the three young men from outside the school, a guy with a full beard, scratched his head and said:

"Xi, since he's not here, let's just forget about it..."

Kondo Nozomi turned her head and glared at the bearded man: "Why are you saying things like that again? Didn't I tell you that as long as you beat them up and leave, nothing will happen!"

"I just feel that doing this is pointless..."

"You bastard, weren't you so brave back in school? How come you've become like this after just one year on the construction site!"

The bearded man sighed:

"It was only because I started earning my own money on the construction site, working myself to the bone from morning till night, that I realized how worthless my actions in school were..."

Kondo Nozomi scoffed, "It's just money, right? I'll double what I agreed on, how about that?"

The man pursed his lips, glanced at his worn-out sneakers, and finally shut his mouth.

And around the corner.

Sakamoto covered his mouth, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Kondo Nozomi actually brought in outsiders to fight!

How abominable!

No, I have to inform Brother Toma right away...

suddenly.

A dazzling flash of light streaked past the window.

Then came the rumble of thunder.

Both Sakamoto, who had just taken out his phone to send a message, and Kondo, who was planning to go somewhere else to find someone, were stunned for a moment.

It's thundering?

What a huge thunderbolt...

As they stood there in a daze, white mist gradually began to drift down the corridor...

at the same time.

On the field, everyone was even more stunned.

Just now, at the start of the second half, St. Wo School scored a goal, bringing the score to 6-5.

However, before the players could celebrate, a bolt of lightning struck, creating a crater in the grass!

No, what's going on?

The weather forecast did say it would rain, but it didn't say there would be lightning, which struck right on the field!

What about lightning rods?

Lightning rod, what's the point of all this? You keep giving God the middle finger every day, aren't you just asking to be struck?

With smoke still rising from the ground, the referee blew his whistle.

The teachers on both sides huddled together for a few minutes to discuss the matter, and finally, the referee announced that the competition was terminated and would be rescheduled for another day.

The football players hung their heads dejectedly, and the stands were filled with disappointment.

If the match is rescheduled, will everyone still be in the same form then?

Reporter Masashi Yoshikawa started cursing and swearing.

Do you know what you've ended?

It's not just a match, it's the debut of Japan's rising football stars!

That's downright criminal! He should be hung up in the martial arts hall and spanked in public!

Unfortunately, his protest was ineffective.

Lightning struck the field, so for safety reasons, the school had to stop the game.
