Haruma was soaring through the air, eyes fixed on the ball, every muscle coiled for a thunderous header.
Then, with horrifying speed and deadly intent, Kazutora Inzuka came rushing forward, a predator in motion. His wild, predatory smirk cut through the moment as he leapt alongside Haruma, their bodies collided in midair as Kazutora forced his head between Haruma and the ball, redirecting it away from danger while shoving Haruma violently aside, sending him crashing onto the grass.
The stadium froze, the referee's whistle pierced through the silence, but all eyes were locked on Kazutora.
Raon tried to run at Haruma but Minato caught him mid-stride, holding him back firmly.
"Dang!" Daiki exclaimed from the VIP box, a wide grin on his face, while Ismau and the others let out quiet chuckles.
