I was locked in for the summer so seriously be grateful I'm even writing.
Huge time-skip because no one wants to see kids belittle each other and also for some action.
Enjoy!
----------------------
I feel like I've gotten a lot stronger when it comes to my football ability.
It's been 6 years since I came here and I'm now 16. I'm still playing for the same shitty ass high-school team since my parents forced me to enrol there.
I lowkey carried them in every match, most of the goals were scored by me.
This is mainly because ever since realizing I had vision, I just worked on my accuracy with the ball. My passing and shooting to be exact.
When put into deadly use, I could give precise passes and shoot from nearly anywhere. However, I feel like my creativity has been a bit lacking because now I can do pretty much anything on the pitch.
I may know the best path but if someone else can see it then I would need to improvise on the spot instead of having a plan b or c. I mean, my adaptation was nothing to laugh at but the struggle of having to see that someone could catch up with me was so infuriating for some reason.
To be honest, I've become a really good player but I wasn't perfect. My dribbling was just short of atrocious but it was brilliant in this level of play.
It didn't matter that I couldn't dribble because my shooting couldn't be stopped whether that be at range or close up. I remember that I had scored twice from the halfway line, admittedly my teammates were elated but also a bit angry since they also wanted to score.
They act as if perfecting this shooting was easy. I had to do 500 volleys, 500 power shots, 500 normal shots, 500 curling shots and finally 500 long shots.
I started doing this when I was 12 since my first two years were spent perfecting my metavision. When I was 12 I had been lowered to just 50 shots, but slowly as it became more and more easier I pumped up the level till I managed to hit 500 of each.
Aside from my training and improvement, I was finally in the qualifiers for these nationals in Japan or something.
Even though most people would consider this a high level, I couldn't help but think that this was kind of an easy and beginner type of difficulty.
Yes, I know I may sound cocky but c'mon when you are averaging 3 to 5 goals a match it just gets to a point.
It was already the second half and we were up two goals thanks to me.
"Man, you truly are no joke!" Kira said towards me.
"Man you truly are a joke," I replied with a smirk on my face.
He didn't reply, just smiled and went back to defend. We started with the ball and immediately two players went to stop me from shooting.
Taking a smart manoeuvre, I decided to dribble back to my side of the goal and yet the two opposing players were still filled with vigour and trying to tackle me.
"You know it's not good to double-team a person who has good passing ability," I murmured then whipped in a curling pass towards the other side of the field.
After a few more plays, my team ultimately lost the goal after it hit the post.
I sighed, "A bunch of half-baked players out here,".
"You know that's not a good thing to say about your teammates!" Kira said to me.
"I'm talking about you and your shitty shoe-licking team," I taunted back.
"You can talk as much as you like but the team are the ones who lead towards victory," Kira spoke back.
I didn't reply and went in for a tackle, but he quickly passed it before I could reach him.
"So that's it huh… Kira's teamwork against my ego!"
The defence was atrocious as usual and conceded a goal with Kira scoring.
"You see Isagi, without my team I wouldn't have scored, maybe you haven't realized yet but without your team, you wouldn't have scored!" Kira said smugly towards me.
The start of kickoff started and my teammate passed it to me.
"Isagi, I can see that smile on your face, go crazy!" he said to me.
As soon as the ball went towards me, two players went towards me but a quick 360 roulette got rid of them.
I saw the distance between me and the goal and it was still too far for me to power-shot it.
Two more players started to come towards, seriously can't they like fuck off.
Seeing no other option I passed it to a free player. He seemed to hesitate to act, so I had to take the initiative.
"Give me the ball," I demanded while glaring at him.
Without a second of thought he passed it back to me, I used my speed to just outrun the players behind. I just needed like 10 more steps till I was able to be in my shooting range.
But just 5 steps before, Kira stepped in.
"And where do you think you are going," Kira smirked.
"How exactly do you plan to stop me."
"I've got my team with me!" his stupid sense of power of friendship was making him not realize his true potential.
"Not good enough," I spoke back calmly.
I had first planned to dribble past him, but you know what?
FUCK IT
I readied myself to shoot and Kira seemed a little bit shocked and went for the steal but improvising I turned it into a fake.
The surprise on ominous feeling on his face was to die for. The rest of the team seemed discouraged seeing that their leader, their treasure was defeated.
The leader was the most essential part of any part of life, just like back in WW2. Most people weren't thinking of killing all the German troops, just the leaders who coordinated the whole thing.
I didn't feel a single bit of sympathy for them I felt the opposite…
Happy
I planted my foot took my shot, and slowly watched as the goalkeeper dived towards it but it wasn't able to stretch enough to reach the ball as it forcefully cushioned itself against the net.
A goal.
"Your style of play is lukewarm, don't ever touch a football ball again," I said towards Kira as he watched the score go from 2:1 to 3:1.
Kira couldn't take it, I could slightly see a slight bit of tears as his dreams of going to the nationals were slowly slipping away.
"Don't cry now, you are after all Japan's national treasure!" I mocked.
His sadness quickly accelerated towards anger at my remarks.
"You've already scored thrice, just leave me alone man."
My smile just sickened, another dream I had destroyed. Another player who realized his stupid ideals were stopped by me. I loved doing it, devouring people just felt natural at this point.
"How does it feel to be the clown of my story," I mocked while stretching out my hand.
Kira just put his head down. There was no need for me to mock him more.
Thinking about this defeat, he may grow an ego and possibly get past the first selection of the blue lock project.
Either way, I was feeling kind of full after devouring him so now I would make sure that someone else would come up. I would be subbing off, I didn't care if my team made it or not. I scored my three goals.
"Coach I'm subbing off… Akira, I don't care if you are just back from being injured, you are coming on now there are only 10 minutes left," I ordered to the coach. I think I was more of the coach since he wasn't a football coach, he was just there as a figurehead. (A/N: A bit different from OG, but he gotta aura-farm before getting clapped in blue lock)
"Coach, I'm coming on huh," Akira replied with a smirk on his face.
