Chapter 79

Hasegawa Izumi smiled calmly, raised a finger, and said matter-of-factly.

He didn't show the same arrogance towards his teammates as he had in the previous challenge, but he was still handsome.

This surprised everyone except for Sunohara.

Soon, the atmosphere of their conversation became lively.

"Now I finally understand what it feels like to have Big Daddy in your team. It's so reassuring!"

"Hahaha, this is called the C position! Don't you understand?"

"Hey, do we still need to discuss strategy now?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? Do we need a strategy? Can't we just watch Hasegawa-kun kick it all by himself?!"

Such words often sound sarcastic or sarcastic, but in this situation, no one seems to feel that way at all.

'These guys aren't really planning to give up, are they?'

Hasegawa Izumi was speechless.

He's Hacker Player, not someone who comes here to place orders.

Then he said with a smirk, "Don't forget, this is a rare opportunity for you guys to show off, there are lots of girls watching outside."

"That's right!"

Sunohara and the others immediately realized what was happening.

"This is a golden opportunity to show off! If I perform well, girls will be asking for my contact information in no time!"

"Hasegawa-kun, please! Please go easy on them!"

Sunohara and the others bowed deeply to him.

Hasegawa Izumi:...

Wow, you changed your mind that quickly!

I'm truly impressed by you guys.

Outside the football field.

A figure occupied a corner, a completely off-limits area compared to the bustling surroundings.

Shinomiya Kaguya is enveloped in Cold Force Field, and coupled with her noble status, no one dares to overstep her bounds.

But this intimidation was completely ignored by the girl who arrived immediately.

"Kaguya-chan, so you came to watch Izumi-chan's match too!"

Fujiwara Chika suddenly appeared beside her, startling her.

"Uh... um."

Shinomiya Kaguya paused for a moment, then quickly added, "This is a friendly match between Shuchiin and Soubu High School, and as the Student Representative, I..."

Let's watch it together.

Before she could finish her official statement, Fujiwara Chika reached out and hugged her arm.

Who are you? Are we that close?

Shinomiya Kaguya seemed a little uncomfortable and turned her head away, but she didn't push him away ruthlessly.

We've known each other for quite a while now.

At the same time.

The students from Soubu High School who hadn't yet left also gathered outside the soccer field, eager to watch this exciting soccer match.

"Hmph! Let me see what you're really made of! I don't believe you're really that powerful!"

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at the Blonde Beauty who was complaining a few meters away from her, then looked back at the arena.

"Hasegawa-kun, let me see just how powerful you really are! Powerful enough to make so many people accept your 'uniqueness'."

She's waiting to see.

After warming up, before the competition begins.

The two football teams moved to the midfield position for a handshake.

Both team captains stood in the first position, and the ace player stood in the second position.

"Hasegawa-kun, it's nice to meet you. My name is Hayama Hayato."

The blond, handsome man in front of me smiled and extended his hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Hayama-kun."

Hasegawa Izumi concealed the sharpness in her eyes and responded politely in return.

"I hope we can have a thrilling football match."

He continued.

"I hope so."

Hayama Hayato nodded in acknowledgment, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

As expected, the rumors were not very credible.

The other person was clearly a very polite person, not arrogant at all.

So, are those records exaggerated?

This was the thought of Hayama and the others at Soubu High School at the same time.

Sunohara noticed the change in their expressions and chuckled inwardly.

Next, you will witness true Great Terror!

After the friendly exchange, the referee selected the starting point and field by tossing a coin.

As a result, Soubu High School gained the right to choose between the first and second turns.

"Very good!"

"We'll attack first!"

The people at Soubu High School were overjoyed; some even jumped for joy.

In contrast, Shuchiin and the others seemed completely unconcerned, which made people secretly wary.

"Everyone be careful!"

Noticing this, Hayama Hayato quietly reminded the others.

However, simply being careful is not enough.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the opening whistle.

92. Hasegawa hasn't even gotten serious yet.

Both sides used 4-3-3 Formation. For Soubu High School, Hayama Hayato played as Forward, while for Shuchiin, Hasegawa Izumi was positioned as Attacking Midfielder, also known as an Attacking Midfielder Second Striker.

In terms of roles, the Attacking Midfielder is responsible for organizing and passing the ball, while the Forward is mainly responsible for scoring and attacking. However, in this match, it was a completely different story.

The two, both carrying expectations, faced each other on the court; one was calm and collected, the other looked solemn.

"Hayama, let's go together! Let's teach them a lesson!"

As the whistle blew, Sato, positioned on the Left Winger, boldly called out.

"Good!"

Hayama Hayato responded and began to regulate his breathing.

You'll only know for sure once you see it with your own eyes!

Being suspicious now is pointless.

As the whistle blew, he dribbled the ball a few steps before passing it to Sato.

The wingers and Forward pressed forward rapidly at the same time.

"Aaaaaah! No one can stop me!"

Sato sprinted forward with the ball, but soon found himself surrounded and blocked by Shuchiin.

Suzuki, the Left Midfielder of the Shuchiin soccer team, rushed over.

"Don't even think about going there!"

He made a gesture as if he was about to intercept the ball.

"Did you think I was going to dribble past them? No way! This ball is obviously for our ace!"

Sato did not act rashly, but chose to pass the ball safely.

He kicked to the right.

"Nice pass."

After receiving the ball, Hayama Hayato praised it and then demonstrated his excellent dribbling skills, continuing to break through forward.

Meanwhile, his teammates behind him also launched a large-scale offensive.

The storm formed in an instant!

"Wow, they're amazing! Their teamwork is incredible!"

Suzuki turned around and looked on in surprise.

This is far beyond their skill level, at least in terms of teamwork.

The opposing team only has a few freshmen, while their team has almost all of them. This is currently the weakest period for the Shuchiin Soccer Club.

"No wonder the captain thought we couldn't win before... But now it's different! After all, we've brought out the royal capital of our Shuchiin!"

His expression brightened, and his eyes revealed anticipation.

Just as Hayama Hayato continued forward, this time the person standing in front of him was none other than Hasegawa Izumi, a figure they had been wary of since before the match.

The other person charged straight at him, their sharp eyes radiating confidence.

Should we try to break through?

'This is a good opportunity to test the waters.'

'But this is a great opportunity to score; we shouldn't take risks.'

Hayama Hayato hesitated for a moment, then quickly made a decision.

He doesn't have that arrogant idea of having to compete with others; winning for the team is the most important thing.

He kicked the ball, passing it to his teammate on his right.

"That's about what I expected, Hayama-kun."

Not far away, the formidable enemy he had identified suddenly laughed.

"What!?"

Hayama Hayato was startled, and immediately realized something.

Just as their own winger was about to receive the ball, the opposing midfielder suddenly appeared, as if he had a premonition, and intercepted the ball from mid-air.

"We succeeded! Just as Hasegawa-kun said!"

The Shuchiin players, wearing jerseys with the Number 7, looked delighted.

Hasegawa Izumi had already seen through the opponent's mental state and predicted that the opponent would not confront him head-on and would definitely choose to pass the ball.

At this point, he took on the role of commander, ordering the vanguard to go and stop them.

"Let's launch a counterattack!"

Player Number 7 began dribbling forward, displaying great enthusiasm and excitement.

This is a rare opportunity to show off your skills!

Soubu High School immediately switched to a defensive stance, and all his men surrounded and blocked them.
