Chapter 100

The first fixture between Team A and Team B rages on with the scoreboard level at two each. Rin's audacious blind finish leaves Chigiri stunned and even earns grudging respect from Shido, while Isagi frets over his own invisibility, aware that he must slip free of Karasu and force his way into the attacking play that Rin and Shido are driving.

Across the pitch Chigiri wrestles with the same doubt, questioning whether he too must prove he belongs. Watching Karasu and Otoya trade tactical jabs, he concludes he cannot out-scheme them and should instead lean on the single asset that is truly his own, his blistering pace.

From the restart Karasu glides past Shido, and Chigiri, rejecting the idea of loitering centrally for a pass, tears down the right flank into open space. He shakes off Isagi's attempt to check him, collects a ball from Karasu, and when Rin closes in, slides it to Otoya, who beats Hiori to push Team B ahead by three to two. Otoya, delighted, voices his admiration for Chigiri's speed.

As Rin and Hiori knit passes together, Isagi admires Hiori's awareness before lining up a strike, only for Karasu to slice through his blind spot and smother it. Hiori's ball toward Rin in the box is cut out by Shido, who claims it as his own, but Chigiri pounces on the loose ball and finds Otoya, who releases Karasu under pressure from Nanase. Karasu finishes with ease to stretch the lead to four to two.

Rin and Shido tumble together in a collision and rise grabbing each other's shirts, each insisting Hiori's pass had been meant for him. Watching the two trade barbs, Isagi senses that the friction between them might be the very opening he needs to make himself matter.
