The days kept rolling forward, blending into a week of relentless training.
By the first day of the second week, the intensity hadn't eased.
During a short free-kick drill, Jiho stood over the ball, eyes locked straight ahead.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped in and struck the ball powerfully, sending it rocketing toward the net where Kurogami stood ready, his eyes fixed sharply on the incoming shot.
As the ball neared the far right side of the goal, Kurogami dived across, fully stretching his arm and managing to brush the ball away from the target.
Jiho yells, kicking at the grass in frustration.
Standing on the sidelines with the rest of the players, Kento sensei clapped before patting Izaya on the back, sending him in next.
Now standing over the ball, Izaya took a breath before striking it with smooth precision, sending it beautifully curling toward the net.
