"Where the hell have you been?" Was how her brother greeted her as she entered their VIP booth.
The whistle had just resounded for the end of the first half.
She only let out a groan before plopping on the seat next to Kinako's, sitting directly behind her best friend. Then, she dropped her forehead to his shoulder.
"Hey!"
"Borrowing."
"That's fine and all, but don't fall asleep before answering the question."
"Ugh... Have any of you ever heard of Clara Jane?"
"Who?" It surprised absolutely no one that Nishiki was first to ask. Though they couldn't hold it against him either since none of them knew either.
"Just wait for him. He'll explain every single detail."
As if on cue, a familiar voice boomed throughout the stadium.
"Looks like you need my power after all!" Zanark stood on one of the pillars of the stadium, smirking down at them with his arms crossed. He then jumped down just as the whole El Dorado Team 03 stood up to meet him. Most of their conversation was inaudible given how far they were, but his voice rang loud and clear when he called on Daisuke. "Stone grandpa! I kept my promise to you!"
"What promise?" Ichino asked.
"He made a deal with Daisuke-san that he was going to train until he's worthy of becoming the strongest eleventh player in history." Kimiko muttered.
"Exactly!" Zanark's voice came again. Daisuke the stone must've asked. "Do you want to hear it? You want to hear about my training ordeal, don't you? Then, I'll tell you! The average human isn't enough to power me up, am I right? That's why I travelled to all sorts of different time periods, searching for something that would give me real power."
"He really is about to spill every single detail." Aoyama sweatdropped.
"At one point, I fought with fierce beasts... At one point, I dealt with the heat of live magma... And at one point, I swam through a huge whirlpool."
"D-Did he drag you through all that?" Masato asked.
His sister shook her head. "No. He came to me on his final night, after he found the time period of and was about to go MixiMax with the one he chose... It was not fun."
"While searching for a MixiMax partner, at the same time, I put myself in harsh conditions to train myself. I felt as if something inside of me was spurring me on! That's when I finally met her! I found her! The perfect partner for me! I decided to MixiMax with her! ...Clara Jane. That's her name."
"I still can't recall any historical figure with that name." Kidou said, crossing his arms in thought.
Midori blinked. "If even Coach Kidou can't, then..."
"I made Clara Jane's bottomless power my own! Stone grandpa! Put me in the second half! As a forward!"
Gouenji seemed to be fine with it, switching Hikaru out.
"What kind of person is this Clara Jane?" Kinako asked.
Just as she was about to open her mouth, his voice came again. "Kiko! Don't you dare give any spoilers! This is my story to tell!"
She finally looked up, glaring at the green haired boy. "It's Kimiko! And after everything that happened, I don't even have the energy to think about it!" The answer got her a smirk. She groaned before leaning back to her seat. "Sorry, Kinako, but I meant what I said. I'll add in my own details when he's done."
