Chapter5: Isagi vs Leon

Arc1: Chapter5

~Team Z's training room~

"Ready, Isagi-kun?" Leon stood with a ball under his feet. The rest of Team Z huddled around in the side line. This match didn't involve them. Although, they also would like to compare notes with Leon if they could.

"Yes." Isagi nodded, nervous. But then again, who wouldn't be nervous when the Ose Leon was your enemy? The people who thought Ose Leon's popularity was due to his appearance were nothing more than idiots.

"The one who scores three goals first is the winner!"

Bachira blew the whistle and this signaled the start of the match.

With the ball close to his feet, Leon dashed toward Isagi in a straight line. Isagi was confused at first. But he regained his composure in a matter of seconds and readied himself to receive the moves Leon might make.

With his hands spreaded outward, Isagi kept a close eye on Leon. 'Woahh... the pressure sure is different!' Cold sweat slided down his back as Isagi thought.

'Right? Left? Or would he kick it between my legs?'

Isgai was honestly a nervous wreck right now and his body was too stiff. And that caused a slight hesitation in his movements and he wasn't able to react in time when Leon kicked the ball to the top.

Correct, to the top!

Instead of the first, second, or third choices, Leon chose the fourth choice!

When Leon was within five meter range of Isagi, he kicked the ball upward and dashed off; leaving Isagi behind in the dust.

Isagi snapped out of his state and rigidly chased after Leon. Damn it, I'm too pathetic right now!

Piiiiiiiiiiiii–!!!

"The first score went to Ose Leon!" Bachira announced.

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

Isagi gritted his teeth. And ran. This time, the ball was under his control and he maneuvered it away from Leon.

Of course, Leon wasn't about to let him get away easily. The presence chasing Isagi from behind was– honestly, intimidating. Almost as if he was out to kill someone.

Goal! Score! Scoring was the only thing in Isagi's head right now. Isagi's legs became faster; he was using more of his strength, all unconsciously.

The black mass swirled like a vortex in Isagi's pupil. Confidence grew in his heart.

Just as Isagi was about to make a direct shot, Leon came out of nowhere to steal the ball. Damn it, I thought I had him! Where the hell did he come from!?

Being obsessed with art alone wasn't about to make Leon strong. One of Leon's weapons was 'False and Shadow Instant'. In addition, he also had an outstanding 'Spatial Awareness'.

When using False and Shadow Instant, one had to pair it with the Spatial Awareness. For example, Isagi knew where Leon was previously because of his imperfect Spatial Awareness. That was also why he thought this was his goal and Leon wouldn't be able to catch up to him.

At that moment, Leon suddenly disappeared. And because it was too sudden, Isagi didn't manage to notice his absence, making him think that Leon was still in the place he was supposed to be.

All it took was an instant. A moment, just an instant, Leon used almost all the fuel he had to get to his desired place, the perfect position by using Spatial Awareness, making it seem as though he appeared out of nowhere.
