"Great job!"

"Hate to admit it, but I guess they really are still worlds ahead of us."

"Hey, on the bright side, that means we've got plenty of ways to become even more powerful that we haven't learned yet."

"That MixiMax thing is impossible though."

"Shut up before we start spiraling into time traveling again."

"Not bad! You truly are the team that saved the galaxy!" Sarjes laughed from the center circle.

"Now, it is our turn to be serious." Acrous started the next kick off, and in a blink, the two rushed past the forwards.

"Wha―?!"

"Seriously?!"

"Einsatz―" Shindou was stopped by a giant white gryphon creature in place of Sarjes. It roared loud before dropping its entire weight on top of him.

Sarjes came out of the dust and kicked the ball up high. It glowed bright, summoning an entire galaxy.

"Galactica Fall!"

Both he and Acrous jumped up, kicking the ball down towards the goal, pulling the gargantuan star cluster along with it.

"Goseishin Titanias!"

Shinsuke quickly summoned his keshin again, but the shot was faster than he had estimated. The score was tied, 1-1.

"They're about as strong as Ixal Fleet." Shindou stated.

"And it's just been those two doing all the work." Shinsuke pointed out.

"That's probably on purpose, seeing how this match is just those two wanting to test Kyou and Tenma." Kimiko replied. "But to be safe, I think we should do the same thing as the first round and not let them do anything."

"We can't let Sarjes and King Acrous use that move again either." Tenma said, nodding to himself.

"At least we know their strong points now." Tsurugi added. "They're both forwards, but King Acrous specializes more at shots than offensive tactics. Sarjes is the opposite."

"So we'll have an easier time stealing the ball from his highness, and Shinsuke can better block shots from sir thousand slayers. Got it." Kimiko muttered, turning to where their opponents were waiting for them.

"I messed up just now, but I won't make the same mistake!" The little keeper said, determination burning in his eyes. "Leave the goal to me! I'll stop them no matter what!"

"Yeah! We're counting on you, Shinsuke!" The captain high fived him, before turning serious again. "Still, we need to find a way to score past that keeper's Soul."

Shindou nodded. "We don't know how strong that Soul is because Kimiko diverted its attention for us last time, but if that hissatsu was anything to go by, I think Matei Gryphon would've been right on par with it."

"Aside Shinsuke, all of our keshins' hissatsus are for shooting. Tsurugi and Kimiko―"

"Kyousuke's is stronger." The girl cut the brunette off. "But Lancelot alone can't measure up to Gryphon. And MixiMax hissatsus are weaker than keshins too, so that's also off the list."

"But I doubt misdirecting them would be as easy when we're doing it the second time around." Tsurugi pointed out.

"Yeah, so we'll go straight from the front like we originally planned." The blonde said, holding her hand up. "I'll take the lead this time."
