A Monster Unleashed
The second half kicked off, but by now, the atmosphere had completely changed.
The stadium buzzed with an unspoken tension.
Everyone—players, coaches, and spectators—had their eyes fixed on one person.
Shun Kiryuu.
And Shun?
He was smiling.
Because for the first time in a long while, he felt free.
His legs felt light. His body moved faster than his thoughts.
No fear. No hesitation. Just instinct.
And instinct told him—
Destroy them.
The Hunting Begins
Yokohama's players tried to reset.
They played cautiously, hoping to regain control. They passed sideways, backward—anything to slow the game down.
But Shun wasn't having it.
The moment their center-back received the ball, Shun was already on him.
He lunged forward, pressing high. Too fast. The defender panicked and tried to pass—
Intercepted.
Before anyone could react, Shun flipped the ball over the last defender and dashed forward.
One-on-one with the keeper.
Shun didn't stop.
The keeper rushed out—Shun chipped it over him.
3-2.
The crowd erupted.
The Stadium Holds Its Breath
Whispers spread through the stands.
"Is he really just a high school player?"
"What is this level?"
"He's playing like a professional!"
The Yokohama coach clenched his fists. He had underestimated this boy.
Shun jogged back, eyes burning with intensity.
He wanted more.
Relentless Pressure
Yokohama couldn't breathe.
Every pass they made—Shun was there.
Every attempt to push forward—Shun stopped them.
They couldn't even cross the halfway line.
The stadium watched in awe.
A single player was controlling the entire match.
But Shun wasn't alone.
His energy had infected his team.
Renji and the others matched his intensity.
Rika's passes sliced through Yokohama's defense like a knife.
It wasn't just a team anymore.
It was a storm.
And Yokohama was drowning.
The Final Blow
80th minute.
Yokohama had collapsed. They had given up.
But Shun wanted to end it with a statement.
A ball came from Rika, floating into the penalty area.
Shun watched it, eyes sharp.
One defender leaped—Shun jumped higher.
He twisted mid-air, his back facing the goal.
And then—
BAM!
A bicycle kick.
The ball rocketed into the top corner.
4-2.
Silence. Then… Chaos.
For a moment, the entire stadium froze.
The cameras, the commentators, the fans—
All locked on Shun.
Then, the roar came.
Unbelievable.
Shun landed gracefully and walked away, breathing heavily.
His teammates sprinted toward him, screaming.
Rika's teammates—who had watched from the sidelines—stared at him in pure admiration.
The match was over.
Shun had completely dismantled Yokohama.
And everyone in the stadium knew one thing.
A new king had arrived.
