The whistle cut sharply through the air once again.
Nagisa, eyes razor-focused, sprinted forward and slid his foot in to challenge the ball. But the opposing player reacted instantly, spinning into a clean turnover move that slipped past Nagisa with effortless precision.
Nagisa froze mid-motion, eyes wide in stunned disbelief.
"A turnover, huh?" he thought, still locked in sharp focus.
Once slipping past Nagisa, the opposing player fired a sharp pass to his teammate. The second Tyrant reached the ball to overstep it smoothly before flicking the ball to his back with the heel of his boot, from where another Tyrant rushed in and immediately struck a long, lofted pass toward the Tokyo Wolves' box.
Keeping his eyes on the lofted ball, Makoto clenched his fists tight and exploded into a sprint. While from the opposite side, another Tyrant broke into a run, chasing the ball.
