godly display (98)

Nakada found himself surrounded by a swarm of defenders, each one determined to halt his progress.

They were like a wall of stone, unyielding and physical, but Nakada was not one to back down from a challenge.

"So y'all do want to dance," Nakada said as he look s at the player currently rushing toward him.

With the ball glued to his feet, he made his first move. A quick flick with the outside of his boot sent the ball spinning away from the nearest defender.

As he accelerated, the first defender lunged, and Nakada fell to the turf, but he was already up before the defender could react. (A/N It's going to get physical from now on)

The second defender was ready, charging in with a sliding tackle. Nakada leaped, avoiding the defender's leg by inches, and landed with impressive balance.

He regained control of the ball and continued his relentless advance.

The third and fourth defenders were equally aggressive, closing in from both sides.

Nakada feigned a step to the right before executing a lightning-quick step-over, leaving one defender grasping at thin air.

The other attempted a crunching tackle, but Nakada's nimble footwork allowed him to skip over the challenge.

However, the fifth defender, the most physical of them all, was ready for Nakada. He body-checked Nakada with a forceful shove, sending him sprawling to the ground.

Nakada was sent flying to the floor but amazingly the ball still seem glued to his feet, he flick the ball upward making it land on his back to which he just shove it forward as he stood back up.

With just a few yards to go before the goal, Nakada knew he couldn't waste any more time. He initiated a quick one-two pass with Kurona who was currently following him closely by, a lightning-quick exchange that left the defenders in disarray.

The ball was back at Nakada's feet, and he was within striking distance.

As Nakada reach closer and closer to the goal he realize that Aiku and Sae we're coming to press him and in his current state where he barely had any control of his body to begin with.

They had a decent chance to take the ball from him, and as Nakada prepared himself to dribble past them as well, he sensed something.

An unknown variable that has been following him around this whole time, his eyes landed on the figure of the unguarded Rin.

A small smile crept into his face, Aiku noticed that and immediately looked back to notice the unguarded player that was behind him.

He then sight inwardly as he was basically at the backline and if Nakada pass the ball it would be offside.

He then notice that, he was indeed not the farthest player back as one of his teammates was currently guarding the right side of the goal.

The side that Nakada was most likely to shoot toward…..

This situation suddenly just got a lot more dangerous than it should have.

Sae however knew Nakada better than anyone in this field and there was one thing he knew for certain.

Nakada in this state wouldn't pass the ball, he would rather dribble past them before he pass the ball.

Unless he acknowledges the player he isn't passing it and Rin hasn't done anything worthy of acknowledgment.

Sae was right as Nakada did not pass the ball and instead rushed forward toward them with the ball at his feet.

Sae was right and he knew it, Nakada seem like he wouldn't pass the ball even if it meant Rin could score, it may be his ego stopping him from doing it but….he wouldn't pass the ball.

Nakada soon found himself confronted by two defenders who were a force to be reckoned with. Sae, the strategic genius, and Aiku, the fucking defender, formed an impenetrable barrier in front of him. Nakada knew he needed something extraordinary to break through.

With the ball at his feet, Nakada's creativity came to life. He started with a series of intricate step-overs, the ball dancing between his feet like a puppeteer's strings.

Sae looked at the ball moving around seemingly alive, his eyes trying to guess where Nakada would go as that was what he could do right now, he could only guess and act accordingly to that guess, while Aiku stood firm, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Nakada then performed a dazzling elastico, flicking the ball one way before snapping it back with the outside of his foot.

Sae lunged to intercept, but Nakada had already tricked him. Aiku, however, was closing in, and he was not about to let Nakada slip past so easily.

As Nakada approached Aiku, he executed a mesmerizing rainbow flick. The ball arched over Aiku's head, leaving him rooted to the spot.

Nakada sprinted past Aiku, who, knowing full well if this little devil got past him, it was basically a guaranteed goal, fouled Nakada with a sliding tackle.

The referee blew the whistle, and Nakada's side was awarded a free-kick just outside the penalty area.

"Haha," Nakada laughed on the floor.

"The last wall was forced to tackle a 15.. that's funny" Nakada said on the floor.

This whole situation was hilarious to him, he did notice Rin growing frustration and that put a smile on his face.

Aiku had received a yellow card for that tackle as a warning as if he did that again he would be sent out.

A/N I owned y'all a chapter yesterday but couldn't send it so even though the challenge will be over as soon as the power stone reset here is your chapter.

I decided not to be lazy and actually describe what he did to dribble past the players so you could better visualize it in your head.
