The Bastards Game Plan
Seated with my other classmates as we watch the start of the match.
My request to Hinata was to put me on the second half and let me play until the end without subbing me out. which she happily agreed since she knows of how athletic I was.
The first eleven from our side will be mostly boys on the attacking and midfield while the girls were positioned at the defending side. Our goalkeeper is our second tallest male student, his name was Touru if I'm not wrong.
Our opponent on the other hand are mostly male, 8 to be exact and 2 girls that were guarding the goal. As expected Kirishima was on the starting eleven as well as Takemichi, most of the other boys were either a delinquent, athletes or just fit overall.
"Looks like they want to score goals one after the other"
With their team composition I'm sure that it was Kirishima who proposed to start with the most fit individuals in his class to score or secure more goals and just added the two girls in order for him to prevent complaints from both his classmates and mine.
He should be doing this knowing that I don't participate in any of the P.E. class activities and in order to not get in my bad side I'm sure he already warned his team that they can't be too rough on Hinata during the game since she has a badge.
In his mindset messing with Hinata means dealing with me.
'He's not wrong but Takemichi is also there so no funny stuff should happen to Hinata since they were close friends, oh wait are they?'
I know that they talk together since there was that rumor and the future Takemichi should have visited Hinata on her home so they should be somewhat close.
"Hope I'm not wrong"
Hinata may get confused by the treatment she gets if the the Takemichi of the future and the present have different approach to her since as she told me that they were not in any kind of romantic relationship.
Going back to the game as a toss coin was deciding who will have the first ball. Landing on the heads Kirishimas' class gets the ball first.
The match will be played from two classes taking 40 minutes each half and it is within the class judgement if they want to continue with their first eleven or sub someone in whenever they want.
"Well then lets watch and learn... Literally" as a smirk appear on my face I concentrate all attention on the match that have started.
===== Kirishima PoV =====
"Looks like Akaou-san is not interested on this match so we can have our fun"
Surrounding me are two members from the same football club as me and the other two are my close friends. They get to have a little benefit from the lax treatment the teachers give me because they always butter me up to inflating my ego.
"We can't play too rough Kirishima, if just one of those students from the other class complaint about how we play they might turn to Tachibana for help"
As my friend number 1 warned, if we harass them too much Tachibana may need to step up. But knowing her personality she won't ask for Akaou-san for help and resolve the issue herself.
"We just need to be cautious, rough play in football always happen all the time so we can always use that as an excuse, and some 'Accidents' may occur during the heat of the match"
Saying those last words my eyes darted into the four defenders near the goal.
"They're not bad, as expected of this school the girls are all high quality"
After enjoying the view of the four defending players of the other class I sensed that someone was looking at me. Letting my eyes roam around the field they landed on a pair of golden eyes locked down on me. Many of the students here may not sense it, but I can.
The feeling of a Predator observing its prey, those stare were giving me goosebumps as cold sweat was dripping on my back. The pressure he was exuding was no joke, even at this distance I could feel the heavy pressure he was directing all around. Looking at the other students a few could feel that pressure but couldn't distinguish what it was or where it was coming from.
Then all of a sudden as if nothing happened, the pressure just disappeared. Glancing at the side of the opposing class for this match I saw the one who was responsible for that pressure to be talking with three girls and 2 boys. 'It's the usual group that always hang around with Akaou-san'
'I need to keep my cool, I haven't done anything that warranted to gain his attention especially his anger' As I try to calm myself after that experience, I focus back to the game.
The game started normal, our opponents were just wanna be athletes their motions were too wide and they tire themselves too fast since all they do is run around and chase the ball without proper coordination with their teammates.
Due to their amateur way of playing our game plan was simple. First was we let them kick the ball as near as they can to our goal before stealing the ball back and let them run around to chase after the ball. My favorite is using the sliding tackle to get the ball back from the opposing players because it not only does the job in getting the ball, It sometimes does collateral damage to the opponent as they get tripped hard from it. Me, my friends and my lackeys get to have a good chuckle whenever they do get tripped.
The second part of the plan was to exhaust them when they chase after the ball, only after that when they won't be able follow us to run back into their side of the field do we sprint in order to face the goal keeper with the 3 beautiful girl defenders. And that's when we have our fun.
The goalkeeper was tall with a big wingspan and reach but he wasn't an issue for me.
Even after reaching the opponents goal post, we didn't start to kick for the goal right away. We played it easy so that it was the defenders this time that was chasing the ball.
This time however we didn't rally the ball at a fast phase as we first let some of the girls reach us. We let them have a chance to get near the ball as they become physical with us from light pushing to pulling, and that's when the fun starts. With a calculative smile on my my face as I enjoy the 'skinship' of those tryin to get the ball, and in these proximity I used every chance I get to cup a feel on those melons and cakes through 'innocent accident'.
This was what we wanted when we were discussing our plan for this play, since their focus was all on getting possession of the ball. They were all a little oblivious that we were already cupping a feel on them, and in the off chance that they do realize we could always use the excuse that it was just rough play as we were giving them a chance.
As well as that they were the one that started to be physical in order to get the ball.
After enjoying a few feels here and there, we couldn't just let them chase for long or else we would be suspicious so I started to make some goals.
Yes, I.
Whenever it was time to score a goal I always demand the ball from my teammates, I was a Striker and my enjoyment in scoring goals are as enjoyable as to what we were doing with the girls and their no way in hell I was willing to give these losers a chance to score a goal while I'm here.
With every time I go for a goal, I like to do it in many different ways. From Volley kick to Dipping shots, this game was more like a showcase of my skill than a friendly match between classes.
Every goal I make would be resulted with a huge around of applause from both classes, because even though we were enemies in this match but due to my flashy goals they couldn't help but be amazed and enjoy the show I was giving them.
Before long due to the high intensity in which how the players of the other class played or more like chase the ball, some of their first eleven had to be subbed out constantly in order to let the others play while also letting them rest.
We had to let them score a few goals in order to improve their mood thinking they have a chance to win this.
Their was a point in this first half that It was mostly girls with Tachibana being one of them. We had to be careful when we played against her so all we could have done was increase our phase so she gets tired quickly.
We let Takemichi the blond delinquent to guard her whenever she is in possession of the ball since they were acquainted.
This continued for 40 minutes ending the mark for the first half, resulting in the score of 7-2, seven being us of course.
Our opponents were so tired that all they could do was lay on the ground to rest and relax as they catch their breaths. As it was a 20 minute break before the start of the second half, on my way to the drinking fountain I heard someone behind me.
"Memorized"
Turning around all I saw was Akaou Mikoto staring at a phone surrounded with his gang of friends with a wide smile on his face.
"What's with this foreboding feeling"
With an uncomfortable feeling I went back on my way to the drinking fountain as I try to ignore the bad feeling I was having.
===== Mikoto PoV =====
As the match was about to start my delinquent friends came out of nowhere and said hi to me. If I had to guess I can confidently say that they are here after skipping there class.
After talking with them for a bit they decided to stay and watch the match with me since they had nothing better to do. Noticing the phone that Honoka was holding I called out to her and ask for a favor.
"Honoka, do you mind recording the match of the first half?"
"Hmm~~ Sure~ I don't mind" readying the camera of her phone she point it at the starting match.
"Focus it on Kirishima and his plays"
"Okay~~~, you'll have to treat me a Boba later for this you know~~"
"Got it, I'll leave the recording to you then"
After coming to an agreement with Honoka I focus my thoughts back to Kirishima.
Curious as to why I ask Honoka to record the match, Natsuki asked me directly.
"Miko-chin why the sudden recording? I know you're not interested in football because you told me before that it was boring for you"
"That's true, we also know that you're more interested in fighting clubs like the Judo club or the Karate club." followed by Anna.
"So why the sudden interest?" asked Furuichi inserting himself on the conversation.
While Oga on the other hand was preparing to take a nap in the shade of a tree near us.
"Their is no special reason" I answered followed by pointing at Kirishima. "I just wanted to mess with Kirishima with the football he was so proud off"
They looked at me not understanding why I was targeting Kirishima, and if he ever did something to me that warranted for me to mess with him.
All they did was hum while the focused their attention to the game. During the game they realize what Kirishima and his goons were doing. They wanted to report it but I raised my hand and told them to leave it for now and just watch.
I also explained to them that it was better for the girls that they don't realize that they were taken advantage during this game, while they innocently enjoyed the sport they were playing.
I just advised them to tell the girls later if they really wanted to tell them what happened especially to Hinata so she can help carefully explain to the other girls to be careful during physical activities that both genders participates in.
Furuichi and Anna argued that we should let the teacher know of what they were doing.
It shocked them when I said that the teacher would just let it slide and that they would even defend Kirishima while minimizing the damage to his image.
They wanted to protest and get to the bottom of this, but I calmed them down when I said that I'll handle it and humiliate him later.
After calming down they started to cheer for Hinata when it was her turn on the field.
It was a relief that they weren't stupid enough to do the same thing to Hinata as it wasn't just me who would spring up from my seat and swing my arm right at Kirishimas' face but also Anna, Natsuki, Honoka and even Furuichi if it ever come to that.
Around 10 minutes before the match ended I asked for Honoka to stop recording and borrowed her phone.
While the last few minutes of the first half were ending, my focus was solely on the recording which I was watching attentively. I was studying Kirishimas every movement, every perks and every weaknesses in order to improve it and steal all his moves.
When the first half ended, I also finished memorizing all of his moves. I was so excited that I couldn't help but blurt out the words after watching the video.
"Memorized"
With a wide smile on my face I was excited to show what I learned on the upcoming second half after the break.
