text on board (left to right) Game 1st half 2nd half
Enoshima 0 2 2
Shounan University Affiliated 0 1 1

[] Enoshima High School enters the best 8--!

---page 29---

[] In the first half, both sides failed to score, but not long after the second half started, Shounan University Affiliated robbed the first point.

[] Everyone thought that the match was set, but 27 minutes into the second half, the ace Araki's middle shoot burst!

[] 4 minutes after equalizing the score, the brilliant one touch play connected the ball to 1st year forward Aizawa Kakeru's heel.

[] At this time when Hibino, one of the "Four Arrows", came to stand in the way,

---page 30---

[] Aizawa's final weapon, the "Phi Trick" appeared,

[] and Hibino was completely broken through!

[] Followed by a reversal goal! It truly was a splendid reversal play!

[] Our Enoshima High School--!

---page 31---

"" ...Well then, it's our turn.

"" Kickoff starts in 30 minutes! Begin warmups!
"" Got it!

---page 32---

"" Next up is Kama Acad, let's see what they're made of.
"" Asuka-san, don't we need to take note of their opponent Hakusan?

"" For the High School soccer prefectural preliminaries, there wasn't much change in the evaluation before and after the matches.
"" In other words, our opponents in the semifinals will be Kama Acad, huh.

"" You can say so, Onimaru.

"" Unless...something unexpected happens.

---page 33---

"" The 1st round of the whole Kanagawa Prefectural preliminaries match between Enoshima High School and Shounan University Affiliated High School is 2 v 1, // Enoshima High School's victory!
"" Thank you very much!
"" Much-!

---page 34---

"" You did it!
"" Hibino!

"" As I thought, you really are an amazing fellow.
"" I thought I had already put in enough effort, but it looks like it wasn't enough.

"" ...Is your foot alright?

"" I didn't come here to get your looks of pity, you know!
"" Wah! It hurts!

"" It's true that it hasn't recovered completely, // but it's thanks to my knee being destroyed that I can learn the Canon Freekick.
"" I'm the kind of "bring it on" guy that goes through thorough training for the sake of making up for the torn ligament with my armor of muscle.

"" ...say, do you still remember those words I said in the park back then, Hibino?
"" Ah?

---page 35---

"" You were angry about me was saying that I understood how you felt so simply...

"" Ahh about that, with your serious play today...
"" I wasn't trying to say that I was slighting your efforts, that wasn't what I meant.

"" I still want to chat with you after all.
"" That's why, will you come to that park tonight?

"" ...Ahh,
"" that's fine.

"" Later!

---page 36---

"" You did it! You looked a little cool there!
"" Isn't that to be expected?
"" Good job. (Otsukaresama)

"" Laugh more!
"" Uwah!

"" Phi trick's fine too.
"" Yeah, it sounds a bit like a finishing move.

"" Yay!
"" How can we lose to those purposely foul-creating people aiming for the free kick!

"" Ugh!

"" ...Seriously, this is why you're a dude without delicacy...
[] As I thought, I...I definitely can't be friends with this guy...
TLN: get along works too, but 'be friends' seem to be the exact word used.

---page 37---

"" ...I have nothing to say,
"" you guys did well.

"" ...you did
"" ...your best...

---page 38---

"" Coach Asou...

"" We'll being our last reflection session later, // you guys head back to school first.

"" Last?
"" What does he mean?

---page 39---

"" Hey Kakeru, you're watching Kamakura High's match right?
"" Of course!

"" I'm looking forward to it, Saeki-kun's going to play.
"" It'd be great if that bastard Nishijima doesn't come out.

"" Thank you very much for today, Coach Iwaki.
"" No, it's the same for us.

"" Are you going to watch the next match?
"" Yes, I was planning on it but...
"" Then before the match starts, can you spare me 10 minutes, no 5 minutes?

"" Sure, I have some things to talk to you about as well.
"" Is that so-

---page 40---

"" I have no excuse.
"" Huh?

"" The things that those players did.
"" Purposely creating a foul as though they had gone through a stimulation before... // That isn't the kind of conduct a sportsman should have.

"" I did not instruct them properly.
"" It is my fault as coach.

"" No...Honestly, it might be a little disrespectful for me to say this, // but that is Coach Asou's instructions... isn't that right?
"" I also realized it in this last match.

"" It was at the time of those fouls before we first scored.

---page 41---

"" It's true that I had much hopes in Hibino's free kick and was specially training him for that.
"" But I don't remember instructing the players to practice such a style of purposely obtaining free kicks.

"" Just that...I think I was
"" the one responsible for it.

"" Ever since Hibino joined,
"" whoever gets a foul near the goal,

"" would make me anticipate scoring with a free kick,
"" and become delighted straight away.

---page 42---

"" Because we have always fell behind due to the lack of a way to score,
"" it resulted in me unable to hold back the delight at the thought of scoring.

"" Perhaps because they all saw my attitude,

"" that's why everyone practiced
"" such a play in secret...

"" Coach Asou...

"" I decided to quit being a coach after this match.
"" Eh?

---page 43---

"" My health has never been good, and my doctor has told me to stop,
"" there was nothing that could have been done about it.

"" But the students must've thought that if they could produce results, then I won't have to resign,
"" and ever since I told them, their eyes changed.

"" So that's how it is...Sorry, I've misunderstood you...
"" No, you did not misunderstand. It's the truth that they did such a thing.

"" I just wish to tell you one thing.
"" They did not do it for themselves, they did it for me... // that's why they went against their own beliefs and played that way...

"" Please be understanding.
"" Isn't it fine already, Coach Asou?

---page 44---

"" They had a good fight,
"" isn't that fine already?

"" Thank you Very much, Coach Iwaki.

"" Enoshima High is an amazing team.

"" ...yes, but this is only the beginning.

"" They are...still high school students.

---page 45 + 46---

"" This is only

"" the beginning.

"" Coach Iwaki! The 2nd match is starting!
"" I'm coming now!

---page 47---

[] Kama Acad has come out!
"" Show us a great match!

"" Ka-ma Acad!
"" Ka-ma Acad!
"" Ka-ma Acad!
