The all-powerful middle schooler

Kaguya Shinomiya chatted with Yukino Yukinoshita for a while. Originally, she had other purposes, but as they talked, her curiosity got the better of her, and she asked a few more questions.

Clearly, compared to the other woman, she was the true sheltered young lady.

Time slips away unnoticed.

Let's have a passionate football match on September 91st!

"Ding~"

The end of the seminar was marked by the ringing of the school bell.

"That's it."

Hiratsuka Shizuka clapped her hands.

Many people stopped talking, still wanting more.

"I believe everyone now has a better understanding of the differences between schools, and realizes that the world is not just what you perceive it to be, right? I hope this exchange meeting has broadened everyone's horizons..."

Nanase Tsukumo then gave a speech on stage.

Thank you...

Then the students from Shuchiin and Sobu High stood up and politely expressed their gratitude to each other.

"Hasegawa-san, thank you for your help."

Yukino Yukinoshita came to his side to express her gratitude.

Although the other party did not offer any substantial help, the experience itself was already very valuable to the girl.

"Keep it up, young lady, you have great potential, I have high hopes for you... I hope you can keep up with us in the future."

Hasegawa Izumi gave the girl a thumbs up.

Your mindset determines your potential!

Although Yukinoshita may seem a bit green and inexperienced at the moment, this is only because she lacks experience. But once she grows up, she should be able to surprise people and transform into someone like her.

"Farewell."

Yukino Yukinoshita turned and left somewhat awkwardly.

"Hasegawa-san."

After leaving under the snow, another figure approached, its crimson eyes, filled with a dangerous intent, held a hint of coldness.

"Shinomiya-kun, thank you for your hard work."

The first thing Hasegawa Izumi said to her was to express his condolences.

After all, I had assigned more tasks to the other party.

"No...it's nothing. As the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, I should take this position for the sake of Shuchiin's reputation. I should thank Hasegawa-san for giving me this opportunity."

Kaguya Shinomiya's usually indifferent expression suddenly showed a hint of panic, but she quickly concealed it.

For the sake of Shuchiin's reputation?

Of course not, who cares about that kind of thing!

What she really wanted was to gain someone's approval.

However, he simply couldn't bring himself to say such a thing, since he hadn't even managed to say "thank you" back then.

They even looked down on others, causing some kind of misunderstanding.

'Why are you thanking me?'

Izumi Hasegawa tried hard to keep from laughing and remain serious.

"By the way, Hasegawa-san, are you going to participate in the friendly soccer match later?"

Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly remembered this.

"There is such a thing."

He thought about it for a moment.

Around noon, not only Haruhara, but the entire soccer team came to ask for help, so they simply agreed.

"Then I'll trouble you. Please don't go too far with your kicks, so as not to damage the harmony between Shuchiin and Sobu High School."

Kaguya Shinomiya recalls the scenes where she was previously dominated and worries that the past will repeat itself.

Not everyone can withstand such a blow as she did.

"Don't worry, this is different from the challenge. I don't plan to stand out. Actually, I have a strong sense of team spirit."

Hanase Izumi raised her right hand and pointed to herself.

"really?"

Kaguya Shinomiya was actually somewhat skeptical; in her view, the other party had been quite flamboyant throughout their journey.

"Alright, I should get ready now."

Hanase Izumi glanced at the time and then left.

The girl left behind was filled with conflicting emotions.

Normally, she'd be participating in club activities today, but she really wanted to watch this soccer match... so she decided to go anyway!

"Hasegawa-san is now representing our Shuchiin Academy in the competition, so as students of Shuchiin Academy, we should cheer her on!"

Soon, Kaguya Shinomiya clenched her fists and made up her mind.

At the same time, many other people were watching the game for the same reason.

"Sawamura-kun, are you going to the soccer field? Do you want to cheer for Hasegawa-kun?"

"I heard that Hasegawa-san is participating in the competition!"

Eriri was surrounded by many girls, who asked her questions all at once.

"Well, Izumi is representing Shuchiin Academy in the competition, and as a student of Shuchiin Academy, I should also have collective honor... Do you want to join too?"

She smiled as she greeted everyone.

"Yes, yes!"

The female fans exclaimed excitedly.

Football is arguably the most entertaining sport, and the fact that the player on the field is the King of Shuchiin University naturally causes a sensation among fans.

……

"Why are there so many people?"

"It's just a friendly match."

"Does Shuchiin University really value this match? I thought only the captain cared about winning it."

"Could it be because Shuchiin Academy places a lot of emphasis on sports clubs?"

Most of the members from the Zongwu High School football team had already changed into their team uniforms. When they arrived at the football field, they found that the number of people gathered around them was somewhat beyond their expectations, which made them wonder.

"Could it be because you're too handsome, Hayama?"

As the handsome blond boy walked in, a member of the soccer team joked.

"Don't joke around. I don't have that much influence. Besides, we're just nobody in the Xiuzhiyuan."

Hayato Hayama smiled and said in a very friendly manner.

"However, I do have a guess about this matter."

His eyes suddenly sharpened.

"What do you mean, Hayama?"

Everyone else looked over.

"The legendary king who has supposedly reached the pinnacle of Shuchiin Academy, Hasegawa, will be participating in this friendly match."

He said with a solemn expression.

"What? Is it that person?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you're not serious, are you?"

"Isn't this exactly what we wanted? Let's see if that guy is really as amazing as he claims."

"We have Hayama here, and the club president too. There's no way we can lose against the weakened Shuchiin!"

Everyone's expressions were different, but the pressure they were under was clearly evident.

"Rumors don't matter! All we need to do is win this game! I don't want to lose to those guys."

The muscular soccer club captain, Takayama Satoru, with a buzz cut, walked over, the soccer ball tucked under his armpit.

His voice was impassioned, and he gritted his teeth.

The reason is that in last year's national tournament, their Zongwu High School was eliminated by Shuchiin High School's soccer team, and he was seriously injured during the match due to the opponent's mistake.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to repay the other party, but he didn't expect to find that there were no old acquaintances on the other side after arriving here. That was the most infuriating thing.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourselves, just give it your all."

Hayato Hayama smiled and clapped his hands to lighten the mood within the team.

Meanwhile, the members of Shuchiin's soccer club warmed up while waiting.

"Sunohara, why don't you go find Hasegawa-kun? He might have forgotten the time."

A second-year student asked with some concern.

"No problem, I know Hasegawa-kun's character very well, we just need to trust him!"

Chunyuan gave a thumbs-up, grinned, and his white teeth gleamed in the sunlight.

"If it's Hasegawa-kun, we don't need to worry about being late. As long as we get serious, we can easily win. The only question is how many points we can win!"

Suddenly, a deep, resonant voice came from the side.

They turned around and saw that the square-faced boy with spiky hair was their captain, Hinata, who was currently the only capable player in their soccer team. The others were all quite ordinary.

"Hasegawa-san, I love you!"

"Good luck, Hanesegawa-san!"

"Hasegawa-san!!!"

Shortly after, a thunderous cheer erupted from outside the football field.

They've arrived!

Everyone inside the football field realized this and immediately looked towards the outside of the field.

After all the calls came out.

At the top of the steps, a spirited and dashing young man, dressed in a number 10 jersey, slowly walked up.

Under the sun, he stared straight ahead, as if he were staring at everyone present from a great distance.

An invisible pressure spread!

"This is their home turf, it seems we're the ones who will suffer this time."

Hayato Hayama felt a pang of anxiety. He looked at his companions and noticed that they were all more or less affected by the cheers from the crowd. He muttered a sigh to himself.

"This competition depends on your performance, Hasegawa-kun! We'll do our best to cooperate with you."

"If you have any requests, please feel free to make them!"

"This is my first time competing with legendary people, just thinking about it gets me excited!"

When Izumi Hasegawa walked onto the court, all of our team members surrounded him, all of them very enthusiastic and full of confidence, with no one doubting his abilities.

Even before today, these people had never seen him play football.

This must be what's known as the celebrity effect, right?

"Don't worry, leave it to me, we..."

"It will win."
