Dancing with the Winds

Sweat was pouring, the roar of breathing that was increasingly disorganized and the body that could not be moved at all made Ryu, who was running out of stamina, became even more helpless after being hit by the opposing team's technique.

Without further ado the opposing team carried out operands like when they used a secret technique on Ryu as if one of their victims was not enough. Now they turned to Ren who was standing right in front of them preparing to block so that his opponent did not score.

"Ren be careful with their techniques, I don't know what they are doing but it looks like when you are in the middle of them you will be silent like Ryu," Gyo warned.

"Yes, I know, we should keep our distance from them," Ren replied.

Tomoi, who is now carrying the ball forward alone, but deftly Ren guarded it, making him inevitably have to pass the ball to Hibike who is behind him.

The underpowered operand from Tomoi made Ren take the opportunity to steal. With a little push from the wind around him, Ren was able to quickly reach the ball before reaching Hibike's hand.

"Sorry, I was too rushed to attack so we lost the ball," Tomoi said disappointed.

"It's okay, at least we can still handle it," Hibike said, giving code to Taki who was behind him to do a technique.

Ren who had gotten the ball now ran into the opponent's ring while doing drible in a hurry but it looks like neither Taki nor Hibike intends to guard it. Seeing the opportunity in front of his eyes made Ren take the initiative to shoot when the opponent's ring entered the range of his shot.

The ball bounced high and slowly fell towards the opponent's ring but suddenly a colorful light appeared on the front of the opponent's ring and when the ball touched the light, the ball seemed to be adrift in the light.

"Aurora Path"

Taki and Hibike's voices uttered a technique simultaneously. The ball that oscillates in the light slowly falls in and out of the field without even touching the ring.

"This is our defense technique which is a combination of the Taki haze technique and mine," Hibike said as he ran to get the ball and pass into the field.

The ball was once again dominated by Wolf's team who quickly made a triangular formation.

"Sorry, if only I could freely control my wind ability I would have scored a number earlier," said Ren disappointed.

"At least you tried your best," Gyo said encouragingly.

Team Wolf moved forward with its flagship formation and easily passed Ryu who was still unable to move.

"Damn, how long will it continue like this ?," said Ryu silently.

Ryu was annoyed at himself for only making a small contribution to his team mate and now he couldn't do anything because his body couldn't be moved.

"Ryu don't push yourself too much, at least we can still hold them," Ren said when he saw Ryu forced himself to move.

Ryu could only take a deep breath when he heard Ren's words but in his heart he was still upset because he couldn't do anything.

Team Wolf is still trying to break the strong defense from Ren and Gyo but Ren's wind ability makes it difficult for them to penetrate the opponent's defense.

"Looks like I have to do something with that person because his ability is very troublesome," Taki told himself.

"Tomoi let me be the spearhead," Taki shouted behind Tomoi.

Team Wolf rotates the formation which previously Tomoi was in front of and now Taki is replacing his position.

Ren who saw the change of position did not stay silent. Ren deftly blocked Taki who was carrying the ball so he could not advance any further.

"Looks like I have to paralyze you first, you better prepare yourself for this technique," Taki said.

After that Taki chanted a technique like the one that made Ren fall asleep but there was something different from this technique.

"Sleep in an illusion !!!," said Taki.

"Sleeping Mist Illution"

Instantly, the fog enveloped Ren's entire body and put him to sleep again before Ren could use his wind ability.

"Good Taki, with this we only need to fight the strange eye," Hibike said happily.

"It seems my guess is right, he just released the ability of the wind during this match and he still can not control that ability fully," said Taki explained.

With only Gyo left, Wolf's team plans something else to do.

"Because there is only that person left there is no harm if we play with him before scoring a large number," Hibike said with a sly smile.

On the other hand, Ren who was now asleep again entered into the illusion of dreams which made him feel like he was having a bad dream which made Ren move to and fro not clear while sleeping.

"Damn, what should I do? A little more my stamina runs out and they look like they don't intend to score but just want to play me," Gyo said silently.

Team Wolf passes the ball around and makes Gyo confused while guarding their ring so they don't concede.

Meanwhile, Ren who was sleeping in an illusion suddenly seemed to hear a voice calling his name. The very touching sound around him made Ren feel like he was nostalgic until finally he woke up and released the pressure of the wind that blew hard and flung the objects around him and even the ball in his opponent's hand was blown away because of the terrible wind pressure that threw the ball.

"Gyo catch the ball and pass it to me," Ren shouted.

Gyo quickly picked up a free falling ball on the pitch and passed it to Ren.

"W-what? How can he be released as soon as he is free from my technique?" Said Taki surprised.

"That's because the wind is my friend who always takes care of me," Ren said with a smile.

Ren who now gets the ball that Gyo passes makes a drible towards the opponent's ring that is not guarded. After arriving in front of the ring, Ren prepares to fire at the opponent's ring but the colorful light again shines in front of the ring.

"I won't let it go," Taki and Hibike shouted in unison while carrying out their defense techniques.

"Let's dance together again, friend," said Ren, jumping and being helped by the wind around him made Ren float high.

"Tornado Shoot"

Ren fired a shot at the ring from a height of 5 meters and the ball that headed towards the opponent's ring seemed to be in the middle of a whirlwind of a tornado that was spinning very fast. The ball was stopped in the light of his opponent's defense, but the light was like being sucked in a whirlpool so the ball freely entered the ring.

"With this the challenger team has scored 5 points in a row without being able to reply to the championship team," the commentator shouted excitedly.

"Ren is amazing, I didn't think you had that much ability," said Ryu who was now detached from the opponent's technique.

"Ha-ha-ha is nothing," Ren said arrogantly.

The game now continues again and as if not wanting to repeat the same mistake, Ryu returned to guard his opponent without standing in his opponent's triangle.

"You think this is just our technical ability?" said Tomoi.

"Let's show them the power of the champion," said Taki who was in front.

Suddenly Tomoi and Hibike ran forward and made Ryu and Ren in their technical area.

"Got hit by you guys"

"Paralyze"

Ren and Ryu are finally hit by an opponent's technique which makes them unable to move.

"With this you also cannot use that troublesome wind ability," Hibike said with satisfaction.

Inevitably Gyo who was still free to move tried to defend the ring from the opponent while trying to avoid the technique of the opponent's area.

With his Gold Eyes ability, he finally struggled to get the ball, but now Gyo is confused because his stamina has run out while stealing the ball.

A moment later Gyo felt a gust of wind around him that restored a little of his stamina. With confidence Gyo throws the ball behind Taki which makes Taki surprised.

"Where are you passing off from," Taki said underestimating.

Then Taki gets ready to catch the ball but finally falls silent because he is shocked by what he sees.

"Y-You ..."

Who did Taki really see?
