The situation still awkward, the goal keeper used her hand to throw the soccer ball toward Ayame.

Korone, who threw the ball, show her immense shoulder strength—despite this soccer field was around the same size as the soccer field in Kuro's world—she threw over the ball, crossing the half line.

Ayame couldn't keep watching this situation unfolds quietly, started being active and she took the ball despite the 5m distances between the ball and earth. With the master-class trapping skill she learned instantly from Kuro, the ball suddenly went quiet within Ayame's leg.

Afterward, the ball and the Oni fell at the same speed, undisrupted by nothing.

Okayu, who stood up, aimed for this exact moment where they fall to the ground, and swung her leg, as to steal the ball from Ayame. However, Ayame's ears twitched.

Her ears heard the sounds of 'things' moving. The legs. The winds being moved with each distances the leg travel and finally, the sounds of force travelling from Okayu's feet beneath, and leg swinging. It's as if, she could 'see' where Okayu is, and kind of predict the trajectory of where the feet travel.

With a weak tap, she lifted the ball slightly, Okayu's feet just barely passing between the ball. Itkd as if the ball had a conscious and dodged Okayu.

Confirming that the ball was untouched, Ayame, with her another feet, she kicked the soccer ball once again—while using her cheat called double jump, she closed the distances between goal and her.

"Unfair~…" a tired lazy yet, frustrated voices came from behind the Oni, but she decided to focus on front. Once again, it was a one on one match.

Both Ayame and the soccer ball still in aerial, she faced Kuro, who was observing at her, deeply focused on what she's trying to do, what she will do.

'Left!' From Ayame's body motion, he figured out that the ball will launch to left. As that, he risked it and moved before the ball was actually launched, as, even that will be late for him. Unless he do this, he can't reach it.

But he was wrong. Ayame was indeed, kicking with her right leg, and her 'shoot' actually seemed to launch the ball toward left. But her 'shoot' with right leg, only lifted up the ball slightly, creating a delay, also ruining Kuro's prediction.

Even Kuro, couldn't help but widening his eyes out of thunderstruck. Hence, he smiled. "You've grown up." as he saw the Oni 'really shoot' with her left leg, toward the right, exactly opposite direction where Kuro jumped to block.

Like a coach, he appreciated the growth this individual beings called Nakiri Ayame had. Even in his past world, this type of technique was only seen in Manga. 'Well first of all, this has already surpassed the level of national soccer, since when she was able to double-jump.'

Seeing the ball, launching toward the opposite direction he made a sound with his finger, while also making an blue orb in front of him. Flickering that blue orb, it flew toward the ball, at a speed faster than the ball was flying.

If Kuro still had his 'amazing' mana control, he would have just made a 'wall' to divert the force in the ball to make the ball 'bounce' toward him but as he was right now, he couldn't do it. First of all, the speed of his mana to construct a wall wasn't enough for the current him. Second, as him right now, he wasn't confident if he could make a wall in the place he want exactly, a shape of wall he want exactly.

So, he had to resort to this method—nevertheless, it was rather effective—although the mana was much lighter than the soccer ball, the acceleration behind he mana orb made up for it.

The soccer ball changed it direction, and ricocheted toward the big tree, and once again, it bounced. Although different from the area Kuro intended to bounces the ball, it was doable as he was able to prevent Ayame from scoring the goal.

However, it was bad as the Oni still haven't given up from making a goal. Once she reached the ground, she kicked the ground, and jumped toward the ball.

Ayame wasn't the only person who was growing up. Okayu, was growing up, as well. With the ball still hovered in the air, she took the ball, 'as if gripping it.' The ball as if sticking in her leg, dragged the ball, and made Ayame's launch pointless, as it missed from the ball, not even touching it.

Even Ayame, couldn't stop herself suddenly from her serious jump. "Nice! Okayu!"

"Yatta~ (hurray) I've been praised from Kuro…" a lazy voice sounded out, as she looked her surrounding. Korone's eyes was bloodlust, Ayame recovered from her fall and trying to steal he ball… 'huh?'

Okayu couldn't help but be surprised to find that her goal is empty. Kuro who was supposed to be there, wasn't there. And no one seemed to notices it. It's as if, Kuro erased his presences and he wasn't in the opponent's brain's conscious. Not even Korone whose eyes filled with bloodlust, noticed.

Okayu shrugged inwardly. Although even now, she don't know Kuro's position, the trust in him ws rather huge—although Ayame recovered from the fall, her 'focuses' was only on the ball—Okayu who suffered huge from that, was aware of how easy it was to trick a person whose mind only on the ball.

Okayu taking the attention of all person in this soccer field, kicked the ball… or what it seemed. Although her feet 'kicked' the ball, that 'feet' turned into a mist, as it delivered 0 forces to the ball. Instead, she dragged the ball backward.

At the same time, Ayame who was tricked, once again missed the ball by hair-width. Inside Ayame, she felt the sense of 'déja vu' and calmed herself down and decides to rely on her ears more this time.

Somersault midst the air, she kicked the air, and once again launching toward the ball. However, Okayu was not flinched as she calmly observes the situation… 'oh there he is~…

Okayu spotted Kuro's position, but before that, she have to deal with the current situation.

[Copycat]

Okayu's cat eyes blinked once as she smiled coldly. Imitating the godly ball control Ayame had from before, she lifted the ball upward, while also dodging Ayame's 'sliding'

At the same time, Okayu's leg once again kicked the ball upward—while kicking the air, double-jumping mid-air.

Okayu's body high above the air, she followed the ball she just launched. "Persistent…"

Okayu knitted her brows out of discomfort as she saw Ayame following her up the air. Ayame's body slightly reddened, her speed surpassed from what she emitted before. However that wasn't much of a problem.

Mid-air, she kicked the ball, toward the 'empty area' until then, Ayame noticed something weird. Her ears twitched. "Don't tell me!"

The suspicion turned to confirmation once she looked at the empty goal. However, when she noticed it, it was too late. Kuro's leg lifted high up in the air, while his head was facing the ground.

""Once again…"" Kuro and Okayu said at the same time.

""Black Cat Meteor."" This time although, the black trail was 'actually' being emitted from the soccer ball as it was launched to the goal at…, rather slow speed.

Korone thought it was an easy guard as she jumped to the area where the ball was launched. However, just before her arm blocked the soccer ball, the ball 'dropped' at the same time, as if it had conscious and dodged Korone's arm.

Kuro who confirmed the goal, stood up from the ground and slowly walked toward Okayu before, high-fiving her.
