Morning, going to school, Nejire was running to the school with Ichika following behind her.
"Ahhh! I'm gonna be late! This is your fault, Ichika-kun! My record!"
"Why is it my fault? You shouldn't wait for me because my practice game will be at noon."
"I can't leave you at home or my parents will find out that a boy stayed for the night at my home. They will scold me!"
Nejire's face was red, remembering that she slept with him in the living room.
Ichika has no choice but grabbed her hand and use that ability.
"Then follow me!"
"Eh?"
Nejire became flustered when Ichika dragged her to a street with no people around.
"Where are we going?!"
"We're using a shortcut, Senpai."
Ichika wrapped his arms around her body which was obvious that he was hugging her.
"Ichika-kun! What are you doing?!"
"Hold on!"
Nejire was beating so fast that her whole face turned red and she can't take her new feelings,
"Waaaa..."
Ichika used the space stone in his pocket and summoned a wormhole which swallowed them in an instant.
"Huh?"
Before Nejire noticed, they were already at the back of the gym which is near the restroom.
Ichika let go of her as Nejire looked around in amazement.
"How did you do that, Ichika-kun? Was that your quirk?"
"Trade secret."
Nejire frowned at him and pouted,
"What a meanie guy."
"I'll tell you someday but not for now. You should hurry up or you'll be late in your class."
"Fine... See ya, Ichika-kun!"
Ichika just waved his hand at her as she left to the building. He's looking around for something to do.
"Okay, what am I gonna do today before the practice game."
---
When noon finally arrives, Nejire was watching on the sideline while cheering for Ichika who was in the middle of the football field, wearing a soccer uniform. He was a starter this time.
"I know you can do this, Yagi-san! Our opponent this time was too much for us that we need you join our team!"
Ichika looks bored and yawned,
"Do you guys even need me? It's just a practice match."
"But our school never won against them even once! We really need you to break the curse."
"I see... Fine!"
Ichika wants to tell them that he himself was cursed.
The referee whistled for the kick-off at the start of the game and Ichika charged forward and swiftly kicked the ball before the opponents was able to approach.
"Huh?"
The ball went straight to the goal without the opponent's goalkeeper noticing.
"What?"
They were stunned by the sudden scoring.
"Goal!"
Ichika was approached by his teammates and they celebrated together.
On the sideline was Nejire who was surprised by him. Her cheek twitched seeing Ichika scoring quickly just after the game starts.
"Don't tell me."
When the game ends, the score was too one-sided that it can't be called a match.
"Winner! Tokyo Junior High!"
|Tokyo [21 - 0] Akita|
The opponents dejected walking back to their benches while Ichika returned back without any sweat.
Nejire gave him a towel and bottle of water,
"Ichika-kun, that was too much."
"Well, I want to end the game quickly."
Ichika gulped the water in the bottle.
"What are you playing next?"
"Baseball. I still have to catch up at their game."
---
In the baseball field, Ichika was the next batter and game was very intense.
The pitcher positioned of his cap then he threw ball very fast.
In Ichika's eyes, the ball was slow and he swung the bat.
*Clunng!*
The ball was struck and launched it into the sky.
"Homerun!"
When Ichika hit the ball hard, he jogged around the base without any worry of his opponent.
"Winner! Tokyo Junior High!"
Tokyo - 0 0 0 0 1 2 3 3 3 3
Akita - 1 0 0 2 3 2 1 0 0 0
He arrived in the game on time and carried the rest of the round.
"Next!"
---
His next match was on Tennis club, in the court, Ichika was white tennis outfit and he was swinging around the rocket.
Nejire was on the sideline, speaking with him.
"Ichika-kun, even Tennis..."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. At least I know the rules of the game."
"You haven't played the game, didn't you?"
"Yeah, this will be my very first match."
It was Ichika turn to serve the ball and his opponent became wary of his moves.
Ichika launched the ball vertically then he swung the rocket hard.
"Huh?"
The ball just fell on the ground.
There was an awkward silence on the court.
His opponent looks disappointed, seeing him unable to serve the ball until the ball suddenly turned into small pieces and everyone in the court widened their eyes in shock.
Ichika became dejected, picking up the small pieces of the ball.
"This is why Kacchan and Deku never let me play in any tennis match. The ball just disintegrated when I try to hit it with the rocket."
He took another ball to serve and his opponent had a bad feeling facing him in this match.
"Okay! This time. Don't hit hard!"
He controlled himself as he launched the ball upwards and hit it gently with a shout.
"Take this! Gentle... Shot!"
When his opponent prepared himself to receive, the ball suddenly blaze up and he immediately jumped away to avoid it.
"Hie!"
He looks really frightened when he sense the danger.
The ball hit the screen on his back and it pierced through it which gives him shivers.
"I give up!"
Ichika's opponent gave up and ran away from the match which made him winner by default in the practice game.
"Winner! Yagi Ichika!"
Ichika proudly smiled and gave a thumbs up at Nejire who's looking at him as someone ridiculous.
"That's not tennis anymore, you dummy!" she complained.
---
The next practice match was in the gym and Ichika was wearing kendo equipment.
"I'm really sorry, Kohai-kun! Our Captain just slipped down on the bus and broke his arm, and we can't find anyone to replace him! You're our only hope!"
A female member of Kendo club from his school keep bowing her head.
"But I only held a stick branch in my entire life. I don't have any sword skills or techniques for this match!"
"You'll be fine, Kohai-kun!"
She puts the headgear on his head.
"Remember! This is just a practice game. You don't have to win! Just try to block his attack with your bamboo sword."
"Eh..."
She gave him a bamboo sword and turned him around.
"If it's you, I know you can do it!"
"Seriously?"
"Go, Kohai-kun!"
The girl pushed him to the ring.
Nejire looks worried because this time, Ichika doesn't know anything about sport he entered in.
"Is he gonna be okay? The one he will facing is the heir of Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu, one of the remaining and oldest surviving school of Japan swordsmanship. He is a third year like me and the current Captain of the Kendo Club."
"Eh?" The girl was surprise and became nervous.
"You're not aware?"
"I didn't know! Kohai-kun is completely newbie in Kenjutsu! What are we going to do?!" The girl was panicking.
"Don't ask me. You're the one who requested him to join the practice match as a replacement."
"Aren't you worried of him?"
"I don't know but I had a feeling that Ichika-kun will pull something off on this match."
"Really? As expected from Kohai-kun's girlfriend."
Nejire's face blushes then she turned away.
"I'm not his girlfriend... I'm just his friend!" she responded with shy tone.
Ichika's opponent was trembling while facing him.
"So, it's you!"
"Huh?"
"You're the guy whom Nejire-chan hanging around lately! How unforgivable!"
Seems like Ichika was being despise.
"What's your problem, Senpai?"
"Just this morning, Nejire-chan was acting strange and she was smiling more lately. She just became more beautiful!"
"Okay?..."
"And I hate to admit it but the reason was you! I'm so envious that you can make her change her attitude like that!"
"Sure, thank you."
"I'm not praising you!"
The referee went between them.
"Ready? Start!"
His opponent raises his bamboo sword and attacked him.
"I'll destroy you! Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu---Arrgh!"
Ichika just simply swung his sword horizontally,
"You're chant is too long!" he retorted.
Their sword collided and his opponent was overwhelmed and got pushed away as he rolled in the canvas.
"This can't be happening--Ugh!"
He lost his consciousness.
"Winner! Yagi Ichika!"
They raised his arm.
