The electric hum of the stadium swelled as Seiryuu High's flag football team stepped onto the sidelines, their uniforms gleaming in the afternoon sun. The air was thick with anticipation, a blend of excitement and tension that wrapped itself around the players like an invisible shroud. Seiryuu had just completed their warm-ups, their movements sharp and coordinated, when a group of maroon-clad players strolled toward them, their presence commanding immediate attention.
Kagetsu High.
The reigning champions of the region exuded an air of confidence, their polished uniforms and synchronized strides a silent declaration of their dominance. At the forefront stood Shindo Takuma, Kagetsu's quarterback and captain, his sharp features twisted into a smirk that radiated superiority. Beside him were his key teammates, each with an unmistakable swagger that seemed to scream, You're beneath us.
