Chapter 25: Occult Junior
Isagi was leaving his home. Today was the football match between Raimon Junior High and Occult Junior High.
Isagi looked to his left and saw Otonashi leaving her home as well. Isagi narrowed his eyes and smirked mischievously.
He slowly walked towards her and arrived beside her. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"Good morning!!!" Isagi greeted her with a smile. Otonashi jumped and looked at him.
" I-isagi!! Where did you come from?" Otonashi asked with a blush on her face. Isagi pointed to his house.
"My house is over there." Isagi explained. Otonashi looked at his house and looked at hers.
"We're neighbors?!!!!
.
.
" I didn't even notice you lived beside my house! " Otonashi looked at him with a surprised face.
" Now we can walk to school together." Isagi smiled at her. Otonashi smiled but then she noticed something. Isagi's hand was wrapped around her shoulder.
"U-um.... Isagi?" Otonashi's face was red. Isagi looked at her.
"Yeah?" Isagi replied to her. Otonashi pointed to Isagi's right hand.
"People might misunderstand..." Otonashi told him. Isagi pulled his hand back.
"Sorry about that. I did that just now to surprise you." Isagi apologized.
" It's fine. Are you prepared for the match today? " Otonashi changed the subject skillfully.
"I can't wait to see their faces when we break their all powerful 'curse'." Isagi answered with a menacing grin on his face.
" Scary.... " Otonashi muttered to herself.
" Anyways. You're going to cheer for me right? " Isagi looked at her. Otonashi nodded and smiled.
" You're going to win, I believe in you! " Otonashi told him with a warm smile.
" Thank you. That means a lot." Isagi smiled back.
Just as they finished their conversation they arrived at school. They went straight to the club room.
Isagi opened the sliding door and saw Endou, Gouenji and Someoka already in there.
"Good morning! " Isagi greeted them with a smile.
"Good morning guys!" Otonashi greeted them as well.
"Good morning Isagi, Otonashi!" Endou replied with a big smile.
" You guys ready for the match? " Isagi asked them as he threw his school bag at the pile of school bags.
"Obviously. We trained for this. The only thing we have to watch out for is their curse. " Someoka grumbled as he put on his football shoes.
" You're uniform is over there Isagi. Number 10. Kino washed all of them last night." Endou pointed to the pile of folded clothes.
"Where is she?" Isagi asked him.
"She's changing her clothes in the restroom." Endou replied to him.
"Speaking of changing clothes..." Isagi looked at Otonashi who was still in the room.
"You want me to carry you to the toilet or what?" Isagi asked her with an amused look on his face. Otonashi blushed.
"I'll come back later!" Otonashi hastily grabbed her light green track suit and green shorts. She ran out of the room, not forgetting to close the sliding door.
"Rizzard of Oz right there." Someoka whispered to Gouenji who nodded in agreement.
"Where's the rest of the team?" Isagi asked Endou.
"Just got word that their almost here." Endou replied while checking his phone. Isagi took off his shirt to reveal a four pack.
"Damn!" Someoka shouted.
"You know... There's a gym near here that doesn't require a membership." Isagi told him. Someoka nodded.
"I'll have that in no time." Someoka mumbled.
'With Team Improvement of course you will.' Isagi thought to himself and changed his clothes into the collared jersey.
As the minutes passed by, the rest of the team arrived and they changed into their jerseys as well.
"Guys. I think I found something that you should all see. " Kabeyama raised his hand. Isagi looked at him.
" Show us, Kabeyama." Isagi told him. Kabeyama nodded and pulled out his phone. He played a video.
"Isn't that Occult Junior?" Kuritmatsu asked him. Kabeyama nodded.
"It has audio as well." Kabeyama added.
"Mare, mare, mare, to mare."
"What is he saying?" Endou muttered. But them he clapped his hands.
"Tomare!" He shouted. Everyone looked at him.
"Tomare means stop! That's the chant of the curse." Endou pointed at the video. He looked at Kabeyama.
" Where did you get this? " Endou asked him.
"Google. " Kabeyama answered with a sheepish grin. Isagi chuckled.
"Nice job Kabeyama. This helps a lot. Now we just need to counter it. Who here loves solving riddles?" Isagi asked. Endou raised his hand.
"I may not look like it but I'm a master at solving puzzles and Rubik's cubes." Endou smiled at them.
" Then we'll leave that to you, captain." Shourinji told him. Endou nodded. The sliding door opened to reveal Kino in her orange tracksuit with long orange pants. Otonashi was behind her.
"You guys should warm up first. We don't want injuries while playing. The footballs are already outside." Kino told them. Isagi stood up.
" Alright, let's go. " Isagi told them. Kino and Otonashi moved out of the way to let the team exit the clubroom.
"Otonashi-chan...." Isagi arrived in front of her. He took out his phone and gave it to her. Otonashi sighed.
"I'll treat you to some noodles at Rairaiken later. You can come as well, Kino. " Isagi looked at the dark green haired manager.
" If we win, I'll consider it." Kino smirked at him. Isagi chuckled. Otonashi giggled and grabbed Isagi's phone.
"Same thing as last time right?" She asked him. Isagi nodded.
They went to the football field. Isagi ran to the field while Kino and Otonashi arrived at the bench.
" Isagi! " Someoka shouted and passed the ball towards Isagi. Isagi smirked.
*BOOOOOM!!!!*
Isagi kicked the ball towards Endou. His kick created an explosion-like sound effect, he didn't even use his Hissatsu.
Endou narrowed his eyes.
"Nekketsu Punch!!!!" Endou's fist became bright red and he punched the ball.
" Argh!! " Endou grunted as he flew back to the net. The ball went into the goal with him.
" Nice kick, Isagi! " Endou laughed and gave him a thumbs up.
" Is that a new move, Endou?! " Isagi asked him with a grin of his own.
" Yeah! I expected the ball to fly back to you, not make me fly back. " Endou got up and patted the dust on his shirt.
"Yeah about that. You have a lot of work to do after this." Isagi replied.
"Hey guys!! They're here! " Kuritmatsu shouted.
Isagi turned to look at the school gates and saw a team wearing purple jerseys walking into the field.
"Wait is that Naruto???
