Part 2
After the game with the baseball team, I was taken to the soccer field, where the soccer team was waiting for me. As if they had already heard the story, just like the baseball team,
Now were going to have a penalty kick showdown!
The penalty shootout was a three-round game, with me and one of the soccer players going head-to-head, each taking turns as keeper, with the winner scoring the most goals.
And, of course, the ace student of the soccer team came to the fore.
Heh! Dont get carried away just because you beat the baseball team, okay? Youre done here!
With these words, we began our showdown.
I was the first to kick the ball as the attacker, but as I watched the opposing goalkeeper, I somehow understood where the keepers attention was focused. This sense, too, must have been acquired through various battles.
And by using the Weakness Detection skill, I can aim my shot at the point where the opponent is weak and make a more reliable decision.
Remembering my training with Master Usagi, I kicked the ball.
The ball flew in the direction the keeper was most concerned about.
Heh! I knew youd come there!
As soon as the keeper turned his body in that direction, as if he had been waiting for it, the ball took an unbelievable arc and changed course to the point that the keeper had been most afraid of.
And just like that, the ball rattled the goal net.
What!?
It was a spur-of-the-moment performance, but the ball moved just as I had imagined thanks to the physical control I had acquired through my various experiences.
I-it was a fluke! Ill score next anyway!
We switched sides, and as soon as I was set up as keeper, the other player kicked the ball as hard as he could.
However, I could guess which course the ball was going to take from the movement of his body and the way he looked at me, so I easily succeeded in blocking his shot.
N-no way
After that, all my shots scored, and all my opponents shots were blocked, so my victory was confirmed.
I felt bad for my opponent, but I couldnt lose for the honor of Ousei Academy either.
However, now that I had won this way, Kamiyama-san would have no complaints.
L-let me go home this time
N-not yeeetttt!
Eeeehhh!?
Kamiyama-san still did not accept defeat, and after that, I was forced to face off against various other sports clubs.
But in every match, I continued to fight using the experience I gained in the other world, I was finally able to defeat all the sports clubs.
N-no way this cant be possible
N-now, youre not complaining about me being at Ousei Academy, are you?
As I was inwardly freaking out about what I would do if I were told it wasnt over yet, Kamiyama-san raised her voice again as if she had just thought of something.
T-thats right! The battle up to this point has only been a contest of physical ability! However, since the main task of a student is to study, dont you think the best way to do that is to compete in a contest of academic ability?
Eehh!
Dont tell me that we will compete in studies this time?
Y-yes.
We are currently preparing for the school festival as well. And you know what? The dates of this years school festival are the same as those of Ousei Academy How about we have a school festival competition?
A school festival competition?
Yes. We will start advertising at the same time and compete to see who has more visitors on the day of the festival. If Ousei Academy wins this match, we will recognize the appeal of Ousei Academy and give up asking Yuuya-san to transfer to our school. However, if we win, Yuuya-san will be handed over to us.
What?
Very well.
Kaori?
I look at her, not expecting Kaori to accept it.
Then Kamiyama-san smiled fearlessly.
Fufu Then, the negotiations were concluded. Im looking forward to seeing the outcome of the match.
And so, with the school festival competition decided, we left the Nittei Academy.
On the way home from Nittei Gakuen.
Kaori got in her car, and I joined her for a ride home.
There, I asked Kaori.
Um why did you accept that match? It all started because I couldnt say no firmly enough, but
I thought that Kamiyama-san had a point.
Eh?
Kaori looked a little anxious.
I believe that Yuuya-san is a more amazing person than you think you are. Of course, my father and I want Yuuya-san to be free to do what he wants to do. However, as Kamiyama-san said, I also feel that Yuuya-san is not making the most of your overflowing talent
Thats
To be honest, I dont know if Im that great or not.
After all, I was lucky enough to find the [Doorway to Another World], where I inherited the legacy of Sage-san and became the person I am today.
None of this is my power; its just something I got by chance.
Thats why its not something that Kaori has to worry about, whether I make use of my power or not.
Kaori.
Eh?
Im not the grand person everyone thinks I am. But thanks to Kaori, Im really enjoying my school life right now. I never thought Id be able to have so much fun in high school, so thats why, for me, its not about what I can do; its more important to be able to spend time with everyone!
Yuuya-san
I told Kaori not to worry about weird stuff for me or anyone else, but this is how I really feel.
W-well, anyway, Kamiyama-san was pretty pushy, too, and if that school festival competition makes her give up on this one, then I guess thats okay?
Yes, thats right Sorry, I was just being a little weak-minded.
Kaori tightened her expression and smiled again.
Still, I am very glad to hear you say so, Yuuya-san!
I am really grateful to you for inviting me to Ousei Academy at that time, too.
We thanked each other and laughed at each other because we thought it was so funny.
To be honest, I dont know how the school festival will turn out, but I hope to have a good time with everyone before the competition.
