We arrived at Sea Serpent Stadium. As expected, there were a lot, and I mean A LOT of people. Multiply the crowd of the Football Frontier by 4. Yeah, that's how many people there are in the large crowd...

"We're completely away from home..." Kazemaru muttered.

"Tell me about it..." I muttered back.

I was getting the jitters at this point, then my jitters stopped when Hiroto had tapped me on the shoulder, saying that Endou was gonna say something.

"Guys, relax! Just go all out like we always do. Let's show the world how good we are!"

"Yeah!" All of us cheered before we ran into a line, us facing the team members. The referee did a coin toss, and we were going to have the first kickoff. When we got into our positions, I gulped nervously. 

"If Nozomi had a daughter, and she was chosen for the FFI, she'd have to back out."

No. I'm not backing out. I said to myself I'd avenge my mom, I will avenge my mom.

The whistle blew and Toramaru kicked it to Shuuya, who kicked it to Kidou as he, along with Hiroto, Shuuya, an Toramaru ran up. Kidou was about to be blocked but he managed to pass it to Toramaru. He was running up when a player was about to block him, but he kicked the ball to Shuuya but unfortunately the pass was intercepted. Dang so close...

Every time that we made near passes we'd get cut off or got stolen from. When of the players (A midfielder I think) kicked the ball, Jousuke and Edgar were already running for the ball. Edgar had got it first and kicked it to his teammate who kicked it to the goal. Thank God that Endou had caught it.

"Rena!" Endou kicked the ball to me, which I got and I kicked it to Kidou, who kicked it to Toramaru. He got past a defender and now the goal was wide open. There was a chance to score! 

"Stone Prison!"

A defender had used a technique that involved something like the stonehenge. He was running through but eventually he got blown away and the ball was right for him. He kicked it to Edgar and I know what's he going to do next...

"Take this! The holy knight's sword, Excalibur!"

"The Mountain!" 

Kabeyama tried blocking it but it went through. When Endou did "Ikari No Tetsui", the ball was saved. I sighed in relief...

Endou threw the ball to Jousuke who kicked to me, and I kicked it to Kazemaru who was already running forward with Shuuya and Toramaru. Then the weird thing happened...

Edgar raised his hand up, and his teammates were changing positions. Edgar and some others didn't even try stopping Shuuya and Toramaru from getting through. When Edgar lowed his hand, three players were running up. Kazemaru did, "Dance of the Wind God", and got through. But he was blocked by another player, in which he dodged but the ball was stolen from another player. Luckily Hiroto picked up the loose ball and ran forward. The same thing happened with him. Wait a minute, I know their tactic. By quickly and consecutively attacking the player in possession of the ball, they can block their path...

"This is our hissatsu tactics! Absolute Knights!"

Another player was running up with the ball, and he got past Jousuke and Tobitaka and he kicked the ball to Edgar. 

"Not on my watch!"

I did a sliding but he managed to avoid it. Again, Endou had caught the ball. Dang it. I didn't know the British were this good at playing soccer. Sure I know they play, but this good?!

"We won't lose!" Endou said. "We came here aiming to be the best in the world!"

"Best in the world?" Edgar mocked. 

"Yeah!" Endou said, picking up the ball and standing up. "That's why we won through the harsh Asia preliminaries!"

"It's impossible for you then." Edgar said.

"What?!" Endou had an angry tone.

"Do you guys really understand what it means to be the best in the world?!" Edgar asked furiously. "Endou, is this, 'best in the world', that you speak of something that only you claim to? All of the national teams who fight on the world stage, are trusted with the dreams of countless people from their countries. They cannot be betrayed. It's our duty as representatives to fight while shouldering those dreams."

'Our duty as representatives?' I thought curiously.

"We Knights of Queen fight with the pride of having been chosen. Since all you see is the pedestal before you, we could never lose to you!" Edgar said, or in my point of view, mocked. 

"Plus, only one of you has the chance to back out before they end up like Asuto Nozomi."

"Don't you even dare talk about my mother like that!" I shouted.

"Oh?" Edgar looked at me. "No wonder when I said you looked like her, you did. A shame that she had to disappear like that."

Edgar had went back to his position. I growled in anger. "Why I oughta----"

"Hey, it's their loss dude." Jousuke placed a hand on my shoulder. "They'll get what they deserve sooner or later."

"You're right." I sighed.

Soon they had control of the ball again, and they were attacking. A player had got past Kazemaru using his technique, "Ultra Moon". That player soon kicked it to his teammate, who kicked it to... Edgar? Wait... if he kicked that to him then that means...

"Excalibur's power increases when it's far from the goal!" I said.

"What?!" Kidou and Hiroto looked at me with a serious expression. 

"Excalibur!"

"Shield of Achilles!" 

It was no use for that... It got through anyway. Kabeyama did his technique again but it went through, and when Endou used "Ikari No Tetsui" again, this time, it went through. Dang it! England got their first point!

"Kidou."

Coach Kudou had called him over and said something to him. Right after, he went back to the pitch, and called me and Kazemaru over. 

"E-Eh? Me?" I pointed at myself.

"Hey, this is your chance to show the world, right?" Kazemaru said.

"Yeah, and you're getting good and your dribbling. We'll be able to get past them." Kidou said.

I smiled a little. "You can count on me for that."

It was our kickoff again. Toramaru kicked it to Shuuya, who kicked it to Kazemaru, and me and Kidou ran forward. I was behind Kazemaru and Kidou was behind me. 

"Absolute Knights!"

The same players were going up again. Kazemaru got blocked but he kicked the ball to me, then I was blocked then I kicked the ball to Kidou, then when Kidou got blocked he kicked it to Kazemaru, then when he was blocked again he kicked it to me. A player was going to block me, but I got the best of him.

"Illusion Dribble!"

Haha, thanks Fudou Hokago, I needed that technique and I hope that Akio didn't recognize that... Aside from that, we broke down Absolute Knights! 

"Stone Pri---"

"Too slow! Shuuya!"

Shuuya had received the ball, and he was going to use, "Bakuretsu Screw", but Edgar had--- Wait, Edgar blocked it?! He came all the way from the offense line to the defense line?! 

"Kabeyama!"

We saw that Kabeyama was on the ground. He must've taken a lot of damage after blocking Excalibur twice. Coach Kudou had benched him, and placed Someoka in. 

Will this end well? Wait, no negative thoughts. We will end this by winning!
