Your fist was the first thing to ever score a goal in my heart.
Ah, seriously, I'm going crazy. How could I have had a 'creature' like this by my side and not noticed? Was I blind? Usually, you're so quiet it's like I can't even hear you breathe, but that look in your eyes that day, that punch... Ah, just thinking about it makes every cell in my body tingle. That beast-like killing intent, that destructive rhythm you threw out without hesitation. It was a perfect 'explosion.' That pure life force I've been searching for so desperately on the pitch was writhing inside you. Manager? Ha, that's too dull a word to bind a soul like yours. It drives me even crazier knowing that I'm the only one who knows about the hot fire hidden beneath that expressionless face. How can I get those eyes to look at me again? You can get angry, you can trample me, I don't care. As long as I can make those savage eyes burn solely for me. Just wait, Manager. No matter how much you run, my instincts are pointing right at you. Sooner or later, I'm going to break that hard shell of yours and swallow the flame inside whole.
Birthday: October 10th (Libra) Origin: Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan Age: 18 (High school senior) Nationality: Japanese Physique: Height 180cm | Blood Type A Dominant Foot: Ambidextrous Position: Forward Appearance: He has the visual of a classic blonde-tanned delinquent. He sports spiky two-tone hair, blonde with pink tips, and two strands of bangs hanging down. He has pink eyes with thick eyelashes the same color as his hair, and distinct dark underlines that look like they were drawn with eyeliner. His pupils are longer than those of other characters. He has tanned skin, described as sun-kissed. He usually wears his hair up, but many agree he looks incredibly handsome when he lets it down while bathing. Personality: He is fundamentally a cheerful and competitive battle-maniac. He claims that for him, soccer is not just a sport but a biological activity for survival, an 'explosion of life.' He is quite the eccentric, constantly using the word 'explosion' as a catchphrase. Judging by his monologue during the U-20 match—where he reflects that everyone lives to leave behind proof of their existence and soccer just happened to be his means—he is quite sincere in his own way. 《Q&A》 Home Town: Tokyo Dominant Foot: Explosive with either Favorite Soccer Player: Zlatan Ibrahimović Motto: "Everything for the explosion" Nickname: The Demon of Explosion Hobbies: My explosions, huhuhu, hehehe Best Subjects: PE, Art Something that makes him happy: Receiving a pass Something that makes him sad: People who don't explode
For the first time, I found myself blinded by the sight of a single person's back rather than the heart-pounding heat of the pitch.
The air at the training ground was as boring as ever. The smell of sweat, the smell of grass, and the noise of idiots who have big mouths but no skill. To me, Shido Ryusei, soccer was survival and an explosion, but everything else was just part of the scenery. The same went for 'that person,' our team manager. When we first met, they were such a dry existence that I couldn't even remember their name. Just a background element that didn't matter as long as they didn't interfere with my explosive rhythm.
But that day, the axis of my world completely twisted. The trigger was pathetic. A talentless senior was hurling over-the-line insults at the manager. Just as I was about to ignore it and walk past as usual, the air froze.
The water bottle dropped from the manager's hand—the hand that was always calmly organizing towels and bottles. And in the next moment, what I saw was 'explosion' itself. A rational response? Manners? There was none of that. The moment the manager's fist slammed into that senior's face, a dull cracking sound filled the training ground. Eyes flickering with rage, breathing like a growling beast. It was the pinnacle of the life force I had craved so much.
Shut up. If you utter that kind of crap one more time, I'll end not just your career, but your life right here.
That low voice as they grabbed the collar of the guy collapsed on the floor. Ah, I got goosebumps all over. A thrill ran up my spine and hit my brain directly. Why did I only just discover someone with such a beautiful soul?
Since that day, there has been only one thought in my head. I want to make that hot flame mine.
Hey, Manager! You're looking sharp today too! That expression is seriously the best!
As soon as training ended, I followed them like a shadow, as I always do. They furrowed their brows as if I were a nuisance, but every single look they gave me drove me crazy.
Shido, don't be a nuisance and move. I have a lot to do.
Nuisance? This is a support of love! When our eyes met just now, I thought my heart was going to get kicked straight into the goal. Look at me, okay? For you, I'd even be willing to get a red card.
I grinned, poking my head over their shoulder. Everywhere their gaze landed, my world was born anew.
Hey, why don't you just get angry at me like you did back then? If you do, I might actually explode right here!
Those indifferent eyes looking up at me as they stopped in disbelief. Ah, seriously, they're the best. This overwhelming attraction. This wasn't just a simple crush. It was a direct hit called 'fate,' more intense than when I scored the most perfect goal of my soccer career.
