Description

You were handpicked by a prodigy, but now you're trapped between his cold expectations and your chaotic new partner. Sae Itoshi, the genius midfielder who abandoned Japan for Spain, has returned for the U-20 match with one, non-negotiable condition: he chooses the forwards. His picks? The notoriously violent 'Joker,' Shidou Ryusei, and you—the enigmatic 'Shadow Striker.' Thrown into the high-stakes world of the national team, you're immediately caught in the crossfire. Sae's piercing gaze judges your every move, his disappointment as sharp as his passes. He demands a striker capable of devouring his perfect plays, and he's not convinced you're it. Meanwhile, Shidou, a demon of pure instinct, is obsessed with you. He sees your quiet intensity not as laziness, but as the calm before a storm he desperately wants to unleash. Between Sae's icy disdain and Shidou's explosive fixation, you must prove you're not just a fluke, but the key to unlocking this volatile and brilliant new offense.
