Gods of Football

Chapter 4: Intense Matches



The Kuroko no Basket team llined up with Kagami leading the charge alongside Kuroko, Aomine, Kise, Akashi, Midorima, and Himuro on the field. Meanwhile, their substitutes—Teppei, Murasakibara, and Kotaro—watched intently from the sidelines.

On the opposing side, Blue Lock's fiery lineup was spearheaded by Isagi, Rin, Bachira, Nagi, Reo, and Aiku, with Shidou, Lorenzo, and Gin ready to sub in when needed. Their contrasting strategies immediately set the tone for the match, with Blue Lock's raw individual talent clashing against Kuroko no Basket's extraordinary cohesion.

The whistle blew, and the game started with Blue Lock in possession. Bachira wasted no time dribbling a dizzying display of skill and unpredictability. He weaved between Himuro and Aomine, his laughter ringing out as he flicked the ball over Aomine's attempted tackle.

"You're too slow!" Bachira teased, twisting his body mid-air to redirect the ball forward.

Aomine recovered quickly, his speed matching Bachira's as he sprinted after him. "Too slow? Don't get cocky, kid." Aomine lunged in with precision, using his body to shield the ball and regain possession.

Kuroko appeared silently behind Aomine, his soft voice cutting through the tension. "I'm here."

Without turning, Aomine passed the ball backward, trusting Kuroko's instincts. The ball disappeared for a moment as Kuroko's misdirection made it seem like it had vanished entirely.

"What the hell?" Isagi muttered, his eyes darting around.

The ball reappeared in Kise's possession, his aura confident as he advanced down the field. "Let's see how you handle this."

Kise activated his Perfect Copy, seamlessly mimicking Rin's sharp dribbling style as he danced past Reo and Aiku. Reo cursed under his breath.

"How's he so good?"

Aiku stepped up to block Kise, but Midorima intercepted the ball with a clean pass. Positioned near the halfway line, Midorima didn't hesitate.

"This is my range."

He launched a thunderous long shot, the ball soaring high into the air. Gin, Blue Lock's keeper, braced himself, his sharp eyes following the ball's trajectory.

"Not a chance," Gin muttered, leaping into the air with his arms fully extended. His fingertips brushed the ball, deflecting it onto the crossbar.

Nagi, who had been lingering near the midfield, reacted instantly to the rebound. "That was close." With a single fluid motion, he controlled the ball and flicked it over Kuroko's head before sprinting toward the opposing goal.

"Stop him!" Akashi commanded, his Emperor Eye already predicting Nagi's next moves. Akashi moved into position, cutting off Nagi's angle.

"You're predictable."

Nagi's expression didn't change as he shifted the ball with an elegant touch, bypassing Akashi's block. Rin caught the loose ball and took aim, unleashing a powerful strike toward the top corner.

"Game over," Rin said coldly.

Kagami leaped high, his remarkable vertical jump allowing him to head the ball clear of the goal. The rebound fell to Himuro, who passed it quickly to Kuroko.

Kuroko's misdirection drew Rin out of position as he sent the ball forward to Kagami. Sprinting past Bachira, Kagami found himself one-on-one with Gin.

"Time to finish this," Kagami muttered, his eyes glowing with intensity. He unleashed a Meteor Jam-like shot, a combination of raw power and precision.

Gin dove for it, his gloves grazing the ball but unable to stop its momentum as it slammed into the back of the net.

The whistle blew.

Kuroko no Basket's team regrouped, exchanging nods and brief words of encouragement. Kagami smirked, glancing over at Rin.

"You guys are tough, but we're just getting started."

Rin's eyes narrowed. "Same here."

The score stood at 1-0.

The game resumed with Blue Lock determined to equalize. Rin stood over the ball for the kickoff, his icy gaze scanning the field.

"Nagi, Bachira—get into position. We're going all out."

Bachira grinned, practically bouncing on his feet. "Finally, let's have some fun!"

The ball was passed to Bachira, who immediately began his signature unpredictable dribbling. He twisted past Kuroko with a flick and spun around Himuro, his movements fluid and wild.

"You can't keep up, can you?" Bachira taunted, his footwork a blur.

Aomine intercepted, matching Bachira's speed step for step. "Keep dreaming."

Bachira smirked, flicking the ball over Aomine's head and sprinting past him. Before he could take another touch, Akashi appeared in his path.

"You rely too much on instinct," Akashi said calmly, his Emperor Eye locking onto Bachira's next move.

With precise timing, Akashi stole the ball, sending it downfield toward Kise. Kise received it effortlessly, his Perfect Copy already mimicking Bachira's chaotic style as he dribbled past Reo and Aiku.

"Let's see how you like this," Kise said, grinning as he juked past Lorenzo with a quick fake.

Lorenzo recovered quickly, his imposing frame cutting off Kise's angle. "You're not getting through me."

Before Lorenzo could tackle, Kise sent a pinpoint pass to Kagami, who was charging down the wing. Kagami's powerful strides carried him past Rin, his focus unshakable as he neared the box.

"I'm not done yet," Rin muttered, recovering quickly and sliding in for a clean tackle. The ball deflected toward Nagi, who calmly brought it under control with a single touch.

"This is boring," Nagi said flatly, flicking the ball over Midorima and sprinting past him.

Akashi stepped forward to intercept, but Nagi lobbed the ball into the air, where Shidou was waiting.

Shidou smirked, leaping high and twisting mid-air. "This is how you finish a play!"

With a spectacular bicycle kick, Shidou sent the ball hurtling toward the goal. Teppei, who had just been subbed in as Kuroko no Basket's keeper, dove with all his strength.

Teppei's gloves grazed the ball, but it wasn't enough. The net rippled as the ball struck home.

Shidou landed and pointed at the goal with a cocky grin. "Too easy."

Kagami clenched his fists. "Not for long."

The score was now tied at 1-1.

The next kickoff saw Akashi taking control. His Emperor Eye scanned the field as he directed his teammates with calm authority.

"Kagami, move forward. Kuroko, stay close."

Kuroko nodded silently, blending into the background as the ball moved toward Aomine. Aomine charged down the center, his speed and dribbling leaving defenders scrambling.

"You're not stopping me," Aomine said confidently, darting past Rin with a sharp turn.

Before he could take a shot, Lorenzo appeared in front of him. "Your speed doesn't scare me."

Aomine grinned. "Then how about this?"

With a lightning-quick spin, Aomine slipped around Lorenzo and unleashed a powerful shot. Gin dove instinctively, his hands barely managing to push the ball away.

The rebound fell to Kuroko, who redirected it with a subtle touch toward Kagami.

Kagami roared as he launched into the air. "Let's go!"

With a thunderous header, Kagami sent the ball crashing into the net.

The score shifted to 2-1 in favor of Kuroko no Basket.

Blue Lock regrouped quickly, their determination unshaken. Isagi gathered his teammates at midfield.

"Don't let them control the game. Play to win."

Rin nodded, his gaze intense. "This isn't over."

The game continued with both teams refusing to back down, the tension on the field growing with every play.

The game resumed with Blue Lock determined to turn the tide. Reo jogged off the pitch, his exhaustion visible, while Sae stepped in with a calm, composed demeanor. His presence immediately changed the atmosphere on the field.

"Let's clean this up," Sae said simply, his tone sharp and commanding.

Rin passed the ball to Sae, who took control effortlessly. His dribbling was smooth and calculated, his every movement deliberate. Sae advanced down the field, drawing Akashi toward him.

"You'll need more than precision to get through," Akashi said, his Emperor Eye locked on Sae.

Sae smirked faintly. "Precision is all I need."

With a perfectly timed feint, Sae sent Akashi off balance, slipping past him with ease. Kagami stepped in to block, but Sae chipped the ball into the air, bypassing the defense entirely.

The ball dropped toward Shidou, who was already mid-leap. "Time to shine!" Shidou roared, meeting the ball with a ferocious volley.

Teppei dove at full stretch, his fingers brushing the ball, but the power of Shidou's shot sent it into the net.

Shidou landed with a cocky laugh, pointing to Sae. "That's what happens when you've got me up front and him feeding me."

The score was tied again at 2-2.

Kuroko no Basket regrouped at midfield, their determination unshaken. Kuroko glanced at Akashi, who gave a subtle nod.

"I'll create the opening," Akashi said, his voice calm yet commanding.

The ball was passed to Himuro, who pushed forward with fluid dribbling. Aiku stepped up to block, but Himuro executed a sharp crossover, slipping past him and passing to Midorima.

Midorima stopped just past the halfway line, lining up another long shot.

"This is the one."

Midorima's powerful kick sent the ball soaring through the air, but Sae tracked its trajectory with ease. With a graceful leap, he intercepted the shot mid-air, bringing it under control and transitioning quickly into a counterattack.

"This is the difference in skill," Sae said coldly, sending a long through ball to Nagi.

Nagi controlled it with his signature nonchalant touch, flicking it over Aomine's attempted tackle. "Too slow."

Kagami rushed in to challenge Nagi, but Nagi flipped the ball backward to Bachira, who was waiting just outside the box.

Bachira grinned, juggling the ball between his feet. "Let's finish this in style!"

He attempted a rabona shot, the ball curving toward the top corner. Teppei sprang into action, tipping the shot over the bar at the last second.

Kagami yelled as he cleared the rebound. "Not on my watch!"

The ball landed with Aomine, who immediately charged down the wing, his speed unmatched. Aomine's explosive movements left defenders scrambling as he cut inside.

"You're not stopping me this time," Aomine muttered, releasing a powerful strike toward the far post.

Gin dove, but Kise appeared in the box, redirecting the ball mid-air with a scorpion kick.

The ball slammed into the net, and Kuroko no Basket pulled ahead once more, 3-2.

Kise stood, flashing a confident smile. "You guys aren't the only ones who can improvise."

Sae narrowed his eyes, walking back toward midfield. "Let's see how long you can keep that lead."

The intensity on the field reached a fever pitch as the game restarted. Blue Lock wasted no time taking the initiative. Rin collected the ball from Sae, his sharp movements cutting through the midfield.

"We're not letting you pull ahead," Rin muttered, darting past Himuro with a precise touch.

Aomine intercepted, matching Rin's speed stride for stride. "You're fast, but not fast enough."

Rin smirked. "We'll see about that."

He shifted his weight and faked a leftward movement, only to cut sharply to the right. Aomine barely recovered, his outstretched leg missing the ball by inches. Rin surged forward, passing to Nagi, who controlled the ball with his usual effortless flair.

"This is boring," Nagi sighed, flipping the ball over Akashi's head and catching it on the other side.

Akashi turned quickly, his Emperor Eye analyzing Nagi's next move. "You're predictable."

Nagi smirked faintly. "Am I?"

Just as Akashi lunged to intercept, Nagi backheeled the ball into the path of Shidou.

Shidou grinned wildly, sprinting into the box. "Perfect pass! Time to show off!"

Shidou launched himself into the air, twisting his body into an acrobatic scissor kick. The ball rocketed toward the goal with blistering speed.

Teppei reacted instantly, diving to his right. His gloves caught the ball's edge, but the force of the shot carried it into the back of the net.

"Goal!" Rin called out calmly as Shidou pumped his fist in celebration. "3-3."

Shidou turned back toward the midfield, grinning at Kagami. "What's wrong? You guys slowing down?"

Kagami clenched his fists, his fiery determination reigniting. "We're just getting started!"

Kuroko no Basket resumed with Akashi orchestrating their movements. His voice was firm but measured as he directed his team.

"Kagami, push forward. Kuroko, stay in position. Midorima, be ready."

The ball reached Kuroko, who remained almost invisible as he moved through Blue Lock's defense. His no-look pass sent the ball into Kagami's path, perfectly timed for a breakaway.

Kagami sprinted toward the goal, his sheer power forcing Aiku and Lorenzo to double-team him. "You're not stopping me!" Kagami shouted, leaping high above the defenders with incredible force.

Gin braced himself, his eyes wide. "Is he serious?"

Kagami unleashed a devastating Meteor Dunk-style header, the ball smashing into the net with unstoppable force.

The scoreboard flashed 4-3.

Kagami landed, his fierce gaze locked onto Rin. "Your move."

Rin's expression remained calm as he retrieved the ball. "This game isn't over."

Blue Lock restarted with Sae taking control. His calm demeanor contrasted sharply with Shidou's wild energy. Sae dribbled past Midorima and Himuro with ease, his technical skill on full display.

Kuroko appeared suddenly, blocking his path. "You won't pass."

Sae raised an eyebrow, smirking. "I don't need to."

With a quick flick, Sae chipped the ball over Kuroko and into the box. Rin was waiting, his focus sharp as he trapped the ball and fired off a pinpoint strike.

The ball flew past Teppei, slamming into the top corner.

"4-4," Rin said coldly, his eyes glinting.

Akashi regrouped his team as they prepared for the final play. "This is our last chance. Kuroko, set it up. Kagami, finish it."

The ball was passed quickly to Kuroko, who moved forward with his usual subtlety. His Phantom Drive allowed him to slip past both Bachira and Aiku unnoticed.

From the corner of his eye, Kuroko spotted Kagami in position and sent a perfectly timed pass.

Kagami roared as he charged toward the goal. "This is it!"

Gin prepared to block, but Kagami feinted a shot, cutting left and lifting the ball into the air. Midorima, who had moved forward unnoticed, jumped higher than anyone else on the field.

"This is the final shot!" Midorima declared, releasing a stunning header.

The ball soared past Gin, burying itself into the back of the net.

The whistle blew.

"Goal! Final score: 5-4! Kuroko no Basket takes the victory!"

Kagami collapsed onto his knees, grinning through his exhaustion. "We did it."

Rin approached, offering a nod of respect. "Good game."

Shidou smirked, his competitive spirit unbroken. "Next time, it's our win."

Kuroko stepped forward, his voice quiet but firm. "We'll be ready."

The two teams walked off the field, their rivalry set in stone but marked by mutual respect. They both walk towards the resting areas, the kuroko team going to the red, and the kuroko going to the yellow side.

Tanaka comes over the loudspeaker and declares that it's time for the next two teams to come out. "All right it's time for the next two teams to step on to the pitch. Let's get the Scissor Seven Vs Black clover team. 

The teams emerged from the waiting room, both exuding confidence. The Scissor Seven team, led by the mysterious and deadly Seven, moved with a fluid grace, their focus sharp and unyielding. Their roster consisted of Seven, Dai Bo, Green phoenix, Red tooth, Thirteen, Black bird, Dachun, zhangmen, Prince of Stan, and shaung 

Opposite them, the Black Clover team, led by the determined and fiery Asta, made their entrance. Asta, Yuno, Noelle, Luck, Julius, Merilona, yami, and the previous Wizard King, Lumiere Silvamillion.
