Chapter 63: The match between the rivals
As the game progressed, Lorcan's teammates drew inspiration from his tenacity, further strengthening their impenetrable wall and ensuring that Jaegar didn't get near the ball.
But Jaegar wasn't about to yield; the challenge only fueled his excitement. The desperate efforts of Lorcan's team to thwart him only ignited Jaegar's desire to crush them even further.
With adversaries flanking him on both sides and Lorcan barring his path ahead, the field transformed into a battleground of speed and strategy.
Jaegar skillfully maneuvered, his every move a dance of anticipation and precision. Despite their efforts, he managed to guide the play towards the center, where the ball beckoned.
Just as Lorcan was poised to intercept, Jaegar surged forward in a swift motion, snatching the ball from its trajectory. His form was enveloped in lightning for a second.
The crowd erupted in awe as Jaegar swiftly evaded Lorcan's grasp, leaving him stunned and off-balance. With the ball securely in his possession, Jaegar's eyes gleamed with a red glint as he sprinted towards the goal, his every step echoing with the thunderous cheers of the spectators.
In a breathtaking display of finesse, he lofted the ball into the air, a spinning beacon of his will. With a flourish, Jaegar drew his leg back, channeling his focus into a powerful strike aimed squarely at the net.
The ball contorted in flight, a streak of fiery fire trailing in its wake. The goalkeeper, resolute in his defense, lunged to intercept, his hands colliding with the blazing sphere. He was confident in the gloves he was wearing, he had been given the best material by the group professors.
Yet, the impact proved futile as the ball rebounded off his grasp like playful jelly, finding its destined place nestled within the corner of the net.
The crowd erupted in a chorus of cheers, their excitement palpable as they witnessed the unstoppable force of the striker's shot. The goalkeeper, momentarily stunned, could only watch in disbelief as the ball settled into the net, a proof of the sheer power and precision of the strike.
Most of the students were excited to see Jaegar play, but there were also a few others who weren't happy with him being here. The Lionallores students would undoubtedly agree with them.
But the Dracanores were filled with joy as they watched Jaegar score the first point for their team, and it wouldn't be the last one today.
Gasps of disbelief turned to an uproar of cheers as the stadium erupted in jubilation. Jaegar's triumphant stance told the tale of his daring feat, with a defiant smile reserved for Lorcan, who stood in awe. With a renewed sense of purpose, the ball was returned to the field, ready to witness the continuation of Jaegar's electrifying display.
A renewed surge of energy surged within Jaegar's veins as he chased the ball with newfound vigor.
He was a blur of speed and unpredictability, weaving through defenders as if guided by an otherworldly force. The goal post drew near, and with an artful flick, Jaegar sent the ball on a mesmerizing zigzag trajectory.
His was so fast that they thought he disappeared a few times. In addition to his bloodline ability, which enhanced his physical attributes, Jaegar's continued stay in the sinner's domain made him physically much stronger than the most.
The crowd held its breath as the ball defied logic, defying all efforts to intercept. The net bulged with a definitive thud, as Jaegar's strike secured another goal.
The match raged on, with each move and pass, a display of Jaegar's exceptional prowess.
His agility and speed on the field were unmatched, leaving his opponents in awe and struggling to keep up. Even Lorcan, known for his defensive skills, couldn't help but marvel at Jaegar's dominance and curse under his breath for getting him as an opponent.
The goalie of the Lionallores team couldn't get near the ball as it moved so fast and with such precision that it seemed to effortlessly find the back of the net every time Jaegar took a shot.
Despite Lorcan's desperate attempts, Jaegar's relentless pursuit to crush them saw him amass an impressive tally of five goals, leaving Lorcan's futile efforts in his wake.
Isadora was in the seating section provided for professors. Along with her, Heath and Jeanine were present. Heath was the representative for Lionallores, and Jeanine was for Dracanores.
Heath was dissatisfied with the way their team was performing. On the other hand, Jeanine was smiling from ear to ear after seeing Jaegar perform, and the team was doing really well on the field.
"Aren't you too excited about the game?" Isadora asked Jeanine, unable to contain her curiosity.
Jeanine, not withdrawing her smile, replied, "Well, it's nice to see them play, giving their all."
Isadora, who was sitting beside Jeanine, leaned towards her and said in a low voice, "Them, or is it him?" Isadora's question made Jeanine pause for a moment, her smile fading slightly. She glanced at Jaegar, the star player of the team, and whispered back to Isadora, "Well, Jaegar is definitely standing out, but the whole team seems to be stepping up their game."
Isadora sighed, seeing that her teasing wasn't working.
Jeanine had already told her about the type of relationship they had and shared the details of their encounter back then. Isadora didn't say anything about Jeanine's involvement with a student. She was more of a bold person, did what she wanted.
As Isadora turned to see the field, Jaegar, with his charming presence, stood out amongst the other players.
On the field,
Amidst the frenzied exchange on the field, Lorcan finally wrested the ball from Jaegar's grasp, sending him sprawling back towards the center.
Swift and decisive, Lorcan surged towards the ball, a determined force of nature. A player sought to halt his progress, but Lorcan's unyielding shoulder met the challenge head-on, propelling his foe into the air with a force that left a trail of awe and concern.
The injured opponent was swiftly removed from the field, with the gravity of the situation hanging in the air. Coach Henry's silence spoke volumes as the team continued to play, driven by an unspoken determination to persevere. Lorcan's triumphant gaze met Jaegar's, a smirk of satisfaction dancing on his lips.
