In a weird moment, Sera decided to walk out. She realized something was going on Sonoko's face.
For an experienced girl like Sera, she understood what's gone wrong. She was capable to see this from Sonoko and she was eager to get why.
On the other side, Sonoko was in her bed and she was in somewhere … in her dream land might be …
…
…
"Makoto, you are the greatest!"
She just cheered for Makoto in an unknown match, when Makoto faced up with an opponent, who was unknown as well. On the beginning, Makoto performed very well.
Because of his experience, Makoto Kyogoku, who was Sonoko's love interest, but when he was about to win, suddenly the unknown opponent just made a stun.
He quickly heralded the attempt, turned back and surprisingly gave a kick on Makoto's back. Sonoko was so shocked that she saw how it went through.
It sucked to see this. And then, Sonoko saw the unknown opponent attempted to make several strikes. Makoto had to defend but getting severe injuries. It was like that.
The man who fought against Makoto was incredibly strong. He quickly restored his balance and Makoto had to stand. This was the time Sonoko feared, he might lose.
"No, Makoto! Don't lose …"
Sonoko could not want to cry, but seeing how Makoto got beaten by an unknown, yet face evil. The man seemed to have a deep rivalry with Makoto, and he wanted revenge. He would hurt him as much as possible.
Sonoko didn't want it:
"No! Leave Makoto …"
…
…
…
"If there are any reasons to do, then it is time to imagine it."
A voice from another man. He was sitting right behind Sonoko and Sonoko, on her wake, she soon noticed to …
"I think he will survive. Maybe, your boyfriend, perhaps."
"Who … are you?" Sonoko questioned. The man, looked tall and extremely handsome, just mentioned a bit.
"My name's Baghdad. Baghdad Bounedjah."
Baghdad Bounedjah.
Baghdad Bounedjah's voice sound like a native from somewhere. Then, Sonoko asked:
"Mr. Baghdad … is Makoto able to win?"
"Not so sure, but if you just feel sadness, you'll never be able to see. The boy depends on your ability." Baghdad calmly explained: "He can only win if you are truly with him."
Baghdad Bounedjah carried an Algerian flag with him, as he was born in Oran, while on the same time, he just stated: "As you see, he is hopeless because you're hopeless. By a way, what's your name?"
"My name is Sonoko Suzuki. Say, how do you know?" Sonoko was surprised.
"It is simple, look to his behavior." Baghdad pointed out. Makoto, sustaining many injuries because of his brutal opponent, seemed not able to get up. His eyes, however, changed to Sonoko and when Sonoko was extremely wary, he didn't know how to do. For an Algerian international, he knew very well the life like.
Then, Sonoko also realized. His worry had eaten his soul and made him lose his consciousness. As for the consequence, the opponent kept attacking.
Sonoko was so saddened, she looked on: "Why can't we save him?"
Baghdad responded again: "Again, I have no authority, but it is you who can heal his pain. This is what you must do."
Then, Baghdad, for somehow, raised his rose, and then, made it vanished into the sky. Surprisingly, he managed to take it back by shaking his hand. Rose came again!
And Baghdad gave to Sonoko: "Remember it. Believe."
Sonoko looked upon, and then, she just felt a strange thing on. She realized, the rose she got was a gift Makoto gave her before. She just got the reason.
While Makoto had fallen and was about to lose, Sonoko, in a surprising moment, shouted:
"Don't lose … Makoto-san!"
The word ignited Makoto's extreme feeling, and for the first time, Makoto found his energy. Against a much stronger opponent, his hidden power was awakened. He soon took the charge, rose up and took a surprising punch.
The opponent was able to get from the first, but unfortunately for him, not the second. Makoto acted too quick for him and when he tried to repower himself, he got a face smash!
This was a real punch from Makoto! He was truly in fire! Sonoko, for this time, found the power of Makoto and she cheered: "You're amazing! Makoto, you're so amazing!"
On this moment, Baghdad Bounedjah smiled a bit. It was enough to remember for Baghdad Bounedjah, a strong, willing Sonoko truly empowered Makoto Kyogoku to battle and finally, achieving the win. Makoto lifted the title, with the happiness from Sonoko.
The win was so honest and enough for Makoto, and Sonoko thanked Baghdad for helping her. But on the same time, Baghdad left a message to remind that, it would be better if she did it herself.
Baghdad also stated a "thank" to Sonoko, while Baghdad Bounedjah had left.
