Chapter Three

Sena felt unhappy staring at the mirror seeing himself in the Mao Middle School uniform. He was going have a same year as Mamori (lucky she attended to all girl school during her middle school year). He felt like want to cursed himself for being careless, his teachers found out Sena's school works kind of advance to middle school, also test pass with high points. They think would be best if Sena skip a grade, more challenge learning for him.

SKIP. A. GRADE. His mother though it was good news, but to Sena it wasn't. He was getting worry about timeline screw up like Kurita, Hiruma, and Musashi that never established American Football team together. Sena told his mother wanted going to Mao Middle School for a reason his friends are going to be there, playing American Football with them again. (Sena remembered Kurita's story).

Now, he got same year as Hiruma, Kurita, Shin, and many others more. He got a lot sweating and nervous when he got a name 'Shin' in his mind. Ever since Shin had to move out, no more running-buddies for them and Shin's last word to Sena caused his spine shaking like crazy.

"From on now, you are my rival!" stoic Shin pointed at mouth dropping Sena, "I have a feeling we will be seeing each other again in future."

Sena wasn't able to responded until then Shin left.

Sena shook his head taking mind out of his head. Shin is right we will meet again, next three or four years...

Sena's body had changed a lot through training copied from future like Death Match except his height same as ever 'shorty'. But one he hadn't test it yet the 40 yards dash. He was really want to see a result badly. Finished eating breakfast and run off to new Middle School.

Mao Middle School

Sena almost running late for opening ceremony in the school's gym. The boys whistled when girls' skirt wind up as soon Sena ran through them. He sat down next to a boy with huge round body (himself think to rude to saying fat), lucky he got an aisle seat. Sena's elbow accidently bumps into his belly by putting backpack down. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to!" He apologized couple times.

"It's alright!" Huge boy smiled. "I'm Kurita!"

Sena smiled happily to see him again, "I'm Sena, nice to meet you Kurita."

The talking unable to be continue because the principal making a speech.

Sena figured out he had same classroom as Musashi, he didn't know why not able to approach him like as if the fate pulled him down.

Two weeks later, Sena and Kurita had becoming great friends both have common interest was American Football. They went to watch football game, reason Kurita wanted to go because of Shinryuuji Naga, a team playing against other school.

"Shinryuuji is awesome! I want to play football with them at Christmas Bowl!" Kurita kind of... fangirling.

Sena smiled weary knowing Kurita's fate that not able got into Shinryuuji High School. When he looked at Shinryuuji team got a feeling, it's not a team as whole, they have more individual each of their own. He didn't want to upset Kurita.

"Sena! I have decide!" Kurita's eyes were starry. "We make our own America Football team!"

"WE?! You and I?" Sena stuttered and his mind whacked with worrisome not thinking straight. "That's... Great! Let's doing it!"

"Then I don't mind to be your coach or club adviser," An old man whom drinking so much alcohol approached them. "I cannot help to overhear it."

Sena's brain triggered and blunt out, "Doburoku?!" Snapped, his hand covering his mouth.

"Oh oh, you have heard about me?" Doburoku raised eyebrow. "Twin Blade?"

Sena nodded countless time holding his mouth shut, just make a excuse to be football nerd.

"Wow, you used to be football player?!" Kurita exclaimed.

"Yes, I did... Long story..." a nod from Doburoku. "You need three members to make club official. One more to go."

"Tomorrow, I'm sure many people will join us! Let's do it Sena!" Kurita's eyes lit a fire.

Sena laughed uneasily, "Let's do our best."

Next day Sena and Kurita created a lot flyers the principal wasn't happy and not even one person join at all for a week.

"Sorry Kurita... We did try our best..." Sena sighed.

"Don't worry! They will come! I will wait forever!" Kurita's brain had full of rainbow. Sena kind of envy him.

Club Adviser Doburoku only could provided old junk football equipments, he fixed some of too. Kurita wept like a baby and babbling 'thank you' to Doburoku million times. He slipped away from Kurita's hug, "Instead of too busy hugging me, just go tracking the dummy!" Kurita obeyed.

Doburoku turned to Sena, "What is your position or you want it? A shorty like you?"

"Runner-Back!" Sena answered with no hint of hesitation.

"Awesome Sena!" Kurita still tracking the dummy.

Doburoku took a surprised and smiled, "Very well, try pass me!" He made a stance open wide 'come at me'.

Sena startled at the nostalgic. His mind fulling with words 'Should I hold back or not?'.

"Here I come Doburoku... All years I train so hard," Sena lowered his body readying to run.

A flash! Sena had already passed Doburoku! Doburoku couldn't believe his eyes what he saw middle schooler kid! Made his knees dropped onto the ground speechless... Thought he saw a ghost, devil bat ghost! He could tell Sena had so much potential.

"Wow Sena! You are so awesome! Sooo fast!" Kurita exclaimed loudly.

Doburoku snapped to reality, "Sena, let's doing 40 yards dash to see your timing."

4.5 Seconds! 40 yards dash from Sena. Doburoku's mind boggling. I'm betting on him might do 4.2 seconds in 40 yards dash in his high school year. "Sena your record is 4.5 seconds, pretty much more than just high school level..."

Sena rubbed his neck nervously and said, "I run everyday nothing new."

Doburoku's eyes narrowed but shrugged off.

"Sena! I found a paper with scribble play on it!" Sena noticed 'scribble play' is football tactics and Kurita smiled brightly, "I'm going find him and ask to join our team! So we can play!" Sena couldn't respond because Kurita already left him behind.

Good, I shouldn't involved and leave to Kurita alone, let Kurita chasing Hiruma just like Kurita's story told.
