Bab 79: Daichi's Greatest Fumble

Daikyo High's offense was on the high as they scored another touchdown and another two-pointer. it was clear that Seiryuu High was losing their momentum, and what could've been an easy turnover became another score for the opposing team.

Aiko's eyes locked onto the scoreboard, the numbers glaring back at her: 32-32. The tie felt like a punch to the gut. She blinked rapidly, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill over. This wasn't how it was supposed to go. They had come so far, fought so hard—and now, it was all hanging by a thread.

"Timeout!" Aiko called, her voice cutting through the tension on the field. She couldn't let this slip away. Not now. Not when they were so close. As the players huddled around her, Aiko quickly wiped her eyes, forcing herself to stay composed. They needed her to be strong, to lead them through this final stretch.
