Sakata's dream was interrupted by a couple of knocks in the door of his room. Annoyed, he sat up, trying to wake up - he didn't remember, what his dream was about, but it certainly didn't want to let him go.

"The door is open!", he said quietly, allowing someone to enter.

"Hello, Sakata!" - at the following moment, Amatsuki appeared in the room. - "Did you sleep well?"

"Yes, thanks", answered the redhead politely, missing the chance to complain to the male about his rude interruption.

"It's great then! We have a training session now, what about joining us?", smiled Amatsuki. Only then Sakata noticed, that the male was in sportswear. He nodded, not really understanding anything. The brunet smiled and pulled Sakata by the hand. After running, they finally reached the gym.

Kashitaro spotted them as he offered them a smile. "Good morning you two.", he greeted them. Soraru was also there already as he was stretching tiredly, yawning while he was doing so. He saw Amatsuki and Sakata coming as well as the only nodded slightly as a response, not feeling awake enough to do anything else.

"Amatsuki... How will I exercise in this?", Sakata gestured to his pajama, glancing at the male.

"Oops..." - Amatsuki nervously scratched his shoulder. - "Sorry for pulling you out of the room without letting you change your clothes. But it's not what is important, right? You can exercise in every cloth, you just need to be self-confident!", the brunet exclaimed, and Sakata nervously laughed from his optimism. Clothes really didn't matter to him, but the redhead preferred not to seem foolish in the eyes of the heroes that he admired. He quickly turned his gaze to everyone, until he found out that someone wasn't there.

Soraru noticed that the redhead was probably wondering about where one of their teammates was as he decided to answer. "You looking for Mafu? He's not joining us today.", Soraru told him. Upon the younger male still looking confused, the older male decided to explain it to him more. "He is not feeling well so for today, he won't be able to join us for the training but rest instead.", Soraru added.

"So it is actually great that you are joining us for the training, Sakata. This way, we will have enough people for what we are about to do.", Kashitaro said, smiling.

"W-what are we doing to do?", Sakata even started stuttering from surprise. He couldn't believe that his dream came true - that he would start training with his idols.

"Oh, we will split into two teams and play a very-very interesting game!" - Amatsuki smiled - "Have you heard about "Capture the flag" by any chance?"

"No?", the name of the game sounded unfamiliar and even strange to Sakata.

"Basically we will split into two groups. And each group has to try their best to get the flag that is somewhere here. Unfortunately, we don't have any flags with us today.", Kashitaro said.

"Is there even any point in doing this if we don't have any flags? I mean that is basically the thing we need for this kind of training.", Soraru reminded the brunet who only gave the other male a smile.

"Oh, don't worry about that. We can just use something... or rather someone instead.", Kashitaro said, not continuing to talk as Soraru looked at the other male in slight confusion before he stared at the brunet in disbelief.

"Kashitaro, no—". "We'll just use Mafu-kun as a flag instead.", Kashitaro interrupted the raven-haired male who only glared at the other male. "There is no way we are going to do that. You just want to—". "Anyways, are there any objections in doing so?", Kashitaro asked, ignoring the ravenette as he looked at the other two.

"Have you thought about Mafumafu?", Sakata decided to express his opinion,"What if he woke up and saw someone carrying him?",he asked.

"I guess he is used to i-", Amatsuki was about to say something, but then he caught Soraru's threatening glare and decided to change the topic,"I think Mafu-kun will be happy to help us, even this way. I agree with the idea. Do you want me to carry him?", he suggested, smiling. Sakata still was in slight disbelief.

"Well, now that that's settled, let's split up into two groups.", Kashitaro said as he looked at everyone and thought about it for a second before deciding on the groups.

"I and Amatsuki-kun will be in a group and Sakata and Soraru will be in the other group.", Kashitaro told them as Soraru bit his lip and looked at the redhead. "We better win this...", Soraru muttered to himself as he crossed his arms.

"I will try my best!", said Sakata, still feeling confused. Why did Kashitaro think that it's a good idea - to leave him and Soraru in the same team? The ravenette didn't trust the redhead at all.

"Nothing less is expected from our newest member!", Amatsuki ruffled Sakata's hair, "And I want to say sorry now for any injury you can earn by training with us. We can ask Mafu-kun to heal you later.", his tone suddenly changed to serious.

"Wait, injuries?", Sakata was astonished, while Amatsuki winked him and wished good luck. In curiosity, the redhead turned to Soraru, hoping to gather answers from him.

Instead of receiving any answers, all he could see though was the ravenette grumbling to himself as he was starting to mutter things under his breath. "You two better watch out cause I won't go easy on any of you even if you end up begging for me to stop... I will crush you.", he muttered through his gritted teeth before he turned to look at the younger male.

"You. We are going to win this so do everything in your power to win, alright? Losing is unforgivable.", Soraru told the younger male.

Sakata was scared of the raven-haired's threat, but decided to smile as bright as he could,"I will, be sure! But how can they hurt me? Are we fighting with weapons?", he asked, tilting his head.

Soraru only looked at the younger male as if he was stupid before sighing and answering nevertheless. "No, we are going to fight with our powers. This is a training for us to improve our powers and all after all. So, of course, we would use our powers as well.", Soraru explained.

"But I don't even know how to control it...", Sakata whispered, not willing to disappoint the older male further. Amatsuki, somehow noticing his upset mood, decided to cheer him up.

"It's just training, Sakata. Think about it as a game!", with those words he left the room and came back in a second, carrying the sleeping body of an albino. The redhead couldn't help but feel sorry for Mafumafu.

Soraru glared at Amatsuki but didn't say anything as he merely clicked his tongue. "Let's just start this game get this over with.", he said as Kashitaro nodded. "Alright. You two do your best then.", Kashitaro told them with a smile.

"Oi, you. Do you get the rules more or less or do you need me to explain it to you again just in case?", Soraru asked as he turned to look at the younger male again. 

"I understood almost everything. Except... where do we need to carry him?", the redhead said, Soraru still glaring at Amatsuki. Instead of the raven-haired, it was the latter who gave him an answer.

"It is the place you need to decide on your team!", Amatsuki smiled and took Kashitaro's hand. "You have five minutes to discuss everything, and then we will start a game", after saying it, two males left in the farthest corner of the gym, placing Mafumafu on the floor in the middle of the room.

Soraru then turned to look at the younger male again, deciding to stop glaring at the brunet and focus on the important things now. Which was winning the game.

"Any place you have in mind? You can decide if you want to.", Soraru told the redhead.

An idea suddenly came to Sakata's mind.

"I got one!", he got closer and started whispering to Soraru's ear. "No one had said that the place should be in the gym", the redhead smirked and gestured somewhere behind the door.

Soraru hummed as he nodded, satisfied at the younger male's idea. "Guess you can be pretty useful too. Alright, let's do that then. All we have to do is get Mafu and then we can win. Just use your powers to help me so that Amatsuki and Kashitaro can't get close to him.", Soraru told the redhead.

Soraru then gestured the younger male to come closer before he leaned down to explain their strategy to the red-haired male. "So we are going to do it like this...", Soraru said as he started to explain it. After a few minutes, he leaned back again as he looked at the redhead. "Any objections or other suggestions about this or is this fine with you?", Soraru asked.

"Everything is okay, but... I can't control my power. I don't even know how it works", Sakata turned away in embarrassment until he realized something. "But, maybe, I don't have to use it the whole time?", he asked his teammate.

"Yes, you don't have to use it the whole time. Just make it so I have enough time to do my part. If I notice that you need help, I will help you by using my powers or something like that.", Soraru told his partner.

Sakata nodded in understanding. "Let's win this game!", he exclaimed, and at that moment they heard a quiet sound signal, apparently telling them about the beginning of the game.

"Yeah. Let's win this.", Soraru said as he quickly ran forward as soon as the signal started.

***
As the alarm rang out, Kashitaro and Amatsuki were already prepared. They had been working with each other for a while and already knew, how to deal with different problems together. It was their advantage.

"Are we ready to win this game?", asked Amatsuki, forming a fire sphere in his hand. The fire magic was taking a lot of his power, but if everything went, following their plan, Amatsuki wouldn't have to use it for more than a couple of minutes.

"Of course.", Kashitaro said with a smile as he stood ready to protect Amatsuki. "Let's see how well those two are going to work together.", he said before going back to concentrating on the game.

Amatsuki formed fire in his hands and set himself on fire. Surrounded by flames, he smirked and added:

"Now we are definitely ready"

***
Sakata was expecting almost everything, but the sight of burning Amatsuki running towards him wasn't on that list. He quickly stepped a couple of steps to the left, and luckily he did it! The place where he was standing was already on flames. He turned his head, searching for Soraru, but the raven-haired male had already disappeared. The redhead tried to run from Amatsuki but then noticed that the floor near him was lifting up, trapping him.

Kashitaro used his abilities to keep Sakata in place so Amatsuki would have had it easier. "Sorry, Sakata, but you will have to stay here for a bit.", he said smiling at the red-haired male before tending towards the brunet.

"I will keep him here like this so you can continue and carry out our plan.", Kashitaro told Amatsuki.

Sakata hadn't any possibility to do something. But he couldn't give up so easily! He remembered Soraru's words.

"A thing about those two you should know which could help is that Kashitaro only has a limited amount of things he can control for his power. So try to distract him. About Amatsuki... Just distract him too I guess. If he loses focus, he won't be able to use his powers that well anymore."

The redhead decided to take action. As in the childhood and recently, he asked about a big power to destroy something, although that time he didn't close his eyes. Sakata in surprise observed a small star, letting out of his hand and flying next to Amatsuki, The redhead decided to move it for a little, so he aimed that thing to the floor and adverted his eyes. The sounds of something blowing up were the next thing he heard, right before Amatsuki's scream.

Kashitaro got so startled as well, not expecting the redhead to have that kind of power as he immediately stopped what he was doing and rushed to the younger brunet instead.

"Amatsuki-kun, are you alright?!", he asked as he ran faster to get to the other male and check if the latter was ok. And as he did so, the ground got back into its original state, giving Sakata the opportunity to move around freely again as the two brunets were now distracted.

He smiled proudly, but then he noticed an injury on Amatsuki's leg. The male didn't know what to do and decided to continue distracting the boys. Sakata quickly created another star and blew it up that way so Amatsuki and Kashitaro couldn't get free from the wreckage.

While all of that happened, Soraru had already run up to the albino as he quickly scooped the younger male up into his arms, ready to run to the place which Soraru and Sakata had decided to choose. Quickly running to it with Mafumafu in his arms, Soraru got startled when he heard a scream.

And upon getting closer, the ravenette was surprised to see Amatsuki on the floor, injured, and Kashitaro sitting next to the brunet, not doing anything while Sakata was standing there, keeping the two brunets in place.

"What... happened?", Soraru asked as he got to their place. They had won but that was something that none of them cared about right now as they all looked at the redhead in shock.

"I w-was using my power?", Sakata confusingly looked at the males. "Have I done something wrong?"

"What in the world is happening?", Mafumafu woke up and glared at heroes, before going back to sleep again. 

"I should treat my leg.", Amatsuki stood up, smiling through the pain. "Good job, Sakata and Soraru! You two have made a great team. Kashitaro... can you help me to get to my room?", he asked the older brunet.

"Of course.", Kashitaro said nodding as he lifted Amatsuki up so that the younger male wouldn't have to walk with his injured leg. "Let's go then. You guys come as well. We have to talk about this...", Kashitaro told them as Soraru nodded in agreement.

Despite not liking the idea of anyone else besides himself carrying the albino once more, Soraru decided that there were more important things to do right now.

"Sakata, can you carry Mafu back to his room while I and Kashitaro get Amatsuki treated?", Soraru asked as he walked closer to the redhead so that he could give Mafumafu over to Sakata.

"Can you tell me where his room is?", Sakata asked, trying not to fall with sleeping Mafumafu. The boy was heavy, although the redhead doubted, that albino would wake up even after meeting his head with the floor. After all, he hadn't woken up during the whole game.

"Ah, right. I'll tell you.", Soraru said before he gave Sakata the directions to the albino's room. "The room is unlocked so you can just set him down on his bed.", the older male told the redhead.

"Yes. sir!", Sakata smiled and went with Mafu to the albino's room.

"Let's go then.",  Kashitaro told Soraru as they headed towards the brunet's room. When they arrived, he gently put the younger male down, careful to not accidentally hurt him while doing so before searching for a first aid kit.

"Does it hurt a lot?", Kashitaro asked worried as he took some bandages and some disinfectant out of the kit.

"I never thought that the hero can hurt other people so badly.", Amatsuki said honestly, still smiling."But don't worry, it will be okay soon.", he reassured the older brunet.

"That's good then.", Kashitaro said smiling before he started to bandage the brunet's leg while Soraru was watching. "So... what happened back there that Amatsuki ended up like this?", Soraru asked.

"I don't really remember... I was running to the Mafu-kun, when something flew to the floor, I didn't pay attention, but then it crashed the floor and hurt my leg a bit", the injured brunet told a story to the raven-haired.

"I see... His powers... are they even those of a hero? I have never met a hero with these kinds of powers.", Soraru said as he frowned slightly, thinking of the only possible answer left.

"What will we do now?", Amatsuki questioned. He was very surprised that the redhead, who seemed very friendly and kind to him, might be a villain. He just couldn't believe it - couldn't believe the fact, that in the next battle they might fight against each other, not during the training.

"For now, let's talk to him about this first and see what we do next after that.", Kashitaro suggested as they nodded in agreement and decided to wait for the redhead to come here.

"But what... if he chooses to be a villain?", Amatsuki whispered, speaking out everyone's doubts. 

Kashitaro frowned slightly as Soraru sighed and crossed his arms before answering. "Well, we don't know that yet. He genuinely seems like he wants to be a hero after all. But... if he does end up choosing to be a villain... we will crush him and show everyone that no one will ever stand a chance against us."

Both authors are jealous of Mafumafu's ability not to wake up in any kind of situation (to be honest, we are sorry that we made him be a replacement for the flag, but we needed to equal the teams-)

We hope you enjoyed the chapter! Bye-bye!)
