A brand new day shines upon the citizens of Inazuma Town after the events of Chrono Stone, everything goes back to the way it was, Sakura blossoms start to fall from the breeze as the students of Raimon Junior High enter for another day of classes, They are doing their usual routine such as chatting, fixing their lockers, and others. The atmosphere seems to be busy yet calm until...

"Ohayo Gozaimasu!!"

A certain cheerful voice can be heard in the school hallway, All the students catch their attention, some of them greet him back while some just stare at him as he dashes across the hallway like a strong wind going to his classroom, it is the Captain of Raimon Soccer Club, Matsukaze Tenma. He is filled with joy and hope for a new day, his smile is shown across his face, he is always optimistic in every situation, and today, he is the same captain and first-year student we know and love. He opened the slide door of his classroom, his joy remained within himself.

"Ohayo Gozaimasu Minna!!" He said to his classmates in a happy tone as they looked at him.

"Ohayo Tenma!" A familiar human Pikachu figure starts to approach the Chestnut-brown hair captain, It happens to be Nishizono Shinsuke, The substitute goalkeeper of the soccer club. "You are early today, you excited for the practice later?" he said, his eyes full of excitement.

Tenma nodded, full of determination and happiness as usual, "Hai! I'm so ready for the practice, Soccer is finally back the way it was-" he was cut off by a certain short dark blue-haired female student.

"Tenma, you can't say that out loud... People aren't aware of the situation that is happening between timelines, remember?" She said in a serious yet concerning tone.

He just chuckled nervously and scratched his head a bit and said "Sorry Aoi, I got carried away.." She just sighed and let out a small smile at him, the female student turned out to be Sorano Aoi, Tenma's childhood friend and one of the managers of the soccer team.

Shinsuke let out a giggle "But either way, We can't wait for the practice today, I wonder what will Coach Endou will teach us, it might be something interesting or maybe a new hissatsu technique or tactics!" His thoughts were running like crazy on what will be their training later as Aoi let out a giggle

"Well, good luck! I'm sure both of you will develop even more in your skills!" she said, giving them a thumbs up, Tenma just nodded, his eyes are filled with hope and confidence, hoping for this day will be unforgettable once more.

Meanwhile, The second-year students are now in their classroom, waiting for their teacher to arrived. The atmosphere is peaceful until a bunch of female students are staring at certain classmate of theirs.

She let out a sigh in an adored and amusing tone "Look at him... isn't he perfect?" The other girl agreed "Didn't you see on how he played the piano yesterday? It is so mesmerizing!"

Their conversations continue on as they are referring to the prodigy at the front row. Yes, I'm talking about the former captain and midfielder of the soccer team, Shindou Takuto. As you can see he is the popular guy in school, many girls adored this guy almost every single day, to him, it is quite normal.

"He will be mine girls, sorry, I'm sure you aren't qualified to his standards."

"Oi! Don't you go talking like he knows you, he probably doesn't know you existed anyway!"

"You watch your mouth! You are nothing compared to me! Who do you think you have the authority to say that, huh?!"

"You two need to wait in line, I am the first in line! So, step aside!"

Shindou let out a sigh as he heard the girls arguing over him, he just continued to read his textbook like always, he didn't bother. Minutes passed and it almost struck 7 in the morning, he closed his textbooks and just stared at the whiteboard as his thoughts wandered a little, he looked at the empty seat in the next row, which was near the window... He just stared at it for a while, His mind wondered once more, remembering a certain someone he knew..

"She isn't here today? Where is she..? Is she late...? I just... hope she is alright.. I miss her..."

Who is he referring to? A mystery girl came across to his mind, it was like he had known her for a long time, but his connection with her remained unknown, he continued to stare at the empty seat once more, He couldn't help but look down for a bit as his eyes are filled with guilt and sorrow.

"Will she ever... forgive me..?"

His thoughts came to an end as the bell rang and the teacher came just in time to start the class, the teacher started to discuss the lesson, and as usual, he listened to every single detail they explained while writing the highlights on the certain lesson, but couldn't help but to look back at the empty seat, hoping she will arrive in class, it doesn't matter if she is late. He proceeds to look back at the whiteboard and focus on the discussion.

Raimon Jr. High remained quiet ever since classes started and the atmosphere became quiet once more, At the abandoned soccer club located outside of the field, an unknown shadow figure lurking towards it and it looked like they were observing its appearance.

"So, this is the abandoned soccer club, huh? It looks so rusty and old... well, it has been years since it was established. A landmark of Raimon Jr. High School... How fascinating."

The shadow figure is revealed to be an unidentified blackish-pink long-haired female student, her uniform seems different from other female students, she is wearing a grey jacket, half open seeing her white uniform with her small orange ribbon attached to her collar and cerulean blue school skirt. She was about to approach the abandoned soccer club to have a better look when a familiar shadow lurked behind her.

"There you are, I have been looking everywhere for you!" he let out a smile as he looked at her

The girl startled due to his sudden voice speaking to her, thinking that a teacher caught her "Who's there, I won't do anything here-" she stopped her sentence and saw the person behind her, it happened to be Endou Mamoru, The legendary goalkeeper and founder of the soccer club and recently, Coach of Raimon Soccer Team. He chuckled and maintained eye contact with her...

"Coach Endou, I was actually looking for you back at the soccer building but you weren't there, So I thought you were at this old soccer club.." She maintained eye contact with him as she bowed politely, she revealed to have blue eyes, even her pupils were light blue, interesting... Before she could say something, Endou suddenly spoke up.

"You must be Misaki Patricia, Am I correct?"

She stopped while still maintaining eye contact and took a deep breath "Yes coach, Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" he just smiled at her while Misaki remained puzzled, she wondered why Coach Endou wanted to talk to her but more importantly, how did he know her in the very beginning?

[1 HOUR PASSED]

The classes are still continuing, and their next subject teacher is now in the second-year classroom, discussing their next topic and explaining other details. The students just remain focus on the lesson and some of them took notes, it was just an ordinary discussion. But before the teacher continues on, they heard a sliding door open.

"Sumimasen Sensei!" The whole class, including the teacher, paid attention to who it was and it was Misaki, who is panting and sweating while holding the sliding door "I'm sorry If I am late.." She bowed politely, Shindou was shocked to see her in the flesh, he felt relief that she was here but why exactly? The teacher gave a confused look and made their direction to her while arms crossed

"Care to explain your reason, Ms. Misaki?" they said in a serious tone, Misaki looked at the teacher while still panting a little "A teacher told me to talk with him and it is important... sorry I didn't inform right away, It won't happen again." the teacher look at her once more and let out a sigh.

"Alright, I understand, But please do inform immediately. Take your seat!" Misaki bowed once more and went back to her seat.

...

"You changed ever since we last met... but you're the same girl I have known for years..."

...

Misaki didn't notice that a certain prodigy had his eyes locked on her, his elbows were placed on the seat's desk, and laid his head on his hand as he looked at her. His eyes are filled with... admiration? He let out a sigh at how much he felt relief yet the guilt remained within him, it was heavy in his chest but he continued to stare at her. Misaki noticed and decided to look at him, in which he was alarmed and quickly looked away, she was confused but continued to focus on the discussion as she placed both arms on the seat's desk. The tensions between them seem intriguing, Shindou shifts his eyes back to the whiteboard while Misaki looks down a bit, the tension remains the same as the whole class continues.

[TIMESKIP, LUNCH TIME]

The second-year students are doing their things as usual, Misaki is just fixing her things, but she doesn't notice that Shindou is approaching her, he wants to start a conversation with her, he reaches his hand out to her, he was hesitant at first but he took the opportunity to talk with her.

"Misaki.. I.." Before he could say anything further, someone called her.

"Misaki-san! I need your help for a bit.." it happened to be a classmates of theirs, Misaki heard her and smiled "Oh, What is it?" Shindou just refrain himself from interfering and just put down his hand. "I am having trouble with a certain research information, I couldn't find a primary resource for references.." the fellow classmate said, looking worried. Misaki just nodded in understanding

"Oh I see, do not worry.. I will help you!" before the fellow classmate leave, she noticed Shindou next to Misaki "Oh, Shindou-san, is there something you need?" Misaki look at him, letting out a "hm?" sound escaping from her mouth, which makes him startled a bit and look at her.

The tension ease, They are making eye contact, it just silent between the both of them, 4 inches gap yet it felt so close, he wants to say something but he looked away

"I-its nothing..." he said in a nervous tone. The blackish-pink long-hair student puzzled on his actions yet she felt concerned and curious as she continue to stare at him.

"Oh okie, so let's go... Misaki-san!" the fellow classmate left as she was snapped back to reality "H-hai.. I'm coming.." she went passed by the prodigy as she followed her.

...

"That feeling... still remain within my heart."

...

Misaki thought as she left the classroom, leaving Shindou sighed and looked down, losing the chance to talk to her. Unnoticed, someone touches his shoulder which make him shocked a bit.

"Shindou, are you okie?" he look behind him, he saw Kirino Ranmaru, his best friend and defender of the team, asking him, he looks concern seeing him looking disappointed.

"You are trying to talked to her, am I right?" he asked. Shindou was hesitant but he just nodded, he really want to talked to her yet he failed to do so. Kirino figured "Look, I know you want to talk to her, but I think it isn't the right time... It has been months ever since that incident."

That incident? What is he talking about? He remembered, it is still fresh in his memory... he wants to forget it but he knew, it is still remain unresolved. He clutches his fist "I know, i just want to make things right, I was a jerk back then. I was just hoping to make amends on everything I have done to her..."

Kirino just watched him feeling guilty on the past, he try his best to comfort "I understand, one day... Everything will be alright, It will take time but I know things will turn out better for the both of you." he said with a smile on his face, Shindou smiled back, remaining hopeful "I hope so, Kirino.."

[CAFETERIA]

The Raimon soccer team first years are enjoying their obento as the sat the same table together, the surrounding are quite noisy, full of students eating their lunches and some conversations can heard in the background.

"Mmm... Oishi desu!" Shinsuke said as he eats his obento while sparkles appeared around his face.

Tenma chuckled at Shinsuke expressions, it went silent once more until Kariya Masaki, a defender of the team, broke it "Haven't you heard?" he exclaimed. Kageyama Hikaru, Kageyama Reiji's nephew and Forward of the team, turn his head to him in a curious manner while eating his obento.

"eh? About what exactly?" he asked. Kariya continued his statement "There will be a new recruit in our team today!" he said as he continues to eat his obento, which led to the first years shocked.

"Eh?? A new recruit??" they exclaimed,"Who is this new recruit, Kariya-san?" Aoi asked, he just shrug "no clue, I only heard of it... guess we will have to find out later..." Tenma start to feel excited "Sugoi!!"

Kariya was startled at him "A new member, that will be interesting, now I'm curious who is it!!" Shinsuke agreed, also feeling excited "same here! I wondered who could it be..? They might be probably cool!"

Hikaru chimes in "Maybe he is a seed like Tsurugi!" he looked at Tsurugi Kyosuke, the former SEED/enemy and ace striker of the team, who is eating obento in peace, heard his name being called out "hm..? I'm not sure if they are still SEED around but it is a possibility.." he continues to eat his obento.

"Maybe he is a fan of soccer, that is why he wants to join us." Tenma said, still feeling excited "Or maybe it isn't a "he" but a "she"! There is a possibility you guys might have an official female member!" Aoi exclaims as Shinsuke thought about it too "Yeah, it could be possible!"

Kariya agreed as he continues to eat his obento "Well, we have been through a lot of adventures, whoever is this new recruit,well good luck... who knows what will be the next trial we have to face." Their memories are still fresh, they went through a lot but it helps them grew their bonds and they are grateful for that.

...

"No matter what, We are all in this together! It doesn't matter if we face another danger, we can succeed when we try. All of us are here together, we can take any challenges ahead of us."

Tenma said full of determination and confidence, all of them nodded, they are prepared on anything, whether it is big or small, they will succeed in any circumstances, nevertheless, their excitement never left about the new recruit, hoping they will get along pretty well.

[TIMESKIP, CLUB PERIOD]

Everyone in the soccer team is present, doing their warming up routine, preparing for their training session in a few minutes, everyone is so pumped up and energize enough today. Coach Endou arrived.

He gave a smile to all of them and scan if everyone is presented, but someone is missing "Alright everyone, listen up!" The Raimon soccer team stopped and listened to their coach attentively "We have a new recruit today, they will be here in any minute now." They start to talk about the new recruit afterwards..

"A new recruit, how interesting! The more the merrier they say!" Nishiki said, he is quite intriguing on who is this mystery recruit will be..?

"I hope they are nice.." Hayami said nervously "Don't worry, I'm sure they won't hurt us." Hamano reassured

"Well, whoever could be.. Let's give them a warm welcome." Sangoku said, everyone agreed as they continue to discussed

"I'm pretty sure they might be a soccer freak like the Captain here." Kurama remarked, Tenma shivered a little as he is being referred to. That hit him right in the feels.

"They must be cool.." Yamane Akane, one of the managers and the photographer, said filled with sparkles, Aoi agrees and look at Seto Midori, one the managers of the team, who said "They might even kick butt." which makes her sweatdrop

Otonashi Haruna, the adviser and counselor of Raimon Jr. High, was checking her clipboard for a bit, she turn her head and saw a shadow figure came approaching the field from the distance "Oh! They're here!"

All of them are caught their attention as they look at the same direction, they also notice the shadow figure, they were in total shock, especially the second and third year members

"My apologies, Did I took so long?" The shadow slowly fade away, It is Misaki Patricia! She is the new recruit of Raimon Soccer Team, while the first years are amazed, the others reacted otherwise. As Misaki approaches, some of them are in total shock, It is like they saw a ghost or something.

'M-Misaki..?!" Amagi stuttered while still in shock

"This is quite... surprising?" Kuramada said while still confused.

Tenma looked at them, confused "Wait, you know her?" Kirino answered "S-she is a classmates/ close friend of ours." Coach Endou nodded at her, which she nodded back and look at the team. Meanwhile, Shindou may not look shock but deep down, his heart weigh more heavier than before.

"Misaki... I thought you.."

His thought wondered once more as memories flashes in his mind once again, it haunts him, really hard... he snapped out as Endou called out everyone.

He smiled as he said "Please introduce yourself Misaki." she nodded "hai!". Misaki bowed politely "Konnichiwa Minna, Watashi wa Misaki Patricia desu, Yorushikugasimasu!" she said with a smile. Tenma and Shinsuke approaches "Nice to meet you Misaki-san!" she let out a giggled "Nice meeting you as well!"

Endou called out everyone's attention once more "Listen up, we will have an one-on-one today, so split into two groups, good luck!" everyone nodded "Minna, Ikuzo!" Tenma exclaims, "Hai!!" everyone said as they went to their respective groups in both side of the fields.

[GROUP 1: Kariya, Shindou, Shinsuke, Tsurugi, Hamano, Aoyama, Hikaru, Amagi]

[GROUP 2: Kirino, Tenma, Misaki, Hayami, Ichinos, Sangoku, Nishiki, Kuramada, Kurama]

They are prepared for the training session, within seconds after they went to their position, Aoi blows the whistled and it is the first group who will start the practice match, Hikaru passed the ball to Tsurugi, he start to dribbled towards the other side of the field, Nishiki blocked him, but he back passed to Hamano, which he caught it and continues to dribble the ball, and the training session has begun.

Endou is impressed on the training so far, but his focus is on Misaki, who is just standing there, observing the flow of the match. "Hmm..." he said while thinking on what she will do.. Meanwhile, the managers just watch the match as well.

"Everyone is all pumped up.." Aoi said and Akane agrees while taking pictures "mhm, Shin-sama is amazing.." Aoi just sweatdrop of her usual action, Midori is wondering about Misaki, she seems interesting on what she can do.

"Hikaru!" Aoyama said as he passed it to Hikaru, who is next to Ichino, where he is trying to block his way "Hai!" he said as he caught the ball, dribbling it to the goal, In the defense side of Group 2, is Kirino, Misaki, and Kuramada. Both Kirino and Kuramada tried to stop him but they failed to do so, Hikaru was now close to the goal, however, Misaki stood there, Otonashi was confused, but Endou somehow understood her strategy.

Sangoku is already preparing himself to protect the goal "Show me what you got, Hikaru!" he said, determined he could block his goal. Hikaru nodded and was about to kick the ball to the goal in full force until...

"Thorn Capture!!!"

A sudden voice can be heard, amid time, thorn vines suddenly appear on the ground where Hikaru is currently standing, wrapping around him and causing him to fall, everyone is completely shocked.

"H-huh? I.. I can't move!" Hikaru said feeling a bit fear, but before he could even struggle to break free, a shadow came towards him and it was Misaki. "Don't worry, it won't hurt you..." she said with a smile on her face.

"Just don't move or even try to break free, alright?" she added as she took the ball, they were still in the state of shock, witnessing her behind the sudden hisssatsu. Without any second, she dashes as she dribbles the ball.

Tenma was amazed "Sugoi ne...!" he said. The match continues on as Misaki has the ball, Aoyama rushes to steal it. "I won't let you pass!" he said as he blocked her and tried to get the ball, unfortunately, she started to play the ball using her feet like she was...dancing?

"N-nani?" Aoyama looked at her in disbelief as he tried to keep up with her pace, but before he could do so, Misaki passed the ball to Hayami "Hayami-san, here!" she said as he caught the ball "H-hai!" he said as he dribble the ball. Otonashi is quite impressed "Whoa, she has keen eyesight, even her moves are... extraordinary..." she said as she continued to watch as Endou smiled.

[MINUTES PASSED BY]

Training continues as group 1 has the ball this time, Kariya was dribbling the ball as Kurama tries to block him, yet he passed it to Amagi before Ichino could steal it, he passed it to Shindou. Tenma charges at him as he was about to steal the ball yet Shindou just used his hissatsu technique

"Presto.. Turn!!"

He just passed Tenma swiftly as wind suddenly appeared in front of Tenma. He continues to dodge possible steal from other members who tried to block him, Misaki looked at him in awe, she couldn't help but stare at his movement for quite a moment, and she let out a smile.

...

"No matter what you do... I admire you from afar..."

...

She started to dance as he was coming towards him, his eyes locked on her once again, full of surprises yet amazed at how graceful her moves were, apparently, he noticed the light particles start to appear around her, where colorful lights appear on the ground that follows her dance steps with beautiful melodies can be heard, it sounds so harmonious, it is quite distracting. As she stopped dancing, their eyes met like no other, and suddenly took the ball in a speed of light as the particles flowed along with her.

"Allegro Rhythm!!" she said as she quickly dribbled the ball and passed it to Ichino, he successfully caught it. Shindou just stared at her and her movements while Misaki just remained focused on the training session.

Endou continued to observe the training and looked at Misaki "She sure does have a lot of strength and she is pretty unpredictable to catch up.." he thought as he smirked a little "Heh... you're right all along... Coach Kudou.."

[MORE MINUTES PASSED]

The others are still focusing on the training as they showcase their hissatsu techniques and other skills they developed.

"Soyokaze Step!!" Tenma said as he dodged Hamano and now targeted the goal. "I'm ready!" Shinsuke said as he was now in a position to protect the goal, unfortunately, Tsurugi blocked him, where he tried his best to avoid him but Tsurugi took the ball. The other members tried to block him but failed.

Kuramada and Kirino tried to block him, but they failed as Tsurugi summoned his Avatar "Keshin... Lancelot!!" He said as he kicked the ball in full force, Sangoku is getting ready to catch the ball, but he saw Misaki in front of him hoping she would block the ball.

"Misaki, wait! It's too strong!" he warned her, Kirino was also alarmed "Misaki, get out of there!" he said as he went near her, Tenma did the same thing. What she did was unexpected, She started to shout as an Avatar appeared, It's appearance depicts Filipino warrior clothing, holding a pole arm and it has different ancient accessories. "Warrior princess of Tawalisi, Urduja!!" Tsurugi was shocked upon seeing her Avatar

"Is she a former SEED or...?" he thought as his avatar disappeared.

She tried to stop the ball with her avatar, but failed as her avatar disappears and fall on to the ground, the force of the ball reduced as Sangoku caught it, he felt the force yet it wasn't that strong.

He looked at Misaki "Daijobu, Misaki-san??" he said in a concerning tone, she just gave him a thumbs up and wink "Daijobu desu, Sangoku-senpai!" she reassured. All the members were stood in silence as they witness everything from her.

"Did you guys see that..?" Amagi said as he is still state of shock

"That was unexpected.." Hamano replied, while trying to act chill.

"That kinda scare me a bit.. She is so unpredictable.." Hayami commented as he shiver in fear.

"Whoa... the way she played soccer, its like a professional.." Aoi said as Midori nodded "Mhm, not to mentioned that even dances in the field.." she remarked.

"Amazing..." Akane said as she takes pictures once more

[AFTER PRACTICE]

It was finally over and everyone took a break from the practice, Tenma and Shinsuke approached Misaki full of thrill and amazement.

"You're so amazing back there!" Tenma exclaimed as his eyes were filled with sparkles "It is like you can play professionally! Please teach us, Misaki-senpai!" Shinsuke added that he is in the same state as Tenma. She just let out a chuckled "Awww.. Arigato, I'm also impressed by your skills you two." she smiled as she saw Midori and Aoi approach her.

Midor smirked and wrapped her one arm around her shoulders "You are a natural player, I'm surprised! You're much more than I expected!" she said as Misaki chuckled escaping from her mouth but deep down, she was feeling nervous.

Aoi just smiled at her "You did wonderful, Misaki-senpai! I'm sure we will get along pretty well!" she said. Misaki hearing this making her smile widely "Hai! I can't wait!"

...

"Welcome Back, Misaki."

...

The managers and the first years were confused, they looked behind them, it was Endou who said it, Everyone started to look at them, it seemed like they knew something that some didn't know quite yet.

Hikaru suddenly asked "Kantoku, What do you mean "Welcome Back"? Isn't Misaki a new member?" Kariya agreed "Yes Coach, she just recruited here today, maybe you meant "Welcome to the Team"." he said in a confused tone.

Endou just smiled, he is fully aware that some of them didn't know her full background, he took a deep breath and smiled.

"Misaki is a former Raimon Member..."

The first years and the managers were shocked as the rest just watched them react to his statement as they looked at Misaki, who just smiled. The whole team remain silent.

...

...

"Eh???!!!!"
