[Even though the feed's started, Genda's quiet for a moment or so - it's unclear if he doesn't know the video's running, or if he's just nervous. But he does speak after a bit of silence, his face serious.]

Hello. I am... Er.
My name is Genda Koujirou - I am the goalkeeper of Neo Japan, if anyone is familiar with my team. I have a few questions, for those willing to listen and answer them. Please be respectful - I am new to all of this, so...

[How did Coach Hitomiko put it?]

... So backtalk won't be tolerated, alright?

[... Augh - he shakes his head at that, steeling himself again. Talking to presumably a lot of people - it's got him nervous. But his Coach wouldn't be nervous like this, and neither would the rest of his team!]

I want to know just a few things.
Was our world really "destroyed"? Is there real, tangible proof?
And where are we? Looking out the windows, there was only fog as far as I could see... it's odd.
Is there a way out of here?

[He pauses then, looking to the side, before looking back; he doesn't really want to believe there isn't, but...]

... If there is no way out, I have just a couple questions.
Is there a way to stay preoccupied? And what kind of animals live here?
Also, is there a soccer field? Or, at the very least, a field large enough for one?

Then fight with all you've got!

[He starts dribbling then, waiting until he's close enough to kick the ball hard towards the other.]

[whatpenguin]

[A normal shoot - that's easy to block, even without hissatsu techniques.

... But Kidou's gotten him nervous, so he does stumble just a bit. The ball is blocked, though!!

He picks it up and tosses it out of his imaginary penalty box, frowning.]

That's one!

[pengeen]

Alright, here I come!

[He keeps his serious frown on his face and gets ready for another shoot, kicking it with all of this power this time.]

[whatpenguin]

[Ah - a much stronger shoot! Maybe he'll...

Yeah. He uses the probably all too familiar Power Shield this time, and catches the ball as it falls from the air.]

Two!

[And then he tosses it, clenching his fists after he stands straight once more.]

I swear on my life, that ball will never see the back of this uniform!

1/3

[pengeen]

[He stops the ball with his foot and runs over one last time. His movements are a bit familiar and as he stops in front of the goal, Genda should recognize what he was about to do.]

Illusion...

2/3

[pengeen]

[pengeen]

Shoot!

[He kicks the ball towards the goal, and like Illusion Ball, the ball is split into three balls and moving around each other in a confusing manner. How will you stop this one, Genda?]

[whatpenguin]

[-- Oh, shit.

He's not sure what to do, so he's just falling back on what he's taught -

His fist raised in the air, he summons a bright flash of light, and...]

Drill Smasher...

V2!!

[He blocks one of them! But which one!?]

[pengeen]

{The other two balls go behind Genda and the one Genda had blocked--





--was an illusion after all. Kidou stands up straight and crosses his arms, a very smug smirk spread across his face]

I win.

[whatpenguin]

...


[Genda's arms drop to his side as he falls to his knees. How could he...]

... You really are a genius on the field, Kidou.
No wonder you were chosen.

[And at that he sits back on his knees, feeling thoroughly thrashed.
Kidou's such a good soccer player... Creating a shot, just like that...]

[pengeen]

[He walks over and holds his hand out.]

I've been practicing that shot for weeks.

[Because he's tired of not having a shot on his own tbh]

[whatpenguin]

[It takes a second, but he takes Kidou's hand and accepts the help up.]

It's a perfect shot; very impressive.

I thought you created it on the spot.

[pengeen]

[He helps him up then rubs the back of his head]

I'm not good enough to think of a shot on the spot.

[whatpenguin]

Ah, don't think of yourself like that. It's easy to assume such things because you are that good.

Your genius is what got you chosen to represent Japan, I'm sure of it.

[He lets go of Kidou's hand, and heaves a heavy sigh.]

... Will you allow me some time to think of my theatrics first, Kidou?

[pengeen]

Of course.
