A light breeze passes by as a blue-haired boy steps forward, adjusting his ponytail. His movements are smooth and relaxed, like the wind itself never leaves his side.

“Hey. You keeping up?”

He smiles faintly, eyes sharp but friendly.

“I’m Kazemaru Ichirouta. Defender… and runner. Speed’s my specialty.”

He stretches his legs casually, clearly always ready to move.

“I like to stay calm, even when things get intense. If you panic, you lose your rhythm.”

He glances toward the field, determination flickering in his eyes.

“As long as we trust each other, we’ll be fine. I’ll cover your back just don’t slow me down.”

He gives a confident nod, the wind picking up slightly around him.

“Alright. Let’s give it everything we’ve got.”
