The Blazing Tigers kicked off with fire in their boots.
Two fighters shifted into a rapid wall-pass pattern, bouncing the ball between them as they surged forward.
Bapala rushed in aggressively, eyes full of desire to win.
I got this!
But the Tigers played the ball one step faster, the second pass already slipping past his outstretched leg.
Bapala skidded to a stop.
He had been outplayed.
"Tch…"
The Tigers repeated the pattern down the left side, this time targeting another Neo Genesis Fighter.
They slipped past him too.
Just as they were about to break through—
A shadow cut the passing lane.
Tsebo.
He intercepted the ball mid-stride, trapping it effortlessly before the Tigers even realized what happened.
"Too predictable," he said, voice cold.
One Tiger lunged at him with a frustrated, "Why you—?!"
Tsebo slid his body out of the way with surgical precision, letting the tackle miss by centimeters.
Without hesitation, he snapped a pass forward.
Straight to Bapala.
Bapala inhaled sharply.
A grin spread across his face.
"It's time for a software test."
The first opponent pressed instantly.
FirstBlow
Bapala accelerated to top speed, tapping the ball toward the challenger as if offering it up.
The opponent reached for it—
But Bapala flicked the ball to the side in the same instant slicing the wind like a blade.
Codevalidated.
Another opponent stepped up.
Bapala kicked the ball to the right, a clean feint.
The moment the oppoment bit, shifting his weight—
Bapala cut left past him, flowing like still water but deadly like waves in a thunderstorm.
The more I do this… the easier it gets.
Only one opponent remained between him and the penalty box — the Tigers' last defense.
Bapala tapped the ball to the left.
The defender took the bait—
Then Bapala switched direction and cut to the right
But then he recovered instantly, matching Bapala's pace.
"Fast…" Bapala muttered.
Fine.
Addanotherlayer.
He tapped left again — a sharper, quicker touch through the gap
— and the defender tried to lunge in the new direction
but his legs gave out and he fell in a way that made him split.
The defender was left stumbling behind him.
The defender wasnt expecting another move after the two taps.
The crowd laughed at the defenders humiliation.
Open space.
Last defender defeated.
Ahead of him:
1v1 with the goalkeeper.
The crowd erupted as Bapala closed in on the goal.
The New Update… was successful
