It was a good pass.
No, screw that. It was one hell of a pass.
The ball flew so lowly, hovering straight a few inches above Jun's height. The boy was the tallest one that Hakodate Nishi had, and if he couldn't reach that, no one would be able to touch this kind of ball.
Jun, bless his simple brain, wasn't ready for that kind of pass to get aimed at him. It was still the beginning of the game, and he still hadn't locked the opponent's players yet. So, his body reacted, with his eyes tracking the ball in the air while also ignoring those who lurked in the shadows.
It was a mistake, definitely. One that Higo foresaw coming.
Not only that, but his clairvoyance ability also warned the boy that the opponent's striker, not as tall as Jun, was already on the run. In the next two seconds, that boy would be able to catch Jun off guard, and with the defender falling behind, the striker would be standing against him directly.
