Tension rose in the penalty box as everyone kept pushing each other around. Higo also narrowed his eyes, finding the surroundings to be far from ideal.
'I am getting locked down here.' He thought grimly.
The boy tried to step a little bit aside, but he was pushed by the crowd once again. It was a subtle manipulation, but whenever he moved, someone from Sappotani would push Hakodate Nishi's defender, which would also affect his space.
It was a subtle and clever strategy, and since no one from the opponent's side was close enough to Higo, the referee just turned a blind eye, seeing this as a normal clash in the penalty box.
Higo was completely chained, unable to make a move.
'Shit! What kind of devious strategy is it?!' The boy cursed, anxiety built up inside him. 'No, I have to think about something! Anything!'
