Chapter 33 Strikers' Duel
The whistle from Coach Ramirez echoed across the field of Crown Meridian Academy.
The practice match began instantly.
Adrian stood at the center line.
Across from him…
Rafael Navarro stretched his neck and smiled.
It wasn't hostility.
It was familiarity.
Two strikers who had trained together many times before.
Tyler jogged beside Adrian.
"This feels like old times."
Adrian nodded slightly.
"Yeah."
The ball rolled forward.
Kickoff.
First Attack
Tyler tapped the ball toward Adrian.
Adrian controlled it smoothly.
But Rafael immediately pressed him.
"Let's see how much you improved," Rafael said with a grin.
Adrian smirked.
"You first."
He feinted left.
Rafael reacted instantly.
But Adrian flicked the ball between his legs.
The crowd gasped.
Tyler shouted.
"OOHH!"
Adrian sprinted past him.
Two defenders rushed forward.
Adrian didn't slow down.
He cut inside the penalty box.
Shot.
GOAL.
1-0
The net snapped violently.
Students around the field erupted in cheers.
Tyler ran toward Adrian laughing.
"First blood!"
Rafael only chuckled while jogging back.
"Still sharp."
Adrian replied calmly.
"Your turn."
Rafael Responds
Kickoff resumed.
This time Rafael received the ball first.
Tyler whispered from midfield.
"Here comes the cannon."
Rafael dribbled forward powerfully.
A defender tried to block him.
Rafael pushed past him easily.
Then another defender.
He stepped just outside the box.
Shot.
BOOM.
The ball rocketed into the top corner.
GOAL.
1-1
The crowd exploded again.
Tyler shook his head.
"Yeah… that's the Rafael we remember."
Adrian nodded slightly.
Rafael grinned.
"Equal."
The Duel Continues
The match intensified.
Both strikers attacked relentlessly.
Adrian moved like a shadow through defenders.
Rafael bulldozed through them with strength.
Students gathered closer to the field.
Phones recording everything.
Even Valentina Rousseau watched carefully from the sidelines.
Her eyes followed Adrian's every movement.
Meanwhile…
Isabella stood beside Rafael's teammates.
But her gaze kept drifting toward Adrian.

They hesitated.
That moment was enough.
He exploded forward.
One step.
Two steps.
Shot.
GOAL.

The crowd erupted once more.
Tyler sprinted toward him.
"You're unstoppable today!"
Rafael laughed while walking back.
"Show off."
Adrian smirked.
"Catch up."
Rafael's Power
Minutes later Rafael got the ball again.
He turned instantly.
Adrian ran beside him.
"Going alone again?" Adrian asked.
Rafael grinned.
"Always."
He blasted forward.
A defender slid.
Rafael jumped over the tackle.
Then shot from distance.
BOOM.
GOAL.
2-2
The net shook violently again.
Tyler groaned.
"He's ridiculous."
Adrian smiled slightly.
"Yeah."
Sideline Observations
Valentina crossed her arms proudly.
"They're both monsters."
One of the students asked her.
"Who do you think is better?"
Valentina smiled softly.
"Adrian."
Across the field Isabella watched silently.
Her expression unreadable.
Final Attack
Coach Ramirez shouted from the sideline.
"Last play!"
Tyler passed the ball toward Adrian again.
Adrian controlled it perfectly.
Rafael immediately ran toward him.
"Final round?" Rafael said.
Adrian nodded.
"Final round."
Both of them sprinted toward the goal.
The defenders panicked.
Adrian feinted left.
Rafael tried to intercept.
But Adrian suddenly flicked the ball upward.
Volley.
BOOM.
GOAL.
3-2
The entire field exploded with cheers.
Tyler jumped on Adrian's back laughing.
"GAME!"
Coach Ramirez blew the whistle.
Match over.
Rafael walked over smiling.
"Alright."
He extended his fist.
"You win today."
Adrian bumped fists with him.
"You'll get another chance."
Rafael chuckled.
"Oh I know."
After Training
As players left the field…
Valentina walked toward Adrian.
Without saying anything—
She kissed him.
Quick.
Soft.
Then another.
Tyler covered his eyes dramatically.
"GET A ROOM!"
Valentina laughed.
"You jealous?"
Tyler shook his head.
"Absolutely not."
Adrian just smiled quietly.
But across the field…
Isabella watched them.
And for the first time…
Something in her expression looked complicated.
Far Away
Inside Ravenwood Football Institute…
Dante Cruz watched the footage of the training match.
Adrian's goals.
Rafael's shots.
Dante smiled slowly.
"Interesting."
He placed a ball on the ground.
Then shot.
BOOM.
The net shook violently.
"Adrian Montiero…"
He cr
acked his neck.
"Soon."
Will Adrian's next challenge be Rafael again… or the terrifying Dante Cruz?
