"ARGH!"
Mamoru's first reaction was to scream while holding his ankle, rolling on the ground like he was in pain. It wasn't something that he planned to do, but his instinct, honed by so many hard collisions in the front line, flared at the last second, demanding him to act.
"Sensei, foul!" He turned at the referee, complaining.
Unfortunately, the man was in a good position to see everything earlier, and while yes, Mamoru didn't dive, the tackle itself was clean, getting the ball perfectly from the boy's possession. He just shook his head, waving his hand to signal Mamoru to get up as quickly as possible.
Mamoru just sighed helplessly, getting up from the ground while also trying to check that the fall earlier didn't hurt him at all. The boy also glanced at the culprit behind his fall, finding the opponent's number 17 to do the same as him.
