Chapter 55: Burst of Determination

"Is he going to receive it like that?!"

A look of immense excitement appeared on Bachira's face. He knew that this match was becoming more and more thrilling.

He kicked the ball with force, sending it with a speed and angle!

"Isn't that too high?!"

Gagamaru Gin looked at Bachira's pass with surprise. Even with his explosive reaction to jump, he might not be able to reach that ball.

"But if it's Kira, maybe he can."

"This guy definitely made a mistake! Quickly judge the landing spot!"

Mikage Reo, who had already been surpassed by Kira, shouted loudly. Several defenders immediately closed in, convinced that Kira would never be able to receive that pass.

But the rest of Team Z was completely different from them

They believed in Kira.

Because he was Kira, he could receive that pass.

At this moment, Kira had already rushed into the penalty area with incredible speed.

However, he suddenly stopped his footsteps, not pushing further, but instead leaping high into the air.

"Is he trying to head it?!"

Tsurugi Zantetsu widened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

It was absolutely impossible to reach the ball at this location, given both its height and speed. But soon, an even more astonished expression appeared on his face

Kira had leaped and reached a terrifying height.

"Is this guy flying?!"

Mikage Reo was also dumbfounded. The level of physical ability displayed by Kira was simply extraordinary!

Kira had already proven during his basketball training with Seirin that the explosive power brought by Thunderclap Flash could not only be used for shooting and breakthroughs but also significantly increase his jumping ability!

Moreover, Thunder Swarm allowed Kira to have greater control over the flight arc of the ball, enabling him to better judge the trajectory of other passes.

This was the perfect position for a header!

Kira forcefully collided with the ball using his head, hitting it with precision!

Neither the goalkeeper nor the defenders had even considered that Kira would attempt a header from this position at this moment!

Goal!

2-1!

Team Z once again gained the advantage!

"Just how terrifying is this guy's jumping ability?"

Mikage Reo's body trembled slightly. Kira's jumping ability had reached a frightening level.

"We didn't see any relevant information in the previous matches. Is this guy also hiding his true strength?"

.....

"Can he receive a ball like that?"

Inside the control room, Teieri Anri exclaimed.

"Don't be so surprised, Anri."

Ego covered his ears with both hands.

"After all, this is Kira. If anyone can do it to this extent, it's within reason."

Although Ego said so, deep down, he was still very astonished when he saw Kira jump for the header.

That terrifying jumping ability completely exceeded his expectations.

"Nagi Seishio's extraordinary ball control is already at a monster level... and Kira's astonishing header is the same."

Teieri Anri couldn't help but swallow saliva, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"This is simply a match between two monsters."

"That's right, they are both monsters, but in the end, only one of them will survive the battle."

As Ego spoke, his right leg trembled uncontrollably.

In just a few offensive and defensive exchanges, Ego's blood was already boiling.

The excitement of this match surpassed every previous one.

...

"Great shot!"

"Wow, Kira, you're so cool! You can even receive a ball like that!"

"It looks like Team V isn't all that great after all!"

The other teammates of Team Z crowded around, surrounding Kira and celebrating together.

"Don't get too excited yet; it's not over."

Kira calmly responded,

"Nagi Seishio should start taking it seriously now. We can't afford to let our guard down."

Kira looked up

At this moment, his gaze met with Nagi.

"That guy..."

Mikage Reo's temples rubbed against each other, and his eye twitched.

This was the first time he felt a sense of crisis, as if failure was beckoning right in front of him.

From childhood to adulthood, as a privileged young man, Mikage Reo could obtain whatever he desired, including victory. He had never experienced the feeling of failure.

But at this moment, he had no foundation. The strong sense of pride made it impossible for Mikage Reo to accept the outcome of failure.

He had to win.

Nagi turned his head, shifting his gaze onto Mikage Reo. It was the first time he saw such an expression on Mikage Reo's face.

And that sparked a bit of interest in Nagi regarding this match.

The previous matches were too boring for Nagi since there was no competition. Victory came effortlessly.

Baro Shoei's individual strength is pretty good, but his team is a mess, posing no threat. The other two teams are even less capable of making Nagi feel a sense of crisis.

Just like a game, it's only fun when there's a challenge.

And now, for the first time, Nagi feels a sense of novelty. Kira from the opposing team is like a boss that needs to be conquered.

It's getting interesting.

"Reo, pass the ball to me more later."

Nagi said to Mikage Reo.

"Nagi..."

Mikage Reo was surprised. It was the first time Nagi expressed such a proactive desire to participate in the attack. He quickly nodded.

"Okay, I'll find a way to create opportunities! We must show Kira Ryosuke how formidable we are!"

"Mhm."

Nagi nodded.

Now it's Team V's turn to launch an attack again, but this time, Nagi is the one dribbling the ball, not Mikage Reo.

Nagi is now taking it seriously.

He quickly bypassed Isagi with great speed, and Bachira immediately came to defend, but Nagi easily passed him with a simple feint.

"This guy, he's also so skilled at dribbling?!"

Raichi couldn't help but exclaim.

While others were trying to defend Nagi, he suddenly hooked the ball with his right foot and passed it to the wing, to Tsurugi Zantetsu.

"I'm counting on you."

"It's the first time I've heard you make a request."

Tsurugi Zantetsu smiled slightly and immediately sprinted towards the wing at the fastest speed.

Nagi also started making off-the-ball runs, directly aiming for Team Z's goal!
