Chapter 100: Shut Up and Score a goal for Me!

"At that distance, how could he possibly reach it?"

Oliver was surprised. He, who could always make the right choices, hesitated at this moment.

He believed that the pass was too forced, and Ryusei shouldn't be able to reach it. That's why Oliver didn't go for the defense, as it would risk being out of position!

But an instinct that sensed danger made Oliver move a few steps toward that direction.

Meanwhile, Ryusei suddenly accelerated, seemingly faster than before.

However, the ball had a very high arc, and it seemed like Ryusei wouldn't be able to reach it.

Yet, he suddenly exerted force from his foot, leaping high into the air, spinning his body. His body was completely tilted, almost parallel to the ground.

"Kira! You're indeed impressive! But I won't easily give up the protagonist's role to you!"

Ryusei shouted in excitement, the muscles of his right leg tense. With a highly difficult move, he kicked the ball!

A powerful shot aimed directly at the U20 goal!

"Ryusei, did you also enter the FLOW?"

Ego murmured to himself. Although it was just a movement, Ego could feel that Ryusei had elevated his speed and power in this instant.

"Is it because of the challenge he felt after witnessing Kira's goal? No, not only that, there was also Yoichi's pass, as if testing the limits of Ryusei. It's not like his previous style..."

While Ego contemplated, he observed Rin beside him using his peripheral vision.

At this moment, Rin had a towel over his head, his expression unclear. He sat silently on the bench, seemingly no longer focused on the match.

"Rin cannot coexist with Ryusei, but Yoichi's football just had a shadow of Rin In a certain sense, has he achieved the fusion of their playing styles? Interesting. That's why I chose to keep Yoichi on the field instead of having Hiori Yo organize, because only you can control that demon at this moment. Let me see what you can achieve."

Ego nodded and continued to focus his attention on the field.

"Score for me!"

At this moment, Ryusei let out a loud shout. However, he lost his balance and fell to the ground, but his gaze remained fixed on his previous shot.

Dragon Drive!

"Don't think you can score!"

And in that instant, Oliver rushed out, desperately blocking the ball!

The tip of his foot touched the ball, successfully altering its trajectory, avoiding the goal. Instead, it flew over the goal line from above!

"Tsk!"

Ryusei lying on the ground frowned unhappily.

"That was close!"

Oliver stumbled but managed to maintain his balance.

He successfully cleared the ball

But it was extremely close.

Oliver felt relieved in his heart that he had trusted his instinct and moved a few steps forward. Without those steps, he wouldn't have been able to block that ball at all.

Otherwise, Ryusei would have scored another point!

It was impossible to shoot from that position and in that posture.

But Ryusei was able to do it.

"This guy suddenly awakened, it seems."

Oliver wiped the sweat off his forehead and couldn't help but sigh.

"Not because of himself, but because of that person."

Beside Oliver, Sae spoke slowly.

"It looks like he has successfully tamed that lower demon."

On the other side, Yoichi felt regretful as the ball was stopped by Oliver.

The area he passed the ball to was where Kira couldn't reach in time.

The reason Yoichi dared to do it was that Ryusei was closer

At the same time, he placed all his hopes on Ryusei's abilities with this ball.

Speed, reaction, instincts

And the desire to score.

"Just a little more. We haven't equalized the score yet. We need to go further, further!"

Yoichi clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles made a crisp sound.

"Hey, Yoichi!"

At that moment, Ryusei walked over to Yoichi and patted his shoulder.

"That pass just now was pretty good. Just a little more. From now on, keep this..."

"Stop talking, genius. Your only task is to kick that damn ball into the goal!"

And in that instant, Yoichi suddenly scolded Ryusei in a reprimanding tone, surprising Ryusei.

Ryusei had a very bad temper, often committing fouls during matches, and even getting into fights over small issues off the field. So the other people in the Blue lock generally wouldn't provoke him and certainly wouldn't speak to him in that tone.

But now, Yoichi spoke to Ryusei in that manner, while his gaze remained fixed on the U20 team's goal, as if Ryusei was insignificant.

The strong desire to win transformed Yoichi into a completely different person.

Ryusei was taken aback, staring at Yoichi. During the starting selection in the Blue lock, Yoichi had a similar reaction.

In the past, Ryusei would have immediately retorted against the other person. But at this moment, he didn't continue the confrontation and instead smiled.

"I know, I know,"

Ryusei greatly appreciated Yoichi's pass just now. Such a pass could maximize his attacking abilities.

What he needed was someone who could set him free on the field.

"The ball crossed the goal line, so we should have a corner kick next."

Ryusei said,

"I'll take the corner kick!"

"And what's your plan?"

Yoichi squinted his eyes and looked at Ryusei.

"I'm planning to score directly from the corner kick!"

Ryusei said with a smile. That was his style, using every method possible to attack the opponent's goal.

"Is that all you've got?"

Yoichi said slowly, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

"This approach won't lead to a goal, without a doubt."

Ryusei was taken aback. Yoichi's words were very direct.

With the presence of Oliver and Kira, scoring directly from a corner kick was extremely difficult, not to mention that it was the least effective attacking method.

"Use your imagination a little. Such thinking is meaningless. Follow my instructions and act accordingly. Don't waste any more opportunities!"

There was an authoritative tone in Yoichi's voice that couldn't be disobeyed.

Ryusei carefully looked at Yoichi. In that instant, he felt a shadow of Sae on him.

The arrogance that surpassed others and the ability to give teammates excellent passes

No, although they were similar, they were completely different.

Sae's passes set traps for the defenders and immediately found the best position for his teammates to cooperate.

But Yoichi was slightly different.

His passes were like commands, making teammates appear in certain positions and forcing them to do certain things.

This was a completely different style from Sae's, and if you had to compare, it was somewhat similar to Rin.

"I got it! Okay!"

Ryusei said with a smile, and then he gave up the opportunity for the corner kick.

Beside them, Kenyu and others heard their conversation and were all surprised.

Yoichi is usually a very friendly person and has a good relationship with the people in the Blue lock.

But today, they saw another side of Yoichi.

During halftime, Yoichi spoke threateningly to Ego. And now, he was speaking to Ryusei without any courtesy.

Surprisingly, Ryusei wasn't angry either.

"Although I don't mean any disrespect, should we really let Yoichi take the corner kick?"

Kenyu approached with some confusion and asked.

Although Yoichi had scored a goal earlier, his overall ability in the Blue lock was recognized as one of the worst. It would be a better choice to let someone else take it.

"It's Yoichi, alright! He's the right choice!"

But Ryusei didn't give others a chance to question it and directly pushed Yoichi towards the side.

"Blue lock team, corner kick!"

With the referee's voice, Yoichi walked to the spot to take the corner kick.

"Just now, Ryusei completed a difficult shot, but fortunately, Oliver interfered in time and cleared the ball. It's a pity. I wonder if the Blue lock team can create more miraculous shots!"

The commentator's voice was filled with excitement, and the audience in the stadium had already started chanting the name of the Blue lock.

"They're all cheering for the Blue lock, just as Ego said, we have already stepped into the world, and for the Blue lock, we have indeed won..."

Yoichi murmured to himself, while looking around. The audience in the venue seemed as small as ants in his eyes.

He was no longer nervous like when he first stepped onto the field. On the contrary, he had only one thought in his mind.

And that is to win!

No matter what happens to the Blue lock afterwards, Yoichi doesn't care!

There is nothing more important than victory at this moment.

For victory, he must give it his all.

At this moment, Yoichi used his Metavision to observe the entire situation on the field.

The area between the goalposts was crowded with people. The U20 members were there to defend, while the Blue lock forwards were there to seize any opportunity to score!

Ryusei was also among them.

At this moment, Ryusei was staring at Yoichi, wanting to see what tactics he would use.

Looking at Yoichi's determined eyes, Ryusei knew that he would definitely not disappoint him.

"Kira is the toughest guy in the U20 team, but if it's Yoichi..."

A certain thought arose in Ryusei's mind, almost like an intuition.

Yoichi already had a plan in mind, to evade the defense of Kira and Oliver and score, there was only one way to do it

That was to pass the ball to a spot only Ryusei could reach!

Kira had exceptional individual prowess and could accurately judge the trajectory of the pass.

However, Yoichi's Metavision was his greatest advantage.

Yoichi felt as if he had activated a god's eye view, seeing every person's position and every inch of space on the field with utmost clarity.

There it is!

Yoichi took a step back and then swiftly moved forward, aiming at a specific spot and delivering a powerful kick!

Everyone instinctively moved towards the area near the goal, but there was one person doing the opposite!

Ryusei!

Instead of moving towards the inside, he was moving towards the outside!

Ryusei possessed unparalleled instinct and had already deduced the intention as soon as Yoichi kicked the ball.

The Yoichi would pass the ball to a spot only he could reach, where others couldn't!

"Is it the outside?!"

Oliver watched Ryusei's movement and immediately ran towards the outside to chase and defend. However, Ryusei had prepared for this and was a step ahead of everyone else!

This one step gave Ryusei a significant advantage.

And all of this was within Yoichi's prediction, unfolding according to the pre-set script.

An excited smile blossomed on Ryusei's face. His focus intensified, and he unleashed even greater power.

FLOW!

Although Yoichi's pass couldn't reach the perfect level like Sae, it had a slight flaw, but its trajectory seemed to challenge Ryusei's limits.

"Watch closely, Yoichi!!"

Ryusei jumped high, and the full force of his body erupted in his right leg.

Shot!

There is a certain distance between here and the goal, but it is still within Ryusei's shooting range!

"Don't even think about scoring, you brat!"

Oliver roared while charging towards the trajectory of the ball, leaping high and raising his foot, aiming to intercept the ball in mid-air!

But just as Oliver was about to touch the ball, the ball suddenly changed its trajectory in mid-air!

A reverse curve!

"What!?"

Oliver's eyes widened, completely caught off guard by Ryusei's unexpected move.

"You've made a big mistake!"

A wolfish smile appeared on Ryusei's face.

"In life, there are countless things to prove one's worth, and for me, this thing is football! Watch closely, this is my performance on the stage!"

As he shouted loudly, the ball directly rushed into the net!

3-3!
