Chapter 62: Cannon shot!

"Let's seize the victory."

Kira shifted his gaze to V Team's goal.

"The outcome of this round's attack has already been determined. We need to show those big talkers what we're capable of."

"Yeah!"

"The winner will definitely be our Team Z!"

Kira's brilliant defensive play just now injected the entire team with renewed confidence, stabilizing their morale.

Next, it was time to give those who had mocked them a harsh lesson!

Iemon Okuhito kicked off for V Team, and Team Z launched their counterattack!

Kira dribbled past midfield.

"Stop him!"

Mikage Reo shouted anxiously. No matter what, they had to stop this goal.

"Got it!"

Tsurugi Zantetsu immediately stepped forward, attempting to block Kira and stop him in his tracks.

However, Kira effortlessly evaded him, not even needing to make any fancy moves, relying solely on his speed.

At this moment, Tsurugi Zantetsu was already exhausted from his previous all-out defense and was unable to produce the acceleration he had before. He posed no threat to Kira.

Just as Tsurugi Zantetsu was bypassed, a tall figure appeared in front of Kira.

Nagi.

Nagi's forehead was covered in sweat, and his gaze became more determined.

In his eyes, there was only Kira.

Nagi stared fixedly at Kira, determined not to let him distract him with any feints this time.

This time, he would lock down Kira for sure!

"The stalemate has lasted too long. It's time to break it."

And at this moment, Kira raised his leg.

The shooting motion!

"What?!"

Mikage Reo, who was ready to provide defensive support behind Nagi, was astonished.

"This is over 40 meters away?! Is he trying to shoot? What a foolish dream!"

Nagi was also puzzled. From such a distance, Kira actually wanted to take a shot?

Was it a feint?

No, from this distance, a feigned shot would never fool anyone.

Kira truly wanted to shoot!

Nagi, as a genius, keenly sensed the danger and immediately lunged forward, attempting to disrupt Kira's shot.

But at first, he thought the opponent would choose to accelerate and maintain distance. Coupled with that moment of hesitation, he missed the opportunity!

Kira has already taken the shot!

Full Concentration Breathing!

Thunderclap Flash!

And Thunder Swarm!

In this instant, Kira seemed to feel as if time had slowed down. He concentrated all his strength into his right foot.

Then, like an exploding bomb, it burst forth!

Boom!

As if the gods were enraged, a thunderous sound erupted on the field! The intense noise startled the other defenders of V Team.

Filled with power, the ball became like a heavy cannonball, hurtling forward.

Even though Nagi possessed unparalleled reflexes and tried to extend his leg to block it in the first moment, he was utterly powerless. The ball raced past Nagi at a super speed.

All he could feel was a fierce gust of wind sweeping past him.

"I must stop it!!"

Mikage Reo shouted, leaping up with all his might, also trying to disrupt this shot. But he couldn't reach it, which actually brought him some relief.

"The shot was too high!"

The angle of this shot was extremely high, leading Mikage Reo to conclude that Kira was just attempting to deceive them with a forced shot, ultimately being a blind try.

"No, it wasn't."

Kira simply said in a calm tone.

This shot was the fusion of three skills!

The Thunderclap Flash granted this shot a speed and power.

And the Thunder Swarm made this shot unpredictable!

Kira, in the instant of kicking the ball, controlled the rotation of the ball through the position of impact and adjustments in his shooting motion.

It was an ultra-high-speed curveball!

The ball directly approached the goal, and the high-speed rotation caused its trajectory in the air to change

Its target was none other than the blind spot of the goal!

The goalkeeper made a desperate dive, but there was simply no way to track the trajectory of this shot!

Goal!

The ball continued to tear at the net like a wild beast, only gradually coming to a stop after the anger had completely dissipated.

The entire stadium fell into a deathly silence.

Mikage Reo knelt on the ground, his smile from earlier completely vanished, as if his entire being had been drained of its soul.

What exactly just happened?

A shot from forty meters away?!

Terrifying speed, eerie curve?

Is it really something a human can achieve?

What kind of monster is Kira, after all!

At this moment, Mikage Reo felt immense regret. He regretted the big words he had spoken before the match.

Kira is a monster among monsters.

"Reo , quickly counterattack! There's still time, we still have a chance. If we score three more goals, we can still win!"

Beside Mikage Reo, Nagi hurriedly spoke, his competitiveness fully ignited, wanting to continue the game.

But Kira's shot had almost crushed the fighting spirit of their entire team.

Not only Mikage Reo, but the other teammates had also completely lost the desire to resist.

"We can't possibly defeat that kind of monster..."

"Saying that our V Team would easily win was just talking big."

"That's enough, it doesn't matter anymore. We've already secured our spot in the next round. There's no need to push ourselves so hard!"

"Funking Damit!"

On the other hand, Tsurugi Zantetsu, though unwilling, had no energy left to continue playing. Intense exertion had caused a cramp in his right leg, and he could barely even stand.

On the opposite side, Kira was already surrounded by his teammates, who were cheering!

This shot had already secured their victory!

"That was a shot from forty meters away!"

.....

In the control room, Ego Jinpachi watched the match and nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems there's only one true monster after all. The outcome of this game has already been decided."

"What a terrifying guy... Just how strong is Kira? He quickly defended against Nagi Seishio's shot and then proceeded to make an ultra-long-range shot. This guy is too frightening..."

Teieri Anri couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, he even makes me feel scared."

Ego pushed up his glasses.

"I'm afraid he could completely tear apart the entire Blue lock."

.....

Soon, the final whistle of the match sounded.

5-2

that was the final score of the game.

Before this, although Team Z had the advantage, Team V fought tooth, and the momentum of the game could have potentially turned in an instant.

However, Kira completely killed the game with his offense and defense in the first half, extending the point difference to two goals. With little time left in the second half, it would be very difficult for Team V to equalize the score.

Not only that, Mikage Reo's mentality had collapsed, losing all fighting spirit. Tsurugi Zantetsu had to leave the field early due to cramping in his right leg caused by the intense sprinting. The other teammates, from start to finish, were barely involved in the game. They were merely supporting the big three. After falling behind, they lost their fighting spirit because they believed they could secure their spot in the next round. The outcome of the final match had no real impact, so there was no need to push too hard.

In the end, Team V was left with only Nagi, who was still holding his ground in battle. But even if he had extraordinary talent, he couldn't compete with the entire Team Z.

The outcome of the match became predictable.

"No, no, no."

Mikage Reo knelt on the ground as if he had lost his soul, on the verge of tears. He had spoken the harshest words before the match, and in the end, he received the harshest blow.

Tsurugi Zantetsu sat weakly by his side, the pain from the cramp just beginning to subside. He felt extremely helpless but had no solution.

Nagi, on the other hand, stood there, allowing sweat to trickle down his cheeks. His heart pounded faster from the intense exercise, and his breathing became rapid.

For the first time, Nagi felt a sense of unwillingness in his heart.

It was his first experience of failure, and naturally, it didn't feel good.

But after the unwillingness, Nagi's interest in football as a sport grew.

He also became curious about what Kira had just said.

On the other side, Team Z successfully advanced to the next round with a perfect record. After returning to the dormitory, everyone began to cheer and celebrate madly.

"We're the first in the group!"

"A perfect record, we haven't lost a single game!"

Everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles, and at that moment, Kira heard a series of system sounds in his ears. He immediately opened the system interface.

[Congratulations! You have earned 210 points.]

[Host: Kira Ryosuke]

[Competitiveness Points: 210]

[Current Skills:]

[Thunder Breath - Full Concentration Breathing LV3 Proficiency: 31.17%]

[Thunder Breath - Thunderclap Flash LV3 Proficiency: 23.7% ]

[Thunder Breath - Rice Spirit LV2 Proficiency: 100% (Upgrade: 100 Points)]

[Thunder Breath - Thunder Swarm LV1 Proficiency: 100% (Upgrade: 50 Points)]

Perhaps because the opponent in this match was stronger than any previous team, coupled with the gradual improvement in the strength of his Z team teammates, Kira earned significantly more points in this match compared to previous ones.

After playing around with his teammates for a while, Kira immediately took out his phone and made a video call.

The match was over, and he definitely had to report the "work situation" to his girlfriend as soon as possible.

After just a few seconds, Riko's face appeared on the screen.

"How did it go, Kira?"

Finally receiving Kira's call, Riko's face blossomed with a bright smile.

Although she asked that way, since Kira contacted her right after the match, Riko could pretty much guess the result of the game.

Moreover, she could hear the loud noise coming from around Kira.

"Yeah, we won."

Kira replied with a smile.

"Wait, is Kira talking to his girlfriend?"

"Shh, don't disturb Kira!"

"Quiet, everyone!"

The previously noisy crowd immediately quieted down and turned their heads to look at Kira.

"Um... Hello, everyone!"

Although Riko felt a little embarrassed, she still greeted the others present.

Unlike before, this time Riko naturally accepted the title of "girlfriend."

After all, now she was Kira's officially recognized girlfriend.

Kira smiled and turned the screen around. The other ten members of the team squeezed into a small screen together and waved to Riko.

"Hello!"

"Thanks for the snacks! They were really delicious!"

...

...

...

"Oh, by the way."

Riko seemed to remember something and continued,

"Kira , did you finish the bear bento I made for you last time?"

"Yeah, I finished it."

Kira nodded, but his eyebrows twitched slightly.

After all, it was the loving bento that Riko woke up at 4 a.m. to make for Kira. Naturally, he had to eat it obediently.

"How did it taste?"

"Well... It was delicious!"

Kira swallowed and nodded.

Beside him, the other teammates fell silent in that instant.

Because on that day, they saw Kira, who was almost invincible, show a pained expression for the first time.

And they also saw the bento that was supposed to have a bear-shaped design, but it looked more like a demon returned from hell, with its teeth and claws.

However, they were smart enough to choose silence.

"That's good, that's delicious!"

Riko smiled happily.

She then continued chatting with Kira, and the others consciously left the dormitory and headed to the training field.

...

"We've finished the first round of matches. Do we still have to train today? I feel a bit exhausted."

"I don't know, anywhere is fine. We just can't stay in the dormitory now. I'm afraid I'll smell something sour and lose my mind."

"What should we do next? If all else fails, let's sit here and count together. By the way, don't any of you have girlfriends?"

"Shut up."
