Blue prison monster

24 hours later, inside the passage leading to the third selection round — — — —

“Alright, let’s go!”

(Let’s see what I can do against top players now!)

Watching Yoichi Isagi finish tying his shoelaces while squatting on the ground, Ryūga Banjō walked up with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, saying,

“You seem a little nervous, Isagi.”

“What’s wrong? Scared?”

Yoichi Isagi slowly stood up and replied,

“If I said I wasn’t scared, I’d be lying!”

“Haha, no matter how strong they are, we’re not weak either, okay?”

Jūbei Arisato also nodded in agreement, flicking his bangs with his hand, saying,

“Using your true self to fight is the most beautiful tactic!”

Seishirō Nagi touched the back of his head with his right hand, saying in a dazed manner,

“Speaking of which, if we lose, we won’t be directly eliminated, right?”

At this moment, Rin Itoshi, who was walking in the front, stopped at the exit, turned back to look at everyone, and said,

“Hey, get rid of those childish thoughts of yours!”

“No matter who the opponent is, we have to win.”

“Don’t hold me back, you immature small fries!”

“Haha, that’s Rin’s way of cheering people on, you’ll understand once you spend more time with him ~”

Ryūga Banjō didn’t care at all about Rin Itoshi’s murderous gaze. After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the arena.

Yoichi Isagi looked at Ryūga Banjō’s back, thinking with determination,

(Here I come!! World Selection!)

Inside the third selection round arena — — — —

At this time, the five members of the World Selection team, wearing white team uniforms, were already waiting for them on the field.

Looking at the five people with their auras fully unleashed, Ryūga Banjō couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth, thinking excitedly,

(Here they come! Let me see the gap between me and the world's top players!)

But he had read the original work, so he could roughly guess what these people were saying.

Jūbei Arisato could understand some of it. As for Seishirō Nagi, needless to say, this genius was also a genius in learning.

So he could also understand the gist of it.

Yoichi Isagi looked left and right, saying awkwardly,

“Uh, am I the only one who doesn’t understand?”

Ryūga Banjō nodded expressionlessly and said,

“Yeah, I can only understand the gist of it. These guys are mocking us.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Seishirō Nagi also stared at the World Selection team, his fighting spirit self-evident in his eyes.

At this time, Rin Itoshi walked directly in front of Dada Silva and Adam Blake, saying,

“Hey, what do you mean by that?”

“Is this match just a side job for you to earn extra money?”

Seeing Rin Itoshi take the initiative to talk, Yoichi Isagi said in surprise,

“Huh?! Rin?”

“Haha, I’ll secretly tell you, Rin learns English to read reports about his brother in foreign clubs ~”

Fortunately, Rin Itoshi was far away, and Ryūga Banjō’s voice was soft, so he didn’t hear what Ryūga Banjō said at all.

Otherwise, before the match even started, the two of them would have had a one-on-one match.

On the other side, the World Selection team also answered Rin Itoshi’s question. Dada Silva said with a mocking face,

“Yeah, that’s right!”

“If it weren’t for earning some extra money during our expeditions, why would we come to this kind of ghost place?”

“Isn’t that right? You womanizing uncle! You’re already 30 years old, right?”

Adam Blake replied dissatisfied,

“I’m only 26! Be careful, I’ll kill you, you miser!”

“I have a legitimate reason to travel. I want to wear a kimono and do ‘that’ with a Sakura Country woman.”

“Playing football is just a side thing, isn’t it, Cavazos?”

Pablo Cavazos replied with anticipation,

“Yeah, I want to go to ‘Harajuku’!”

“I want to see with my own eyes what the holy land of the cute superpower Sakura Country, ‘Harajuku,’ is like.”

Hearing Pablo Cavazos say this, Dada Silva leaned forward and laughed,

“You say that, but you still think you’re the cutest, right? Hahaha!”

Adam Blake also agreed,

“You baby-faced narcissist!”

Pablo Cavazos puffed out his cheeks, protesting with dissatisfaction,

“I’m the cutest 23-year-old in the world! Only Pikachu can compete with me!”

On the Red Team’s side, Jūbei Arisato played with his hair, saying calmly,

“These guys are just playing around in the match with us!”

“Yeah, it seems like we’re about to crush them!”

Ryūga Banjō looked at Seishirō Nagi’s burning fighting spirit, and his own fighting spirit also boiled over.

And Rin Itoshi was obviously full of anger, saying with a cold tone,

“Say what you want, top players!”

“I’ll crush you, making this Sakura Country trip a psychological shadow for you!”

The World Selection team’s three members’ faces didn’t change at all. Dada Silva even said with disdain,

“You’ve got a big mouth, kid.”

Just as Dada Silva wanted to say something more, Leonardo Luna appeared in time, stopping the argument that might have occurred between the two.

“Alright, alright, that’s enough.”

“The three of you are too immature!”

Then, Leonardo Luna looked at Rin Itoshi with a faint smile, saying,

“You’re Rin Itoshi, right? I heard Ego mention you.”

“I heard you’re Sae Itoshi’s younger brother? He’s very famous in ‘RE · AL’s’ youth training camp.”

“Since you’re his brother, you must also be very talented!”

“I’m looking forward to fighting you.”

“Speaking of which, you guys really come up with some crazy ideas, actually creating a project to make Sakura Country football the world’s number one.”

“It’s not as likely as a Spaniard becoming a sumo yokozuna.”

“Burning so much money on such a brainless project, Sakura Country is really great, so rich~”

After hearing Leonardo Luna’s words, Rin Itoshi said even more coldly,

“So you’re mocking us, you bastard!”

Leonardo Luna was stunned, then quickly explained,

“Huh?”

“Oh dear, sorry! I was praising you!”

Immediately afterward, Leonardo Luna showed a sunny smile.

“I think, betting your life on something that will never happen, Sakura Country is really the world’s number one masochist!”

After Leonardo Luna said this, the faces of the Red Team’s five members all darkened. Although Yoichi Isagi couldn’t understand, he could also feel that this guy was mocking them.

Ryūga Banjō’s face also turned cold, saying,

“After the kickoff, try to pass the ball to me. I’ll crush them with all my strength!”
