Blue prison monster

Kyohei Shigu nodded, while Maryu Madara repeated his mantra:

“I'll go with the flow!”

Team B's ball, Kudo Juya kicks off from the center circle!

After the kickoff, Kudo Juya dribbled the ball towards Team A alone. Shido Ryusei excitedly shouted,

“Hey, are you ready to explode, Juya-chan~”

“Hmph, crush them!”

While speaking, Kudo Juya entered Team A's attacking zone and directly faced Banjou Ryuga.

On the left, Shido Ryusei faced Itoshi Rin. It was truly a king against a king, a general against a general.

The other six players, including Barou Shoei, didn't force their way into their battlefield.

Although he was arrogant, he wasn't stupid. He knew that he wasn't on the same level as those four right now.

Only by being like a lion waiting for its prey could he ultimately reap the perfect harvest!

“It's my turn to attack this time. Fall, Banjou Ryuga!”

Kudo Juya's pupils turned scarlet, and the blood-red pentagram lit up, representing the re-activation of Kudo Juya's 'Eyes of God'!

“Heh, the one who should fall is you!”

Seeing Kudo Juya in this state, Banjou Ryuga naturally went all out, fully releasing his 'Slow-Motion World'!

But an awkward thing happened. Neither of them made the next move, both waiting for the other to act first.

In the end, Banjou Ryuga couldn't hold back. After all, even though Banjou Ryuga awakened 'Slow-Motion World,' it didn't change his personality of liking head-on confrontations.

“Do you like standing around?”

The moment Banjou Ryuga made a blocking move, the battle between the two began.

As Banjou Ryuga blocked Kudo Juya, Kudo Juya pulled the ball back with his right foot and then charged to Banjou Ryuga's right.

Banjou Ryuga also blocked to the right at the same time. Kudo Juya's expression didn't change at all.

He flicked the ball to the left, and then the two charged to the left almost simultaneously.

The two tangled back and forth for several rounds, unable to determine a winner.

“Damn it!! Can you stop buzzing around in front of me like a fly!”

While speaking, Kudo Juya seemed to give up and recklessly charged to Banjou Ryuga's left.

The moment Banjou Ryuga blocked to the left, Kudo Juya turned and flicked the soccer ball with his heel. He wanted Banjou Ryuga to think he was taking a gamble.

In reality, he wanted Banjou Ryuga to be careless and then unexpectedly flick the ball away.

Because Kudo Juya was very clear about the weakness of the 'Eyes of God,' he was very confident that he could get past Banjou Ryuga this way.

But Banjou Ryuga's mouth curled up, revealing a triumphant smile.

Through continuous exchanges, Banjou Ryuga finally noticed something: Kudo Juya hadn't completely guessed his ability.

(Heh, this guy must have understood my ability as something similar to his.)

(That's right, how could he guess such an outrageous skill like 'Slow-Motion World'?)

(Forget it, I should remind him, after all, I can't hide it.)

“Juya, you guessed wrong. The price is getting the ball stolen by me!”

“Damn it! What exactly is your ability?”

The shock in Kudo Juya's eyes was unparalleled. This was the first time he had the ball stolen after awakening his 'Eyes of God'.

Banjou Ryuga didn't give Kudo Juya a chance to continue intercepting him. He directly cut the ball with his heel, flicking the ball to the right.

Banjou Ryuga only did this for one reason: after he successfully intercepted the ball, a figure suddenly rushed over at an extremely fast speed.

It was as if he had been waiting for this moment. Unfortunately, all of this was clearly seen by 'Slow-Motion World'.

(So dangerous, Barou. If you hadn't appeared in my field of vision, I really wouldn't have been able to capture you.)

(But I also want to thank you for making me realize a weakness of 'Slow-Motion World'!)

(If Barou had been in my blind spot from beginning to end, without appearing in my field of vision, then 'Slow-Motion World' would have been ineffective!)

(I must pay attention in the future. After activating 'Slow-Motion World,' I must always pay attention to the movements of everyone on the field, especially the movements of the opponent!)

Barou Shoei had been lurking for so long, but he didn't expect to be resolved by Banjou Ryuga just like that. He roared very unwillingly.

“Don't think you can get past me like this!!”

Banjou Ryuga didn't even look at him. To Banjou Ryuga, Barou Shoei was no longer on the same level as him.

Now, Banjou Ryuga was most concerned about the actions of Kudo Juya and Shido Ryusei.

(Is Ryusei coming over? Hmm? Strange, where is Juya going?)

(Tsk, is Hiori being marked to death? Shigu is actually matching up against Hiori. Isn't this bullying an honest person?)

Banjou Ryuga noticed Kiyose Ichigo making a reaching motion out of the corner of his eye.

(Kiyose? Well, it's also good. It's a bit of a waste of time to dribble the ball myself. Once I'm entangled by Juya, I'll definitely have to fight a hard battle.)

Thinking this, Banjou Ryuga passed a ground-hugging curve ball to Kiyose Ichigo, who had run to the middle position of Team B's attacking zone.

At this time, Kiyose Ichigo hadn't even reached out his hand when he saw that the ball had already arrived in front of him.

(Eh? I haven't even reached out to ask for the ball yet. How did Ryuga know that I wanted him to pass the ball to me?)

(Is it telepathy? Or did Ryuga learn mind reading in his spare time?)

Without time to think, Kiyose Ichigo quickly dribbled the ball towards Team B's inner field, because Kiyose Ichigo noticed out of the corner of his eye that Shido Ryusei was only a few meters away from running in front of him.

“Kiyose! I'm by your side!”

“Nanase? Okay, I'll leave it to you!”

(Great, with Nanase here, at least I'm not charging forward with the ball alone!)

(Quick! Dribble the ball as deep as possible!)

(Before the enemy's formation returns to its position, we'll rely on the two of us to destroy the enemy's defense!)

Just as Kiyose Ichigo was about to pass the ball to Nanase Nijiro and then the two would cooperate to get past Madara Maryu, a voice suddenly rang out.

“Dealing with ordinary people is indeed much easier.”

“Ha? Kudo Juya?! How are you here?”

Kiyose Ichigo stared blankly at Kudo Juya, who appeared beside him.

On the other side, Banjou Ryuga shook his head helplessly. He also understood the meaning of Kudo Juya's movement just now.

(This guy predicted that I would pass the ball from my actions, and then his 'Eyes of God' shifted its target.)

(He observed Kiyose's reaching motion, then first made irregular movements to confuse me, and finally rushed to Kiyose's side at the last moment.)

(What a calculation, Juya! Damn it! Even with 'Slow-Motion World,' I can't escape the fate of being calculated by Juya.)

Fortunately, Kiyose Ichigo had experienced the successive baptisms of Itoshi Rin and Banjou Ryuga.

So he quickly reacted from the shock and used all his strength to pass the ball out, but it was too forced.

Nanase Nijiro, looking at the ball with a very poor trajectory, could only change his movement and meet the incoming ball.

He wanted to protect the ball first no matter what, but Kudo Juya, who had already seen through Kiyose Ichigo's movements, wouldn't have thought of this?

Shido Ryusei directly intercepted Kiyose Ichigo's pass on the way and smiled mockingly.

“Really, thank you for the pass~”
