Blue prison monster

While Yoichi Isagi was pondering, a large screen behind Ego Jinpachi changed again, this time displaying photos of the World Selection Five.

"Accumulating little successes, bit by bit, to reach today."

"In the process of constantly exploring yourselves and perceiving the world, you've come to recognize your own shortcomings. For you all,"

"What exactly is the goal of 'Defeating the U-20 Japan National Team'?"

(I will realize my 'FLOW' on that big stage!)

(To find a way of scoring that I can currently 'immerse' myself in, and that belongs solely to me!!)

"You should understand now, right?"

"The day of the decisive battle against the U-20 National Team, only when all eleven 'Blue Lock' players on the field enter a state of 'FLOW,'"

"Will the door to victory open for the first time!" Ego Jinpachi, seeing that things were about right, announced in front of the screen.

"Alright, go and prepare, 'Blue Lock' team!"

"When this 'Ultimate Training Camp' ends, it will be the beginning of 'Blue Lock' overturning Japanese soccer and becoming a new generation of egoist group------"

"The whole world is waiting for your goals!!"

On the other side, the U-20 Japan National Team training camp...

"A little faster! Don't make the arc of your foot so big. When you shoot, make sure your shot power can score, don't use extra force."

"That's wasting your shooting time. You need to constantly refine your shooting power and posture to create the perfect shooting opportunity for yourself."

"Also, when you're looking for a shooting route, you can't be too early, but you can't look for it at the last minute either."

"The perfect timing is the moment you make your shooting motion. You need to seize that fleeting opportunity to find a shooting route!"

"Idiot, don't stop moving! When you're about to shoot, you need to train yourself to be in a state where you're not disturbed by anything!"

The one speaking was Itoshi Sae, with a serious face, while the one training on the field was Ryuga Banjou, who was suffering but happy.

"Uh, Sae-nii, wasn't I stopping to think in order to understand your meaning clearly?"

Itoshi Sae stared at Ryuga Banjou expressionlessly and continued.

"That's no good either! Your biggest weakness right now is that your brain can't quickly process information on the field, which will put you a level behind those top players."

"That is, unless you awaken that so-called 'Slow World,' otherwise your situation is extremely worrying."

"You can't become the world's best just by relying on a strong physique and speed!"

"Your most important thing right now is to evolve your thinking, the rest is secondary."

Ryuga Banjou himself had actually noticed what Itoshi Sae was saying, but he subconsciously ignored it.

After all, except for that one time with Kudo Toya, he hadn't encountered an opponent that 'Slow World' couldn't defeat at other times.

Now, after being reminded by Itoshi Sae, Ryuga Banjou realized that if he ignored his weakness and continued to develop 'Slow World,'

Could he really win against those world-class players? Just like Itoshi Sae said, slow on-field information processing wastes time.

Even if 'Slow World' makes up for that time, it only prevents him from being completely helpless when facing world-class players.

If he could develop a complete four-times 'Slow World,'

Ryuga Banjou was confident that he could fight those world-class players. Even if they used their full strength, he wouldn't be afraid.

But that would at most be a draw. What Ryuga Banjou wanted to do was to defeat and surpass these people!

So now Ryuga Banjou takes his weakness very seriously, but how easy is it to evolve?

A few hours later, Ryuga Banjou was drenched in sweat, and his mind was a little dazed.

"Alright, that's it for today, take a break."

"After that, just practice as I said." With that, Itoshi Sae turned and walked towards the exit of the training ground.

"Huh? Aren't you coming for the rest of the days, Sae-nii?" Ryuga Banjou, lying on the ground, quickly called out to Itoshi Sae, who was about to leave.

"Yeah, I have other things to do, I'm leaving first."

Ryuga Banjou looked at Itoshi Sae's departing back and muttered helplessly, "Alright, extra training!"

A few days later, inside the Blue Lock conference room.

One day left until the decisive battle..........

At this time, Ego Jinpachi looked at the assembled crowd, pushed up his glasses, and said, "Alright, everyone, you diamonds in the rough."

"Tomorrow is the decisive battle. Today, I will announce the starting lineup changes resulting from Ryuga Banjou's departure."

Hearing this, the boys of 'Blue Lock' stared nervously at Ego Jinpachi, especially those who hadn't been selected in the first announcement.

"First, let's talk about the changes to the original members. After five matches of testing, it's clear that Ryusei Shido and Rin Itoshi have zero chemistry."

"It might even devolve into a real PK in the end." At this point, Ego Jinpachi helplessly supported his forehead.

"In other words, in the five 'Adaptability Tests,' Ryusei Shido and Rin Itoshi"

"Didn't produce any chemical reactions from beginning to end!"

"In the end, out of all of you, only Toya Kudo can produce a chemical reaction with Ryusei Shido."

"Plus, the violent behavior during the selection, if that kind of thing happens in the match against U-20,"

"He will definitely get a red card, putting us in an extremely disadvantageous situation."

"For the above reasons, I don't think Rin Itoshi and Ryusei Shido should appear on the same pitch."

Hearing this, Ryusei Shido, who was sitting below, immediately said with a smile, "That's simple! Just kick Rin out of the starting lineup, right?"

"Heh heh, send you, you blond cockroach, onto the field? We might as well just give up."

"Haha, be careful I don't kick your head off in a moment, Rin!"

"If you have the ability, you can try!"

"Alright, Shido, listen to Ego-sensei's arrangements." Toya Kudo, sitting next to Ryusei Shido, tugged at his arm.

At this time, Ego Jinpachi continued to speak.

"Rin Itoshi's individual skills can allow the people around him to participate and produce a bonus effect."

"In comparison, Ryusei Shido, at this stage, except for Toya Kudo, can't form a coordinated link with anyone else."

"He belongs to the self-completion type!"

"So I decided that Ryusei Shido and Toya Kudo will enter the substitutes' bench."

"Toya Kudo can only maintain about half a game when he is at full power."

"And he is still the only one who can promote Ryusei Shido's evolution, so he will be deployed in the second half as a trump card!"

"Ryusei Shido is the 'trump card' used to replace Rin Itoshi when the team is in trouble!"
