Blue prison monster

But just as the ball passed under Rin Itoshi's crotch, Toya Kudo appeared like a ghost not far behind Rin Itoshi.

Without the slightest hesitation, Toya Kudo powerfully kicked the ball, sending it speeding towards the 『U-20 National Team』 penalty area.

At the same time that Toya Kudo kicked, Ryusei Shido, as if having a telepathic connection, sprinted towards the opponent's goal.

(All humans live to leave their mark.)

(Leaving behind one's genetic code is the inherent survival instinct of all living things.)

(The act of forming connections with people, or hurting them, to leave an impression on others, is roughly the same.)

(Creating something, wanting to become someone, and of course, leaving offspring.)

(All of these actions are to engrave proof of one's existence in the world.)

(It just so happens that for me, this action is 『soccer』!)

(Open your eyes wide, for me, scoring is 『being blessed』!!)

(Shooting is 『Seishi』, and the goal net is 『Nanshi』!!)

(This exhilarating 『birth』, I call it 『Explosion』!!)

Toya Kudo's pass was exquisite. As Ryusei Shido approached the backfield, the ball came right at him.

This kind of curveball was Ryusei Shido's favorite because he didn't need to adjust the angle at all. Kicking it with all his might was the perfect shot.

[BOOM!!]

Unfortunately, Oliver Aiku, in 『FLOW』 state, flew out and blocked Ryusei Shido and Toya Kudo's perfect teamwork.

"How annoying, we have to reorganize the attack again!"

Ryusei Shido muttered in dissatisfaction when he saw the ball being headed away.

But just as the ball was about to fly over his head, Ryusei Shido suddenly froze.

(Huh? What's this feeling?)

(Even though it's far away, my back can feel the aura of a goal.)

(My soccer cells are screaming to explode——!!)

Ryusei Shido twisted his body instinctively, launching himself into the air, and violently hammered the ball towards the 『U-20 National Team』 goal with an overhead kick.

[BOOM!!!]

"I want to shout to everyone in the world who doesn't know me yet, with my goal, with my Ryusei Shido's genes——"

"Impregnate them!!!"

GOAL!! 『Blue Lock』 Team 4: 5 『U-20 National Team』

"Shido!!"

"I... Incredible! Haha."

Harutaro Natsuki was obviously too shocked to say anything.

Teruto Asahi shouted excitedly: "With... with a super long-distance overhead kick."

"The 『Blue Lock』 team has once again narrowed the score to a one-point difference. In this final moment, the game has become unpredictable!"

Inside the field, the 『Blue Lock』 team members went from initial shock to ecstasy!

"Nice!! Shido!"

However, Ryusei Shido was silent for a moment, and then, with a flushed face, rushed towards Toya Kudo. As he approached, Ryusei Shido suddenly jumped.

Toya Kudo didn't have time to react and was directly knocked to the ground by Ryusei Shido.

"Tch, get off me! Idiot!!"

"Haha, as expected! Toya! You're simply my natural partner!!"

"Being with you, I can experience unprecedented excitement~"

On the other side, Ryuga Banjo helplessly rubbed his throbbing head and sighed to Sae Itoshi beside him.

"It's so annoying, Sae-bro, why are these guys all cheating?"

"This goal was Ryusei's awakening, don't tell me the next goal will be your dear brother's awakening?"

"Instead of thinking about these boring things, you might as well consider how you're going to score."

"A forward who can't continue to score will lose his meaning of existence."

After saying that, Sae Itoshi walked towards the center circle without looking back.

Ryuga Banjo shrugged and followed towards the center circle. He knew very well that this goal was the decisive battle.

『U-20 National Team』 ball possession, Sae Itoshi kicks off from the center circle!

After the kickoff, Sae Itoshi glanced left and right, then passed the ball to Ryuga Banjo, who was rushing forward, and said:

"Everyone push forward!"

The 『U-20 National Team』 attacking players, having received the order, also knew that now was the time to go all out.

Including Sae Itoshi, several members of the 『U-20 National Team』 all followed Ryuga Banjo, creating several passing routes for him.

(The formation has changed? Interesting! It must be Toya's idea.)

(Preventing me from breaking through forcefully like before, this kind of defensive formation is indeed troublesome, but I at least have teammates!)

(Although everyone except Aiku and Sae-bro are basically trash, they're at least somewhat useful!)

(Like, using them to confuse you, Toya!)

Thinking this, Ryuga Banjo suddenly kicked the ball to Sabaro on his right, while accelerating towards Hyoma Chigiri, who was blocking him.

Seeing this, Hyoma Chigiri reacted quickly and immediately understood that Ryuga Banjo wanted to use a one-two pass to get past him!

Then, Hyoma Chigiri quickly turned around and reached out his arm to block Ryuga Banjo.

But the next second, he saw a faint smile on Ryuga Banjo's lips.

"Crap!"

At the same time that Ryuga Banjo suddenly stopped, he turned and rushed to the other side. At this moment, Sabaro happened to pass the ball to him.

Ryuga Banjo, regaining control of the ball, entrusted his thinking to this moment of 『reflex』, and unconsciously swung his right foot, passing the ball to the right.

This pass not only dodged Yuto Yukimiya, who wanted to tackle from the other side, but also disrupted Toya Kudo's plan.

In Toya Kudo's conjecture and understanding, Ryuga Banjo, after getting past Hyoma Chigiri, would rush straight ahead without hesitation when there was no one blocking him.

Even if someone was blocking, as long as it wasn't like 3 or 4 people, Ryuga Banjo would choose to break through forcefully.

But this time, Ryuga Banjo didn't do that, but passed the ball out, even when there was no one in front of him.

While running to another position, Toya Kudo frowned and fell into deep thought.

(What's going on? Did Ryuga discover that I wanted to lure him into the midfield and then trap him?)

(That shouldn't be, I've never used this formation in front of him, and can Ryuga really think that much with his intelligence?)

(Tch, forget it! Let's just assume it's bad luck!)

Toya Kudo shook his head and simply stopped thinking. After all, preventing Sae Itoshi from dribbling was more important now.

Although Rin Itoshi was blocking Sae Itoshi again at this time, he didn't feel at ease leaving Sae Itoshi to Rin Itoshi.

But he couldn't stop marking Ryuga Banjo either, so Toya Kudo decided to split his forces!
