Blue prison monster

Wanjo Ryuu, I looked at the two people on the big screen and thought in my heart with some shock.

(Huh? Aren't those two U Tabibito and Otsuya Eita?)

(What the heck? The core of Team X is actually them? This is getting interesting.)

(These two were ranked third and fourth respectively in Blue Lock in the later stages.)

(Nice! Finally, some evenly matched opponents. Playing against Team Y was so frustrating.)

"U Tabibito, known as the 'Assassin'! I used to play soccer with him in the same youth team in Kansai, so I know him pretty well."

"He relies on keen analytical skills to pinpoint the weak links in the opposing team's formation."

"Then concentrates all his strength to attack it until the end of the match! That's U Tabibito's style."

"The only advice I can give you is, no matter how he attacks your weaknesses, use your strengths to compete with him!"

Hiori Yo's eyes swept over everyone in Team V except for Wanjo Ryuu and Itoshi Rin, and he sighed and said,

"I'm not worried about Ryuu and Rin at all. The weak points that U targets definitely won't be them."

"But the rest of you are in danger. Let me give you an example."

"The ninth match just now was Team X against Team Y, the team that was evenly matched with us."

"They were kicked out by Team X, with a score of 10 to 2!"

"Team X being able to achieve this result doesn't mean they are much stronger than us."

"It's just that U identified the core of Team Y around the 20th minute of the match."

"Team Y's strength lies in Kudo Toya's perfect formation, but Team Y's weakness is also Kudo Toya."

"When I was watching the replay, I actually felt that U had already noticed that Kudo Toya was the core of Team Y at the beginning of the match."

"I guess he, like me, watched several replays of Team Y's matches and discovered the problem, but his ability is obviously stronger."

"Team Y's two goals were U boldly confirming his guess, and the result was obvious, he succeeded."

"After 20 minutes, Team Y didn't score a single goal. Kudo Toya, who was targeted by U, couldn't even convey instructions properly."

"The evidence is that when I was watching the replay yesterday, the rest of Team Y had no plans at all after 20 minutes."

"The offense and defense were completely chaotic, and everyone was improvising."

"So! If you two geniuses could calm down and watch the replay of Team Y's match, would the last match have been so anxious?"

Hiori Yo looked at Itoshi Rin and Wanjo Ryuu with some helplessness.

He felt that both of them were too arrogant and didn't even bother to look at opponents they weren't interested in.

"Hey, Hiori, just tell me if we won or not!"

"And to be honest, Kudo Toya and the others are really boring. They have never faced me and Rin head-on."

"Hiding in the shadows and relying on the cooperation of 10 people to deal with me and Rin, this is how long I'll play with him: 45 minutes."

"If there was a second half, Rin's analysis would have been completed around the 40-minute mark."

"Although his last shot was blocked by the suddenly awakened Kudo Toya,"

"what would he do after Rin updated his knowledge? Could Kudo Toya awaken again?"

"Not to mention me, with my physical ability, I wouldn't need to wait until the 90th minute."

"By the 80th minute, with the stamina of Team Y, who could keep up with my speed?"

"Heh heh, I'd rather not have a victory that relies on constantly passing the ball and even giving up my own shot!"

Itoshi Rin also rarely joined in and said,

"You idiot can occasionally say something reasonable like that. What's wrong with you usually?"

"Huh? Rin, you little brat, I'm praising you, and you're insulting me?"

"I can't stand it anymore! I really want to kick you into the wall, so you can't even be pulled out!"

"Heh heh, you?"

"What the heck? I must show you today why the flowers are so red!"

"Cough cough, business, business is important! Stop messing around."

Hiori Yo watched Wanjo Ryuu and Itoshi Rin finally stop their bickering, and he complained silently in his heart.

(I feel like they don't enjoy their meals unless they argue a few times a day.)

(Speaking of which, why is Rin like this too? Could he have been influenced by Ryuu?)

(Is this a roundabout way of saying their relationship has improved?)

Hiori Yo shook his head, feeling that business was more important. Then he pointed to another person on the big screen.

"The second person in the attacking core, 'Ninja' Otsuya Eita. By the way, he really is a descendant of ninjas."

(Huh? Isn't he a descendant of a certain Head-Patting Village? Next time when we play soccer with them,)

(This kid better not start forming hand seals while playing, suddenly pulling out a Shadow Clone Technique on me. How am I supposed to play then?)

(But I'll find a chance to ask him later if he knows any ninjutsu or something.)

While Wanjo Ryuu was daydreaming, Hiori Yo continued to speak.

"His ability is actually a bit similar to Ryuu's. He has extremely high off-ball movement and agility, and both like to use speed to dribble past people."

"However, he's not as violent as Ryuu. If you don't pay attention to this person at all times, he will suddenly appear in places you wouldn't expect."

"After watching the replays of their three matches yesterday, I thought for a long time and couldn't come up with any tactics to counter them."

"The only thing I could think of was how to prevent U from targeting the weak points of our team."

"No matter how high U's analytical ability is, it won't be higher than yours, Rin."

"No matter how fast Otsuya is, I don't think he's faster than you, Ryuu."

"Our team also has you two powerful attacking cores, so the method I came up with is king against king, general against general."

"Ryuu and Rin, you two can focus on confronting them. Leave the rest of Team X to us!"

The members of Team V also quickly echoed.

"We'll leave the strongest to you and Rin. I will do my best to prevent the rest of Team X from interfering with you!"

"That's right, Ryuu. We three brothers have learned from the last match. This time, our triangle formation will definitely not be disrupted!"

"We will also do our best to intercept the opponent's shots."

"But we might not be able to block much. You know, Ryuu, our strength is just like that."

Wanjo Ryuu looked at the three defenders on his team with expressions of guilt on their faces, and he smiled helplessly.

"Hey, it's okay. Do you think I would care about that? I said at the beginning of the first match,"

"We will lead you to victory! So you don't need to have any mental burden."

"What? You don't believe in that guy Rin, or don't you believe in your Ryuu?"

"Yeah, we believe you! We all believe you!"

Wanjo Ryuu nodded in satisfaction after hearing his defenders say that.

Just as he was about to continue saying something, Itoshi Rin's cold voice sounded from behind.

"Hey, Wanjo Ryuu!"
