Blue prison monster

"Uh, what's wrong, Rin? I'm just encouraging them. Why are you looking so cold?"

"Wait? What are you going to do? Blue Lock doesn't allow violence."

"Hey, someone come and hold him back! Rin Itoshi is having a fit!"

Ryusei Shido finished speaking and immediately ran away, not giving Rin Itoshi any chance to attack.

"You idiot, get back here!"

Hyori Yoichi, seeing the situation, quickly grabbed Rin Itoshi and said,

"Forget it, Rin. I have something more important to tell you about Itoshi Sae. I've also thought of some of his abilities."

Rin Itoshi "hmph"ed, glanced at Yoichi Hyori, turned his head, and walked towards the entrance of the strategy meeting room again.

"No need. It doesn't matter to me whether I know their abilities or not. Besides, I have more important things to do now."

"Huh? It's already past 10 o'clock. What are you still going to do?"

Rin Itoshi, who had walked to the entrance of the strategy meeting room, replied indifferently,

"Cool-down yoga and meditation."

"Uh..."

"By the way, who left last? Does anyone know what Yoichi went to do?"

"I don't know, man. Yoichi left by himself not long after you and Rin-bro left."

"I thought he went back to his room."

"Where's that Rin guy? How is he still doing yoga at almost 12 midnight?"

Ryusei Shido wanted to take advantage of Rin Itoshi's absence to continue badmouthing him behind his back.

The door to the room suddenly opened, and Rin Itoshi slowly walked into the room.

He glanced coldly at Ryusei Shido and ignored him.

Not long after, Yoichi Hyori also returned to the room, saving Ryusei Shido from the awkward situation.

"You're back, Yoichi. What did you go to do so late? Don't you usually go to sleep at this time?"

"You wouldn't be researching tactics so late, would you?"

"No, Ryusei. I went to the training grounds. I wanted to try my remote-control pass again."

"But I can't get that same feeling, and it's not going smoothly."

"Huh? You have that feeling too? Me too!"

"It's not that I can't use my heavy cannon shot, but many times when I use it, it's not the same feeling."

"I can only use this move in a completely straight line, and I don't know how fast the ball will be, or if it will be blocked."

"After I shoot it, I just leave it to fate. My heavy cannon shot is all about unpredictability!"

"Not even I can predict it ~"

"I'm not as good as you, Ryusei. I can't even use that remote-control pass anymore."

"Yo ~ Yo! Long time no see, everyone. I'm Jinpachi Ego!"

"(Holy crap! You scared me! How is Jinpachi Ego monitoring us 24/7? Isn't that just pure perversion?)"

Jinpachi Ego's sudden appearance startled Ryusei Shido, making him tremble.

He turned his head towards the big screen with resentment, and Jinpachi Ego continued,

"Well ~ the fact that you can't reproduce your own passing and scoring abilities means you haven't found your 'formula'!"

"Ryusei Shido's shot relies purely on luck, and even he can't control it."

"Yoichi Hyori is the same. He just happened to kick a few good balls."

"That kind of play is worthless!"

"(How is Jinpachi Ego eavesdropping on us again?)"

Not giving Ryusei Shido a chance to complain more in his heart, Jinpachi Ego continued,

"The qualities needed to be the world's best striker are..."

"The ability to reproduce goals and control shots."

"Although the more spectacular the goal, the more impressive it is,"

"There are many players all over the world who fade into obscurity after becoming famous with one goal."

"Why can't they reproduce the shot and pass from that time? Because the shot and pass at that time were just accidental products."

"Not to mention Ryusei Shido's lucky shots. If he can control them, fine, but otherwise, he's trash!"

"Hey? Are you targeting me...?"

Jinpachi Ego had no intention of listening to Ryusei Shido, interrupting him,

"What you need to master now is the 'formula' for creating goals!"

"Analyze when and under what conditions your weapon can score."

"How many meters away from the goal and your teammates were you when you scored or passed? How many defenders did you face?"

"Where did you kick the ball to pass or shoot? What did it feel like at the time?"

"You need to analyze it thoroughly and reproduce the shot and pass from that time."

"Positioning, shooting, passing, dribbling, construct a 'formula' that allows you to shine the most."

"World-class strikers all have their own unique scoring formulas. You're still living in luck, and that won't work!"

"You need to understand that being able to reproduce success and master your weapon is what gives you a future!"

"The game is full of surprises. On the ever-changing battlefield, only by proving the formula you've constructed can you become the world's best striker!"

"You can't win by luck; you must win logically!"

Ryusei Shido lay in his bed, closing his eyes and starting to meditate. He basically heard half of what Jinpachi Ego said and missed the other half.

"(What do you mean win by luck? I kicked that ball to make it impossible for others to predict my shot trajectory.)"

"(But what he said also makes some sense. A shot that even I can't control might really cause problems in the future.)"

"(But how can I control it? Weaken the power? But wouldn't that be the same as my normal shot?)"

"(Ah ~ this is so annoying. I'll think about it tomorrow. I'm so sleepy...)"

After thinking for a while, Ryusei Shido slowly fell asleep.

Training grounds at five in the morning...

"[Bang!]"

"(Hmm? Someone's already training at five in the morning? Could it be that Rin guy again?)"

"(But when I got up just now, I seemed to see him still sleeping.)"

Ryusei Shido groggily walked into the V team's training ground and saw Yoichi Hyori panting heavily, covered in sweat.

"Huh? It's you, Yoichi. Why are you training so early?"

"Could it be that the match against Itoshi Sae and Eita Otoya put too much pressure on you?"

"Are you worried that Rin and I won't be able to beat them?"

Yoichi Hyori slowly calmed his breathing and smiled before saying,

"It's not that I'm under too much pressure, or that I'm worried that you and Rin won't be able to beat them, that I came to train."

"It's because after Jinpachi Ego finished speaking, I didn't really sleep at all. I've been in a state of eagerness to try things out."

"So I came to the training grounds at 4 in the morning, wanting to find the feeling of kicking the remote-control pass back then, but I haven't succeeded yet."

"I do have some pressure, after all, I want to replicate my remote-control pass."

"That way, when you and Itoshi and Otoya face off, I can still help."
