Blue prison monster

"Hey, where are your eyes looking, ninja?"

Itoshi Rin's figure appeared closer to the ball, as if he had anticipated its trajectory.

Otonya Eita looked at Itoshi Rin in front of him, the surprise in his eyes evident.

(He predicted that too? I've been watching him ever since U started moving.)

(Although he observed my position, I didn't make any movements at that time?)

(Just based on U's movements, he can guess what will happen next? Is this something a human can do?)

(Tch! It's too late to run ahead of him and steal the ball, but don't think you'll get it easily!)

Otonya Eita changed direction and charged towards Itoshi Rin, wanting to block him from getting the ball.

By the time Otonya Eita rushed behind Itoshi Rin, the ball had reached Itoshi Rin's front.

Itoshi Rin didn't seem to care that Otonya Eita had run behind him to block, and used his right foot to flick the incoming ball high backwards.

The soaring soccer ball then passed over Otonya Eita, who hadn't reacted yet.

Just as he reacted and was about to block behind him,

Itoshi Rin's figure appeared behind him, kicking the ball towards the middle of their own team's attacking zone.

"Quick! Intercept the ball, there's no one there!"

"As long as we can..."

Before U Tabito could finish speaking, a gust of wind passed by his ear, and the smile on his face froze slightly.

(Sigh, this attack will probably fail.)

(Otonya didn't start at the same time as that monster Banjou Ryuga, so he has no chance to get the ball now.)

(No, even if they started at the same time, he's still not as fast as Banjou Ryuga, unless he started before Banjou Ryuga.)

(Otherwise, Otonya has no chance of winning against Banjou Ryuga in a ball contest.)

(But this time it's my fault, no wonder Otonya, this level of prediction is really genius.)

As U Tabito thought, Banjou Ryuga unexpectedly received the ball that Itoshi Rin kicked towards the middle of their own team's attacking zone.

Banjou Ryuga, who ran to the ball, smiled with purple hues in his eyes and said,

"Nice pass, Rin, let's counterattack ~"

As soon as he finished speaking, the moment Banjou Ryuga's foot touched the ball, he exploded forward and charged towards the middle of the X team's attacking zone.

"Block him! We need to stall as much as possible until U and Otonya return to defend!"

"That's right, foul him if necessary!"

"He's coming, surround him!"

The three X team players watched Banjou Ryuga charge over like a cannonball.

Although they were scared, they braced themselves and surrounded him in a fan shape.

"Get out of the way."

Banjou Ryuga didn't slow down at all, and kicked the ball directly to his right front with a powerful kick.

The ball quickly passed the three X team players.

(Huh? Did he make a mistake in dribbling?)

Before the three X team players who were trying to intercept Banjou Ryuga could figure it out, Banjou Ryuga had already rushed in front of them.

The two X team players closest to him reacted and tried to intercept Banjou Ryuga, but in the next second, Banjou Ryuga suddenly exploded with speed.

He forcefully broke through between the two of them.

The two X team players fell to the ground, watching Banjou Ryuga's receding figure, and couldn't help but think despairingly,

(Did he nutmeg us? Damn it! We only left one person in the midfield.)

(What kind of power is this? Did this monster play rugby before?)

The X team player who wasn't knocked down also knew the situation was urgent, and quickly turned around to chase after Banjou Ryuga.

Banjou Ryuga, who ran to the right side of the X team's midfield, looked at the X team player who was charging up without regard and thought strangely,

(Is this guy trying to foul me?)

"Too naive, buddy."

As he spoke, Banjou Ryuga instantly burst forward, and the X team player, seeing this, also charged horizontally towards Banjou Ryuga.

When the X team player approached Banjou Ryuga and was basically running side by side with him,

Banjou Ryuga directly used a rabona, cutting the ball out from behind the X team player.

Afterwards, Banjou Ryuga stopped his body instantly in place, and burst again towards the position where the ball flew out, which was the middle of the X team's midfield.

Banjou Ryuga, who regained the ball, started thinking in the middle of the X team's midfield.

(Four people are intercepting near the penalty area, along with the goalkeeper.)

(Hmm......)

(Should I try shooting directly? Tsk, it feels a bit difficult.)

(Hiori is running towards this side from the left, hey!? I got it.)

(Then let's replicate U's tactics!)

Having made up his mind, Banjou Ryuga charged diagonally towards the right side of the X team's backfield at an extremely fast speed.

The four people near the X team's penalty area, including other returning defenders, didn't understand what Banjou Ryuga was trying to do for a moment.

But they were still very happy in their hearts, Banjou Ryuga's actions gave them more time to return to defense.

When Banjou Ryuga reached the right side of the X team's backfield, the two X team players who had been passed by him earlier had already returned to defense.

Otonya Eita was also quickly approaching him from the right, not to mention the four people near the penalty area.

They had already been waiting in full battle array for Banjou Ryuga's arrival.

Banjou Ryuga looked serious on the surface, but his heart was already blooming with joy.

(You really can't say U's tactics aren't useful, who would have thought that someone as strong as me would also be bait.)

Banjou Ryuga kept changing positions and breaking through, but he didn't really break through.

Making the opposing X team players feel that their interception was actually useful.

"Great, he's run out of ideas!"

"Haha, that's right, take the ball from him, let's counterattack!"

When he saw Otonya Eita also enter the right side of the X team's backfield,

Banjou Ryuga was overjoyed, and couldn't control the expression on his face, smiling and saying,

"I've been waiting for you, Mr. Ninja."

Afterwards, Banjou Ryuga took a deep breath to calm himself down slowly.

He knew that if he made a mistake in passing this ball, Hiori Yo would be in trouble.

(Hoo~ At Hiori's speed, he should be running to that position next.)

(So the ball speed can't be too fast.)

"Now's the time! Receive the ball, Hiori!"

[Bang!]

The X team members who had been blocking for so long were directly stunned, and then they realized they had been tricked, the most embarrassed were the two X team members in the penalty area.

They thought that Banjou Ryuga would force a shot in desperation,

So they didn't participate in the interception, but defended in the penalty area.

As a result, Banjou Ryuga didn't even think about shooting, let alone passing them, he was completely fishing here.

Banjou Ryuga looked at the ball passing towards the left side of the X team's backfield and couldn't help but think happily,

(Perfect! The pass I made, Hiori should be praising me like crazy in his heart right now.)

At this time, Banjou Ryuga noticed that there was still a figure quickly approaching the landing point of the ball.

Looking at that figure, Banjou Ryuga helplessly thought in his heart,

(Still couldn't fool that shrewd guy U, but the position I passed the ball to was well-designed.)

(Hiori will definitely receive the ball first!)
