Blue prison monster

Standing near the center circle, waiting for the kickoff, my condition wasn't exactly ideal.

Because after entering the 『FLOW』 state (slow-motion world), I would fall into a brief drowsy state.

And under such circumstances, it's very easy to affect my judgment and reaction abilities.

(I still haven't fully adapted, damn it! Being lightheaded at this time is not good news!)

On the other side, the White team finally abandoned their playful attitude. Adam Blake, walking towards the center circle, said,

“Hand over the one called Ryūga Banjō to me. I'll end this match quickly.”

“Ha! Quickly obliterate them!”

“Yeah, let's go.”

White team possession, Pablo Cavazos kicks off!

After the kickoff, Adam Blake charged towards the Red team, or more accurately, towards Ryūga Banjō, who was standing on the left side of his own attacking zone.

Pablo Cavazos, meanwhile, dribbled towards the right side of the Red team's attacking zone, with Dada Silva and Julian Loki following behind him on his left and right, respectively.

Leonardo Luna, as always, ran towards Itoshi Rin.

Just as Ryūga Banjō was about to turn and chase after Pablo Cavazos, Adam Blake directly blocked his path and pinned him.

Due to not being fully mentally focused, Ryūga Banjō hadn't even noticed the White team's intentions.

It was only when Adam Blake bumped into him forcefully that Ryūga Banjō finally felt much clearer.

“Tch, aren't you supposed to be uninterested in men's bodies?”

Adam Blake obviously didn't quite understand what Ryūga Banjō was saying, but he could roughly guess from Ryūga Banjō's expression.

After Ryūga Banjō finished speaking, he wanted to use his speed to get past him directly, but unfortunately, Adam Blake kept using tactics that prevented Ryūga Banjō from fully unleashing his speed.

“Damn it! You're so annoying!”

On the other side, Pablo Cavazos took advantage of Isemi Jūbei being blocked by Dada Silva and quickly got past him.

At the same time as passing Isemi Jūbei, Pablo Cavazos adjusted his angle and sent a precise ground curveball.

The ball was passed to the middle of the Red team's midfield, where Julian Loki's figure received the ball at an extremely fast speed.

In the next second, Julian Loki suddenly exploded with speed, charging straight towards the Red team's goal.

“Nagi!! Just stop him for a bit, I'll be right there!”

Seeing Julian Loki's actions, Ryūga Banjō knew that if he really let him break through to a certain position, the match would really be over.

(Adam is constantly blocking me, and I can't force my way through him, tsk!)

(Then I don't believe you can still stop me like this!!)

Thinking this, Ryūga Banjō suddenly burst out with maximum speed again. Adam Blake's reaction was also very timely, reaching out his arm to block Ryūga Banjō as he rushed forward.

(That's right! Even if your brain reacts, your body won't be able to keep up with me!)

Thinking this, Ryūga Banjō's rapidly advancing body suddenly stopped.

And as Ryūga Banjō expected, Adam Blake charged forward a few more steps before stopping.

But Ryūga Banjō had already seized this momentary opportunity, changing direction and passing Adam Blake from behind.

Then, Ryūga Banjō burst forward again, chasing after Julian Loki.

On the other side, perhaps due to luck, or perhaps Julian Loki was holding back, Nagi Seishirō and Isagi Yoichi actually managed to stop Julian Loki.

However, Julian Loki didn't feel any sense of urgency from being stopped, and instead, a faint smile still hung on his lips.

Seeing this scene, Ryūga Banjō, who was chasing at top speed, couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

(Nice work, Nagi, Isagi!)

“Leave the rest to me!!”

As he spoke, Ryūga Banjō had already rushed behind Julian Loki. At this moment, Julian Loki said with a faint smile,

“Sorry~”

The instant Ryūga Banjō blocked him from Julian Loki's left side, Julian Loki directly turned with the ball, dodging Ryūga Banjō's steal.

Immediately after, Julian Loki didn't give Ryūga Banjō a chance to block, directly kicking the ball towards the left side of the Red team's backfield.

Ryūga Banjō knew it was over without even looking back. At this moment, his condition had completely returned to its peak.

So Ryūga Banjō had now figured out the situation.

(Huh? What's going on? Why did Loki pass it back?)

Although Ryūga Banjō was thinking strangely, his footsteps didn't stop, and he quickly chased after Dada Silva.

Although Isemi Jūbei was pinning Dada Silva beside him, Ryūga Banjō didn't hold out any hope that Isemi Jūbei could get the ball.

When Ryūga Banjō was about to approach Dada Silva, a figure even faster than him blocked Dada Silva.

(Isagi!?)

“Isagi, I'll go to his left side, and after he lands, I'll directly use the time difference of the jump to steal his ball!”

“Okay!”

Ryūga Banjō, not far from the two, heard their conversation, and looking at their current positions, he exclaimed inwardly,

(Wait, wait!)

(The current situation is that the four of us are gathered together in this position, fighting for Dada's ball?)

(No, why does Isagi think Dada is going to stop the ball instead of passing it?)

(Does he think Dada won't dare to pass the ball casually with Isemi and Nagi around?)

(Isagi, don't underestimate these world-class players, their limits are never that simple!)

(If Dada passes the ball at this time...)

As the saying goes, what you fear comes to pass. Dada Silva revealed an exaggerated smile at the corner of his mouth.

Forcefully pressing down on Isemi Jūbei with his arms, he jumped into the air and headed the ball out!

“Wh-…What!?”

(Pass? Who is he going to pass to? Could it be...)

Isagi Yoichi looked at the scene in front of him in shock, only because Isemi Jūbei was unable to jump at all, completely suppressed by Dada Silva.

And Isagi Yoichi wasn't a fool either. Seeing the scene in front of him, he understood the White team's true intentions.

“Nagi!!”

Ryūga Banjō and Isagi Yoichi shouted towards Nagi Seishirō in unison, because Nagi Seishirō was the closest person to the ball that Dada Silva passed out.

But Nagi Seishirō's reaction was still half a beat late, and in the next second, the ball flew over his head.

But he couldn't be blamed for this. Nagi Seishirō was still preparing to block the time difference and jump a second ago, and the next second you want him to intercept the flying ball, which is obviously unlikely.

The ball that flew over Nagi Seishirō's head landed and bounced up, and then Leonardo Luna stopped it with his right foot.

Immediately after, Leonardo Luna, unguarded, charged towards the Red team's goal!
