Blue prison monster

Kenshiro Zantetsu pushed up his glasses, a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and said,

“Just you wait and see, Nagi. After all this time honing my skills, I haven’t been standing still!”

After saying that, Kenshiro Zantetsu muttered to himself,

“That’s how the line goes, right?”

“Silly Zantetsu~”

Meanwhile, on Isagi Yoichi’s side, he finally replied with some embarrassment,

“It’s not like that! How should I put it, um…”

“I’m just really happy! I’m happy to see you all again!”

“Oh, of course, we’ll meet again, Isagi! I’m going to defeat you! I’m not happy about losing to you.”

Bachira Meguru was genuinely happy at this moment. Perhaps, for him, Isagi Yoichi was the first friend he made after coming to Blue Lock, no matter what.

Chigiri Hyoma and Baro Shoei also chimed in,

“I’m still going to crush you! And I still haven’t defeated the TOP3 yet!!”

“In short! This is a destined reunion!”

Isagi Yoichi’s lips curled up into a smile as he replied,

“Yeah! Let’s battle again someday!”

(They really are the best!)

Now, please welcome the third team to enter—

As the mechanical female voice announced, the third passage door opened, and as the figures of the five members of the third team were revealed,

Banjo Ryuga's eyes immediately lit up, and he shouted excitedly,

“Hiori! You really did make it through!”

That's right, the third team is:

3rd CLEAR TEAM 『Karasu Tabito』·『Otoya Eita』·『Yukimiya Kenyu』·『Hiori Yo』·『Hiiragi Aiki』

“Haha, don’t worry about me. The thing I was most worried about during this time was whether you could advance!”

“Of course, I’m not questioning your strength, I’m just afraid you wouldn’t be able to break your old habit of always passing the ball, which would lead to no one choosing you.”

“After all, this round is about highlighting yourself.”

Hiori Yo replied with a smug look on his face,

“Hmph, I’m not the same as before, Ryuga. If I have the chance, I’ll definitely give you a big surprise.”

“Oh? I’m really looking forward to it.”

Banjo Ryuga then looked at the other person on the third advancing team and said in a low voice,

“Hey, Hiori, is that teammate of yours a snake? His tongue is too unique.”

“Um, I wasn’t really comfortable asking about it, but he’s pretty strong.”

Banjo Ryuga suddenly paused, turned his head to look at Itoshi Rin, who was standing in place without saying a word, and said dissatisfied,

“Hey, Rin! Say something! Our old teammate is here, are you pretending you don’t see him?”

“Hmph, isn’t it natural for him to advance? What are you so happy about?”

“Huh? You little…”

Before Banjo Ryuga could continue speaking, Karasu Tabito stepped forward and interrupted,

“Banjo Ryuga, and Itoshi Rin over there! That match isn’t over yet. I’ll be the one to win next time!”

Otoya Eita also walked up, not saying a word, but his eyes were burning with fighting spirit.

Banjo Ryuga scratched his head and said strangely,

“Um, by the way, who are you guys?”

As soon as he said this, Otoya Eita and Karasu Tabito's brains short-circuited.

“Hahaha, just kidding, just kidding~”

On the other side, Isagi Yoichi quietly asked Nagi Seishiro beside him,

“Ryuga knows a lot of people.”

“Yeah, they should be the people who came up from his building during the selection.”

Next is the fourth advancing team to enter—

4th CLEAR TEAM 『Nanase Nijiro』·『Oogawara Hotori』·『Saradōji Akira』·『Haiji Sei』·『Hiiragi Reiji』

The moment Banjo Ryuga saw Saradōji Akira, he could only sigh that he couldn't play anymore.

(No, can you explain to me what's going on with your eyes? T﹏T)

(How is this guy kicking a ball while in Sage Mode? T﹏T)

“Ryuga, that guy’s eyes are so strange.”

“Hehe, you wouldn’t understand, Hiori. He’s in Sage Mode.”

“Ah? What mode?”

On the other side, Anri Teieri stroked his chin, looked at the five members of the fourth advancing team, and pondered,

“There are a total of seven teams advancing, so there are three left.”

(There are a few people who look pretty trendy.)

Now, please welcome the fifth advancing team—to enter!

5th CLEAR TEAM 『Niko Ikki』·『Yuzu Haruhiko』·『Sara Madara Iori』·『Ishikari Yukio』·『Nishioka Hajime』

Isagi Yoichi took the lead in shouting,

“Niko!”

Chigiri Hyoma then asked in confusion,

“Huh? Is this team missing someone?”

The mechanical female voice from the big screen answered Chigiri Hyoma's doubts.

The fifth team's Nishioka Hajime suffered a strain during the 'World Selection Match' in the third selection and is currently receiving treatment.

“As expected, the people who come here have all played against the World Selection team.”

Anri Teieri was still in a pensive mood, and opened his mouth to speak.

Isagi Yoichi was staring at the last two passage doors that hadn't opened yet, thinking uneasily in his heart,

(There are still two teams left, will they come?)

Now, please welcome the sixth advancing team—to enter!

At this time, the voices of the five members of the sixth team came out before they even appeared.

“I told you not to squeeze me!”

“I want to make a cool entrance in the middle!”

“No, get out of the way! I want to be in the middle!”

“Damn it, get out of the way!”

“You, you guys don’t argue, you’ll fall right in.”

“Hey, you two!”

“Ah—it hurts, it hurts!!”

As a result, the moment the door opened, three figures rushed in and fell to the ground with a “thud.”

6th CLEAR TEAM 『Raichi Jingo』·『Gagamaru Gin』·『Akuma Junichi』·『Shikuma Kyohei』·『Tokimitsu Aoshi』

Isagi Yoichi shouted even more happily when he saw them,

“Raichi! Gagamaru!”

Raichi Jingo, who was being held down on the ground, roared angrily,

“Ahhh!”

Gagamaru Gin, who was holding him down, replied expressionlessly,

“Ah~ What an embarrassing entrance.”

“I told you guys not to do this, it’s so embarrassing, hey? They all look so amazing.”

Tokimitsu Aoshi, seeing the faces in the room, fell into a cycle of self-deprecation again.

Gagamaru Gin had no intention of getting up at all, but instead looked in the direction of Isagi Yoichi and opened his mouth to speak,

“Ah—!! Hi!!”

“There are so many familiar faces I haven’t seen in a long time!”

Raichi Jingo and Akuma Junichi, who were being held down by Gagamaru Gin and couldn't get up, protested,

“Gagamaru, you!”

“What I mean is, tell you to get out of the way!”

On the other side, Chigiri Hyoma and Nagi Seishiro looked at the last door and whispered to each other.

“There’s still one team left.”

“Reo hasn’t come yet.”

Banjo Ryuga walked to Nagi Seishiro’s side and patted him on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry, Reo will definitely advance.”

Although Banjo Ryuga was comforting Nagi Seishiro, he was actually not confident in his heart.

Because of the butterfly effect, the advancing personnel had long deviated from their original path.
