Blue prison monster

A few hours later, in the third selection waiting room...

Yoichi Isagi slowly opened his eyes from his slumber, muttering in a daze,

"Ah... what time is it?"

Then, Yoichi Isagi rubbed his eyes, got up, and walked towards the exit of the room.

"I thought there was still some time before the third match, so I took a nap."

"It's probably starting soon, huh..."

After saying that, Yoichi Isagi arrived at the entrance of the video room, but to his surprise, the video room was already full of people.

"Huh... Eh?"

"Ah, Isagi, you're awake!" Hyori Yo was the first to notice Yoichi Isagi's arrival and greeted him.

Hearing Hyori Yo's voice, several other people in the room also turned around and greeted him.

"Isagi, good morning!"

"Lazybones!"

"The third and fourth matches are already over!"

Hearing this, Yoichi Isagi was still dazed and asked Nanase Nijiro,

"There are so many more people..."

"Huh, did I sleep for a long time?"

Nanase Nijiro smiled and held up two fingers, answering,

"Ah, about 12 hours!"

"You must have been too tired. I went to wake you up, but you didn't wake up, so I left you alone!"

Yoichi Isagi scratched his head, slightly embarrassed: "No way! I missed the matches..."

"It seems like you can watch the recordings later," Nanase Nijiro said, pointing to a screen behind him.

"The member information and scores are over there!"

Yoichi Isagi looked in the direction Nanase Nijiro was pointing and indeed saw the overview of the third and fourth matches.

(Team A is undefeated so far!)

(Well, with Ryusei and Rin's combination, I can't imagine how they could lose.)

Then, after a series of feints, Rin Itoshi found the right angle and directly sent the ball to the unguarded midfield position of Team C.

Rin Itoshi single-handedly manipulated the three members of Team C!

And the position this ball was passed to was exactly where Ryusei Shido was rushing towards.

Then, Ryusei Shido didn't give Team C any chance to defend, forcefully striking the falling soccer ball, with a super long-range shot that directly ended the game!

GOAL!! Team A 5:2 Team C

At this time, the mechanical female voice sounded in sync.

BEEP~ BEEP——!

Match over!!

Score 5-2, Team A wins!!

"That was awesome, Ryusei!"

"Haha, keep it down, keep it down! There's nothing to get excited about, Bachira, haven't I always been this awesome?"

"Yeah! Yeah!"

That's right, Bachira Meguru, who was running to Ryusei Shido's side with a smile on his face.

"But that goal you scored was also very cool," Ryusei Shido said, waving to Rin Itoshi, who was slowly walking over in the distance.

"Hey, Rin! That pass was beautiful!"

"When we play against the U-20 National Team, you'll pass the ball to me according to this template!"

Ryusei Shido said, about to put his arm around Rin Itoshi's shoulders as he walked to his side.

"Get away from me!"

Rin Itoshi dodged to the side, glanced coldly at Ryusei Shido, and then walked towards the exit of the arena without looking back.

"Uh, why is Rin so easily triggered?"

"Haha, maybe it's because you're too annoying, Ryusei."

"Ah? Is that so? Do you also think I'm annoying, Bachira?"

"It's okay, it's okay~" Bachira Meguru said, walking towards the exit of the arena with his hands behind his back.

However, at this time, Ego Jinpachi's voice suddenly came from the broadcast.

"The 'Adaptability Test' is complete!"

"In six hours, I will announce the main lineup to challenge the U-20 Sakura Country National Team!"

One hour later, in the central cafeteria...

"Hey, Ryusei, Rin, congratulations on your victory!"

"Hyori? Come and sit down!" Ryusei Shido said, pulling out the chair next to him.

After Hyori Yo sat down, Ryusei Shido asked with a smile,

"How is it, Hyori, are you confident in being selected!"

"Uh, a little bit."

"Come on, Hyori, be confident, you're strong and talented!"

Ryusei Shido remembered very clearly that Hyori Yo was sent on as a substitute by Ego Jinpachi during the match against the U-20.

"Yeah, thank you, Ryusei!"

"Don't worry, you scored at least one goal, so there's a high chance you'll be selected!"

Hearing the conversation between Ryusei Shido and Hyori Yo, Yoichi Isagi, who was eating alone on the side, thought in his heart,

(I also... scored a goal!)

(Besides me, the people who scored outside of 'TOP.6' are Bachira, Baro, Reo, Hyori, and Yukimiya.)

(If this is the selection criteria, then I still have some chance!)

(It doesn't matter what position I play in the end——)

(I hope I can be selected!! I want to face the U-20 Sakura Country National Team!)

(I want to fight on that field where I can personally change my destiny!!)

At the same time, in an office similar to a monitoring room...

Ego Jinpachi was sitting cross-legged on the chair, constantly tapping the tablet in his hand, looking like he was in a dilemma.

At this time, a woman wearing professional attire with wine-red hair walked in and looked at Ego Jinpachi sitting on the chair and asked,

"Have you decided, Mr. Ego?"

"Hmm..." Ego Jinpachi scratched his head, thought for a moment before continuing, "Too many cooks spoil the broth, Anri!"

That's right, the woman questioning Ego Jinpachi was Teieri Anri!

"Huh?"

Teieri Anri looked at Ego Jinpachi inexplicably, waiting for his explanation.

"It means that in order to win, you have to give up some talent."

Before Teieri Anri could reply, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.

After Teieri Anri answered the phone, after a few seconds, she said to Ego Jinpachi with some seriousness: "You have a phone call, Mr. Ego!"

"Who is it? Calling at this crucial time."

"It's Chairman Furan Tsutaya!"

10 seconds left until the main lineup is announced——

Third Selection, in the central hall...

At this time, the voices of the people discussing came one after another.

"Wow——"

"I'm so nervous!!"

"If my heart flies out, I'll eat it."

"Has Kudo recovered yet?"

"Well, he fainted again during the fourth match, and I don't know if he's awake now."

"Haha, his stamina is really bad. If he's selected, he'll probably only last half the match, and then he'll have to faint."

"Hey, who are you saying has bad stamina?"

"Uh, you're here, Kudo..."
