Blue prison monster

However, Shido Ryusei, having just experienced a harsh dose of reality, didn't pick up on the oddness. Instead, he grasped the hand Ryusei Banjo extended.

Ryusei Banjo pulled him up from the ground with a tug, and Shido Ryusei even politely said, "Thank you."

"Huh? Did one match change you, kid?"

Shido Ryusei didn't reply, only glanced at Ryusei Banjo before walking away without looking back.

"Uh, did I beat him into being withdrawn?" Ryusei Banjo muttered, watching Shido Ryusei's departing figure.

"Don't worry, I'll check on Shido later. Don't take those words he said at the meeting to heart."

"He's always been arrogant because he's our ace. Being taught a lesson is a good thing for him."

"Oh, right, let me formally introduce myself. Oliver Aiku, captain of the U-20 national team!"

Ryusei Banjo raised an eyebrow, looking at Oliver Aiku, who had a faint smile on his face and an outstretched hand, thinking to himself:

(Interesting. As expected of the social butterfly of the U-20 national team.)

(Showing off such a handsome smile, you'd have to want to get to know him!)

"Haha, I wanted to get to know you back at the meeting."

"But I was busy with the one-on-one challenge, so I didn't have the chance. Now it's great, even if you didn't come looking for me, I was going to find you."

"After all, it's rare to see someone with heterochromia and who's also a handsome guy like me!"

"Ryusei Banjo! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

As he said this, Ryusei Banjo also extended his hand and shook Oliver Aiku's.

Oliver Aiku was stunned to see this. He thought that geniuses like Ryusei Banjo would be arrogant and indifferent, like Itoshi Sae.

But Ryusei Banjo's enthusiastic demeanor really caught him off guard.

However, Oliver Aiku was someone who had seen big scenes, so he quickly regained his composure.

"Yes, the honor is mine."

"Haha, don't be so formal, Aiku," Ryusei Banjo said, putting his right arm around Oliver Aiku's shoulders. "I'm easy to get along with."

"We're teammates after all, how can we not trust each other?"

"Besides, I can only focus on attacking if I trust the four of you forming the defensive line, right?"

As Ryusei Banjo spoke, Niou and Makoto, Seragaki Mirai, and Otoya Eita also walked over.

"How did you know the four of us would form the defensive line? I don't remember telling you that?"

"This is your upcoming training plan. I need to correct the various flaws in your game."

"For example, your movements aren't clean and efficient enough when shooting, you don't update your vision in time, and you always have some unnecessary small movements when dribbling past people."

"And then there's the posture when you're running with the ball. You probably learned it from Loki, but you've only imitated it without turning it into your own."

"You must have learned it from videos. That dribbling posture is the most suitable for him, but everyone's physical condition is different."

"With your physique, using his posture is actually suppressing your speed in disguise."

"But you won't be able to change it in a short time, so you can slowly change this aspect, after all, it has become a habit."

"And then..."

Itoshi Sae went on for more than ten minutes, and Ryusei Banjo was petrified listening to it all.

After Itoshi Sae finished speaking, Ryusei Banjo paused for a few seconds before looking at Itoshi Sae seriously and saying,

"Wait, Sae-bro? Do I really have that many flaws?"

"Yeah, that's how it looks to me."

"Then what should I train first?"

Itoshi Sae first handed the form in his hand to Ryusei Banjo before continuing, "Follow the order on this first."

"The problem with your dribbling posture can only be changed slowly, adjusted slowly."

"I don't know what's most suitable for you either, you can only explore it slowly yourself."

"And then, as for reflexive thinking, there's no way to start, it all depends on your own talent."

Ryusei Banjo nodded as if he understood, but Itoshi Sae had really said too much, and he hadn't fully digested a lot of important information yet.

"Then Sae-bro, I'll go back and get some sleep, to clear my head."

"Yeah, go."

At the same time, inside the 'Blue Lock' training ground..........

At this time, everyone in Blue Lock was sweating profusely, panting heavily, but no one was saying they were tired!

Fortunately, the mechanical female voice rang out, saving everyone.

Ding-dong, ding-dong——

Morning training is over, everyone take a break!

But there were still two people who chose to do extra training.

One of them was Hyori Yo, who was sweating profusely. He wanted to unleash 110% of his ability on the day of the match.

To defeat Ryusei Banjo head-on and rescue him from the U-20 national team!

"Hyori, you should rest for a while, don't exhaust yourself," Nanase Nijiro looked at Hyori Yo, who was still training, with concern.

"It's okay, Nanase, I'll rest after training for another hour. I know my body best."

"Alright, then I'll supervise you here. You must rest after an hour!"

The other person was Itoshi Rin, who had a deep obsession with surpassing his brother!

At this time, Isagi Yoichi, who had just finished training, was walking and thinking.

( 'Just defeat them' huh?)

(If that's the case, I feel like my current ability isn't enough.)

(The powerful performance brought about by 'focus' only happens occasionally, relying entirely on luck!)

(What can I do to skillfully use that skill!)

Unknowingly, Isagi Yoichi walked to the door of another training room. Hearing the sound of training equipment operating inside, he curiously looked inside.

"Rin?!"

Seeing that the person inside was Itoshi Rin, Isagi Yoichi slowly walked to his side and said, "Hey, it's time to rest, you should catch your breath."

"Huh?" Itoshi Rin, panting heavily, stopped his movements and looked at Isagi Yoichi, saying, "Don't compare me to you!"

"If you're here to make trouble, get out of here immediately, Isagi!"

Isagi Yoichi was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "That's not it."

"But, if you overwork yourself and ruin your body........."

Before Isagi Yoichi could finish speaking, Itoshi Rin gritted his teeth and said, word by word,

"If I ruin it, it just means that's all I'm capable of!"

"I finally have the opportunity to compete with my brother, with Itoshi Sae!"

"To defeat him! To surpass him!!!"

"Do you know how much I've been longing for this moment!!!!!"
