Blue prison monster

Ego Jinpachi crossed his legs and replied,

“That's right, that's also part of 'Improvisation'.”

“When people want to achieve a goal, things often don't go according to plan.”

“Those things in textbooks or manuals are theoretically correct, but in the face of the ever-changing playing field, they are just empty talk.”

“When a planned tactic doesn't work, ordinary people panic.”

“Finding the reason for failure and then putting your mind at ease, spending time on revising the plan, that's the mindset of a loser.”

“But the winner will switch to 'Challenge' mode!”

Speaking of which, Ego Jinpachi glanced at Teieri Anri and asked: “Anri, what is the purpose of this match?”

“Huh? Uh…” Teieri Anri was stunned by this sudden question, and after thinking for a while, she replied:

“It's 'to win'!”

“That's right!” Getting the answer, Ego Jinpachi continued:

“Being able to switch to this way of thinking immediately is very important!”

“Even if the previously set tactics have failed, even if the process is not exactly the same as imagined, as long as you don't lose sight of the goal,”

“Then the current situation will become a new 'Challenge'!”

Listening to Ego Jinpachi's explanation, Teieri Anri gradually understood the principle.

“This is the mindset necessary for 'Improvisation'!”

Ego Jinpachi adjusted his glasses before continuing: “Anri, you're starting to understand.”

“'Blue Lock' doesn't need ordinary people who wait for instructions, what I want is—”

“Egotists who can actively discover the 'Challenges' they need!”

“Itoshi Rin took the lead in facing this 'Challenge', and Isagi Yoichi responded to him—”

“Itoshi Rin's awakening, as expected, cannot be without Isagi Yoichi!”

On the field, Isagi Yoichi squatted on the ground, staring at Itoshi Rin's back, thinking in his heart:

(For that just now, considering Yukimiya, Otoya, Nagi, and Rin's shooting abilities, it wouldn't be surprising if any of the four scored.)

(But that's based on the premise that the opponent's formation is broken and they can use their weapons according to 'practice'.)

(And the one who opened this breakthrough is undoubtedly Rin!!)

(Although I didn't fully understand his idea, with that sentence)

[You only need to look at me!]

(I was able to fully focus on coordinating with him. Rin gave me a new 'Challenge'!)

Thinking this way, Isagi Yoichi quickly walked towards Itoshi Rin and called out to him.

“Hey, Rin!”

“Your shot just now was wonderful. You caught Ryuga off guard by taking advantage of the difference in vision. As expected of you, Rin!”

“And because of your wonderful performance, everyone was able to gradually break through the opponent's defense.”

Itoshi Rin looked strangely at Isagi Yoichi, who walked up to him, and interrupted:

“Tch, shut up!”

“You make it sound so nice, but when organizing the attack in the midfield, you were clearly following me like a sidekick.”

“But when we got to the goal, you completely exposed your selfishness and ran to steal the credit!”

“Is that not allowed?” Isagi Yoichi was a little embarrassed by what was said, but he couldn't lose in terms of momentum, so he reluctantly asked Itoshi Rin.

Itoshi Rin didn't care about the strangeness in Isagi Yoichi's tone, but stared at him intently and said: “No, that's good!”

“This kind of 'distorted' relationship is normal for you and me!”

Isagi Yoichi looked at Itoshi Rin's departing figure and thought in his heart:

(That's right, it was this sense of distance that created the unknown performance—)

(Rin and I have now become a threat to the enemy!!)

Hearing Itoshi Sae finally speak to him, Banjo Ryuga instantly felt a lot more at ease. He was afraid that Itoshi Sae would play the cold shoulder and refuse to cooperate with him in the attack later.

“Don't worry! Sae-bro, there will definitely not be a next time!” After saying that, Banjo Ryuga quickly quickened his pace and walked towards the center circle, as if he wanted to prove it to Itoshi Sae.

At this time, commentator Teruaki Hareto and Natsuki Harutaro successively spoke and broadcast the current real-time.

“There are 10 minutes left in the first half. Can the 'Blue Lock' team stop this attack from the 'U-20 National Team'?”

“Or even score another point!”

“It's exciting!”

“The score is 3-1, the game restarts!”

The 'U-20 National Team' has possession of the ball. Banjo Ryuga kicks off from the center circle!

“Let's go, Sae-bro!” After saying that, Banjo Ryuga decisively passed the ball to Itoshi Sae on the left side of the center circle.

Itoshi Sae, who received the ball, hadn't rushed forward a few steps when he encountered his dear brother, Itoshi Rin's interception!

“Hey, hey! 35 minutes have passed in the first half.”

“It's been so long, aren't you going to say hello? You old geezer!”

“This is not a match that belongs to you, but a match for me to surpass you!”

As he spoke, Itoshi Rin quickly approached Itoshi Sae and stretched his foot to directly steal the ball from him.

Seeing Itoshi Rin's pressing action, Itoshi Sae didn't panic at all. He first pulled the ball back, and then used the inside of his right foot to bring the ball to the left side.

Immediately afterwards, he increased his speed in one breath and rushed towards the left side of Itoshi Rin.

Itoshi Rin's reaction was also very timely. He immediately stretched his foot to block Itoshi Sae's forward rush.

Unfortunately, Itoshi Sae had already prepared for it. When Itoshi Rin blocked him, he made a posture of crossing his legs.

The next second, just as Itoshi Rin was about to touch the ball, Itoshi Sae used the Rabona technique.

Not only did he avoid his interception, but he also directly brought the ball to the right side, and it looked like he was about to completely get past Itoshi Rin.

But for Itoshi Rin, who finally had the opportunity to play against his brother, how could he be so easily passed?

Itoshi Rin turned around extremely quickly, and at the same time, his right arm stubbornly blocked Itoshi Sae, who was rushing forward.

“Sae-bro! Pass the ball to me!”

Hearing Banjo Ryuga's shout, Isagi Yoichi on the other side also hurriedly shouted at Itoshi Rin.

“Rin! I will assist you!”

“Don't get in the way, Isagi!!”

“Get out of here, you irrelevant people!! My brother and I are having a good time!”

Listening to Itoshi Rin's roar, Banjo Ryuga always had a feeling that he was telling him to get lost.

(Okay, okay, so that's how you play? )

(Are you treating this as a one-on-one performance for you two brothers?)

Banjo Ryuga complained, but his feet no longer moved closer to the two brothers.

He knew very well that Itoshi Sae would not pass the ball out at this time, because Itoshi Sae might want to give his dear brother a good lesson!
