Blue prison monster

Rin Itoshi, after listening, stood there愣 in place with an unreadable expression, as if contemplating what Ryūga Banjō had just said.

Ryūga Banjō, on the other hand, yawned, and while drowsily heading towards the training field exit, said,

"Think slowly about what I said, Rin. I'm about to die from sleepiness, so I'm going back to my room to continue sleeping."

"I don't know what got into me in the middle of the night, to have a one-on-one match with you for about an hour."

As he spoke, Ryūga Banjō had already walked out of the training field, leaving Rin Itoshi alone, still quietly pondering.

It was as if what Ryūga Banjō had just said was too shocking, and he hadn't recovered yet...

The next day, at the training field during the day...

"Still not good enough, Yamato. The line between your sliding tackle and dangerous tackle is too blurred. You're still not allowed to use it in the penalty area during the next match!"

"Triplets, your coordinated triangular offense is indeed not bad."

"But your weaknesses are also very obvious. As soon as you receive the ball, you subconsciously look at the person you're going to pass to."

"Other teams can easily intercept your passes just by watching a few recordings."

"Also, Hyori has the same little problem. When passing, he only looks at the person he's going to pass to, making it easy for others to see through your intentions."

Ryūga Banjō stood outside the training field, constantly guiding the V team members during their practice matches.

Looking at Rin Itoshi, who was also practicing, Ryūga Banjō couldn't help but tease,

"Oh, and there's Rin Itoshi over there. Don't keep such a cold face. It's too punchable! It makes it easy for the opponents to foul you. Try to change it a bit."

"Hmm? That foul mouth of yours really needs to be sewn shut!"

Seeing Rin Itoshi walking over with a chilling aura, Ryūga Banjō chuckled,

"Oh, I just saw that you hadn't said a word for most of the day, and I was afraid you were feeling down, so I teased you a bit. Good that you're not."

Just as Rin Itoshi was about to retort, Esashi Jinpachi's voice came from the big screen.

"Yo~ yo, everyone, the sixth match of the Blue Lock star prodigies has ended."

"Here are the results and rankings. Please take a look!"

As Esashi Jinpachi spoke, the score rankings of each team were displayed on the big screen.

First place:『X Team』Points:『6 points』Net score difference:『+15』

Fifth place:『W Team』Points:『0 points』Net score difference:『-12』

"Ryūga, the X Team guys are really amazing. Even with our number of goals, we couldn't surpass them."

Ryūga Banjō didn't immediately reply to Hyori Yo, but instead, he thought to himself with some surprise,

"Hmm? What's going on? With W Team's momentum, they definitely won't have a chance for everyone to advance, which means Tanaka Shingen and Shigu Kyohei will have one of them eliminated?"

"The second selection round later on will directly be missing one of them? Looks like it's because of the butterfly effect of me coming to Blue Lock."

"And X Team's goal score is actually so high? Who could it be? The core ace of X Team."

"This is really interesting. I'm increasingly looking forward to how Blue Lock will turn out later on!"

Esashi Jinpachi didn't give everyone a chance to say more and continued,

"Now, I will adjust the team rankings within each team in Blue Lock based on the results and match performance."

As soon as Esashi Jinpachi finished speaking, the rankings on the arms of the V Team members began to change.

"As a forward, you should prove your value by scoring goals. The person with the higher goal value will be ranked higher, which means the current highest-ranked in V Team..."

"Is you, Ryūga Banjō!"

Ryūga Banjō completely ignored the envious and congratulatory gazes of the other V Team members, and instead looked at Rin Itoshi with a cheeky smile,

"Ah? I'm actually first? I really didn't expect it~ I scored so many goals without realizing it."

Saying this, Ryūga Banjō looked at everyone with confusion, as if he really didn't know, and asked,

"Do you guys know who the second-place person in our V Team is? Forget it, forget it~\

,""No one would really remember who the second place is, right?"

Rin Itoshi stood to the side listening to Ryūga Banjō's sarcastic remarks, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and made a gesture to beat Ryūga Banjō up.

At this moment, Esashi Jinpachi's voice timely stopped this farce.

"Alright, Blue Lock prohibits all violence, but Ryūga Banjō and Rin Itoshi have undoubtedly found their soccer weapons."

"Finding your own weapon is a necessary condition for a forward. The next step is to hone and strengthen your weapon."

"Make it stand out!"

"For example, the world-class Argentinian forward, Lionel Messi."

"His weapon is his unique and detailed high-frequency touch dribbling, as well as his left-footed shot that's terrifyingly fast!"

"In this aspect, he is the most outstanding player on the planet, so he has always been a highly dominant top forward."

"The weapons you possess are different, so the way you hone them will naturally be different. Even if you imitate Messi, your weapon won't shine."

"How can you multiply your unique weapon that turns 0 into 1 to make it evolve even stronger? Master a unique style of play and highlight your weapon!"

"A fiery gemstone called talent, if not polished, will become self-satisfying trash!"

The seventh match will begin in 24 hours.

V Team VS Y Team!

"Alright, everyone, let's end the practice for today. Go back and rest well to prepare for tomorrow's victory."

After Ryūga Banjō confidently finished speaking, he was about to walk back to the V Team's room to continue sleeping.

"Ryūga, wait a minute! Should we take a look at Y Team's match replay?"

"Ah? No way, Hyori. Look at their goal score difference. They're weak chickens at a glance."

"If we were going to watch X Team, I'd still be a little interested, after all, their goal score is actually higher than me and Rin's."

"Alright, Hyori, I'm going back to sleep. You see that guy Rin already left. Y Team's level is probably about the same as Z Team's."

Hyori Yo obviously still wanted to say something, but seeing that Ryūga Banjō had already walked back, he gave up.

He knew about Ryūga Banjō going one-on-one with Rin Itoshi last night, so he didn't call Ryūga Banjō again and instead went to watch Y Team's match replay alone....

24 hours later, inside the V Team's waiting room....

"Ryūga, I watched Y Team's match yesterday and I feel like there aren't any very strong people on their team, but it gives me a strange feeling."

"Ah, whatever. You don't think they can stop my attack, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and get on the field to end this match."

Rin Itoshi took the lead and walked onto the playing field, followed by Ryūga Banjō and the others.

On the playing field, the Y Team members had already set up their formation, which was:

Three forwards: left winger, center forward, right winger

Five midfielders: left attacking midfielder, left midfielder, attacking midfielder, right midfielder, right attacking midfielder

Two defenders: left back, right back

As Ryūga Banjō and the others arrived at their positions, the mechanical female voice began to announce the start of the match.

"Fifth Building, Seventh Match, V Team versus Y Team, kickoff!!"
