Blue prison monster

Under the unsightly expressions of the two Y team members, Itoshi Rin charged into Y team's midfield.

"Spread out! Left two, middle three, right two."

After Kudō Tōya finished speaking, he retreated towards his own team's backfield. Kobayashi-jima, in the central midfield position, led two Y team members to meet Itoshi Rin.

As soon as Itoshi Rin rushed in front of Kobayashi-jima, he immediately shot, but after the three people blocked his shooting route, he passed the ball to Hiori Yōichi on his right.

("What? A fake shot? Damn it!")

Kobayashi-jima thought in his heart and hurriedly looked at the passed ball, subconsciously shouting,

"Kudō!"

Kudō Tōya didn't let Kobayashi-jima down, blocking the incoming ball.

Hiori Yōichi, clearly knowing who the opponent's core was, wouldn't make such a low-level mistake again.

("Rin and Ryūga were probably both on the left side just now, let's hope for the best! You guys have to receive it!")

[Bang!]

After Hiori Yōichi thought this, he made a long pass, sending the ball towards the left side of Y team's midfield.

("It's so far, but with my speed, I should be able to get the ball before those Y team guys.")

When Banjō Ryūga thought this, he exploded in place, rushing towards the ball's landing point.

But before he could run two steps, the corner of his eye caught a figure quickly rushing in front of the ball!

("Huh? It's that Rin guy!")

Just as Banjō Ryūga thought, Itoshi Rin arrived in front of the ball just as it landed, steadily receiving Hiori Yōichi's pass.

After receiving the ball, Itoshi Rin dribbled towards Y team's backfield, but Y team was obviously prepared.

Y team's left and right fullbacks, plus Matsuya Kōsaku, formed a fan shape and surrounded Itoshi Rin.

Itoshi Rin's calm eyes still didn't change at all, as if this scene had already been predicted by him.

After reaching the three Y team members, Itoshi Rin stopped the ball with his right foot and glanced around.

Then he dribbled towards the right side and immediately raised his foot to make a shooting motion!

("Forcing a shot?")

"Don't even think about it! Watch me!"

Matsuya Kōsaku knew it was too late to run, so he chose to slide towards Itoshi Rin's shooting route!

Unfortunately, Itoshi Rin wasn't shooting. The moment his right foot kicked the ball, he changed it to using his right foot to flick the ball, flicking the ball to his left foot.

Then he stepped on the ball with the sole of his left foot, taking advantage of the momentum to turn around and dribble past Matsuya Kōsaku, who was sliding in front of him, from the right side.

Itoshi Rin, who rushed to the middle position of Y team's backfield, chose to shoot again!

Kukawa Kenji then violently slid towards Itoshi Rin. The way he looked was as if he was waiting for Itoshi Rin to shoot so he could slide and block that shot.

Itoshi Rin snorted and directly changed his posture, using the inside of his right foot to push the ball to the left a little.

Therefore, Kukawa Kenji's slide tackle was also perfectly resolved by Itoshi Rin.

Kukawa Kenji himself also directly passed Itoshi Rin because he was sliding vertically.

Itoshi Rin then dribbled to the position in front of Y team's penalty area, and he actually raised his foot again to make a shooting motion!

"Quick! You slide towards him, leave the rest to me."

After Kobayashi-jima, who had worked hard to run back, instructed the Y team's right midfielder next to him, he took the lead in rushing towards Itoshi Rin's shooting route.

The Y team's right midfielder slid horizontally towards Itoshi Rin, but Itoshi Rin didn't care about the sliding Y team's right midfielder at all.

Changing his posture again, he stopped the ball with the sole of his right foot.

And the Y team's right midfielder who slid over was in trouble. The whole person directly slid away from in front of Itoshi Rin.

Then, as soon as Itoshi Rin dribbled forward, Kobayashi-jima's excited voice rang out.

"I predicted you, monster!"

"Heh, you're still far off."

As soon as the words fell, Itoshi Rin's toe kicked the soccer ball, and the ball quickly passed through Kobayashi-jima's legs.

Itoshi Rin himself had already started moving when he kicked the ball.

He reached behind Kobayashi-jima at a speed only a step slower than the ball, and dribbled into Y team's penalty area again!

("Nutmeg? First using a fake shot to deceive our right midfielder, then completely predicting what kind of interception action I would make.")

("Damn it! He doesn't need to look at my reaction to make a dribbling action, everything I do has been predicted by him!")

("Can we really defeat such an opponent? Wake up, Kobayashi-jima! With Kudō, nothing is impossible!")

Kobayashi-jima quickly turned around and saw a figure blocking Itoshi Rin in his own penalty area.

("It's our left midfielder! Great, I thought no one in our penalty area could run back now.")

("Kudō, is this also your arrangement? As expected! My confidence will only get stronger and stronger when I'm with you!")

Looking at the Y team's left midfielder blocking him, Itoshi Rin coldly said,

"A bunch of puppets, learn how to use your own thinking."

Itoshi Rin gently lifted the ball with his right foot, and at the same time, he jumped slightly, directly causing the Y team's left midfielder, who had barely run back, to slide into thin air.

At the same moment, Itoshi Rin kicked out in mid-air, volleying towards the Y team's goal.

"It's not just you guys who can become stronger! I said, my eyes can see through all your movements!"

"Prediction?"

Facing Itoshi Rin's slightly surprised voice, Kudō Tōya's pupils flickered with red flames, using his forehead to knock Itoshi Rin's shot away!

[Bang!]

The ball that was headed away was immediately passed out of the penalty area by the Y team's right attacking midfielder, who was prepared.

In front of the penalty area, Matsuya Kōsaku and Hiori Yōichi were constantly blocking each other.

But Matsuya Kōsaku, relying on his large size, stubbornly flicked the ball with his heel, knocking the incoming ball towards his own central midfield position.

Four people appeared in the central midfield position of Y team at the same time! They were:

Banjō Ryūga, who exploded out from the left backfield position and was about to rush to that position.

And the two Y team members beside Banjō Ryūga who knew that even if they tried to block him, they wouldn't be able to.

They might even be knocked to the ground by him, so they could only stare at him.

And also the Y team's left fullback who had already run to his own central midfield position, he was waiting for the ball to fly in front of him and then pass it directly.

Banjō Ryūga looked at the situation in front of him and felt a little strange in his heart.

("That guy called Kudō Tōya is so confident? I can be trapped in this three-on-one situation now.")

("It all comes from that guy Kudō's prediction! Leaving these three people in the midfield to block me while also being able to receive the incoming ball.")

("No! He even designed the pass and interception after the ball is blocked!")

("Heh, he's really confident, but there's a necessary prerequisite to doing all this.")

("That is, Itoshi Rin's shot will be blocked! Hehe! That means that Rin guy was slightly inferior just now.")

Banjō Ryūga actually laughed unconsciously when he thought this.

Then Banjō Ryūga stopped thinking about those irrelevant things, because the ball was about to land.

As soon as the ball landed, the two Y team members staring at him on his left and right sides, regardless of everything, charged and bumped towards him!

"Hmph! Lie on the ground and calm down, you small fries!"
