Blue prison monster

Looking at the situation before me, I, Ryugo Manjo, couldn't help but think:

（What to do? That detestable guy, Otoya, knows he can't get the ball, so he's making sure I can't either.）

（Should I try forcing a shot? No, that won't work! Uryu is running this way, and his positioning is specifically to prevent me from forcing a shot.）

“Hmph, don't think you can shake me off!”

Although I, Ryugo Manjo, forcefully pushed out half a body length, I still hadn't completely escaped Otoya Eita's marking.

One of the triplets had just run into position, wanting to help me, Ryugo Manjo, snatch the ball.

But the X team member behind him also stepped forward and kicked at the soccer ball alongside him, causing him to have to give up on snatching the ball and instead intercept the X team member.

Uryu and Hiori Yo basically reached the ball at the same time. Hiori Yo was quite rational, not directly stepping forward to block Uryu.

He wanted to wait for Uryu to get the ball and not have time to adjust before cutting off Uryu's dribbling.

（Hiori is behind Uryu, huh? I have to find a way to pass the ball to him. Only he is currently unmarked.）

（As long as I can pass it to Hiori, I can start directly without any worries, breaking free from these guys' marking!）

As I, Ryugo Manjo, thought this, I suddenly stepped forward, wanting to extend my foot to pass the ball, but Otoya Eita behind me also kicked at the soccer ball at the same time.

（Why is this ninja so clingy?）

（I should be able to touch the ball before him, but there's no time to adjust the angle.）

（Damn it! If that's the case, it's very likely that Uryu will intercept it.）

“Can't you get lost, you clingy nin...”

【BANG!!】

Before I, Ryugo Manjo, could finish speaking, I heard a loud bang of something kicking the soccer ball.

GOAL!! V Team 1: 0 X Team

The few people in the penalty area who were caught in the melee all stared blankly at the figure who calmly stood in place after kicking the ball.

I, Ryugo Manjo, was the first to react, shouting with a look of pain.

“Ugh~ I'm really impressed by you, you old sixth man!”

“Seriously? Rin, why do you always play dirty tricks?”

That figure was none other than Itoshi Rin. He took advantage of the fact that everyone's vision became narrow during the melee.

So, at the moment I, Ryugo Manjo, kicked the soccer ball, he hid behind me and directly shot the ball.

“Hmph, you talk too much.”

After Itoshi Rin finished speaking, he walked back to his position, waiting for the X team to kick off.

Hiori Yo then walked over from the other side, patted me, Ryugo Manjo, on the shoulder, and comforted me.

“It's okay, Ryugo. You'll definitely score next time. Let's go back, too. The other team is preparing to kick off.”

“Yeah, let's go. It's just one goal, but Hiori, have you noticed that Rin is becoming more and more insidious?”

“Haha, he probably planned it from the start. His first direct shot was probably to test the other team's defensive capabilities.”

“In order to carry out the next layout, when the field turns into a melee, the other team's blind spots will become very numerous.”

“Moreover, with Rin's strength, he only needs to care whether Uryu and the ninja have noticed his shot.”

“Without at least three other people from the X team, they can't stop Rin's shot.”

“Anyway, he's controlling everything again. I can't stand it anymore. My fists are already hard! I really want to punch him!”

“( u ‿ ฺ u ✿ ) Okay, Ryugo. Won't it be satisfying if we score a goal in a while?”

“Hmph, yeah, let's go! The other team is about to stand in position to kick off.”

X team ball possession, Uryu kicks off from the center circle!

Looking at Uryu's face with a confident smile, I, Ryugo Manjo, couldn't help but think in my heart.

（Damn it! This guy is so handsome, not just his appearance, but also the kind of confidence he exudes.）

（Why do I get the feeling that when I see this person, I feel like he should win?）

（But unfortunately, he's still a little short compared to me.）

Just as I, Ryugo Manjo, was being narcissistic, Uryu had already kicked off and passed the ball to the X team's attacking midfielder on the right side of the center circle.

The X team's offensive formation is very similar to the V team's, leaving three people near their own penalty area to defend and seven people to attack.

Specifically, three players on the left, Uryu and Otoya Eita in the middle, and two players on the right.

The X team's attacking midfielder, who entered the V team's frontcourt on the left, passed the ball back to Uryu, who was in the middle position of the V team's frontcourt, without hesitation when he encountered the triplets coming to intercept.

“Are you treating me like I don't exist?”

As I, Ryugo Manjo, said this, I dashed horizontally from the middle position of the frontcourt towards the incoming ball.

“I'm sorry, but could you please not come over!”

Uryu, of course, didn't ignore my, Ryugo Manjo's, intention. When running side by side with me, Ryugo Manjo, to the ball,

Uryu seized the opportunity to bump into me, Ryugo Manjo, while using his arm to restrict my forward speed.

（How annoying, it's this kind of technique again!）

（And there's no good way to break it. Before, I chose to forcefully push away his arm.）

（That's because there was room to accelerate, and the ball was far away from him.）

（But now it's different. The acceleration space is okay, but the ball is too close to him. If I want to get the ball, I have to slow down.）

（Even if I push away one of his arms, he can immediately use the other arm to block me as soon as I slow down.）

（But well, don't even think about getting the ball!）

While Uryu was restricting me, Ryugo Manjo, I was also restricting him.

This is the only way I, Ryugo Manjo, can think of to deal with Uryu right now.

When Uryu saw me, Ryugo Manjo, awkwardly holding him with my arm, he smiled and said.

“Hmm? Why do you think I would insist on fighting you head-on?”

“Comparing your weaknesses with the other party's strengths? I wouldn't do such a stupid thing.”

As Uryu said this, he used the arm that was blocking me, Ryugo Manjo, using my body as leverage.

His left foot suddenly stretched forward, stepping over the incoming soccer ball, and then his left foot retracted smoothly.

Using his left heel to tap the ball, he passed the ball to the right side of the V team's frontcourt.

Before the ball even reached the right, Otoya Eita's ghostly figure received it, and dribbled towards the right side of the V team's midfield.

（Did this guy just use Flying Thunder God? Where did he come from?）

While I, Ryugo Manjo, was complaining, I still turned back and chased in the direction of Otoya Eita.

Otoya Eita, who entered the midfield, encountered the triplets running over from the left, and Hiori Yo and Itoshi Rin, who were slowly approaching from the right.

Otoya Eita looked at the triplets blocking in front of him, and instead of slowing down, he lowered his body and accelerated again!

“Damn it! We can't stop him at all, he's so fast! And this guy is different from Ryugo.”

“That's right, Ryugo uses speed to get past people very directly, but this guy gets past people without anyone noticing!”

“Damn! This guy's body flexibility is too good!”

That's right, Otoya Eita basically passed the triplets, who were lined up in front and behind, in an instant. The whole process presented an "S" shape.

But before Otoya Eita could reach the V team's backcourt, Hiori Yo caught up to him, and Itoshi Rin also rushed over quickly.
