"If all teams get two wins and two losses, the points will be six... which means you need at least 7 points to advance, and that's just barely passing."
"If all the goal points are taken by Ryu."
"Then this game is completely over."
"No... I came here to get stronger; I can't just leave like this!"
"Even more, I can't leave my fate in the hands of a demon!"
"So I must stop him!"
All of Team Z stood behind Ryu, their eyes filled with strong hostility, and an invisible aura seemed to envelop them.
Isagi's gaze became much sharper.
Bachira grinned. "Ryu... it seems your provocation worked... but can truly awakening all your teammates and opponents bring you joy?"
With a whistle sound.
Barou had already charged over with the ball, still wearing that disdainful expression...
Just as he was about to easily cross the defense line of several people, a figure had already blocked his path.
"I won't let you pass again!" Kunigami's expression was low, his muscular body almost completely blocking the path in front of Barou Shouei.
"Tsk..." Barou snorted coldly, just as he was about to attempt a feint.
Suddenly, a figure pierced through, taking the ball from under his feet as well.
"Hahaha... King of the Field, is your attention too scattered!" Asahi Naruhaya took control of the ball, utilizing his flexible body.
Then he quickly passed it out.
The ball went directly to Bachira's feet... He looked around at the people, grinning.
In an instant, he charged out with the ball.
In an unmanned corner, Isagi had already moved into the penalty area, waiting for the ball to arrive at any time.
However, Team X hadn't reacted to what was happening; the team that had just been in chaos had actually united after a brief rest?
It was somewhat unbelievable.
But seeing everyone cooperating, they quickly shook off the thoughts in their minds and did their best to stop this goal.
"Hahaha... interesting!"
"So you plan to do it this way?" Ryu's lips curved; he was already guessing what these people wanted to do.
On the field, 11 players are certainly the standard.
But... when players on the field initiate an attack, not all of them will necessarily be able to touch the ball.
And now they want to score by directly bypassing Ryu Sanada, essentially discarding this unstable factor.
To put it nicely, they "abandoned" this egoistic Demon King.
They wanted to score with their own abilities.
However... this was merely their tactic.
Barou's face showed ferocity, looking at Bachira not far away with great malice. "Heh... a bunch of rookies. You don't think uniting will help, do you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bachira was intercepted by several players.
Unlike before, knowing that Bachira's dribbling was very strong, Team X's defense was even more rigorous, almost completely trapping Bachira.
Bachira's eyes constantly rotated, seemingly searching for a breakthrough.
And in the next second, he managed to kick the ball towards Chigiri, who was the closest.
But there were also people defending there.
However, Chigiri's speed was astonishingly fast... but he ran somewhat timidly, looking like he wasn't using his full strength at all.
Raichi roared, "Bastard! Can't you run?"
"If you're slow and don't want to score, pass it to me!"
In an instant, he had already run towards Chigiri.
Chigiri bit his lip, his gaze seemingly glancing at his ankle joint. "You want it? Here you go..."
With a "boom" sound.
The ball flew directly towards Raichi.
Raichi laughed loudly, "That's how it should be!"
But just as he was about to touch the ball, a figure used a header to knock the ball down.
Kuon narrowed his eyes and smiled. "This is prepared for the Demon King; it's not something you should get..."
"Bastard... you bastard!" Raichi could only see Kuon Wataru's back as he took the ball, stood still for a second, and then cursed.
Seeing this scene, Team X was somewhat confused.
Didn't these people just seem united?
Why did they suddenly start fighting for the ball again?
It was then that Ryu Sanada, who had been standing in the center of the field, moved. His figure rapidly approached the goal.
Because he had been standing still all along, Team X, combining the previous situation, thought this person simply wanted a personal victory, so there weren't many marking him.
But they knew this guy was a monster on the field, no less than Barou Shouei.
However, the moment he suddenly moved, everyone's hearts tightened...
Damn it... once this guy starts moving, it means he's going to take the ball and attack!
Looking at the players blocking him, Kuon smiled, his eyes seeming to open slightly, "Clear the way for our Demon King! All of you, move aside!"
The next second, a sudden stop.
His thigh muscles bulged.
In an instant, only a ball was seen suddenly flying out.
That direction was exactly where Ryu was running, almost completely empty....
Suddenly, a triumphant voice rang out, "I finally waited for it!"
Even Ryu couldn't help but pause for a second. He watched as the ball in front of him was intercepted by that bastard, Isagi Yoichi.
That's right... although Isagi didn't understand his own abilities.
But he had been observing the information on the field. Almost everyone thought he was waiting for a pass in front of the goal.
And just now, Isagi had already started to calculate how the ball would be passed if Kuon got it.
Finally... in precise imagination.
Based on Kuon's performance, plus Ryu's movement, he calculated... that as long as he reached this position before Ryu, he could get the ball belonging to the "Demon King."
[As expected of the protagonist, this mental journey is damn powerful!]
[Don't even mention it; I think everyone here probably has eight hundred tricks up their sleeves, no... Isagi and Ryu probably have an extra eight hundred!]
[....]
Even the bullet comments didn't expect Isagi to think so much.
Let alone these players?
Ryu looked at Isagi, who was dribbling the ball, and couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He knew this was "spatial perception" ability, and although it hadn't evolved to the absurd level of the later stages, just by relying on a little bit of it, he could already intercept his ball.
Undoubtedly... Isagi had calculated him in.
"Interesting!"
"Hahaha... this is truly interesting!" Ryu suddenly burst out laughing, "Indeed, my coming here was correct; only this can make me happy!"
