Ego grinned, opening his arms. "When you destroy your former consciousness and place everything you have on this scale."
"I believe you all know exactly what you want!"
"Is it honor, or... to be a world-class striker!"
"Everyone, think! Start thinking!"
"Think about how to keep winning in the next game, pick up your own weapon... and finally crush your opponent."
"I look forward to your performance."
The next second, the screen turned off.
Everyone fell silent...
"No, what the hell is this guy talking about? I don't understand." Raichi scratched his head, looking speechless.
What thinking, what scale...
Isagi fell into thought. He came here naturally to become stronger, to join the national team... otherwise, he wouldn't have taken that step.
Ryu revealed a smile.
Sure enough, the quotes heard by winners are different from those heard by losers...
Compared to the anime, where Ego directly tells these people the key points of football, it seems more direct now.
This is a reform that will change the sport of football.
It's also to make them understand the purpose of their own strengths and weapons...
Kunigami stepped forward first, stroking his chin somewhat uncertainly. "I roughly understood what this guy meant just now... which is the individual ability Isagi mentioned before."
"To put it plainly, it's our own weapon."
"Weapon?" Raichi raised an eyebrow. "Are you talking about my magnificent shooting technique?"
"I didn't ask you!" Kunigami glanced at him, then his gaze turned to Ryu. He seemed to remember this guy saying something similar to him before.
Apparently, this guy must have understood the meaning long ago.
Isagi's gaze also turned to Ryu.
"Weapon?" Ryu chuckled, "Isn't what he said clear enough?"
"Everyone has their own specialty. For example, this little shark just said his shooting technique is very strong; that's his weapon."
As he spoke, he pointed to Bachira, who was lying on the ground snoring. "The so-called weapon is simply your most outstanding ability."
"For example, Bachira, his dribbling is very strong, so in the last game, he often managed to get possession of the ball with his outstanding ability."
"This is individual ability."
"It's also the effect brought by a weapon."
"As for how to display your weapon on the field, that's your own business."
"I understand." Isagi raised his hand. "Ego Jinpachi's meaning... is to let us clearly know everyone's weapons so we can cooperate better in the next game?"
Ryu neither shook his head nor nodded.
Isagi's statement was neither entirely correct nor entirely wrong. Ego was actually just giving a hint. He must have watched the video and known the current state of Team Z.
That's why he gave the reminder.
After several exchanges.
For the sake of a better next game, the data statistics, which should have been handled by Kuon Wataru, ultimately fell to Isagi.
He looked at Ryu. "What is your weapon?"
Isagi was very curious. If his guess was correct, it should be "Super Long-Range Shot." After all, he saw it all in the last game, and with that one goal... he shouldn't be wrong.
Ryu seemed to know his thoughts and smiled, "Speed."
"Speed?" Isagi's hand, holding the pen, paused, a bit stunned. "Aren't you very good at shooting?"
"Why would you say speed?"
Ryu tilted his head. "Who told you I'm very good at shooting? That's just basic technique!"
For a moment, everyone stared wide-eyed at Ryu, as if saying, "You're not kidding, are you?"
A fixed super long-range shot isn't strong, but only two people on the field could manage such a long distance.
And this isn't even his strongest weapon?
What kind of international joke is this?
Asahi Naruhaya directly asked, "We are doing this for better tactical distribution in the next game... please don't mess around, okay?"
There seemed to be some fear in his tone.
Ryu looked at him with a smile. "I'm not kidding, am I?"
"I told you that's really not my weapon. My weapons are speed, strength, and dominance on the field!"
"Who told you? That a person can only have one weapon?"
"Wouldn't that be too unfair?"
That's right, everyone possesses a special weapon that makes a player excel, but it never means a person can only have one such special weapon.
In Ryu's eyes, as long as this game continues.
One day, he will acquire the weapons these players all dream of...
With that, Ryu sat up. "The moment a player knows his weapon, he should know the upper limit of his own weapon. The concept of a weapon can be broadly defined as a person's strengths."
"I'm not mocking any of you here."
"Rather, I'm saying that not everyone necessarily possesses only one weapon."
"Some people don't even know their own weapons, and some are just all-rounders. Can you tell me what their weapons are?"
"So don't overreact."
"A weapon is just what you consider your strongest, but I consider every aspect of myself strong."
Endless silence...
The more they looked, the more this guy seemed to be showing off.
It did make it difficult for Isagi, who was filling out the forms, but he eventually wrote down the weapons Ryu had just mentioned.
Suddenly, he thought... he hadn't written down his own weapon yet, had he?
After hearing about so many weapons, it seemed only his weapon was somewhat special.
Spatial Awareness?
Isagi looked at everyone, asking when he didn't understand.
Hearing his description, everyone was a bit confused about its meaning...
After all, perhaps only Ryu understood the world through his eyes.
After skipping himself, Isagi then looked at Chigiri, who was sitting in the corner like a young lady. "What is your weapon?"
Chigiri replied indifferently, "Me? I know, but I don't want to say. Don't ask me!"
Three rejections in a row.
Raichi couldn't help but curse, "Don't mind this willful queen. This guy is just a gopher on the field anyway."
Isagi remained silent... and ultimately didn't press Chigiri, returning to his seat.
"In any case, powerful weapons are essential for us strikers."
"Only by clearly knowing our teammates' weapons can we better allocate positions..."
"So, for the next game, how about we arrange the positions like this?"
"Ryu as center forward, Kunigami as left forward..."
