Hearing this laughter, everyone looked at Ryu, thinking he had some illness.
Isn't it just intercepting a ball?
Is it necessary?
But this scene, only Bachira saw it, his eyes smiling like a crescent moon.
As the person who understood Ryu best, he rarely saw Ryu in this state anymore. Before coming here, no matter what competition he participated in, Ryu was always uninterested.
It seemed that for him, beating those opponents, winning, or losing all depended on his mood.
Perhaps this is why Ryu got excited.
In this Blue Lock, there were even stronger existences than him, and he could also see the expressions of these powerful existences being crushed by him.
At this moment, he finally no longer felt bored.
However, Isagi Yoichi had no idea that his precise calculation had completely unleashed a monster; at this moment, his eyes held only one shot.
He vaguely remembered Barou and Raichi's words just now.
Someone who doesn't even dare to shoot is not worthy of being a forward...
Isagi is not a coward!
Just then, Barou had caught up. He turned his fierce gaze to meet Isagi Yoichi's, sneering, "A rookie who doesn't even dare to shoot at the goal—are you bringing the ball here to give it to me?"
But Isagi didn't respond to him; a startling aura seemed to erupt from his pupils.
He suddenly stopped in place in the time it took Barou to buffer and stop his body.
Isagi hooked the ball with one foot; after the ball flew to a certain height, he powerfully volleyed it directly.
With a "Boom!" sound.
The ball went directly towards the top left corner of the goal, scoring!
Isagi raised his left arm high, and after two seconds of silence, he shouted out directly.
And all the players ran over.
At this moment, Isagi's gaze suddenly looked at Ryu, meeting that corrosive gaze head-on. His original excitement immediately dissipated by more than half...
After all, his goal was equivalent to snatching Ryu's.
Seeing Ryu already walking in front of him, Isagi was about to apologize...
Ryu revealed a smile. "Indeed... only here can a true monster be created. Isagi, you're very good."
"Did you predict that I would move with that last shot?"
Isagi nodded blankly. He had no idea that Ryu coming to him wasn't to blame him but to ask this question.
"Hey... Isagi got this point."
"So what if he stole your ball? Didn't it still go in?" Little Monk saw Isagi, his fellow sufferer, being approached by Ryu and thought it was because of that last shot. Although he was a bit scared, he immediately rushed over, his expression a bit arrogant.
Ryu didn't even spare him a glance but continued to ask, "You can predict my movements in advance, relying on that feeling when you first passed the ball to my feet, right?"
Isagi frowned, "You know?"
Although he didn't understand what that feeling was, he truly did, as others said, have a pair of eyes on his back, able to constantly notice the movements on the field.
And in that state, he could easily determine where the ball would be passed.
But sometimes it would also exceed his expectations.
For example, he thought the ball would go to Raichi, but he didn't expect it would ultimately be snatched by Kuyon Wataru...
"A very good ability," Ryu praised, and then turned away, leaving Isagi in doubt. But at the moment of turning, his voice slowly sounded, "Isagi, if your performance from now on cannot keep me interested,"
"Then I will personally crush your dream."
Isagi shivered all over. He knew that what came out of this guy's mouth was true.
Little Monk snorted from the side, "Who does this guy think he is?"
"Isn't it just scoring two goals?"
"One day, I'll show him what I can do too."
But this sentence was immediately interrupted. Naruhaya checked his shoes and sarcastically said, "You're not on the same level as him. If he gets serious, what's left for you?"
"What did you say?"
Seeing the two about to quarrel, everyone gathered around.
Raichi was full of defiance, but he was clearly still unhappy about the ball being snatched. However, seeing Isagi snatch Ryu's ball, his mood immediately improved a lot.
Of course, Kunigami and Chigiri exchanged glances; this guy was still cursing just now.
The end of this match was approaching quickly.
Next, they only needed to defend until time ran out, and they would have defeated Team X....
"So the next goal... we..." Before Isagi could continue,
Bachira shrugged from the side, "Don't think about defending. Even if we concede another goal in this match, the worst-case scenario is just a draw."
"Instead of accepting a draw, why can't we create another miracle like before?"
"Like intercepting Ryu's ball again?"
Isagi gave a bitter smile. "Please, that last shot was just luck."
"Luck is also part of strength," Bachira said with a laugh.
Kunigami rubbed his hands together. "So we maintain the previous state and continue to attack?"
"I agree!" Raichi was the first to raise his hand in agreement. He had been playing too stifled; every time he was about to touch the ball, it was intercepted by others or stolen.
He desperately needed a goal to rekindle his love for playing soccer.
[Hahaha... so funny, Raichi has a bad temper, but it seems there's nothing wrong with what this guy says; after all, these people are all selfish, none of them are good!]
[Indeed, I can already imagine, if Raichi's goal is snatched away again, this guy will probably stand on the field and start spitting!]
"Okay, it's decided then. We'll still use the same method for the next play!" Isagi echoed.
Just then, the starting whistle sounded.
Everyone returned to their respective positions.
Team X had also strategized just now. Clearly, both teams had fully entered the zone, but their remaining stamina should have reached its critical point.
This final point would determine the ultimate victory.
Barou stood at the forefront of Team X, glancing at the score.
2:3.
If he wanted to win, he would have to score at least two goals in a short time... or score one goal to make it a draw; otherwise, he would be the one with half a foot in the abyss.
Thinking of this, the veins on his forehead bulged.
"All of you, pass the ball to me when you get it!"
