Chapter 29 Football 29 The Creative Equation
Kunishin Rensuke has replaced Suoh Koki as the left winger, and now it's ten against ten on the field.
Team Y was delighted with this result.
By replacing Z team's top player with a single player, Z team's lifeline was effectively cut off, making it easy to win the game.
In addition, there's the Ice-Weaving Sheep that's entered Flow.
The situation on the field has completely reversed.
One ball.
Two balls.
Three balls.
Team Y's tactics revolve around Iceweave Sheep, as if the entire team has been revitalized by his arrival.
Jie Shiyi stared intently at the score, which was almost tied, feeling as if a huge boulder was pressing down on her heart, making it hard to breathe.
The puzzle he had been trying to piece together in his mind, a complete picture of Iceweave Sheep, was shattered one by one by Iceweave Sheep's precise goals, leaving only a mess of fragments.
Without Sumeru... can we really win?
The announcement of Ice Sheep's goal echoed throughout the stadium like a war drum, adding fuel to the fire of this fierce competition.
He stood at the edge of the penalty area, impatiently lifting the hem of his shirt and casually wiping the sweat from his forehead. His already somewhat listless blue eyes seemed to have been tinged with an even deeper blue, profound and sharp.
Thirty minutes later, the score was tied.
...Is this what Flow is?
That's really impressive.
Jie Shiyi stared speechlessly at the Ice Weaving Sheep, whose entire body was engulfed in flames.
"Didn't they say Flow wasn't some kind of transformation device? How did that guy suddenly become so strong?" Naruho Asahi shouted, bending over.
Iya Maru said blankly, "It really is a transformation device, right? The kind of transformation device that the protagonist uses to break through after encountering danger."
"Huh? Doesn't that make us supporting characters? Supporting characters are always going to lose, right?" Imamura Yudai covered his head with his hands, looking full of regret. "Damn it, if this were an otome game, I would definitely be the protagonist."
With his arms crossed, Izumi said to Hisako, "I told you, this guy definitely didn't come here to play football."
Raishi Jingo strode over aggressively and punched Imamura Yudai, saying, "Don't say things that boost others' morale!"
"……Feel sorry."
There are fifteen minutes left in the game.
Kunishin Rensuke kicks off, passing to Hiraku.
"Very good, very good." Feng Lehui smiled playfully, casually smoothing a strand of hair to one side, the golden highlights shimmering in the sunlight.
After saying that, he charged towards the Ice-Weaving Sheep holding the ball like an arrow, his eyes burning with a fierce fighting spirit to compete with his opponent.
"I'm so excited!"
Beehive displayed his breathtaking dribbling skills, as if weaving a magnificent dance on the green field. He first used his speed advantage to quickly close the distance to Iceweave Sheep.
A subtle feint made Bingzhiyang mistakenly believe that he was about to break through from the right side, and his body involuntarily made the corresponding adjustment.
This is precisely the trap that Beehive has carefully designed.
The moment the Ice-Woven Sheep's center of gravity shifted, Bee-Love suddenly stopped abruptly, followed by a quick reverse turn, as if time had reversed at that moment.
The movements were fluid and continuous, leaving the viewer breathless.
Excellent Marseille turn!
After completing the turn, Feng Lehui did not give his opponent any chance to breathe. He accelerated again, using his speed advantage to widen the distance between himself and his opponent, while constantly observing the positions of his teammates on the field.
Jie Shiyi had already quietly slipped along the boundary line to the gap in the opponent's defense, and Feng Lehui decisively delivered a precise long pass...
No, it was a feint.
Feng Lehui's left leg suddenly bent sharply, and at the moment his toe lightly touched the football, he hooked it to the right. The ball did not fly to the position where Jie Shiyi was as everyone expected, but instead slowly crossed the goal line with an almost imperceptible trajectory.
6:5
There are 5 minutes left in the game.
Suoh Hyoki stood at the edge of the court, his green eyes fixed on Hyoori Sheep, who was running hard on the court.
His heart was like the sea being whipped up by a raging storm, surging with countless thoughts.
The domesticated wild beast broke free of its restraints, resolutely bid farewell to its comfortable cage, and stepped into an unknown and challenging new world.
Before the fantasy life arrives, what enters the realm first is the most primitive and brutal battle for survival from reality.
In order to "survive," he had no choice but to imitate.
It's a pity he failed.
Both Kira Ryosuke and Amano Minaka failed.
I tried to convince myself that their methods weren't suitable for me, but my body's instincts led me to follow them involuntarily.
He was very similar to Suoh Hyo-ki; his tall stature and powerful physique allowed him to imitate him perfectly.
But despite all that, he still failed.
A swift falcon swooped down from the sky, its sharp talons tearing through the serpent's defenses like lightning, then devouring it piece by piece.
what do I do?
New, creative equations unfolded before his eyes.
His first reaction was not to conquer or depend on, but to restrict and hinder.
It's like an old man who has experienced many hardships facing a rapidly changing world, but instead of embracing it with an open mind, he stubbornly clings to his old habits and ideas, unwilling and afraid to take that step.
For him, being left behind was perhaps more humiliating than failure.
Player number 10 of Team Y stands in the center of the court.
With a crisp whistle, he calmly kicked off the game, and with a gentle flick of his toe, the football flew precisely to the location of Bingzhiyang.
Bingzhi Yang spread her hands slightly, her eyes fixed on the incoming ball, showing a high level of concentration as she prepared to receive this crucial first pass.
Just as Ice-Woo Sheep was about to secure control of the soccer ball, Kunigami Rensuke appeared in a flash to block her, using his physical advantage to stick close to Ice-Woo Sheep and extending an arm to interfere with Ice-Woo Sheep's vision and ball control rhythm.
Facing Kunishin Rensuke's tight defense, Hyoori Yoko displayed his composure and wisdom as a top striker.
Instead of forcing his way through, he quickly observed the situation on the field and decisively passed the ball to Y team's number 8, who was in a better position.
Unfortunately, Y team's number 8 receiving the ball failed to translate into an effective attack.
Raishi Jingo appeared in the passing lane and cleanly intercepted the ball.
"Let me show you my magnificent football."
After receiving the ball, Raishi Jingo did not hesitate and immediately took a shot.
His shot was powerful, whistling through the air as it hurtled towards Team Y's goal. Team Y's goalkeeper, however, stood firm like an impenetrable wall, blocking the ball and protecting the team's goal before passing it to Team Y's number 10.
BeeJoy has been poised to launch for some time.
He seized possession of the ball first, allowing Team Z to regain the initiative in the attack.
As Fernandez continued to advance, the opposing defense began to scramble, attempting to limit the speedy winger's breakthroughs by double-teaming him. However, Fernandez, with his excellent dribbling skills and keen insight, repeatedly turned the tide.
Faced with constant obstruction, Feng Lehui decisively delivered a precise through ball, which bypassed several defenders and found Jie Shiyi at his feet.
With Jie Shiyi taking another shot.
The match is over.
7:5
As the final whistle pierced the sky, Iceweave Sheep seemed to have all its strength drained away, collapsing heavily onto the grass. Its blue hair clung to its forehead with sweat, and its eyes shone with a tired yet satisfied light.
He was panting, his chest heaving, but a smile that was hard to describe appeared on his lips.
Not only him, but the W team and the Z team were also exhausted, some collapsed and others sat down.
Apart from Suoh Hyo-ki, who was sent off with a red card, none of them were still standing.
After an unknown amount of time, Bingzhiyang came to his senses and tried to stand up and leave, only to find Suoh Hyoki sitting not far from him.
“You…” Suoh Hyo-hee looked at Hyo-ji.
Ice-Weaving Sheep slowly stood up, his movements trembling slightly. He walked step by step toward Suoh Hyoki, and finally sat down in front of him. Their eyes met in the air.
"I found it."
Bingzhi Yang revealed a sly smile, suddenly leaned forward, and wrapped his arms around Suoh Hyoki's neck. His movements were somewhat childishly playful, and the two faced each other in a subtle posture.
The two voices overlapped.
Seemingly amused, Bingzhi Yang began to laugh loudly, and Suoh Hyoki was also infected by his laughter, his lips curving upwards, which left Jieshi standing to the side completely bewildered.
"...?"
Jie Shiyi was holding three bottles of water, completely baffled as to why the two of them were laughing like that.
Bingzhi Yang knew what Suwang Xiaoxi wanted to ask.
You have to find the answer yourself.
Wang Xiaoxi was completely oblivious to the situation.
Jie Shiyi walked over and handed the water to Bing Zhiyang and Xu Wangxiaoxi.
"Thank you, Jie."
Bingzhi Yang opened the bottle and drank it down in a big, sweeping motion. Water dripped down his neck and onto his arms, wetting Suoh Hyo-ki's collar.
After a long while, Suoh Hyoki said to Hyoori in a muffled voice, "Are you taking revenge?"
He disgustedly lifted the wet part of his clothes with his hand.
"Huh?"
Ice-Weaving Sheep laughed loudly and said, "Consider it revenge!"
A note from the author:
----------------------
The terms "Kira Ryosuke" and "Amano Minaka" here refer to their playing style.
The former is a true team effort; they pass the ball amicably and try their best to calm their teammates down. If that fails, winning the game is the priority. (That's why Wang Xiaoxi passes the ball during the game, but the feel of it is strange.)
The latter is an extreme group; they'll explode and trash talk when their team has weaknesses. (That's why, when Hyo-hee realized that Kiyoshi couldn't shoot, he chose not to pass the ball to Kiyoshi and instead let him continue in the striker position.)
Only after Jeong Se-il successfully scored did Suoh Hyo-hee begin to play his true style of football.
