Chapter 70 Football 70: Bullets Loaded
Clang—
The tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open with a loud bang.
A purple-haired boy wearing a red jersey came into everyone's view.
That was Rei-Oh Mikage, who had just finished her match.
Reio Mikage moved swiftly, taking only a few steps to reach the crowd. He slightly raised his chin and looked directly at Ryosuke Kira.
"Kira-kun, I heard you're still looking for an opponent."
As he spoke, Mikage Reio narrowed his eyes slightly, a slightly provocative smile playing on his lips, and said, "How about a match with us?"
This was not an impulsive or whimsical act, but a choice made after careful consideration and repeated weighing of options. To defeat Nagi Seishiro, he needed a stronger opponent. Most of the top 20 teams had already entered the four-on-four stage, leaving only Kira Ryosuke and Suoh Koki's team in the three-on-three stage as the most challenging opponent.
Especially Suoh Hyoki.
In the match between Team V and Team V, he was like a sharp sword, his excellent skills and fierce attacks making him unforgettable for Rei Wing.
So Reio Mikage arrived.
A proud king should be equipped with the sharpest sword in the world.
"It's Rei-oh."
Kira Ryosuke smiled slightly, a bright smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet Mikage Reio.
Amano Minaka often had heart-to-heart talks with Mikage Reio, and occasionally Kira Ryosuke would join in. This made the relationship between Kira Ryosuke and Mikage Reio quite familiar.
Kira Ryosuke said apologetically, "But I'm sorry, we already have someone who wants to compete, so how about you..."
Just then, a familiar voice drifted from beside Mikage Reio.
"Ling Wang..."
Upon hearing the sound, Reio Mikage subconsciously turned his head slightly and saw Seishiro Nagi putting down his phone, his deep gaze seemingly carrying a substantial weight as he looked over.
It was only then that Mikage Reio noticed that the medical room was packed with people, including Kira Ryosuke, Suoh Koki, Kiyoichi, and... Nagi Seishiro.
What's he doing here? Shouldn't they have already moved on to the next stage?
Despite a multitude of thoughts swirling in his mind, Reio Mikage maintained a calm demeanor on the surface. He slightly raised his chin, his gaze seemingly fixed blankly on Ryosuke Kira, but in reality, he cautiously glanced at Seishiro Nagi out of the corner of his eye. A barely perceptible hint of wariness flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously tightened slightly.
Suoh Koki nodded slightly to Mikage Rei-o as a greeting.
The atmosphere in the entire medical room subtly became somewhat delicate due to the gathering of these individuals.
"Why don't you two have a fight?"
Suoh Kōki first looked at Kiyō Seiichi, and then slowly turned his gaze to Mikage Reiō and made the suggestion.
This proposal was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.
Jie Shiyi and Mi Yingling reacted particularly strongly, and the two of them exploded instantly.
Jie Shiyi's face showed lingering fear as she slowly raised her hand and gently stroked her hair, seemingly recalling some unpleasant past. Meanwhile, Yu Yingling Wang slightly turned her head away, her lips tightly pressed together, remaining silent, her eyes revealing a hint of resistance and displeasure.
Suoh Koki's expression was indifferent, his emerald eyes, like deep, dark pools, turned slightly toward Kira Ryosuke.
The two exchanged a glance and nodded knowingly.
“Although I don’t know which team he’s on yet, I already have an opponent I want to play against.” Suoh Koki’s voice was clear and firm. “Of course, Ryosuke is one of them.”
He was to win against Shido Ryusei, as agreed with Amanominaka, and then forfeit and lose to Amanominaka.
Just as a devout believer offers the most beautiful flowers to the supreme deity.
Suoh Hyo-ki understood that this was unfair to the two sons, but... he would guarantee that he would not lose any other match except for that one.
"Huh? I think I heard my name."
Then another person appeared at the door.
Shido Ryusei appeared before everyone wearing the same bright red jersey as Mikage Reio.
He gripped the door frame tightly with both hands, leaned forward slightly, a wicked smile on his face, and his eyes darted around before finally settling on Suoh Hyo-ki.
"It's you!"
Shido Ryusei suddenly pushed aside Kiyoshi and Mikage Reio, who were blocking his way, and strode towards Suoh Koki and Kira Ryosuke, raising his eyebrows provocatively as if declaring war on them.
"Want to have a match?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Reio Mikage frowned. He had seen what that guy was like on the court; he was as fierce as a wild beast.
Fearing that Shido Ryusei might cause trouble in the medical room, she hurriedly reached out her hands, trying to pull Shido Ryusei away from the doorway.
"They already have..." candidates who want to compete.
Before Mikage Reio could finish speaking, Suou Koki's clear yet incredibly firm voice suddenly rang out: "Alright."
These two simple words left Reio Mikage frozen in place, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Huh?"
Reio Mikage's voice unconsciously rose eight octaves, her mouth slightly open, looking incredulous.
"Is this the guy you wanted?"
He quickly recalled Shido Ryusei's various performances on the court, and the more he recalled, the more complicated his expression became.
I have indeed heard that this guy has worked with Kira Ryosuke and Suoh Koki. ...Could it be that their collaboration went very well?
I hope I haven't been scammed.
He looked up at the two of them and saw Kira Ryosuke nod. Mikage Reio was even more incredulous.
I guess I was scammed after all.
Reio Mikage instinctively tried to make amends for the two of them.
After all, it's impossible for such an unruly guy to be so popular, right?
But whether she was deceived or not, this was the outcome that Mikage Reio wanted.
Reio Mikage had only one thought—to defeat Suoh Koki.
Then defeat Nagi Seishiro.
"Then let's have a competition."
This is not the voice of any of the four of them.
Those present turned their attention to the speaker.
Nagi Seishiro raised his hand and said nonchalantly, "We're still missing someone who can pass the ball accurately."
As he finished speaking, he nudged Jie Shiyi beside him lightly with his elbow, "Right? Jie?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Jie Shiyi like spotlights.
Caught off guard by the sudden attention, Jie Shiyi blushed and awkwardly touched her hair, stammering, "Ah... um?"
Jie Shiyi didn't really want to compete with Mikage Rei-ou.
In his view, what his team currently lacks is a powerful player who can break through all obstacles with sheer passion, not someone like Reio Mikage who has to weigh the pros and cons of everything. Besides, they've already poached a speed-type player that the team desperately needs from Reio Mikage.
Although the team's loss in the previous four-on-four match seemed to confirm Nagi Seishiro's point of view - what they urgently need at this stage is a key player who can pass the ball steadily no matter how difficult the situation.
Just as Jie Shiyi was deep in thought, his mind racing, Suou Hyoki strode forward and decisively interrupted his brainstorming session.
"It was Mikage who agreed to it first."
Suoh Koki walked to Mikage Reio's side, nodded slightly, and gestured for Mikage Reio to follow him elsewhere to discuss the match time.
Kira Ryosuke stood to the side, a hint of apology on his face, and said apologetically to Kiyoshi, "Sorry, Kiyoshi."
"Next time, we'll have a chance to compete."
——
The whistle blew sharply.
Green Team vs. Red Team.
Kira Ryosuke, Suoh Koki, and the two sons Yihui versus Sengoku Shin Rensuke, Mikage Reiou, and Shido Ryusei.
This is the Green Team's first game in this stage, and Erzi Yihui is eager to try.
The ball was touched and shot immediately after the kickoff, heading straight for the goal. It hurtled towards the red team's goal like a football.
This powerful shot instantly alerted the Red Team players, with Kunishin Rensuke being the first to react and quickly retreating to defend.
Kunishin Rensuke's eyes were fixed on the football. He sprinted forward with lightning speed, trying to stop the ball before it went into the net.
The football gradually slowed down as it flew towards the goal. It looked like Kunishin Rensuke was about to intercept the ball.
Suddenly, a white figure shot out from the side like lightning.
Kira Ryosuke suddenly exerted force with both legs and leaped into the air.
The whole world seemed to stand still beneath his feet, and time itself slowed down for his spectacular moment.
The moment his right leg touched the ball, he immediately unleashed a powerful shot. The ball flew like a bullet, carrying unparalleled speed and power, sweeping across half the field.
1:0
They scored the first goal in less than a minute.
