Chapter 8 Football 08 I will only choose 'right'.
A higher perspective, a comprehensive view, and the ability to precisely deliver the black and white ball to his feet, regardless of its location.
That's really impressive, Tenno Minaka.
Every pass was precise and accurate, as if Amano Minaka existed solely for Shido Ryusei. The balls he specifically passed to him always arrived at Shido Ryusei's feet at the most crucial moments, like perfectly synchronized partners.
The accumulated pleasure surged like a tidal wave, about to reach its ultimate peak.
This is a stage exclusively for Shido Ryusei, where all the focus and spotlight will converge on him.
Shido Ryusei adjusted his breathing and rhythm, then suddenly exerted force and shot the ball toward the goal.
The ball traced a beautiful arc in the air, heading straight for the goal.
"You do have some skills, don't you?"
Shido Ryusei confidently walked towards Amano Minaka, then affectionately put his arm around Amano Minaka's neck, a smug smile playing on his lips. "Maka, give me your LINE, how about it?"
"With your skills, you'll be able to get three points very quickly."
Amano Minaka frowned slightly, turning his body slightly to avoid Shido Ryusei's hand that was trying to touch his shoulder again. His golden eyes revealed a hint of indifference.
Does this person not practice social distancing?
Amano Minaka did not say much, but chose to ignore Shido Ryusei and walked straight towards Suoh Koki.
Seeing this, Shido Ryusei's lips curled into a provocative smile. He glanced at Tennominaka, then turned to Suou Koki, who was walking towards them, a hint of mockery in his eyes. He made an exaggerated face and made a dog-like sound: "Woof!"
Suoh Hyo-ki's eyes were as deep as pools, a sharp glint of hatred flashing within their green hue.
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, as if shrouded in an invisible black mist.
The fog was cold and heavy, making Suoh Koki's figure appear even more solitary and resolute. He turned around without hesitation, leaving Amanomichi staring blankly as Suoh Koki, who should have walked to his side, disappeared into the distance.
Amano Minaka turned to look at Kira Ryosuke, a hint of confusion in his eyes, "What's wrong with him?"
Kira Ryosuke awkwardly touched his neck and shook his head.
"……have no idea."
The match begins with Team Z kicking off.
When Team Z's Yuichi Imamura touched the ball, two tall opponents—Koki Suoh and Ryusei Shido—rushed towards him from two different directions.
The two men moved swiftly and decisively, like two bolts of lightning streaking across the sky.
Shido Ryusei forcefully pressed against Suoh Koki, preventing him from moving forward, while Suoh Koki retaliated with equal force.
"Not bad, kid!"
Shido Ryusei felt this powerful resistance and said with admiration.
Suoh Kōki remained silent, taking it as Shidō Ryūsei's provocation.
As he got closer and closer to Z team forward Yuta Imamura, who was holding the ball, Shido Ryusei made a sudden turn and stopped, knocking him to the ground.
In that instant, the football under Imamura Daiyu's foot seemed to be swallowed up by an invisible force, disappearing without a trace.
Suoh Hyoki's movements were so fast that they were almost impossible to catch, leaving only a slight pressure fluctuation in the air.
Shido Ryusei, who had been lying on the ground, leaped up with astonishing speed, instantly appearing to Suoh Koki's left, and with lightning speed, tackled the ball directly out of bounds.
? !
This sudden scene seemed familiar to the Z team players. The sight before them was strikingly similar to what had happened in their previous match against the X team.
Stealing the ball from teammates, intercepting the ball, disregarding the positions of teammates and themselves, blindly pursuing personal attacks and tackles, and playing a selfish style of play that only cares about their own interests.
This familiar scene is playing out again, only this time the protagonists are Suoh Koki and Shido Ryusei.
Even during their internal conflict, the two players moved swiftly and decisively, giving Team Z no chance to retaliate. They seemed to see themselves as the masters of the court, their every action driven by personal desires and interests.
Kira Ryosuke frowned as he watched the fierce battle between Suoh Koki and Shido Ryusei on the field. Sparks seemed to fly between their eyes.
Kira Ryosuke sighed deeply.
If they continue playing like this, won't they start fighting on the field?
"Your playing style is chaotic and disorganized; you have absolutely no chance of beating me."
Shido Ryusei completely ignored the fact that Team Z's Hiramaki had already stood on the boundary line and thrown the ball. He spread his arms, palms facing up, as if he controlled the entire field, and said to Suoh Koki in a condescending manner: "Football is a sport that pursues instinct."
Suoh Hyo-hee bypassed him and intercepted Team Z's pass.
instinct?
Suoh Hyo-hee chuckled coldly, trying to mask his disappointment with his mockery, but a hint of melancholy inadvertently showed in his eyes.
Using instinct to play football does not conform to the rigorous tactical system established by Tennominaka.
Everything on the football field requires clear thinking and calm judgment to grasp.
Only by maintaining a clear mind can one perceive every detail on the field. Only by keeping one's mind calm can one's existence and value be fully demonstrated in the game.
Wang Xiaoxi must be absolutely certain of this.
But why?!
You, who firmly believed in reason, succumbed to instinct.
Suoh Koki stared at Shido Ryusei, who kept moving closer to Tennominaka, his eyes swirling with uncontrollable ripples of emotion.
His conviction began to waver as Jie Shiyi once again deftly snatched the ball from his feet.
Especially when he saw Shido Ryusei, the player known for his "instinctive" football style, successfully steal the ball from him and score a goal once again, Suoh Hyoki's mental defenses completely collapsed.
Suoh Koki helplessly turned his gaze to Amanomichi, hoping to find answers and guidance there.
Amano Minaka simply watched the match quietly, offering no response.
"Are you playing the game, or are you playing for him?"
Jie Shiyi grinned maliciously, snatched the ball from Suoh Hyoki's feet again, and taunted, "If this keeps up, that guy probably won't pass the ball to you anymore, right?"
Jie Shiyi's words struck Suoh Hyoki's deepest, most profound heart like a hammer blow. Standing on the court, a wave of turmoil surged within him, and he couldn't help but begin to question himself.
Am I playing football? Or am I playing for him?
Why did I start playing football?
How do I play football again?
Just as Jie Shiyi was about to say something, Kira Ryosuke suddenly appeared to Jie Shiyi's side and easily stole the football from his feet.
In that instant, it was as if time itself stood still.
Are you confused by my choice?
Kira Ryosuke glanced sideways at Kiyoshi, whose face had instantly turned ugly, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"You still need to keep going, Jie-jun."
Jie Shiyi was filled with confusion and bewilderment. He had clearly seen Kira Ryosuke's movements, but the speed and precision of the attack left him feeling powerless to change anything.
His mind seemed to be frozen by an invisible force, becoming blank and unable to make any effective response.
"Seeing something and being able to keep up are two different things."
Kira Ryosuke spoke softly, his tone revealing an arrogant confidence. His smile grew even brighter, but in Kiyoshi's eyes, it appeared so dark and profound.
"Next, I'll only choose 'right'. Let's see how far you can go, Jie."
Ryosuke Kira kept his word and chose the "right" as his direction of attack.
Kira Ryosuke flashed forward, and the soccer ball flew towards the goal like an arrow.
During this 25-meter stretch, Kira Ryosuke's milky-white hair flowed freely due to the intense movements, and his light brown eyes sparkled with a smile and unfathomable arrogance.
Jie Shiyi stared wide-eyed at the arc of the ball rapidly heading towards the goal. His heart was filled with helplessness and frustration; he knew he couldn't stop the shot.
But Jie Shiyi did not give up and struggled to catch up, but his movements seemed so slow and weak.
Just as Jie Shiyi was about to reach the penalty area, the football struck the goal hard.
The net then shook violently, making a loud "bang".
Kira Ryosuke stood in one corner of the court, his gaze fixed on Suoh Koki, his heart filled with worry. He clearly saw a barely perceptible fluctuation appear on Suoh Koki's face.
Kira Ryosuke was unaware of the specifics of what had happened.
But he knew that emotional stability was key to victory in football.
Any slight emotional fluctuation can affect a player's performance and even determine the outcome of the entire match.
Especially the upcoming national-level football matches.
"middle!"
Upon hearing the voice, Tenno Minaka turned around and his gaze met Kira Ryosuke's.
Kira Ryosuke tentatively asked, "What do you think of Blue Prison?"
Amano Minaka frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about the question.
His thoughtful gaze swept over the thousand-horse chariot and finally landed on Suoh Hyoki.
Amano Minaka said in a deep voice, "I can't tell whether it's good or bad for the time being, but I don't plan to stay here any longer."
"Being plagued by negative emotions on the eve of a competition is not a good sign."
Amano Minaka didn't know what had happened to Suoh Koki, but he could clearly see that something was wrong with him.
"Let's end this game quickly."
