Chapter 83 Football Match
The essence of a businessman is to pursue profit.
Things that have no value or meaning will not be chosen.
Rei-ou Mikage lowered her eyes and stared at her bruised palms, where fine beads of blood were seeping from the unhealed abrasions on her knuckles.
How much value can this body still create?
—I want to demonstrate my value so that I won't be abandoned again.
As the heir to a merchant family with 708 billion yen, Rei-ou Mikage knows that everything in the world has a price tag attached.
The competition was fierce and intense, and the air was thick with a suffocating tension.
Jie Shiyi channeled all his strength into his right leg and slammed it into the center of the soccer ball. In an instant, the soccer ball shot out like a black and white lightning bolt, accompanied by a whistling sound, tearing through the air at incredible speed.
As soon as the football whistled through the air, Qianqie Baoma dashed off like an arrow. The ball came precisely to his feet, and he sprinted forward with it, his figure a red whirlwind across the grass.
The sudden, rapid breathing from his right startled Senkiri Hyoma. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure—it was Kira Ryosuke!
Kira Ryosuke swiftly cut into the path of Senkiri Hyoba's charge like a ghost. The two figures instantly became entangled, leaving spiraling afterimages on the lush green lawn, like two dragons locked in combat.
"Interesting, you actually managed to keep up with me?"
Qianqie Baoma's lips curled into a sharp smile, his eyes filled with provocation and excitement. "How about this?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity, and the bulging calf muscles under his socks instantly bulged with veins as hard as steel. His sprint speed increased again, the hem of his jersey fluttering, leaving a blurry red afterimage behind him.
Kira Ryosuke's fingertips barely brushed against the hem of his clothes, and the grass clippings kicked up by his shoe studs drew an unwilling arc in the air.
But an even greater shadow has already descended upon us.
Suoh Hyogi, strong and muscular, blocked Senkiri Hyoma's path. Senkiri Hyoma was violently struck by his powerful body, and he staggered backward involuntarily, his confidence and defiance instantly replaced by astonishment.
At that moment, the soccer ball was lightly lifted by Suoh Koki's toe, as if it had been given life. It nimbly leaped over Senkiri Hyoma, and also passed Nagi Seishiro, who was following closely behind and ready to make his move, and headed straight for Mikage Reio, who was further ahead.
The moment Mikage Reio received the ball, the four members of the White Team had already surrounded him.
"very good."
Sweat dripped down his sharply defined jawline, his gaze sweeping across the impenetrable defense before settling on the two pieces poised to strike at the sidelines.
Um?
Futaka Ichie met Reio Mikage's gaze with some confusion. His original plan was to wait for the White Team to steal the ball and then intercept it from a blind spot.
Rei-Oh Mikage narrowed her eyes almost imperceptibly, a dark light gleaming in her purple pupils.
Is he going to pass the ball? At this moment?
Erzi waved his hand, a feeling of disbelief welling up inside him, his hands trembling with excitement.
Passing the ball at that angle and distance?
"Are you crazy..." Erzi gritted his teeth, but his legs accelerated uncontrollably. Sparks flew from his sneakers on the grass, and his emerald green eyes, hidden by his bangs, reflected the desperate situation of Mikage Rei-oh being surrounded by four people.
Despite his doubts and anxieties, he ran forward without hesitation.
The piercing whistle of the football shattered everyone's expectations. Reio Mikage's instep was taut as the ball, with incredible spin, pierced through a four-man defense, the resulting gust of air whipping up Hyoma Senkiri's hair. At that moment, everyone froze, as if time itself had stood still.
"As expected of the King of Ling." Senkiri Hyoma swept his hair forward, a look of admiration on his face.
"Ah, as expected of the Queen of Rei." Nagi Seishiro repeated dryly, his eyes filled with shock.
Futaka swung the ball, feeling its weight, his expression shifting from confusion to delight. He could hardly believe his eyes—Reio Mikage had actually done it! This guy was a genius!
Jie Shiyi was closest to him, so she turned around and ran towards the ball.
But the ball was passed to Kira Ryosuke even faster.
With his speed, Senkiri Hyoma caught up with Kira Ryosuke, and two streaks of light, one red and one white, intertwined and flashed across the green lawn.
The soccer ball was gently flicked by Kira Ryosuke's instep, but just as it was about to slip out of his control, Senkiri Hyoma hooked it back with his heel. The instant the two started moving at the same time, the grass clippings, like green scales tossed about by a tornado, refracted tiny spots of light in the sunlight.
Kira Ryo delivered a clever lob pass, sending the ball high into the center of the penalty area. Mikage Reio leaped high, controlling the ball with her chest in mid-air, and then, before it hit the ground, unleashed a powerful shot. The football, like a black lightning bolt, flew straight towards the goal. The White Team's virtual goalkeeper reacted swiftly, diving to save the shot.
The ball landed on the edge of the penalty area, and Reio Mikage quickly moved in and regained control. At this moment, Ryosuke Kira had already shaken off Hyoma Senkiri and reached the left side of the penalty area. Without hesitation, Reio Mikage delivered a precise pass to Ryosuke Kira's feet.
—The ball was finally passed to Suoh Hyo-ki, who was closer to the White Team's goal.
He touched the ball at his feet in disbelief, then looked up to see players rushing towards him. Whether it was the white team or the green team, they all had only one goal—the football at Suoh Hyo-ki's feet.
It actually got sent to me?
Suoh Hyo-hee thought the next game would be like Team Z, with everyone fighting for the ball.
It wasn't until Kira Ryosuke passed the ball to him that he realized he was wrong.
He didn't play the ball recklessly, nor did he steal the ball from his teammates.
All the actions were passionate and sincere.
All you need to do is shoot.
All we need to do is score a goal.
The strikers are the ones who stand out in the most exciting part of the game, and the guy who scores the most goals is the "core" of the team.
They each used their skills to attract other players to pass them the ball.
It's like they're fighting their own battles, yet also like they're cooperating with each other.
With his astonishing strength and speed, Suoh Koki rampaged across the court, unstoppable. Kira Ryosuke, on the other hand, relied on his superb skills and keen insight to always find a breakthrough at crucial moments.
The entire arena seemed to be set ablaze, with a fiery atmosphere permeating every corner.
Even though there were only eight players on the field, the enthusiastic atmosphere made it seem as if you could hear the thunderous shouts of the audience, making you feel as if you were in a world-class competition.
This feeling is so strange.
Jie Shiyi clutched her heart, letting it pound violently.
This is a different kind of selfish kicking style from Blue Prison.
Bang bang bang bang.
My heart is pounding.
Instinct tells Kiyoshi again to pass the ball to him (Ryosuke Kira/Koki Suoh).
Even if they are opponents.
They made the game exciting.
The temperature gradually rises.
It's going to catch fire!
The Ice-Weaving Sheep's interception came silently.
When Suoh Koki received Kira's pass, the boy, who always wore an elegant smile, lowered his body.
A sly smile crept across Bingzhi Yang's lips. He pressed his shoulder against Suoh Hyoki's chest and spoke in a wicked yet polite tone, "I will depose you, 'King'."
Suoh Hyo-hee, showing no weakness, tensed his muscles and inserted his left leg into the ice-woven sheep's □, intercepting the ball.
Suoh Hyo-ki's gaze shifted and settled on the Ice-Woven Sheep. "It seems your challenge has failed."
"The crown of kings is now on my head."
Ice-woven Sheep found herself earlier than Suga Hyo-hee, her spirit became aware of the constraints earlier than [unclear], and her reason took the lead.
But a shift in thinking cannot instantly lead to change.
Ice-Weaving Sheep's self is built on fiction, and it could collapse at any moment.
"Yeah?"
With a clever change of direction, Ice-Woo Sheep successfully stole the ball from Suoh Hyo-ki's feet.
Suoh Hyogi wasn't about to give up so easily. He quickly turned around and charged, knocking Hyogi off balance. Hyogi fell to the ground, and the referee blew his whistle. Suoh Hyogi received a yellow card for his excessive force.
But the ball returned to Suoh Hyo-ki's feet. Without hesitation, he quickly got up and continued dribbling forward.
Reio Mikage quickly ran over and coordinated with Koki Suoh. Reio Mikage gave a signal, and Koki Suoh understood immediately. He gently passed the ball to Reio Mikage.
After receiving the ball, Reio Mikage feigned a shot, drawing the attention of most of the players. Taking advantage of this, Koki Suoh quickly surged forward from the other side, and Reio Mikage passed the ball back to him.
Wang Xiaoxi, facing an open space, took a shot directly.
"good"
The Green Team scored again.
2:1
After that goal, Reio Mikage successfully integrated into the team.
The king's game has begun, and everyone is a pawn in Mikage Reiko's game.
What he needs next is to master that "sharp blade".
