Wakabayashi Genzo possessed a willpower that surpassed steel. Even though his hands still throbbed faintly from his earlier injuries, he showed no sign of retreat!
"Ahhhhhhh!"
He shouted as he unleashed even greater strength, successfully knocking the ball away!
Defensive success!
"It's not over yet!"
Even though Wakabayashi Genzo had just stopped Hyuga Kojiro's Tiger Shot, there was no sign of relaxation on his face!
Possession had not yet been decided, and the attack was not over!
The ball was deflected away, and Kunigami Rensuke immediately sprinted toward its landing point!
But someone else reached the soccer ball before him!
Ariko Juubei!
His height and jumping ability allowed him to touch the ball a step before Kunigami Rensuke!
"I, shining across the sky!"
Ariko Juubei shouted as he put all his strength into passing the ball to the other side!
Barou Shoei was charging forward at full speed!
"Nice work, Ariko. I'll reward you by letting you witness my coronation from the best spot!"
Barou Shoei said this as he expertly trapped the ball with his chest, then accelerated toward the goal!
But Kira Ryosuke struck again!
Like a guardian deity, Kira Ryosuke gave Barou Shoei no room to shoot!
"Say, has someone become this delusional already? The emperor in new clothes!"
Kira Ryosuke said with a grin.
"You bastard!"
Barou Shoei's expression turned serious. Kira Ryosuke's defensive speed was truly terrifying.
Not only that, but Kuon Ranze and the others had also closed in from the sides, giving Barou Shoei no chance to attack!
But Barou Shoei was no longer the brainless player he used to be, the kind who would attack the moment he received the ball.
Just as Lorenzo had said, all of Jubilo would become his shoulders.
Then let Jubilo become the steps to his coronation!
