"Even if I don't have talent, I won't give up so easily!!!!!!"
Naruhaya Asahi shouted loudly, pouring all his strength into it, as if burning himself out. He stomped one foot down, forcefully maintaining his balance.
He hadn't lost his defensive position!
"Oh?"
Naruhaya Asahi's action surprised Nagi Seishiro slightly.
However, it was only a slight surprise. Even though Naruhaya Asahi hadn't lost his defensive position immediately, he was now unable to change his posture or center of gravity.
He would still be bypassed.
"In the end, isn't it still useless effort? Why create unnecessary trouble?"
Nagi Seishiro pulled his left foot back, turned, and bypassed Naruhaya Asahi once again. The movement was fluid and beautiful.
At the same time, he bought himself enough space to shoot.
"Take them down, Nagi!"
Mikage Reo shouted excitedly from the side, and Nagi Seishiro had already raised his foot to shoot.
In front of him, the goalkeeper Iemon's heart pounded, as if it were about to explode. He knew he absolutely had to block this shot.
But, could he really do it?
Nagi Seishiro was a monster.
Everyone on Team Z held their breath at this moment.
"Got them."
Nagi Seishiro said softly. At this instant, his toe touched the soccer ball--
"You say that's useless effort?"
Kira Ryosuke's voice echoed in Nagi Seishiro's ear.
Nagi Seishiro's eyes snapped open wide.
This was the first time he had shown a surprised expression.
Kira Ryosuke was already behind him, touching the ball with even greater speed!
Interference successful!
The shot was disrupted, and Iemon immediately rushed forward, hugging the ball tightly.
Defense successful!
"What!?"
Mikage Reo froze slightly. He hadn't expected Nagi Seishiro's shot to be disrupted directly.
He didn't understand why Kira Ryosuke would be in that position.
When he turned to look at Tsurugi Zantetsu, who was chasing after him, Mikage Reo finally realized what had happened.
"This guy, he crossed Tsurugi's encirclement and rushed back to defend at top speed?! How is that possible?!"
The smile on Mikage Reo's face completely vanished, and he loudly berated Tsurugi Zantetsu:
"You idiot, you can't even do this right?!"
Even so, Mikage Reo knew very well that this wasn't Tsurugi Zantetsu's fault.
It was Kira Ryosuke's strength that was terrifyingly beyond their imagination.
From the front to the back to defend, catching up to Nagi Seishiro, what kind of monster was this guy!
"Fall back, fall back!"
With the attack foiled, Mikage Reo could only organize his teammates to retreat.
"It's fine, Nagi! It was just luck! We'll defend this round and seize the next opportunity!"
Nagi Seishiro was stunned for a moment, still caught in surprise. He didn't know how Kira Ryosuke had done it, but he quickly snapped back to reality and followed his teammates back, constantly muttering to himself:
"Defend, defend, we must defend!"
"That was so timely, Kira!"
Seeing Kira Ryosuke arrive just in time to defend, Naruhaya Asahi almost burst into tears.
If it weren't for Kira Ryosuke, Nagi Seishiro would have likely scored.
Kira Ryosuke patted his shoulder and smiled, saying:
"It's thanks to you. Because you defended so desperately, Nagi Seishiro had to make more moves, giving me that precious second. Leave the rest to me."

Chapter 62: Ultra-Long Distance Cannon Shot, Kill the Game!
"Let's take the match in one go."
Kira Ryosuke shifted his gaze to Team V's goal.
"This round of offense has already decided the victory. We need to properly show those guys who were talking big what they're made of."
"Yeah!"
"Victory will definitely be ours, Team Z!"
"Take them down!"
Kira Ryosuke's excellent defensive play just now was like a shot of adrenaline for the entire team, stabilizing their morale.
Next, it was time to teach those guys who had mocked them a harsh lesson!
Iemon kicked off, and Team Z's counterattack began!
Kira Ryosuke had already dribbled the ball past the halfway line.
"Defense, defense!"
Mikage Reo shouted anxiously. No matter what, they had to stop this ball.
"Got it!"
Tsurugi Zantetsu immediately rushed forward, trying to block Kira Ryosuke.
But the opponent had already easily bypassed him, without even using a dribbling move, relying solely on speed.
At this moment, Tsurugi Zantetsu was exhausted from his previous full-power defense and could no longer achieve that exaggerated acceleration, posing no threat to Kira Ryosuke.
As soon as Tsurugi Zantetsu was bypassed, a tall figure appeared before Kira Ryosuke.
Nagi Seishiro.
Sweat covered Nagi Seishiro's forehead, and his gaze had become more determined.
In his eyes, there was only Kira Ryosuke.
Nagi Seishiro stared intently at Kira Ryosuke, vowing not to let Kira Ryosuke distract him with feints again.
This time, he was determined to lock down Kira Ryosuke!
"The stalemate has gone on for too long; it's time to put an end to it."
At this moment, Kira Ryosuke lifted his leg.
A shooting motion!
"What?!"
Mikage Reo, who was ready to cover behind Nagi Seishiro, looked astonished.
"This is over forty meters away?! He wants to shoot?! That's a pipe dream!"
Nagi Seishiro was also somewhat confused. From such a distance, Kira Ryosuke wanted to shoot?
Was it a feint?
No, at this distance, a fake shot couldn't fool anyone.
Kira Ryosuke genuinely intended to shoot!
Nagi Seishiro, with his genius's keen intuition, sensed danger and immediately lunged forward to interfere with Kira Ryosuke's shot.
But he had initially maintained his distance, expecting the opponent to accelerate and break through, and that split-second hesitation cost him his chance!
Kira Ryosuke had already shot!
Total Concentration Breathing!
Thunderclap and Flash!
And then—Gathering Mosquitoes into Thunder!
In that instant, Kira Ryosuke felt as if time had slowed down. He gathered all his strength into his right foot.
Then it erupted like a bomb!
Like a god's wrath, a thunderous explosion ripped through the field! The intense sound startled the other defenders of Team V.
Fueled by his anger, the ball flew like a cannonball.
Even with Nagi Seishiro's unparalleled reflexes, as he tried to extend his leg to block it at the first moment, he was utterly powerless. The ball zipped past him with exaggerated speed.
He could only feel a fierce gust of wind rushing by.
"I have to stop it!!"
Mikage Reo roared, jumping with all his might, also trying to interfere with the shot, but he couldn't reach it—this, however, made him feel a glimmer of hope.
"The shot went high!"
Mikage Reo judged that Kira Ryosuke was just forcing a shot to intimidate them, and that it was ultimately a futile attempt, given the incredibly high angle of this shot.
"No, it wasn't."
Kira Ryosuke simply stated calmly.
This shot was a fusion of three skills!
Thunderclap and Flash gave this shot exaggerated speed and power.
And Gathering Mosquitoes into Thunder made this shot unpredictable!
The moment Kira Ryosuke kicked the ball, he controlled its spin by adjusting the point of impact and his shooting motion!
This was a super high-speed curveball!
The ball shot towards the goal, its high-speed rotation altering its trajectory in the air--
It was aimed directly at the goal's dead angle!
The goalkeeper dove with all his might, but he had absolutely no way of tracking the shot's path!
Goal! It was in the net!
The ball still tore through the net like a wild beast, only slowly coming to a halt after its fury had completely dissipated.
The entire stadium fell into a deathly silence.
"What, what was that? What was that?"
Mikage Reo knelt on the ground, his earlier smile completely gone, his entire being drained as if his soul had been ripped out.
What in the world had just happened?
