Blue Lock, I, Kira Ryosuke, Obtain Thunder Breathing at the Start

A forty-meter shot?!

Terrifying speed, a bizarre curve?

Is this something a human can actually do?

What kind of monster is Kira Ryosuke!

At this moment, Mikage Reo deeply regretted the big talk he had made before the match.

Kira Ryosuke is a monster among monsters.

"Reo, hurry up and serve to counterattack! There's still time, we still have a chance, if we score three more goals, we can still win!"

Beside Mikage Reo, Nagi Seishiro said urgently, his competitive spirit fully ignited, wanting to continue the match.

But Kira Ryosuke's shot had almost completely destroyed the fighting spirit of everyone on their team.

Not only Mikage Reo, but the other teammates had also completely lost the will to resist.

"There's no way we can win against a monster like that…"

"Saying that our Team V would win easily was just empty boasting."

"Let's just stop here, it doesn't matter, we've already qualified anyway, there's no need to try so hard!"

"Damn it, damn it."

Tsurugi Zantetsu, standing nearby, was unwilling, but he no longer had the stamina to continue the match. The intense exertion had caused his right leg to cramp, and he could barely stand.

On the other side, Kira Ryosuke was already surrounded by his teammates, cheering!

This shot had successfully secured their victory!

"That was a forty-meter shot!"

"Amazing! How did you do it!!! Tell me quickly!"

"I'm truly ashamed of myself when it comes to this shooting technique…"

In the monitoring room, Ego Jinpachi watched the match and nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems there's only one true monster. The outcome of this match has already been decided."

"What a terrifying guy… Just how strong is Kira Ryosuke? He defended against Nagi Seishiro's shot at such incredible speed, and then took a shot from extremely far away. This guy is too frightening…"

Teieri Anri couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, he even makes me feel scared."

Ego Jinpachi pushed up his glasses.

"I'm afraid he's going to tear the entire Blue Lock apart."

Soon, the final whistle blew.

5:2, this was the final score of the match.

Before this, although Team Z had the advantage, Team V had kept the score very close, and the situation could have reversed in an instant.

But Kira Ryosuke's offense and defense in the second half completely killed the game. After widening the gap to two goals again, with little time left in the second half, it became extremely difficult for Team V to equalize.

And it wasn't just because of that. Mikage Reo's mentality had collapsed, and he had completely lost his fighting spirit. Tsurugi Zantetsu, exhausted from the high-intensity running, suffered a right leg cramp and had to leave the field early. The other teammates had basically not been integrated into the game from start to finish, serving only as support for the big three. After falling behind, they lost their fighting spirit because they believed they would qualify steadily, and the outcome of the last match had no impact, so there was no need to try too hard.

In the end, only Nagi Seishiro remained to fight alone for Team V, but no matter how high his talent, he couldn't contend against the entire Team Z.

The match ultimately became suspense-free.

"No, no, no, no, no, no."

Mikage Reo knelt on the ground as if his soul had left him, on the verge of tears. He had spoken the harshest words before the match, and in the end, he had been dealt the harshest blow.

Tsurugi Zantetsu sat powerlessly beside him, the pain from the cramp just beginning to subside. He felt very helpless but could do nothing.

Nagi Seishiro stood, letting sweat stream down his face, his heart pounding from the strenuous exercise, his breathing rapid.

In Nagi Seishiro's heart, for the first time, he felt a sense of unwillingness.

This was his first experience of defeat, and it naturally felt unpleasant.

But after the unwillingness, Nagi Seishiro found himself more interested in the sport of soccer.

He also became interested in what Kira Ryosuke had just said.

On the other side, Team Z successfully advanced to the next round with an undefeated record. Upon returning to their dormitory, everyone began to celebrate wildly.

"We're first in the group!"

"Undefeated, haven't lost a single game!"

"Kira, my superman!"

Joyful smiles adorned everyone's faces. At that moment, a series of system notifications sounded in Kira Ryosuke's ear, and he immediately opened the system interface.

[Congratulations! You have obtained Combat Points: 210]

[Host: Kira Ryosuke]

[Current Combat Points: 210]

[Combat.Thunder Breathing.Total Concentration LV3 Proficiency 31.17%]

[Combat.Thunder Breathing First Form.Thunderclap and Flash LV3 Proficiency 23.7%]

[Combat.Thunder Breathing Second Form.Rice Spirit LV2 Proficiency: 100% Upgrade: 100 Combat Points]

[Combat.Thunder Breathing Third Form.Gathering Mosquitoes into Thunder LV1 Proficiency 100% Upgrade: 50 Combat Points]

Although the speed of increasing proficiency slows down as skill levels rise, Kira Ryosuke's efficiency in improving skill proficiency has greatly increased thanks to the doubled time available to enter the Combat Space daily and the proficiency bonus gained from using skills in matches.

Furthermore, perhaps because the opponents in this match were stronger than any previous team, and also because the strength of Team Z's teammates was gradually improving, Kira Ryosuke earned significantly more Combat Points in this match than in previous ones.

After a while, after playing around with his teammates, Kira Ryosuke immediately took out his phone and made a video call.

The match was over, so of course, he had to report his 'work situation' to his girlfriend first.

Just a few seconds later, Aida Reiko's delicate face appeared on the screen.

"How did it go, Ryosuke!"

Finally getting Kira Ryosuke's call, Aida Reiko's face bloomed into a very bright smile.

Even though she asked, Aida Reiko could already guess the outcome of the match since Kira Ryosuke contacted her immediately after the game.

Moreover, she could hear the loud commotion around Kira Ryosuke.

"Mhm, we got it."

Kira Ryosuke replied with a smile.

"Wait, Kira, are you talking to my sister-in-law?"

"Shh, don't disturb Kira!"

"Quiet, quiet!"

The previously noisy crowd immediately fell silent and turned to look at Kira Ryosuke.

"Um... hello everyone!"

Although Aida Reiko was a little embarrassed, she still greeted everyone present.

Unlike before, Aida Reiko now accepted the title of sister-in-law very naturally.

After all, she was now Kira Ryosuke's legitimate girlfriend.

"Everyone, say hello to your sister-in-law."

Kira Ryosuke smiled and turned the screen. The other ten members of the team squeezed into the small screen and waved at Aida Reiko together.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Thanks for the snacks, sister-in-law! They were really delicious!"

"Sister-in-law and Kira are truly a perfect match!"

Listening to their words, Aida Reiko smiled a little shyly.

"Let's all hang out together when we have the chance! I'll treat you to a meal! Let's keep up the good work!"

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law!"

Everyone replied in unison.

"Oh, right."

Aida Reiko seemed to remember something and continued, "Ryosuke, have you finished the little bear bento I made for you last time?"

"Mhm, I finished it."

Kira Ryosuke nodded, but his brow twitched slightly.

After all, it was a bento made with love by Aida Reiko, who woke up at four in the morning for Kira Ryosuke, so he naturally had to finish it.

"How did it taste!"

"Um... it was delicious!"

Kira Ryosuke swallowed and nodded.

Beside him, the other teammates fell silent at that moment.

Because on that day, they saw the almost omnipotent Kira Ryosuke show a pained expression for the first time.

They also saw that the bento, which was supposed to be a bear pattern, looked like a ferocious demon returning from hell.

However, they were also smart enough to remain silent.

"That's good, that's good!"

Aida Reiko laughed happily.

She then continued chatting with Kira Ryosuke, while the others consciously left the dormitory and headed to the training field.

"The first round of matches is over, are we training again today? I'm feeling a bit drained."

"I don't know, anywhere is fine, I just can't stay in the dorms right now. I'm afraid if I smell something foul, I might do something drastic."

"What should we do next? If all else fails, we can just sit here and count things together. By the way, do none of you have girlfriends?"

"Shut up."

Chapter 63: Hellish Physical Training? I'm Already Used to It!

"Damn it... damn it..."

Meanwhile, in the Team V dorms, Mikage Reo hadn't recovered from the defeat, complaining incessantly.

Beside him, the other members of the team looked at Mikage Reo with confusion.

Even though they had lost the match, they had still successfully qualified. Whether they finished first or second didn't really matter.

But for Mikage Reo, his first career defeat was an unacceptable stain.

"My, me and Nagi's undefeated record has been broken! Damn it! Damn it, Kira Ryosuke!"

Mikage Reo shouted hysterically, while Nagi Seishiro beside him was remarkably calm.

He kept replaying Kira Ryosuke's movements and words in his mind.

In the lobby of Building 5, the members of the other three teams were crying their eyes out, about to leave Blue Lock.

Team Z qualified first in their group with a perfect record. Team V qualified in second place, while the remaining three teams were completely eliminated.

In a corner of the lobby, Niko Ikki stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall, watching his teammates leave Blue Lock with a somber expression.

Niko Ikki remained in Blue Lock as Team Y's top scorer. Ever since his match against Kira Ryosuke, he had deeply realized his own shortcomings. In order to stay in Blue Lock, he went all out in the subsequent matches, ultimately earning his spot.

Although his teammates' departure brought a hint of guilt, and even a bit of relief, he felt more than anything a sense of unwillingness—and a desire for revenge.
