Blue Lock: My Kira Ryosuke Starts with Thunder Breathing

"How is that possible?!"

Mikage Reo's pupils widened, his voice trembling. He thought he had used the same move to get past Kira Ryosuke.

But he didn't know that no matter how perfectly he imitated, he was still just a fake. Even though his ability to imitate ahead of time was unexpected, Kira Ryosuke could still judge the move he intended to use from his opponent's actions.

Kira Ryosuke gave Mikage Reo the illusion that he had successfully dribbled past him, and then, the moment the opponent let his guard down, he used his exaggerated speed and physical prowess to steal the ball.

"No way..."

Niko Ikki, standing nearby, was also dumbfounded.

"Even with Mikage doing that much, he still couldn't get past Kira Ryosuke?!"

He knew very well that Mikage Reo had done an excellent job just now and had indeed created a lot of space for himself—but it was meaningless. He was still within Kira Ryosuke's defensive range. The latter exploded from behind, catching up and completing the steal. Mikage Reo couldn't even advance a few steps.

Has this guy... become even more terrifying than in the first selection?

And in just a moment of daze, Kira Ryosuke had already brought the ball to the red team's backcourt!

Goal!

Ten minutes later, the match ended.

The three members of the red team sat on the grass, exhausted. They couldn't achieve anything on offense, and on defense, they couldn't stop Kira Ryosuke. He could do whatever he pleased, quickly ending the game with a score of 5:0.

What was supposed to be their revenge match only made them feel the gap in strength more clearly, to a nearly despairing extent.

After the match ended, it was time to select one person from the losing side to join the winners.

The losers were like spoils of war for the victors.

"Why don't we pick Barou? He's tall and can be useful on offense," Kunigami Rensuke said after thinking for a while.

"I think Reo would be better, he's more well-rounded," Nagi Seishiro said calmly.

However, both of them simultaneously turned their gaze to Kira Ryosuke, leaving the final decision to him:

"Kira, what do you think?"

"I already have someone suitable in mind," Kira Ryosuke replied casually, then walked straight to one of the players on the red team.

"Then let's go together—Niko Ikki."

"What?"

Niko Ikki's eyes widened, filled with surprise. He hadn't expected Kira Ryosuke to choose him.

His offensive methods and physical abilities were far inferior to Barou Shoei's, and his all-around skills and practicality were not as good as Mikage Reo's. Niko Ikki believed he was definitely not the one who would be chosen.

"Let's go, we're heading to the next room."

Chapter 67: Tired? Run 3000 meters to rest.

"Hey Ryosuke, I wanted to ask, why did you choose me?" Niko Ikki asked Kira Ryosuke curiously as they walked down the corridor towards the next area. He was very curious why he was chosen.

"Because you were the most suitable choice," Kira Ryosuke replied with a smile.

"Barou's personality is too self-centered. His way of playing football is very damaging to team morale, so I ruled him out immediately. Reo has strong overall abilities, but his mentality is easily affected by his surroundings, making it difficult for him to maintain high concentration on the field. As for you, Niko, although your physical condition and offensive methods are lacking, you possess a strategic vision and excellent field control that the other two lack. Moreover, your personality is easier to get along with, making you a more suitable teammate than the other two."

What Kira Ryosuke said was true. Among the three players on the red team, only Niko Ikki was a more suitable teammate.

"I see."

Niko Ikki nodded, but then turned his head, his gaze focusing on Kira Ryosuke.

Although he really didn't want to admit it, Niko Ikki had played against Kira Ryosuke twice and was very aware of his strength.

Kira Ryosuke was a complete monster.

Niko Ikki wanted to use this opportunity to stay by Kira Ryosuke's side and learn how he became so strong.

Soon, their group arrived on a new floor—a place only reachable once a team of four was formed.

Like the building before, the facilities here were also very complete: a cafeteria, a bathhouse, and a training ground with a gym.

"Looks like we're the first ones here," Kira Ryosuke said, looking around. The space was empty at the moment, as they had finished the match cleanly with a 5:0 score and hadn't taken much time.

However, shortly after they arrived, another team walked in.

Kunigami Rensuke immediately cast an expectant glance, hoping that Isagi Yoichi's team had also advanced.

He saw Bachira Meguru at first glance and his face broke into a joyful smile.

But after a few more people entered, the smile on Kunigami Rensuke's face gradually froze.

Itoshi Rin, Ariko Juubei, and Tokimitsu Aoshi.

"What?"

Kunigami Rensuke's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Itoshi Rin and the others arriving. He immediately understood what had happened.

Isagi Yoichi's team had lost, and Bachira Meguru had been chosen by Itoshi Rin and his companions as a 'trophy.'

"Bachira, what happened?"

Kunigami Rensuke quickly walked over to Bachira Meguru's side and asked about his situation. He was very concerned about his former teammate being eliminated.

Kira Ryosuke wasn't surprised by the outcome. After all, Itoshi Rin was already the pinnacle of overall strength in Blue Lock. Furthermore, both Ariko Juubei and Tokimitsu Aoshi possessed physical talents that were difficult for ordinary people to match. The overall strength difference between the two teams was immense. In the original story, Isagi Yoichi's team had lost to Itoshi Rin twice.

However, Kira Ryosuke wasn't worried about them being eliminated. The stronger the opponent, the more they could evolve.

##

At this moment, Itoshi Rin ignored everyone around him and walked directly in front of Kira Ryosuke.

"Stop wasting time and let me kill you, ant."

The veins on Itoshi Rin's forehead were very prominent. Looking at Kira Ryosuke, he felt an intense sense of annoyance.

Moreover, in this selection round, Kira Ryosuke had once again finished ahead of him, completing the match faster than himself.

"I'd like to, but I suggest you look at the notice next to you."

Kira Ryosuke pointed to the wall, where it clearly stated that the interval between matches for each team must be less than twenty-four hours.

"This merely postpones your death. Be happy that you can still cling to life for another day."

After delivering his threat, Itoshi Rin left directly to rest in his assigned room.

Meanwhile, Niko Ikki stood nearby, nervously silent. He knew very well how terrifying Itoshi Rin's strength was. The intense pressure radiating from him made him feel suffocated, and the killing intent emanating from Itoshi Rin was not fake.

Only a monster like Kira Ryosuke could remain calm and composed in the presence of someone like Itoshi Rin.

Niko Ikki couldn't help but wonder who was stronger between Kira Ryosuke and Itoshi Rin.

"...So that's what happened..."

Bachira Meguru roughly explained the details of the recent match to Kunigami Rensuke, who couldn't help but swallow.

The combination of Isagi Yoichi, Bachira Meguru, and Chigiri Hyoma was definitely not weak, yet they were still crushed by a significant margin.

Just how strong was that Itoshi Rin?

"Although I'm a bit unwilling, there's nothing we can do."

Just then, Bachira Meguru turned his head and looked at Kira Ryosuke with anticipation.

"But I'm already a member of another team now. We should be opponents in the next match, right? I'll give it my all."

"Then do your best."

Kira Ryosuke replied with a smile.

"But in the end, we will be the ones to win."

Blue Lock, Monitoring Room.

Ego Jinpachi adjusted his glasses, his gaze focused on the five people in front of him.

These five individuals had different skin colors and came from different countries – but they were all top players in this world.

Ego Jinpachi had spent a fortune to invite them to Blue Lock precisely so they could spar with the Blue Lock members and make them understand the gap in skill.

The strength of these five top players was extraordinary; compared to the people in Blue Lock, it was like a dimensionality reduction attack.

"One hundred million each, and a bonus of one million for every goal scored, just as we agreed beforehand."

Ego Jinpachi said.

"To be honest, this is like a pie falling from the sky."

A Western man with a full beard said. Although his expression was nonchalant, he indeed had the capital to be so.

Adam Blake, a representative player from England, known as the 'Goal Addict,' possessed extremely powerful physical abilities. For him, dealing with these seventeen or eighteen-year-old youngsters was an easy task.

"Playing against a bunch of kids, but if there's money involved, I don't mind."

Next to him was a muscular Black man with dreadlocks, Dada Silva, known as the Heavy Tank.

"You can't say that."

A man who looked like a child said, but in reality, he was already a star player making a name for himself on the international stage, Pablo Kawazos.

"I envy your country for having so much money to waste on a project that has no chance of succeeding."

A seemingly frivolous man held his head and said indifferently. His name was Leonardo Luna, and he was also a world-renowned player.

"However, there's one thing I must make clear to you all beforehand."

At this moment, Ego Jinpachi pushed his glasses up and his expression became very serious.

"If you lose even one match, you won't get a single penny."

"Oh? Mr. Ego, do you think we have any possibility of losing?"

Standing among the five, a young Black man with a buzz cut. Though the youngest, his gaze was like a lion's, and his manner of speaking was very polite.

Julian Loki, a supernova who had just burst onto the scene in the French league. He was the same age as the others in Blue Lock, yet possessed terrifying skill.

It could be said that his potential was even higher than the other four.

"Originally, I thought it was impossible. Even if you played ten thousand games, you would win by a landslide. But now, after noticing certain things, my thoughts have changed. Even with the slimmest possibility, within Blue Lock, there are people you can't afford to underestimate."

Ego Jinpachi said slowly.

"There's no way such a person exists."

The other four said in unison. Only Loki's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Mr. Ego, may I ask who that person is?"

"You'll find out when the time comes."

Ego Jinpachi's face showed a knowing smile.

"You'll know who I'm talking about after just one exchange. If my estimation is correct, you'll be playing sooner than expected."

Meanwhile, Kira Ryosuke and the others arrived at their rooms according to the broadcast's instructions.

The rooms in the four-person area were much better than the other areas, more spacious, and had four separate beds. The food in the cafeteria was also more plentiful.

Their personal luggage had already been transported to the room.

"Kira, do you play games?"

Nagi Seishiro took out his phone and asked.

"No, I don't really play mobile games. I'm going to train later."

After saying that, Kira Ryosuke left the room and headed for the gym in that area.
