Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: A Retaliatory Shot, and the Shock of the Crowd

"Damn it, don't think you can beat me like this."

Barou's face was gloomy as he turned and rushed towards Kira Ryosuke, moving like a whirlwind, drawing gasps of surprise from the crowd.

But what was even more surprising was this.

Even though Barou didn't lose his balance due to conceding a goal, he reacted incredibly quickly, rushing back to try and steal the ball.

However, his running speed was actually slower than Kira Ryosuke, who was dribbling the ball Forward.

"This guy..."

Barou roared helplessly, "You guys, stop him!"

In an instant, four players from Team X surged Forward to surround him.

They blocked his path Forward completely.

"Well done, genius!" Raichi roared, seeing the situation, and excitedly ran to one side, "Leave the rest to me! Pass the ball over!"

On the other side, Kunigami also followed closely, "No, you should pass it to me!"

Isagi Yoichi, witnessing all of this, felt the pieces of his mental puzzle coming together one by one. "Come on, genius. What will you do? There are ten opponents ahead, and your teammates are also your rivals. How will you act under this encirclement? Who will you pass to?"Kira Ryosuke glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I guess you'd think that too."

"Then watch closely, Isagi Yoichi."

"And you all, members of Blue Lock, I, Kira Ryosuke, am the tyrant who commands the world! No one can defy me. Anyone who dares to offend me, I will personally send you to hell!"

Kira Ryosuke's speed didn't decrease. Facing the first player who came at him, he lightly touched the ball with his toe, seemingly intending to pass it to Raichi on the left.

Raichi's face lit up with a triumphant smile. "Haha, genius, well done! Choosing me is the correct answer!"

That Forward-like player slid tackled towards Kira Ryosuke. "Don't even think about passing, Kira Ryosuke! I am Yasujiro, the genius player from Yokohama! Remember that!"

"Sorry."

Kira Ryosuke looked down at him condescendingly and said faintly, "I'm not good at remembering the weak."

"Just remember your own incompetence."

He suddenly stopped abruptly, gently flicked the ball up, and then leaped over him.

The entire movement was extremely fluid, executed in one go.Yasujiro nearly ground his teeth to dust. "Damn it, can such an obvious passing motion change just like that?"

"And... what the hell was that sudden stop?"

Kira Ryosuke's solo performance did not stop due to his shock.

Because two attacking midfielders, one on the left and one on the right, began to close in. They didn't tackle but just wanted to get close and entangle him, preventing Kira Ryosuke from breaking free and getting trapped in the encirclement to lose the ball.

Barou scoffed, "You've got some skills, you guys. Just keep him contained like that, I'm coming over now."

Watching Kira Ryosuke about to be caught in the pincer attack, Raichi's veins bulged. "Pass the ball!"

Kira Ryosuke's lips curled into a sneer.

Pass the ball?

NO!

What kind of people does Blue Lock cultivate?

Are you guys misunderstanding something?

I am the king who rules the green pitch, an ultra-egoist. No one can command me.

Anyone who dares to challenge me will be ended by me, even if they are my teammates.Kira Ryosuke's gaze coldly swept over the furious Raichi, his sharp eyes making him instantly feel a cold sweat on his back.

It was a gaze that looked upon him as if he were an ant.

Facing the two players rushing at him, Kira Ryosuke leaped high in front of everyone.

The ball disappeared in an instant.

"How is that possible..."

The two attacking midfielders' faces changed dramatically. Barou shouted from behind, "Idiot! The ball is at his feet!"

After being reminded, they finally realized that when Kira Ryosuke's feet were in the air, he had carried the ball with him, leaping high and passing between the two of them.

They seemed to have seen this move in the World Cup on TV channels.

The Bunny Hop!

Cuauhtémoc Blanco's signature skill.

They never expected to experience it firsthand here.

Kira Ryosuke expressionlessly bypassed the two, and had already reached midfield. There was one remaining midfield player who had come to reinforce the defense. "This is as far as you go, genius!"Taking advantage of the moment after the breakthrough when Ryosuke's ball control was unstable, the midfielder tried to stick out his foot to block the football.

He was indeed close to succeeding. The moment the ball landed, it rolled continuously towards his position.

"Damn it. This guy is too reckless."

Kunigami frowned, convinced that the ball would be lost.

"Tch." Raichi put his hands on his hips. "Even for a genius, isn't he a bit too overconfident?"

Ignoring everyone's surprised looks, he rushed towards Kira Ryosuke's rear. The moment the ball was stolen, he would be able to slide tackle and win it back.

Team Z had no teammates in the practical sense. Whoever had the ball was the Forward; everyone else was an enemy.

Before coming here, everyone had prepared themselves mentally enough.

It seemed like Kira Ryosuke was one-on-one, but in reality, it could be one-on-twenty.

Seeing the ball about to be taken, Kira Ryosuke not only didn't panic but a sneer appeared on his face, and he crouched like a leopard.

Aomine Daiki's wild imitation, one of the Five of the Generation of Miracles.The moment he landed, he was like a black panther in the jungle, quickly brushing the edge of the football with his ankle, generating an inward backspin.

However, both the person and the ball passed the opponent, one to the left and one to the right.

"It's a nutmeg!"

Even Bachira Meguru, who was skilled at dribbling, was greatly shocked when he saw Kira Ryosuke calmly execute these football techniques one by one, and a look of obsessive madness appeared on his face. "What a monster!"

The goalkeeper (GK) saw that something was wrong.

He loudly instructed the remaining defenders, "Stick to him! Don't let him get near the penalty area! This guy won't pass!"

Yes.

He had figured it out, Team Z was not united.

No one would use this genius for strategy; this was their opportunity.

Kira Ryosuke's lips curved into an arc. "Five people?"

"A bit too few."

He first used the imitation of Aomine's movement to maximize his speed, then performed a high-speed step-over dribble to bypass his opponents. The moment several tall defenders caught up, he exploited the blind spot in the goalkeeper anddefenders' line of sight.

He suddenly lifted his right foot and took a powerful shot.

The football instantly became like a cannonball, passing through the legs of the middle defender and flying low into the net.

The entire sequence of movements seemed to have been practiced thousands of times, without the slightest error.

Even the goalkeeper stood stiffly, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, listening to the lingering bounce of the football.

Goal — — — — — —

The ball went in!

The excited cheers of the female manager, Anri, came from the loudspeaker.

Everyone's pupils dilated in shock as they looked at that slender figure, who, like a demon, was surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He trampled everyone's confidence underfoot.

"Is this... Japan's treasure, Kira Ryosuke?" Isagi Yoichi felt as if the door to another world had opened, and a new chapter began in his mind.

Chigiri Hyoma, the winger, watched this scene, his fingertips digging into his flesh.

That speed was in no way inferior to the cheetah he once ran with abandon.Raichi kicked a pile of grass fiercely, panting and spitting, "Is this guy a pervert? He must be a monster. Rather than saying he doesn't need teammates, it's more like he's stronger without them..."
