"Hey, white-haired kid."
"Although Mr. Schugglai said he wants to use you as the spearhead to test your skill level, if you play too poorly, no one will pass you the ball. After all, no one wants to be laughed at."
"You only get one chance, so cherish it."
The burly Black Team player wearing jersey number 1 mumbled in broken English, then passed the ball to Kira Ryosuke.
He then charged into the opponent's backfield.
He was also a newcomer discovered by Schugglai, showing extraordinary talent in his debut. This trip with the team was also in preparation for an exchange match in Spain. If he performed well, he might even have a chance to be selected for the U20 national reserve bench.
Being assigned to the weaker Black Team had already annoyed him. If he made a fool of himself in public and was beaten 10-0 by guys like Abel, it would undoubtedly lower Mr. Schugglai's impression of him.
Therefore, after reluctantly passing the ball to Kira Ryosuke, he loudly called for the ball in the Forward.
In his opinion,
the only one in the Black Team who truly had scoring ability was himself.
Everyone else was a burden.
Including the newly joined Kira Ryosuke.
"What are you going to do?"
As soon as he got the ball, Demon Child Abel stood in front of him with a sinister laugh, his arms spread wide. His wingspan was astonishing, like a large net, completely enveloping people within his hunting zone.
"Are you going to pass?"
"Or..."
Abel tempted him like a demon, "Try to break through me? Japan's number one... Forward?"
A normal person hearing these words
would likely have their competitive spirit ignited, but Kira Ryosuke remained exceptionally calm.
After activating his Eye of the Heavenly Emperor, every fleeting opportunity on the field would be captured by him.
It must be said,
the number 1 Black Team player indeed had some skill. His positioning was very threatening, directly cutting to the left half of the penalty area sideline. With Piri's arrogant personality, he naturally wouldn't be completely drawn away, but would remain stable in the midfield to defend.
To score, avoiding this impenetrable wall was clearly the wisest choice.
Kira Ryosuke saw this, a slight curve on his lips, and suddenly charged Forward with the ball. In that instant, his acceleration was incredibly fast, perfectly mimicking a full-power Aomine, like a nimble black panther bursting forth.
This explosive power made even Schugglai, who was accustomed to seeing a genius, light up.
However, on the field,
Demon Child Abel's eyes rotated like a doll's.
Then, with a "thud,"
he heavily stomped on the soft grass, his entire being like a hurricane, quickly keeping pace with Kira Ryosuke.
"Hmph. Trying to dribble past Abel one-on-one?"
Milmishes, in the midfield, stood with his hands on his hips, his face full of disdain, "Too arrogant, kid."
"Dribble past him?"
A red glow flashed in Kira Ryosuke's eyes, "No need. He will make way for me."
The moment he pushed the ball Forward, he hooked it with the tip of his left foot, making it change direction, and shifted his body to the right.
"Elastico?"
Piri, who had defended against various attacking Forwards, recognized the move at a glance, somewhat surprised.
It was hard to imagine that in a country like Japan, a high school student would use this skill so proficiently.
But soon,
a smile reappeared on his face, "It's just as I saw in the videos, there are indeed impressive moments."
"But, you don't actually think our ace Forward would be dribbled past like that, do you?"
The moment his words fell,
Abel, with an excited expression, supported himself with one hand on the ground, using a knee-thrusting posture to forcibly change direction, and once again blocked Kira Ryosuke's path.
"Don't even think about shaking me off."
"That's not right."
Kira Ryosuke's Eye of the Heavenly Emperor was locked onto him, and he said indifferently, "You've already been dribbled past, haven't you?"
"?"
To Abel's puzzled expression, the ball, which had changed direction in the air, was actually knocked back by Kira Ryosuke's right knee.
Combined with Aomine's unique acceleration,
he quickly swept past Abel's defensive area. Just as Milmishes rushed over to cover, he anticipated and strongly passed the ball out.
The target was directly in front of the number 1 Black Team player on the left wing.
"Nice."
"Beautiful pass."
Number 1 Carlozi, like a sprinter on the prairie, ran at full speed towards where the ball would land.
His heart was ecstatic.
That position, whether it was the shooting path or the distance, was his favorite hunting zone.
This white-haired youth seemed to be in sync with him, able to know his thoughts and deliver a beautiful pass that even he had to admire.
Was it luck?
Or skill?
At this moment, he couldn't afford to think so much.
Carlozi only knew that he was about to score.
He leaped into the air, perfectly cushioning the ball's bounce with his chest. As soon as the ball landed,
he would be able to shoot from 27 meters in the left half of the penalty area.
Letting Schugglai admire his brilliant performance.
Just at this critical moment,
a scene that shocked everyone appeared.
Piri, two meters tall and seemingly as heavy as an iron tower, suddenly burst out with terrifying speed, positioning himself in front of Carlozi and intercepting the ball.
Then he made a long pass.
The ball traced a beautiful arc, landing steadily at Abel's feet.
His golden hair looked exceptionally charming in the sunlight, and he revealed two fangs, "How mean of you, to play me like that right in front of Mr. Schugglai. If I don't get some payback, it would be too unreasonable."
As he spoke,
he moved with incredible speed.
He rushed directly towards Kira Ryosuke.
At high speed, he began to perform step-overs with his left and right feet, making it impossible to distinguish his attacking route.
Kira Ryosuke was surprised. This terrifying dribbling ability, the ball seemed to stick to his feet, moving so fast it left afterimages.
"Is it left, or right?"
If he didn't possess the Eye of the Heavenly Emperor, Kira Ryosuke probably would have thought that with his own talent limit, he might not be able to stop him at all.
But,
the current him possessed the eye of Akashi Seijuro, one of the Generation of Miracles.
Foreseeing the future, every movement would be seen through by him.
From minute details, he captured Demon Child Abel's dribbling path.
"Close marking..."
"Stopping the ball..."
"And then a turn to dribble past...?"
Abel's fluid movements were analyzed frame by frame in those red pupils. Kira Ryosuke understood, and the moment the opponent stopped the ball, he extended his foot and unexpectedly slid in.
"Eh?"
Abel detected something was off.
His thoughts seemed to have been seen through?
Seeing that the ball was about to be intercepted, Abel's face suddenly became blurry and ferocious, like a demon from the underworld, "You are truly interesting."
"No wonder Mr. Schugglai took a liking to you."
He suddenly trapped the stopped ball between his feet, spinning in mid-air and leaping over the sliding Kira Ryosuke. Then he stuck out his tongue and made a funny face, "This is too interesting. It's really great to have met you here."
As he spoke, he dribbled the ball past two more Black Team defenders.
From a distant 30 meters, his left foot swung out like a whip.
Bang!
After a loud explosion,
the ball hit the net.
Kira Ryosuke looked at the shining youth standing in the sunlight, his eyes filled with solemnity.
This was the Demon Child, Abel Yulsi.
An offensive kaleidoscope with dynamic talent sufficient to support his terrifying ball skills.
