21 Chapter 21: If You Are the King, I Am the God

Kira Ryosuke squinted his eyes slightly, resembling a fierce beast as he selected his prey.

Soon, the Z Team launched another attack, and the coordination and movement of the entire team improved compared to before. Just as the X Team saw Baro Shoei as their absolute core, they also focused their offense on Kira Ryosuke.

After some time of ball circulation, the ball finally came back to Kira Ryosuke's feet.

With astonishing speed, Kira Ryosuke effortlessly tore through the opponent's defensive line, almost without any obstruction, and charged straight towards the goal.

At that moment, a familiar figure directly blocked Kira Ryosuke's path.

Baro Shoei!

Baro Shoei possessed speed and physical abilities far superior to his teammates, and he also had an exceptional sense, anticipating Kira Ryosuke's possible attacking route.

And all of this was within Kira Ryosuke's expectations.

What he needed was a one-on-one situation with Baro Shoei

And then, in front of everyone, completely crush him.

.....

"Are Baro and Kira going to have a face-off?"

In the control room, Ego Jinpachi pushed his glasses and stared intently at the screen.

Although Kira Ryosuke had the advantage in speed, there was a significant difference in their physique, which was crucial in a one-on-one situation.

Kira Ryosuke had previously used his physical abilities to overpower Raichi Jingo and Kunigami Rensuke in one-on-one situations, but Baro Shoei's physical strength could be said to surpass both of them. Additionally, in terms of technique, Baro Shoei was definitely far ahead of these two.

Even for Kira Ryosuke, it wouldn't be an easy task to get past Baro Shoei.

However, both of them were the star players of their respective teams, and the outcome of their showdown would greatly influence the team's morale.

The person who is at a disadvantage in the confrontation will undoubtedly be affected by their team.

"It can be said that the direct confrontation between the two of them will likely determine the course of the match."

...

At this moment, in front of Kira Ryosuke, Baro Shoei lowered his center of gravity and stared intently at him.

"Hey, you're Kira Ryosuke, right?"

"I've said it before, I am the king on the field. You're not allowed to stand in front of me!"

"Can you get past me?"

Baro Shoei exuded a strong sense of pressure, as if invisible flames of hell were burning fiercely around him, ready to incinerate Kira Ryosuke to ashes.

For some reason, he felt an inexplicable displeasure when looking at Kira Ryosuke.

However, Kira Ryosuke, standing in front of Baro Shoei, showed no change in expression on his face.

"At first, I didn't think much of it, but upon careful consideration, it's quite shameful to say such words in this situation."

Kira Ryosuke narrowed his eyes slightly and focused his gaze on Baro Shoei.

"But at this moment, I'll play along with you a little."

"What are you blabbering about on your own?"

Baro Shoei's eyebrows twitched a few times.

"You say you're the king on the field? Well, then I am the god of the field, your kingship is not worth mentioning."

"You bastard, I'll kill you!"

"It's just futile rage. Today, I will make everyone present clearly see how the king crumbles."

After speaking, Kira Ryosuke adjusted his breathing and entered a state of complete Full Concentration Breathing.

Even though the state of Full Concentration Breathing had reached level 2, the duration was still just a little over ten seconds.

But in these short ten seconds, in the intense and tense atmosphere of the football field, it could have a tremendous impact.

The breathing technique could enhance the user's explosive power in a short amount of time, and that was Kira Ryosuke's capital in his one-on-one against Baro Shoei.

Baro Shoei keenly sensed that there was a change in Kira Ryosuke's aura, but he didn't know exactly what had happened.

He also didn't realize that his forehead was already covered in sweat.

Without any fancy dribbling moves, Kira Ryosuke dashed directly towards the left side of Baro Shoei's body.

Baro Shoei widened his eyes, even though he was fully focused, he reacted momentarily, but by the time he moved, Kira Ryosuke had already brushed past his body.

"I'll kill you!"

Baro Shoei shouted in anger, immediately turned around, intending to use his physical advantage to make reasonable body contact and disrupt Kira Ryosuke's movements.

But in the moment of body contact, he felt as if he had collided with a mountain, and even his own body lost balance in an instant.

Baro Shoei was extremely surprised because Kira Ryosuke's physique didn't seem so imposing, and he was even half a head shorter than himself. However, at this moment, he was at a disadvantage in terms of body contact.

What is this guy's background?

Unlike when Raichi directly fell to the ground after making contact with Kira, Baro Shoei forcefully readjusted his center of gravity and took steps to try and disrupt Kira Ryosuke's dribble from behind.

However, in the less than half a second it took for him to readjust his body, Kira Ryosuke had already created enough distance.

The distance wasn't far, but there was enough space for a shot.

Kira Ryosuke raised his leg once again, this time, his left leg.

Power quickly gathered in his left leg and then erupted in an instant!

A thunderous sound echoed through the field once again.

Boom!

In the next moment, the ball had already surged into the net, tearing at the net as if it would escape in the next second.

The goalkeeper of Team X stood in place, unable to make any moves.

He hadn't reacted in time at all.

2-1!

"Amazing, Kira!"

"Great, we've regained the advantage!"

"What king? Nothing more than that!"

The members of Team Z cheered again

This time, the direct clash between the ace players of the two teams ended with Kira Ryosuke's victory, greatly boosting Team Z's morale.

At this moment, Kira Ryosuke merely turned his head and looked at Baro Shoei behind him, smiling.

"The so-called king seems to be just this."

"You bastard, I'll definitely kill you!"

Baro Shoei's eyes were bloodshot, and his body seemed to tremble with intense emotions. It was clear that he was completely consumed by anger.

"Pass me the ball! Do you hear me?"

Baro Shoei yelled frantically at his teammates.

Meanwhile, Kira Ryosuke's lips curled up slightly, everything going just as he had expected.

Baro Shoei had completely fallen into his trap.
