40 Chapter 40: Absolute Dominance!

After several tens of minutes, the final whistle of the match finally blew.

The score for both teams was locked at 9-0, even more exaggerated than Team Y's previous 8-0 defeat.

After Kira scored the goal, the match lost all suspense and turned into garbage time.

Team Y not only had their morale crushed, but they also lacked the energy to organize high-quality defense. Their fighting spirit was completely shattered.

In the second half, Team Z had their way with the game. Kira unleashed his full firepower and scored an additional 5 goals. In the first half, he locked down Team Y with his defense, and in the second half, he overwhelmed them with suffocating attacks.

After the match, the players of Team Y were lying on the ground, crying in pain. Losing two consecutive matches essentially meant their elimination.

But in the Blue lock, the law of the jungle prevailed, where the weak are prey to the strong.

Okawa and Niko, on the other hand, were in a state of confusion. Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, they couldn't even feel sadness.

For them, the entire match was a nightmare.

On the other side, Kira Ryosuke returned to the locker room amidst the cheers of his teammates.

"You were amazing, Kira! That one-on-three move was brutal!"

"I think the key was your interceptions and clearances earlier!"

"Did you see the change in Okawa's expression? He thought he had a sure goal, but Kira cleared it!"

Everyone was cheering and celebrating, and Kira joined in with a smile.

At the same time, the voice of the system sounded as expected.

[Congratulations! You have earned 130 points.]

[Host: Kira Ryosuke]

[Competitiveness Points: 130]

[Current Skills:]

[Thunder Breath - Full Concentration Breathing LV2 Proficiency: 94.07%]

[Thunder Breath - Thunderclap Flash LV2 Proficiency: 82.51%]

[Thunder Breath - Rice Spirit LV1 Proficiency: 100% (Upgrade: 50 Points)]

'I received more points compared to last time. It's probably because Team Y has a stronger overall strength than Team X, and my performance in the second match was better than in the first.'

Kira contemplated in his mind.

Although Team Y conceded 17 goals in two matches, they were not actually weak. It was just that they had encountered exceptionally strong opponents.

In both matches, Kira had outstanding performances. However, in the second match, he showcased a terrifying defensive ability that he couldn't achieve in the first match.

Another factor was that the overall strength of the team was gradually improving.

Chigiri Hyoma overcame his inner demons, Raichi Jingo controlled his temper, and the others also made significant progress through their daily training with Kira.

Considering these factors, Kira was able to earn more points.

Furthermore, if this development continued, he would earn even more points in every upcoming match.

At the same time, the voice of the system continued without stopping.

[Acquired achievement: Defender:

First appearance as a defender in an official match and achieved victory. Earned 40 points.]

[Acquired achievement: King of Interceptions:

Made at least 5 successful interceptions in an official match for the first time, slightly reducing the physical toll caused by the use of skills.]

[Acquired achievement: Absolute Defens:

Successfully cleared a high-threat shot in an official match for the first time while in our own half. Slightly increased the rate of skill proficiency growth in such situations.]

After completing the match, Kira unlocked three achievements and received substantial rewards.

These three rewards were very direct and provided Kira with significant improvements.

Now he had earned 130 points, and his proficiency in Rice Spirit had maxed out. He would soon level up to LV2, which would unlock a wider range of techniques and enhance his ball control abilities. The proficiency of the other two skills was also approaching 100%, and he would soon be able to level up to LV3.

There was still some time before the next match, giving Kira ample time to upgrade these skills.

However, what caught Kira's attention was the content of the unlocked achievements they were almost all related to the position of a defender.

It was precisely because Kira played as a defender in this match that he was able to unlock these achievements.

Although the Blue lock program aimed to cultivate the world's best forward, Kira was not influenced by it.

Regardless of the position, his goal was always to strive and win.

"If playing as a defender can unlock a series of achievements, perhaps it's the same for other positions," Kira pondered.

"Goalkeeper, midfielder... Maybe different positions can unlock different achievements and obtain new rewards."

The rewards provided by the system gave Kira some new ideas. Perhaps in the future, he could try out different positions on the field.

Just like the skills he had unlocked, Kira could further develop them to make them have a more significant impact on the field.

.....

V Team Locker Room.

They had just easily defeated W Team.

The rest of the V Team was covered in sweat, but Nagi sat on a chair, not a drop of sweat on him, engrossed in his phone playing games.

For him, this match held no significance. He only needed to score a few goals to widen the lead and then he could slack off on the field.

Winning was simply an inevitable outcome. Unlike the other teammates who were jubilant, Nagi felt nothing in his heart.

"Rookies, the match between Z Team and Y Team has also concluded," a large screen lit up, projecting the face of Ego.

"Mikage, is Y Team the one we defeated 8-0?" Nagi lazily asked Mikage beside him.

"That's right, but your memory is terrible. Well, they didn't have anything worth remembering anyway," Mikage shrugged, considering Y Team as a weak opponent.

But whether it was Y Team or any other players, it made no difference to them.

Mikage believed that the other four teams were incapable of defeating them.

Not only because they had their well-rounded abilities or the explosive power of Tsurugi Zantetsu.

The key factor was that their team had the genius Nagi.

Mikage turned his head and looked at Nagi, who had once again immersed himself in his mobile game, a smile appearing on his face.
