Just half a game's effect allowed a few of them to transform their strength... Although they might have already realized it, maintaining such focus in every match would still be difficult.
Of course, this was just Ye Liangqiu's thought as he glanced at the people in the locker room, wondering what they were thinking.
Until the whistle blew again.
Everyone returned to the field.
The V Team's atmosphere turned unusually grim, exuding a killing intent that seemed to engulf the entire field.
Yoichi Isagi's expression was serious. "It seems they've also prepared for a desperate struggle."
Although they were leading by two goals,
in these three states of self-breakthrough, he clearly knew how strong the opponent was.
Until the very last moment, the outcome of this match was unimaginable.
In the same position, Ye Liangqiu once again met Nagi Seishiro's gaze, and this time he saw something different.
"Interesting... Have you finally been awakened?"
"The awakening of self-awareness."
"Can a genius... withstand his first failure?"
With a whistle, the V Team kicked off.
However, unexpectedly, this time the person holding the ball was Nagi Seishiro. His face was expressionless, like a robot, but his movements were sharp and clean.
Every step was just right.
Kuyon tried to stop him but was directly bypassed by an aerial somersault.
This was immediately followed by a rapid sprint.
"Fall back! Fall back!" Kuyon's pupils lost focus as he shouted, "Stop him!"
They knew they had to defend without him saying it.
Chigiri was about to step forward.
Nagi Seishiro glanced, his foot movements quick, and he directly passed the ball.
Reo, not far away, was already waiting and caught the ball.
Nagi Seishiro continued to run forward, his eyes devoid of emotion, but his mind was contemplating something.
"According to Reo... what I'm doing now should be called effort, right?"
"But why did I suddenly start trying?"
"Is it because I still lost?"
"Or is it because I don't want to see Reo lose..."
"Or is it because this is the first time... the first time I'm about to lose a game?"
"This is a feeling I've never experienced."
At this moment, Reo was once again locked down by Raichi. "Damn it, why are you sticking to me like a dog's plaster?"
"Can't you just get lost?"
"Hahaha, I'll just stick to you!" Raichi's shark-like mouth laughed.
The next second, Reo, who could no longer bear it, directly passed the ball.
Nagi Seishiro saw the flying ball and then looked at Ya Wan and Kuon Wataru, who were leaping high to intercept the ball. A flame suddenly erupted in his pupils.
"Perhaps it's this sense of curiosity that suddenly made me want to try..."
"Football... a boring game, has suddenly become interesting now."
"So... this is what it feels like to be about to lose."
"But... at this moment, I want to use football to test where my limits are!"
"And then go challenge the strongest boss here."
The next moment, he leaped high, catching the ball in a strange posture.
At the moment everyone thought he couldn't shoot,
with a "boom" sound,
a Volley Shot went into the net for a goal.
Nagi Seishiro exhaled... and looked at Reo.
Their eyes met.
Reo was completely stunned in place.
"Nagi... you..." He was utterly bewildered, unable to imagine that Nagi Seishiro had developed self-awareness regarding football.
Nagi Seishiro looked up and slowly said, "This is the first time I've found football quite interesting... At least in my life, everything has been boring."
"However... this is the first place that has filled me with strong curiosity."
"Reo, thank you for bringing me here."
"Now... I just want to satisfy my curiosity."
"How many more points do we need to kill the game?"
Reo opened his mouth, unsure what to say. There was some panic in his eyes, as if something had been taken from him, but he couldn't articulate it...
But it was just one goal...
However, it also made everyone once again see the terrifying aspect of Nagi Seishiro.
Yoichi Isagi wiped his sweat, his pupils also fixed on this newly awakened person... "It's not just me who has awakened on this field; the monster on the other side is also gradually evolving."
"Although the score is temporarily ahead,"
"in a true sense... the goal that could kill the game... has not yet appeared."
"Then let me do it..."
"End this game!"
Ye Liangqiu never intervened in this game of 'finding curiosity'; he knew that no one could stop these people.
And he didn't want to stop them...
At this moment, Ye Liangqiu was also very curious to see how far this genius, who had only been on the football field for half a year, could awaken under his pressure...
If it was just his original state,
that would be too boring...
At this moment, Reo and Nagi Seishiro walked past him.
Ye Liangqiu suddenly spoke, "How does it feel, genius? Is football interesting?"
Reo almost turned his head and cursed.
This guy had been shooting and cursing them as useless throughout the entire game.
And he still had the nerve to say "interesting"?
He almost snapped back.
At this moment, Nagi Seishiro looked back at Ye Liangqiu and said, "Not bad, at least it's interesting to me now."
"If I can defeat you, this boss... it might be even more interesting."
Ye Liangqiu chuckled softly. "Then I'll wait for you to defeat me, genius."
At this point, there were still twenty minutes left.
The tug-of-war had just begun.
As time passed, the two teams gradually understood and adapted to each other.
Most importantly, in terms of physical exertion, everyone had mixed opinions; almost all of them were gasping for breath.
Except for Ye Liangqiu, that physical monster.
Almost no one else could maintain long-distance fast running.
Chigiri even wondered if a monster in human skin had come to the field to play a joke on them.
Within the midfield, Ye Liangqiu was surrounded by several V Team players. He didn't have the ball...
Evidently, during the break, the opposing team had made a tactical distribution.
To limit him, their strongest attacking point,
they didn't hesitate to use players to directly block him.
Bachira held the ball, constantly maneuvering with Reo, his gaze fixed on Yoichi Isagi, who was making an off-ball run.
It was as if he heard Yoichi Isagi's inner voice.
"Pass the ball to me."
"Let me crush them!"
The next second, Reo revealed a triumphant smile and kicked the ball out. The direction was exactly where Kenshiro and Chigiri were confronting each other.
"You dare to be distracted while confronting me?"
"Kenshiro, catch it!"
Bachira froze for a second, wanting to extend his leg to hook the ball back, but his reaction was clearly half a beat too slow.
Kenshiro, not far away, smirked. His powerful explosive force quickly showed, directly shaking off Chigiri. He intended to gain possession of the ball with his speed.
However, Chigiri gritted his teeth and followed. He knew he couldn't keep up with that guy's explosive power, but in short-distance long-distance running, his own speed could surpass him.
Now, everyone's physical strength was greatly depleted.
He also knew Kenshiro must be about the same...
As long as he passed this ball, his mission would be complete!
