Second Half
15:00
"Let's go! If we keep this up, we'll pass them in no time! No time at all!" Naruhaya grinned, excited that it was now his turn as CF.
Isagi raised his leg and kicked the ball, his target being Naruhaya. However, one of the opponent's jumped and blocked the ball's course.
"Like hell I'll let ya'!"
"Ah!" Naruhaya gasped.
"Shit! My bad, Naruhaya!" Isagi clicked his tongue.
"Pull back! We can't let them score another goal! Team Y, if we lose, we're done for!" #4 exclaimed.
"Don't falter now! Break through, Team Z!" Kuon yelled as he ran across the field.
"Attack! Attack!" Raichi shouted.
"Gimme the ball!" Igarashi furrowed his brows as he jumped over to the opponent who had the ball with him.
"I won't let you!" #2 yelled.
"Shit! Niko, we need you!" #5 called as he kicked the ball for the mentioned male.
Niko furrowed his brows and ran to catch the ball, but before he could make contact with it, Isagi jumped in front of him.
"I'll catch every pass headed your way!" Isagi glared.
"What an annoyance...!" Niko scowled.
"We'll open a path soon enough! One more try!" Naruhaya yelled.
"Hey, Isagi! It's almost time for you to use your weapon!" Igarashi shouted.
"Hold on! Okay, coming to you! We're definitely gonna score if we keep pressing with Naruhaya's formation!" Isagi passed the ball.
"Huh?! Are you really okay with that?!" Igarashi's brows shot up as he stared at the boy, both confused and shocked.
"Yeah!" Isagi firmly nodded.
'Rather than making me the new formation leader and disrupting our balance, I should focus on marking Niko since I'm the only one, minus Y/n, who knows how dangerous he is. That gives us our best shot at a goal!'
"You guys heard it too, right? Ego's speech about strikers carrying their own weapons." Niko said as he ran side to side with Isagi.
"A striker carries a weapon!"
"And so what if we did?" Isagi furrowed his brows.
"You see, I thought about it. I thought "What even is my weapon?" Doesn't it seem like each player in Blue Lock has some outstanding talent? Even so, we wouldn't win relying solely on Okawa's powerful yet simple shooting technique. But, I can't afford to lose. Even if I'm not as fast, even if I'm not as strong, the weapons I carry to stay in Blue Lock are..." Niko spoke as Isagi attentively listened.
"...my eye for knowing exactly where on the field I need to be and my mind for manipulating the players on that field. Even if you try to stop me, you can't stop my planning." Niko pointed to his head.
'What does that mean?!' Isagi stared at Niko with wide eyes.
Next Formation
"Yeah! My weapon is my unyielding heart to give it all on the field! A strong defense and a swift attack! O'Great Buddha!" Igarashi shouted.
"Keep the ball from them!" One of the opponent's shouted.
"Pass it 'round!"
"What the heck are they doing?! They're just protecting the ball! Do you really wanna settle for a draw?!" Igarashi shouted.
