Nagi looked stunned at Reo emanating an all too familiar aura.

Agi: Reo... I don't believe it.

Chigiri: (What the fuck did he do? I could have sworn I just saw-)

Shidou smirked.

Shidou: So what's the nickname for this new you? Copycat of a Copycat? Little Kiyo? Kiyo Jr.?

Reo: Choose whatever one you want. I don't give a damn.

Bachira: (That looked like a Lorenzo movement but even his normal copy can't do that. Evolution... how egotistical!)

Prince walked over to Reo as Boss went to throw in the ball for Barcelona.

Prince: Good job, Reo-

Reo: Cut the act, Number 2. I don't need to hear your fake words. My brain... is working overtime.

*WHISTLE*

Boss threw the ball back into the field of play, startling Lavinho, Shidou, Otoya, and Bachira.

Lavinho: Hey, you idiot. We weren't in position.

Shidou: Aw shucks, Boss is getting too eager for a general NPC.

*THROW*

Reo: (I studied him during the U-20 game but I couldn't use the info I had on him since our vision was so far apart. Even though he's still a stage ahead of me, the important thing is that I reached the minimum specs required for this new model. The way things stand right now, I've copied the Kiyotaka that destroyed the U-20!)

*DASH*

Shidou sensed Reo charging in towards ball entering the field.

Shidou: Going for the kill already? Sucks for you. My spatial awareness still outranks yours.

*COLLIDE*

Both Reo and Shidou ran into each other. However, this time, Reo didn't care to meet the demon's gaze. He focused on the ball and the surrounding players that could potentially reach the duel.

Reo: Easy...

The ball dropped down as Reo dove and controlled the ball perfectly.

Shidou: (Lazy genius' trap... followed by-)

The chameleon pulled back and to the surprise of all the players around, replicated the move Kiyotaka used against Aiku. He used Shidou's immediate momentum from their collision to his own detriment and broke his ankles to kickstart their counterattack.

Bachira, Otoya, and Lavinho rushed in against Reo.

Chigiri rushed forward... Nagi escaped the penalty box and held his hand up, signaling to Reo for the ball.

Prince: Hey, Reo! Over here-

Just as the rest of Barcelona's vital personnel arrived to steal the ball away, Reo completed a no-look pass to his right. The intended target... was Agi.

Agi: Me?

Reo pointed at him.

Reo: You're playing for me now. I have a lot of attack patterns I want to try out.

Agi: (Eh?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

The chameleon jumped over their extended feet and rushed forward.

Prince: Agi, don't listen to him. Pass here!

Reo merely stared at him.

*PASS*
