The referee's whistle cut through the air-sharp and final.

The match was back on.

Yoshiro slowly cracked one eye open, gaze slipping toward the field.

Silent. Focused.

Hiori had the ball.

He moved with a quiet grace, linking up instantly with Karasu.

Their passes-sharp, fast, and precise-began to slice through the U-20's defensive wall like it was paper.

Yoshiro's golden eyes narrowed.

They were creating cracks.

Suddenly, Hiori pulled back-body turning just slightly-

A curving, powerful pass.

The ball whipped forward with spin and venom-cutting across defenders like a blade-

Right to Nagi.



..............................





Before Kazuma could intercept, Nagi spun with effortless fluidity-

and with a sharp backheel, launched the ball forward.

I know you can feel it.

"Take it, Yoichi Isagi."

Like a trigger pulled, Isagi exploded forward-eyes locked on the ball, body coiled like a spring. Every step thundered with urgency as he prepared to strike.

But just as his foot drew back-

A leg swept in, knocking the ball out of reach.

A shadow loomed over him.
A voice-cool, venom-laced-cut through the air:

"I'm back... to chain your collar where it belongs."

Isagi's eyes flared with fury.

"Aiku!!"

His voice trembled with disbelief and anger.

The hell are you doing here?! How much space can one guy cover?!

Aiku stood tall-like an immovable wall. His eyes gleamed with predator instinct, his body language calm yet dominant.

A wall between Isagi and victory.

"You really thought I'd sit and watch you play your little game?"

His presence cast a shadow so thick, it was suffocating.

Isagi clenched his teeth.

As long as I'm inside this man's zone...

I can't do a damn thing.

The ball flew sharply across the pitch-landing at Sae Itoshi's feet like a guided missile.

A pulse of tension surged through the Blue Lock team.

Aryu and Reo immediately sprinted toward him-

They knew exactly what was coming.

Reo's calculating eyes locked onto Sae with razor focus.

I can't let him out of my sight.

From the corner of his eye, he spotted movement-
Shido. Closing in. Fast.

And then it happened.

Sae didn't hesitate-
With perfect timing, he sent a blazing pass straight toward Shido.
