Blue Prison, I, Kirara Ryosuke, get the Breathing of Thunder at the beginning Chapter 003

Under the state of Total Concentration Breathing, a person’s physical abilities will explode.

[Competitive. Thunder Breathing. Total Concentration LV 1 Proficiency 0%]

The surroundings seemed to quiet down. Ryosuke Kira could only hear his own breathing and heartbeat in his ears. At this moment, the only thought left in his mind was to shoot.

Take a step, shoot!

Boom!

The moment Ryosuke Kira’s foot touched the soccer ball, a huge sound erupted, like a sudden burst of thunder.

Immediately, the ball flew out at an exaggerated speed, also without any arc, drawing a fleeting straight line. This time, the Thunderclap and Flash, combined with the use of Thunder Breathing, was even faster than before.

And it was even more powerful! Like a ravenous beast, it charged directly towards its prey, the sound of friction with the air being the roar of this beast.

However, to Ryosuke Kira’s surprise, the ball did not directly enter the goal. Instead, it struck the goalpost head-on. After a loud bang, it bounced dozens of meters into the air.

[Competitive. Thunder Breathing First Form. Thunderclap and Flash LV 1 Proficiency 0.11%]

[Competitive. Thunder Breathing. Total Concentration LV 1 Proficiency 0.02%]

“Both Total Concentration Breathing and the First Form’s proficiency have increased, but this time, the proficiency gained from Thunderclap and Flash is much higher than before.”

“Is it because the skill proficiency increase is higher when under the influence of the breathing technique?”

“The power of Total Concentration Breathing has become quite exaggerated, but the accuracy is so far off. It seems I haven’t adapted to this power and technique yet.”

Ryosuke Kira muttered to himself. He had inherited his original body’s rather excellent soccer skills. Twenty-five meters was not a short distance, but for him, it was within shooting range. He shouldn’t have missed.

But he did miss.

“It seems my proficiency with this ability isn’t enough. Because Total Concentration Breathing has given me explosive power I never had before, my body hasn’t adapted to it yet. Accuracy still needs to be further improved…”

Ryosuke Kira analyzed.

Just then, an unfamiliar voice rang out behind him. It was a clear and powerful voice.

“Excuse me, are you… Kira-senpai?”

Ryosuke Kira looked in the direction of the voice. It was a girl with a delicate face and clear amber eyes, giving off a feeling of youthful vitality. Her age should not be much different from Ryosuke Kira’s. She had fair skin and shoulder-length brown hair, with two black hair clips holding back her bangs. She was wearing simple sportswear, appearing to be someone who also came for morning exercise.

“Hm, hello.”

Ryosuke Kira politely responded. He was somewhat well-known locally, and being recognized by passersby was a common occurrence. To avoid attracting too much attention and causing unnecessary trouble, he chose to train before the sun had fully risen.

This was the first time he had seen this girl, but Ryosuke Kira had a somewhat familiar feeling.

However, the girl did not immediately respond to Ryosuke Kira’s greeting. Her gaze scanned up and down his body, like a mechanical scanning device.

“Hello… Excuse me… What are you doing?”

Ryosuke Kira asked somewhat awkwardly.

“Oh, sorry, sorry!”

The girl finally realized she might have been rude and quickly clapped her hands in apology.

“I have a habit of observing athletes’ bodies, I’m very sorry!”

“A habit of observing athletes’ bodies?”

Ryosuke Kira’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Such words coming from a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sounded a bit strange.

“Oh no! That’s not what I meant!”

The girl’s fair face flushed slightly from embarrassment. She quickly waved her hand and continued to explain,

“My father used to be an athlete trainer. He would record athletes’ physical data and create training schedules based on it. I grew up following my father around, so I unconsciously developed this habit…”

After hearing this, the familiar feeling in Ryosuke Kira’s heart became even more apparent.

“Excuse me, what should I call you?”

“I forgot to introduce myself, I’m very sorry! My name is Riko Aida! I’m a first-year student at the newly built Seirin High School nearby! Nice to meet you!”

The girl, who called herself Riko Aida, immediately bowed.

And Ryosuke Kira was able to confirm his inner guess. Riko Aida was indeed someone he ‘knew’.

She was considered the female protagonist of the work Kuroko’s Basketball, the coach and manager of the protagonist’s team, and possessed a very special ability: she could know the extent of someone’s physical abilities simply by observing them, and use this to create targeted training lists.

In the original work, it was precisely because of Riko Aida’s presence that the Seirin basketball team was able to gradually make a name for themselves from an unknown team.

However, for Riko Aida, who had just entered high school, this was a story for later.

‘So, are two worlds merged together… But basketball shouldn’t have anything to do with me in the short term.’

Ryosuke Kira was somewhat surprised in his heart.

“Excuse me, Kira-senpai, was that sound just now made by you?”

Just then, Riko Aida asked somewhat doubtfully. She had been drawn over by the almost thunderous sound while out for her morning run, and never expected to see the locally famous soccer player Ryosuke Kira here.

“Sorry, I was practicing shooting just now. I was too focused and didn’t notice the sound.”

Ryosuke Kira reached out and scratched the back of his head, subtly glancing around. There was no one else nearby.

“Is that so? Did I hear wrong then?”

Riko Aida pursed her lips, and at the same time, shifted her gaze to the goalpost nearby.

She clearly saw a distinct and huge dent on the goalpost, as if it had been struck by something heavy.

Although this was an old gymnasium, the quality of the sports equipment was still very good.

Could a seventeen-year-old high school student’s shot do something like this?

Absolutely impossible.

‘Although Ryosuke Kira is a relatively excellent player… with his physical capabilities, he absolutely couldn’t create a shot of this magnitude. Someone must have deliberately damaged the goal as a prank yesterday.’

Riko Aida thought to herself.

“By the way, Aida-san, do you see anything in my physique that needs improvement?”

Just then, Ryosuke Kira spoke, pulling Riko Aida’s attention back to reality.
