Blue Prison, I, Kirara Ryosuke, get the Breathing of Thunder at the beginning Chapter 149

After about ten minutes, the match finally ended, with the score settling at 3:1.

After Ryosuke Kira scored, Prince bent over, feigning injury, and limped off the field.

As he walked off, he waved to the camera with a smile on his face, as if he had just played while injured.

This way, Prince could use his ‘injury’ as an excuse for losing the match, and even use it as a topic to hype up his ‘tough guy image.’

After celebrating with his teammates, Ryosuke Kira returned to the substitutes’ bench, took the towel Noah handed him, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He felt a very clear sense of fatigue, which was due to Ryosuke Kira’s repeated use of Transparent World and Divine Illusion.

‘It seems I need further practice.’

Ryosuke Kira thought to himself.

At the same time, the system’s voice rang out again.

This match still brought Ryosuke Kira a very considerable income in competition points.

“Well done, Kira.”

As Ryosuke Kira was pondering, Noah, who was beside him, turned to look at Ryosuke Kira, his gaze affirming.

“It just seemed like Prince wasn’t in form.”

Ryosuke Kira replied modestly.

“No, that guy was more serious than anyone just now.”

Noah replied directly.

As an old opponent, he knew very well that Prince hadn’t held back at all, playing at the same level as he usually did in the professional league.

Even so, Prince couldn’t win against Ryosuke Kira.

Noah looked at Ryosuke Kira; he himself wasn’t sure if he could beat Ryosuke Kira…

However, Noah wasn’t too concerned about the title of world’s number one. Instead, he was more curious about what heights Ryosuke Kira could reach in the future.

“Lost again…”

Seishiro Nagi draped a towel over his head and said slowly.

Hyoma Chigiri gulped down sports drinks, replenishing his almost depleted stamina.

Reo Mikage looked at Ryosuke Kira, his gaze carrying a hint of unwillingness, but he had to admit Ryosuke Kira’s terrifying strength.

Haruhisa Kuribayashi, in the distance, wiped sweat from his face, a faint smile still visible.

Although the match was lost, the exhilarating feeling left him unforgettable.

He hadn’t felt this way in a long time.

“Coach Fukuda, thank you very much for sending me here.”

Haruhisa Kuribayashi said slowly.

“What a shame, if I hadn’t been injured, we should have won this match!”

In the coach’s box, Prince gravely rubbed his calf.

“But, Bayern Munich’s mentor Noah didn’t play either.”

Seishiro Nagi said somewhat innocently and honestly.

“Haha.”

Prince chuckled, pretending not to hear Seishiro Nagi.

Just then, the large screen in the stadium suddenly lit up.

“Good work, everyone.”

Jinpachi Ego said slowly. This time, he didn’t use the term ‘unpolished gems.’

Because he knew very well that in Blue Lock, many people were no longer ‘unpolished gems’; they had already emitted their own light.

For example, Ryosuke Kira.

“Next, we’ll announce the latest annual salary rankings. Since each team has played a different number of matches, this ranking is for current reference only and is subject to change at any time.”

As soon as Jinpachi Ego finished speaking, a full list appeared on the screen.

Yoichi Isagi 32 million.

Yoichi Isagi looked up, incredulously staring at the screen. His offered annual salary had increased even further than before.

This time, Yoichi Isagi’s annual salary was slightly lower than in the original work at the same period. In the original, at the critical moment of the German-English match, Yoichi Isagi used his incredibly high football IQ and transcendent vision to write his own script, completing a decisive goal with Kenyu Yukimiya, raising his value to 50 million.

However, that was also because Yoichi Isagi was in a high-pressure environment every day, not only having to find ways to beat his teammates but also guarding against backstabbing from them. The team atmosphere at Bayern Munich was extremely poor.

Now, due to Ryosuke Kira’s intervention, it was completely different. Bayern Munich had become a very united team.

Mainly because the two toxic elements, Kaiser and Ness, had been removed.

Ranze Kurona 17 million. He showed good passing and control abilities in the match.

Jingo Raichi 17 million. His mad-dog-like pressing and crucial last-minute tackles added a lot of points.

Rensuke Kunigami 20 million. Although he didn’t score, he showed excellent offensive ability in the attacking end, being very threatening.

In addition, Kenyu Yukimiya, who scored one goal in the match, also had an offer of 25 million.

Reo Mikage 40 million, which was reasonable given his very comprehensive performance on the field.

Seishiro Nagi was also 80 million, just like in the original work. Although he didn’t display the spectacular five-shot volley again, his intentional kick-out rebound feint could also be considered a miraculous performance. This match brought him a large number of new fans.

“ 90 million?”

Haruhisa Kuribayashi looked up and saw his own offer, feeling a sense of unreality.

He had previously signed a dual-team contract with his club, requiring him to play in the J-League and occasionally return to the youth team for matches. His salary was pitifully small in comparison, not even one-tenth of this.

And now, just one match could earn Haruhisa Kuribayashi such a huge contract.

Not only that, but his contract would further increase with subsequent matches.

Although he didn’t score in the match, Haruhisa Kuribayashi’s performance was evident, completely connecting the entire team. He could be said to be the absolute brain of this team.

Above Haruhisa Kuribayashi, Genzo Wakabayashi’s annual salary also exceeded 100 million.

Like a guardian deity, he repeatedly intercepted very threatening shots from England.

After confirming their respective market values and annual salaries, the others continued to move their gazes upwards, unanimously looking at the top of the list.

Ryosuke Kira.

310 million.

Ryosuke Kira’s performance was evident to all. All the top football clubs in the world had witnessed his power.

He had clearly entered the ranks of the world’s top players.

And this annual salary of 310 million also meant that these club owners had recognized a reality.

Ryosuke Kira’s level was above Kaiser’s.

“This…”

Ness turned to comfort Kaiser, while the latter stared intently at the club listed after the price:

Bayern Munich.

Kaiser’s expression was grave; he knew very well what this meant.

Bayern Munich had already decided that Ryosuke Kira was superior to Kaiser and was preparing to replace him with Ryosuke Kira.

Even if Kaiser had no intention of staying at Bayern Munich, this incident undoubtedly struck a blow to his pride.

In every aspect, Kaiser had been utterly crushed by Ryosuke Kira.

Although Kaiser’s ability would naturally ensure he wouldn’t lack club offers, he definitely wouldn’t be able to get an annual salary of 300 million again.

He had originally wanted to raise his own value, but in the end, he had lowered it instead.

But Kaiser could only accept this fact now.

No matter how much Kaiser didn’t want to admit it, he knew that Ryosuke Kira’s strength was far superior to his own.

Ryosuke Kira was the only person Kaiser truly respected.

“ 300 million!”

Ashito Aoi couldn’t help but exclaim. This number was something he couldn’t even dream of.

After this battle, his own value had directly risen to 20 million, more than doubling, which left him somewhat incredulous.

In this match, he contributed two remarkably imaginative passes and performed well in both offense and defense.

20 million was already an astronomical figure for Ashito Aoi, but Ryosuke Kira’s value had increased by over 100 million more!

Ashito Aoi couldn’t even imagine how much food that money could buy him; it felt like he could eat for several lifetimes.

“The match is over, you all should rest well.”

Jinpachi Ego pushed up his glasses.

“The match between Italy and Spain is about to begin. The former will be your next opponent.”

After he finished speaking, the large screen immediately went dark.

“Italy?”

Ryosuke Kira mumbled to himself, recalling the members of the Italian team.

In the original work, they not only had Shoei Baro, Zantetsu Tsurugi, and Aiku Oliver, but also Don Lorenzo, who was one of the Eleven Super Novas like Kaiser, hailed as the ‘Ace Eater.’

Judging solely from the lineup, Italy Ubers possessed extremely excellent defensive capabilities, far surpassing other teams.

Not only that, but this time the Italian team also had strong players like Kojiro Hyuga, giving them formidable offensive power, and it seemed that Ken Wakashimazu was also in this team.

A goalkeeper who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Genzo Wakabayashi, not only integrating karate moves into his goalkeeping techniques but also possessing extremely strong jumping and offensive abilities.

His addition would definitely further enhance the Italian team’s defensive capabilities.

As things stood, Italy could be considered a tough nut to crack.

However, Ryosuke Kira was also full of anticipation for the upcoming matches.

After a brief rest, Ryosuke Kira and his teammates returned to their dorms to watch the match on the large screen in their room.

After a long battle, Italy ultimately defeated Spain with a score of 4:2.

With neither team’s mentor strikers on the field, Tsubasa Ozora from the Spanish team scored two goals.

And Kojiro Hyuga from the Italian team also created two goals—not only him, but Shoei Baro also pierced Spain’s goal twice.

After watching the match, the German team members were all somewhat surprised, even Ryosuke Kira.

Because during the match, Shoei Baro surprisingly passed the ball to others multiple times very proactively, something the usually selfish player had never done before.

In the first match, Shoei Baro hadn’t played much and was benched, clearly having little coordination with his other teammates—but in the second match, the scene was completely different.

Shoei Baro completely integrated into the team’s offense. He, who should have been unable to coexist with Kojiro Hyuga, surprisingly cooperated with Kojiro Hyuga multiple times in this match.

The two covered each other, creating shooting opportunities for each other.

“Baro actually… passed the ball to others voluntarily?”

Yoichi Isagi looked at the screen in disbelief, rubbed his eyes, then looked at Ryosuke Kira with a puzzled expression.

“Did I… see that correctly?”

“Yes, Baro has completely changed his playing style.”

Ryosuke Kira nodded.

The moment Shoei Baro chose to pass the ball to his teammates, it meant a huge change in his playing style; he was no longer the ‘toxic’ player he once was.

Such a Shoei Baro would become even more threatening.

Just then, Ryosuke Kira’s terminal rang. The caller was Anri Teieri.

“Ms. Anri.”

“Kira, come to the control room!”

Anri Teieri’s voice came from the other end of the terminal.

“Didn’t we say earlier that after your match, you’d be participating in some advertising activities at various universities? Come over later, and I’ll tell you about it—oh, and call Ashito too, please.”

“Okay.”

Ryosuke Kira nodded. Jinpachi Ego had indeed told Ryosuke Kira about these matters beforehand.

Jinpachi Ego naturally disliked such activities, but this was a plan from the capital behind the second stage of Blue Lock, and he couldn’t refuse.

However, these activities were not detrimental to the implementation of the Blue Lock plan. Blue Lock could obtain more financial sponsorship, and on the other hand, it might also discover more talent from various schools.

After a brief conversation, Ryosuke Kira quickly took Ashito Aoi to the control room, where Anri Teieri and Jinpachi Ego had been waiting for a long time.
