Germany Stratum’s BLMS Training Room. Isagi together with Raichi and Igaguri are doing a Shuttle Run Training to improve their stamina. Igaguri already can’t keep up with such an intense training that he fell so it’s Isagi and Raichi that continues running for 20 laps. Next is a One Touch Pass Training with Kurona. Kurona suggested they increase their tempo, passing in between obstacles. Isagi kinda messed up the last one so he apologized to Kurona, but Kurona said their tempo is good so they gotta do it again. Then, an Off the ball moving training with Hiori as Isagi’s teammate against Kiyora and Yukimiya. Hiori is defending the ball from Kiyora then passes it across the field to Isagi. Isagi successfully got the ball before Yukki, then scored a point.
Yukimiya: “Haha, shoot, you got me… That turnover was superb”. Isagi: “Alright! Kurona: Wow~ You’re getting good, Isagi.” Igaguri: “You’re really starting to look like a monster…” Hiori gives Isagi a tumbler while they rested from training. Then… Hiori: “Metavision”? Isagi: “It feels like you’re seeing the entirety in your peripheral vision. It’s an application of the “reflexes” you probably told me before, Hiori. It’s like doing it all the time. It’s very exhausting.” Isagi had a flashback of Hiori asking him “Why not try thinking reflexively?” Hiori: “That’s great. But your body couldn’t keep up with the image you were thinking at the time, r’ght?” Isagi: “Yeah, That’s why I’m training to be able to do it. It’s what I’m doing now…” Hiori: “… To those around you, it looks like you’ve awakened all at once, but to you, it looks like you’re just gradually improving all the steps of what you can do… It’s a steady awakening, isn’t it?”
Isagi: “Yeah, I think that’s what improving is all about.” Hiori: “But in that match, Isagi-kun… Your predictions and moves were so godlike that from the outside it was like you were manipulating everyone in the field.” Isagi: “Huh” Hiori: “That’s exactly what it was. If your personal mentality was exposed to that”sense of being the protagonist”, then you must have looked like a god or a ruler to Yukki, r’ght?” Isagi: “Manipulating the field… A ruler…” Isagi *internal monologue*: “Is it… Could it be that this is the same impression I had of Rin when we first fought? And to be able to do it here on the stage of the Neo-Egoist League against the world’s bests… Maybe I’ve reached a truly amazing level!
Isagi: “But even if this training goes well and I improve my level… the chance of beating Kaiser is 50% at most… No, 40.” Hiori: “Wow! You can imagine that much? Isn’t that enough? If you get that far against Kaiser…” Isagi: “No, it’s not. It’s meaningless unless I have a theory that I can win 100%. Noa was there for that match, so I was able to move freely. But I can’t be the best in the world if I rely on that. Even if I played perfectly, using “metavision” and weaving this”sense of being the protagonist,” “something” is still lacking for me to score 100%.” Raichi and Igaguri are still training in the background. Raichi is getting annoyed since Igaguri is practicing just to get fouls on purpose.
Raichi: “You acting monk!” Igaguri: “Ha! Call me “sneaky”! I’ve mastered the art of getting fouls from my right shoulder almost 100% of the time!” Isagi, overhearing their conversation, thought about “100%…” from what Igaguri said. Raichi: “What are you trying to do, idiot? We have VAR, they’ll know if you’re acting!” Igaguri: “I’m not acting! It’s just a “light hit and an exaggerated fall”! Raichi: “It’s definitely acting!” Then after that, something kinda triggered Isagi. Igaguri: “Shut up! I’ll be the guy who fouls no matter where I hit! And I’m gonna win against that VAR! This is my awakening!” Raichi: “Stop that! You’re not helping me with the practice!” Igaguri: “It’s sneaky!” Raichi and Igaguri continue their bickering, while Hiori and Isagi are still sitting when… Hiori: “Haha, what an idiot.” Isagi: “No… That’s it. Damn… maybe… it’s perfect… to goal… 100%…”
Hiori asks what he means and Isagi gets up, runs and tells Igaguri, “Thanks, Igaguri. You’re the best!”. Raichi and Igaguri are both surprised and Igaguri says, “Don’t tell me he’ll awaken as a “sneaky” one too!?” Raichi: “I’ll bet it’s not that.” Yukki asks if Isagi’s gone and Hiori says, “Yeah, he went somewhere with a face that looks like he came up with something again…” Yukki: “Seriously, dammit… Is he gonna evolve again, that soccer brat?” Hiori: “… Yeah. Me too… I really want to play soccer like that.” Isagi is running down the hall. Isagi *internal monologue*: “I’m sure I can do it! But to master this theory in such a short time, I can’t do it alone. He’s the only one who holds the clue to this new piece I found…!” Isagi is stopped by at the door where Kunigami is training with weights. Isagi says, “Yo, Musclehead. Lend me your ability.” This is where the chapter ends and the next chapter is titled “vs. Ubers”. We’ll have a colored page.
