From the previous chapter, Ubers is in possession of the ball, thanks to Niko’s steal. Gagamaru is bracing for a possible shot to the goal. Gagamaru: “Whoa! Ubers is good at switching… Now, who’s going to shoot…” Niko passes the ball to Sendo, Gagamaru seeing how their passes are linked without any stops, then the ball goes to Barou. Yukimiya and another BM player are heading towards Barou to cut off his course. Yukimiya: “I’m leaving the rear to you, Gagamaru!” Gagamaru says certainly. However, Barou passes the ball to Niko, opposite to what Yukimiya and Gagamaru expected. What happens next as Gagamaru watches the ball… Gagamaru: “Barou passes? For real… how did they tame him!! Niko keeps it… No, he switched with Sendo!! A one-two at a blind spot!? How subtle was that in such a dense area… but who’s got the ball right now?”
In front of Gagamaru, Birkenstock is marking on Barou, Kurona’s on Niko and Ali with Sendo. Gagamaru: “I can’t see-“ Then a sudden shot was incoming, so it was late for Gagamaru to notice it… the shot was from Barou. Start of the Neo-Egoist League, Italy Stratum Starting Room. After Marc Snuffy explained what Ubers’ philosophy is. Barou: “You think soccer is “work”? What an unambitious philosophy. I don’t play soccer with that kind of narrow thinking.” Barou walked away. Lorenzo just looked at him while Aiku tried to call out to him. Once Barou exited the room, Snuffy said, “He’s awesome.” Training field. Barou’s on a shooting practice alone, when someone says, “Nice kick, Barou Shouei. I have nothing to criticize, even with your physicality.” Barou looked at who was talking, and it was Snuffy standing by the door. Snuffy: “Data shows that you have the strongest striker aptitude in Ubers. So please! Just think I’ve tricked you and just ride on my stupid philosophy for once!” Barou: “…Even so, you’re still the master, huh.” Snuffy: “Is that a no?”
Barou: “Yeah, it is. For me, soccer isn’t work. It’s a “way” to become a king. I’m gonna win this world my way, and if you want to use me, you’re gonna have to adapt to me, wimpy master.” Snuffy: “I like you, Barou Shouei. You’re awesome, for real! But you think you’re a genius and a superior being, right?” Quickly, Snuffy stole the ball from him. Snuffy: “You’re human before you’re a soccer player. And if you’re wrong about that… You’re an amateur.” Snuffy gestured, “Come at me” which made Barou more irritated. Barou: Shut up. Snuffy: “In the end, you live your life looking down on people who don’t have talent. Your talent is just a gift your parents gave you. You’re not a pro if you don’t know what that means.” Barou: “Huh!? What the hell is that!? You’re sayin’ if I thank my mom and dad, I’ll be the best in the world!? Then I don’t appreciate it… I’m going down in history as the world’s worst striker!” Snuffy: “Barou Shouei. You are like me. There was a time when I would have put everything I had into my talent, and together we made it happen.” There is a flashback of Marc Snuffy winning the World Cup.
Snuffy: “I had a best friend. We did everything we could with the wealth and fame we got from soccer. We both thought we could be the kings of soccer, and neither of us doubted it, but we screwed up.” Barou, who was trying to steal the ball, got pushed by Snuffy and fell on the ground. Snuffy: “From poor performance due to a lack of training to injuries caused by overdoing it to scandals that cost their place as a regular… The instant a human falls is only a moment.” Barou: “Hah, What’s up with that loser’s memoir?” Snuffy: “And then their heart collapse. My best friend killed himself.” Barou was shocked to hear it that he didn’t stand up right after he fell. Snuffy: “Barou Shouei, will you like yourself when you’re not a genius anymore? You are a person before you are a soccer player. Whether you have talent or not, that’s the only thing you have to hold on to. So, Barou Shouei, come “work” with me. As the “King of Ubers”, will you be my successor?” To be continued in the next chapter, “Stealth Killer.”
