Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Blue Sky and White Clouds!
In the match against Team Y, Kira gained a total of 170 points, and the three days of training earned him 30 points, accumulating a total of 200 points.
Upgrading Rice Spirit to Level 2 requires 50 points, while upgrading Full Concentration Breathing to Level 2 requires 100 points. After deducting the points spent on training in the practice Space during these past few days, there weren't any points available to upgrade Thunderclap Flash.
However, after the third match, he would be able to upgrade Thunderclap Flash to Level 3.
Kira quickly upgraded Thunderclap Flash to Level 3, costing him 100 points, leaving him with 80 points.
With an inexplicable surge of power entering his body, Kira's Thunderclap Flash underwent an upgrade.
This meant that he had a longer shooting range, stronger explosive power, and less physical exertion.
Kira could now use this skill more frequently during matches and take shots from a greater distance.
And at that moment, the voice of the system rang out once again.
[Acquired achievement: Outstanding Midfielder - Made the first appearance as a midfielder in an official match and achieved victory. Reward: 40 points]
[Acquired achievement: Organizing Center - Provided at least 3 assists to 3 different players in an official match and achieved victory. The lowest-level skill gains 25% proficiency.]
[Acquired achievement: Trinity - Played in three different major positions during matches, increasing the efficiency of acquiring points through training each day, with the upper limit raised to 20 points.]
This unlocked achievement brought significant benefits to Kira. It wasn't just the direct gains of points and proficiency, but the most important aspect was that the number of points acquired through training doubled each day. This would greatly accelerate Kira's speed of leveling up and unlocking new skills.
Initially, Kira had planned to focus only on these three skills. However, with the doubled daily points, he could now practice more skills.
However, for Kira, that wasn't the most important thing right now.
He had already scored ten goals in total, which meant he could exchange them for the opportunity to go outside. Tomorrow was also the day he had arranged to meet Riko.
Kira quickly arrived at the cafeteria and exchanged his pass for going outside.
It was an ordinary-looking access card, but there was a line of text written on it.
"When the need to go outside arises, proceed to the Gate of Building Five, and the gate will automatically unlock."
In the original story, the privilege of exchanging for this pass was not utilized within the Blue lock.
On one hand, it was because there weren't many people who needed this privilege, but most importantly, very few people were able to score ten goals in advance.
In the original story, only Baro Shoei achieved this feat in the first round of matches.
However, Kira had already contributed 13 goals within three matches, along with numerous assists and steals, surpassing Baro Shoei by a wide margin.
....
Outside the Blue lock, in the Itoshi residence.
At this moment, Itoshi Sae sat boredly in front of his computer, watching the Blue lock footage sent to him by the president of the Football Association.
Originally, he had some interest in the Blue lock plan, but at the moment, these so-called top potential forwards from across the country were nothing more than a group of worthless fish and shrimps, including his own younger brother.
There was no need to bother watching these matches.
"Trash."
"No skills at all."
"Wasting opportunities."
In Itoshi Sae's eyes, all these people were worthless.
Expressionless, he skipped through the match recordings one by one, only pausing briefly on one person.
"Shido Ryusei, huh? That's barely a name worth remembering."
Itoshi Sae's eyebrows raised slightly, then he continued to quickly and roughly watch the remaining recordings.
The level and abilities of a player could be seen from just a segment or even a single shot.
But at this moment, Itoshi Sae pressed the pause button and squinted his eyes slightly.
One person caught his attention.
Kira Ryosuke.
He carefully watched a particular segment, which showed Kira Ryosuke facing off against Baro Shoei and using a left-footed Thunderclap Flash shot.
"His dominant foot is his right, but he just produced such a powerful shot with his left foot. Quite interesting, Kira Ryosuke, huh? To think there's someone like him in the Blue lock, I never noticed before."
Itoshi Sae murmured to himself and immediately dialed his agent's phone.
"Get me more footage of that person named Kira Ryosuke."
He spoke with an absolute commanding tone.
.....
The next morning, Kira woke up early and after a period of morning training, successfully obtained today's 20 points.
Not only did the upper limit increase, but the efficiency of earning points through training also improved significantly.
After finishing his morning training, Kira exchanged a few words with his teammates before arriving at the entrance of the building.
At this moment, the gate was tightly closed, and ordinary people couldn't leave from here.
Blue lock was true to its name.
Just as Kira arrived, the screen above the gate suddenly lit up, displaying a figure of Ego.
"Although I set up this reward, I didn't expect someone to achieve it at this time."
Ego observed Kira carefully, silently contemplating for a few seconds before continuing,
"You can go outside for twenty-four hours. Starting from the moment you officially leave the building, if you don't return on time, your eligibility will be revoked. It's almost twelve noon now, so your free time will be around tomorrow noon. The travel expenses can be reimbursed when the time comes. If there are no issues, you can swipe your card and leave from here."
"Understood."
Kira nodded and didn't say much. He attached the access card to the gate and slowly, the tightly closed gate opened.
What came into his sight was the bright blue sky and the dazzling sun. A cool breeze gently brushed against his cheeks.
For over half a month, Kira had never seen such a view. He had been living in a confined environment, and it felt refreshing to experience the long-lost freedom.
"Finally, I can temporarily leave this cursed place. Can't waste time, it's time to go."
Kira sent a message to Riko, informing her that he had left the Blue lock. Then he stretched his body lazily and hailed a taxi on the roadside to Seirin High School.
