Chapter 41 begins with Isagi, Nagi, Bachira, and Barou entering the next stage of the Second Selection. The atmosphere becomes drastically different — quieter, colder, and more technical. Every team here is stronger, faster, and far more evolved.
Isagi immediately notices that the top players are analyzing each other, not just playing. Everyone here is hunting for the perfect combination to reach the next level.
The new 4-man squad starts warm-ups — but Barou refuses to cooperate.
He doesn’t pass, doesn’t communicate, doesn’t adjust.
He treats every move as if he is the only king on the pitch.
Nagi tries to lighten the mood. Bachira enjoys the chaos.
But Isagi understands something important:
“To reach the top, we must break Barou’s ego again. This time from the inside.”
Isagi begins watching Barou’s movement patterns during a basic drill. Barou always chooses the “king’s path,” even without opponents — predictable, straight, rigid.
Isagi knows this flaw will be the key to beating future opponents.
