The team enters the next room and sees a 3-man squad standing with total confidence:
- Rin Itoshi
- Aryu Jyubei
- Tokimitsu Aoshi
Three players whose presence alone creates pressure.
Rin, the younger brother of Japan’s football prodigy Sae Itoshi, stares straight at Isagi — cold, emotionless, terrifyingly calm.
Aryu stands tall with elegance, calling everything “beautiful.”
Tokimitsu trembles with anxiety, but his body strength is monstrous.
Isagi’s team realizes immediately:
They’re facing the strongest trio in the Second Selection.
Bachira feels excitement — his “monster” is waking up again.
Barou scoffs, refusing to acknowledge their strength.
Nagi watches Rin closely, sensing he is leagues above everyone else.
Rin confidently chooses Isagi’s team for the next match.
Not because they’re strong — but because Rin wants to crush Isagi personally.
