"Optimal X Supreme = Worst" (
Overview[]
The first match between Team A and Team B continues. The score is tied 2 - 2.
Summary[]
After Rin's blind shot, Chigiri calls the goal "unreal" with Shido acknowledging Rin as "amazing". Isagi is frustrated that he hasn't been able to do anything in the game, recognizes that he needs to shake Karasu and make himself a part of Rin and Shido's attacks if he is to prove his worth.
Chigiri looks at Isagi from across the field, wondering if Isagi is thinking the same as him about how he needs to assert himself to justify his existence on the team. As Chigiri witnesses Karasu and Otoya banter with each other about strategy, Chigiri recognizes that he can't complete with Otoya and Karasu and will need to focus on using his own weapon.
At the restart, Karasu has the ball and easily moves past Shido. Recognizing that it is worthless to cluster in the middle of the field to await a pass, Chigiri speeds down the right side. As Isagi attempts to stop Chigiri, Chigiri makes his way through becoming wide open to receive a pass from Karasu. When Rin comes to challenge, Chigiri sees Otoya making a move and passes to him. With Hiori unable to stop Otoya form scoring, Otoya states that he like's Chigiri's speed.
With Rin and Hiori passing back and forth for the next play, Isagi recognizes Hiori's skill in being mindful of what is happening on the field as he keeps up with Rin's passes. As Isagi positions himself for a chance and making a direct shot, Karasu cuts through Isagi's blind spot to block his movement. As Hiori sends a pass to the goal box for Rin to score, Shido intercepts the pass and calls it his ball. Chigiri grabs the loose ball and passes to Otoya, who passes to Karasu when pressed by Nanase. Karasu easily scores another goal, bringing Team B ahead with a score of 4 - 2.
After Rin and Shido pick themselves off the ground from their collision, they grab each other by the jersey and argue "that was mine" regarding Hiori's pass. As Isagi watches the two name-calling, Isagi realizes that their incompatibility may be key to him being able to assert himself.
