While specific narrative details are unavailable, the chapter notes highlight key moments: Isagi tries to involve Baro, but Baro’s arrogance prevents the cooperation. Kunigami intercepts, steals the ball, and scores with a finesse shot. Isagi then passes to Nagi, who performs a creative Trap move against Chigiri to score

: In their shared room, Isagi attempts to mediate between Nagi and Baro as tensions rise. The two bicker over trivial things, with playful attacks and tension turning to comic relief when Baro tidies the room, earning the nickname “Maid Baro.” Isagi reflects on Baro’s self-driven rigid routines. Later, in the training room, Baro delays joining Isagi and Nagi, prompting them to start without him. Isagi recognizes that defeating the top three requires “chemical reactions” between players.

: After the match, Isagi and Nagi celebrate as the white team wins. Baro is frustrated, and Naruhaya reflects on his loss. Isagi tells Naruhaya either could have won, and Naruhaya acknowledges Isagi’s adaptability—though internally resists pity. Nagi asks who Isagi “robbed” (defeated), and Isagi names Baro, implicitly eliminating Naruhaya. In thought, Naruhaya thanks Isagi but urges him not to be soft—Isagi needs to be ruthless to survive. Flashbacks show Naruhaya’s family’s support, including a homemade omamori from his siblings. Ultimately, Naruhaya is eliminated. Later, Chigiri and Kunigami consider teaming up with Reo, who had been abandoned by Nagi.

While no specific summary is present here, this chapter follows the progression from Chapter 53. Based on the story arc, it likely continues the on-field dynamics and psychological shifts among Isagi, Nagi, Naruhaya, and Baro.

Isagi realizes his deficit in one-on-one situations and the need to evolve beyond mediocrity. He teams up with Nagi to bypass Naruhaya and score, tying the game 3–3. Naruhaya later exploits Isagi’s blind spot to help Baro score (4–3). Isagi grasps the importance of off-the-ball movement and uses this to assist Nagi, leveling again to 4–4. Nagi notes that the next goal will decide the match, while Isagi focuses on refining his play style.

Isagi realizes he lacks a 1-on-1 weapon and must evolve to avoid mediocrity. Teamwork with Nagi leads to a goal, tying it 3–3. Naruhaya later steals and assists Baro, making it 4–3. Isagi notes Naruhaya exploited his blind spot and grasps the importance of off-the-ball movement. He adapts, assisting Nagi to make it 4–4. Nagi remarks the next goal will decide it, but Isagi remains committed to transforming his play style.

The game is tied 1–1. Isagi observes that Nagi has mastered a 1-on-1 winning formula: if he receives a pass behind him, he won’t lose. Nagi faces Baro in a duel; Isagi disrupts Baro, passes to Nagi, who executes the formula and scores. Naruhaya, having surpassed Isagi, reacts: Baro eventually scores, and there’s tension as players lock eyes.

Isagi realizes Rin is Sae’s younger brother. Despite the intimidation, Isagi—and his teammates Bachira and Nagi—invite Rin’s team to face them in Stage 3. Rin accepts with the same detached focus.

Meanwhile, on Rin’s side, Tokimitsu is anxious about being picked, while Aryu dismisses facing “potatoes” like Isagi. Rin cuts through their chatter—he reveals he doesn’t care about being friendly or stylish; everyone is just a stepping stone toward his goal of crushing his brother, Sae Itoshi
