Loki's block sparks a Paris X Gen counterattack while the score stays locked at two apiece. Overwhelmed by the geniuses around him, Isagi begins framing himself as a talented learner, and Ego predicts that very wall will become the boy's stepping stone.
Summary
Loki's deflection loops high, and Karasu wins the header over Hiori before feeding Zantetsu, whose jet-like burst catches Ness flat. Raichi tells his side to stall rather than rush. Struggling to keep pace, Isagi ponders what genius truly means, judging Loki's speed to sit beyond it alongside Rin and Noa. When he asks Noa for guidance, Noa demands a winning theory and admits he feels nothing from Isagi, caring only for those who aim to surpass him. From this Isagi concludes he is no genius but someone who adapts to them, a talented learner.
Zantetsu works the ball through Shido to Charles, whose delivery slips past everyone to Rin, who reads that the pass was meant for him all along.
Key Events
Zantetsu launches PXG's counterattack, and Charles disguises a pass toward Shido that Rin collects instead. Rin surges past Birkenstock before shrugging off Hiori and Mensah, then knocks Igarashi down for another baited foul that hands Bastard München possession. Discouraged, Isagi fears he is merely a talent about to vanish here, while Ego watches the screen and promises that the wall of the gifted will become Isagi's stepping stone toward the evolution formula.
