I revived the Demonic Sect in North America

The kickoff round is over!

The formal offensive and defensive round begins!

The River Valley High School Knights' offense, led by their somber-faced captain and quarterback Jack Davis, trotted onto the field, stepping into the narrow, pressure-filled area in front of their end zone.

The eleven players quickly lined up behind the 15-yard line.

Eleven people were crammed into such a small space, which not only made it feel cramped but also quite comical.

Bruce, as the center forward on the offensive line, stood at the forefront of the battle.

His imposing frame was like a reliable wall, and his eyes, sharp as knives, beneath his helmet visor, were fixed on the group of priests' defensive forwards who were poised to charge forward.

The pressure of the competition was like a thick fog from the very first second.

It permeated the air around every member of the Cavaliers' offensive unit.

The referee loudly announced:

"First tier, starting with the 15-yard line!"

A prominent orange first-attack marker was placed at the 15-yard line.

The offensive rules in rugby are quite unique.

The attacking side has four attacking opportunities per round, also known as the four-tier system.

Each attack requires advancing forward by running the ball or passing it.

If a player accumulates 10 yards within four offensive opportunities, they will be awarded four new opportunities.

If possession is not gained 10 yards by the end of fourth down, possession must be relinquished.

Therefore, if a team is too weak and is tightly blocked by the defense, they will not be able to advance more than 10 yards on four consecutive downs.

They usually choose to punt the ball away from the fourth down.

This forces the opponent to push back far away in their next offensive round.

Or try a long-range shot.

If you're lucky, you might just unleash a powerful shot into the shooting zone, and you'll at least get 3 points.

As a quarterback, Jack has 40 seconds to prepare for the offensive play before the kickoff.

Amidst the deafening ambient noise and the shouts deliberately created by the opposing defensive players, he quickly used gestures and short words to give instructions to his surrounding teammates.

The group nodded and quickly spread out, forming a basic shotgun formation.

Every offensive possession begins with the center on the defensive line passing the ball to the quarterback.

The way the ball was passed was quite comical; it was simply passed between the legs.

Li Ang's close friend Bruce, due to his outstanding physical qualities, plays center on both offense and defense.

He bent down, his thick arms bulging with muscles, and steadily held the rugby ball placed on the grass.

Every muscle in his body was taut like a steel wire, already in battle mode.

Quarterback Jack, in charge of directing the play, issued a series of rapid commands for the opening pitch:

"Ready, set, kick off!"

Bruce moved at the sound!

He made a precise and quick back pass between his legs to Jack, who was half a step behind him, with a clean and efficient movement.

He didn't hesitate the moment the pass was completed.

He immediately took a big step forward, lowered his shoulders and head, and used his strong body of more than 250 pounds to slam into the priest team's defensive interceptor who was rushing towards him!

"Bang!!!"

A dull, jarring thud could be faintly heard even from the stands!

Bruce successfully held his opponent back thanks to his excellent core strength and weight advantage.

Even slightly pushed away.

He remarkably cleared a small, relatively clean area for quarterback Jack behind him.

The quarterback can be considered the offensive brain and absolute core of a football team.

According to the rules, when a quarterback receives the ball from the center, he can choose to pass it directly to the running back for a rush.

You can also step back to look for opportunities to pass the ball, allowing the wide receiver or tight end who has run forward to receive the ball and rush forward.

It can even run with the ball on its own.

For each offensive possession, he reads the defense, calls out tactics, and decides on the offensive method.

He initiates all tactics and decisions on the field.

Of course, since the quarterback position has so many privileges, it also naturally comes with greater limitations.

As a quarterback, if you are tackled to the ground by a defensive player, lose the ball, or have your pass intercepted, you will lose possession of the ball immediately.

It can be said that the success or failure of a team's offense almost entirely depends on him.

After receiving the ball, Jack quickly retreated a few steps, his eyes scanning the frontcourt eagerly.

Clearly, he was looking for a teammate to pass the ball to.

But the Pastors' second line of defense kept a very tight defense.

They stuck to the Cavaliers' wide receivers like glue, with no clear open spaces appearing.

The opportunity to pass the ball is fleeting.

Jack immediately changed his strategy, making a nimble pocket move to cleverly avoid the defensive pressure from the Priests' team penetrating from the other side.

He demonstrated his solid footwork fundamentals as a quarterback.

At the same time, with a flick of his wrist, he deftly passed the ball to the running back who was passing by him.

The running back caught the ball, tucked it under his arm, and charged towards the left gap that Bruce had just opened!

Bruce was still wrestling with the opposing defensive tackle, using his body to firmly block his position.

The runner spotted the narrow passage and instantly accelerated!

At this moment, the Pastors' defensive coordination is at an extremely high level.

One of the linebackers seemed to have anticipated the run.

He shook off the Cavaliers' guards who were trying to block him and moved sideways.

He lunged at the running back less than a yard from the tee line.

A strong arm grabbed the running back around the waist and used the momentum to slam him hard to the ground!

Dust flew everywhere.

The referee blew his whistle, signaling that the ball was out of play.

Bruce ran over and pulled the fallen running back up from the ground.

After taking the measurements, the referee announced:

"First down complete, ball stopped at approximately the 16-yard line. Advance approximately 1 yard."

1 yard? ??

Only size 1!!!

In rugby rules, a player must advance the ball more than 10 yards in four offensive possessions or lose possession.

The first attacking opportunity usually comes when the attacking team is at its most motivated and physically strongest.

On this crucial first offensive possession, the Cavaliers only advanced by 1 yard?!

"A generous gift from Shirtwaist!"

A chorus of sighs of regret and indignant shouts erupted from the stands:

"Gah! Just one step?! What are those Knights kids doing?!"

"It's all those priests' fault! They defended way too fast!"

The referee repositioned the orange first-down marker, now at the 25-yard line, and signaled the start of the second down:

"Second gear, size 9!"

Captain Jack's expression was even more serious than before, his lips pressed tightly together.

He rallied his teammates again and quickly devised a passing strategy.

After the kickoff, Jack quickly retreated five steps, his eyes fixed on the close forward making a diagonal run from the center.

The tight end has already pulled away from the linebacker by half a body length.

very good!

Have the opportunity!

Jack raised his arm behind him, ready to pass the ball.

But just as the ball was about to leave his hands, a Pastors linebacker who was originally roaming on the other side saw through Jack's passing intention.

In an instant, he started moving ahead of time and leaped into the air!

The outstretched arm's fingertips barely grazed the bottom of the spinning rugby ball as it flew out!

"Smack!"

A soft sound.

That gentle touch decisively changed the ball's spin and trajectory!

The pass, which should have landed in the arms of the close end, suddenly became high and floaty.

In the end, it grazed the near end of the ball and landed crookedly on the grass a few yards away.

No one caught it.

Pass failed!

Dead ball!
