Blue Lock: 13 Steps

Preparation For The Gifted

TIMESKIP (5 MONTHS)

A few months after their last conversation, Anri convinced the JFA (Japan Football Association) to build Blue Lock, now she just needs to oversee the construction of it.

Right now Anri is on the phone, with the same unrevealed man from their last conversation in the single bedroom apartment.

Anri: "The JFA sent top construction workers from all around Japan, and they started building Blue Lock."

The unknown man, inaudibly asked Anri for exact measurements of the foundation, and audibly said what every floor needs.

???: "The first floor will have the living quarters for every player and multiple practice fields, the second floor will be where players get introduced to the world of football, and the third and final floor will be where the top 10 scorers will fight to become the unrivaled striker."

Anri: "Alright, I'll give the blueprint of Blue Lock to the foreman and have him supervise every project."

Both Anri and the unrevealed man hung up the phone at the same time as they both worked on their own projects.

Anri monitored the nearby construction workers with the foreman as they began pouring concrete into the foundation of the building.

The unknown man pressed his glasses up to his nose as he began writing notes on the Flow state, and how Japan will become the strongest powerhouse in the world of football.

For Sho's 16th birthday, he had a long talk with Yushiro and Yoruichi and decided to go to Namikaze High School with Bachira.

Namikaze High School was a brand new school located right outside of Shizuoka, in Yamanashi.

It's been 1 year since the Namikaze High School started operating as a fully functional school. It was smaller in size compared to the multiple top-tier schools Sho toured in Japan. But since the school was new, everything in it was new, and it was conventionally placed next to a train station.

In the first year of its inauguration, a few students formed some clubs to spend their time after school.

Since the school's clubs were lacking, some people formed clubs like the Baseball Club, Body Improvement Club, Occult Research Club, and the Far-East Magical Napping Club.

Sho wanted to play football so he picked up a standard admission form and handed in another request form to join the club, from Meguru Bachira.

Since it was a new club, it had no coach so for the first few weeks, Sho and Bachira practiced together and occasionally went to other schools with their club advisor, and practiced with their teams.

After the first month, multiple forms from different students were sent in to join the Soccer Club. So the club advisor hosted a tryout and got Sho to handpick 13 players ranging from tall and skinny players to short and moderately chubby players. He even added a few bench players

Since the team was officially full, the club advisor registered for the Nihon Sageru Tournament.

As the Nihon Sageru Tournament commenced the unknown school, Namikaze High School got all the way through to the prefectural finals and faced off against Shutoku High School. Throughout the tournament Namikaze High School were able to knock off Yosen High School which were consistent semi finalist contenders, and a part of the 4 Kings of Japanese High School Football.
