It's been three days since entering Blue Lock, two days just after we took the 'entrance test'. Kira, formerly a participant in this program, was expelled during the the exam.

Currently, we are being held hostage on a rigorous training regimen. Mainly endurance test. To see if we're capable of lasting a 90' minute game.

Right now, I'm running on a treadmill. Besides me are Mr. Fanatic, Isagi and the one with the abnormal shark teeth and attitude, Raichi Jingo. Who I'd say it's a pain in the ass. I mean, look:

“Isagi!! Igaguri!! Your endurance's fuckin' garbage!! Ha, ha~ and you hot-shits think you can be the best striker in the world?!” Raichi conveyed.

See what I mean?

“How about you lose to me, you stick it up your asses and go home to cry about it, you bums?!” he added.

“Guh.... Huh....” Isagi uttered.

“Shaddap.... BLEARGH...!” Igarashi.... Vomited.

“Hey! Ayanokouji! How the hell are you still keeping up!! Your time is even higher than mine!! What the fuck is that endurance?!” Raichi ask, suprise of my stats.

I wasn't tired one bit, in fact. I could go longer, but if I do, troubles will arise and I'd like to avoid that. It's necessary for me to go low on radar.

==Endurance stats==

       20km/h pace

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka: 1:30:45 running time.

Raichi Jingo: 1:13:49 running time.

Isagi Yoichi: 0:42:13 running time.

Mr. Fanatic: 0:37:20 running time.

==Current time==

“Are you okay, Isagi? Need a drink?” the person that offered Isagi a drink is Kuon Wataru.

“I'd ignore that guy, if I were you. Let's just give it what we've got,” Kuon said, passing a bottle to Isagi.

“Thanks,” Isagi replied.

Although there are some problematic people here, there's also good ones. Oh Kuon, such a nice guy....

“One, two...!” Isagi and Kuon jumped. Although, the difference is that Kuon was much higher compare to Isagi. Almost as if, Isagi didn't even jump.

“Huh? Isagi, are you not feeling well?” Kuon asked.

“Ah... Haha.... Yeah...” Isagi uttered. Kuon's performance surely made Isagi's confidence hurt a lot.

Following a schedule, it was currently lunch time. Our activities are determined by Blue Lock's schedule, if the schedule says we train, we train. Feeling refreshed, after a bath. I swoop down to the cafeteria.

Beep! Beep!

This again.... What pleasure there is, if you've only received rice, miso soup, and the different dish base on your rank as an everyday meal.

Looking around, other players from different teams gathered to eat. I however, have no one to sit with. Is this the punishment for being a loner...? If it is, curse you society. I've never liked you anyway. Searching, searching and more searching.... I've found a spot, but alas, the spot is occupied by a teammate of mine. It was the beauty of our group, Chigiri Hyoma.

Wonder what's he doing.... Not that I care.

“Hey, do you mind? If I sit here?” I ask, hoping he'll said yes.
