❝ god striker. ❞ blue lock x male reader

three

ego made a huge speech, you did not expect it to make you shiver so much.

"i'll put it in simple terms. Japan only requires one thing to become the strongest powerhouse in football. And that is the creation of revolutionary striker."

"Football is, at its core, a sport about scoring goals even at the expense of your teammates. The best player is the one that scores the most."

"you can't become the world's greatest striker unless you are the world's biggest egoist."

it gets you hyped, does it not? he's absolutely right. you find yourself at the edge of your seat observing from the surveillance camera room. the world's greatest players are all egoists with no limits. you feel the need to go start kicking balls already.

as soon as the speech ends a fairly tall average looking teenager with blue short hair ran to the gate like his life depended on it.

main character much? you grin, everyone else was way too stunned to move and engulfed with indecisiveness but this guy almost knew that it's for him. you nod your head and praise him to yourself for his courage.

ego comes back after three hundred teenagers practically break the gate to run inside. anri notices and grabs a uniform reserved on a high shelf.

" [m/n]-san, please head to the room indicated by your uniforms letter, change into your uniform and stand by. "

the uniform read 295, and 'Z'. they made up this fake rank so that it would not be too easy for you.

little do they know, the ranks heavily matter to you and you were going to do anything to get higher.

you changed into the weird ass uniform and quickly moved to the room. you also made sure to wear a mask.

the first thing you catch up with is a  person with uneven bangs sleeping on the floor. the first selection was going to begin, is no one going to wake him up?

you observe again and there's a naked guy with admirable biceps, some npcs loudly declaring their biography... and oh! chigiri hyoma! the jewel of Japan!and also the average looking guy who ran up to the gate first. both of them were engaged in conversation. you did not walk up to them yet, and observed the room shape.

the width of the room is 16.5 meters and the length is 40.32... the same size as a penalty area. the place you are most familiar with. about 75 percent of goals happen there and it's declared a "strikers workplace".

what would ego make you people do? score a goal in this space and make you fight over the ball for a specific time? you look around for a sign of goalpost but efforts are in vain.

you decide it isn't going to matter anyway and look for someone to make a conversation. but when you're back to consciousness you realize everyone is ...staring at you.

it's a nostalgic feeling...?

damn, what did I do now? did they maybe recognize me? I'm pretty basic, aren't I? this mask is covering me too?!

"ehm, excuse me. guy with the mask?" the muscly guy with spiked orange hair of earlier speaks up. "you've been standing at the door for a while now. what's up?"

oh. so that's what it is. there's suddenly a eerie silence in the room full of bustling boys.

"this rooms architecture is pretty cool, I know. but you should get in now, the ego jinpachi guy is going to start testing us now!" kira smiles and walks up to you.

wow, this boy is beautiful up close. no wonder my sister liked him. you sighed. it's been years since you've conversed with someone, you awkwardly smile and walk up to the rest of them.

DAMN. where did the god striker go?! where is his confidence and charisma?! I am literally the best person here... I am not a awkward guy staring at the wall WHAT THE FUCK! you do not realize you're blankly staring at the average guys' face.

"hello...? mask guy are you okay?" the guy awkwardly scratches his cheek and taps you on your arm.

"huh? oh I'm the go- I mean I'm daisuke." phew, you almost slipped up. daisuke is the name ego and anri fixed for you.

"...is that so? i'm... isagi yoichi."
this isagi guy has become so conceited because he just had a main character moment. what a show off! he does not know I'm the god striker. what till i show him! I'll destroy kira in front you!! you grin to yourself.

the igaguri guy who was babbling non stop came up to you to say something about your mask and physique but was interrupted rudely by ego.

"have you changed, unpolished gems?"

ego then proceeded to rant about Blue locks system. "those who fail blue lock lose the right to represent Japan forever." he suddenly announces. you feel thrilled. so it actually isn't like every other facility ever. people will put their life on the line seriously.
the look on the others face thrills you.

ego then announces a game of tag.
the time limit is one hundred and thirty six seconds. who has the ball, meaning whoever is 'it' will be disqualified. fun! you again grin to yourself.

it lands on igarashi dude as he's the lowest ranked. he's already desperate to make isagi, the one that is ranked one level higher than him, have the ball. you observe his dribbling skills, they disappoint horribly. this dude can't play for fuck's sake. kudos to the "never give up, never give in" mentality though.

aw man, if this continues there will be no fun.  you think if you should steal the ball and hit random people, until igarashi reaches the sleeping dude.

ayo, should we wake him up?

the next few seconds everything happened so fast you rubbed your eyes to make sure they were not lagging. the blunt bangs dude sprung up so fast and skillfully dodged the ball with a kickup to the face. a scene straight from a martial arts movie!

you give him a thumbs up but he does not see it.
"mornin'..." he rubs his eyes and looks around innocently like he didn't explode someone's nose.

"if this was a game, it'd be a red card!"

whoever said that is right, but it's not a game. you're very impressed by him but silently tried not to applaud to preserve your ego.

this escalated a storm and spiky hair got hit because he was open. he seemed like a tough opponent so you threw yourself in front of him to become it. everyone felt humbled and kind of relieved.

"daisuke! why would you do that?!" isagi yelled. damn kid, why are you concerned about someone else?

and so you kicked the ball targeted at isagi and it fumbled towards him so swift his eyes almost gauged out of his sockets. deserved! hope this will teach you to be selfish isagi yoichi.

it happened so quick people did not get a chance to react. the kick was a beautiful straight line. people were flabbergasted and cautiously stepped away from you. bachira looked over at you with a grin and you pretended not to notice.

isagi picked himself up and looked for other possible candidates. the next few minutes were none of your business. you just wanted to test your abilities again. hopefully you did not reveal more than intended.

kira ryosuke got eliminated in an ugly manner by the newly awakened egoist, you were disappointed cause he was pretty decent. no matter, now there's one more.
