"I will devour you"

Chapter 2

Isagi's POV:

"That's enough diamonds in the rough, it would be a shame to kick you out so soon. Don't worry about people who didn't make it this far, remember your soccer career is on the line. You all played against World Five but I will share the purpose of that match later. For now, a lot has happened and there's been a change in plans. The bigwigs behind Japanese Soccer have convinced themselves that Blue Lock proposes a threat and must be shut down. So naturally I decided they need to be challenged. The next selection takes place 3 weeks from now and the future of blue lock is riding on it and is in your hands. A special match of Japan's U-20 Team will be going head to head with Blue Lock's Eleven. It gets even better, if we win the match we will hijack Japan's U-20 team. - Ego

"Wait hijack?" - Gagamaru

"Wait, hold up, you seriously mean we can be playing for them?" - Raichi

"As soon as they heard my proposal, they snickered and readily agreed to the match. Their real motive is to cancel the Blue Lock Project and use this showdown for exposure and money. However, if we lose, we will be a laughing stock and go down in history. Based on what you heard, how do you feel? Frustrated at being taken so lightly? Burning with fury? Ready to shock them back into reality? You are ready to overthrow Japanese Soccer itself. That being said, there also going to go all out for the win so they made a little change of their own and added one more player to the team. Itoshi Sae, It's time to put everything on the line. All 35 of you have discovered your ego, master your weapons, created a chemical reaction, and seen what the top players can do. Landing a team on Japan's U-20 team is no longer a dream but a reality that you can reach out and grab. You are ready my diamonds in the rough, together at Blue Lock we will create a new era." - Ego

"The match will take place in three weeks led by Itoshi Sae. Victory will grant you a position in Japan's U-20 National Team and defeat will mean that Blue Lock will shut down. Let's go you unpolished gems, the ones to change Japan's football will be Blue Lock."

A match to determine the Japanese National U-20 Team.

Not too long ago, I was nobody but now If I can win here, I will join the National U-20 Team.

I can change my life with this match

"Wait hold on, I get this is a chance for us and all but how are you going to determine the players? " - Raichi

"Don't tell me, your gonna have some of us play midfielders and defenders?" - Gagamaru

"Of course and we also have a goalkeeper too. Other than the forwards, we'll have to rush to patch together a team." - Ego

"That's...JUST TOO MUCH!! Our opponents will have actual defenders, right?" - Tokimitsu

"This predicament..., I do not hate such development." - Aryu

"Shut your mouths, I am not a moran you idiots." - Ego

"For the Formation of the Blue Lock Team will center around the following six names I will call out now. Given your overall evaluation as of this moment, These individuals rank as the "Top 6. To put together a team in just three short weeks, this method will be our best shot. Those who are called stepped forward" - Ego

"First as the overall No.1, Itoshi Rin." - Ego

Rin

I knew it! He's number 1 after all I thought. As I was scanning the room, my eyes met with Rin's. My face started to burn and the blush on my cheeks was visible. I look away instantly, turning my head towards the screen instead.

Gosh, why are his eyes so mesmerizing?

Those beautiful teal eyes

The things I would do for those eyes to pierce into mine
