"I will devour you"

Chapter 3

Isagi's Pov:

"The deadline for voting passed. The last stage of the 3rd Selection will begin soon. Please wear your uniforms and promptly gather up" - Intercom

Last Stage - Gathering Area

It's time for the last stage before the match against the Japanese U-20. The "tryouts" for a position in Blue Lock's Eleven. I've chosen Team A which has Rin and Shidou, I have to find a way to prove my worth playing among them. I have to give my all in this match.

"And now, after counting the total of votes. Taking into account the first and second choices, we'll be announcing how players were sorted into each team." - Intercom

Bachira picked Team A like me. Reo. I knew you would pick Team C. In the end, you chose to be with Nagi. I'm glad your not running away Reo.

"There will be 5 matches in total as shown here. Bachira Meguru will take part in the last match as a member of team C. There will be a six-hour break between each match. For the sake of fairness, watching the other matches will be prohibited. Let us move on to the first match, A Vs B. We will now randomly select three members for each team. First on the team will be Nanase Nijirou." - Intercom

"Gotcha" - Nanase

"Second is Hiori You" - Intercom

"...I'm up?" - Hiori

"And third on team A, is Isagi Yoichi." - Intercom

"Oh Okay!!" - Isagi

That caught me off guard, I thought I would play later. I am already in the first match.

"And now their opponents, Team B. We'll roll again. First, Shiguma Kyouhei!! Second, Saramara Kairu!!" - Intercom

"Whoa, they all look strong." - Raichi

Yeah, no shit. They all look strong.

"And third, Chigiri Hyouma!!" - Intercom

"Alright." - Chigiri

For real?! It's going to be rough against Chigiri.

"A well-known opponent." - Bachira

"Now, those chosen for Teams A and B. Wear your respective bibs and move on to the entrance gate." - Intercom

Calm down.

It doesn't matter who I'm up against!

As long as I concentrate on proving my worth on this team!

I will finally get to you again Rin.

"Hm...I'm fluttering." - Nanase

"Eh?" - Isagi

"If we do well here, we can play against' the U-20...Really feels like the time 'as come!" - Nanase

This dude...is having fun?

"You're "fluttering"...?" - Isagi

"Ah Sorry! Where I'm from, that means I'm excited! I may spit out those things and the like, but pay it no min! I'm Nanase, A first-year!" - Nanase

"Ah. I'm Isagi...Nice to meet you. I'm a second year." - Isagi

"Then your my senpai, Isagi-San! I'mma do my best to not bring you down, okay?!" - Nanase

"Oh...Sure." - Isagi

Huh. This feels sorta...new to me. Ah...I know why. It's because I have always been surrounded by brutes. "I'll kill you chimp." Rin would say while Barou would say "You're fucking dead." and oh, don't even get me started Ego with him always telling me to "Fuck off." A straight-laced guy like him must have been like an endangered species here in Blue Lock.
