At Blue Lock: All that matters is scoring. If you get the ball, you better score it yourself.
Now what would happen if a Midfielder with barely any experience who never looked to score in an actual game found himself in that place?
An Awakening
Ryu laughed after hearing an explanation from Bachira.
Ryu: Man I don't know if you're naive or plain stupid!!
Isagi: -_- Can you just let me ask-
Azure: But to be fair, thinking that you were going to win against all of us wasn't TOO impossible. Just not probable. If would've literally put my life on the line to get the ball if you got that possession. But, Rin's lucky positioning saved it.
Isagi was about to speak again, before looking at Azure.
Isagi: Luck?
Azure: I know what you're thinking. "There's no way that it was just simple luck that I was missing to beat them." Right?
Isagi: I... Well-
Azure: And THAT shows why you're not in the top three.
Rin: Luck doesn't boil down to simple coincidence. It's the hidden element that favors only those who choose to act on desire. And if that's beyond your understanding, you have no right to live in the world of victory and defeat.
Ryu: To dumb it down for you, Rin positioned himself in a play to score and just let luck do the rest of the work. You've just gotta make your own. Think of it as getting randomly jumped. You're walking down a dark alley at night, and you see some pretty shady looking guys looking at you funny. See if your dumbass didn't go in that alley it couldn't exactly be called bad luck.
Azure: Violent analogy, but accurate.
Ryu: You make your own luck by taking note of your surroundings, plus knowing what decisions to make. If you still happened to get attacked, then I guess you could call that bad luck.
???: Well there goes half the lesson I was gonna teach.
They heard Ego's voice, as realizing what he meant, Ryu smirked.
Ryu: I finally fucked something up in one of your schemes you plotting asshole!!
TIME SKIP!!
24 hours later, the First 5 to get to the 3rd Selection had all adorned blue jerseys. Before on the pitch before even they were, were presumably some of the top Strikers in the world.
Ryu: 'Just like he said.'

TEAM WORLD FIVE!!
Ryu: ... I don't know why, but I DO NOT like that Luna guy.
The members of the team began to speak in English, confusing both Isagi and Bachira.
Silva: Damn, most of them are scrawnier than I thought!!
Adam: See? The Japanese aren't known to be muscular at all. Those two are probably mixed. Now pay up that 10 Grand you owe me. You lost the bet.
