020.

In the cafeteria.....

"You look funny as hell, you know that?" You pointed out while looking at Rin.

"Shuddup." He slightly glare at you.

"You were definitely cuter when you were a kid. Really hope that depressed 'I wanna die' teenager emo stage of yours won't last forever, or else you will for real die single." You rambled out, earning an irk mark from the male.

"You should honestly do more eye ca-" Before he could finish, a fork flew pass him, just barely missing his neck.

"This is.... honestly impressive..." Reo sweat dropped when he saw the fork on the floor, curvy and unable to be used again.

"Oops, my hand slipped. Sorry, what were you saying?" You placed your hand in front of your mouth, showing just how 'shock' you are.

Your acting is honestly convincing if it weren't for the amount of people who witnessed what you just did.

"Nothing..." Rin got back to eating his food while keeping a calm demeanour, he really doesn't want to die right there right now.

"Woah, Rin actually backed off...!" Bachira's eyes brighten up.

"Saw it coming to be honest..." Karasu said.

"Girls are scary..." Nagi commented.

'Note to self, never provoke L/N...' Isagi thought, genuinely concerned and pitying Rin.

Third Selection Central Room....

You and several other players have been waiting for what felt to be years untik a door slide open, revealing the one and only Ego Jinpachi.

"Good work out there, you unpolished gems... I believe this makes it the second time that we're meeting directly? Greetings." Ego started off with.

"Damn.... I thought he was ugly at first.... But now that I've seen him closer in person...." You spoke out while Rin took a glance at you, wondering where you're going with that. His face also shows visible disgust, concern about the bad taste you have for guys.

"He looks much more uglier than I anticipated...." You muttered out as a wave of relieve hit Rin.

"For starters, I'll reiterate. Football is a sport where you score goals. 'Goals' are the entire reason a striker exist."

"That's why the third selection's tryouts... I decided to form a team centered around the one with the highest goal rate."

'Huh? You did?' You don't remember yourself scoring much in this whole Blue Lock Project thing, but you won't complain.

"Steel your hearts, and listen hard. I'm about to announce the eleven players who will play against Japan's U-20." Ego said, causing most to be nervous and tensed.

"First, the number one player. Itoshi Rin. With an average of 2.5 goals per match. This team will be centered around you. In a aggressive offence oriented formation."

"The type of team that might suffer 5 goals, but win by scoring 6. This is the only way a Blue Lock Team made up of strikers can win."

"Destruction begets destruction. You will lead the team embodying this theme."

"Seems like you're the lousy main character, Rin." You chuckle.

"Then you're a useless side cast to me." Rin replied with causing an irk mark to form on your face.

"And the following ten players whose names I will call, will become the ammo to escalate that destruction."

"First, the goal keeper. Gagamaru Gin."

"With the ability to react to ball at an instant notice, and overall flexibility, your physical attribute numbers make you the top candidate for goalkeeper. You will be this team's guardian."

"Next, the two center backs..."

"Aryu Jyubei."

"A right sided center back that can overwhelm players with height and reach. And...."

"L/N Y/N."

'Huh?' You snapped out of your trance.

You don't mind being in defence. It basically means that you have more time to rest and not waste your energy immediately by attacking all the time.

"A left sided center back that have immediate reaction speed, high awareness of surroundings, and ball stealing ability."

"That is." Ego continued.

"If they don't slack off and decides to sleep in the middle of the match." Ego's facial expression darkens real quick, quietly threatening you that something bad will happen if you don't do your absolute best.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll try." You avoided eye contact with the man, knowing that's he's angry- No, pissed to be exact.

Every single god damn time Ego observe you through the cameras, he would either find you sleeping like a log, visibly and obviously not doing your best, or complaining about you being tired. And he had enough of these bullshits.

Those who haven't seen you play yet are quite shock to hear that you sleep in the middle of a match. While for those who have...... You're practically just like Nagi at this point. Well, you aren't as lazy as Nagi, that's something.

"And on either side of those center backs, we'll have dribbles that boast speed and technique..."

"For the right side back, Chigiri Hyoma."

"And left side back, Bachira Meguru."

"Moving on ahead of these four in the defense line, the midfielder who will transition to our offence..."

"Karasu Tabito."

"As the player with the best ball keeping sense in Blue Lock, with your analytical ability to see through goals, you will be the beating heart of this team."

"From here on out, I'll announce the attackers. First, the ones who will tear the enemy's walls from either side, the wings..."

"Otoya Eita."

"Yukimiya Kenyu."

"The right wing with the speed and stealth to get behind their opponent, and the left wing with the ability to overwhelm any opponent in a 1 on 1."

"And finally, in between. At the heart of the offence will be these last two players..."

"First, the player who with his superior ball control, scored goals that went above and beyond the feasible. A brilliant and putstanding talent."

"Nagi Seishiro."

"I repeat, with Itoshi Rin at its center, this team's formation specialises in aggressive offence."

"Meaning, it needs to be able to maximise Itoshi Rin's performance."

"Among all the players who interacted with him, the one who was able to bring out the best numbers, who repeatedly coexisted and asserted himself as Itoshi Rin's shadow, and still had the talent to surpass and score their own goal...."

"As the ideal partner to Itoshi Rin, the last piece is you..."

"Isagi Yoichi."

'All these dramatic sentences for what? Dramatic affect?....' You boredly watch everyone's reaction, preferring if Ego got straight to the point instead.

"These are the top 11 who will face the U-20 Japan Team."

'Things would've been done a long time ago if you throw out all the bullshits, old geezer.' Your eyebrows twitched.
