"I have a question, Ego-san. Why is Shidou-kun not one of the members?" Yukimiya raised his hand up.

'I doubt that lap cat will do any good being in the same team as this sad emo.' You took a glance at Rin who look annoyed by the question.

"He scored plenty of goals, and he's the No.2, is he not?" Yukimiya continued.

'Now that I think about it. It's funnily depressing that a No.2 like me is playing in defence. Eh, whatever.' You shrug it off.

"Yes. Excellent question." Ego spoke out.

'It's pretty stupid if you ask me. The answer is too obvious. He quite literally do everything on his own.' You thought.

"Shidou Ryusei had an average of 2 goals per match during the tryouts. Demonstrating the makings of a striker second only to Itoshi Rin."

"His behaviour outside of matches cannot be overlooked. But it is also true that his physical abilities are extremely high."

"However, the goals that he scored were a product of his own skill. In other words, during the tryouts, Shidou Ryusei was unable to spark a chemical reaction even once with Itoshi Rin."

"And given that flagrant display of violence at the end of the match... If he were to do such a thing during the U-20 match, he'd get a red card, putting our team at an overwhelming disadvantage..."

"So for those very reasons... I made the decision that Itoshi Rin and Shidou Ryusei should not stand on the same pitch."

"And above all, only one of you are able to handle the egoist Shidou Ryusei."

"As I said earlier, all of Shidou Ryusei's goals were scored on his merit alone."

"Except."

"L/N Y/N."

Eyes immediately went to you when Ego said that, making you uncomfortable.

"Someone who could understand his thoughts and raise his level of his play..."

"Out of everyone in Blue Lock, only YOU have managed to do it." Ego look straight into your soul.

'Do you have to make shit so dramatic that it's awkward!?' You eternally scream quietly.

"But it would be a waste to not make use of his abilities." Yukimiya said.

"Indeed. That's why, if this team were to find themselves in a pinch, he'd be a joker that would replace Itoshi Rin."

"As a powerful drug that could completely reverse the flow of the game, his job would be to switch with Itoshi Rin in time of need."

"At the same time..."

"The heart of the offence..." Ego said earning Nagi and Isagi's attention.

"As L/N can maximise Shidou Ryusei's plays, she will switch with you...."

"Isagi Yoichi."

"Yes...!" Isagi flinch and answered even when he doesn't have to.

"I see...." Yukimiya said.

"At least, that was the plan..."

That one sentence made you curious on what he meant by that.

"But right after I'd finalised the roster, I got a call."

'Okay... I'm up for some fairytale so keep going...'

"It was from Buratsuta, the president of the JFU."

'Bu what now-?'

"He said that Itoshi Sae was dissatisfied with the forwards in Japan's U-20."

You took a glance at Rin when Sae is mentioned, and oh boy did he got dramatic.

"If we don't accept Itoshi Sae's conditions, he would refuse to play, and the match itself would have to be cancelled."

"In which event, Buratsuta threatened to simply go ahead and shut down Blue Lock."

"And the conditions he had was that Itoshi Sae got to pick one person from Blue Lock to add to the U-20 Team."

'.....I ain't even going to question what the fucking hell that famous piece of turd shit was thinking.'

"Itoshi Sae chose not any of you here. But Shidou Ryusei instead."

'Well, I would've told him to fuck off if he chose me...' You can imagine a poorly drawn Sae being kick out of Blue Lock by you personally.

"Well, at any rate, this team was always going to center around Itoshi Rin or Shidou Ryusei."

"In my head, these were the only two viable options for Team Blue Lock."

"Itoshi Rin's playstyle involves his surroundings and synergies with them."

"Where at present, Shidou Ryusei will only link up with L/N Y/N who managed to tame him. His play style is self sufficient without L/N."

"They may both have an individualistic pressed to choose between those two different egoisms...."

"I chose Itoshi Rin, and Itoshi Sae chose Shidou Ryusei. As for which one of us chose correctly.... That will be determined in 15 days, infront of the entirety of Japan."

"Additionally, including those on the bench, the team can register 23 players."

"In the remaining 12 players have not yet been set in stone. Those of you who didn't make it this round, show what you can do and seize a spot on the bench."

"That marks the end of the regulars announcement."

"If you lose this battle, Blue Lock will be dismantled, and your future will be crushed along with it."

'Pretty sure I can still have a high paying job after this. I don't care about the others, but my future is perfectly fine if we lose, or win. It's just one of them being more annoying to deal with than the other.' You thought.

You also considered your pride on the line, so you might as well block off every shot Sae makes. And yes, you will specifically target him to annoy the living hell out of the guy.

"We have 15 days left. In that remaining time, in order to whip into shape a battalion to pulverised the Japan U-20 Team."

"Venture forth with the resolve to risk it all, you unpolished gems. There is no longer any room for failure."

'Is it just me or does this old geezer look rather..... Nevermind, I'm going insane.'

"Hmph. How lukewarm of you, four eyes. To me, this match is just another stepping stone for becoming the best in the worl-"

"Cringe~ Boo~" You pushed Rin's head down.

"Y/N- You-"

"Haha! Only you could do that to Rin, L/N." Bachira laughed.

"But what he said just now wasn't wrong... I've been all in with my life since the moment I set foot in here." He added.

"For real. I'm no idiot who'd back out when I'm this far in." Karasu grinned.

"Honestly it's pretty hype." Otoya commented.

"I'm looking forward to it." Yukimiya said.

"Yeah, I wanna play already." Nagi spoke.

"Excellent show of egoism, Blue Lock's Eleven. We will now commence your last training camp." Ego started to grin like the psychopath he is.

'I'm starting to wonder if Blue Lock is just full of emo and depressed teenagers....... and a crazy old geezer.... I swear only me and Anri-san are normal here.' You sweat dropped.
