The whistle rang and the cheers grew louder as the players began advancing. Team Blue Lock was to start with the ball and Rin passed it to Isagi at the signal to start.
'I gotta see how they're going to advance...All I know is that Rin is what the team revolves around. Still, everyone else is free to do what they want. Egoism is what Blue Lock's all about.' Y/n thought, slightly squinting his eyes
He watched as Rin, Isagi, and Nagi advanced forward in a triangular formation. As he ran to intercept a pass, he hummed in surprise as Chigiri appeared, cutting him off.
"They've raised their numbers." Niou pointed out from his spot, having watched as Bachira and Chigiri moved up from their spots.
Aiku was silent as he stared at the approachers.
"Hm. So you went from a 4-5-1 formation to a 3-6-1, huh." Y/n spoke as he tailed Chigiri.
"Huh..." Chigiri furrowed his brows, glancing at him.
'It didn't take him long to notice...'
The holder of the ball, Isagi, came face-to-face with Sendo, so in order to not get the ball stolen, he passed it to his right into the control of Bachira.
"Firing off." Bachira grinned.
"Whoa, whoa. You coming kid?" One of the opponents appeared.
Japan U20
Midfielder
Hayate Haru
"Got an issue with that?" Bachira joked.
Then, an intense aura seemed to surround him as he performed fast scissors, Hayate slightly humming in surprise.
"Here I go!" Bachira stuck his tongue out as Hayate closed in on him.
In an instant, he did an "aerial rush turn", effectively getting past. That prompted not very happy yells from the crowd who was rooting for Japan's U20.
Y/n's brows slightly raised as he watched Bachira run before looking over to Isagi who got past the defenders, almost unnoticed. Keyword, "almost", since Y/n did notice.
"You're obviously not getting the ball now." Y/n exhaled as he glanced at Chigiri.
"What?" Chigiri spoke, slightly frowning.
Then, he slightly gaped as Y/n sprinted past him, heading towards Bachira. Bachira seemed to be unaware of this and only stared at Neru who stood ahead of him in a defensive stance.
'The only one linking up perfectly to my best moves is...!' Bachira thought, a grin stretching on his lips.
"I knew it'd be you, Isagi." He sang.
When he got into position to kick and raised the ball a bit, he slightly gasped in surprise as someone also hit the ball, making it go higher than planned.
"Y/n...?" He muttered, glancing at the boy.
"Bachira." Y/n winked.
'Y/n slightly messed up the course of the ball, but I can still get it! Bachira and I still broke through. I'm the one who believes in his dribbles the most. I can do this! Our football can break through even the U20 Team!' Isagi thought as he followed the descending ball.
"Ka-ching." Y/n said, watching as Aiku jumped, blocking off Isagi who reached for the ball.
"Wha-?!" Isagi gaped.
'For real?! Why is he here?!'
"No way...He could reach that...?" Bachira muttered.
Aiku head-butted the ball, keeping it away from the net as it bounced out of bounds.
