027.

It's the day....

You're finally returning to Blue Lock.

You're finally out of that boring hell.

You got so excited to be back in prison that you arrived a little too early.

'No one is here yet...' You look around before immediately hiding in a corner to rest a bit.

You have no plans to stand up for who knows how long until Ego shows up.

Maybe taking a nap right now will be a good choice to waste some time.

-

"......"

You can't sleep.

Your eyes are wide open.

The noises the people are making aren't making it any better.

"Did you all enjoy the holiday?"

You have never been happier hearing Ego's voice.

"Hello there, you diamonds in the rough."

"As you might know, I now hold the power to decide every member of Japan's U-20 Team."

"And since I figured that even the losers might have their uses... I've decided that the new U-20 will be formed from the members I've gathered here."

"There's 100 days left before the U-20 World Cup starts."

"If you guys were to take part as you are... Let's see..."

"Victory is simply impossible."

"This next stage will show you that, but putting it aside. 'Strike the iron while it's hot'. I came up with a method to allow all of you to evolve at a rapid pace."

"Here's a question. What was the 'cause' of you guys getting stronger?"

"Awakening your ego. Becoming aware of your innate weapons. The reason that happened to each of you is without a doubt this environment. This special and cruel enclosed space called 'Blue Lock'."

"And to rise to greater heights, a new environment will be needed. And thus, I've decided to throw you guys at the hottest hellfire that exists."

"In Blue Lock's Phase Two, you all will be thrown in the peak of the world. Europe's big five leagues."

'And how much money will that cost? The thought of it scares me...' You sweat dropped.

"Popularity. Ability. Money. These European pro football leagues are at the peak of all these things."

"Among these five countries, each of you is going to choose which environment you want to sharpen yourselves in."

"For reference, I'll give my biased judgement regarding each league."

"First, England. A league characterised by speed and physical battles. Where the goals are stolen by the law of physical prowess. Wee call it entertainment focused, as it makes you hold your breath every time.

"Next is Spain. A league where technique and creativity are desired. Their citizens won't get satisfied just by seeing goals. It's a place that gathers footballers who want to express creativity and playfulness."

"Next is Italy. A league that favors slyness and tactics. They hold history in being able to win 1-0 while holding their defense. A playstyle that fuses individual strength with robust team organisation was born here."

"Next is France. This league is acting as a gateway to success for newcomers and young players. In recent years, their market has received a grand lot of investment, so the money flows constantly. They're currently in a great spot to become the greatest league in the world."
