Blue lock × Female OC/Book 1

#3'|The jouney begins|'

RECAP

Bachira takes on Kira aggressively, both with the ball and physically. Kira manages to dodge and runs towards Isagi with a smile. Bachira kicks the ball to Isagi while Kira is on his way.

"BOOM!!" - Bachira

Isagi kicks the ball to hit Kira just as the time runs out after 2 seconds.

END OF RECAP.

"Isagi, hey..." - Kira

"I'm s-s-sorry...I mean...the ball...it came too fast" - Isagi muttered...

"What...the actual hell?!" - Kira.

"Good work, my talented individuals. He is the one who will be leaving...RYOSUKE KIRA, YOU ARE EXPELLED.

"What?! Me?!...HOW AM I BEING KICKED OUT BASED ON A GAME THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FOOTBALL?!" - Kira

"Everything here at Bluelock is related to football. Take a good look at your surroundings. The room's dimensions are exactly 16.5×40.32, which is the same as a penalty area. About 75% of goals are scored in this small area. It's the domain of a striker. The positioning skills of a striker in this space mean everything." - Ego

I started to understand everything he was saying...

"So that means you are testing our abilities to control the ball, as well as pass and receive it in the penalty zone." - Me

"Exactly. Those who cannot survive under such conditions can hardly be qualified as talented strikers." - Ego

"SO WHAT?! SURE, THE ROOM'S WIDTH IS THE SAME, BUT TAG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FOOTBALL!!" - Kira

"Oh really? In case you didn't notice, the skill required by the fleeing side is tactical awareness, or positioning. As for the pursuer, they need not only accurate dribbling but also the ability to make a shot that hits their target. It's optimal football training." - Ego

"...that's...that's...HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO KNOW ALL THAT IN JUST 2 MINUTES?! A GAME OF FOOTBALL LASTS MORE THAN 90!!!" - Kira

"The average time a player is in possession of the ball during a match is approximately 136 seconds. You were given the exact same opportunity you would have had in a real game." - Ego

"Then what did you expect me to do in just 10 seconds?" - Kira

"Is that what you would say if this was a match?" - Ego

Kira froze at Ego's statement.

"Remember, from the time the ball hit you until the clock ran out, you had about a second and a half left. Within that time, you could have survived if you shot the ball at the injured Igaguri... and yet you wasted that chance." - Kira

"Isagi Yoichi ignored the chance to tag the injured Igaguri and chose to defeat someone higher ranked than him, along with Meguru Bachira, with the initiative to aim at the strongest player. And last but not least... Yo Shindo, who took the risk of losing but had the tenacity and courage to pursue his own will. They are perfect examples of people who prioritize their own goals over the team's. That is the egoism I was looking for. And that is why this is your loss." - Ego

Everybody gulped.

"Now, Ryosoke Kira... LOCK OFF." - Ego

Kira starts stomping out of the room, then stops at the door when he looks back and meets your eyes.

"I never thought you, of all people, would still be standing here." - Kira

"Huh?" - I gasped in confusion.

"But you'll likely be out soon enough." He smirks. "I'll meet you soon... AYOSHI..." - Kira

I gasped in shock. How the hell did he know my last name?!

He walked out as the door closed behind him. I had to get answers, but if I followed him, everyone would just ask questions when I got back.

THIRD POINT OF VIEW POV

Everyone looked at you as you stared at your feet, hyperventilating. 'What if he somehow got in contact with Ego? What if he said something? Your time at Blue Lock would be over.' You noticed Ego looking at you through the screen, as if waiting for you to do something. You clenched your fist and gritted your teeth...

"You have 5 minutes." - Ego

You wondered how he knew that you were thinking about going out and immediately dashed outside. You ran as fast as you could, fearing that you saw him at the end of the hall, about to step out.

"Ryosuke Kira!!!" - You yelled as you caught up to him and pinned him to the wall, looking at him with questioning eyes.

"How did you..." - You paused, trying to figure out how to ask the question.

"How do you know who I am?" - He said, looking at you and meeting your eyes. "Isagi is an idiot. That's why he didn't have the slightest idea that you're stealing someone's identity. They're going to find out sooner or later... Yuri." - Kira

"Just tell me how you know." - You

"Fine... 1. Your voice, 2. Your size. You're fit but don't have the physique of a boy. 3. I and Yo are really good friends."

Your eyes widened as you heard him.

"He's been talking about coming to Blue Lock, but he said he can't because of 'reasons'. It must have been his teammates, but regardless, I hope you don't last here for long." - Kira

"That still doesn't explain how you know me!" - You

"He talked about you. He kept going on and on about how he wanted to ask you out without his friends finding out. Wait till he finds out that the girl of his dreams stole his golden opportunity." He said, releasing himself from your grip and starting to walk out.

He stopped and looked at you. "Oh yeah, also, I'll try my best to see that you're exposed. Just because you're my friend's crush or because I think you're cute, doesn't mean a girl should be playing football. I'll make sure that I see you soon. Bye, Yuri..." He said, walking out as the door closed behind him.

You sighed as you walked back to the training room. Everyone looked at you, confused, as you walked in... while Isagi also had a confused and rather worried expression on his face.

"Hey, Yo... you-" He gets interrupted when Ego begins to speak.

"Congratulations, you have all successfully passed Blue Lock's entrance test. This room was made for no more than 11 people. You all will collaborate together. You are the fated Eleven. You may cooperate with and also betray each other. You, and the rivals you will have to trample... are Blue Lock's Team Z!" - Ego.
