Chapter 11

"The formation of the Blue Lock team will center around the following six whose names I will call out now. Given your overall evaluation as of this moment, these individuals rank as the "top 6."

"Those who are called, please step up."

"1. Itoshi Rin."

"2. Shidou Ryusei"

"3. Karasu Tabito."

"4. Otoya Eita."

"5. Yukimiya Kenyu."

"6. Nagi Seishiro."

"Excuse me, Ego-san. Thinking about what happened, I have a simple question for you." A pretty boy with glasses says. "What is your reason for putting me in 5th place? What's the difference between me and the 1st?"

"It's simple." Ego replies, "Among the 35 of you, these players:  Itoshi Rin, Ryusei Shidou and a player whose name I will not reveal were able to score goals against the World Five."

"Why not put the 'mysterious player' in first, second, or third?" He asks, "I mean, they scored a goal against the World 5, why not let them be recognized?" The model asked.

"Because they're far too advanced compared to you, unpolished gems." Ego glared from above, "That's why I won't reveal their name. Any team with them apart of will guarantee that teams victory."

"I understand now. Thank you!" Yukimiya replied with a closed eye smile.

"Now then, I'll explain your next selection. First, the top 6 will separate to two pairs in descending order."

"The remaining 29 will have the option to pick which team they would like to be in. Each team will have 9 players. But, one player will have to play twice, and that person will be... Y/n L/n. The only girl and the weakest among all."

"Top 6, please proceed to another room." A door in the right opens, as you watch them leave into another room.

. . .

Final sorting of the players each team:

Team A - Rin, Ryusei
Y/n, Kiyora, Nanase, Aryu, Ishikari, Bachira, Haichi, Igarashi, Kurona, Isagi, Nishioka, Hiori, Tokimitsu.

Matches in order:

1. A vs B
2. A vs C
3. B vs C
4. A vs B
5. A vs C

"Let us move on to the first match, A vs B. We will now randomly choose 3 players for each team." The voice echoes, "For team A, Nanase, Hiori and Y/n."

"Team B, Chigiri, Saramadara and Shiguma." They say, "Please enter the stadium. That is all, and good luck."

. . .

You walk to the stadium with your new Teammates, and you couldn't help but feel how comfortable the awkwardness was. There was no shouting.. no cursing... oh, it was a complete bliss.

"...I'm fluttering." A boy with light purple eyes smiled brightly. You tilt your head slightly, confused by the term, "..fluttering?" You ask.

"Ah, sorry." He blushes in embarrassment, "Where I'm from, that means excited!" He smiles innocently. "I'm nanase. 3rd year!" He greets. "I'm Y/n, 4th year. You can call me N/n." You reciprocate his smile as his face turns to an ever redder hue. You notice hiori was... pretty shocked when he heard your nickname. I wonder why..?
