𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊: 𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐊𝐄𝐑

U-20

3rd PERSON POV

A total of 7 teams managed to pass the selection, leaving 35 players. . . 34 now. Just then the first team that passed walked through the door.

1st Team: Zeijre - Hiori - Niko - Saramadara

Niko: "I wonder who passed from our stratum."
Zeijre: "I could care less, they're shitty anyway."

Of course they were missing their 5th player, Kiyoshi. Next the second team to pass walked into the room.

2nd Team: Rin - Aryu - Tokimasu - Bachira - Isagi

Tokimasu: "Its kind of nerve racking. I wonder what kind of members will have made of here."
Aryu: "All that's certain is the weaklings have been wiped out."
Everyone from the 2nd team looked at the 1st team.
Isagi: Where's there 5th member?
Bachira: "Hey, they only have 4 members."
Tokimasu: "Thoss guys must be scary."
Rin: "Izumi was on your team right?"
Hiori: "Yup, he dropped out mid match."
Isagi: "Seriously?"
Zeijre: "Yup"
Third team please enter
Just like that they entered the room

3rd Team: Nagi - Baro - Chigiri - Zantetsu - Kiyora

Hiori: "Zantetsu actually manages to pass."
Zeijre: "Surprisingly."
The 3rd team shared a moment with the 2nd team, conversing with each other.
Next Team

4th Team: Karasu - Otoya - Yukimiya - Himizu - Yuzu

Each team continued to enter one after the next.

5th Team: Nanase - Tsunzaki - Hiiragi - Endoji - Haiji

6th Team: Raichi - Gagamaru - Shiguma - Tanaka - Nishioka

7th Team: Shidou - Igarashi - Reo - Sokura - Kurona

There was a bit of conflict with the last team not having someone that was expected to pass. A fight even almost breaking out. But Ego came on the screen stopping the fight.
Ego: "Enough you Unpolished Gems. Any further violence and I'll have you forceable ejected. And none of you have time to be worrying about any dropouts. . . Besides one."
Everyone was focused on the last part especially the first and second team.
Ego: "If you havent noticed the 1st Team doesnt have 5 players. One of them left during a match after having some problems."
Everyone expected someone to be revealed once again.
Ego: "He's gone, so throw all dropouts out the back of your mind."
Everyone's moral from the 1st Team was immediately lowered.
Hiori: "Here I thought he was back."
Zeijre: "Who cares, he left on his own accord."
Ego: "Now to discuss the problem at hand"
Everyone focused back on Ego.
Ego: "Your football careers are in the oblivion of being trashed alongside Blue lock."
Everyone was eager to know what he was talking about.
Ego: "But before that, good work. Your defeat in the match against the World Selects was inevitable, was it not? I'll save the explanation for another time. Following the third selection, after the language studies, I'd originally planned on withling you down to only 5 remained. Well, some things came up. It seems the overlords the Japanese Football world have made up their mind to stamp out Blue Lock as soon as possible. Which is why I've fired back at them with a challenge. So your next challenge will be in 3 weeks. Itll be a match with the continued existence of Blue Lock at stake. Japan National U-20 Team vs Blue Lock Select 11-Member Team. If you win this game Blue Lock will hijack Japans National Team."

48 Hours Ago

Kiyoshi sat in front if Ego, a desk separating the two, Anri stood on the side of the table.
Ego: "I'm sure you know of Noel Noa."
Kiyoshi: "What about him?"
Ego: "He's the world's greatest striker currently. Looking at him what does he have that sticks out most?"
Kiyoshi: "I don't know. . ."
Ego: "Think"
Kiyoshi sat there staring at the ceiling for a second. Kiyoshi then shrug his shoulders not knowing the answer.
Anri: "How do you not know?"
Kiyoshi: "I. . Dont. . Know"
He said slowly as if they hadn't already heard him."
Ego: "His body."
Kiyoshi: "Ohhhh, ok what about his body?"
Ego: "Look at me, as you know I played soccer. You remind me of myself when I played. Only skill, no physical talent"
Kiyoshi: "I'm fast and can jump super high."
Ego: "There are a number if people better than you at all those things here at Blue Lock. Another thing you lack is the ability to use your brain. You attempt to use your brain and you meltdown. Just like against the match with the World Select. You need another weapon, one only your able to do."
Kiyoshi: "Like what?"
Ego: "That's for you to figure out. Anri will help you."
