The Japanese Football Association's aspiration for World Cup triumph drives them to introduce an intensive training regimen in the quest to discover the next striker for the national team. This quest lead them to an unorthodox program called Blue Lo...
After winning their final game against the previously undefeated Team V, Team Z had deserved to have a night to celebrate. They gathered everyone's side dishes like last time and Naruhaya eats one of the gyoza.
Naruhaya: Yum!
Gagamaru: Hey! You're nibbling at the food again, Naruhaya.
Iemon then walks into the room and sees everyone goofing off when they should have been setting up.
Iemon: Stop messing around and help us get ready for the celebration party!
Chigiri: *mouth full* Yeah, you guys.
Kunigami: You're eating early, too.
Kuon: Can someone grab some drinks from the cafeteria?
Bachira: Okay!
Isagi: Let's go, Bachira.
Shihai: I'll come too.
The three then leave the room and go to the cafeteria to get drinks for the party. They soon get enough drinks and put them on trays.
Bachira: Think this should be enough?
Isagi: It should be plenty. Oh, yeah. Thanks for that last pass, Shihai. I couldn't have done it without you.
Shihai: What are you talking about? I'm not the match's hero, y'know.
Isagi: Huh?
Shihai: You learned something at that moment. When Nagi came at you for the ball to steal it. Am I right?
Isagi: Yeah. I think I finally understand what my weapon is and where my talents lie. Even if I predict a situation using my spatial awareness, the advantage gets canceled out if I control the ball before shooting. So I thought back to my other goals. Then I realized all my goals have been direct shots.
Isagi grips his hand into a fist as his ego starts to grow after finally finding the formula he needed to score goals.

Isagi: I took what I'd been doing by feel and turned it into a formula. It feels like my time as Yoichi Isagi the striker begins now.
Bachira and Shihai stare at Isagi without saying a word as he realized he sounded a bit arrogant.
Isagi: Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to sound so full of myself.
Bachira: I like that look on your face. Very egoistic!
Isagi: Egoistic?
Shihai: It's a huge change from the wimp I met when we all got here. Get our blood pumping even more, you egoist.
Isagi: Sure thing. Same to you.
Shihai holds his hand up for a high five and as Isagi was about to high five him, Bachira chops him on the head.
