"What the Fuck.... Do you think you'll win the world cup with this dumb shit?! With these stupid games?! Why was I...?!" Kira was shaking in rage as what was taking place developed in his thoughts. His face twists into one of pure anger. "HOW COULD YOU ERASE THE FUTURE OF A PLAYER AS TALENTED AS ME?!"

"AREN'T I JAPAN'S 'NATIONAL TREASURE'?! HUH?! SO WHY DON'T YOU EXPELL VICTOR OR ISAGI INSTEAD?! HUH?!"

"Kir-" Isagi started before I cut him off. "Don't, he's too into his emotions, you don't know what he could do."

I feel him move slightly, looking up at me as I stare at Kira with a slight look of pity. Ryosuke Kira's nose keeps dripping blood on the floor, his contorted face most likely making it worse. "WHAT EVEN IS THE POINT OF THIS STUPID GAME?!" He looks up at Ego, or the screen that Ego is talking to us from. "TAG AIN'T FUCKIN FOOTBALL!! SO WHY'RE WE EVEN DOING IT?!" Is that an accent popping out? Nice.

We all look up at the TV as Ego fixes his glasses, his eyebags being more prominent than they were before. "At blue lock... everything you do is related to football. Have a good look at your surroundings you sham of talent." At that, everyone looks around the rectangular room before Ego tells us the answer.

"The area of that room is 16.5 by 40.32 meters. The exact same proportions as a penalty area. About 75% of goals are made from this little area. You could say it's the domain of a striker. In other words, in this small place, the positioning skills or a striker means everything."

Kira stares in shock before Ego starts talking again, "Therefore, those unable to survive under such conditions... can hardly qualify to be talented strikers." I try to slip my hand away from Isai's shoulder but see his hand was shaking. I leave my hand on his shoulder, moving my thumb to try to comfort him slightly.

"BUT TAG'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH FOOTBALL!!" Kira keeps his temper up, trying to fight back what Ego is proposing.

I try to ignore this one-way argument; Ego was going to win it either way. He did create Blue Lock; he will take every measure to follow the rules he made.

I sighed, walking towards Kira. After he finishes yelling again. "T-then what'd you expect me to do in just ten seconds...?" I open my mouth to say something only to be cut off by Ego "From the time the ball hit you until the clock ran out, you still had about one second left. There was plenty of time to survive by shooting at an injured Igaguri. And yet, you wasted that opportunity."

I bit my lip before stepping away from Kira, knowing that if I even get close to him, I'd only frustrate him. Ego keeps talking, explaining to everyone the motive and why Kira lost. "This is your loss, Ryosuke Kira. Now...

LOCK OFF."
