Goal 24: Blue Lock Eleven

Rin was eating his own food just as his final match ended. His mind went to Shidou and especially Ueyama. The idiot brunet really did jump and took the hit for him, like what the hell? Does he owe him now? Worst fucking feeling ever.

"That bastard.. when I see him, I'll gut him this time for making me feel this way." He shoved a spoonful of food in his mouth. Rin heard that Shidou got punished in the 'punishroom' and boy, he wished he'd stay there forever.

"Rin-chan."

Rin heard a voice approaching him. It was Bachira.

"Have you heard anything about Ue-chan?" The golden glimmer in his orbs were shining in hopefulness as he was desperate to know how the brunet was holding up.

Rin was reminded that bob-cut was someone to the stupid brunet. "Hell I know, he could be dying by now. He did take quite a hit from that cockroach."

A shadow was casted down on Sunshine's eyes as he mustered a smile still. "Ah, okay. Sorry for interrupting your food time."

"He'll be fine. That asshole won't rest until he sees the end of this match, just.. trust that goddamn hunk." That was out of character for Rin, comforting someone, but Bachira did appreciate his effort to make him feel a bit better.

Bachira then left and Chigiri was waiting for him by the door. The pink haired asked, "Any news?"

The Bobcut only shook his head, his eyebrows furrowed. Chigiri sighed at the news, "Heads up, Bachira. Ego will announce the eleven starters later. Ue will be fine."

"Yeah, you're right."

All of them were summoned to the third selection central room. Some were nervous, anticipated and well, some were chill. All of them were there, except two of them.

As smoke came from a door that was opening slowly, Ego showed himself for the second time. "Good work out there, unpolished gems. Greetings."

Everyone wasn't expecting Ego to show himself to them instead of the monitor. "Football is a sport where you score goals– and Goals.. is why strikers exist. That's why in the third selection, I formed a team centered around the one with the highest goal rate."

Ego then gestured to the hologram which showed the one who had the highest goal rate. "Itoshi Rin. With average goals of 2.5 per match, the team will center around you– in an aggressive offense orientated formation, a type of play that may suffer five goals but win by scoring 6. This is the only way to win as a team full of forwards."

Ego fixed his glasses. "Destruction begets destruction. In order for this to work the following players will become ammo for Rin Itoshi to increase and heighten the destruction rate."

The hologram appeared on the tablet Ego was carrying, "Starting with the goal keeper: Gagamaru Gin. You will be the team's guardian. With your ability to react to balls at an instant notice and your physical attribute makes you the perfect candidate for the position."

Gagamaru Gin nodded at this.

"Next, two Centerbacks: Aryu Jyubei, Ueyama Utsusu, centerbacks that can overwhelm players with height, reach and intelligence, as well as the watchtowers. But due to the circumstances of the originally designated left center back, Ueyama Utsusu is currently recovering. Leaving the position open; Niko Ikki, will presume the position. A left side centerback with high spatial skill and ball-stealing ability."
