You eagerly waited with Oliver, a tablet in hand as you checked people in. You had gotten everyone so far, and when the door opened again, you immediately turned your gaze to it. Your fingers immediately hovered over the names as the U-20 team eyed the incoming BLUELOCK members.
You ignored as people said whatever to you, walking closer. "The U-20 players? How come you guys are here?" You recognized him to be Isagi Yoichi with the last time you'd seen him being back when you all bowled. Swiftly, you checked off the newcomers names, marking them as present.
Bachira Meguru.
Aryu Jyubei.
Chigiri Hyoma.
Barou Shoei.
Nagi Seishiro.
At the last name you marked, you lit up, rushing toward the much taller striker. "Nagi!" You exclaimed, tackling him into a hug. He merely pat your head in response, and you pulled back.
Out of the corner of your eye, they saw Isagi approach Rin. You were forced to ignore that, however, as Nagi spoke. "You know what's going on?"
"Yeah, and I'm really excited for everyone!" You smiled brightly, your conversation getting interrupted as Ego began his long speech. You immediately headed toward the front of the room where he appeared in a projection form.
"Hello there, you diamonds in the rough. Did you all enjoy the holiday?" He fully formed, catching everyone's attention. "As you might know, I now hold the power to decide every member of Japan's U-20 team, and since I figured that even the losers might have their uses, I've decided that the new U-20 team will be formed from the members I've gathered here.
"If you guys were to take part as you are, let's see... Victory is simply impossible. The next stage will show you that, but putting it aside, 'strike the iron while it's hot.' I came up with a method to allow all of you to evolve at a rapid pace.
Here's a question. What was the 'cause' of you guys getting stronger? 'Awakening your ego.' 'Becoming aware of your innate weapons.' The reason that happened to each of you without a doubt. This 'environment.' This special and cruel enclosed space called 'BLUELOCK.' And to rise to greater heights, a new 'environment' will be needed. And thus, I've decided to throw you guys into the hottest hellfire that exists.
"In BLUELOCK's phase two, you all will be thrown in the peak of the world: Europe's big five leagues."
Excitement courses through your veins, a bright smile on your face as you watched the varying reactions of the players. Some looked amazed, and others already felt the pressure just from being told a hint of what's to come.
