"Well, you should know, I'm anri, you may call me miss anri, first ego wants to talk with you"

The woman with red hair spoke, much kinder and softer than ego, so she's a real refresher

"Yeah sure, when do we chat?"

"Now, miss Aikawa"

Oh dang

We make our track to an automatic door, sitting in dim office, watching tons of monitors displaying the current players training, Is ego

"Hello diamond in the rough!"

"Hello ego san"

"What happened to specks?"

"Would you prefer it?"

"No ego san is fine, respectful"

"Got it"

"Now originally when you showed up, I thought you'd be a pain in my neck, however, you have shown some exceptional talent, on par with professional athletes. Which begs for the question. How? People have pasts and history. But you came out of nowhere and already have shown you are better than most of not all players here at blue lock. You could put a wrench in a lot of things just by existing. So how did you come to be the player you are"

"Well, we could start with my crybaby backstory, but that's no fun. The real reason for it is, hard work  hard work and bitter anger and loneliness. I found it comforting if it was just me and the ball. Cause I had no one to pass to."

"So that explains why you're so dependent on yourself. Continue"

"I wasn't allowed to watch any soccer team play. Like at all. Don't ask why. So I found myself watching the premiere league in secret"

"Europe? Interesting. That explains your skills and technique"

"I was trying to and recreate the things I saw in the premier league and often times, I would. There was something joyful about nailing a special trick that professionals can only pull off. I got a rush out of it."

Ego looked at me. Then smirked, not creepily. But heartwarmingly.

"That was your ego. You're an egoist. You get a kick out being better and knowing you are. You have the one thing I am looking for in these players. To build the neo egoist league. I need Ego"

Ego spoke with urgency, it's as if something is weighing him down.

"Why am I the diamond in the rough? And not another unpolished gem"

I asked ego, confused as to why I am different

Ego simply pushes his glasses up

"What is there to polish if the gem already shines? You've shown outstanding skill that exceeds even the top players of blue lock, how can make someone better what is already perfect? Even from day one, even if I thought you'd be a pain."
