"Hello and nicely done, all of you unpolished gems. Are you enjoying your lives here at Blue Lock?" Ego is shown on the Tv screen.

"Shove it up your ass! How can anyone enjoy this shit?! Is living in this fucking hellhole supposed to make us better?!" Raichi glares at the screen.

"Shitty football calls for a shitty environment, capiche, dickhead?"

"HUH?" Raichi's glare grew harsher.

"But, let's talk about Blue Lock now."

"This facility is arranged into five different strata. We have 25 teams, ranging from 'B' to 'Z', with each set of five times in a stratum living in the same conditions."

"By the way, since 25 players, one from each team, were eliminated during our game of tag, there are a total of 275 players currently residing in Blue Lock."

"Also, each team is formed by the ranks of their players, in other words, Team B's players are from first to eleventh, Team C's from twelfth to twenty-second and so on."

"While you Team Z, are in the worst stratum of all. Stratum number five. Yours is the team made up of players between the 165th to 275th position."

"Are you shitting me? I've gotta play with this fucking trash?!" Raichi snap his head behind, glaring at my and Kunigami's direction.

I scoff and look away.

"Who are you calling 'trash'?" Kunigami grew an irk mark.

"Hey now, let's all calm down..." Kuon tries to stop an upcoming argument.

"Players of higher ranks from the other blocks have the better meals and training equipment... Which are meant to represent the lifestyle of those strikers at the very top."

"Here is where the finest football players get to live like kings. Win, so you too can seize such a lifestyle!"

"This is what it means to be in Blue Lock."

"Just you watch." Raichi grins.

"Keep on yapping..." Kunigami took a glance at him while Kuon let out a sigh.

"Let the first selection begin."

"The first selection will involve the 55 of you in Building 5. It's a kind of five team round robin. Only the top two teams will move on to the second selection in this survival match." Ego explains.

"So the eleven of us on Team Z will play as a proper team..? We're all forwards though." Chigiri pointed out, looking confused.

"Looks like we'll have to cover other positions too! How about being our goalkeeper? You sure look like one." Imamura chuckled while looking at Iemon.

"...Stop it. If you ask me, there's no way I can refuse.

"Then, I'll play center forward." Raichi spoke with a straight face, as if him being in that position is a must.

"Huh? You mean me." Kunigami judgingly look at Raichi.

"No, me." Gagamaru joined in.

"Gagamaru, you are on defense." Naruhaya points at Gagamaru with a cheeky smile.

While the team argues on what position they want.

However, positions doesn't matter this match since everybody will be doing their own thing rather than teamwork.

"Listen up." Ego interrupts, making the whole room quiet in an instant.

"Soccer was originally a sport all about scoring."
