CREATOR || BLUE LOCK [ON HOLD]

CHAPTER 6

It was time for the first selection where the five teams in each section would compete against each other in a small league. The top two teams with the highest points would advance to the second selection.

The teams competing against each other for the first round had been announced and they had twenty four hours to prepare for the match before they could face each other.

You were currently in the midst of a training session with Barou Shouei who was the only member of Team X to request a session.

You had tested him with the course that specialised in stealing the ball from the opponent and so far, he had sailed through level one but as soon as he was up against the holographic player in level two, he struggled to take the ball away from it.

He seemed to be coming up with a strategy to steal the ball but it became a distraction as the hologram managed to run past him and send the ball into the goal.

A large X hovered in front of the goalpost and Barou made a sound of annoyance.

"Let's go over it again."

You checked the time to see he had ten minutes left and you nodded before restarting the program.

You couldn't help but watch, impressed by the way he handled the ball as he managed to steal the ball in time and score a goal.

Barou grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead before he walked over to you, accepting the bottle of water you offered him.

"You did really well, Barou. Compared to the other boys who have taken part in the training, you've done the best as your the only one to have reached level two." You informed him.

"Of course. Like a king, I'm the best out of all these losers." His words along with the aura surrounding him showed off his arrogance and you raised a brow in amusement.

"Well, King Barou...Keep up the good work and I'll hopefully be able to see you in a few days for your next training session. Until then, don't get yourself kicked out."

Barou couldn't help but like the sound of you addressing him as a king but kept that to himself, his eyes shifting to the side as he moved his attention elsewhere.

"Like I will get myself kicked out."

------------------------------------------------------------

"This is exhausting." You were slumped on one of the tables of the cafeteria, your tray pushed to side as you had finished eating.

"You're complaining? That's a surprise."

You lifted your head to send a playful glare at Bachira who stuck his tongue out at you.

"I have to use my brain more than my body which also can be tiring." You huffed, swatting his hand away as he started to poke your head to annoy you more.

It had gone into a week at Blue Lock and you had gotten closer to a few of the boys, Bachira being one of them.

"How's team Z handling the first selection?"

"It was a disaster during the first match. Everyone didn't want to cooperate as a team and tried to score a goal for themselves. Isagi teamed up with Kunigami around the end of the match but we still didn't win." He told.

With the rules that were set out, you could understand why things turned out that way.

"Kuon has come up with a plan so we can work together as a team now. We're going to test it out in the next match." He informed you and you smiled, happy to see his team try to make up for their mistakes.
