||Team Z's Room...||

"Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!"

Only one chose rock while the others chose scissors. The winner is....

"Oh." Isagi stares at his fist, surprised that he won.

"Ahh, shit! You kidding me?!" Raichi complains at his lost.

"Then, just like we agreed earlier, Isagi can pick the position he wants, and the rest of us will follow by rank." Kuon said.

"Congrats, Isagi~" You clap your hands.

"Ah, thank you, L/N." Isagi scratch the back of his head.

"So..?" Kuon spoke, waiting for Isagi's wanted position despite knowing which it is.

"I'll be the forward!" Isagi confidently declares.

||-Flashback-||

"The first selection will be a round robin involving all five teams inside this stratum." Ego explains through the screen.

"Only the top two highest positioned teams at the end of all 10 matches will qualify. And the worst three will be eliminated. Meaning the members of those teams will be immediately expelled from Blue Lock."

Win = 3pt
Draw = 1pt
Lose = 0pt

"And they will lose the right to play for Japan's National Team."

"However! For those three teams, there is a way to avoid elimination."

"That is, to be the player who has scored the most goals for their team by the selection's end."

"This is a system with the purpose of saving only the best scorer from each eliminated team."

"Players within a team will be ranked according to their number of goals scored, but 'fair play' will be accounted for in the system."

Penalty System After The Tournament

Yellow Card
-1 Point

Two Yellow Cards In The Same Game
-3 Points

Red Card
-4 Points

Red Card After A Yellow Card
-5 Points

*Should players tie in points, the highest ranked player will win.

"Those with fewer penalties will have greater chances of winning."

"Whether by pursuing 'their own goals', or 'the team's victory'..."

"The fate of every striker will be decided by this first selection we are holding!"

"This fight will have you all play football from scratch to work on your foundations. The first game will be held two hours from now between Team X....

"-and Team Z!"

||-End Of Flashback-||

||Team Z's Locker Room...||

"Alright, team! This is our first game lineup we made with rock paper scissors!" Kuon, the undeclared team leader informs.

"....." Kuon sweat drops when he saw you pointing at yourself.

"...Other than L/N who willingly play in defence." He corrected.

"Are you even a striker? Playing defending rather than attack." Raichi spoke with a neutral expression.

"Well, not that I complain!" He grins in satisfaction.

"No one asked." You said without thinking or caring of the consequences.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU-" Raichi snapped at you.

"Oi." Kunigami grab his shoulder.

"Calm down..!" Kuon tries to make things less chaotic.

"While Team X may have higher rankings than ours, from 243 to 253..." Kuon continues his speech.

"We don't have time to figure out any elaborate strategies. So let's believe Isagi as our center forward and go for the win!" He ended with.

"Alright~♪" Bachira responded.

"I don't really wanna play as defense, nah~" Naruhaya said.

"We just gotta win, right? We win, all good!" Raichi grins as he stretch his arms.

"Fine by me." Gagamaru spoke.

"Can you even goalkeeper? Gonna choke like Kawashima?" Imamura questioned.

"I lost the game so I don't really for a choice, do I? Like I'd ever wanna do this..." Iemon wore his gloves.

"'We win, all good', I guess...." Chigiri mutters out.

"Good luck, L/N! Or should I say, 'good luck, monster'?" Bachira grins.

"Then should I reply with 'good luck, Bachira' or 'good luck to you and your monster'?" You chuckle.

"Second one!" He chose.

"Then just 'good luck' is better, isn't it?" You raise your brow in amusement.

"Hm.... Good point..." He made a thinking gesture.

"Jeez... So difficult for a 'good luck'." You let out a sigh, earning a laugh from the bowl cut boy.

"It's about time now." Kuon informs before the door behind him slides open.

Going through the hallway, you are getting more and more... nervous? No, more like pumped up.

Team Z vs Team X...

You'll make sure to win the game that is fated for Team X to win.

You'll make sure to be the top scorer in this stratum.

That is...

-if your body actually decides to move itself again.

If not...

You're practically useless.

And doomed.
