(Y/N) takes a deep breath. His memories flash back to him. Just a while ago, he was some no-name center back, and now he had an opportunity to become a forward for the U-20 team. He chuckled to himself and focused his attention on Ego. He listened closely, letting a smirk creep across his face as his eyes flared up. 'I'll show you despair, Luna.'
Raichi was the first to answer back. "Hey!! Wait a second! I get that we're not guaranteed a spot, but...who's gonna be on his "Blue Lock XI?!"
"Do we...Have to pick mid-fielders and defenders from this group?" Gagamaru added.
"Yeah, of course. We need a goalkeeper as well. We'll have to do our best with this ramshackle team," Ego responded.
Tokimistu looked worried. "But...that's crazy! The other team will have defense specialists!"
"I don't...hate this new development," Aryu responded.
Ego frowned. "Oh, Shut up. How stupid do you think I am? Blue Lock will assemble a team focused around the following six players. These are top-ranked players at present. Putting together a team in just three weeks will require a rational gamble."
Ego cut out, with static replacing the screen. "Will the following players please come forward...
First, our top player...Rin Itoshi."
Rin walked forward with an emotionless expression.
"Next, Number two...Ryusei Shidou."
Shidou walked forward with a grin. "There it is. Wahoo~"
"Huh? You're that awesome?!" Igaguri said, surprised. "I thought you were just scary..." he whispered.
Shidou, with his cocky grin, exchanged glances with Rin, still emotionless as always. "So he's number one?"
Isagi looked on with determination.
"Next up...Number three. Tabito Karasu."
