Born into a distinguish, I've always stood above others, it was my duty. Or at least it was supposed to be my duty. Ai Akashi, daughter of Akashi Seijuro. Watch her journey into becoming a miracle herself just like her father, Akashi Seijuro.

Feeling her breath hitched, her eyes slightly widened seeing his purple eyes look at her; expecting an answer. The brief moment of euphoria she once had disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Noticing the females hesitance both Chigiri and Isagi communicated through their eyes. Both knew Ai wasn't one to talk about her family, if anything she refused to talk about them. So, seeing her reaction painted a good picture where their relationship stood. To see her vulnerable was odd, she always held her head high no matter the circumstances but now she's reduced to that of a scared child.
"Enough, Akashi. We don't have time for your family reunion" Ego said diverting the attention from the redheads. "That being said, the match is three weeks from now for the U-20 Japan Team, led by Sae Itoshi VS The Blue Lock Eleven. If you win, you can steal the right to represent Japan...and if you lose Blue Lock will be destroyed. Let's go, you lumps of talent. We'll be the ones to change Japanese soccer." Ego said causing the group to erupt in determinism
"Hey!! Wait a sec! I get that we're not guaranteed a spot, but who's gonna be in the "Blue Lock Eleven"?!" Raichi questioned Ego "Do we...have to pick mid-fielders and defense from this group?" Gagamaru added
"Yeah, of course. And A goalkeeper. We'll have to do our best with our Ram-Shackle team"
"But...That's crazy!!! The other team will have defense specialists!" Tokimitsu freaked out "Oh, shut up. How stupid do you think I am? Blue Lock is going to assemble a team...focused around the following seven players. These are the top-ranked players at present. And putting together a team in just three weeks will require...a most rational gamble. Will the following players please come forward..." Staying silent everyone awaited for Ego to continue to talk
"First, we have Rin Itoshi. Then, Number two...Ryusei Shido. Next, Number three... Tabito Karasu. Next up... Number four...Eita Otoya. Number five...Kenyu Yukimiya. And last, number six...Seishiro Nagi."
Upon hearing the names be called, Ai froze in shock. None of the names called were her name...
Hiroto stared at his younger sister with a knowing smile. Already knowing what was going through her mind.
"Umm, Ego-san...Just a simple question for future reference...but why am I number five? What's the difference between me and Number One?" The one with glasses questioned "That's simple. Out of the thirty-fife remaining here...The only ones who were able to score a goal against the World All-Stars...were Ai Akashi, Rin Itoshi, and Ryusei Shido. The rest were determined based on goals scored since the first selection...and the personal evaluations of the five world all-stars. And finally my own judgment. Are you satisfied four-eye model nice guy?" Ego said looking down at the male
"Yes! Thank you."
"Now then, Akashi." Ai turned towards the lanky male, who simply stared at her before smirking "Outta everyone on the field, you stood out the most...so much that the World Stars demanded to pass you for the next stage" whispers echoed throughout the room
