3.36. The Final Day (Part 1)

"To all of the Bluelock TV fans worldwide, thank you for tuning in!"

Bluelock, on the final day of the NEL. The entire compound had been invited into the final game. In the match room, temporary stands had been created, seating the hundred-so players belonging to Ubers, FC Barcha, and Manshine City as an audience.

"Get ready, for the moment you've all been waiting for is upon us! The climax of the Neo Egoist League! The top two performing teams so far, Paris X Gen, and Bastard Munchen!"

"Both of these teams have currently two wins under their belt! Who will snag the third, to become the Neo Egoist League champion?!"

"Only seconds now, as the teams finish their huddles!"

And in an office across Tokyo, the president of the Japanese Football Union, Buratsuta Hirotoshi was on a call to one of the highest ranking World Football Association officials.

"BLTV is nearing two hundred million subscribers worldwide!" He squealed joyously. "At 500 yen per subscription, we've earnt a hundred billion yen already! It is one of the biggest and best sports entertainment programs on the planet!"

He had his camera on. The other man didn't, an anonymous profile shown on screen. "Go on."

"The entire world is tuning in to see the emergence of its latest superstar!" Buratsuta grinned. "Huge popularity... and that's why, I, the person who organised and authorised all of this, humbly ask for you to consider my ideas to increase revenue!"

"Keep talking." A hint of interest in the official's voice, he spoke.

"Well, sir..." Buratsuta's smile got wider. "It involves the genius of a man called Kuroi."

Finally, in one of Bluelock's monitoring rooms, a door swished open. Ego Jinpachi walked in, cup of coffee in hand, ready to settle down and watch the final game. On the monitors, he could see Anri, in the audience alongside the teams not playing. She looked excited, speaking with Snuffy and Lavinho with a sparkle in her eyes.

The Neo Egoist League. Ego had honestly never predicted Bluelock evolving to this level. But it had, and his goal, his plan to create the best striker in the world, was definitely coming to fruition. Just a few more steps. The U-20 World Cup was the next one.

"The stage is set." The casters dramatically intoned. "Let the battle begin!"

But then Ego spotted something else in the room. And he realised something was wrong.

"Kickoff!"

PXG decided to play Rin and Shidou at the same time...! Isagi grinned. An all in, high-risk high-reward tactic to try and take us out... this is so interesting!

He had one plan for this game. So did all his allies. Kurona. Hiori. Raichi. And himself, all ready to crown Isagi the king of the Neo Egoist League. Forget Kaiser. Forget Rin. Forget even Y/N. At the end of the day, it would be Isagi sitting on the throne.

The game started.

Ness passed to Kaiser.

Everyone was moving.

Isagi sprinted up the side of the field. Shidou and Kaiser collided, the latter moving his shoulder low, Shidou being barged away. Kaiser pulled the ball away from Shidou, and passed away to Ness.

Ness received it. He was instantly pressed by a PXG player. But Kaiser was already on the move, dashing around Shidou and beckoning for the ball back. Isagi tracked it, noting everyone's positions... and as Ness passed, he saw the person intercepting it.
