Training room
Day 3
Running Test.
You paint loudly as you run on the treadmill.
"Run, Isagi, Igaguri, Y/n!" Raichi exclaims as he runs on the treadmill with no struggle whatsoever. "How can you talk about being the greatest striker in the world looking like that!?" Raichi exclaims.
"H-hey! My build and theirs are perfectly f-fine!" You holler.
"Hmph, maybe yours!" Raichi says. "You mortals should go home before I make you cry!"
"Shut up-" You scream as Igaguri throws up and some of it gets on you, causing you to fall off the treadmill.

Jumping Test
"Ready?" You ask Raichi.
"I should ask you that!" Raichi says with a smirk.
"Ah, well then, I'm ready." You give a small closed-eye smile. Raichi looks at you for a couple seconds before turning away.
"Whatever." He mumbles.
"1,2,3, go!" You exclaim as you and Raichi jump at the same time.
You jump higher than Raichi easily but only by a couple inches. You land on your feet with a smile.
"Good job, Raichi-kun!" You say.
"Hmph! I don't need your praise, I'll jump higher than you sooner than you can imagine!" Raichi says as you sweatdrop.
"Heh, uh, alright." You smile awkwardly.

Building 5
Cafeteria
"Ehhh, I need more than this." You whine .
295, was you ranking so obviously you'd get Miso soup and rice, with a side of sakura mochi, your favorite. But they only have you one of both bowls, although they were big, you knew it wouldn't satisfy your hunger.
"Ask Ego to give you more." Chigiri says as you look up at him.
"Yeah, I know that now." You say with a small frown.
You sit down across from Chigiri on the table and began eating your food.
"You can have some of dumplings. I'm not that hungry anyway." Chigiri says as he gives you about 4 of his dumplings.
"Really? Thank you!" You say with drool coming down from your mouth.
Chigiri smiles softly seeing your smile.
"Here, have some of my miso soup." You say, pushing the bowl towards him.
"I'm okay, you should eat as much as you can." He says.
"No! Just eat some, I don't mind! I'll ask Ego to give me more food later!" You insisted, scooting it closer towards him.
"Alright, fine." He replies as he takes the spoon and scoops some soup up, he puts the spoon into his mouth before putting it back in the bowl. "Yum, thanks." He says as you laugh a bit.
"You're welcome." You smile, even though you knew he was being sarcastic. "Have a mochi!" You say, and before Chigiri could respond, you stuff the Sakura Mochi in his mouth.
"Thanks." He mumbles with his mouth full.

Sleeping Chamber
Soft snores come from the room as everyone sleeps peacefully. Igaguri sleeps in a very weird position to say the least.
As you and Chigiri sleep together under a blanket, with your head stuffed into his neck. Well, atleast you try to sleep, you couldn't get rid of the painful cramps that seemed to just be getting worse. That's when you heard movement, like someone getting up. That's when you decided you would too.
"You can't sleep either?" You ask Isagi as he jumps a bit. You giggle, "Did I scare you? Sorry." You say.
"Heh, it's fine. Uh, yeah, I can't." He responds as you stand up.
"Me neither." You yawn softly.
"Wanna uh, train?" Isagi asks as you nod your head furiously.
You both leave the room. "So, why would you wanna train at such a time?" You ask Isagi.
"Well, it just seems like everyone is better than me at everything. So, I want to get better." Isagi says as you see a glint of determination in his eyes.
"I'm glad you're trying! I'll definitely help you in any way needed!" You smile.
"Than-" Isagi suddenly gets hit in the head by a ball as you jump a bit.
You quickly turn around to see Bachira.
"Hey! Don't do that!" You exclaim as Bachira laughs nervously.
"Sorry. I just noticed you guys get up. So, training together, I suppose?" Bachira asks.
"Uh, yeah." Isagi responds as he rubs the back of his head.
"Can I join?" Bachira asks with a closed-eye smile.

Training Field
"Hey, Bachira, when we played tag you passed the ball to me." Isagi started a conversation with Bachira as you stretched.
"Yup." Bachira replies in his usual tone.
"How'd you know I'd aim for Kira-kun?" Isagi asks.
"Well..I guess it's because...
there's a monster inside of me."
As Bachira said that, you shivered.
" A monster? What do you mean?" You ask, genuinely curious but also creeped out a bit.
"When I'm playing soccer, the monster inside of me comes out and talks to me.". " "Score a goal.", "Weave about more."." At that moment Isagi and Bachira began moving around.
"I feel invisible." You thought with a small frown. "I wanna train too." You whined to yourself.
"But, in that moment, the monster said to me: "pass the ball to Isagi."."
" "There's a monster inside him too," it said." Bachira says. "When I play, I listen to it's voice. That's all there is to it. You hear it too right? The monster's voice?" Bachira says as you stand up.
"I'm going back to bed, I feel sleepy all of a sudden " You mumble to yourself.
"Y/n? You're leaving?" Isagi asks as you turn around.
"Yeah, sorry, I feel sleepy. I'll train with you guys later." You say with a yawn as they both nod.
"Goodnight." Isagi says.
"Night night." Bachira smiles.
Just as your hand touched the door handle, a noise went off.
"The results of the fitness tests have been assessed. Please return to your rooms and confirm the latest rankings."
•••
"What ranking are you?" Chigiri asks as you fight for your life to stay awake.
"I..d.. don't know.." you respond, swaying side from side.
Chigiri chuckles a bit as your head bumps into his chest. You wrap your arms around his waist as you put your head on his chest. "I want sleep...a..and..fo..od." you mumble
A/N Rq : I don't want anyone to say anything about this because they have been friends since childhood so it's pretty normal for them😭
"Hello there, diamonds in the rough." Hearing Ego's voice made you jump as you quickly looked towards the screen.
"Ego-san!" You exclaim while looking at him.
"Yes, Y/n?" Ego says with a sigh.
"I-I need more food, I'm starting to fatigue and dizzy." You say. "Sorry, I'm such a burden." You say tired eyes.
"I'll make sure to get you more. That all?" He says and you nod. "How is everyone enjoying Blue Lock?" Ego asks with a small wave.
"Cut the crap! Do you really expect us to improve in this crummy environment?!" Raichi exclaims.
"Yeah, what he said. I want better food!" Asahi whines.
"The environment's crummy because your soccer skills are crummy, duh, idiots." Ego says in a matter of fact tone.
"Hah?!" Raichi says.
"Let's talk a little about Blue Lock. In this facility, a total of 25 teams from B to Z are spilt into 5 groups, one per building. Oh, and by the way, each team lost one person after the game of tag, so there are 275 players left. Your ranks decide your teams. Ranks 1 through 11 are in team B, ranks 12 through 22 are in C. In short, you team Z guys are the lowest-ranked in the building 5." Ego explains as you gasp.
"Lowest?!" You whine. "And I thought I was getting better.." you mumble, looking off to the side.
"You are, don't worry." Chigiri smiles.
"Sure." You mumble.
"Don't lump me in with those losers." Raichi interrupts the moment.
"Who are you calling "losers"." Kunigami says.
"Heh, let's calm down, guys." Kuon says.
"Higher-ranked players get to eat gourmet food and get to train in better buildings. In here, the best soccer player is king. If you want a better environment, win your way up." Ego's says.
"Now then. Let us begin the first selection."
