Prologue
(A/n: I'm gonna say this first. I have no knowledge of football at all.
I was only introduced to it by blue lock and I immediately wanted to create a fanfic before my ideas gets taken. You can criticize me all you want as long as you take what I said into account.
Of course I will study football from now on but I'm a slow learner so I guess it will take a long amount of time considering football's complexity. Anyways, that's all. Hope you enjoy...atleast.)
---
In the world of football, it is possible to produce elite goal keepers, defenders, and mid fielders.
However, the same cannot be said of strikers.
After all, a first rate striker is one...
Who appears in football's most critical moment.
---
"Hmm I've already memorized all the simulations of arguments that might occur...the only thing left is to execute them perfectly to convince those diamonds in the rough..."
A man with a bowl cut wearing a black button up shirt talked to himself while driving a car.
The man looks like he barely gets enough sleep and has a long neck creating quite a creepy impression.
"Through this project...my dream will finally have a chance to come true..."
His grip on the steering wheel tightens as his eyes intensified.
"I...will never let this project fail even if it kills me."
He said with voice full of determination before silence continued in his car.
--
While driving in silence, he noticed a mini football field with people playing in it. From the looks of it, it appears that it's just a friendly match.
Seeing this, the man thought for a bit before coming to a decision as he slows down his car before stopping near the entrance.
"Might as well watch for a little. Who knows if there's a diamond hiding here..."
He said to no one before going out of the car and walking towards a bench where a lone boy is sitting and also watching the match.
'If there's no one to sought for here, then it's alright, I will just be a little late to the meeting. However, if there is, then I will never forgive myself for that...'
After all, he is a man who believes that only a fool waits for luck to happen to them instead of doing their best to at least increase their chances.
Such is the philosophy of this man called Ego Jinpachi.
--
Meanwhile, the boy who is watching the match while sitting on the bench is currently lost in his thoughts.
'Should I try playing football? I barely know anything about it but just observing this match reveals that it's a little bit more complicated than basketball...'
'I've been trying to find the sport that can make my heart race for 3 years...I hope this is it-'
"What's the score?"
His thoughts got cut off by a question. Hearing this, he didn't bother looking at the source.
"2-1"
"Hmm"
The voice got closer before the man from before sat beside him.
"Are you waiting for a new player to come in to join them?"
The match is a 6 v 6 one. If another guy joins, it will become 7 v 6 which is not quite fair.
"Not really. I never played football or anything that is even remotely close to it so I will just hold my team back if I joined."
Hearing that, Ego raised his eyebrow before he looks at the red head teen as he observes him.
'Mesomorph type, aesthetic muscular body, 8 to 9 percent body fat, around 6'3 in height...'
"What sports do you play?" He asked after a few seconds of observation.
"Been playing basketball for half a year now...well, I'm planning to switch to football if I find it more exciting..." Replied the boy.
"I see...how about you come with m-"
"Oh shoot! Ball's coming to you two! Watch out!"
Their conversation got interrupted as one of the players shouted warning them.
Hearing this, Ego was about to look where the ball is before the boy beside him got up from the bench and jumped up in a swift motion.
*Swif!*
"What the..."
The ball that's in the air was caught by the boy's head causing it to bounce off infront of him having lost most of its momentum.
His eyes looking as if he was possessed, the boy then used his left foot to kick it a little up in the air closer to him before he landed.
*Thud!*
After he landed, he stepped a little further from the ball's landing point before readying his right foot as he waited for the ball.
After the ball reached the height of his knee-
"This is called a direct shot, right?" He said before kicking the ball.
*Poom!!!* (Football getting kicked)
The ball then pierced through the air while all of them watched as it goes on the direction of the goal.
Unfortunately...
"Haha..."
*Tung!!!*
-the ball hit the goal post.
The shot was so strong that the sound of the ball hitting it created some echoes even though he's quite far from it.
After the ball hit the post, it bounced off before one of the players caught it.
"That was a strong shot man!!"
"Yeah! What the heck's with your kicking power, dude!"
"Hey, ashito! Switch up with him, will you? Your shooting sucks!"
"What did you say!?-"
While the players are bickering, Ego, who watched everything play out in front of him was...
"You said that you never played football but that was quite clean." He remarks as he thought: 'That jump was atleast 100 cm...'
"Really? I only copied one of their goals though..."
"If you really mean that, then there's no doubt that you have quite the talent for football. And besides..." He stopped his words as he stared at his feet.
"What?" Asked the red head with his eyebrows raised.
'Does this dude have a feet fetish or something-'
"Nevermind. Anyways, as I was about to say earlier, how about you come with me? I will bring you to a place that can help you become the best football player in the world."
With his words, the boy stared at him with a dumbfounded face.
"You do know that this sounds like kidnapping, right?"
"Huh?"
"Just think about it. A stranger offering things to a child to make him come with him- kinda like that."
Looking at the confused face of the man, the boy got into a thinking position.
"Hmm"
Understanding what the boy meant, Ego tried to explain things more clearly...
"Oh...well, yeah, of course I will let you ask your parents first-"
"Nevermind that, let's go."
"Huh?
"If what you said is true, then good. But if this is kidnapping...well, I'm also quite curious on what will happen if I'm kidnapped. I think it'll be quite fun, don't you think so?"
"..."
At the boy's words, Ego, a man who always thinks steps ahead of time, is genuinely confused for the first time in his life.
The cause of that?
"I'm Enryu Kaizer by the way. You can call me Kai if you want." He said as he stretches his hand for a hand shake.
Forcibly stopping his confusion, he shakes his hands.
"Jinpachi Ego. You can call me Ego."
Shaking his hand, Ego thought.
'He's quite an unpredictable guy but that in itself can also create a one of a kind type of Ego if cultivated properly..."
And with that, Ego, along with his new passenger (who's a little disappointed that he is not getting kidnapped), drove his car towards his destination.
-
They then reached their destination which is the JFU (Japan football union) building.
Ego then stops the car before the entrance as he spoke to Kai.
"Just wait for me inside the building. Pretty sure that hundreds of people are already inside."
"Alright." He then got out of the car and stood infront of the door.
He then opened the door and entered as what greeted him was hundreds of stares.
Seeing them, Kai entered nonchalantly not minding the fact that he looks out of place with his clothes which consists of a maroon long sleeves and black short contrary to them who is wearing their school's uniforms.
Noticing his out of place clothes, a boy with black hair and blue eyes walked to his side before talking to him.
"Hey, man. Did you not see the note on the invitation that says to come in uniform? You look so out of place."
