4: A Game Of Tag

"You all have a time limit of 136 seconds, if you get hit with the ball you're it and whoever is it has to piss off back home. Also you can't use your hands."

"Even Pros use a game of tag to warm up so consider yourself lucky, but this is an Egotism test that I've devised to ascertain who of you has the essence of a striker. Prepare yourselves for this unordinary game of tag."

While most of the others where questioning Ego I instantly got fired up. I couldn't believe I wasn't the best player here, although it sounded a little racist I refuse to believe 221 Japanese footballers are better than me.

Then as soon as the ball dropped the battle begun, aiming to take revenge on Reo and Nagi, Ryo charged at the ball kicking it with crazy power though they dodged it with insane agility.

"Dammit! I'm gonna only aim for you two!!"

"Oh yeah? Do your worst oversized pig!" Though not giving up Ryo had another dig though they dodged it again.

"Hey Reo I was wondering why this place felt familiar, it's the same size as a penalty area." Oh shit it does, that was the nagging feeling I was getting. Though Nagi is proving just how much of a genius he is. Not only is he capable of crazy movements but his football iq is high to.

"Yeah and the fact that we only have 136 seconds is probably because that's the average amount of time a player has the ball for."

"You two really are the monster duo, even I couldn't have figured that out so quick." Yet again Japan has surprised me in its football iq.

Everybody else could only be stunned at how they figured that out. Though Nagi and Reo just went back to teasing Ryo getting him even more pissed.

And as he kicked the ball missing them again he actually hit the dumbass with googles instead. So then I notice the dumbass take off at break neck speed, speed even I wasn't sure I could match.

Arriving on the scene he says, "Throughout heaven and earth I alone run solo." Then taking several long strides he rushes over to the TV before waving at the screen asking if he's won.

That's when I realized he must have some sort of condition, for someone to be this dumb is truly a step back for mankind.

And it seems Nagi and Reo had the same idea as me but instead said it verbally calling him and idiot among idiots.

Then again he takes a crazy boost forward rushing at the duo to which they ran. They tried to maneuver around the box to shake him though he was crazy good at changing directions, so he eventually caught up to them launching a rocket that gracefully missed Reo but smacked Nagi in the face.

"Hm, seems like I'm it Reo, everyone's fair game right?" Stunned by Nagi about to take this seriously I turn my head back along with everyone else in the room.

{EGO POV}

"So the three geniuses are holding up to my standards, lets see how you unpolished gems cope."

Even though there was just 40 seconds left I was confident Nagi could get someone. Though Nagi did a Nagi thing and just walked to the door and sat down.

"Hey Reo, I'm not gonna do anything, I'm just gonna sit down and wait till I get eliminated and go home."

Everyone then erupted in laughter while I was honestly just disappointed, I was itching to get some action, so I finally made my move I looked at the timer then exploded towards the ball. Everyone was stunned though they got even more stunned after I kick up the ball, kick it over my head before hitting the ball on the volley with my rocket of a left foot before smacking the dumbass in the face hitting his glasses off. Then finishing my bicycle kick i land in a squat position looking into Nagi's eyes.

"Well Nagi if you don't want to do it, then I'll do it myself." Having a villainous smile on my face with my eyes darkening.

There was just 10 seconds left with time ticking down the dumbass had got up still shaken up.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA, THAT'S WHAT YOU GET YOU DAMN IDIOT." Yelled across the room by Ryo. But in response the idiot says, "Don't call me an idiot."

Then sprinting with the ball in his feet he cut down the space in just 3 seconds before launching the ball towards Ryo hitting him in the balls.

"Look who the idiot is now!" Then as Ryo was still on the ground the timer hit 0.

{EGO POV}

"That was quite an intense game wasn't it Ego!" Anri excited as ever loved the game.

"Those 4 Zachary, Nagi, Reo, and Zangetsu really are something! Even though he isn't Japanese I knew he was a great pickup for us!"

"Eh, there can only be one worlds number 1 Anri and the only reason he is even here is because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would give him and his family early citizenship if he wins. This Blue Lock program will ensure that the worlds best striker is made, this was only the beginning, to separate the rotten apples from the good ones. These unpolishes diamonds will fight and sharpen each other till the best is created. In this hellish environment they will forge there Egos which the world has never seen. We will bring forth and Egoist capable of devouring the world."
