"A-are you Isagi Yoichi from Ichinan?"
Kira asked as he could remember the face which was a little improved than yesterday with the new hairstyle making his face more clear and more attractive, Not to...
'..me though!'
Kira thought while looking at Isagi, Making his face look as little shocked as he could
"Yes"
Isagi said with a smile
"Oh..!, You're invited as well..? I-I mean of course you are Invited...Haha"
Kira although surprised to see Isagi, The Forward who broke his dream of playing for Nationals thought that his question may have offended him
"Yeah!, You too were invited, It's good to have a familiar face, by the way, You were spectacular yesterday"
Isagi said to Kira with a smile, But seeing the roles reversed of these two based on the Match yesterday amused him
"Thank You, But I think you were the one who deserves that praise, By the way, I didn't see you after the Match for the Interview and your Team Members and Staff were looking all over for you"
Kira said as he was genuinely curious and asked, the Ichinan Coaching staff though were trying to hide it but couldn't as their panic was evident on their faces
"Ah!, Well I just don't like Interviews much so I left early"
Isagi didn't know what to say and just blurted out what came to mind, His phone had been blowing up since the morning, He switched it off yesterday after leaving the stadium as he knew the Coaching Staff would call but even today when he turned it on, It was still going crazy as the messages and calls kept coming which he all ignored as he wouldn't need to have any contact with them later on in his life, Mostly likely
Kira at that response felt that Isagi might be a little arrogant but with the skills he showcased, It should come naturally and he didn't put Isagi in his bad books, Also he was mainly distracted by the way Isagi was carrying himself, He thought that Isagi was shorter than him but he looked as the same height as him, Isagi seeing Kira's confusion didn't plan to stay and explain and just offered to enter the building
They entered the building together and the room was packed with many, Isagi felt the excitement in the air
He was going to play with and against these broken Characters which excited him
'Nice to meet you, Blue Lock, I'm Isagi Yoichi!'

After entering and spotting the Main Character's Isagi and Kira stood at the back, The ones he spotted were Nagi, Reo, Otoya, Shidou, Aryu, Hiori, Chigiri, Bachira, and 'Ichigo', All because of their hair colors which stood out in the room
Soon the lights went out and the Man, Ego Jinpachi, A Man with the most Villainous Aura in the Entire Verse of Blue Lock, He said the same things to 300 Strikers that he did in the Manga
His build as a skinny and long dude was really freaky, Well it wasn't the build that gave that feeling it was his eyes, He looked like someone who doesn't sleep for 3 Hours at most and plays Video Games all-day
By the time Ego finished explaining why these 300 Strikers were present there, Everybody started talking among themselves while some started calling names to Ego
Instead of Kira, Some other kid spoke about how they have Nationals to play and started shouting at him but Ego who already expected this started his speech's phase 2
Isagi liked the phase 2 because it gave him the same feeling he got while reading this speech in Manga, It was intense and fun
By the time it ended and Ego opened the doors for everyone to enter, Isagi started walking towards the door which was noticed by everyone there
"Isagi!, Don't you have National to Play?"
Kira seeing that among all Isagi was the only one who started advancing to enter Blue Lock stopped him by pulling him by the Shoulder
"I'm not interested in Nationals"
Isagi didn't budge from Kira's pull, He just turned around to make his intention clear
Seeing Isagi going, others also started entering which was followed by Kira as well
.

Everybody boarded the Bus and started contacting their families to let them know of the Blue Lock Project, Isagi's Family got worried but Isagi assured them of his safety which ended up convincing them
He was sitting with some random dude who never appeared in the Manga, SO he put his earphones on and started watching football, Last Night he wanted to know if the Blue Lock world was exactly the way he thought it was, and it wasn't any different Sae Itoshi was spotted in Japan yesterday which means things are going the same way
He took fancy to many players on the world stage, The one he liked the most was Snuffy, When he read the Manga he didn't fancy Snuffy that much although his story was really great but as a player he didn't fancy him but after watching his play on the field, It changed his entire view of Snuffy, He couldn't wait till the Neo Egoist League starts
Although there is much more before that begins, He could only think about it while watching the plays online
After a while they were about to reach the destination, Isagi could see the building from the window, It looked more big and majestic compared to the Manga/Anime, When they arrived they were told to make a queue, At the end of the queue stood the beauty of the Blue Lock, Anri
She was handing out the uniforms to everyone, Isagi got there, gave his belongings, and grabbed the uniform
His Uniform number was 294/Z, Which made sense since he only played well in one match, He was ranked 6th in the Z team which is a huge leap from being the second last of the group
He walked through the maze-like structure while trying to find the Z room, After fiddling through the place he found the room and opened the door
He arrived in the room and Kira was there already, He was ranked 1st in the team, Even though Isagi defeated him, Kira's performance before yesterday still got him that rank, He looked around for a second while being fascinated by all the Characters design, He stopped himself and started changing to the Blue Lock Uniform, Even though it looked tight it was quite comfortable, He was worried that they may not fit him because of his growth overnight but these seems stretchable
"Hey Diamonds in the rough, Seems you have settled in..."
