Blue prison monster

"Hey, wait a minute."

"Let me savor the afterglow of the climax."

Aiku Jubei supported his forehead, as if reliving the match, striking what he thought was a trendy pose.

Nagi Seishiro looked at Aiku Jubei's actions, and asked strangely:

"Hmm? Superman?"

"Haha, ignore Aiku, Nagi, who do you want to pick?"

"Well, I still want to pick..."

Banjou Ryuga, hearing Nagi Seishiro's words, could only shake his head helplessly, and looked at Ito Rin again.

"Alright, alright, you decide, Rin."

(I originally wanted to choose Chigiri, but since Nagi also wants to choose Isagi, then so be it.)

Ito Rin made a claw with his right hand, looking at his right hand, and also looking at Isagi Yoichi kneeling on the ground, and said:

"I didn't anticipate that last shot at all!"

"Since coming to Blue Lock, this is the first time I've tasted this kind of frustration!"

"I have another person I want to crush, damn it..."

"I won't let you be buried like this."

Saying this, Ito Rin pointed his right hand at Isagi Yoichi kneeling on the ground, beckoning.

"Come on, Isagi Yoichi!"

"I want you to be in the closest place to me, watching me become the world's number one!"

『Blue Lock』 Second Selection 『Enemy Acquisition Battle』

Ito Rin, Banjou Ryuga, Nagi Seishiro, Aiku Jubei, Isagi Yoichi

The above five people advance!!

After saying these words, Ito Rin didn't look at Isagi Yoichi again, and turned to walk towards the channel exit.

Isagi Yoichi was still kneeling on the ground, and after listening to Ito Rin's words, he didn't get up, just thinking blankly in his heart:

(Why, was I chosen?)

(That last shot, I did predict Rin's shooting trajectory.)

(I was better!)

(But! But the ball landed at Banjou Ryuga's feet...)

(Once again, I failed to completely defeat Rin.)

(What should I have done at that time? What am I still lacking?)

(No one could have known where the ball I blocked would land.)

(So, at the last moment that determined the outcome,)

(The difference between Isagi and Rin is that little bit of 『luck』?)

"Get up quickly, let's go, Isagi!"

"Yeah, yeah, what are you spacing out for, kid?"

Nagi Seishiro finished speaking, and Banjou Ryuga, acting like he knew him well, pulled Isagi Yoichi, who was still kneeling on the ground, up.

Isagi Yoichi was also obediently pulled up by Banjou Ryuga, and then followed the two of them towards the passage leading to the next stage.

(No, my mind is a mess right now.)

(Even though I lost the match, I was still chosen...)

(So this is how it feels!)

Halfway there, Isagi Yoichi suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned his head to look at the three members of the white team, and said:

"Ah, everyone, I'm sorry!"

"We were almost able to defeat the TOP3!"

"That last ball was 『luck』!"

"We didn't completely lose to them...!"

Before Isagi Yoichi could continue to say anything, Chigiri Hyoma interrupted, panting with his hands on his knees.

"We don't need these words!"

"Eh?"

"Rin chose you, that's the reality!"

"Shut your mouth and leave!"

Barou Shoei's forehead veins bulged, looking at Isagi Yoichi angrily and said:

"That's right, if I see your face again, I'll want to kill you!"

"Hurry up and get lost, you trash!"

Bachira Meguru, on the other hand, had a long-lost smile on his face, saying:

"You can go now, Isagi, I can fight alone now without you."

"Next time we meet, we'll be opponents, and I won't lose to you!"

Looking at the faces of the three members of the white team, Isagi Yoichi recalled:

(If it weren't for Bachira, Chigiri, and Barou, I definitely—)

(Wouldn't have been able to get to this point!)

(This time was really passionate—)

(This experience of fighting alongside Barou, Chigiri, and Bachira)

(Is my pride!!)

Isagi Yoichi's eyes were firm, looking at the three members of the white team, and said:

"You must come, let's fight again next time!!"

After saying that, Isagi Yoichi no longer lingered, turned around and followed Banjou Ryuga and Nagi Seishiro towards the passage leading to the next stage.

After Isagi Yoichi left, the three members of the white team finally stopped pretending and all fell to the ground.

"Damn it, damn it! Damn it!!"

"We can't... let it end like this!!"

"Yeah, revenge, revenge~"

Bachira, Chigiri, Barou, return to the third stage—

Inside the fourth stage passage...

"Isagi, welcome to the team!"

"Uh, Ryuga is quite familiar, you'll get used to it."

Nagi Seishiro looked at Banjou Ryuga with his arm around Isagi Yoichi's shoulders, constantly saying something.

Unexplainably recalling, he seemed to have become familiar with Banjou Ryuga in the same way back then.

Aiku Jubei straightened his hair, glanced at Isagi, and said:

"To be honest, I♦"

"Wanted the trendy player Chigiri Hyoma."

"However, your heel shot was also very trendy!"

"Welcome, Isagi Yoichi!"

Isagi Yoichi bowed slightly.

"Ah, thank you very much."

Banjou Ryuga also said with a smile on his face at this time:

"Ah, actually, I originally wanted to choose Chigiri too."

"Of course, this isn't to deny your strength, but that Chigiri guy has a super beautiful older sister."

"If I can build a good relationship with him now, then how far am I from becoming his brother-in-law?"【Now is, fantasy time~】

Isagi Yoichi didn't know what to say, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Then, Isagi Yoichi seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Ito Rin walking at the front and asked:

"Hey, Rin!"

"Tell me, why did I lose to you?"

"In the match just now, to win against you, what am I still lacking?"

"Ah?"

Ito Rin turned his head to look at Isagi Yoichi, not understanding why he would ask such an idiotic question.

Banjou Ryuga also looked at Isagi Yoichi with a strange expression, but what he wanted to say was something else.

"Hey? Shouldn't you be asking me, Isagi? Didn't you lose to me, kid?"

"Uh, no, what I want to ask about is luck..."

Ito Rin directly turned around and continued to walk forward, interrupting with a mocking tone at the same time.

"Ha, even a monkey would know, right?"

"It's 『luck』!"

Ito Rin's simple explanation obviously couldn't convince Isagi Yoichi.

"Wait! I can't be convinced by 『luck』, such an unstable factor!"

"In order to make myself stronger, I need a more definite reason!"

Ito Rin stopped again, using his right hand to lift his bangs.

Banjou Ryuga couldn't help but complain in his heart when he saw Ito Rin like this:

(Can't you cut your hair, kid?)
