Blue prison monster

Looking at Itoshi Rin, who was still diligently organizing his belongings, Yoichi Isagi couldn't help but admire him.

(So, seeing how unwilling you are to accept this makes me think you're really amazing, Rin!)

(The world-class level is still a kind of 'aspiration' for me.)

(But for you, it's already the existence of an 'opponent' that needs to be defeated.)

(The one who ascends to the world's number one throne must be someone like you.)

(So, one day, when I defeat you, that will be when I reach the world-class level!)

(I will surpass you and become the world's number one in the place closest to Rin!)

"Ti You Si! Tuo Si! Duo Si!"

"Si Zhuang Ge Na, is that right, Rin?"

"Ah, it hurts! I bit my tongue."

Itoshi Rin covered his ears impatiently and roared,

"Shut up! I'm not your home tutor!"

Ryuga Banjo was lying leisurely on the bed, having completely ignored the task since it was issued.

Ryuga Banjo clearly knew that learning this stuff now was a waste of time because there would be translation earpieces later.

However, what Ryuga Banjo found strange was that Seishiro Nagi was actually staring at his phone and studying seriously.

Ryuga Banjo got up, stretched, and walked to Seishiro Nagi's bed.

He saw Seishiro Nagi lying on the bed, staring very seriously at the phone in front of him, not even noticing Ryuga Banjo coming over.

When Ryuga Banjo looked at Seishiro Nagi's phone, he felt like he had been Q'd by Garen.

"I actually thought you were studying? It seems I still don't understand you, Nagi."

Ryuga Banjo frantically rubbed Seishiro Nagi's white hair with his right hand. Seishiro Nagi covered his hair, protesting,

"You're one to talk, you haven't been studying either, Ryuga."

"Besides, I'm very proficient in English, I'll learn it as soon as I study it."

Ryuga Banjo didn't know why, but looking at Seishiro Nagi in front of him, he had never felt that he was so deserving of a beating.

"Damn it, Nagi, don't compare your genius brain to ours!"

Seishiro Nagi seemed to give up resisting, letting Ryuga Banjo rub his white hair. Then, Seishiro Nagi pointed to the screen and said,

"Look at this, Ryuga. If I can learn this ball control move when we compete against the world-class selection team, wouldn't I be able to create more possibilities?"

"Yeah, when we meet them again in the future, we will definitely avenge this debt."

"Yeah."

After a while, the long-absent mechanical female voice finally sounded.

Ding-dong, ding-dong~

『The Second Selection』 has come to an end——

All the players who have advanced to the 『Third Selection』 have been determined!

Please immediately change into your numbers, vests, and uniforms and gather in the central connecting room!

"It's finally time for the next stage~"

Jubei Aryu stuck out his tongue and said unclearly.

"Aryu, straighten your tongue before you speak. I feel like I'm talking to an alien."

"Let's go, let's go~"

Seishiro Nagi changed his clothes very actively, looking eager to try.

"You're in high spirits, Nagi. Then let's go!"

"Let me see if my dear Hyori has advanced or not!"

Ryuga Banjo cracked his neck and walked out of the room first.

After all five of them entered the passage, the mechanical female voice sounded again.

In addition, there are seven teams, a total of thirty-five players, who have advanced.

You will enter in the order of clearance!!

(Here it comes!! The next stage is about to begin!!)

(I wonder if the other teams have learned English?)

Yoichi Isagi clenched his fist, his heart full of fighting spirit.

"Only seven teams left? A lot of people have been eliminated."

"Yeah."

Hearing this, Ryuga Banjo put his arm around Seishiro Nagi's shoulder and smiled,

"Hehe, are you worried about your friend, Nagi?"

"Don't worry, according to your description, a capable guy like Reo shouldn't be eliminated here."

Seishiro Nagi touched his bangs and agreed,

"Yeah, Reo won't be eliminated so easily."

While Ryuga Banjo and Seishiro Nagi were chatting, the five of them arrived in front of the passage exit.

(I wonder if they won and advanced.)

At this time, the mechanical female voice sounded.

Well then, first——

Please welcome the first team to advance!

1st CLEAR TEAM 『Itoshi Rin』·『Jubei Aryu』·『Ryuga Banjo』·『Yoichi Isagi』·『Seishiro Nagi』

"Quick, quick, let me see what kind of monsters and freaks have advanced!"

Hearing Ryuga Banjo's words, Jubei Aryu also echoed,

"The only thing that can be determined now is that there are no weaklings who have come here."

Well then, next——

Please welcome the second team to advance!

Yoichi Isagi listened to the mechanical female voice, turned his head to look at the slowly opening passage door, and thought to himself,

(That's right! Only those who have overcome obstacles all the way can come here!)

(No matter what method is used, only by coming here first can one be qualified to become the world's number one!!)

(No matter what the result, one must accept it!)

(This is 『Blue Lock』——)

Along with Yoichi Isagi's thoughts, the slowly opening door finally revealed the full appearance of the second team.

2nd CLEAR TEAM 『Meguru Bachira』·『Hyoma Chigiri』·『Shoei Baro』·『Zantetsu Tsurugi』·『Ransei Shido』

"Yo, Isagi!"

Meguru Bachira waved and smiled at Yoichi Isagi first.

"I'm here, rookie."

"It's been 100 million years!"

Seishiro Nagi's eyes lit up and he spoke first.

"You're here too, idiot Zantetsu!"

"You guys still came."

Jubei Aryu supported his bangs and said coolly.

Yoichi Isagi was stunned for a moment, then murmured,

"You guys........"

(That's great!!)

Seeing Yoichi Isagi like this, Hyoma Chigiri, Meguru Bachira, and Shoei Baro surrounded Yoichi Isagi, and the three of them spoke one after another,

"Eh? Isagi, why do you seem to be relieved?"

"Did you think we wouldn't come? You underestimate us too much."

"You dare to have such a condescending look! How arrogant!"

"You completely treat us as supporting characters~"

"Eh!?"

Yoichi Isagi was flustered by the three of them and didn't know what to say.

On the other side, Zantetsu Tsurugi pointed at Ransei Shido and explained to Seishiro Nagi,

"I'm the fourth, he's the fifth!"

Then, Zantetsu Tsurugi looked at Ryuga Banjo and asked,

"You are Ryuga Banjo, right? I heard Chigiri say that your explosive speed is very fast, faster than him and faster than me?"

Ryuga Banjo smiled and scratched the back of his head, replying shyly,

"Hi~ That's not true, it's just a little bit faster~"

Seishiro Nagi looked at Zantetsu Tsurugi, who was lost in thought, and said cruelly,

"Stop fantasizing, idiot Zantetsu. If Ryuga doesn't put 5 meters between you when he goes all out, then you can consider that you have improved."
