Third Person PoV

At the front of a house was a young boy of about 17 years, he had simple black hair with red streaks and slight bangs that hid his golden eyes, he wore a simple high school uniform as he currently held a letter he had just pulled out of the mailbox moments prior, his face showing an excited smile as he read the contents of the letter.

"This is to inform Katsu Nanami that he has been selected by the JFU for a special training program…" 'And now it starts, damn I'm getting excited.'

Let me introduce myself, my name is Katsu Nanami and I have a huge secret, no I'm not a superhero but I am a reincarnated person. Shocking I know. After reincarnating I thought of where I could have been sent to and tried finding just about anything that resembled magic or superheroes through the wonderful gift of the internet, while I didn't find anything of the sort I did stumble across football clips and well I saw Noel Noa playing for Bastard Munchen and Lavinho playing for FC Barcha and that was all I needed to know where I ended up reincarnating in, the world of Blue Lock.

After finding out about the world I immediately began training and practicing at 4 years old, over the years I've honed my skills as best as I could, earning a lean yet muscular body that to me, seemed to have muscles in all the right spots for maximum shooting power and what I was most proud of, flexibility, it was not a lie to say scoring a bicycle kick goal like Shidou and Kaiser would be impossible, actually I've done it before and let me tell you, it was an absolute rush.

The feeling of seeing the opposing team's hopes get crushed in just the first half when you score an almost impossible looking goal for your age, it's fucking exhilarating. Wait…I'm going off topic.

Either way, I was simply eager for the next day, to finally start in 'Blue Lock.'

-Next Day-

'This is the place.' The Japanese Football Union, I've dreamed of being here and finally starting my journey for real.'

As soon as Katsu walked in the building he already began looking around, noting what seemed to be around 299 other people. He could recognize a few of them, Bachira, Chigiri, Nagi, Barou, though Katsu recognized them, he only took a glance at them before focusing on the podium in the front.

"Testing one, two. Greetings you unpolished gems, all of you under-18 strikers have been picked based on my criteria to attend this state of the art facility known as…Blue Lock." At his words the screen behind him changed to show the pentagon shaped building from above.

"My name is Jinpachi Ego." He introduced himself. "My job is to turn Japan into a team capable of winning a world cup." While it sounded unrealistic Katsu knew that if anyone could do it then Ego was definitely the most likely, he was Noel Noa's rival after all.

"I'll simplify it for you all, what Japan needs to become a football powerhouse is simple, the birth of a revolutionary striker." While everyone looked around trying to find someone that knew who he was Ego continued. "Among the 300 players gathered here, I will create that revolutionary through Blue Lock."

As even more confusion spread Katsu inched closer and closer to the podium. Behind Ego the screen zoomed in to show the various facilities in the building like a cafeteria, training room, and resting area, everything needed for football training.

"Starting today you will be living in Blue Lock, adhering to the training regimes I have devised, you won't return home and can consider your previous football careers finished." Collective gasps were heard throughout the room. "But let me make one thing clear, if you can outshine and rise above the other 299 forwards then you will become the best striker. So, nice to meet you all."

Raising my hand, Ego looked directly at me and motioned for me to continue. "Where do I sign up?"

He pointed to the now opening doors behind him. "Just go on through." Ignoring the people beginning to speak around me, I went through the doors and headed to a bus and found a nice comfortable seat in the back.

It took maybe 20 minutes before others began to fill in the other seats and then we were off. After a bit of a drive I stepped off and looked at the imposing building before thinking to myself.

"This is it, this is where it all starts. My journey to become the greatest."
