3 Blue Lock: Tag

Isagi entered facility with the outfit selected for him. It had the numbers 299 on it with the letter Z right under it.

Once he entered his room, he saw quite a bit of people there. It was 12 other than himself. There was only one familiar face he saw. That would be Ryosuke Kira.

Before they could talk, Isagi was almost hit with a shirt. He would've been if he didn't dodge it after seeing it in his peripheral vision. He quickly tossed it back to the guy with the monstrous body.

"Isagi! Nice to see someone I know." Kira would state as he'd walk up to Isagi.

Before anymore chit-chat could go on, Ego would be on the monitor.

"Now that you're done changing, let's get on with it. The people in this room are your roommates and your rivals. I've personally judged all of you from what I've seen so far and ranked you 1-300. That number on your uniform determines your rank. The top 5 of Blue Lock will be registered to play in the U-20 World Cup."

Isagi would smack his lips after seeing his low rank, just under last place.

"If you fail Blue Lock, you'll forever lose the right to represent Japan. Anyways, time for some tag. The time limit is 136 seconds. If you get hit with the ball, you're it. Whoever's it when time runs out has failed and needs to piss off home. No hands, 'kay?"

The monitor flicked off and a ball fell from the ceiling. The person who was it was Gurimu Igarashi. Isagi hadn't been paying any attention though. He was focused on the idea of playing in the U-20 Game.

Isagi was only snapped back into reality as he saw the ball flying at him. It was heading straight towards his head. Isagi quickly acted as he leapt up, his foot slamming into the ball and flying straight back at Igarashi.

The ball slammed into the monk's stomach, registering him back as it.

"That jump..." Kira said. Isagi was only able to jump that high due to his training regiment that he was given by Noa. 

Igarashi would begin to scramble around until he came across a sleeping kid on the ground. He hesitantly cocked back his leg. However, the sleeping boy quickly sprung up and kicked Igarashi in the face.

After that, an orange haired dude walked up to Bachira and grabbed him by his shoulders.

"I don't like playing dirty." He'd say, however he was quickly hit in the face with the soccer ball by Igarashi.

The boy would grit his teeth as he'd slam his foot into the ball, launching it at Igarashi. The monk tried to hide behind Isagi, but Isagi easily ripped out of his grip, causing the monk to be hit in the stomach.

The game went on with Igarashi being it for the rest of the time. Once the timer hit 0, distraught was put on the bald headed boy's face. After a bit of complaining, he regretfully left.

"Congrats on those of you who survived. Now, time for the next stage, The First Selection. You will be known as Team Z. You'll be facing off against other teams in a Round-Robin Group League match against other. But first, you'll be running some stamina tests."

3 days later, Isagi, Raichi, and Kira were running on the treadmills. Isagi had way more stamina than Kira, yet he could see that Raichi and him had around the same amount.

Next, Isagi and Kuon were practicing a jumping test. Isagi was able to out jump Kuon by a long shot, able to look fully down on him. Almost super human like.

Later, Isagi was heading to his teams indoor training field to practice some more. On his way there, he ran into someone.

"Hey, Isagi. Wanna train with me?" Bachira had asked, just waking up.

"Sure, I don't mind." Isagi answered, already heading over to the training field.

Once they got there, Isagi passed Bachira the ball before standing across from him. They planned on doing a one-on-one battle between each other.

"You know, Isagi, you're interesting." Bachira began as he started to dribble forward.

"What does that mean?" Isagi asked as he tried to mark down Bachira. His dribbling was insanely good, but nothing like Noel Noa's. Though, Isagi never managed to steal a goal from Noa. Still, Isagi knew how to counteract this from his training with Noa. 

Isagi made sure to stay a bit away from Bachira, making sure to just keep him from moving closer to the goal.

"I mean, although you're ranked 299, you're better than a lot of the other people in what even they're good in." Bachira said as he tried to get around Isagi.

"Well, we won't know until we play a game. If we do that is." Isagi said, however his main focus was on the ball. quickly, once he found an opening, he tapped the ball with his foot, causing it to go in between Bachira's legs and letting him counter-attack.

Bachira only smiled as he quickly got in front of Isagi before he could go full speed. However, it was too late. Isagi was close enough to the goal already. For a normal person, the shot was impossible. He was around 35 feet away from the goal, but for Isagi, it was different. His legs were insanely powerful, though he could only make this shot with his right leg.

However, there was another ability that allowed him to make this shot. That being his Predator Eye. 

It was a skill he also learned from Noa, it allowed him to narrows his vision to make a goal. It was a complete opposite to his other form of vision, Meta-vision, but that was only best with more people on the field.

Isagi cocked back his right leg, slamming it into the ball as it curved around Bachira and into the goal.

Even Bachira was shocked by the goal. He never saw anyone shoot from that far, at least, not a high school player. A smile crept on his face.

"I knew I liked you." He said, his arms behind his back.

"Alright, we've finished compiling all the data from the test for the new rankings." The speaker in the training field announced.

"Please return to your rooms." The speaker shut off. It was definitely Ego's voice that was speaking.

Isagi and Bachira returned to the room with everyone looking at their rank. 

As Isagi looked, he was surprised to see how far he shot up. He went from 299 to 265.

"Isagi, you moved up over 30!" Bachira said while also looking at Isagi's rank.

The monitor in the room quickly brimmed to life as Ego was presented.

"Alright, alright, let me speak. After yesterday, the amount of people in Blue Lock went down from 300 to 275 considering every team lost a member. Anyways, I'll tell you more about Blue Lock now. There are 5 wings, teams B-Z. You guys are in the lowest wing, wing 5. The people at the top get better food and a better living style, meaning he higher you go, the better you are."

So there are people way better than everyone in this room? Isagi thought while looking around at everyone.

"Now, let me tell you about the first selection. All of you in wing 5 will have a round robin tournament with the other teams in wing 5, Team V-Team Z. After the final match, the top 2 teams will clear the selection. The top scorers from the losing teams will also be allowed to move on. Now, the 1st game starts in 2 hours against Team X." Ego said, the monitor then turning off.
