World 5

english speaking = underlined text Author pov.

"Im super excited for the match!" Otoya exclaims stretching his arms over his head.

"Ofcourse you'd say that." Himizu responds rolling his eyes.

Otoyas face contorts to a frown and he gives the silver haired male besides him a side-eye.

"Don't go around fightin', it's early in the mornin'." Karasu tiredly says walking past them.

You follow suit after the dark haired male,"He's right. You didn't even eat yet and you're already bickering."

Both, Otoya and Himizu look at one another, tsk and then turn away again, the taller of the two sticking out his tongue and then following you.

"Haru."

"Hm?"

"I would really appreciate it if you don't scold me but him instead."

"Why would i do that? Both of you provocate another with a burning passion."

"No, he's simply annoying. It's best if he keeps his mouth shut."

You heave a sigh and slump a bit after hearing the males accusation.

"Listen Himizu, my dear...", you walk straight again and look him in the face with furrowed eyebrows.

"I know you and Otoya have a more or less complicated relationship for whatever reasons but please do try to be a bit more understanding towards him and yourself."

The males eyes narrow at the nickname and his ears get a little red. He crosses his arms behind his head and looks away from you.

"Whatever you say but i can't promise nothing."

"It's enough if you even try." You close your eyes a little after entering the cafeteria.

It's completely empty, except for Karasu whose sitting at one of the tables already enjoying his breakfast.

You head over to one of the small tvs scanning your number and receiving your food.

Soon after also getting something to drink you take a seat infront of your crow like teammate with Himizu following soon after and taking a seat besides you.

'Thank you for the food', you whisper and then dig in to finally fill your stomach. Yukimiya and Otoya soon joined you three at the table each also having their respective breakfast.

–——————–

All five of you are now standing in a corridor that leads to the field on which you'll play against those world five.

"We finna rock this." Karasu says putting a hand onto his hip.

"Hm. Even if we might not shoot a goal we should still try till the end." Yukimiya exclaims making us nod.

"Lets do this!" You shout throwing a fist into the air making the others join you with a loud 'yeah!'.

As soon as you enter the field the bright light shines down on all of you.

After your eyes regain their normal sight back you can clearly see five people already standing in the middle of the field.

All of them already looking at your team.

"Haha! They don't look as scrawny as the ones we played against first!" A dark skinned male with dreadlocks exclaims grinning.

"Oh! They speak english." Yukimiya says with a smile. The others of your team nodding in agreement.

"I still have absolutely no interest in them i just wanna go have some fun with ladys in kimonos already."

You grimace at the ash-blond males words and look sideways to see your teams reaction.

Most had...questionable faces to say the least. But that just tells you that they all understand english.

"And i still wanna get to Harajuku as fast as possible!"

"Thats the baby face right?" Otoya asks leaning closer to you. You respond with a nod of confirmation,"Pablo Cavazos."

"Oh i heard my name?" The rainbow haired man says looking at you. You smile at him with closed eyes.

"Yes thats quiet right. My teammate asked me for a confirmation of something." You put a hand to your chest while still smiling at the male.

Your teammates stare at you a bit surprised at the good english you just spoke.

"Would you look at that. Blue Lock does have some good english speakers after all." Another voice joins the conversation. Leonardo Luna.

"Not just him tho." Himizu says now also participating in the convo. The rest of your team give a curt nod.

"Sorry for that. The teams before you weren't at all knowledged in english or atleast most of them." A somewhat much kinder voice responds now making you turn your heads to the male who spoke.

"I asume you already know our names but just to be sure. Im Julian Loki." The young man introduces himself with a smile.

"Hm. We are much aware off your names." Yukimiya responds this time, his english having a slight accent.

Loki nods and turns to his 'team',"Shall we start then?"

They shrug and start going to their positions, you doing the same after.

—Let the game beginn.—

Your team starts with the ball. Karasu passes to Yukimiya as soon as the whistle gives the sign for the game to start.

Yukimiya holds the ball close as he runs down the right flank. He stops when Cavazos appears before him.

The brunette passes to Himizu whose open until Blakes shadow towers over him. The gray eyed boy dribbles the ball past him as good as possible.

And shoots it to you who is getting a good distance between yourself and Luna.

You receive it with your chest and start running again but you don't get all that far before the huge dark skinned make appears before you.

"Sorry Haru! Couldn't cover him long enough for ya!" Karasu shouts while still trying to somehow block him.

"Your good, don't worry." You take your stance and gather some strenght in your leg before it clashes with the ball making it fly over Silva.

"Get it Ninja."

Luna arrives just a second too late to block it.

"Aye." Otoya catches the ball with his foot while still running. He speeds up a good amount until he's close enough to the goal.

He attempts to shoot but it gets blocked before it can reach the back of the goal.

"Not bad you came by fast." Loki got the ball now readying himself to start running to the other side of the field.

Otoya runs in trying to block him from starting his sprint but it's useless.

With an explosiv acceleration the french male practically flys over the field and towards your goal. He makes a shot.

Yukimiya who's still back and closest to your goal jumps in to stop the shot but he's too slow.

The ball buries itself in the back of the net spinning a little longer until it falls to the ground and stops rolling.

World 5 :   1Team red: 0

'bullshit!', you mutter out a small curse making Luna look at you with a raised eyebrow.

The game then continued on.

Karasu tried to shoot but got blocked by Silva. Yukimiya attempted to make a goal but got blocked by Luna who soon after shot a goal to his teams benefit.

The closest to what could have been a  goal was your attempt to shoot.

But ofcourse the balls arch had to be off. It full on flew against the goals bar making it bounce off and almost hit Blake in the face. Almost!

And you were not the happiest at that outcome so you let some foul words flood out of you mouth.

Himizu and Karasu who were standing the closest to you turned as white as ghosts quite shocked at the revelation that you can spout such foul words.

To your expectation your team didn't win but none of them found it all that horrible.

"This was a nice game. Lets play again someday boys!" Silva exclaims patting you and Karasu harshly on the backs.

"I don't see how this was a good game." You respond looking at the tall build man.

"Yea, this was just unfair." Karasu adds chuckling quietly.

Silva just lets out a boisterous laugh before saying goodbye to you. The rest of his team following (Blake not aswell as Cavazos).

The freckles baby stops infront of you making you raise an eyebrow.

"Give me your number. Your cute, so i want to have you as a friend." He says while pouting.

"Eh?" You look at the male with a confused face and then slowly but surely the realisation sets in.

'Hhhuuuuhhhh???!!!' Your mouth drops open at Cavazos bold approach towards you.

You raise a finger to your chest,"You want my number?" Out of shock you forgot to speak english making the rainbow haired male infront of you tilt his head.

"Hey Pablo, move it! I want to leave." Blake yells out to the younger.

Cavazos simply ignores the older man and rather asks you again, "Are you gonna give me your number now or not? You wouldn't want to reject such an adorable face, right?" He pouts again but now also crosses his arms above his chest.

"I can't give you my number right now, i don't have my phone with me afterall." You answer him with a small smile.

"Then give me your socials?"

"You see i don't really use social media."

"But you do have it?"

"Yeah..."

"You think their gonna converse any longer?" Yukimiya asks furrowing his eyebrows.

"Hm...dunno Freckle seems to have taken a huge interest in Haru." Himizu responds with a shrug.

"Oh he's coming here." Otoya points out.

After you finally arrive back at your group you're instantly questioned by them.

"He gave me his number. I just have to save it in my phone now." You raise your hand showing them your wrist where a few numbers are written onto it.

"He sure was persistent with ya."

You nod at that with a sweatdrop running down your cheek.

Learning languages!First english

"I really don't see why we have to do this. All of us obviously know english." Himizu says getting annoyed at the english tests they have to fill out.

"True. But i guess every team has to go through this." Yukimiya exclaims smiling after he put down his pen.

"Then lets get yer answers on why ya know english!" Karasu suddenly says putting a fist into his palm,"Himizu! What's yer reason for having learned english?"

"I didn't want to. My knowledge comes from my mother." He sticks out his tongue and rolls his eyes.

"'kay...what about ya, Yukki?"

"Im a model doesn't that explain enough?" Yukimiya responds with a closed eye smile.

"Right. Otoya?"

"So that i can get even foreign girls." The white haired male says with bored eyes.

"Ofcourse and ya Haru?" Karasu asks finally turnning to you who's sitting on your bed.

"Hm...i guess i know english because technically everyone in my family knows more then 3 languages, japanese included."

"3?! Why?" Otoya exclaims looking at you with wide eyes.

"I wasn't aware it's so unusual..." You put a finger to your chin in a thinking motion.

"Im intrigued. What languages do you know?" Yukimiya asks calmly.

"Well...japanese, obviously and english. Aswell as german, spanish and french..." You list the languages on your fingers with a focused gaze,"Oh! And also a bit russian but only such things like 'Hello' and 'My name is'."

"That is really fazinating. How do ya get that all into yer head?" Karasu asks, his eyes having an amazed gleem to them.

"Well when you grow up with those languages influencing you the most of the time it isn't all that complicated." A smile paints your face.

'Im happy that their so interested in this' A small blush grows on your face as your teammates ask you more questions,'This is really fun."

They continoued asking you questions and you with pure joy answered them one after the other until the speaker in the room cut the jolly atmosphere.

"The second selection has just been finished. All members advancing to the third selection are fully assembled."

"Oh so it's finally over." Himizu points out sitting criss cross on the floor infront of your bed.

"Please put on your respective uniforms and report to the central lounge immediately."

"I guess that's just what we are gonna do." Otoya says standing up from his spot on the floor.

The rest of your team nod and also stand up to head to the changing room.

You and Karasu enter the changing room first. You quickly hurry with changing your upper part of the uniform.

The others enter not long after you two and start to change into the tight uniforms.

After putting on the lower part you make a sound of confusion.

"Huh? I could have sworn that they still fit."

"What's up with ya?"

You turn to look at Karasu,"My pants got shorter."

The male infront of you looks to your legs with a tilt of his head.

"Weird. Yer legs are not supposed to be that visible."

"Right? That's what im saying."

Another voice chimes into the conversation,"Maybe you grew out of the pants?"

"I really hope i didn't!" You respond turning to the brown haired male beside you.

"You'll survive it for now. Just ask the bowl cut for a new one when you have the time." Himizu exclaims appearing behind Yukimiya.

"Yeah, i guess." You nod and proceed to put on the jersey of your team.

—————

"Seven teams with overall 35 players have passed the second selection."

"You will enter the room in the order in which you passed the selection."

"Oh exciting." Otoya says crossing his arms.

"Hm i wonder which team we are." Yukimiya exclaims smiling with closed eyes.

"Team 3 enter."

The door infront of you slowly raises up making you and the rest of your team turn forward.

"Team 3 it seems." You answer Yukimiya making him nod his head.

You take the first step outside of the corridor with your arms behind your back. Karasu following just behind you aswell as the remaining three right behind him.

The first falling into your sight was the fellow white haired giant you've spent your first days with here.

"Oh. Haru." The tall male exclaims quietly.

"Yo,Seishiro." You wave, a smile painting your lips. Nagi nods in return.

"A lot of unkown faces.""Yeah except for the (h/c) haired." Two males from the former team Z converse.

"Ya know them?"

"The tall one's a former teammate."You point at Nagi and Karasu nods in return.

"Hello Haru it has been a second."

"Oh! Zantetsu sure has been!" Your smile gets even bigger at the discovery of another former teammate.

"Team 4 please enter." The door beside the one your team came out of slowly raises upwards.

Out step mostly unfamiliar faces except for...

'Nanase!' You quietly murmur after seeing the familiar face.

His eyes scan the room for a bit until they land on you. For a small moment something like pity flashes over his face but its barely noticeable since he covers it with a smile of his own.

'Im happy he's still in but...what about Akino?' Your eyes narrow a little as you glance at the next door.

"Team 5 enter."

This time only four people enter making most confused but the speaker instantly solves that.

"Nishioka Hajime from team 5 is undergoing treatment after an injury sustained in the match against the World Selection."

"Aye that doesn't sound good..." Yukimiya crosses his arms with a pitying smile. Himizu nods his head at that.

"Next, Team 6 enter."

Loud yelling can be heard behind the opening door and just as its far enough up three people fall out of it.

All three are people you recognize from the first selection, two from team Z aswell.

"And lastly team 7 please enter." The robotic voice one last time announces.

'Please. Akino,Reo...' You clasp your hands infront of your chest a drop of sweat rolling down your cheek.

The first to walk through the door is once again a former member of team Z and following right behind him are another pair of unfamiliar faces.

'Two more people...',you press your lips into a thin line.

Through the door walks none other than Reo. A weight is taken of your chest at the sight but one much more heavy still remains presssing tightly against your heart.

'Akino please.' Your hands clutch another harshly making the pressured places turn white.

The last to walk through the door was infact not Akino but rather a tall build male with a demonic aura. His pink eyes gleam as he says the following words with a smirk,"That's all."

"These are all those who have advanced to the third selection." The voice from the speakers announces.

Your hands drop and your heart stays heavy. A completly blank look crosses your features.

A warm hand pats your left shoulder.

"Im sorry..." Yukimiyas voice rings through your ears but you just shake your head at it.

"Don't apologize it is not your fault. I somewhat saw it coming aswell." A sad smile grows on your lips and your eyes look down.

A sudden commotion makes you look up through your lashes. Yukimiya takes his hand from your shoulder and also looks at the loud conversation.

"People who are not able to live for the moment of an explosion are garbage. They are not worthy of  appearing in my story." The blond demon says walking past Isagi.

"That's bullshit! What do you know about Kuni-"

"Like i said that's irrelevant..."

"Just like your story!"

The male jumps from his spot into the air and is just about to strike the dark blue haired male before him.

A red head pulls Isagi down from the kick making it miss.

"What's his problem. Disgusting guy." The red head, Chigiri Hyoma says.

"In my eyes you are the slime, you tanning bed antenna head." Another one joins in, Bachira Meguru.

"It's all natural tan~", the blonde responds.

A hand lands on the antenna heads shoulder. Your hand.

"Hey. Don't go around trying to start a fight." You look him in the eyes while your grip gets tighter.

"Oh~ Another hero to send to hell or something~?" The blonde grins.

"I don't give one fuck about what you'll do but just so you know if you continue you will be kicked out then it was all for nothin' and you'll also land in 'hell'." You smile it him while his grin disappears and his eyes narrow at you.

"That's correct. You better listen to your fellow comrade." Egos sudden voice echos through the room.

"Also you have no time to worry about those who have been eliminated."

"Your football careers will maybe end up in the trash heap along with Blue Lock soon anyway."

Murmurs of disbelieve spread through the room.

"But first: good work.You suffered some incalculable defeats in the games against the world selection, didn't you?

I will explain their meaning another time."

"During the third selection I actually wanted to talk about language learning and...ehhmm...

narrow the circle down to the last five players, but ...the plan has changed."

'Changed to what...?'

"It seems that the bigwigs of Japanese football want to shut down Blue Lock as quickly as possible." Another wave of disbelieve rushed through the crowd.

"That's why I promised them a challenge."

"And that means the next selection is in three weeks.The fight for the survival of Blue Lock."

"Japans U20-Nationalteam against the Blue Lock 11. An endgame of a special kind."

"If we should win this ...

the U20 will become part of Blue Lock."

"They except such conditions?" A dark blonde from the crowd asks.

"Well they think that it's impossible for them to loose. Their rivals are afterall just 35 high schoolers thrown together."

"And when they heard that you were all strikers, they laughed contemptuously and readily agreed.

Their goal is to dismantle the Blue Lock project and use the hype surrounding the game to attract fans and generate revenue."

'Bastards' you hear someone from the crowd whisper.

"In the end, we will probably lose and become a laughing stock... and as an example of a failed training ... go down in the history of Japanese football."

"Well, when you hear all this ... How do you feel about it? Be honest."

"Are you annoyed that people look down on you?"

"Are you eager to prove them wrong?"

"In your current condition ...

each of you can turn Japanese football."

"But netherless, our rivals will play 100%. The U20 against which you'll play has got one additional member."

"..."

Ego gets replaced by a picture of a shirtless male with reddish hair and teal eyes.

"It was decided that Itoshi Sae shall play in the national team for the first time ever."

'Itoshi? Like Itoshi ... Rin." Your head turns to look at the black haired male, he has widened eyes as he stares up at the screen.

"So my diamonds in the rough ... You're the ones to create a new era within football."
