"When I think about people like you shouldering the future of the national team, I despair. Football is ultimately about scoring more goals than the other team. Goals are everything! Those who can score are the greatest!"
"So if you still want to go back to high school, don't waste your time. Get out of here." Ego Jinpachi waved his hands at everyone in disdain.
"Football is a sport for 'egoists'. It doesn't matter what the team is like, as long as I perform well; rather than winning, I would rather choose to get a hat trick myself."
"What do you think? These are all the words spoken by the world's top players! Too bad, right!"
"But only such bad 'egoists' can rule the court!"
Ego Jinpachi leaned back sharply and did a JOJO stand, but his words became more and more provocative, gradually beginning to bewitch people's hearts.
"Imagine that when the score is deadlocked, you control the ball in the last minute, facing the goalkeeper alone, and a teammate is running out of space on the other side.
You can win the game by just passing it."
"With everyone's expectations on your shoulders, in the face of the final choice of victory and honor"
"You don't even look at it, and you kick the ball without any thinking or hesitation."
"Only this kind of madman, this level of 'egoist' is what I want!"
"Abandon all common sense, there is always only you on the court, A protagonist, thinking and fighting only for his own goal. There is only one goal in playing football, that is to score a goal!"
"Only regard 'your' goal as the supreme joy, live only for scoring a goal——"
"This is a striker, right?"
The door behind Ego Janpachi opened, he adjusted his glasses, shielded his crazy eyes, opened his hands, and his thin body was indeed very tall in the eyes of the teenagers. The backlit figure could not see his expression, like a guide leading the confused lambs into heaven.
But Kira knew that the road was not as great as it appeared. It was a door leading to absolute error, madness, absurdity, and no idea what the road ahead was. Ego Janpachi, who bewitched them to step into it, was a complete devil and a madman!
Ta... Ta...
Footsteps sounded, and Kira realized that Arthur had walked to the front of the dozen of people without knowing when: "Well that speech was quite long I already started falling asleep."
"If you become the world's number one, everything you say will be right. Even if you say that goals are worthless and defense can win the championship, people will believe it. After all, history is written by the winners."
"But putting all this aside, isn't it interesting, this plan? Beating everyone to become the number one, how exciting!"
"History is written by the victors? Sure enough, I was not wrong!"
"You guys are the craziest 'egoist'!"
I don't know whether it was because of Arthur example or his words that inspired the young people's competitive spirit, and everyone rushed into the gate one after another without hesitation.

The system's light panel reflected in his mind, and Arthur, who was lying on the seat of the bus with his eyes closed, raised a grin. 'Sure enough! After entering the main story, the number of EPs will skyrocket!'
"I shall gather enough EPs to—"
"Destroy them all."

"It's necessary for the kit to be this tight ." Arthur looked at his new kit in Blue Lock.
"No. #, in the third room of Building #, your rank is 243rd." Arthur didn't care about his ranking as he headed on to meet his new teammates.
"Oh, it seems that everyone is here, all the 'talented gems in rough'." Ego's lifeless face appeared on the screen in the room, "These guys in the same room now are teammates and competitors who will help improve each other."
"I quantified your abilities with my arbitrariness and prejudice, and ranked them. Ah, that is, the numbers on your clothes. The larger the number, the lower the ranking. It's very simple and easy to understand."
"The ranking will be adjusted through training and competition results, and the top 5 can unconditionally participate in the U20 competition later."
"By the way, those who are eliminated in the blue lock will never be able to enter the national team in their lifetime."
"As I said just now, football is a sport for 'egoists'. To win here, you need to be 'selfish'. Next, we will conduct a test to measure your degree of selfishness."
"It is time for a game of tag."
A football fell from the top of the room, and Ego began to explain the rules: "The time limit is 136 seconds. Anyone who touches the ball is tagged. At the moment the countdown ends, the tagged will pack up and leave."
"In addition, handball is prohibited. If it touches your hand, it will be Game Over. That's it." On the big screen, Ego avatar disappeared, and was replaced by a avatar figure representing the current tagged identity.
Arthur, the one currently being tagged, walked slowly towards the ball while inspecting his surroundings for any main characters.
The moment he reached the ball, the air seemed to thicken in the room as everyone was visibly tense but he didn't cared as he started juggling with the ball.
'Besides the Blue Sadist, it looks like my team is formed of NPCs.'

The moment the clock hit 10 seconds, Arthur sent a power shot right at one of the walls as the ball began to bounce rapidly through the room as the players started running like headless chickens.

The ball finally found its target, hitting a guy straight in the face, knocking him off.

At the same time, the countdown ended, and the big screen also displayed the information of the person who was tagged at the last moment.
It was NPC 9
"Hey? I... I was eliminated? Why? Why! Why shoot me?! I was just one step away from staying! Isn't there a guy ranked after me?! Why did you eliminate me?"
The extra who was hit knelt on the ground in disbelief, ignoring the blood rushing out of his nose, and roared.
Arthur scratched his head: "Unlucky day for you, I guess?"
