Stupid Ego. Today was supposed to be the day for the match against Team V, but he told them that he rescheduled the match for the next day instead. He had invited his old soccer students and the two of them had arrived today. Ego had said that their flight was rescheduled to a week earlier so they had arrived in Japan early.
It was infuriating. Isagi so badly wanted to play against Nagi, see who is the better player. But now he had to wait a whole day so he would find out whether Team Z would pass the First Selection or not. He needed a way to release his pent up frustration.
As he walked down the halls of Blue Lock, his mind slipped sideways to earlier when Ego's students arrived. Nobody expected them to be girls. But Ego had said that they were professional teen players from England. And considered the two of them better than most players in Blue Lock. Heck, he said he'd place them in Team C or D if they were participants.
It was when Ego said that the two girls would be their trainers, helping them to improve, that most Blue Lock participants just snapped. They couldn't believe that they would be trained by measly girls. And for Ego to tell them that they were better than most of them? That hurt their egos quite a bit.
So one of the girls proposed a match. To see who was truly better. Two of them versus a whole team. A 2v11. It was absurd but they accepted the match. They chose Team Z. Isagi was surprised they chose his team. But he was curious to see how good they were at soccer.
Boy, was the entire team surprised. Not only were the girls better than them by a long shot, they beat them easily. 4 points to 1. And that was when it was 2 of them and 11 (10. Kuon didn't participate) of them. It was embarrassing since everyone else was watching. But they proved that they were currently superior.
He shook his thoughts from his head as he entered the soccer field. He was surprised to see one of the girls training there. Saki. Was that her name? He recalled that her speed rivals Chirigri's.
