The grass would be rubbing Rins knees the wrong way, as he sat there dumbfounded as the loud whistle for the soccer game to be over was blown by the referee, it had been a hard match with its ups and downs but blue lock had managed to win by 2 more points against the U20 Japan team. Despite that triumph, Rin felt.. unsatisfied with this win mostly because his older brother whom had played for the U20 hadn't even noticed him much at all! This was hurting Rin to no end until he noticed his brother walking up to him, so he quickly lifted his head up while he started to get his hopes up..

“onii-san...”

Rin would start to speak up as excitement bubbles in his chest before his older brother Sae cut him off.

“Rin.. It turns out I was wrong. I thought that Japan was incapable of ever giving birth to decent forwards. He even managed to summon his instincts. The one who will be able to change football in this country... is Yoichi Isagi..”

Sae would admit to Rin.. That caused Rin to lose his excited expression as his hope of his brother ever noticing him was absolutely crushed into a million pieces, this wasn't fair! , why did his brother noticed stupid Yoichi and not him!? This.. was all so stupid to Rin, especially since he was staring at the grassy field now underneath his knees as tears trickle down his cheeks now.

“This isn't... Right, it should've been me he acknowledged!...”
