Three Days Later-
Isagi, Raichi, and Naruhaya were on the treadmill, Isagi wanted to do some strength training but Raichi challenged him to compete as he was confident in holding for longer than the first day
The results were more devastating for Raichi as Isagi was even better today and broke his own time by 40Min., Which was best among them all
Everybody followed the schedule daily and now went to have a meal, Kira became somewhat close to Isagi with Igaguri joining in to have a chat with one of the best in the Team
Isagi didn't have to go through the same tasteless food like Isagi and got food befitting of the training, But understood that for his healing factor to work effectively, He needed to eat more than his hunger
Everyday Isagi followed the schedule and at Night he trained for at least 3 hours, He woke up early and left the room to train and saw Bachira, He usually trains at night and sleeps at midnight but chose to change the time for today because of this canon event of one on one practice with Bachira
"Yo!, Solo Training?, How about we train together?"
Bachira said to Isagi who nodded and followed to the pitch
.
.
.
"Hey Isagi, Were you a defender in your past life, You're good at it"
Bachira said as he was impressed with the way Isagi was pressing Bachira and making tackles
"Ack-, Maybe I was, Who knows right, You're really good at dribbling by the way"
Isagi was taken back by Bachira's accurate conclusion, Even though he was joking it made Isagi tense up a little bit
"You know, I came to Blue Lock to find a Monster I could play with and I think I've found one"
Bachira said as he dribbled past Isagi with a Rainbow Flick
Isagi had to admit that even after his experience in the top leagues, Bachira's Dribbling was much better and was more accurate without making any mistakes
Even top-class players make mistakes during dribbles but Bachira was accurate with his touch which made it harder for Isagi to stop him, Same could be said for him since he at least stopped Bachira a couple of times but he was unstoppable and dribbled past Bachira all the time
The training ended as Bachira's talk about the Monster also ended and they went towards their room, As they entered the speakers informed them that their data for the last three days had been registered and their Ranks had been updated
Igaguri saw them entering and showed his Rank which wasn't surprising to Isagi
Ranking-
265- Kira Ryosuke
266- Isagi Yoichi
267- Meguru Bachira
268- Rensuke Kunigami
269- Hyoma Chigiri
270- Jingo Raichi
271- Gin Gagamaru
272- Asahi Naruhaya
273- Yudai Imamura
274- Okuhito Iemon
275- Gurimu Igarashi
Isagi saw his rank and smiled as now he was ranked 2nd which was Bachira's spot, Everybody expected it but seeing it happening was different, Among all Isagi's exploding growth was scary for all
Ego appeared on the screen to halt the celebration of a few and informed them about how they are weakest and lowest of the Blue Lock Project and gave them a goal to get that lavish lifestyle by boosting their skills, After that he started explaining the Blue Lock's First Selection and how the team of forwards will play and gave the speech which gave chills to even Isagi making him understand the pressure the Characters were in front of this dude, He would make a good commander for an army
Creating Football from 0 with all forwards was going to be chaotic and Isagi didn't want to experience that Chaos, The team they would play is going to be Team X, Barou's Team
"So, since everyone wants to play forward, which is impossible, and some of us need to play Mid-Field, defense, and Goalie, how will we decide those positions?"
Kira took the initiative to stop the quarrel as everyone was voicing out their desire to play forward
"How 'bout a Rock-Paper-Scissor game?"
Igaguri proposed to everyone and most of them seemed to agree with his suggestion
"What? No!, You guys might be willing to leave your position in the Team based on luck but I'm not, I don't want luck I want my strengths to put me in those positions"
Isagi didn't like the idea of the game to win position and spoke up, He wanted to make a team that would showcase their talents, Gagamaru a striker ended up being a Goalkeeper of Bastard Munchen to stop the best strikers in the world
Raichi also showed immense growth as a Defender from the very start of Blue Lock
"Then what do you propose?"
Kunigami asked after hearing tireless bickering
"Don't you remember we have a Ranking System here, Even then we don't know one's strengths and weaknesses so we will talk and understand each other's play and set a formation, How's that?"
Isagi said as he sat on the ground and started drinking water, half of the players had agreeing look while others didn't like this Idea, Specially because they were ranked lower and would not get to play as a forward at all
Igaguri was making a scene but Isagi and others didn't care and started explaining their weapons to all, This would've happened after Chigiri and Isagi figured out the meaning of creating football from 0 and how a weapon could make a team, a hierarchy
Everybody explained their weapons and even Igaguri joined in sharing his qualities, As Bachira explained everybody looked at Isagi and Kira, Prompting them to speak up
"My weapon is my Dribbling, Long-Shots, and Acceleration"
Kira said while concluding his Weapon's list and looked towards Isagi
"My Weapon is my Dribbling, Vision, Perfect Shooting Accuracy and Endurance"
Raichi had a doubtful look towards Isagi after hearing about his aim, But only time could tell since according to how everyone described themselves Isagi's weapon stood out the most since they knew about his endurance which is already unbelievable so trusting his words for now was reasonable
"So how are we deciding?"
Raichi asked as he was losing patience with this position play because he had already decided to play his own way
"We will let those in high rank decide their position, As you can see that I want 6th in the team but I'm second now, It shows that you can get a higher rank with effort, So let's keep it that way, You will get to choose your position according to your rank, I know some would find it unsettling but other teams would also have 11 players and you cannot score a goal all by yourself to become a top scorer of the team, If you're dreaming of that then Get out of the formation already instead of slowing us down on the field, I don't want to look your embarrassing moments in the front seat
We need to win as a team by combining our strengths, The formation we should play would b-, Wait before that, Gagamaru can you take the position of Goalkeeper?"
