The day I first stepped onto the field as Sae Itoshi was a moment that felt both strange and exhilarating. The weight of his body was still foreign to me, yet it felt incredibly natural, like a glove slipping onto a hand. The intense focus, the sharpness of his senses, the ever-present awareness of the ball's movement—everything came to me almost instinctively.
According to my memory, blue lock project has already begun. So i was waiting for u20 match and i will definitely crush some of the players which sae forgot in original manga. With my talent enhanced and limitless potential. I wasn't afraid of anyone.
I was playing in a match against u20 team, but the players on the field weren't my concern. I wasn't here to showcase Sae's talent; I was here to adjust my control on the ball .
As I dribbled past defenders with fluidity that even Sae had mastered, I could feel the admiration of his skills, the excitement was the only thing i could feel .
*I am Sae Itoshi and I will be the greatest.*

The practice match ended with me scoring a goal that left the opposing team's goalkeeper frozen, helpless. A perfect shot, one that Sae would've never made in his original manga, not with the mindset of passing over shooting. I could feel the shift in the atmosphere, the way the world looked at me differently now.I now realized sae in the u20 arc didn't even try to win the game . Although it was only a mild interest in the project . Sae was only observing throughout the game .
But even as I basked in the fleeting moment of glory, my thoughts were elsewhere.
Rin.
Sae's brother. Rin Itoshi, the one person who could rival Sae in u20 arc . I may have memories of sae but I don't have his emotions taken over my own. Rin was my favorite character in blue lock so maybe i should acknowledge my brother now?
I will make him my teammate in the future because together, we could become unstoppable.

I returned to the locker room, still riding high from the game. As I sat down on the bench, the manager approached me with a smile.
"Sae, that was incredible out there," he said, clapping me on the back. "You've really outdone yourself. You're going to make waves in this world."
I offered him a smile,he was little shocked after seeing my smile but my thoughts were elsewhere. The accolades didn't matter. What mattered was Rin—and my plan to bring him into the field. If I was to truly evolve into the greatest, I needed Rin by my side or may be isagi ?
After all, Sae Itoshi had always been a stubborn for rin. But I, the reincarnated Sae, was destined to build a new future—one where I would change future events
And for that, I need him and it was almost time for u20 match . This time I won't choose shidou. Although he is good I don't need dogs who could score on my passes only. I want to face rin so i probably won't choose him either,isagi is out of question ,so who?
A few days passed before I finally choose nagi .It was obvious to choose him . Honestly, noone is better at this point. Nagi would be good one . He is still a prodigy, his talent undeniable .
Days passed and I was invited into the blue lock facility and choose nagi as u20 striker .Ego didn't say anything about nagi but( curious may be) he asked wgy i didn't choose rin . I simply told him that i want to test his capabilities in the match . I left the blue lock facility and nagi should be against world 5 right now so i didn't take him . I will get him 1 week before the match .
