Field
The teams walk out onto the field as Koji says, "Welcome."
Koji sees Team C and thinks, 'It is highly unlikely that so many of Nagi's former team members will be present here. Is this part of your plan, Ego?'
Bachira jumps on Koji saying, "I'm ready partner."
Chigiri walks up and says, "I seriously can't believe you and that guy managed to beat the World Five. You're monsters. Nishioka only barely got a goal in."
Koji looks at Chigiri and says, "The World Five weren't going all out. If they had the results would have been very different."
Chigiri sighs and says, "You still would've scored thought right?"
Koji smiles slightly and says, "Of course."
Chigiri smirks and says, "Look at you getting so confident. Sorry, but these legs will beat you today."
Koji looks him dead in the eyes and says, "If you think so then just try it. I'll break your career before those legs can break down on their own."
Chigiri sweats a little taking a step back as he smirks and says, "You're a goddamn psychopath."
Koji sighs and says, "Hurry up and use those legs to get back to your side of the field."
Chigiri smiles as he walks over to Nagi and Reo as the match starts. Nagi passes to Reo, who rushes up the field. Reo comes face-to-face with Raichi who says, "Hey buddy remember me? You wanna foul me don't you?"
Reo does a roulette past him emulating Nishioka and says, "Not interested you hack."
Raichi couldn't react as Reo moved up the field past Bachira. Reo saw Nagi open and passed the ball to him, saying, "Here's a perfect pass, Nagi!"
Ishikari jumps up and intercepts it, saying, "I don't really think so. It's a bit low for me."
Reo saw this thinking, 'So this is the tallest High School Footballer Ishikari.'
He passes to Rin who rushes past Reo and Nagi saying, "Too predictable lazy ass and slave."
Reo cursed as he ran after Rin, who completely overpowered him. Rushing past, he had Zantetsu and Chigiri pressuring him. Rin just shot the ball before they could get ahead, and Niko intercepted the ball. Koji arrived where the ball landed stopping in his tracks almost instantly as his hair blew in the wind and he said, "Your reaction time isn't as good as Yosuke, Niko" as he shot the ball into the goal.
Announcer: "Goal By Ayanokoji Kiyotaka." Team A2 (1) : Team C1 (0)
Koji walked back to his side thinking, 'Yousuke and Niko are very different defenders. Yosuke uses his instincts to find the danger areas while Niko uses calm analytical plays. Honestly Yosuke is better right now but still Niko still has areas he's better in. Those two together on the same team would be a deadly defence.'
Nagi started with the ball again passing to Reo who rushed up the field emulating Bachira and thinking, 'Come on Nagi. Get into position' when Koji arrives stealing the ball as he rushes past Zantetsu and Chigiri who try to react to him.
Koji rushes past them saying, "Too slow" as he slams his foot into the ball as it hits the back of the net with Niko being too slow to react in time.
Announcer: "Goal By Ayanokoji Kiyotaka." Team A2 (2) : Team C1 (0)
Chigiri looks at Koji and thinks, 'I really can't beat him in terms of speed. Damn it!.'
Zantetsu was also looking at Koji thinking, 'When he saw me accurate he did the same. He's better than me at my own weapon.'
Nagi started with the ball as Reo walked up Nagi said, "Reo. That's enough. I'll score in another way. Us working together isn't working in the slightest."
Reo was confused as he asked, "What are you talking about Nagi? We're a team. We'll become the best in the world together."
Nagi looked at him and said, "Sharing the top spot is a pain. I want it all to myself."
Reo was shocked as she asked, "What are you saying? Didn't you say we'd meet beyond our dreams?"
Nagi looked at him and said, "I know that I am but are you beyond our dreams?"
Reo made a shocked face as Nagi called over Chigiri as he passed to him and Chigiri rushed forward. Chigiri saw Rin run towards him as he passed to Zantetsu to avoid going one-on-one with Rin. Zantetsu rushes up like a bullet train as Bachira and Raichi box him in he makes a cross down the middle as Nagi stands in front of Koji and Rin thinking, 'Even if I score now I won't be satisfied. Not until I can score more times than Ayanokoji. Even though I know I'm not at that level yet I still want to score here. Just one time!'
The balls come to him as Nagi enters the flow state going into a shooting motion as Koji and Rin close the distance he traps it killing its energy and shifting it behind him to the side he goes into a jumping turn as he shoots the ball into the goal as Koji thinks, 'What the!? I've never seen that before.'
The ball hits the back of the net as Nagi smiles saying, 'This heat. This Ego. With it, I can even beat Ayanokoji.'
Announcer: "Goal By Nagi Seishiro." Team A2 (2) : Team C1 (1)
Koji smiles and says, "How exciting you've become Nagi Seishiro."
Nagi looks at Koji smirking and says, "Did you expect me to stay boring?"
Reo fell to his knees as he looked at this in despair thinking, 'Does Nagi... not need me anymore?'
Koji walked up to Reo and asked, "What exactly do you think you're doing Reo?"
Reo looked at Koji and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Koji looked at him disappointed and asked, "Why have you become a slave for Nagi again? Teamwork is good but when it hinders your abilities it posions your potential."
Reo instantly understood thinking, 'Even Nagi couldn't score because of me. Have we become poisonous to each other?'
Koji looked down at Reo and said, "I should have picked Yosuke" before walking away.
Koji starts with the ball passing to Bachira as the two of them rush through the field Chigiri and Zantetsu arrive to get in the way as Koji's eyes slit and he kicks the ball Niko dives in thinking he was a shot as Nagi is there but Rin traps the ball in front of him as Nagi thinks, 'That's... my move!' Rin knocks the ball to the side repositioning as he shoots the ball into the goal.
Announcer: "Goal By Itoshi Rin." Team A2 (3) : Team C1 (1)
Koji walks up to Rin and says, "Good goal. Two more to go."
Rin looks at Koji and says, "They're both mine."
Nagi passes to Reo and says, "Try scoring yourself Reo."
Reo emulates Nishioka's dribbling as he rushes forward with the ball thinking, 'I need to break free. I can't be tied to Nagi anymore. I need to become my own treasure!'
Reo rushes past Raichi when Koj shows up in front of him as Reo shoots the ball hits Koji's foot and flies off. It flies into the air as Rin goes to intercept it but Nagi is there as he says, "This should be how we work together Reo. Devouring each other."
Rin looks at Nagi and says, "Don't think you've made it through yet lazy shithead."
Nagi looks at Rin and says, "Sorry but I'm aiming to beat someone higher than you. Because of that even if it's a pain, I can't lose to you." and does a scorpion kick scoring.
Announcer: "Goal By Nagi Seishiro." Team A2 (3) : Team C1 (2)
Rin clicks his tongue in annoyance as he steps back to his side of the field as Koji says, "It's alright. Don't get worked up over nothing."
Koji starts with the ball as he passes to Rin and the two rush up the field. Rin tears down the defence singlehandedly like a maniac as he shoots but Reo emulating Yosuke blocks the shot saying, "Nope! Not happening you rabbid dog!"
Koji arrives at the spot shooting the ball as Niko blocks it saying, "Don't you dare forget about me!"
The ball lands at the feet of Bachira Meguru. Players start to swarm him as Chigiri and Zantetsu rush in. Bachira double-nutmegs them rushing in from the side as he shoots the ball into the goal shouting, "Boom!"
Announcer: "Goal By Bachira Meguru." Team A2 (4) : Team C1 (2)
Bachira smiled giving Koji a high-five as Koji said, "Nice goal. You saw where the ball was going to land on reflex."
Bachira smirked as Nagi started with the ball. Nagi thought to himself, 'I want a hat trick.'
Nagi passed to Reo who rushed up the field passing to Chigiri who rushed up the side. Chigiri made a pass to Zantetsu when he saw Rin approaching but Rin ran straight past not changing direction. Zantetsu saw this but only after already passing to Reo. Reo locked on to his target shooting when Koji controlled the ball saying, "Even if you find yourself free of your ties to Nagi now I won't make it so easy for you" and made a long pass down the field. Rin trapped the ball dribbling past Niko as he shot the ball into the goal.
Announcer: "Goal By Itoshi Rin." Team A2 (5) : Team C1 (2). Match Over.
Reo gritted his teeth in sadness as he thought, 'All that progress I made alone. Why did I let go of it the minute I was on the same team as Nagi again?'

Team B2 Vs C2
Reo emulated Bachira rouletting past Shidou as he saw the spot taking aim but he feinted as Nishioka slid in and he jumped over Nishioka emulating Rin as he volleyed the ball mid-air into the goal saying, "I won't poison myself ever again."
Announcer: "Goal By Mikage Reo." Team B2 (4) [Shidou, Nishioka, Shidou, Nishioka] : Team C2 (5) [Nagi, Nagi, Reo, Nagi, Reo]. Match Over.

Meeting Room
Rin entered the room looking around to see that Koji wasn't anywhere to be seen as he thought, 'Where the hell is he? This is an important meeting.'
Ego showed up in person and said, "I will now formally announce the line up for Team Blue Lock In Our Exhibition Match Against The Japanese U20 Team."
Goalkeeper: Gagamaru Gin
Gagamaru looked at it and said, "Oh. Me?"
Ego held his clipboard and said, "Explosive reaction time and a body on springs. You scored the highest on Goalkeeper aptitude. You'll be this team's guardian."
Left Centre-Back: Aryu Junpei
Ego looked at him and said, "A long body that can jump high up and control the airspace."
Right Centre Back: Ikki Niko
Ego shifted his gaze to Niko and said, "A sharp mind that can read the field."
Left Winger: Hajime Nishioka
Ego looks at Nishioka and says, "A player who carefully analyzes the field who likes to keep out of the spotlight until the critical moments. This position will suit you well."
Right Winger: Bachira Meguru
Ego looks to Bachira and says, "Contrasst Nishioka's calm and analytical dribbling with your chaotic and creative style on the Right Wing."
Left Defensive-Midfielder: Hirata Yosuke
Ego looked at Hirata and said, "You Hirata Yosuke are our most promising Defender. You are the only person in Blue Lock who managed to block shots from 4 out of 5 of the World Five. The only one you were unable to stop was Julien Loki. If someone is able to make it past you Niko and Aryu will certainly be bought enough time to compensate. In addition to this your passing ability is very good."
Yosuke smiles and says, "No one will get goals with me there sir."
Right Defensive-Midfielder: Karasu Tabito
Karasu smirks as Ego says, "You have some of the best ball-keeping skills in Blue Lock and your analytical senses will help you see opportunities."
Midfielder: Mikage Reo
Reo looks down and thinks, 'I'm being placed as a midfielder.' He gritted his teeth as he thought, 'It's my fault for attaching to Nagi again.'
Ego goes on saying, "Reo Mikage with your ability to make tactical plays and copy weapons you can be Blue Lock's driving force."
Left Striker: Barou Shoiei
Barou smirked thinking, 'Of course I was chosen I'm the King.'
Ego looks at Barou and says, "The Dark King Barou. You will create chaos on the field and upset the field by devouring everyone."
Right Striker: Nagi Seishiro
Ego looks to Nagi and says, "An excellent first touch that can kill the ball's momentum or give it new life. Nagi Seishiro you'll take this position."
Nagi looked surprised and thought, 'Me? But then Rin... is being benched?'
Centre Striker: Itoshi Rin
Ego then says, "With the second-highest performance in Blue Lock so far you'll be our goal-scorer Itoshi Rin."
Rin looked at the screen shocked thinking, 'Me? Why? Ayanokoji is better than me for now so why?'
Shidou clicked his tongue, looking annoyed thinking, 'I was benched huh?'
Rin looked up to Ego and shouted, "Are you insane? Where is Ayanokoji in the lineup? He's our best player and you're benching him?"
Ego sighed and said, "About that..."

Training Area
Koji was training by shooting the ball into the goal when he heard someone say, "Hey there Mr. Demon."
Koji turned to see someone and said, "You're... Itoshi Sae."
Sae looked at him and said, "You've got a quite an Ego. It's deceivingly calm and calculating. So much so that you don't notice how demonic it is. I want it."
Koji looked to Sae and asked, "So I'll be fighting against Blue Lock?"
Sae looked to Koji and said, "According to my agreement with Ego and the JFU you have no right to refuse."
Koji sighed softly and said, "I understand. We'll destroy them quickly."
