Manshine City Vs FC Barcha
Reo rushed up the field leaning on Nagi saying, "This is the end, Nagi!"
Nagi tried to use some strength but then thought, 'What the? Has his physiques gotten this much better? I can't stop him!'
Yosuke passed up the field shouting, "Score Striker!" as Reo trapped the ball and then shot he ball emulating Koji's volley from the U20 match as the ball hit the back of the net.
Manshine City (5) [Reo, Kunigami, Reo, Chigiri, Reo] : FC Barcha (2) [Nagi, Nagi]
Nagi fell onto his ass looking at Yosuke and thought, 'He blocked every one of Bachira's shots and at least 10 of mine. He's incredible.' Nagi then looked to Reo and thought, 'Reo got a hat trick. He's become amazing.'
Reo smiled and said, "We won. I won." He looked to Nagi and said, "Better luck next time Nagi but even if you do have better luck. I'll win again."
Reo smirks as Nagi says, "I still beat you and Yousuke twice."
Reo punches him in the arm affectionately and says, "Well I beat you three times."
Nagi laughs at this and says, "Yeah you did" as the two hug each other by the shoulders while sitting in the grass.

Bastard Munchen Vs PXG
Sae walked out onto the field. He had been there watching the Bastard Munchen Vs PXG match closely in person as Rin sees him, his eyes widening as he says, "Sa...Sae?"
Sae walks up to Rin and says, "I saw your match. You beat him once. The other time the lunkhead helped you so that time it doesn't count. But still not bad Rin."
Rin grits his teeth and says, "Once isn't enough."
Sae nods and says, "That's true. Unless you can do it consistently you'll never be the best."
Rin glares at Koji and says, "I'll beat him."
Sae looks to Rin and asks, "Back then. Do you remember that day? The day I came back from Spain?"
Rin looks confused and asks, "Why are you talking about that day?"
Sae sighs, looks up and says, "In Spain, I tried my best against the top of the world and I began to be able to compete with Leonardo Luna a bit but eventually... my abilities as a striker... plateaued. There was no longer any room for growth. When I looked at my other skills there was still room to grow. From that, I found out the truth. That the coaches that had told me to be a midfielder since middle school were right. That was what I was born to be. The greatest Midfielder in the world. I hated that. I despised that those fuckers were right about me."
Rin feels sadness from hearing this story gritting his teeth in anger at the thought of Luna as he says, "Sae..."
Sae looked to Rin and said, "Still I put up with it thinking you'd become the best striker. The Itoshi Brothers would be the best in the world together. We'd win the Champions League together. That's what I thought. It was only after we met again that I realised that my younger self had stifled your Ego."
Rin looked confused asking, "You... Stifled my ego...?"
Sae then says, "I told you to be the second-best striker after me... I never should have told you that. I should have told you to compete with me but... I saw it... the undeniable talent in that first kick. That first goal you ever made. It was beautiful but it..." Sae gritted his teeth and then said, "... scared me that you could do that with no training when I'd worked so hard for something like that."
Rin looked shocked thinking, 'It scared him?'
Sae sighs and says, "But now that dream as well is dead."
Rin looks up at Sae in confusion saying, "Huh?"
Sae then says, "Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. He will undoubtedly be the best in the world. In the exhibition match, I thought you might be able to catch up, but I was mistaken. The one who will lead Japan to the U20 Cup will be that striker. That Egoist. The Blue Lock Masterpiece Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. He is the reason I came to watch this match."
Rin looked enraged at Sae thinking, 'You fucking bastards!!! Itoshi Sae! Ayanokoji Kiyotaka! The both of you! I'll kill the both of you!!!'
Sae looks to the monitor and says, "And for one more reason" making Rin feel confused.
The announcer smiles and says, "It's time for the final bids of the Neo-Egoist League!"

13- Tabito Karasu: 130, 000, 000 From PXG
Karasu smirked and thought, 'So they saw me stop Ayanokoji's play and jacked up my price? Kaching. Heh heh.'

11- Bachira Meguru: 175, 000, 000 From FC Barcha

The announcer smirked and said, "Now it's time for the top 10!"
10- Kurona Ranze: 180, 000, 000 From Athletico Maduro
Kurona looked surprised and thought, 'Athletico? What is going on?'

8- Isagi Yoichi: 200, 000, 000 From Athletico Maduro

6- Shidou Ryusei: 250, 000, 000 From PXG
The announcer looked excited as he shouted, "Now the Top 5!"
5- Nagi Seishiro: 290, 000, 000 From Manshine United
Lavinho looked annoyed as he thought, 'United is trying to snatch up Seishiro? Probably feeding into the rivalry between him and Reo and the rivalry they have with City.'
4- Mikage Reo: 350, 000, 000 From Manshine City
The announcer was extremely excited now as he shouted, "The Top 3!"
3- Yosuke Hirata: 400, 000, 000 From Athletic Maduro
Chris's face used with rage as he thought, 'Those fuckers. How dare they try to steal my golden goose.' This was justified as Yosuke was the man of the match against Ubers and FC Barcha having blocked so many shots it was unbelievable.
2- Itoshi Rin: 600, 000, 000 From Athletic Maduro
Rin looked shocked thinking, 'Is this why Sae came here? Because I'm a potential new rival?'
Loki looked a bit annoyed but then thought, 'Good riddance you disobedient brat.'
1- Ayanokoji Kiyotaka: 900, 000, 000 From Re Al
Everyone was dumbfounded as Koji thought, 'I figured they'd try something like this.'
Sae then said, "That's why I'm here. I will convince him to join Re Al and together after the World Cup ends we will win the champion's league. The world's best Midfielder and the soon-to-be world's best Striker. We'll be unstoppable."
Rin gets up and says, "I'll destroy the both of you" and then walks away.
Sae walks over to Koji and says, "You should join Re Al."
Koji looks at him and says, "As long as you don't compensate for me with your passes. I want passes that are difficult to reach. Push me to my limit."
Sae smirks and asks, "What do you think I've been training for this entire time?"
Ness walks up to Koji when Koji turns to him and says, "It was nice while it lasted Ness. We'll meet again one day. In the World Cup."
Ness looks to Koji and says, "Don't leave me here."
Koji sighs and says, "Don't attach yourself to me. If you want to so badly then find me in Re Al. Grab their attention. Otherwise use what you learned and mix your magic with other worthy Strikers."
Ness closes his eyes takes a deep breath and says, "I will make it to Re Al."
Koji pats him on the head and says, "I'll be waiting then."
The Announcer then says, "A new Ofer For Alexis Ness. 130, 000, 000"
Ness looks happy at his new bid thinking, 'I need a higher bid before Re Al notices me but still. I'm on my way.'
The announcer then says, "Re Al has withdrawn their offer For Michael Kaiser. His new offer is... 300, 000, 000 from Bastard Munchen."
Kaiser looks devastated as Koji says, "What's wrong Kaiser? Sad from being worth only a third of my value?"
Kaiser looked pissed thinking, 'Fuck giving up on football! I'll destroy you in the World Cup you bastard!' as Koji turned and walked away.

With Isagi
Isagi returned home to see his parents. His face looked the same as Sae's when he had returned to Japan from Spain as his mother called to him saying, "Yo-...Chan."
His Father smiled saying, "Yoichi. You got signed by a team in Spain. We're so proud of..."
Their smiles faded when seeing his face as Isagi then said, "I'm so full of shit. Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. In a world where he plays football becoming the world's best striker isn't possible for me."
His Father felt sympathy as he said, "Yoichi... it's okay. let's go home and..."
Isagi grips his own neck roughly as his parents look concerned running towards him to try to stop him as Isagi says, "Even if it kills me I'll crush his dreams. From here on out becoming the world's best striker doesn't matter to me anymore."
His parents grab his arm trying to get him to release his grip shouting, "Yoichi stop!"
Isagi lets go thinking, 'From now on crushing Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's dream is everything to me. I'll fucking murder him.'
—————————————————————————————————————
With Koji
Koji returned to Tokyo to find Suzune, Yosuke, Miichan, Sakayanagi, Ryuen, Ichinose and Shibata waiting. He could hear them talking as Miichan said, "You were so amazing out there Hirata-Kun!"
Yosuke smiled and said, "Thank you so much Miichan."
Koji looks at them and says, "It's good to see you all."
They walk over and pat him on the back as Suzune says, "You were amazing out there Kiyotaka."
Koji hugs Suzune as Shibata says, "Well, I was completely wrong. You're actually amazing."
Ichinose then says, "You were so amazing Ayanokoji-Kun!"
Sakyanagi smirks and says, "The Blue Lock Masterpiece indeed."
Koji sighed thinking, 'It was you huh?'
Ryuen smirks and says, "Mastepiece? More like monster."
Ichinose looks to Ryuen and says, "Hey! That's not very nice Ryuen-Kun!"
Koji looks around and asks, "Where is Sudo?"
Suzune gets a call on her phone and says, "Well let's hear it straight from him" as she answers the phone.
Sudo was in a plane seat, looking nervous as Koji asked, "Oh, so you've been scouted?"
Sudo smiled nervously and said, "Yeah I have."
Koji smiled and said, "There's no need to be so nervous. You're going to be the best in the world, right? Face every obstacle and surpass yourself, and you'll do fine."
Sudo smiled and said, "Yeah... you're right. Wait... that's the philosophy of that Blue Lock place right? Ego?"
Koji smiled and said, "Yes. Ego. As long as you have strong Ego and the skills to back it up you can reach the top of the world."
Then Sudo said, "Oh. Um, we're landing soon. I gotta hang up. I'll talk to you guys later."
Everyone said bye as Sudo hung up and the group walked away to begin hanging out.

With Isagi
Isagi arrived in Spain heading straight to Athletico Maduro. He walked into the Manager's office as he asked, "Thank you for seeing me. I want to know why you made a bid for me? I can't become the best striker in the world."
The manager smirked and said, "You don't seem so down about it thought. Is it because you're still determined to defeat the man who crushed your dream?"
Isagi nodded and said, "I'll do whatever it takes."
The manager laughed and said, "Then we have a common goal since Athletico Maduro has been losing to Re Al for the longest time since Itoshi Sae joined. With Ayanokoji Kiyotaka joining Re Al we need an overhaul on our team. We've been scooping up new talent because of this."
Isagi looked at him and asked, "Where do I fit in this?"
The manager looked at him and said, "You'll be our midfielder."
Isagi looked up and thought, 'Midfielder...'
The manager sighed and said, "We'll train you in everything you need to..."
Isagi sighs and says, "Fine. As long as my passes can help me defeat Ayanokoji I don't care abut anything else."
The manager smiles as they shake hands.
—————————————————————————————————————
With Koji and Suzune
Slowly people started to leave as Koji and Suzune were left alone and Koji said, "Suzune. You saw right? That Re Al gave me a 900, 000, 000 bid."
Suzune nodded and asked, "You're taking it right? That means we'll be separated for a while but it's okay... I... understand..."
Koji looked at her and said, "I want you to come with me."
Suzune looked surprised and asked, "You're... serious?"
Koji sighed and said, "I don't want to be separated from you so back your bags. You can think of it as a vacation before the World Cup."
Suzune stumbled with her words for a second but then said, "Um. Okay. I'll pack my bags."
Koji smiled as the two walked back to their apartment.
