narration interlude - 1.04k words
You take a deep breath before pressing the soundboard, the chime that indicates the start of the announcement echoing in the hallways of Blue Lock.
“Yo chat walk out yall’s rooms and grab your individual report. Head over to the main intercom and line up. After my introduction as manager with Ego I’ll add personal comments.”
“Couldn’t you be any more professional.”
“Ego shut yo ahh all you do is-” A muffled voice was heard before a chime resounded, indicating the announcement was over.
𝖱𝗈𝗈𝗆 1 (𝖼𝖺𝗇𝗈𝗇 𝗋𝗈𝗈𝗆)
“...Is she okay…?” Isagi mumbled, albeit making his way out of the room with the rest. They opened the doors, papers flying upwards before gently falling like a forgotten, wilted leaf. Hiori and Yukimiya are the first to catch on, craning their heads to figure out which papers were their reports and catching it before it could drop on the ground.
Isagi and Kurona caught on only after the both of them, squatting down to find their scattered reports. The reports were accurate, detailed. Horrifyingly precise.
Yoichi Isagi - Report for Japan U20 vs Nigeria U20
Isagi was one of the key performance indicators in this match, skillfully yet subtly controlling the tempo of attacks. By adjusting it to a suitable one for Japan’s team, it was one of the key factors that led to Japan’s landslide victory. Furthermore, Isagi has linked the midfielders and attackers effectively, showcasing his strong decision making and field vision.
Strengths:
Superior spatial awareness
Exceptional game intelligence
Strong leadership and adaptability
Creates chances through careful, intentional positioning
Weaknesses:
Individual physical strength
Continuing to read the game instead of forcing individual breakthroughs may slow down evolvement
Weak consistency and reproduction of goals
Calculates more than reacts instinctively
Isagi’s mouth parts, his pupil dilated as he flips to the next page, this time analysing his thought process. How did you even know that??? “This is insane…” Hiori mutters to himself, his eyes following his own paper, the cutting words filling him with awe yet dread. Isagi’s 3rd page broke down his ‘dream’ him and the 4th taught him how to achieve that dream with steps vague enough for freedom but specific enough for guidance. The last and final page consisted of a singular, short paragraph:
“Analysis doesn’t guarantee perfection, and so does instinct. Conclude a formula that can blend the two and a third variable figured from an individual breakthrough that will form the highest chance of victory.”
Everyone was on their last page too, the air in the room more tense than ever. “...Are you all done reading too?” Yukimiya cut through the tense air, his shoulders stiff. Kurona was the first to nod, Hiori and Isagi following after. The four of them made their way to the intercom room, passing by other dorm rooms which seemed less tense and more dramatic.
Room 2 (Shidou, Karasu, Otoya, Kiyora)
“Nnh~ Her insults are making me throb, and I don’t just mean my heart~” That line was said by none other than Shidou. “I think I just fell in love with her more.” Otoya added on, nodding with full seriousness. The 4 quicken their pace a little, reaching the 3rd room.
Room 3 (Rin, Nanase, Tokimitsu, Zantetsu)
“W-were my plays really that bad?! I mean, mean, I know that-” Tokimitsu’s distinctive forever-anxious voice shrieked, being cut off by Rin’s impassive tone. “Shut the hell up, I can’t read anything if you keep on talking.” Irritation was dangerously laced in his voice.
“What does ‘fortitude’ mean? Does it refer to my physical strength or altitude? What does altitude mean?” You could practically hear Zantetsu push up his glasses. The last thing the 4 of them heard was Nanase and Tokimitsu frantically trying to stop Rin from whatever attack he was doing.
Room 4 (Nagi ignore how hes locked off i love him okay so he’s staying, Reo, Chigiri, Kunigami)
“If we’re all done reading, we can start walking towards the main intercom.” Reo concluded, clapping his hands together to get everyone’s attention. “Wait, Nagi hasn’t read anything yet. He was waiting for me to read it to him.” Chigiri perked up, combing through his hair.
Said Nagi was scrolling through his phone, texting you instead of reading his report. Reo draws out an exasperated sigh.
Room 5 (Aryu, Aiku, Barou, Niko)
“What a glamorous report, save for her last comment.” Aryu clutched his forehead as his hair swept up majestically. Niko peeked over in curiosity. There, on Aryu’s last page:
“Aryu planning on coming to the bench?”
Niko sneaked back to his original position, ducking his head low to conceal his laughter.
Room 6 (Bachira, Gagamaru, Raichi, Sendou)
“What does she mean by calling me shark teeth?!” Raichi yelled, knocking over something in the process. Gagamaru puts a hand under his chin, looking closely at Raichi. “Your teeth are kinda like a shark’s…”
Isagi and the rest ran away this time, whistling to pretend they couldn’t hear the fighting noises.

“Heyhey, is this thing on?” Ego poked at the mic, a loud, screeching sound coming out from it. “Goddamn you still don’t know how to use electronics. My grandma could control a plane better than you can use a phone.” You walked out from behind the stage, a notebook clutched in your hands. Ego ignored you.
“How were your reports, you lumps of talent? They were written by none other than your new manager, Y/N L/N. After that match with France, I must say I was quite disappointed. It appeared apparent to me that you all couldn’t survive without more help, so I got manager Y/N here for you all.”
You bowed politely, though the smile on your face looked more unsettling than courteous. “Nice to meet you, Blue Lock.”
“Playing nice now?” Ego taunted. You lifted your head, looking them dead in the eyes. “I don’t play nice. I don’t play at all, I observe. Do not fret Blue Lock - your future will be led by me, and I guarantee the best one for you.”
The room collectively shivered. “As you can see, your manager has an Ego too. Blue Lock’s philosophy is set in stone.” You finished your speech, the grin of Ego’s face the closest you will get to approval. "I'll just text ya'll the individual comments cus im sleepy, night." You send a half-hearted wave before disappearing behind the stage.
