Fem Kira

You were... well, depressed. You were tired of life recently. Everything had been... predictable? Frustrating? You didn’t know... it had all been questionable. With dots around the edges.

You won another game today... Obviously, you did. It was Japan. Nobody was good... besides you.

After you went home, you started watching TV. Everything you saw was bland and boring. You saw all the same plays over and over again. Then you started watching a game, and one player instantly caught your attention: Yoichi Isagi.

He was running his way down the field, and he was about to shoot. It was going to be a beautiful kick. For a moment, you thought that maybe... just maybe, you could find this kid and train him. Give yourself a challenge.

But at the last second, he passed.

You sighed and scrambled for your remote. He thought he couldn’t be a striker, just like everyone else. But then his teammate missed horribly. The ball hit the rim and bounced up into the air.

Then your eyes dilated as you saw Kira. She seemed to be the only girl on the team. Not only that, but it seemed like she knew exactly what was going to happen. She shot as soon as she got the opportunity...

There it was. Either your perfect student... or a disappointment.

You turned off the TV and went to sleep.

Once you woke up, you almost completely forgot about her. You went on with your day until you came home late at night. You realized you had mail, so you checked what was in your mailbox.

You saw a note and realized you had been invited to Blue Lock.

“It’s about damn time...”

You weren’t happy. After all, you knew you should have been invited to something like this a long time ago.

The next day, you showed up and walked inside the building. The first thing that caught your attention was the sheer number of people. Then you realized your little striker girl was here.

You remembered her little play.

She walked inside with Isagi, but you brushed him aside and started talking to Kira. Isagi stood there in shock for a bit, but before he could say anything, Ego came out and explained why everyone was there.

To you, it sounded like the basic promises any coach would make. Nothing special.

But Isagi was the first to run up to the stage.

What a hypocrite, you thought to yourself.

However, Isagi started a trend. Then everyone began following him, including Kira. You sighed, and after a while, you also started walking.

But before you could enter, you stopped and turned back toward Ego.

“You said there are going to be different teams depending on your skill, right?”

Ego nodded slightly.

“Correct...” he said.

You answered right back.

“I already know what rank I’ll be... You don’t have to tell me. But I request that you put me on the weakest team. You said you wanted the strongest striker in the world, right? Then make me struggle. I’ll give you exactly what you want.”

Ego hesitated for a moment, thinking about what to say.

“I hear your request. If you’re confident, then yes... I shall. But don’t be surprised if you lose.”

You smirked widely before walking right past Ego.

You made your way to the Team Z room and got changed. Afterwards, you spotted Kira. Her suit was tight on her, clearly not meant for her.

You started chatting with her again, making her blush slightly with your confidence.

Ego once more interrupted your little chat, this time through a TV. He explained what the first game was going to be as the ball fell from the sky.

You deliberately got tagged a couple of times just so you could kick the ball right back at Igaguri. You thought it was cute when he got hit point-blank by your powerful shot.

After getting hit, he backed away from you.

Shortly afterward, Bachira started getting active. You watched as the crazy man went wild, going after almost everyone.

Surprisingly, Bachira targeted Kira.

Isagi and Bachira teamed up, too?

With only a couple of seconds left on the board, Bachira passed the ball to Isagi. He kicked it, and it was about to hit Kira.

But at the last second, you caught the ball and hit Igaguri with it.

Team Z watched in shock as Igaguri was eliminated.

“Stop being foolish... I’m the best player in here. Then Kira. You seriously just wanted me to have a hard time winning any damn game, huh? Imagine if I weren’t here... You would have lost your best player, and I highly doubt you would have won any games. It’s quite obvious why you guys are the weakest team,” you claimed.

A bit afterward, maybe an hour before your actual first game, Kira walked up to you.

“Hey!” she started, looking up at you as you gave her your attention.

“Why did you do that? Save me, I mean...” she asked quietly after a while of silence.
