U20 Match
Sendou passed to Sae who rushed up the field. Sae rushed up with the ball his aura leaking as he got past Bachira and jumped flicking the ball up as Yosuke slid beneath him cursing his mistake. Sae raced forward when Rin stood in his way and said, "It ends here Sae."
Sae looks at him and says, "Not bad Rin. Boxing me in like this."
Rin closed in, his tongue out as he stole the ball and rushed forward as Sae thought, 'Not even I can do it alone. If only someone could respond to my...'
Aiku suddenly arrived as Rin hadn't anticipated this causing Aiku to just barely knock the ball away from him as the ball spun on the grass to Sendou. Sendou hesitated as Niko cleared the ball shouting, "You're trash!"
Aiku had gambled and lost that bet as Barou took the ball. He chop-dribbled past Darai and Neru creating Chaos on the field and when he found his spot Nio and Dari rushed towards him trying to stop him but Barou rushed forward all the same booting the ball into the top left corner shouting, "Look and watch as I feast don't he goal you plebs!"
Natsuki shouted, "Number 10 Barou Shoiei scores!!! The Japan U20 team is looking at a horrible loss here."
Japan U20 (1) : Blue Lock (4)
The crowd was stunned as one of them said, "Is our team really that trash that they're losing to highschoolers? Ugh. This is painful to watch."
Another chimed in saying, "Yeah the only one from he U20s that scored was Itoshi Sae and he's not even part of U20 Line Up."
Another then said, "They should just put those kids on the team."
Many agreed as they started cheering for Blue Lock as Sendou looked devastated as he thought, 'Blue Lock... are the heroes of this match?'
Barou walked up to Sendou and said "If you hesitate in front of the goal you're trash. You have no talent as a Striker. Give up on it and die."
Sendou gritted his teeth as Sae said, "He's right. You had a perfect shot. It was so unexpected that even a monkey could have put that in."
Sendou gritted his teeth tears flowing from his eyes in frustration as Aiku patted him on the back and said "Don't make the same mistake again and everything will be okay."
Sendou wiped his tears standing up as Sae asked, "Ready to give up and put Ayanokoji in?"
Aiku grinned and said, "Not just yet."
Sae sighed and said, "You're insanely selfish you know."
Aiku looked at the team and said, "Everyone. Let's fight it out until half time. Let's show Japan we're still their U20 team."
Sae looked unimpressed as he said, "You've got until half time. Then you'll have to make a choice."
Aiku nodded as the U20 team restarted with the ball. Hayate passed to Sae as he dribbled up the field. He knew not to go In recklessly this time. He was aware that despite their Striker roots Blue Lock had an exceptional defence. He waited for the moment when his teammate went in front of him as his eyes slit and him intending to make a curved pass to Sendou when Nishioka bumped into him as Sae thought, 'Where did he come from?'
Nishioka got Sae a bit off his axis as the pass still made it to Sendou but it was delayed as Sendou found himself surrounded by all his paths to the goal dead. Even still he shot the ball when Yosuke blocked it saying, "Now that wasn't bad but still too little to late."
Yosuke passed it to Rin who tore through the defence with Bachira next to him. Rin passed to Bachira getting behind Darai and stopping him from turning before passing to Bachira. Bachira dribbled up as he swerved around Nio shooting the ball when Aiku blocked the shot. He knew Rin was coming as Sae attempted to buy him time but noticed, 'Rin... he's like a wall. What has he been doing in Blue Lock.'
At that moment RIn was thinking, 'To beat Ayanokoji I need to be physically stronger. I can't neglect my physicals so I've been training my body like my life depended on it. Because of that you can't beat me physically Sae.'
Sae realising this shoved him slightly with his shoulder trying to take Rin off his axis Rin feinted making the shove meaningless as he used his hand to create space and shot the ball into the goal as Rin thought, 'Mangle everything!'
Natsuki looked awkwardly at his fellow commentator as she announced, "Another goal from Blue Lock's Itoshi Rin and it's half-time."
Japan U20 (1) : Blue Lock (5)
Both teams got off the pitch as they rested up a bit.

U20
Aiku looked down and said, "We're really losing this badly..."
Sendou spoke up and said, "We can still turn this around."
None of the others agreed with him saying, "You're crazy Sendou. We're done."
Sae packed his bag and said, "So stubborn. I'm done with this farce. I'm leaving."
Aiku pulled up his hand and said, "Wait Lil Genius. Everyone. I have to admit it. We're weak. Do it. Put Ayanokoji in. We'll sub him in for Wakatsuki."
Koji stood up and asked, "Are you staying Itoshi Sae?"
Sae grabbed his jersey looked back at Koji and said, "We're going to be the headliners of this match. Let's go."
Koji nodded as they walked out towards the field.

Blue Lock
Ego walked in and said, "You have all done well so far but do not let it cloud your judgement. It is not a victory until the final whistle blows. You can all still score more goals."
Rin drinks some water breathing heavily as he says, "The amount of goals we've scored so far. It's not enough. Not enough to beat that bastard so we need to score more in the second half."
Rin got up wiping the sweat from his forehead thinking, 'I have a bad feeling' as Blue Lock headed back to the field. On the field, they saw Koji waiting in a U20 Jersey standing next to Sae as RIn thought, 'And just like that my worst nightmare has arrived.'

Stadium
The ANHS students were still in shock at the match, as Shibata said, "I can't believe the professionals of our country are losing this badly."
Suzune looked at the field and said, "Could it be that Blue Lock was just that effective?"
Sudo was also shaken up as he said, "Even still it's insane that Blue Lock is that good."
Then they saw Koji walk out in his U20 jersey as Suzune looked and thought, 'He looks good in...' Her mind had begun to wander but she controlled herself as a slight blush appeared on her cheeks.
Kushida also saw him and thought, 'Sexy af but he can't be mine.' She sighed in disappointment.
Sudo looked in anticipation as he said, "Do you think Ayanokoji can turn the tide?"
Shibata looked at him dumbfounded and said, "You think one guy can overturn a 4 goal lead? Are you insane? This isn't Basketball. Every goal no matter from how far away is still only one goal. Even if he was picked by Itoshi Sae there's no way he could overturn such a lead."
Sudo looked annoyed and shouted, "I know that. I'm not an idiot."
Ichinose shook Shibata's shoulders and said, "Don't say that Shibata-Kun. Ayanokoji-Kun is an amazing person. Maybe he can."
Sakayanagi did her Fufu laugh and thought, 'You'll certainly surprise some of them won't you Masterpiece?'
Shibata made an annoyed face thinking, 'I'm the only one who knows football here yet you're all doubting me?'
Ryuen looked down and thought, 'If those Blue Lockers are that good then you must be a way better Monster because I refuse to believe some fucking footballer could be better than you physically.'

Field
Natsuki started talking saying, "The U20 Team is now doing a substitution. Number 1 is replacing Wakatsuki. His name... Ayanokoji Kiyotaka."
Atsuto smiled and said, "It seems like the U20 team has finally decided it's time to make a change before things become worse."
Natsuki laughed and said, "While hope seems out of reach nothing is decided until the end. And from what I hear this Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was personally scouted by Itoshi Sae."
Atsuto smiled and said, "Well then he must be quite the talent but will he be able to turn the tide?"
Rin walked up to Koji and said, "So you're finally here Ayanokoji."
Koji smiled and said, "Hope you're not too tired Rin. It wouldn't be fun if you were."
Rin glared at him and said, "I've got more than enough energy to crush you."
Koji smirked and said, "You sound so confident but can you back it up?"
Koji walked over to Sae who said, "It's time. When we get the ball score."
Koji nodded and said, "Yeah I know."
Rin started with the ball as he passed it to Bachira. Bachira rushed up, but the instant he saw Koji, he felt it. The path ahead of him was dead as Rin thought, "Bachira can't make it through."
Bachira passed back to Rin who started to weave through the defence when Koji stole the ball saying, "Not good enough Destroyer."
Koji rushed forward with the ball when Karasu tried to stop him. He passed to Sae, and the two of them shredded through the defence using lobs, through balls, and short passes. They systematically left Blue Lock's players in the dust, their auras ablaze. Sae's were numbers, while Koji's were demonic causing Rin to think, 'Those two... are already creating a chemical reaction!?'
Sae X Ayanokoji
Rin turns back trying to to stop Koji to the point he is willing to foul him when Koji says, "Too boring Rin" as he breaks free racing up.
Rin desperately tries to catch up thinking, 'I'm too predictable aren't I? I can't put a stop to him like this.'
Nishoka rushed in as Koji said, "Not bad but not good enough as he chipped the ball to Sae as he jumped avoiding Nishioka's slide tackle as Niko saw this trying to calculate everything as he began to see lines of trajectory sprouting from both Ayanokoji and Sae as Niko thought, 'I... I'm helpless... these two... are like an Instant Death Duo!'
Barou acted quickly trying to intervene in the situation as Aryu joined in but Sae received the ball tapping it between them and getting past them to regain the ball as Aryu thought, 'Even with my long legs I...'
Sae made a pass to Koji thinking, 'This is what I've been looking for. Someone worthy of my passes.'
Koji trapped the ball dragging it back and placing his foot on top of the ball to avoid Karasu's tackle thinking, 'Not going to happen Crow' as Karasu clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Karasu turned trying to press more thinking, 'I can still stop him if I...' but Koji dragged the ball forward onto his heel as he tapped the ball up and it went to Sae as the crowd went wild at his play.
Sae got into position and made a pass as Niko desperately tried to stop Koji but failed falling flat onto his face as Koji moved forward. Yosuke rushed in killing Koji's path ahead using his predator eye thinking, 'I have to stop him.'
Koji's eyes slit as he looked at Yosuke and said, "Not bad Yosuke but not good enough."
Koji feinted a shot causing Yosuke to extend his leg thinking, 'Damn it no!' as Koji used this to gently knock the ball between his legs as he was obscuring Gagamaru's vision causing the ball to go in between his legs as well.

Suzune cheered with the crowd thinking, 'He did it! He scored.'
Ryuen laughed and said, "Haha. here's a goal from him."
Sakayanagi fufus and says, "Finally the match gets interesting."
Shibata looked in shock as he said, "The hell? That play was next level. No way I could even react to it. Ayanokoji and Hirata are amazing."
Miichan looked to Yosuke and thought, 'Hirata-Kun might be depressed from not...'
Then she saw him smile as Suzune asked, "Is he smiling?"
Shibata looked shocked and said, "He's insane."
Atsumi sees his son and says, "Using your abilities for football. How trivial."
Suzune looked at Atsumi and said, "You're scum."
Sudo agrees saying, "He's your kid! How can you not be proud of him?"
Atsumi sighs and says, "That doesn't concern you."
Sudo got annoyed wanting to punch him but Ryuen stopped him and said, "Don't cause problems for us dumbass. I wanna see how long it takes for the monster to destroy Blue Lock."
Shibata looks at him and says, "Are you insane too Ryuen? They're still behind by 3 goals!"
Ryuen kukus and says, "Then how about a bet? 10K yen that Ayanokoji gets a hat trick."
Shibata laughs and says, "Don't cry when you owe me 10K."
Ichinose tries to mediate saying, "Hey now. You can't gamble on a match or friend is involved in."
Ryeun kukus and says, "Hey you say that but I'm showing my support kuku."
Sakayanagi fufus and says, "Then I'll bet he scores 4 in total."
Ryuen smirks and says, "Alright, I'm betting on 5 in total. 20K good for you?"
Sakayanagi smiles and says, "Yes it is Dragon Boy."
Ryuen got annoyed but knew if he knocked her out he wouldn't get his money and would be kicked out so he controlled himself."
Suzune looked at them and said, "6 in total."
Sakayanagi smiled and said, "I don't think Ayanokoji-Kun would be the type to go for 6 goals."
Suzune ignored her as she looked at Koji and thought, 'How long will it take you to turn the tides Kiyotaka?'

Field
Atsuto shouted, "And Number 1 Ayanokoji Kiyotaka scores a goal for the U20 Team."
Natsuki smiles and says, "Perhaps the U20 Team can make a comeback."
Sae smirked and said, "Now that's striker."
Sendou looked annoyed Aiku laughed and said, 'You two are scarily compatible you know."
Sae looked at Koji and thought, 'His thought processes are better than mine but still he's missing a critical piece. I wonder if he'll find it in this match.'
Koji walked back to his half and said to Sendou, "That's how you score."
Sendou gritted his teeth thinking, 'How is this brat already so much better than me?'
Rin looked dead into Koji's eyes thinking, 'That bastard got me. He's too easily able to comprehend me. How do I bet him? How do I stop a monster like him?'
Koji saw Rin stand with the ball as he thought, 'How are you going to beat me Rin? Or am I going to be the sole survivor of Blue Lock?'
Koji stood next to Sae as his Aura permeated the field and Blue Lock all had one thought, 'He's a demon.'
