You’ve Got to Fight for the Ball in Football

In 2018, Japan’s national soccer team was eliminated in the Round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup.

That year, fifteen-year-old Kiba Shoma flew back to Japan from Europe with his suitcase and joined a special striker training camp.

On the first day, as everyone introduced themselves, Kiba Shoma’s cheerful, puppy-like enthusiasm seemed completely at odds with the gloomy dorm residents around him.

Then the camp’s tryouts began. The puppy was still a happy puppy, but

“Don’t pass the ball to me!”

“Damn it, stay away from me!”

“…”

When one of the guys Kiba Shoma had eliminated asked with a bitter expression, “Why did you choose me in the end?”

Kiba Shoma smiled innocently. “Because you’re the weakest. It’d be boring if the teammates who stayed were too weak!”

After that, the selection matches officially began. Kiba Shoma tore around the field, chasing the ball, stealing it, and shooting, seemingly committed to his philosophy of happy soccer with all his heart.

Teammates: “…” Let’s just think of it as taking the dog for a walk. Dogs love chasing balls, and they need to be walked regularly!!!

Facing his teammates whispering about him behind his back, Kiba Shoma wagged his nonexistent tail and flashed a bright smile. “Let’s play soccer together!”

Blurb:

Saegusa Yuka is a gloomy, lazy gaming addict. His greatest wish in life is to save up enough money to retire early and enjoy a life of lying flat.

One day, after finishing a game, Saegusa Yuka was approached by a System.

The System told him to use Blue Lock character cards to form a school volleyball club. If he could lead the club to win the national championship, it would grant him one wish.

Saegusa Yuka immediately agreed. Even hesitating for a second would show a lack of respect for money!

But…

Once Saegusa Yuka had established the volleyball club and started leveling up the Blue Lock characters, he completely lost it!

You’re teammates!

Stop fighting over the volleyball! Are you idiots?

Hey! What about defense? Where’s the libero?

Saegusa Yuka closed his eyes in despair. Luckily, he knew how to play volleyball himself.

He absolutely wouldn’t let anyone get in the way of his retirement plan!
