Blue Lock: Somehow Igarashi did better than me

[Congratulations to the user for unlocking the One For All system]

These were the words that greeted me the moment I opened my eyes. These words still hovered in front of me, even after I took my shower. Another thing I noticed was the fact that I didn't recognize the face in the bathroom mirror as my own. Looking around this bedroom, I saw that it wasn't my own.

I never had a Manchester United poster in my room, or Manshine United, if I'm reading the name right. Heck, my room differed from this, which leads me to only one conclusion.

I have been reborn.

Or maybe I'm having one of those hyperrealistic dreams where you think you woke up from your bed but are actually still sleeping. Yeah, maybe one of those.

I waited, perhaps to wake up, but it never happened. I didn't wake up. Furthermore, I don't hear my dad's voice telling me to get up. Or the sound of my brother blaring his music in the morning. None of that.

I'm either enjoying fantastic sleep, or I am truly reincarnated. Which, in that case.

"AAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Come on, man, I had a life. It's just been a month since I finished college. I was happy bumming my ass off doing nothing instead of looking for a job.

While I was busy sulking on the floor, a knock came on my door. "Shizuka? Is everything okay in there? I heard screaming."

That was probably this guy's mum, or mine now.

"Sorry, everything's fine, just having an existential crisis." Okay, that probably wasn't a good response. My stupid mouth moving before my brain.

"Oh honey, you're already at that age, after all. Don't worry, it'll pass. Now come down quick, don't want the ace keeping his team waiting."

What does she mean by that? It'll pass. And what did she mean by the team's ace? Oh well, I guess I'm gonna have to go with the flow for this one. Turning my head to the side, the hovering screen was still there. Letting out a sigh, I pressed continue.

[The One For All system is here to help its user reach the heights' soccer never reached before.]

[You have received a new user gift package.]

[Open? YESSIR/NAH FAM]

My brows twitched at the yes and no option. But I can't complain, at least I have a system to help me, and maybe it could help me deal with my trauma.

[The system does not help overcome any form of mental illness]

[You on yo own fo that]

Great, thanks for clarifying. 'Reach heights in soccer never reached before' huh? Well, I can't exactly complain. Luckily, I have been a football addict since I was six. Granted, I was never the best, but at least I knew how to play.

Pressing 'YESSIR' brought up a new interface. A gift box wrapped in blue with a red and white streak tied by a yellow ribbon appeared shaking before exploding in a confetto of blue, red, white, and yellow.

The name. Where have I read that before? Running back to the bathroom mirror. That's when my memory clicked. This was the guy who appeared after the third selection alongside a bunch of other extras. Extras that weren't picked for the U-20s match. Even Igarashi got picked to sit on the bench. Whereas this guy didn't even make a blip in the story. I remember him now, because I really liked his design when he first appeared.

I slumped my head down. Goddammit, I'm not even a side character. I'm just an extra. I took a deep breath. Can't be thinking that way anymore now can I? I'm here now, time to make Japanese Football change whether they like it or not.

Grabbing a pink jacket that was hanging on my wall, I read the name on the back. The name was written in Kanji. I recognized the Kanji characters. I never knew the difference before, but now I do. Guess I have the basic knowledge of the country I live in. Thank god for that, I've read too many reincarnation fics where the MC can't understand the language.

'Sakuraoka'

Well Sakuraoka, prepare to have your minds blown. Then, Japan.

Whelp, there it is, the first chapter. Plz leave a review or a comment about the story. And before anyone mentions about the grammar of the story, I'm only using the free versions of the checkers so not much I can do there.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed.
