Koji- 4th Best huh. Not bad. I can still keep a low profile with that much.

Kira walks up to Koji.

Kira: Why did you give me the credit? I never would have got there without you.

Koji: But I never could have scored the way you did.

Kira: I somehow doubt that.

Koji: Take it however you want but those are the facts.

Kira: I see. Well, thank you for your passes.

Koji: All good.

Next, Kuon approached Koji.

Kuon: Um Ayankoji... Why exactly did you pass to Kira? You could have scored yourself right?

Koji: I don't think I could have.

Kuon: Ayanokoji. Are you secretly holding out on us?

Kuon- No one takes any of this seriously. Not even when we're winning, it sickens me.

Koji- He's a bit like Kushida huh...

Koji: I can assure you I'm going all out.

Kuon: Alright then.

Kuon- Then why hasn't your expression changed? You're not even trying!

Kuon laughs awkwardly and leaves.

Bachira: Our next match is with Team Y right? I wonder what they're like.

Koji- Hm... That's true. I wonder what their playstyle is like. But right now I'm more interested in how Horikita is doing.

ANHS

Kushida approached Horikita.

Kushdia: President Horikita. There's been a dispute between the First Years.

Horikita: Again? Now I understand what my brother must have had to go through for 2 years.

Kushida: Are you alright?

Horkita: I'm just a bit tired.

Kushdia: Even though you've managed to lead our class victory by victory you seem more tired than before.

Horikita- Without Ayanokoji-Kun I have to work hard to outsmart Sakayanagi, Ryuen and Ichinose. Even though our class hasn't outright lost even a single exam since Ayankoji left we've always been one step behind Class A. It feels impossible to beat Sakayanagi. If only you were here Ayanokoji.

Kushida: President?

Horikita: I'm fine. I just haven't been sleeping as well.

Kushida: This started when Ayanokoji left. Were you two dating?

Horikita blushed.

Horikita: Of course not. We...

Horikita- We never actually got together. We just told each other our feelings. I'll just have to wait till I see him again. I wonder what you're doing right now Ayanokoji.

Blue Lock Building 5

Team Z and Team Y entered the field.

Kira: You all can leave it to me. I'll definitely score for us.

Raichi: I'll be scoring.

Imamura: No it'll be me!

Gagamaru puts his hand on Imamura's head leaning forward.

Gagamaru: It'll be me I'm telling you.

Koji- They all seem pretty motivated. That's good. With this, we can win. Though this situation isn't too different to the one with Team X... I only see 2 players that could possibly pose a threat. It's strange. What is that Ego thinking? Team Z has Kira, Kunigami, Bachira and Gagamaru. All of them are very capable. There's no way they are worse than the players on Team Y. I see. So that's his game. 

The ball started with Team Y.

Niko- We'll win this match with my view of the field!

Team Y sets off with members rushing forward. Koji observes their movements.

Koji- So he's the one huh?

Okawa passes to Niko but Koji intercepts it easily.

Niko: Huh. Wait what.

Koji: Such an obvious plan yet no ability to pull it off under pressure.

Niko- How does he already know our strategy?

Koji- This one is the centre of Team Y. I saw their strategy in the recordings yesterday. I wanted to confirm it today and I have. It's clear they don't have another strategy. How half-hearted. It's not that he chooses to do this as a strategy. He just believes it's the only way for him to survive.

Koji: So dependant on Okawa. You can't do anything without Okawa.

Niko- That bastard!

Niko tried to interfere but Koji easily got past him as he passed to Bachira.

Bachira: Ha ha. This will be fun.

Bachira dribbled past the opponents as he passed to Koji who had gotten in a better position. Koji kicked the ball as it landed and was about to move toward Okawa but as it landed it spun backward to Raichi.

Raichi: Ha ha. It's my win now!

Raichi raced up the field when he realised he had been surrounded.

Raichi: Damn it.

Raichi passed the ball to Kira who saw that he had 2 opponents in front of him who hadn't noticed him yet but were turning to track the ball with their eyes and Koji off to the side open to a pass.

Kira- If I pass now we'll score. I want to score myself but... the team is more important.

Kira passes the ball to Koji.

Koji- He still lacks the confidence and conviction to his own strength. How disappointing.

Koji shoots the ball into the goal.

Announcer: Goal by Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. Team Y (0)- Team Z (1).

Kira: Nice goal Ayanokoji-Kun.

Koji: Why did you pass? They were caught completely off guard by Raichi's pass. You could have scored yourself.

Kira: I saw you open so I...

Koji: Kira. Fight for yourself for once. You could have scored but this mentality you have will be the death of your career in this place.

Kira: I... I just can't.

Koji- If Kira continues on this path. If he continues to wallow in Teamwork and not grow I'll finish him off myself.

Koji: Alright. I'm not complaining. I want to score goals just like the rest of you. I was just wondering why.

Niko- I couldn't even catch up to him let alone stop him. Damn it!

Team Y starts with the ball again. The game starts.

Niko- I have to think of something quick or...

Koji steals the ball.

Okawa: What are you doing Niko!?

Niko: Damn it no!

Koji rushes forward with the ball as he sees Kira being pressed but this opens up Kunigami on the left. Koji passes to him and Kunigami slams the ball into the goal. 

Announcer: Goal by Kunigami Rensuke. Team Y (0)- Team Z (2).

Kunigami gives him a high five.

Kuigami: Yes!

Koji: That was a good goal.

Okawa: Niko. What do we do? They have three amazing scorers. 

Niko: Give me a second.

Team Y Member: Tell us your plan damn it!

Niko: Just shut up!

Niko snapped.

Niko- This is my own fault. Ayanokoji was right. I've failed as a Striker. But not anymore!

Team Y member dribbles upfield and passes to Niko. Raichi presses Okawa but Niko rushes through not even looking at him.

Niko- I'll do this with my own strength!

Bachira: Haha. That's more like it!

Raichi: Seriously?

Niko shoots the ball but Koji blocks it as it flies off and lands at Gagamaru's feet. Gagamaru moves up and passes to Bachira who bobs and weaves past several players and then crosses the ball as it lands at the feet of Kunigami who scores again.

Announcer: Goal by Kunigami Rensuke. Team Y (0)- Team Z (3). (Whistle Sound). The Match Has Concluded.

Niko: No. Not after I just began to change...

Kungami: Yes! Another one! I have the most goals now!

Kira: Seems I'll have to work hard to regain my lead Kunigami-San.

Kunigami: You bet. I Ain't letting you keep your first-place position for long.

Kira laughs awkwardly.

Kira- Damn it. Why not me? Why was I never open during the second half? Fuck this shit!

Koji- I wonder? Is he ready to make a change?
