I wrote this chapter on my phone and not my computer so expected more errors than usual

I'll repeat for those who haven't seen but I'm taking a break since I won't be home the entire summer

"finally some peace" you laid even deeper in the waters of the tub you were in "no Shidou barging in like the maniac he is

"just me and my quiet space" you sigh in relief

"U20 match huh..." you closed your eyes, It was the only thing you had been thinking about since it was announced and you most likely weren't the only one who had been thinking about it

Itoshi Sae himself was taking part in the match which most likely meant he had somewhat found interest in the Blue Lock project

and if he was interested, then most likely were others

"this could be a real boost into the real world if we were to win this match" you pondered "I doubt anybody with a functioning head would ignore a random facility with a bunch of teenagers defeating their countries team"

"this is my best chance to make myself known" you opened your eyes before submerging even deeper into the bath water "then again, I should enjoy this moment cause I know the minute I get back in our room, I won't be able to feel this relaxed anymore"

fatigue took over you as you slowly drifted to sleep in the water

what seemed like a few minutes to you turned into an hour until you finally came back to your senses

"I was lucky not to drown" you sweatdropped at your stupidity as you got out of the hot bath, your body flushed due to the long period of being in heat

you quickly dried and dressed yourself before leaving the bathroom

your mind still wasn't functioning right cause of the temperature you had slept in but you didn't feel like heading back to your room yet, you were still enjoying this peaceful night

you headed to the monitor room with a towel still on your head, drying your hair

"GOOD JOB WITH THE TRYOUTS!" you heard a loud voice cheer as you entered the room

there sat Isagi, Nanase and Hiori high-fiving each other and from Nanase's previous exclamation, you guessed they were congratulating each other for their pass

you decided to quietly turn around and walk out not to disturb their moment but before you could do so, Isagi caught sight of you and called out

"hey Y/N!" he waved with a welcoming smile

"hi Isagi" you turned back so you could face the trio fully

"isagi, y'a know her?" the baby blue-haired male turned to the said male

"yeah! we actually played in the same team during the first selection!" the male exclaimed with a smile

"eh, you played with the highest-ranked player?!" it was the dark-haired male of the trio's turn to question him in amazement

you stood awkwardly on the side as isagi responded to the males' questions

isagi finally turned back to face you once more before motioning for you to sit with them

you came as requested and sat on the opposite side of the trio

"I'll introduce myself again since we didn't get to talk much during the game!" Nanase waved his hand with a bright smile "heya I'm Nanase, a first-year!"

"Y/N, third-year" was all you said

"third-year?! then you're my upperclassman! sorry for the lack of respect miss Y/N!" his eyes seemed to get brighter as he spoke to you
