//------------------------------// // Pre-Match! // Story: The Egotistical Gamer // by Pachi //------------------------------// Thankfully I didn't have to continue with my original train of thought, as the doors swung open and out came Goldfish, Flamefish and Nightfish singing a magically enhanced song Well that was… something I can't say it wasn't good though. They have amazing vocals at least Guess that comes with the territory of being a siren though… I wasn't really paying attention to them though, I heard something about battle of the bands? I'm not a musician so not really something I'll pay attention to much. But I might just go to it if they're gonna be singing. If they cast a hypnotic spell on me or something, i'm sure I'll be able to block it with ‘Gamers Mind’ “So… do people usually break into song here?” I ask to mostly no one, as Treehugger responds “Yep, I know it's not really common, but here in Equestria, it's a little less than rare…” She says in her nonchalant and uncaring voice Her melodic and rough voice… Her gaze met mine as I realised I was staring a bit too long at her. I try and recentre myself a little by clearing my throat and looking away from her I could almost feel my cheeks turning red in embarressment *DING DING DING* Oh wow lesson time lets just go to lessons- I quickly began walking away before freezing, turning around and asking Treehugger a question “Uh, where is class 3-30?” A pure white room “Fucking Hell… you’re pegging a win on a brat?” I hear from my left, Barou Shohei I could see an aura around him And i finally know what it is Luna explained what the Ego stat could be, to dumb it down its a version of willpower, and probably messing with my head in some way so i shouldn't try to increase it, and probably based on aura, meaning your presence as a person… don't really understand what that means but Luna said that it needs to be seen to be understood so idk As well as that, Luck is off limits, since artificially increasing luck is pretty taboo to those who worship the god of fate Oh yeah, other gods exist. A lot of them He looked like… well Barou, long hair pointed straight up with what i can only describe as an unholy amount of gel, a single red high light and eyes that look as if he were gonna eat my alive Well its nothing to those things that literally will He’s currently star striker for Ubers since Snuffy retired, but because this was a blue lockian get together he decided to come and go against Uncle Yoichi… too bad he isn't here “You’re destined to lose this match…” He said as he turned to go to his changing room. Must've wanted to see what his rivals sub was… “Well ain’t he amicable” i say in a joking tone Only to be met with various of the same gazes Well its only to be expected, Ego Jinpachi, the one organising the match, put me as team leader… This team consisted of, Ikki Niko, Bachira, Hiori, Kurona, Nagi, Raichi, Aoshi Tokimitsu and Shidou Ryusei… Including me and the goalkeeper, Gagamaru, thats 9 Players The other team also has 9 people total, Rin Itoshi, Karasu, Kenyu Yukimiya, Jin Kiyora, Kunigami, Barou, Oliver Aiku, Itsuki Wakatsuki and a guy named Arthur as Goalkeeper All in all, my team would be perfectly based around Isagi, Nagi and Shidou clashing, and the opponents is based in Barou and Rin… and Kunigami, clashing Perfect for blue lock, isn't it? A 6 way between 3 strikers each vying for the ball… Its beautiful in some regard, isn't it? Not to even mention how utterly… stunning, the clashes between auras going on… Some members refused the call to go up against eachother simply due to the fact that they were busy training for the world cup… “Look up kid, its match time!” I hear Bachira say to me and he began to walk out Okay, as long as i stick to the plan, we’re golden, right?
