Blue Lock: I'm Kira Ryosuke

Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Transmigration, Blue Lock

"Player Kira, people say you're the gem of the football world, and there are even rumors that the U18 national team has decided to promote you directly to the team. Can you tell us about your ambitions?"

On a temporary interview platform set up beside the football field, a beautiful female reporter held a microphone and interviewed a handsome young man in front of her.

At this moment, the young man was still in a daze.

The vast green grass, the spacious and bright stadium, and the continuous cheering were all very unfamiliar to him.

Just a few seconds ago, he was a young and unknown manga artist, eating snacks and watching anime at home, preparing to draw a hot-blooded manga later. But now, he found himself in a strange yet somewhat familiar football field.

He immediately understood that he had transmigrated.

A surge of unfamiliar memories rushed into his mind, making him aware of which world he had arrived in—the Blue Lock.

The country implemented a plan called "Blue Lock" to create a super forward. They invited 300 young forwards from all over the country to participate in closed training and selection in Blue Lock. In the end, only one person can stay and become a world-class forward, while the remaining 299 people who are eliminated will never be able to join the national team, marking the end of their football careers.

At the same time, he also realized his identity, which was an insignificant supporting character in the Blue Lock series named Kira Ryosuke.

At this moment, Kira Ryosuke had just led his team to defeat the opponents and secured a spot in the national tournament. He himself had already become a local celebrity, even being regarded as a gem in the football world by many.

However, his perfect life trajectory was about to come to an end. In the near future, Kira Ryosuke would participate in the Blue Lock program. Instead of shining in the football world as he should have, he was eliminated in the first round of the Blue Lock selection. His football career came to a definitive end, and he became an insignificant cannon fodder.

Kira Ryosuke felt a mix of emotions. It wasn't just because he had just transmigrated into this world, but more importantly, he had no interest in football.

Although he knew the rules of football, it was mostly from watching classic sports anime. He didn't dislike the sport, but he was far from being passionate about it.

Initially, when he realized he had transmigrated, he was very happy, thinking that he could become a "copyist" in this world and create a popular manga to achieve fame and fortune.

And now, he had gained some recognition—but in the field of football.

As the core ace of the team, Kira Ryosuke was already a young star with some fame. He also knew that there was no easy way for him to escape from the world of football.

Having never played football before, he had become a gem in the football world. It was a hopeless situation to think about. Even if he could inherit the excellent physical attributes of his original body and the football skills from his memories, there were many other things he couldn't inherit, such as football intelligence and instinctive reactions.

If he forced himself to participate in the competition, the consequences would be evident. He might become a laughingstock among the national fans.

Thinking like this, he might as well follow the original story and participate in the Blue Lock program, naturally avoiding the national tournament that would come later, and then, just like in the original plot, be eliminated midway due to an accident, ending his football career prematurely and starting his path as a manga artist.

The original body indeed had outstanding talent in the field of football, but even if he hadn't been eliminated in the first round, there was no guarantee he would have gone far.

In Blue Lock, talent and ability were abundant.

"Mr. Kira?"

At this moment, the gentle voice of a beautiful female reporter brought Kira Ryosuke back to reality, making him realize that he was being interviewed and expected to say something about winning the championship.

"Ah, thanks to my teammates, I am who I am today because of them."

Kira Ryosuke immediately smiled and spoke some official words into the microphone.

He could clearly hear the audience in the venue shouting his name in unison, so he waved his hand in response.

.....

After attending the celebration party, Kira Ryosuke returned home and his family handed him a letter from the Football Association.

Kira Ryosuke was well aware of the contents of the letter; it was an invitation from Blue Lock.

However, he wasn't particularly interested in football, and the Blue Lock program was known to be extremely brutal. Only one person out of the 300 participants would succeed, while countless players who were once considered geniuses would be reduced to nothing. Moreover, during this period, they would undergo closed-door hellish training, with even their phones confiscated, cutting off all communication with the outside world.

A true prison, indeed.

As Kira Ryosuke reached out to touch the letter, a strange voice suddenly rang in his ears.

[Football Competitiveness. Super God Skill System Unlocked]

[Newcomer Gift Package for the Host, Automatically Activating -]

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the 'Football Competitiveness Specialization: Thunder Breath' gift package!]

"What?"

Kira Ryosuke quickly realized that the system he possessed as a transmigrator had finally been unlocked.

At the same time, some images that only he could see gradually appeared.

[Host: Kira Ryosuke]

[Current Competitiveness Points: 0]

[Current Skills:]

[Competitiveness: Breath of Thunder - Full Concentration (Unlocked) Level 1, Proficiency 0%]

[Competitiveness: Breath of Thunder - Thunderclap Flash - First Form (Unlocked) Level 1, Proficiency 0%]

[Competitiveness: Breath of Thunder - Honoikazuchi no Kami (Locked, Unlock: 350 Competitiveness Points, and Rumble and Flash already unlocked)]

"Breath of Thunder? Football? What is this?"

Kira Ryosuke was a little dazed at the moment. In theory, he should be happy about unlocking the system, but at this moment, he felt more astonished.

Breath of Thunder originally belonged to the Demon Slayer world, a unique technique of the Demon Slayer Corps. They could change their breathing style and enter a state called "Total Concentration Breathing," enhancing their physical abilities by absorbing a large amount of oxygen. By combining it with different swordsmanship styles, they possessed the power to fight against demons.

And now, the system was combining breath techniques with football? This had to be a joke!
