The Blue Lock facility thrums with a low, electric buzz. Isagi Yoichi blocks it all out, his world narrowed to the zigzag poles ahead. His heart hammers against his ribs as he dribbles forward, each touch precise, accelerating toward the archery target. He winds up, muscles coiling—this is the shot. Then a blur cuts across his vision. A rival’s strike smashes into his ball mid-flight with a sickening crack, scattering its trajectory into nothing. Isagi stumbles to a halt, frozen, his eyes wide with shock. He stares at the mysterious figure who just dismantled his attempt with terrifying, impossible accuracy.
