Blue Lock had been practically a man's world for years: football, training, and rivalries. Until the screens lit up.

EGO: "Attention, forwards. The Women's Under-20 National Team will be training temporarily here and sharing facilities with you."

Isagi, Bachira, Kunigami, Chigiri, Nagi, Reo, Rin, Shidou, Barou, Karasu, Otoya, Gagamaru, Hiori, Aryu, Zantetsu, Niko, Raichi, Igarashi, Tokimitsu, Yukimiya, Kurona, Aiku, Nanase, Fukaku, Koun, Bunny, Neru, and Sendo exchanged glances.

ISAGI: "The Women's Under-20 National Team?"

BACHIRA: "Heh, this is something new."

NAGI: "How troublesome..."

KOUN: "Huh? Are you really going to train here? This is going to be... different."

On Bastard München's side, Kaiser and Ness also paid attention. Charles, Loki, and Vivian Hugo watched curiously from the other side.

KAISER: "Wow. Interesting."

CHARLES: "I want to see what level they're at."

The doors opened and the players entered.

After years surrounded almost exclusively by men, more than one tried to hide their glances, adjust their hair, or pretend they were too engrossed to pay attention. It didn't work very well.

They, on the other hand, seemed completely calm: they walked, talked among themselves, and even exchanged discreet criticisms about the players.

EGO: "And before anyone underestimates them: this team has already won two World Cups."

RAICHI: "TWO?!"

KARASU: "Heh. He's already started showing off."

EGO: "Exactly. And I intend to remind them of that every chance I get."

The screen went black.

Blue Lock had just welcomed her new teammates. And staying focused had just become considerably more difficult.
