As Rin Itoshi walks away, Seishiro Nagi questions his motivation. Rin responds by expressing his desire to surpass his brother Sae and defeat Yoichi Isagi.

In this gripping moment, Yoichi Isagi vividly recalled his wager with Michael Kaiser and came to the realization that he had not only emerged victorious in the match but had also triumphed in their bet. However, his jubilation was abruptly interrupted by an announcement commencing the unveiling of the new auction rankings, commencing with ranks 29 - 24.

Yoichi Isagi emerged as the second-highest ranked player, commanding a valuation of 150 million, a significant threefold increase from his previous appraisal. At the pinnacle of the rankings stood Rin Itoshi, who garnered an impressive 180 million bid following his remarkable hat trick against Manshine City.
In addition, it was disclosed by the announcer that Michael Kaiser's bid had soared to a staggering 320 million. This substantial offer originated from La Real, the esteemed football powerhouse of Spain and the very team where Itoshi Sae also showcased his exceptional skills.
Michael Kaiser, as depicted in Blue Lock chapter 240 (Image via Kodansha), prompted celebration from Ness upon learning that La Real desired to acquire him. However, contrary to expectations, Kaiser remained dissatisfied. His defeat at the hands of Isagi had caused him to prioritize his determination to surpass Isagi over any consideration of his own value or interest from La Real. The upcoming match between Bastard Munchen and Paris X Gen became the focal point of Rin Itoshi, Yoichi Isagi, and Michael Kaiser, who eagerly anticipated the opportunity to confront and vanquish one another.
Editor's P/S
In Blue Lock chapter 240, the stakes are raised even higher as the final match approaches. Isagi, Rin, and Kaiser are determined to surpass each other, and the auction rankings reveal Rin's incredible rise to the top. It's clear that these three players are the cream of the crop, and it will be exciting to see how they perform in the upcoming match.
Personally, I'm a big fan of Blue Lock and I'm always excited to see what happens next. The story is well-written and the characters are well-developed. I'm especially interested in seeing how Isagi, Rin, and Kaiser continue to grow and develop as players. I think they all have the potential to be the best in the world, and it will be fun to see who comes out on top.
