nWhile the players of Ookami elementary school were cheerfully chanting their victory slogans and celebrating on the pitch, the players of Karasuno elementary school were scattered on the ground with their faces contorted in disappointment.

nMost of the spectators in the stand couldn’t believe the unexpected turn of events which unfolded before their eyes. The supporters of Karasuno elementary school were still in daze while the supporters of Ookami elementary school were full of laughter.

nThey were celebrating as if they had already won the tournament.

nAfter a while, the referee gathered both the winning team and losing team for one last handshake. However the players of Karasuno elementary school didn’t look one bit happy about shaking hands with the players of Ookami elementary school. More than the pain of losing the match, they were demonstrating emotions of hatred in their face.

nLater in that day, Hiro was lying on his bed while scrolling his phone. Due to the live broadcast of several Newtubers, somehow the match had gained even more popularity on the internet. Several articles were published all over social media sites.

nAs he was scrolling through his Face-book account, several videos of him popped up. Back then when he created his newtube account, he had created a Face-book account to promote his videos. The videos made him curious and he bagan to scroll through his videos.

nSince it was still an anonymous account which didn’t even consisted a decent profile picture, he hadn’t gained any popularity in his Face-book account.

nSoccer Wizard demonstrates his magic.

nI can’t believe he scored a goal from that distance.

nIs that kid even a kid?

nIs it even a kids match?

nAce of Karasuno elementary school lashed out at the player of Ookami elementary school

nRising tension in the field

n…., and so on.

nSeveral videos with such titles popped up all over his social media account. And almost every video had more than 50k views in it. He began to binge watch every videos related to the match. The overflowing support of the people amused him.

n“Damn!! I never thought that a kid’s match could gain such a massive response from the people.”

nHiro mumbled in awe.

n“Right! I still haven’t checked my newtube account. Shall we check on it?”

nHe then logged into his newtube account to check on his account. He hadn’t posted a single video after he posted his first video because of his busy schedule.

n“Holy **!! 180k subscriber!! 780k view!! Wtf!! Am I dreaming right now??” n𝚘𝚟l.co𝚖

nHis eyes widened in shock. He couldn’t believe the ridiculous amount of subscribers in his newtube channel.

n“No wonder those reporters sought after me. Now that we mention about them. Let’s check out the video of the interview.”

nAfter going through his newtube account, he began to search for the video of his interview.

n“I’m sure they called the show ‘Neighbourhood Celebrity’.”

n“Holy **!! It gained more than a million views already?”

nOnce again the ridiculous amount of views on the video which he was featured in, shocked him.

nHe then clicked on the video and began to watch the video. While the video was playing, he couldn’t stop himself from smiling. He was constantly smiling while watching the video .

n“Damn!! I look so handsome. Hahahaha.” He began to praise himself while laughing like a maniac.

n“Yeah right!! I still haven’t monetised my video. I’ll ask dad for his bank details tomorrow and monetise it.”

nSaying that he turned off his off and put it inside the drawer and headed to sleep.

nEven after closing his eyes for more than 5 minutes, he couldn’t sleep for some reason. Unable to sleep, he opened his eyes in state of delirium. Something felt amiss.

n“Hmmm…. Am I forgetting something?” He wondered.

n“Oh yeah that’s right! I’m forgetting about the golden ticket.” He mumbled.

n“System activate.”

nAs he mumbled, the blue panel of the system appeared infront of him. At first page, it showed his description.

nHe scanned through his attributes but didn’t notice any noticeable changes in it.

n“At first my attributes increased quite fine. But now I can’t seem to improve it.” He mumbled in a muffled voice.

nThe slow increase in his stats started to concern him. Previously his stats were increasing just fine by completing the daily quests. But now even after completing his daily quests consistently, it wasn’t increasing as compared to before.

nAnd thus, his stagnant growth started to concern him.

n“May be it’s because I’m not challenging myself enough. And tbh the daily quests aren’t even that challenging these days. But let’s worry about that later. For now let’s use our golden ticket.”

nWhile his stagnant growth concerned him, at the moment he was more interested in his golden ticket. Afterall golden ticket could grant him a random ability of any player. So he was excited to find out the talent he could copy.

nRoulette section

nYou have one golden ticket available.

nWould you like to use your Golden ticket?

n“Yes”

nAs he confirmed the use of golden ticket, the roulette wheel began to spin. It spun for a while and landed on a random card.

nCongratulations for the host for obtaining the freekick of Ruberto Carlos.

nTalent: Freekick of Ruberto Carlos

nTalent description: Can perform a freekick like Ruberto Carlos and can be used for three times every single day.

n“Holy **!! Freekick of Ruberto Carlos!!”

nRuberto Carlos was a Brazilian defender who was best known for his speed, shooting power and freekicks. The iconic freekick he scored against France in 1997 was one of the most impressive freekicks humankind had ever witnessed.

nIt was packed with explosive shot power. While he shot that freekick, the ball went so fast that the keeper of France national team didn’t even had a moment to react. Before he could come back to his senses, the ball was already inside the net.

n“Damn!! I gotta try it tomorrow against Endo.”

n“Hahahahaha!!”

nHe let out an evil grin in his face as he thought of testing his newfound talent against the keeper of Ookami elementary school.

nFeeling all excited he went to sleep.

nAs usual he arrived late for his classes. Thus, while on his way towards his classroom, he couldn’t find even a single student outside the hallways.

nAs he was about to enter his classroom, he found his classroom unusually silent. Just as he opened the door of his classroom, groups of students flocked over him.

n“Soccer Wizard!! Hiro!!”

n“I watched your match yesterday.”

n“You played so well.”

n“You were so amazing.”

nHis classmates rushed towards him while singing his praises. They didn’t give him even a moment to breathe. They squeezed him and began to ask ridiculous questions.

nDue to his busy schedule, he didn’t attend most of the classes after he posted his video. And even the times when he attended classes, the teachers wouldn’t let the students do as they wish.

nAnd he had also been skipping the classes due to football training. Thus nobody could have a word with him, even after attending the class.

nHowever today was different, there was no teacher in the classroom. In absence of teacher, the students could talk as much as they wanted.

nThus, the students of his class didn’t waste the opportunity and flocked all over him to ask him for his autograph and converse with him.

nWithout realising, he had turned into Mr.popular of his class.

nHowever he still had trouble with dealing with crowds. Thus, he couldn’t answer anything. He started to pray for someone to take him out of that precarious situation and save him.

n“All of you get to your seats.”

nAs if the god had answered his prayers, the teacher arrived in the classroom and ordered everyone to be seated.

nWith the arrival of teacher, everybody scattered and began to run towards their seats, leaving him alone.

n“Thank you Sensei”

nHe took a deep breath and thanked his teacher for taking him out of that precarious situation in a muffled voice.

nAfter taking few classes, the previous situation repeated itself as lunch time arrived. His classmates flocked over him, once again.

nJust as he was about to faint, Akashi made his appearance. All of the students began to scatter with his appearance.

nEven though he didn’t do anything, the students were terrified of his appearance. Thus, nobody dared to make a single noise in presence of Akashi. Once again he was saved.

nThe classes went smooth afterwards because of the presence of a teacher in the classroom.

nDing!! Dong!!

n“Okay students, this much for today.”

n“Thank you teacher.”

nThe students thanked the teacher in unison. And just as the teacher exited the classroom, he grabbed his bag and stormed towards the pitch before his classmates could flock over him, once again.

nAs he was tying his laces, he wondered if everyday would be like that. The thoughts of facing that situation everyday sent shiver down his spine and haunted him. He contorted his face while imagining the situation.

n“God!! Just save me from those little devils”
