nIt was a shot packed with an unimaginable might.

nSpectators watched the spectacular display of Hiro’s acrobatics with growing enthrallment. Who would have thought he’d pull such a move that would stunned almost everybody?

nEven though he played against them, for a slight moment, they couldn’t help but cheer on him.

nThe ball glided straight inside the post without any obstruction.

nBento who was supposed to protect the goal couldn’t even bring himself to react. It was simply too fast for him to respond.

nSo while the ball glided inside the post, he remained rooted at his spot.

nThe stadium went into an uproar as many spectators sprung from their seats to celebrate the goal. It was a goal against their side. Yet they couldn’t bring themselves to sit still. Such a magnificent goal deserved all the praise.

nJust as Hiro scored that stunner, many of his teammates ran to his side to celebrate the goal. As for Hiro, he was on the ground, trying to raise himself.

nKubo who had assisted him, said as he appeared before him, “You are truly built differently. Truth be told, even though I had made that cross, I didn’t expect you to reach it.”

nThere was an unusual hint of elation hidden in his visage. As for the emotions he was feeling at the moment, it was as clear as the clear night sky to Hiro.

nHiro could tell that he was captivated by his display.

nYet still, while many were congratulating him, Tominaga watched him from the distance, albeit appearing unwilling to join the celebration.

nWell, since he didn’t have a great relationship with some, he couldn’t expect everybody to feel the same. So, he didn’t pay any heed to his unwillingness to join.

nFor a while, Hiro continued to celebrate alongside his teammate.

nHe could audibly hear the sounds of applause from the stands. It was a sign of appreciation. So, he didn’t put on an excessive display of celebration even if he had scored a stunner. While celebrating, he put on a humble appearance on his face as he reciprocated the feeling with a bow.

n“Seems like he’s not the arrogant type”

nUpon seeing his gestures, many couldn’t help but view him in a different light.

nWith that, Hiro leveled the score, keeping the hope of victory alive for his side. Rather it wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that he had revitalized the team with his performance. The previously struggling Japanese side had been revitalized.

nAfter the celebration came to an end, the match proceeded with rising intensity as the opposing coach made some changes in his team.

nNow that he had figured out the strategy of the opposing team, how could he stay idle?

nHe didn’t waste any moment to implement the result of his finding.

nAs such due to his timely intervention, both sides struggled to register any goal afterward, pushing the match into a dreadlock.

nDespite the changes he had made, the Japanese side who had been revitalized put up a magnificent display as they challenged the opposing side. They refused to let the other side score a goal on them.

nFinally, even after countless efforts, the match ended in a draw.

nBeep!

nAs the additional time that the referee had given was spent, he concluded the match by sounding his whistle.

nUpon hearing the sound of the whistle, many Japanese players heaved a sigh of relief as they slowed down. Finally, their torment had come to an end. So, they couldn’t help but feel relieved.

nThose final minutes of the match had been nothing but intense.

nDefending against those flurry of attacks from the opposing players wasn’t an easy task. So, it was only natural for them to feel relieved.

nEven now they could feel their heart racing.

nThe fatigue from defending tirelessly had left them exhausted. So, many couldn’t help but sit for a while to recover some of the energy.

nMany felt an urge to remove their cleats to relieve some pain.

nThe reactions of the opposing players were completely different of the Japanese players. While the Japanese players felt relieved hearing the final whistle they felt frustrated.

nWell, considering how they blew away the match, it was only to be expected. They were leading by two goals until the 70th minute of the match only to give away equivalent goals in the remaining minutes.

nAlso, it was clearly evident that they were the superior team. Yet they could only manage a draw against a weaker side.

nIf only they had a minute more they might have won the game.

nAlas! There wasn’t any point in thinking such now that the match had concluded. The result of the match was already before their eyes.

nMoreover, it was a single player who had driven them to such a desperate situation. The player who had singlehandedly changed the outcome of the game- Takahashi Hiro.

nAs they thought about the turning point of the game, they couldn’t help but roll their eyes to look at Hiro.

nAt that moment, he was interacting with his teammates.

n“It sucks that we couldn’t win the game” one of the people present on the stand complained.

nAnother who was right by his side nodded his head, “Yeah, it sucks. But at least the match wasn’t boring until the end”

n“Now that you mention it. Indeed, after the opposing side made those substitutions the entire match took a drastic turn. Especially that kid with the number ten, he was really fun to

nwatch”

nWhile some people were chatting about the match, a man dressed in a floral shirt seated right beside those people stood up from his seat with a smile of intrigue on his face.

nThen he swept his glance toward Thiago who was giving an interview.

n“I look forward to seeing you perform for the club,” he said, a hint of excitement escaping his freewebnσvel.cm

nThen he swept his gaze to find Hiro before leaving.

nAs he left the pitch, he heard his phone buzz in his pocket. So, he reached out to his phone to

n“The match should have ended right?”

nSomeone asked him from the other side of the phone.

n“Yeah, it ended just now. Don’t tell me that you were seated right beside your phone to call me as soon as the match concluded?” he asked jokingly.

n“It doesn’t matter. Just tell me, what do you think of Thiago?” the person said dismissively.

nA hint of amusement escaped his mouth as he curled his lips to reveal a smile, “I think we can put him to use instantly. He’ll fit right into the system of Manchester United”
