nThe realization struck him like a freight train.

nThinking that he was worrying about a fox who was merely putting up a facade infuriated Hiro.

nHiro had even prepared himself to lower his head even though he hated him. But that sly fox was deceiving him. To think that he felt pity for such a person disgusted him.

n‘This cunning fox nearly deceived me.’

nHiro gnashed his teeth as he glared at Wei Zen.

n“Ptoo-” Hiro spat a mouthful of spit before turning to leave.

nThen he stomped away, ‘I won’t forget this, you cunning fox.”

nSeeing him walking away, many opposing fans became even more agitated at him. His gesture was unsportsmanlike.

n“That arrogant brat, now that he can’t do anything, he’s finally shown his true colors.” One of the opposing fans scoffed.

n“Indeed, it seems that he has quite a nasty temper.”

nAnother chimed in.

nNow that the momentum was shifting to their side, the opposing fans looked more united than ever and even their lost enthusiasm was starting to return.

nWith that being said, they were more eager to support their players.

nAs for the Japanese supporters, although they were still winning the game, they were starting to feel anxious by the growing tension on the field.

nThey didn’t want their star player to receive such a nasty reputation.

nAll of a sudden the atmosphere of the stadium shifted.

nBoo!

nThe jeering sound filled with disapproval echoed in the stadium as the opposing fans started booing Hiro.

nThe sudden shift in the atmosphere of the stadium drew the attention of almost everyone present in the stadium.

n“It seems like almost every opposing fan present in the stadium has antagonized Hiro. Until just now, he had been having a fairytale-like run. However, it appears that it’s as far as he could go. You have to feel sad about him.”

nThe commentator couldn’t help but remark on the sudden change in the stadium.

nIt was as said by the commentator. If anybody saw the scene taking place in the stadium right now, they’d probably think that Hiro had antagonized the entire opposition.

nIt truly appeared as if the entirety of the venue was against him.

nUpon hearing the jeers, Naoto turned to look at Hiro, casting a concerned gaze on him. Even though he was fully aware of the mentality he held, Naoto couldn’t help but feel worried about him.

nThe pressure was overwhelming to the extent that it even made him weak.

nSo, how could a kid who’s only sixteen fare off against such overwhelming pressure?

nHowever, when he turned to look at him, he found something strange. He might be imagining things but he definitely felt a cold aura leaking from Hiro.

nHiro appeared like a predator.

nThere wasn’t even a shed of fear oozing from him. Rather, he appeared more confident than ever. It was like he was a wounded lone soldier bathed in blood and covered in wounds, walking with a striking presence in a scene of carnage and destruction.

nThose voices that were booing him were like the resentment of the souls that had died in his hands. With each step he took, he could hear them growing louder.

nHe could palpably feel their resentment against him.

nBut it didn’t scare him.

nRather he felt comfort in it.

nRevealing a sinister grin on his youthful face, Hiro whispered under his breath, “The greater the commotion the greater the satisfaction.”

nWei Zen’s attitude might be the cause of it. But something had definitely changed in Hiro after he found out about his deception.

nHe felt that he had been quite naive to be deceived by such a low level of acting. More than anything else, he felt disgusted by the naive mentality he had.

nThere was already a lot going on in his life. Yet the people around him don’t give him any break. They come after him one after another.

nPreviously, he had assumed it merely as a fate.

nHe had thought that it was due to his popularity. But now that he faced an opponent who was taking advantage of his silence, he understood something— it wasn’t his fate but rather his weakness that had brought him into such a situation.

nIf only he had decided to act instead of remaining silent, the situation might have been different. If only he dared to fight back, it might have been different.

nThe one who got himself into this situation was himself.

nFinally, Hiro realized the fact.

nAnd the one to get him out of this misery would also have to be him. There won’t be anyone coming to his aid.

nHe has to drag him out of this misery himself.

nAn ominous intent flashed past Hiro’s eyes as he vowed to wipe off that smirk from Wei Zen’s

nface, “Just you wait you cunning fox…”

n“Are you okay?” Tatsuki timidly asked him. freewebnovel.cσ๓

nThere was an evident concern on his face. And he appeared quite worried about him.

nHiro looked at him deeply before answering, “Let’s play the best game of our life today.”

nTatsuki felt puzzled upon hearing him. But he also felt glad that Hiro didn’t seem affected by the jeers targeting him.

nHe was well aware of Hiro’s mental fortitude. But he felt even more mesmerized when he saw the calm and collected expression of Hiro at the moment.

nTatsuki nodded his head as he said with determination, “You’re right. Let’s silence this bunch of freaks.”

nAt the moment, Manager Nanami was thinking of substituting Hiro. After all, he had already done enough. So there wasn’t any need for him to go even further than this.

nBut he was also hesitating that it might affect him negatively if he brought him out so abruptly after he got booed. So, he couldn’t bring himself to decide.

n‘Let’s wait a bit more before deciding’

nUnable to decide, he put the matter on hold.

nHe wanted to have faith in Hiro. And he wanted him to overcome the situation himself. If he

nbrought him out, he would be depriving him of that opportunity.
