chapter 636: stunned crowd



the gentle breeze rustling around gently caressed hiro while he stood firm. on the opposing side, yamada and a few other veterans stood.

the mini-match was about to begin and the team had been allocated at random.

on hiro's side, they had naoto, ito, kubo, and kein. the opposing team consisted of yamada, endo, aya, mitoma, and tomiyasu.

with most of them being starters, it looked like nanami had deliberately made this setup.

hiro, however, wasn't intimidated.

before continuing, hiro looked at his stat. despite the harsh training, they had gone through, hiro found out that he still had enough stamina left for the match.

'three times and i'm done. so, i need to be careful.' hiro contemplated.

beep!

the match started.

it being a mini-game, the duration wasn't long. so, they didn't need to hold themselves back. instead, they could jump right into action.

immediately, hiro scanned the pitch.

hiro had a limited energy reserve but he wasn't planning on playing safe. so, without restraining himself, he immediately utilized most of his skills.

hiro hadn't simultaneously used multiple skills at the same time previously. but he wanted to find out if it would affect him if he spammed multiple skills during a game.

in a way, this match was an experimental match for him.

on the sideline, the non-participating players were intently observing the match. they were curious about the winner. more than a mini-game, it was more like a clash between two playmakers of the team.

so, they were even more interested in the match.

though hiro was at a disadvantage, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that both sides were evenly matched to some extent.

immediately, mitoma sprang forward with the ball.

utilizing his dribbling prowess, he easily passed kubo. but he was cornered almost immediately by hiro and kein. however, he didn't flinch despite being cornered.

rather he tried to force his way through them.

hiro who had already figured out multiple possible routes mitoma would take, gestured for kein and ito to stand close.

in the meantime, hiro was already rushing from the center. it was the space kubo had left vacant. striking the ball with his heel, kubo delivered a backheel pass to hiro.

by switching to the flanks, kubo had drawn yamada and endo to him.

however, he didn't manage to draw them to him. they were clever enough to cover the vacant space they would leave if they left their position.

so, even though kubo managed to pass the ball to hiro, he wasn't entirely open.

both yamada and endo could reach him instantly. on top of that, hiro also had to face tomiyasu, a sketchy defender to beat.

it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that hiro had to take on the entire team if he wanted to get a chance at scoring.

hiro, however, was calm. though he noticed their presence, he wasn't panicking. instead, he was already searching for his options.

before he controlled the ball, his pupils rolled vigorously, scanning the entire field. he found himself trapped and the space limited.

but surprisingly he also felt relieved upon finding himself in that predicament. it was the moment like this he had been waiting to test his newly acquired talent.

with limited space, lack of maneuverability, and multiple opponents, it was the perfect condition to test the efficiency of phantom steps.

instantly after he got the ball, hiro's movement became erratic.

the eyes staring at him were dilapidated at the sight.

"what kind of movement are those?"

with stunned gazes, the spectators watched him. they were confused and awed. some even

began to see afterimages.

"what's going on? am i seeing things?"

they were astonished.

yamada lunged at hiro from the side, his feet aiming at the ball. 'i got it.' he rejoiced. the

delight on his face lasted briefly before it vanished.

'huh? didn't i get him?' he thought, confusion and frustration evident in his gaze.

before long, hiro breezed past endo and tomiyasu.

they were caught off-guard. but before they could even react, he was already behind them.
