Their reaction didn't surprise Hiro. After all, it was well within his expectations. Then he slowly removed the mask and said, "Then what about now? Do you still doubt the credibility of my words?"
"What? It's Hiro!"
Upon the revelation, the surrounding was plunged into turmoil as the kids exclaimed deep shock in their faces. Their eyes opened wide, their mouth agape, and their entire being shook with a mixed feeling of surprise, joy, and disbelief.
Immediately, they ran to Hiro and surrounded him. Wearing an exhilarated expression, they clung to him as they began to ask for his autograph. Many asked him to sign their jerseys while many begged for a photo.
The uproar immediately caught the attention of other passersby, raising their curiosity.
"What's happening over there?"
Intrigued by the commotion before them, they got closer to inspect. Just as they got closer, at the center of the crowd, they caught a glimpse of Hiro.
"IT'S HIRO!" one of the individuals shouted.
Immediately after that, more and more people rushed to the scene. Hiro, however, remained calm despite the pressure.
"I tell you all. Senior Endo is one of the finest keepers I've seen," Hiro continued to vouch for Endo even while receiving their request.
Endo could see through Hiro's intention. The reason why he was vouching so dearly for him was to help him build his reputation.
Since Endo had to retire early, he didn't have the opportunity to build his reputation. So, there'd definitely arrive a time when he'd get questioned for his lack of achievements.
But with such great words from him, it'd help him establish his prestige in the squad.
This would definitely make his work a lot easier.
Seeing through Hiro's intentions, Endo couldn't help but feel thankful to him. There wasn't any need for him to go out of his way to say those words.
"Thank you, Hiro," Endo whispered as he expressed his gratitude.

In a stadium teeming with passionate fans, the match was in full throttle. The thunderous roar of the crowd echoed throughout the arena, vibrating through every corner and crevice.
"The opposing number four tricked everybody. He made it seem as if he couldn't mark Tatsuki. But he had intentionally left him unmarked. So, when the opportunity arrived he bore
his fangs that he had kept hidden until now," Hiro calmly answered.
Capitalizing on the opportunity, the opposing team immediately launched a counterattack, catching the players of Kawasaki off-guard.
The counterattack ended with a goal as they took the lead in the game, disappointing almost the entirety of the stadium.
In today's match, the supporters of Kawasaki completely overwhelmed the visiting
supporters.
The goal scored by the opposing team sent ripples throughout the stadium as the opposing fans burst out of excitement. Their collective energy surged, muffling the disappointed sigh
of the opposing fans.
Cheering on their players, they expressed their emotions fully.
Even so, Hiro didn't look worried. Calm and collected, he continued to observe the celebration
of the opposing players.
"Aren't you worried?" seeing him unfazed, Eric couldn't help but ask.
"Why should I be worried?" Hiro responded calmly.
"Your team is losing and only fifteen minutes are remaining on the clock," Eric said.
"A lot could happen in fifteen minutes," Hiro responded with the same calmness as before.
Eric could only agree with him. After all, it was as he said, a lot could happen in fifteen
minutes.
"Well, even if they lose this game, you have already won the league. But for the opposing side, their future depends on it. So, it's only natural for them to play with such intensity," Eric
added.
Kawasaki had already won the league. So, this match was of little to no importance to them. But for Sapporo who were battling relegation, this match was of utmost importance to them.
