Chapter 304 Qualifier finals XXI
But this 14 year old boy who was right now competing against those who were like 3 years older than him, people had totally disregarded his age given his performance.
Placing unrealistic expectations upon this fourteen year old kid, they were burdening him with their unrealistic hopes without realising the impact that would put on him.
Even those people who deem themselves as those who wouldn't have such high expectations from this fourteen year old kid right now were on their toes, expecting this kid to create a miracle and guide them to victory.
Right now while thousands and thousands of eyes were set on him, Hiro was swiftly moving along the field, avoiding the opposing players, navigating his way towards the goal.
While using his skill eagle eye and forcing himself to use lightning steps once again, despite surpassing it's daily usage limit already, Hiro was trying to surpass his limits right now in this moment.
While sprinting, he was so focused at moving forward and dodging the opposing players that he wasn't even turning back to look at the ball. It was as if he knew where the ball would land without even looking.
Should they chase after Hiro or should they solidify there defence to prevent the incoming ball? Right now opposing players were having difficulty thinking about their decision. Their thoughts were in turmoil.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKim Il-sung who could be said as the heart of their midfield, even he seemed like he was having difficulty making his decision.
His eyes seemed irritated while his brows were frowning. Constantly turning his head to shift his gaze between Hiro and the ball, he was hesitating to make his decision.
Looking above, he could see the ball approaching towards him and diverting his gaze downwards he could see the figure of Hiro sprinting forward while swiftly cutting through his teammates like a phantom.
The longer he took to make his decision, the more irritated and anxious his eyes got.
Finally after hesitating for a while, he took a one last glance at the ball which at that moment while covering the sun seemingly looked like a solar eclipse to him.
He then gritted his teeth as he made his decision after some analysis regarding the trajectory of the ball and the path of Hiro. Suddenly his eyes glowed with a faint cold light as he left his position and rushed towards Hiro like a wild boar.
Noticing the incoming Kim Il-sung, Hiro who was already pushing his limits panicked a little as his heart sank for a quick microsecond.
Considering the importance of Kim Il-sung in the defense of the opposing team, Hiro had mostly expected him to remain back to prepare for the incoming attack.
However that didn't mean that he hadn't completely eradicated the thought of him leaving his position to come after him.
While making this attack, he had taken many variables into consideration. And although Kim Il-sung leaving his position surprised him a bit, he wasn't shaken by his actions.
Quickly regaining his composure, Hiro made slight changes in his plan midway while running. He simply couldn't afford any kind of changes to spill water on his plans right now.
After moving forward for a while, all of a sudden he turned his back against Kim Il-sung as he prepared to trap the ball.
To Kim Il-sung it seemed like Hiro was trying to trap the ball in his chest. Thus just as Hiro turned his back against him, at first he tried to outmanoeuvre him.
'How the hell is he so sturdy?' Kim Il-sung was taken aback by Hiro's rigidity.
He never expected that this kid who wasn't even as jacked as him could withstand his strength without even breaking a sweat. He simply couldn't fathom how this kid who paled in comparison to his physique could stand still despite him trying his best to push him.
Exerting great amount of pressure to his muscle, Kim Il-sung repeatedly tried to outmanoeuvre Hiro. Yet no matter how hard he tried to push him, he couldn't even budge him in the slightest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was like as if he was pushing an unmovable mountain right now.
Unable to push Hiro, his heart started to panic as his eyes became extremely irritated. His pride took a hit.
Witnessing this scene from behind, Takeshi mused as he thought inwardly, 'Trying to push him? Good luck.... Even I have difficulty trying to push that sturdy monster and you think you can outmanoeuvre him? Hahahaha....'
Subconsciously Kim Il-sung rose his hands as he stretched towards Hiro. He then grabbed Hiro's jersey and tried to pull him back towards him.
Sure if he did that the referee would book him for sure. But so what? Is he getting booked more important than conceding a goal? If he could prevent this threat, then he was willing to make sacrifices.
Thus unknowingly he grabbed Hiro's jersey, hiding his malevolent intentions behind the facade of struggle. Outwardly he maintained his struggling expression while inwardly he was prepared to take a loss for his team.
Just as the ball was about to fall infront of him, Hiro who had been feeling a push since a moment ago suddenly felt someone trying to pull him back.
Because of the sudden change, Hiro was caught off-guard as he couldn't react on time. In that moment, Hiro then lost his footing and became unbalanced.
Without even needing to tell, he knew that his fall was inevitable. No matter how much of a superhuman strength he had, he simply couldn't lift his body mid-air.
While trying to endure the constant push of Kim Il-sung, he had already exhausted most of his strength.
Although to others it seemed like he was withstanding the pressure of Kim Il-sung with ease. However only he knows how much he was struggling to stand his ground.
Just as Hiro was about to fall, he did something totally unexpected. Catching almost everyone present in the stadium by surprise, while falling down, he stretched his leg towards the sky inturn hitting a halfhearted bicycle-kick.
