260  Grand stage for new skill

Inside a stadium filled with sea of passionate fans clad in different colours, an intense match was raging on the field.

Their cheers and chants were blending together to create an undulating wall of sound that echoed throughout the concrete structure, shaking the stadium to it's core.

Mixed with the cheers and jeers, sounds of drums could also be heard.

Beep!!

Suddenly as sound of a whistle sounded in the pitch, the electrifying atmosphere in the stadium came to a sudden halt.

However the next instant, those cheerful crowd began to spit daggers as they started to badmouth. Their expression turned ugly while their mouth started spitting venom.

"Just because you can't stop him, you're resorting to force." Grumpily yelled one of the spectator.

His eyes burning with indignation while his body was making different irritated gesture.

The situation of the people around him wasn't any different either. They all were expressing their dissatisfaction as well.

"That's foul for sure. However Hiro doesn't look that hurt. But thanks to Mohammad's timely intervention Saudi have prevented a potential goal. Although it's not inside the box, a freekick from this spot is still quite dangerous" commentator spoke as he commented about the situation unfolding in the pitch.

Right now at the field, players from both teams were clustered around the spot where Hiro was lying.

Their eyes filled with disdain and their expression a bit ugly, players of both the team were carrying hostility towards each other.

Players of both the team were shooting gaze full of disdain towards each other. And by the looks of it, it could be concluded that both the team were certainly not amicable towards each other.

However despite the evident rising tension between the two teams, referee was still handling the situation well.

Preventing both teams from clashing against each other, he was reaching his hands inside his pocket.

Sure enough, he was about to take his card out.

At the same time, Hiro was also trying to lift his body from the ground. Making use of his hands to propel himself upwards, Hiro was slowly rising with the support of his hands. The source of thɪs content is N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

The referee then brought his hands out of his pocket and lifted his hand high above his head while holding a yellow card in his hands.

"Sure enough, Mohammad was going to receive a booking at the least for that tackle" commented the commentator.

A lot of people in the stand expressed their dissatisfaction as they witnessed the action of referee bringing his card out.

Some dissatisfied with referee booking Mohammad while some dissatisfied with referee for bringing out a yellow card instead of a red card.

Hiro on the other hand, as if he wasn't concerned with the decision of referee feigned ignorance as he walked towards his teammates without even casting a glance at the player who had brought him down.

Right now about 60 minutes had already passed. And till this moment Japan were winning the game by a score of 3-1.

After the referee finished handing out the cards, players from both team started to cluster in the defensive third of Saudi Arabia.

A group of five players stood infront of the spot where the referee had marked with his vanishing spray to act as a wall.

Each and every single one of them being the tallest in their team, they covered every nook and canny, leaving no space for Hiro to exploit.

They didn't even spare the bottom as one of the player lied on the ground in an attempt to prevent Hiro from shooting the ball beneath the legs of the wall.

Their keeper who was about 6 feet tall was yelling at the top of his voice while guiding his teammates to position well.

While he was shouting such, restlessness could be seen in his eyes.

Hiro on the other hand was focusing on something else, right now. Although his eyes seemed like it was looking at the post, he wasn't actually looking at the post.

Instead right now, he was looking at the holographic blue panel which was floating infront of his eyes, completely invisible to other people besides him.

[Skill: Fireball Shot(S-??)]

[Skill description: enhances your shot power and technique while shooting from outside the box. While using this skill, host's shooting and technique stat will temporarily rise a rank]

[Number of usage: 3 per day]

[Note: Can't be used inside the penalty box meaning it's only applicable for long range shots]

[Hidden effect: if used while taking freekick host's stat will rise temporarily in accordance to the number of people present in the wall]

This skill was the reward which Hiro had obtained after shooting more than 500 times in one single sitting.

For Hiro who lacked a decent skill dedicated to freekick after the loss of his talent, Roberto Carlos's Freekick, it was a game changing skill.

Not only this skill enhanced his long range shots, it also provided him additional benefits while taking freekick.

Specially it's hidden effect which increased his stat in accordance to the number of player present at the wall was totally broken.

Right now because of the presence of six players in the wall, Hiro's shooting and technique stat had risen significantly.

For example right now, Hiro's shooting stat with a score of 77 was at rank B+ and his technique stat with a score of 79 was also at a rank B+, but now with the use of this newly obtained skill both his shooting and technique had risen a rank, meaning both of them had risen to 81.

However because of the hidden effects both his shooting and technique had gained +6 additional stat, meaning both his shooting and technique stats were right 87.

With such rise in his stats, Hiro could right now shoot at the same level as average professional players playing in the big league.

Although his skill could still not be compared with the world class experts, right now he could even score against 4 out of 10 freekicks even against top class keeper.
