Chapter 267 Day-off
And by the time, Shun was about to open his mouth, Hiro had already left his sight and started running.
Although still tired, after finding Hiro jogging about some distance away from him, Shun immediately began to chase after Hiro.
Even though Hiro hadn't talked about anything special, the spark of determination which had been kindled within Shun since yesterday burned even more furiously as he became even more determined to improve himself.
Although hidden from the outside world, something was definitely taking place inside Shun right now.
While Hiro and Shun were running in the field infront of the hotel which they were staying, manager Haruki who had been observing those two since some moment ago lifted the corner of his lips.
His eyes sparkled and his face lit up.
Intently staring at the two of them, he then mumbled softly while letting out a subtle chuckle, "These two are the only ones from this entire team who are ready for the world cup"
Mumbling such, he then retracted his gaze away from those two and walked away.
Manager Haruki wasn't the only one who was watching these two boys right now. Kazan was also paying close attention to them.
Since the day of their arrival, he had been monitoring Hiro. From Hiro he could feel a deep sense of ambition which he couldn't feel from other players.
Although Shun wasn't part of his focus before, but now even Shun had entered his radar of focus.
"Another seed has started to sprout" Kazan mumbled in his husky voice while looking at the figure of those two boys running in the field.
His eerie black eyes seemed extremely mysterious while his indifferent expression further accentuated the mystery hidden behind that face.

Dressed in casual fitted fancy clothes, Hiro and the gang were right now standing infront of a huge glass door decorated by bright lights of different colours.
The world beyond the glass door was filled with the sounds of clanging machines, flashing lights and excited chatter.
That door which they were standing infront right now, seemed like an entrance to a fantasy world.
"We're finally here" excitedly spoke Yutaka.
His eyes reflecting the colourful lights coming from inside the door was glistening with joy and excitement. At the same time, cresent like smile was etched on his face.
"I'm gonna enjoy this moment to it's fullest" enthusiastically shouted another person from the group of people gathered around Hiro.
Hiro and the gang then slowly walked towards the door. And just as they pushed open the door, a gust of thick scent of sweat, popcorn, coke envaded their nose.
However nobody among them seemed bothered by the thick scent as most of them became even more excited upon entering through that glass door.
Compared to the air outside the door, the air inside the door was quite heavy.
A sharp contrast to the world outside the door, the place where they were standing right now was very colourful.
Every nook and canny of this huge place infront of them was being lit by led and neon lights of different colours.
Kids and teens of different age group were wandering around the aisles in search of their next game.
Right now, Hiro and the gang were inside an arcade. After their last victory, coaches had decided to award the player with a day-off where they could enjoy themselves to the fullest.
However not every player had chosen to visit the arcade. Their were quite a lot of players who had decided to do different activities.
"Should we try bowling first?" Yutaka spoke excitedly while pointing at bowling ball segment.
"No we should first try our luck on claw machines" another player rebuked.
"What are you all talking about? We should probably go over there first" Shun suggested while pointing at one of the segment.
Following the direction of Shun's finger, everybody turned to look at the direction pointed by his finger.
In the direction pointed by Shun's finger, a very attractive looking girl was leaning into a racing game. Her body swaying in time with the car's movement on the screen.
Her heart shaped face was framed by cascading waves of lustrous, honey-colored hair that tumbled down to her shoulders, occasionally catching the light and displaying a stunning array of golden hues.
With twinkling eyes that sparkled like stars, she exuded a captivating charm that drew people towards her effortlessly.
Immediately as they witnessed the figure of that girl, they were instantly charmed by her beauty; bewitched by her appearance. Hearts could be seen forming in their eyes.
A lot of players then began to express their agreement with Shun's suggestion.
"Yes, I agree with Shun" one of the player spoke while nodding his head with a straight face.
"I too agree"
"I agree as well"
"We should play some car games to pump our adrenaline"
Although every single one of those who agreed were trying to mask their emotions by displaying a straight face, one could tell just by looking at them that they had totally fallen head over heels for that girl in the racing segment.
Just like people charmed by succubus, they had completely lost their reasoning.
They had totally given in to their desire. And Hiro who was still clear-headed could clearly see behind those faces.
He knew that they couldn't be persuaded no matter what. Thus he readily agreed to their decision, "Those who want to go can go. Everybody's free to choo-"
Before Hiro could even finish his sentence, almost all of them who had entered the arcade with him, stormed towards the direction where the girl was seated.
"-se whatever they like to play" a bit slowly, he completed his sentence.
They were like hungry crocodiles, running towards their prey. Every single one of them wanted to reach the segment first. They all were competing among themselves.
