Chapter 273 Glimpse of future
Sure the hidden effects were great. However he had no control over the hidden effects. It was more like a hunch.
The hidden skill was just too random.
But still something's better than nothing.
'Well it did say that it was an upgradable skill. So may be it got upgraded the moment when I upgraded the system' Thinking so he stopped pondering about the skill and diverted his attention to Park Seung-gyu.
Before it was somebody else from their team who was taking the penalty kick. But now Park Seung-gyu himself had stepped on the field.
Not only was Park Seung-gyu extremely cunning, he was also talented. Similar to Hiro, Park Seung-gyu had made a name for himself. He was the next big thing emerging out from South Korea.
Since the time Hiro had landed his eyes on Seung-gyu, a strange feeling of nostalgia was gnawing upon him. As if he had seen Seung-gyu somewhere before but wasn't being able to recall accurately, he was having quite a hard time.
To appease his curiosity and to gain some foresight, Hiro then decided to use his skill magic vision.

Under the effect of the skill, Park Seung-gyu's stats became visible to Hiro.
However upon seeing such ridiculously powered stats, Hiro's eyes couldn't help but reveal extreme shock. Not only was this stat the most impressive he had seen till now, it was also better than his stats to some extent.
Specially shooting, it was a grade higher than his. Based on this stat, one could say that Park Seung-gyu was already more than ready to step onto the professional stage.
'What's with this ridiculous stat? Even with the help of the system I've only managed to equal him. Not to mention those wow-factors, what kind of effect does those wow-factors have on him. By the looks of it, he's a natural born number 9' mesmerized by the ridiculous stat of Park Seung-gyu, Hiro couldn't help but think highly of Park Seung-gyu.
Although Hiro seemed indifferent from outside, right now Hiro's eyes were glowing with complicated emotions like admiration, determination, fear and shock.
While he was still in awe, his eyes suddenly blossomed with bright light as a thought perked up inside his head, 'Yeah... It's him. The guy from Korea who was signed by AC Milan at the age of 22'
Finally Hiro managed to recall the identity of the guy infront of him. And the moment he recalled the identity of Park Seung-gyu, his eyes sparked with brilliant light as it glowed with admiration.
Even though, Seung-gyu was his opponent and also the man who had plotted against him, he still couldn't help himself from looking at Seung-gyu with gaze full of admiration.
This boy right infront of him had managed to get signed by a club full of history and great players. The club where great players like Pirlo, Maldini, Kaka and many others played, he had managed to play for such a great club.
However the glow in his eyes didn't last long as it faded immediately after a while. Hiro then heaved a deep sigh before thinking, 'Sigh.... Although he managed to sign for AC Milan and also managed to score decent number of goals, he got injured after two years just when he started to perform well. After that he was forced to leave the club.'
Those eyes which were displaying admiration just a moment ago, now was filled with pity.
Hiro's sigh became even more deeper as he thought about the miserable fate that this boy infront of him had yet to suffer, 'Afterwards because of his injury, he retired at the age of 26. No wonder I failed to recognise him. Sigh!!'
"Woohoo!!"
"Woooooooooaaaaaahhhh!!"
While he was still pondering about the future of the boy infront of him, he was brought back to reality by the electrifying sound of cheers coming from the crowd around him.
Coming back to reality, he noticed that the ball was already slotted inside the post.
At the same time, his teammates who were standing beside him were grumbling while making disappointed faces.
"I hate that smile..."
"No wonder he suggested this competition.."
"Tch- he had been toying with us"
On the other hand, players of South Korea were ecstatically celebrating Seung-gyu's goal.
All those pondering had made him miss the shot taken by Seung-gyu.
Diverting his gaze towards Seung-gyu, Hiro found Seung-gyu looking at his direction with a bright smile on his face.
'So how do you like my shot kiddo?' Thinking such, Park Seung-
gyu was smiling at Hiro with a complacent look on his face.
However little did he know, Hiro wasn't even paying attention to his shot on the first place. The shot which he was so proud of, Hiro didn't even witness it.
I wonder what kind of expression Seung-gyu would have made if he found that out.
'Is he expecting me to say something?' Hiro thought while locking eyes with Seung-gyu.
The way Seung-gyu was staring at him made him wonder if Seung-gyu was expecting something from him.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
'May be he wants me to applaud him' thinking such, Hiro then started to clap his hands.
However the moment he started to clap his hands, Seung-
gyu's smile froze on his face as his eyes started twitching, 'Is that kid mocking me?'
[Ding!]
At this moment, sound of notification from the system rung inside his ears.
Although he was already used to hearing this sound, he was still a bit surprised upon hearing this sound out of nowhere.
The sound of the notification made him stop his hands.
