Chapter 274 Scale of victory
But now out of nowhere, he received the opportunity to get his hands on one of those wow-factors.
Before he was merely competing to redeem his teammates. But now upon receiving this quest, his motivation surged as he became extremely excited.
Such godly opportunity, how could he let it go? Thus without any sort of hesitation, Hiro immediately accepted the quest.
Just as he accepted the quest, a bright light flashed in his eyes as it glowed with determination. Unwittingly he revealed an extremely excited smile on his face.
However Seung-gyu who was staring at Hiro mistook Hiro's expression as he found Hiro's smile extremely provocative. It was like Hiro was laughing at him, mocking him.
Because of that misunderstanding, Park Seung-gyu became extremely furious. Rage started boiling inside him like boiling tar.
At the same time, veins started popping out of his neck and hands.
Seung-gyu gnashed his teeths as he shot gaze full of fury towards Hiro.
The only thing he hated the most in the world was to be looked down. And right now, he felt like he was being looked down by Hiro.
'Damn!! Whose face did I see early in the morning to get such a good opportunity? Almost every single one of his wow-factor is of grade A' Hiro mused inwardly as he exited the system.
However just as he shut the system panel, he was met with Seung-gyu's gaze full of fury. Hiro couldn't understand why Seung-gyu was glaring him like that.
He was quite perplexed by Seung-gyu's gaze.
'Ehh!! Did I do something wrong to him?' Hiro thought whilst still locking eyes with Park Seung-gyu, pondering if he did something wrong.
Hiro's aloof behaviour however further instigated the fury rising within Seung-gyu.
'Just you wait Takahashi Hiro. I'll make sure to strip that smile from your face until the end of this competition' thinking so, Seung-gyu returned back and joined his teammates.
After that without heeding any attention to Seung-gyu's gaze full of fury, Hiro stepped infront for his turn with a newfound motivation.
As the intensity of the competition rose, even more people started to show up around them. The loud sound of cheers coming from the crowd gathered around them managed to catch the attention of almost everybody present in the arcade.
Taking advantage of such a massive crowd, Kim Tae-ri who was present in the crowd brought her phone out of her pocket and started streaming.
However she wasn't the only one who was streaming this intense battle happening infront of them right now. Many other people gathered around them were doing the same thing- recording and streaming the battle.
The penalty shootout ended up with the victory of South Korea. Although Hiro managed to score three of his penalty, he still couldn't takeover Korea's lead.
South Korean players barely won the penalty shootout with a score of 8-7.
And because of that right now the morale of their side was quite high. With each and every single one of them wearing big wide grin on their faces, they seemed extremely joyous.
Amidst the raging celebration, appearance of Hiro's teammates seemed rather unsightly. Their listless eyes were filled with disappointment and indignance.
Just like a hole formed within the sky filled with dark clouds, a sharp contrast to the gloomy faces around him, Hiro's face however showed no reaction. It was as if he wasn't affected by the loss in the slightest.
Why would he feel sad? His side had only lost penalty shootout not the deal. The deal was to score the most number of goals from freekick and penalty.
And right now, only one half of the battle was over. The rest was still yet to be decided.
"As you all can see right now our players are in the lead" Kim Tae-ri excitedly exclaimed in her cheerful voice, announcing the result of the penalty shootout to her viewers.
While she was streaming, her phone was getting bombarded with comments one after the other.
Many kinds of emojis which were floating one after the other was making her phone glow in different colours.
An anonymous viewer with nickname Jukbal commented, "Sister Kim Tae-ri is the prettiest in the world"
Right after his comment several other comments of anonymous viewers were piling one after other
"Let's go boys"
"Brother Park Seung-gyu is the pride of our nation (heart emoji×3)"
"Those Japanese kids shouldn't have messed with us (angry emoji×2)"
Most of the comments were either berating Japanese national u17 team or praising their players or supporting their team or flattering Kim Tae-ri the streamer.
There were also some comments which were complimenting Hiro's looks. And judging by the nicknames, most of those commenters seemed like females.
One of the anonymous viewer nicknamed Pretty Noona commented, "That Japanese guy looks like an Idol (heart eyes emoji×3)"
Because of such comments which were complimenting Hiro's looks, even Kim Tae-ri couldn't help herself from taking peek of Hiro.
While staring at Hiro, Kim Tae-ri's face which as white as snow turned red as she found Hiro quite attractive.
"He does look quite good" she whispered under her breath while letting out a subtle chuckle.
The scale of victory which was tilting towards the side of South Korea a moment ago started tilting towards Japan as the next round of the battle commenced.
Bam!!
"Woooooooooaaaaaahhhh!!!" Shun and the rest yelled out of excitement as they celebrated Hiro's third freekick goal in a row.
Although the crowd was as energetic as ever, some people looked rather solemn.
Their eyes were filled with awe and disbelief.
"He's really on a roll"
"It's his third in a row, right?" One of the person from the crowd, asked with a dazed look on his face.
The guy beside him wasn't any different either as he nodded his head. His eyes were filled with awe and disbelief.
Why you may ask some people looked rather dazed than excited?
It's because while Park Seung-gyu was only capable to score one out of three shots he had shot, Hiro had managed to slot each and every single one of his shot without any mistake.
The scene had completely reversed. The same bunch of South Korean players who were rejoicing their teams victory a moment ago now had gone completely silent.
Their cheerful eyes were now filled with horror and despair. The flash of hope shining in their eyes was dimming with every passing minutes.
