Chapter 294 Qualifier finals XI
But now as he heard Shun's statement, something clicked inside him. It was like as if the layer of fog which was clouding his mind had suddenly got lifted up.
As he figured out the reason behind his unsettling feelings, unwittingly Hiro then blurted out, "So that's it..."
It was so random that Shun who was walking beside him was startled by Hiro's voice. For a split second he felt like he had fallen from a cliff. He then immediately jolted his eyes towards Hiro, looking somewhat disturbed, "What??"
Faced with Shun's startling gazes, Hiro came to a realisation. He realised that he had acted without thinking. Thus he immediately regained his composure before speaking in a manner as if he had gained a spark of inspiration, "I've figured out a plan. A plan which will increase our probability of winning"
Upon hearing Hiro's response, Shun's startling gazes shone with curiosity as he became extremely curious about the so called plan mentioned by Hiro.
If it were any other person, he wouldn't have been this curious. But it was non other than Hiro. If he had thought of some plan then it was bound to be amazing and effective.
As such Shun's eyes grew impatient as he asked hurriedly, unable to hold himself back, "Quick.. quick tell me what's the plan?"
Hiro however snubbed his curiosity as he replied, "Wait for a while. I'll explain it in the locker room"
It wasn't the answer he wanted to hear. Thus the curiosity in Shun's eyes dimmed as his once curious gaze was replaced with a frown.
Even so, he didn't rebuke. Instead he answered in a longing tone, "Then let's hurry up so that we'll have enough time to improvise"
Saying so in an impatient manner, Shun then increased his pace as he walked briskly towards the tunnel.
Not only did he increase his own pace, he even urged other players infront of him to walk fast.
'If I'm not wrong, Park Seung-gyu is probably saving his energy to use it in the final moment. Otherwise why would he not exert his full effort despite having countless amazing wow-factors?' looking at the briskly walking figure of his teammates, Hiro contemplated.
'Although I have not seen much of his matches in my previous life. But there were moments when he'd bring out his explosive pace. But today he hadn't done that often'
Hiro wasn't the only one who was contemplating as of this moment. Park Seung-gyu who was walking towards the tunnel with a solemn look on his face was doing the same as well.
'No matter how amazing he is, I'm sure even he has got his limits. Even in the footage of his previous matches, I haven't seen him pull that instant acceleration thing for more than twice. But how could someone accelerate so fast? He's probably god gifted. But even so, his body is still that of human. And there's barely much a human body can do. Not to mention accelerating like that multiple times. I'm sure that it would put a lot of strain on his body. So may be that's why he always refrains such strenuous movement from using more than twice' absentmindedly contemplating about Hiro's actions, completely detached from his surrounding Park Seung-gyu made his way towards the tunnel.
Although he seemed totally calm from outside, right now when his teammates looked at him, they could feel their heart tremble. It was like the calm before the storm.
Thus subconsciously almost every single one of his teammates avoided Park Seung-gyu at this moment.
They deliberately tried to maintain a distance from him. Even when getting close to him, they could a feel bone chilling aura penetrating their body to it's core.
Geniuses are really something else. Even at the moment of despair, they would remain calm and expressionless. And their mentality was like that of a monster, unwavering and unfazed.
However at this moment, Lee Hae-won dared to approach this guy whom everybody were desperately trying to avoid.
"Do you know that you and that number 10 kid from the opposing team are kinda similar?" Lee Hae-won tried to initiate a conversation.
Immediately Park Seung-gyu lossened his stiff expression as he slightly lifted the corner of his lips while turning towards Lee Hae-won.
"How so?" Park Seung-gyu questioned with a smile on his face.
Similar to snow melting under the sun, the coldness in Park Seung-gyu's eyes had melted away and right now it was nowhere to be seen.
His deep gazes looking at Park Seung-gyu, revealed an amicable glow as he answered frankly without beating around the bush.
"You both exude a threatening aura while inside the box. It's like you both can smell the goal"
Although he was being frank, the answer was rather vague. It was more of a hunch than an analysis from which Park Seung-
gyu could benefit.
And from this vague answer, Park Seung-gyu couldn't find anything useful. Even so he didn't scorn Lee Hae-won's suggestion.
Giving an understanding nod, Park Seung-gyu acted like he appreciated Lee Hae-won's opinion, "I see. Then we should prevent him from breaking our defensive line as much as we can"
"I'll be counting on you" Lee Hae-won revealed an amicable smile.
"Hiro...."
At this time while exiting the pitch, Hiro heard someone shouting his name. Just like the players, fans were also temporarily leaving the stand to either get something to eat or freshen up.
There were even those fans who were clicking photos of players and themselves.
Even though the stadium was filled with different kinds of noises,the reason why Hiro noticed that call was because the person who was calling his name was repeatedly shouting his name without any stop.
And after having his name called repeatedly like that, even he couldn't continue to ignore the call. Afterall that could be a fan. And ignoring a desperate call of a fan would only ruin his reputation.
And it wouldn't seem polite either. Thus Hiro turned to look at the direction of the sound.
