Chapter 341 Greed
?While the onlookers around him were still enthralled by his moves, Hiro upon hearing the notification of the system slightly curled his lips.
As much as it was fun to execute those moves, it was quite tiring as well.
Given his physicality, he had no problem. But executing those complex sets of moves sure exhausted his mental energy.
After all, he had to concentrate deeply to execute those moves.
Strangely enough, despite dribbling being his forte, Hiro found Mateo's dribbling style rather unique. And only after trying to mimic it multiple times, had he figured out the uniqueness of this simple but effective dribbling style.
But still, he was quite elated about the outcome.
Not only had his knowledge about dribbling broadened, but now he could even copy a talent possessed by such an amazing player.
Those hours he had put into analyzing his game, those efforts he had put into figuring out his playstyle, every effort he had put into this quest felt like it was worth it at this moment.
While he was feeling grateful about the effort he had put into it, the system directed him to his rewards. Oddly enough there weren't that many talents he could choose from the set of talents Mateo possessed given his expectations.
Contrary to his expectations, unlike Park Seung-Gyu, Mateo had a limited reserve of talent. However, every single one of them was of huge help to Mateo.
[Equilibrium(S), Phantom steps(S), Heart of steel(S), Dribbling King(SS)]
These four talents in particular piqued his interest.
'A talent that could increase your balance while dribbling, a talent similar to that of skill lightning steps but only activates in cases of throw balls, a talent to fortify your mentality, and a talent of the highest caliber I've seen until now'
Every single one of those talents was impressive. And every single one of those talents complimented each other greatly.
Truly those combination of talents could make anyone a skilled dribbler. Also, Hiro being a dribbler himself, every single one of those talents could be of great help to him.
Upon seeing those impressive assets, Hiro was overcome with desire to the point of salivating over them.
Selecting one among those fine sets of talents was torture.
How could he only select one when there were so many good pieces of stuff in front of him? No matter what he chooses, a lingering taste of regret would be left in his mouth.
But even so, no matter how much he wished to possess all four of those special talents, he'd have to suppress his desires and make his own choices.
However, he still couldn't afford to decide in a hurry. He'd have to carefully consider and select one talent that would be of great help to him in the upcoming tournament.
So for now, he decided to delay his picking and focus on the training instead. After all the training had yet to come to an end.
And it was only wise to be careful when picking.
Exhaling a mouth full of turbid air, Hiro then hurried over to his teammates. No sooner had he joined his teammates, he was met with his teammate's captivated stares and questions filled with curiosity and bewilderment.
"How did you execute such flawless moves?"
"Will you teach me those moves?"
Bombarded by questions, he spent his time answering their questions.
"Enough rest. Now everybody gather up, we'll do some drills"
The coach's voice rang out as he commanded everybody to gather up for some training drills.
Upon hearing his loud voice, players dragged their lethargic bodies towards him. Although they were still exhausted, they had no choice but to obey his commands.
"It must have been really hard to maintain your center of balance while executing those moves right?" while making their way towards the coach, Yutaka intoned; pointing out the most important thing required to execute those skillful moves.
As soon as he heard his comments, Hiro turned his gaze to Yutaka, surprised by what he had said.
Exactly as mentioned by him, it was extremely important to maintain one's center of balance while executing those moves.
More than those fancy footwork and movement, bodily gestures and balance played a huge role in acquiring those skills.
Even Hiro who had spent days learning about it had only figured it out recently. But Yutaka immediately pointed out his day's worth of finding in one single glance.
At this moment, Hiro was both amazed and terrified by his observation. But even so, he couldn't bring himself to act utterly surprised.
Thus, no sooner had he displayed an expression full of shock on his face, than he immediately recomposed his composure.
'He truly is a genius... Pity, that his mentality is holding him back from achieving his true potential'
Hiro thought while frowning his brows, pitying Yutaka.
As the sun began to rise, casting a warm glow on the field, the training intensified. Hiro and his teammates engaged in a series of challenging drills, each one designed to improve their agility, speed, and teamwork.
Zigzagging between cones, expertly weaving through obstacles like dancers in pursuit of perfection, every single one of them engaged in the drills designed by the coaches with utmost diligence and obedience.
Although a lot of players complained about the intensity of the training, still they carried out their tasks with diligence.
And as morning light grew stronger so did the intensity of their training. In conditioned drills and relentless scrimmages, Hiro and his teammates tested their mettle against each other.
Finally, after a long, arduous training session when the morning sun had fully risen and the field was bathed in its light, the training session came to an end.
Tattered and exhausted beyond their limits, no sooner had the coach announced the end of morning training than almost everybody collapsed on the floor.
Their sweat-drenched body lay atop the grassy field as they tried to find solace in the refreshing coldness of the surface beneath their tired ass body.
