<h4>Chapter 76 Rondo</h4>


    By the time the evening training came to an end, the sun was already on the verge of setting down.


    And as such after punishing the reserve yers for their selfish deeds, manager Nozomi concluded the end of the evening training.


    While the yers who were running on the field stayed overtime toplete their punishment, other yers started to head towards the shower to clean themselves.


    Apanied by Yuya, Shunta and Shun, he made his way outside the pitch.


    While making his way outside the pitch, he removed his training bib and upper jersey which waspletely soaked from his sweat.


    And just as he undressed his upper body, he flipped his jersey atop his shoulder and mumbled after letting out a deep sigh;


    "Huff!!! Finally I can rest now. From Tokushima to Kawasaki. And without any rest, a match on my first day. Man I''m exhausted!"


    "But I do feel sorry for those guys. Even after running for about an hour, they still have to run more." He continued.


    "Those guys deserved it." Yuya replied sounding somewhat angry while turning his head towards the yers who were running on the field.


    "Yeah those guys deserved it." Shunta and Shun nodded their head and voiced their opinions.


    Hiro couldn''t refute their statements.


    "Haha.... Yeah!! You''re right." Hiro stretched his right hand towards the back of his head and revealed an awkward smile while scratching his scalp.


    Faster!! Faster!!


    While their training had came to an end, the training of U-18 team was still going on. Under manager Makoto''s guidance, the U-18 yers were ying rondo.


    Three groups consisting of eight yers each were ying rondo in the U-18 pitch.


    Rondo is a type of game, simr to keep away that is used mostly as a form of training drill by the football clubs.


    In this game a group of yers is tasked with the responsibility of keeping possession of the ball whilepleting a series of passes, while the other group of yers (sometimes only a single yer) tries to take the possession.


    "Oh they''re ying rondo." Hiro mumbled in awe while turning his gaze towards the U-18 pitch.


    With a temporary white spray, several patterns were drawn across the pitch. And each of those three group were ying inside those patterns, drawn on the pitch.


    One group was ying inside a circle, another was ying inside a square and the final one was ying in a triangle.


    While six yers were standing at the boundary line of the patterns, two yers were positioned at the middle of those six yers.


    While those group of six yers were tasked with keeping possession of the ball, the pair of two yers on the field was trying to take the possession of the ball from those group of six yers.


    With swift and timely passes, the six yers were trying their best to avoid those two yers. And those two yers were also trying their best to win the ball back.


    "Yeah!! It''s an everyday scene. Since their training ends about half an hourter than us, their coach always makes them y rondo at the end of their training session." Shun replied.


    "The keeper needs to join the game as well?" Hiro asked while pointing at the two groups with keeper.


    "Yup. Everybody needs to join it. No exception." Shun replied.


    "Now let''s go. Judging from your skills, you''ll probably get to suffer the training of U-18 by next year. So don''t worry, your time wille. Hahaha" Saying such, Shun and the others began to walk towards the building.


    He then casted a final nce at the U-18 pitch and stormed towards the building to join his friends.


    Since he was still new to the club, he needed to stick with his teammates to get familiarised with his surrounding.


    **** ****


    Before heading into the shower, they stopped by the changing room.


    "ce your jersey here. The club will do theundry." Yuya mumbled while pointing at a huge basket ced at the changing room.


    "But do remember that the club will only take care of your jersey''s. Your personal clothes, you need to wash it yourself. So don''t you ever put your shocks or other clothes in the basket like someone once did." Yuya continued while staring at Shunta.


    "What!! That was only one time. And I wasn''t familiar with the rule." Shunta mumbled sounding somewhat irritated.


    "Hahaha.... Yeah!! Along with his jersey, he even put his underwear in the basket." Shun burst out inughter while revealing Shunta''s embarrassing past.


    Since the changing room in the hostel building was connected to the shower room, Shunta had once undressed himselfpletely and put all his clothes into the basket including his underwear before heading to the shower butt naked.


    "So do remember you can only put your jersey here. Only jersey!!" Saying such the three of them undressed themselves and put their jersey inside the basket.


    Since Hiro had already taken off his upper jersey, he only needed to undress his lower half at that time. Thus after taking off his half pants, he threw his jersey inside therge basket infront of him.


    A moment ago, they hadn''t paid any attention towards his body because of the ongoing events. But now that they paid attention to his body, they couldn''t help but notice his muscles.


    "Woah!! Look at those muscles. Who knew he''d be hiding such defined muscles underneath his clothes." Shun mumbled in awe upon witnessing his muscr body.


    "Yeah!! Look at those abs. He''s got six pack abs." Saying such Shunta turned his gaze towards his stomach.


    "Man I''m jealous of his body." Shunta whined sounding somewhat jealous.


    "May I touch those muscles?" Shun asked while moving his hands closer towards him.


    "No man!! That''s gross." Saying such, Hiro took a step back.


    "Haha... Don''t be shy man. I''m not into boys." Shun burst out inughter.


    And so did the other two. However Hiro was still getting creepy vibes from Shun and thus he stormed towards the shower room.


    The three of them followed behind him while teasing him.


    "So what if he''s got a muscr body. Skill is what matters." Hirato who was standing at the door waiting for them to get undressed, so that he could put his jersey inside the basket, mumbled sounding somewhat annoyed by Hiro and his gang''s conversation while staring at them.


    "And he''s skillfull too." Takekazu who was standing beside him, spoke.


    Takekazu''s statement was like salt to his wounds. And thus, after hearing his statement, he got even more irritated.
