<h4>Chapter 211 Ultimate Showdown I</h4>


    Dressed in striped light blue and blush pink coloured jersey, yers of Sagan Tosu U-18 were standing in a queue at one side of the tunnel.


    Queued up side by side were the yers of Kawasaki who were dressed in their home jersey which was abination of dark ck and dark blue.


    There wasn''t much gap between the two teams at the moment, just enough to fit two people side by side.


    Despite the limited gap, yers of both sides were mostly minding their own business and rarely interacting with each other.


    Some yers praying while some yers looking unbothered, some yers eyes glowing with determination while some yers eyes desperately trying to focus, overall the atmosphere inside the tunnel seemed pretty tensed.


    While the front part of the tunnel was illuminated by the bright lighting from outside the tunnel, most part of the tunnel was dark and dimly lit by red light.


    Bright light wasn''t the only thing which wasing from outside the tunnel. Thunderous sounds of cheers was also reverberating from outside the tunnel.


    Reflecting the red light, Hiro''s sharp brown eyes were glowing crimson red, seemingly looking like eyes of demon.


    Behind him, his teammates were standing in an erect position just like soldiers preparing to go on a war.


    Hearing the roars of the fansing from infront, most yer''s heart was pounding faster. And with every passing seconds, some yers were getting even more anxious.


    Even Hiro who was usually calm on such situation was quite exhrated by the cheers of the fansing from outside the tunnel.


    Slightly lowering his head, Hiro then raised his right hand as he tried to feel his heartbeat.


    Dung!! Dung!!


    And for sure, his heart was pounding faster.


    ''I wonder how many people are present in the stadium today. Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? No, judging by the sounding from outside the tunnel, it seems like that there''s even more spectators today'' thought Hiro as he slowly raised his head to look infront of him.


    The mere thought about performing infront of so many people thrilled him.


    And that feeling of thrill further fueled his determination as the me in his eyes burnt uncontrobly.


    "Now let us wee the yers of both the teams who''ll be performing today"


    Just then they heard the announcement of thementator. And as they heard the announcement of thementator, both the team started moving.


    Step!! Step!! Step!!


    The more closer he got to the entrance of the tunnel, the more clearly and loudly Hiro heard the roars of the fans.


    p!! p!! p!!


    Finally as he exited the tunnel, what awaited him and other yers was a thunderous sound of cheers and apuse from the numerous fans seated at the stands.


    "Honey, look our son hase out" pointing her finger at the direction of Hiro, Hiro''s mother eximed.


    "This is only the begining honey. We''ll have to get used to seeing him on the big stage" replied Takashi while making a proudful expression.


    Both of his parents were truly grateful to see him progressing in his life. Both of them were aware of his love for football, thus they were genuinely happy seeing him standing on such a big stage.


    Slowly sweeping his gaze across the huge stadium, Hiro felt even more exhrated as his heart started beating faster.


    His heart wasn''t pounding because of anxiousness, rather it was pounding out of excitement.


    With only few seats unupied, almost the entire seat of the stadium was currently upied by numerous fans.


    ''Woah!! I''m going to perform infront of this many people'' Hiro mumbled in disbelief inside his heart.


    He couldn''t help but feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of people present in the stands.


    The 68000 capacity National Stadium was filled almost to the brim.


    Even so, Hiro maintained hisposure as he kept his cool.


    However not everybody had such abilities as Hiro. In presence of that many people, legs of most of the yers had softened and their face had gotten a bit pale.


    The sheer number of fans present in the stadium had overwhelmed them to the point that they were starting to ckout.


    "Soo.... Soo... Soo many people" Shun shuddered as beads of sweat started forming on his forehead even before the start of the match.


    Not only Shun but almost every yer from the both the teams felt a cold sweat prating their body.


    This was their first time performing infront of that many people. So obviously they''d be overwhelmed.


    Standing at the pitch right now, their earlier preparation to steel their mind seemed totally useless as their mind started to go nk.


    Inhaling a deep breath, Hiro inhaled the crisp cold air as he tried to freshen his mind.


    "Finally the day to decide the ultimate winner hase. And I''m really grateful to get invited to be thementator for such an amazing match" spoke thementator.


    His voice carrying a hint of gratefulness, his voice was resonating all over the pitch.


    And while thementator wasmenting, coin toss was taking ce between the leader of both team to decide the side of the pitch.


    "One team with an impressive record of 22 match undefeated while the other team barely managed to clench the spot at the final, regardless of their situation, both of this two team fully deserve to be standing on this pitch right now."


    And as the coin toss concluded, yers of both the team shook hands onest time before positioning themselves in their respective position.


    Standing over his position, Hiro took a final nce at the system screen.


    [Quest: Score a perfect hattrick]


    [Requirements toplete the quest: Score with your left foot, score with your right foot and score with your header]


    [Reward onpletion: Holographic practice dummies]


    [Penalty on failure: random loss of one acquired talent]


    Looking at the screen, Hiro couldn''t help but frown. Although the reward was tempting, punishment was even more harsh. Not to mention the quest itself. This quest was rather hard evenpared to all the other quests he had done before.


    Scoring three goals in a final was already a hard thing. But to make matter even worst, he had score a perfect hattrick.


    Although he had the talent Ambipedal because of which he could use both of his leg equally well, how could the opposing team allow him to score a goal in the final?


    Since he had already revealed his cards on many asions, for sure the opponents would have studied his y and prepared ordingly.


    And Sagan Tosu U-18 team was even notoriously known as the team with imprable defence.


    Scoring a perfect hattrick against this club in the finals, it was like stealing prey from the mouth of hungry tiger.
