<h4>Chapter 279 New encounter </h4>


    [Knight in the area (A+->SS)]


    [Slightly raises your attacking stats such as shooting, finishing, sharpness, dribbling, passing, vision, every time while inside the penalty box in a match; inturn increasing the probability of scoring]


    [Note this wow-factor will only work while the host is in contact with the ball]


    [Upgradable; automatically upgrades with grade increment]


    As Hiro went through the description of the wow-factor, his eyes shone with unprecedented light. Unwittingly his lips curled into a smile.


    From deep within his heart, a surge of happiness started to rise which made his whole body tingle.


    His skill Fireball Shot could already increase his stats temporarily while shooting from outside the box. But now he got his hands on something even better.


    The uses of his skill Fireball Shot was limited but this wow-factor which he attained, it''s uses was unlimited.


    As long as he could prate inside the box with the ball, his attacking stats would receive a slight boost.


    However as wonderful as the wow-factor seemed, it also had a w. The w was that he needed to be in contact with the ball to activate this wow-factor.


    And how often would he be in contact with the ball? There was also a probability that the opponent would stop him before he could even reach the penalty box.


    The skill would still work while recieving the ball inside the box. However he would have to position himself better for that.


    But that wasn''t a problem for Hiro either. He already had the skill Eagle Eye topensate for that w. He could easily position himself in a better position with that skill.


    In his current situation, one could say that it was the perfect solution to his problem. With this wow-factor, he''d be even more clinical and lethal.


    Not only the opponent would have to be wary of his long range shots, they can''t even afford to let him inside the box.


    However if he wanted to make better use of this wow-factor, he''d have to slightly change his ystyle and position. Instead of maneuvering the y from the midfield and dropping deep at times, he''d have to be more offensive.


    Thus right now, it''d be more ideal for him to y as a false nine.


    ''Although his other wow-factors are quite appealing as well but I''m sure it''s the core wow-factor which allowed him to flourish in my previous life'' Hiro thought to himself while smiling.


    However all of a sudden his smile froze on his face as a realisation dawned upon him, ''If I can make use of this wow-factor then so can Park Seung-gyu. And plus he has other set of wow-factors whichpliments this talent of his. Like that eyes of predator and legs of steel. One allows him to position himself better and smell the goal while the other increases his shot power. Facing him inside the box would be a terrifying experience for our defenders''


    The more Hiro analysed Park Seung-gyu, the more he realised the danger of Park Seung-gyu. Meeting him here and meeting him on the field waspletely different.


    Although he beat him in this duel right now, he wasn''t sure if he could beat him while facing him on the field.


    Park Seung-gyu was a threat. A threat which he needed to subdue at any cost, if he wanted to win the tournament.


    After racking his mind for a while, Hiro heaved a sigh of relief and eased his tensed shoulder while muttering softly, "Phew!! Well there''s no point thinking about it right now. I''ll talk with the coaches once we get back"


    As he came back to his senses, he realised that most of the crowd had already started dispersing slowly. Since the duel has alreadye to an end and South Korean yers were already leaving, there wasn''t any point staying here.


    Thus everybody started to disperse and wander in search of the games they wanted to y. Some stayed behind to try this scoring game.


    Shun and the rest who were joyous a moment ago were right now trying to run away. Although they were joyous about the victory, they hadn''t forgotten about Hiro''s words.


    Now that the chaos had subsided, they knew that Hiro would probably find them and retaliate.


    Thus right now, except those who hadn''t involved in this mess, those who had involved in this mess were trying to run away.


    Hiro however wasn''t willing to let go of them. Thus he furiously called out their name and ordered them to halt their movements before running after after them, "You all stop where you are"


    Yelling such, Hiro was about to chase after them. However he was stopped on his track.


    Taking advantage of Hiro''s momentary pause, every single one of them pretended as if they didn''t hear Hiro''s voice and frantically ran away without looking back.


    "We''ll meet you after some time Captain"


    "I still have some games that I''d like to y"


    "There''s still some time for our return"


    Saying such, Shun and the rest hurriedly stormed away leaving Hiro and rest behind.


    Making irritated expression, Hiro watched their fleeing figure. He couldn''t do anything because right now a person was standing infront of him with her arms extended, trying to stop him on his track.


    Hiro snorted unhappily while watching his teammates fleeing figure before tilting his head to look at the sight of the person infront of him.


    "Can I borrow some of your time? I promise it won''t take much" Kim Tae-ri spoke in an alluring tone while staring at Hiro with her puppy eyes.


    Surprisingly Kim Tae-ri was very fluent in Japanese.


    Hiro wanted to walk past her but she was streaming this moment right now. Thus he couldn''t even bring himself to reject her outrightly.


    Plus his teammates had already scattered in different directions. Even if he wanted to give a chase, he wouldn''t be able to catch them all.


    Thus he sighed deeply as he nodded his head, agreeing Kim Tae-ri''s request.
