<h4>Chapter 431 Kawasaki vs Kobe VI </h4>


    It was such an ethereal scene that only he could see. For the spectators, opposing yers, and his teammates, all they could see was Hiro in motion. Yet, it seemed as if he was operating in an entirely different universe.


    Then as he made his choice, a path opened up for him. Following the path, he steadily approached the opposing backline. The crowd''s anticipation surged as a palpable wave of energy rippled through the stadium.


    They were curious to see his next move.


    "Here he goes! Hiro is weaving through the defense with such grace!"


    "Look at his control and precision! It''s like watching a master at work."


    Both thementators seemed extremely excited.


    Daichi utilized his teammates as he tried to stop Hiro while he strengthened his position. He had to position himself better to stop Hiro. For some reason, he could feel his senses tingling almost as if it was trying to warn him of impending danger.


    But precisely at the moment as such, he had to maintain his cool the most. So, he shook the feeling and focused his attention on Hiro.


    The iing defenders failed to move him as he moved with unparalleled fluidity. Each touch of the ball was purposeful and precise while his mind and body were in perfect sync. Effortlessly bypassing the iing defenders as if they were mere obstacles in a choreographed dance, Hiro steadily approached the goal.


    Then as he got through their entrapment, he came up against Daichi, the final hurdle in the defense of the opposing team.


    Daichi''s heart pounded as he saw the figure of Hiro steadily closing on him. But he knew that he had to remainposed, after all, he was thest line of defense against Hiro''s onught. If he fails to stop him, with Hiro''s current form, he''d definitely level the scoresheet.


    "It''s Hiro versus Daichi now! The crowd is on the edge of their seats!"


    "This is the moment of truth. Can Hiro get past Daichi?"


    While steadily approaching the goal, Hiro looked in front of him only to lock eyes with Daichi. He could vividly see the determination in his eyes. It was as if he was silently issuing a challenge. But he didn''t feel afraid.


    The world around him slowed down as he got closer to Daichi. Then as he got near to Daichi, he feinted left with a sudden burst of speed, trying to draw Daichi.


    Daichi stretched his legs to stop him. But the ball remained glued to his feet as he effortlessly evaded Daichi''s outstretched legs with ease. Daichi stumbled as he failed to stop Hiro. And before he could recover, Hiro left him behind in the dust.


    "He''s done it! Hiro has dribbled past the entire defense!"


    "What a phenomenal disy of skill andposure! Hiro is unstoppable right now!"


    Almost the entire stadium got on their toes as they witnessed him take on the entire defense of the opposing team. He had nearly dribbled past the entire opposing team by himself.


    Hiro, now one-on-one with the opposing goalkeeper, maintained his focus. Though he had managed to get through the entirety of the opposing team, his efforts would amount to nothing if he were to fail now.


    The moment he stepped inside the box, his other talent Knight In The Area, kicked in which further heightened his attacking stats. With all those boosts, it''d be extremely disappointing if he were to miss now.


    Failure wasn''t an option.


    The time had been almost spent, and the referee was already preparing to blow the whistle. If he were to miss, he wouldn''t get a second chance, at least not in the first half.


    The opposing keeper steadily approached him. The way he moved made it seem as if he was extremely cautious and prepared. He had maintained just enough distance between him and the post while at the same time, he was trying his earnest to limit the shooting angle of Hiro.


    But it didn''t intimidate him the least. Instead, he steadily approached the post. Then with a swift, decisive strike, he sent the ball soaring into the back of the.


    "Goooooaaaaaalllllll!!!!!!!"


    The goal sent waves of euphoria through the stadium. The supporters of Kawasaki roared in unison as they celebrated his goal while chanting his name. He had equalized the score in the final seconds of the first half, keeping their hopes alive.


    His teammates rushed to embrace him. Their faces were alight with joy and admiration. It was nothing but a sort of miracle. Not only had he tied the score, he had done it in such a marvelous way. From their half to the opposing post, he had carried the ball all by himself while also taking on almost the entirety of the opposing yers.


    Dribbling past eight opposing yers, he had scored this stunner giving his team the much-needed goal. It was such an iconic goal that''d probably go down in the books of history as one of the greatest goals a yer has scored.


    At the moment, the entire stadium was a cauldron of emotions with people celebrating and grieving over the goal. The fans of Kawasaki were extremely ecstatic. Meanwhile, the fans of Kobe didn''t seem quite happy about it.


    ''I was right to choose it'' he thought while continuing his celebration with his teammates.


    It was rather noisy and lively around him, but he was lost in his thoughts. Calcting the benefits he had gained, he had no regrets about the amount of effort he had put into acquiring this talent. The feeling of the state of flow, though it had waned, he still couldn''t bring himself to forget.


    It was like tasting marijuana for the first time— highly addictive and ethereal.


    On the sidelines, Coach Tatsuya appeared to be in a high spirit. Meanwhile, on the other side of the pitch opposing coach appeared to be in a slump; he couldn''t even bring himself to scold his yers.


    The president of the club was equally impressed and ecstatic. One could vividly see the joy in his eyes, and also greed in it.
