Chapter 470: Be d that you approached me!


    ?


    Later in the evening, yers slowly made their way to the field for the evening training session. The buzz regarding the Athlete Insight had yet to die as yers could be heard talking about it.


    yers were curious about it.


    While at the same time, Hiro was also eagerly looking forward to the test results. He couldn''t wait topare the test results with the stats provided by the system.


    However as he walked to the field, he couldn''t help but nce in the direction of Tominaga and Kenta. Even now, they appear at odds against each other.


    Well, considering the fact that they had made quite a fuss on the field earlier, it was to be expected.


    Even so, matters as such shouldn''t be taken lightly. After all, it''d disrupt the harmony in the


    team.


    Sooner orter the coaches should find out about it. Yet earlier when they gathered for the meeting, coaches acted as if they hadn''t noticed anything.


    Howe they were not punished?


    Maybe they were turning a blind eye to the ruckus.


    If they were willingly ignoring it then who was he to raise the issue?


    So, he gave up on the matter as well.


    After a while as they all lined up, Manager Nanami began to borate about the training drills. They wanted to test their physicality first. Hence, even the keepers were forced to participate along with others.


    Usually, they could train under the goalkeeping coach.


    But even they weren''t spared today.


    The morning training had been ratherx. So, most of the yers had already expected the evening training to be rather intense.


    However, when Nanami began his boration on the drills, they couldn''t help but frown. Sprints, shooting, weighted sprints where they had to run with a weight jacket on, and fast- paced passes were a few of the drills they were going to perform in the session today.


    On top of it, though the coaches hadn''t mentioned it, they could tell that they were going topete among themselves for the best result.


    Anyone could tell that it was more of apetition than a normal drill.


    Determination red in their eyes as they prepared to perform the drills. They were then divided into groups of five for the test.


    Hiro was paired with some extremely agile yers like Tominaga, Kenta, and a few others. It was as if the coaches had intentionally set them up together in a group.


    It was even better for him since he got to test his ability against people who matched him.


    So, when he heard about the group allocation, he was pleased.


    However, it wasn''t the case with the yers who were paired against him.


    Tominaga and Kenta neither appeared worried as they maintained a poker face when they heard the announcement. However, this wasn''t the case with the remaining two. Those two appeared scared.


    "Of all the people why must I pair with them?" cried out one of the two while turning to look at Hiro, Kenta, and Tominaga, worriedly.


    "Exactly, if only we were ced in other groups, we could have evene out on top of the group"


    The other shared the same emotions.


    The eyes that were ring with determination now lost all their luster and appeared rather dull and listless. Those two had lost all their motivation even before the drill had begun.


    For sure with such attitude they were bound to be cedst even when they were one of the fastest yers in the squad.


    However, Hiro didn''t want it to happen.


    So upon noticing their worried faces, he walked toward them intending to cheer them up. It''s not that he was doing them a favor.


    But since one of them took the liberty to talk to him previously, he didn''t feel like watching them suffer due to their attitude.


    So they should be rather d they took the liberty to talk to him.


    If not, he wouldn''t have cared at all.


    Even so, Hiro wasn''t a person skilled at consoling others. So there was only so much he could do for the two. It depended on them on how they interpreted what he was trying to convey.


    As for the other two who were paired with him, he couldn''t care less.


    Walking up to the two, he cheerfully said, "Competing among two of the fastest yers on the squad, it''d be fun"


    At first, the two were stupefied when they heard him. But faced with his cheerful face, they forced a nervous smile on their face as they replied a bit unenthusiastically, "Yeah..., It''ll be fun."


    That was the only thing he had to say as he left after hearing their response without responding.


    It was as if he had approached the two to say only those words.


    Dumbfounded, they fixedly followed him, expecting a response. But they could only see his back and nothing else.


    Is he a weirdo?


    They watched him as if they were watching a weirdo.


    But if one of the fastest yers in the squad regarded them as such highly then why were they doubting their own abilities?


    It appeared as if Hiro had much more faith in them than they had in themselves.


    Exactly, why were they worried?


    It''s not like their selection depended on the results.


    Even if it did depend on it, all they had to do was to give their best and try to beat others. They


    might not be capable of defeating the yers in their group.


    But as a whole, they weren''t less than any.


    Also, it wasn''t the only test that was going to take ce before the squad announcement.


    They had much more days left for the selection.


    As Hiro left, the two nkly looked at each other, unable to decipher what had just happened. He came in like a breeze and left like one.


    But for some inexplicable reason, his words kept on ying in their head. They just couldn''t stop thinking about it.


    While the two were still pondering his words, the first group consisting of Tatsuki and a few others prepared to take the test.
