Chapter 532: Emperor''s Cup III


    ?


    Shun was delighted to hear the announcement. And he couldn''t help but roll his eyes to look at the people he hadn''t seen for a long time.


    "You''re finally here," he muttered as he looked.


    However, it wasn''t the time to act cheerful. After all, he wasn''t on their side. So, he immediately rposed himself.


    Hiro too rolled his eyes to look at Shun.


    At that time, Shun was blocking some amazing shots from his teammates. Seeing such impressive reflexes, he couldn''t help but break into a smile, "Seems like, you''ve vowed to stop us today. But it won''t be that easy."


    As much as Shun was looking forward to meeting him, Hiro was equally looking forward to reuniting with him. After all, he was one of his cherished friends.


    "He seems to have improved a lot, right?"


    While he was fixedly staring at Shun, Naoto said to him.


    Hearing him, Hiro nodded his head, "He had to do that much if he wanted to take your spot"


    Naoto couldn''t help but reveal a frown as he heard him, "Who''s side are you in?"


    "Whoever performs better"


    Hiro answered with a straightforward look on his face, making it seem as if he was serious about what he had said.


    Naoto let out a self-deprecating smile as he said, "Frompeting with the best keeper of Japan topeting with an uing talent. If I be even a bit careless, I might lose my spot. Hah..., Did I birth in the wrong era?"


    Even Hiro could tell that Naoto was someone exceptional. From the moment he had seen him, he held no doubts that he''d leave a mark on the history.


    But Naoto wasn''t the type of person who''d go out of his way to improve.


    He didn''t mean that he wasn''t hardworking enough.


    After all, he was one of the most professional he had seen in this field. But it''s just that he only did what was required of him.


    Hiro who had seen the talent he possessed was aware of his potential. If only he put in a little extra work, he might have be even better.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    That''s what Hiro believed.


    And he had tried to convey his sentiments to him many times. But Naoto never took him seriously. So, he could only choose to give up.


    But Shun was theplete opposite of him.


    He had a rather aggressive personality and he wasn''t afraid to y rough. He would also go to extra mile to improve. He was someone who could embrace the pain. In short, he had the mentality of a warrior.


    If he had been born a little earlier, he would have made into a perfect kamikaze soldier.


    So, Hiro could tell that he had put in a lot of effort to get to this level.


    Hiro had nothing but admiration for him.


    Then he proceeded to their side of the field.


    Due to his rising poprity, from the moment he stepped on the field, he was at the center of attention. Cameramen followed him closely, capturing every single detail while at the same time, the fans fixated their gaze on him.


    Hiro, however, kept himselfposed even when faced with such attention.


    Be it his touch or his movements, everything seemed so wless that it left many in awe. Hiro had the aura of a star.


    Then he proceeded to practice some shooting.


    People paid close attention to him, their cameras on standby.


    Every time he took a shot, people released a mesmerized exmation. To the point that it


    even got the attention of the opposing yers.


    They couldn''t help but wonder what had gotten the fans so excited.


    "Just what''s happening on the other side?"


    They had been trying their best to remain focused. But how could they focus when they kept


    getting bombarded with the asional wows of the opposing fans?


    The wow sounding from the other side had piqued their curiosity.


    So, they paused their activity to check on the opposing side.


    As they turned to look at the opposing side, they were met with the sight of Hiro who was preparing to take a shot from a distance.


    He stood quite far from the post.


    It''s just a single yer taking long shots, so why are they so excited about it?


    Some couldn''t help but think.


    Although Hiro was a famous personality, it didn''t mean that they had to get excited every time he touched the ball. At this point weren''t they exaggerating?


    Some felt as they looked at him.


    But then again when he started taking shots, they were left bbergasted. They couldn''t bring themselves to think.


    Almost every shot he took, he nailed it.


    Just how good does one need to be to perform such a feat?


    Theirplexion paled as they felt intimidated by his disy. The match hadn''t even started


    yet he was already disying such an overwhelming disy of might.


    Was he purposefully trying to intimidate them?


    They were at a loss for words.


    The opposing coach upon finding the state of his yers knew that he had to do something. So, before things worsen, he called them.


    Then after some warm-ups opposing yers began to head inside. Just after a while, the


    yers of Kawasaki also headed inside.


    As the yers left the field, many people began to talk among themselves.


    "It seems like, Hiro won''t go easy even against his friend"


    "You''re talking about Shun, right?"


    "Yeah, when they yed together, those two conquered almost every possible title in the


    youth division. Be it Hiro or Shun, both were equally impressive."


    "But we can''t forget Naoto. Though he failed to stop the shot right now, it was because his


    opponent was Hiro"


    "Sure, almost every single one of them had grown to be an amazing yer"


    "The future of our club looks quite bright"


    The ability of those young prospects delighted the fans. Even if Shun yed against them today, their club held the right over him.


    With such amazing yers, how couldn''t they help but feel excited about the future?


    But they seemed to be forgetting that both Hiro and Shun could soon leave the club.
