Chapter 478: Coach's Concern



That sudden warning left him perplexed. What just took place?

Blinking his eyes, he blankly stared at Tominaga while trying to figure out his situation. For a while, he was at a loss of words.

Only after Tominaga got far away from him could he bring himself to speak, "What just happened right now?" he muttered, his tone laced with confusion.

All those hesitations to speak only that much? Wasn't it a little too excessive? Was it really that hard for him to speak?

Sure, he could tell that Tominaga didn't have any favorable impression of him. But had he offended him so much that he had to hesitate that much to say something so trivial?

There were many things that he couldn't understand. But it wasn't difficult enough for him to understand that Tominaga wasn't as much of a jerk as he had thought.

After all, he had the choice to remain silent.

But maybe there's some righteousness left in him.

'Seems like I've misjudged you previously' Thinking so, he smiled while looking at him.

Then he went on with his training.

After a little longer, other players began to show up on the field. Soon the once silent pitch got extremely lively.

The training wasn't as intense as it was yesterday. It was probably due to yesterday's session. After all, high-intensity training needs to be done in moderation otherwise it will lead to injuries.

Hence to avoid unnecessary injuries the session today was rather lax.

However, the mini-matches at the end of the training weren't as lax as it was supposed to be. It was supposed to be a fun activity to help players loosen up and bond. But contrary to the expectation of the coaches it proved to be rather detrimental.

They played the matches as if they were competing in an international match. Their ferocity knew no bounds as some of the players played quite roughly.

But despite being one of the brightest players on the team, he was being targeted by other players. Just what kind of grudge they had against him?

"Are you worried about him, boss?" Akira asked after finding him staring at Hiro.

Though Nanami had perfectly hidden his concern, he could tell that he was worried.

Otherwise, why would he be so silent?

Also, it wasn't only Nanami who had noticed the division. If one observed carefully, one could

tell what was going on the pitch.

And he was one such person who had been ardently paying attention to the session

progressing on the pitch.

Nanami's complacent look only solidified his suspicion.

As he heard him, he immediately shifted his attention away from Hiro so as not to raise any suspicion. But he had already been found out. So, even if he tried to deny it, he couldn't avoid Akira.

"I've noticed their performance earlier. Though they passed the ball to him they only played safe passes to him. I know it's not enough to suspect them but I have analyzed their playstyle. So, I found it quite strange for them to be playing such lousily today"

Akira provided his thorough analysis.

It was exactly as he said. Nanami had analyzed the playstyle of almost all of the players present in the camp. So, he could discern if they were playing seriously or not.

Hearing him, Nanami could tell that he couldn't hide it from him.

Thus, while revealing a helpless sigh, he chose to speak the truth, "Huff! It's exactly as you said. There seems to be some kind of conflict going on in the team. And as you've guessed the target is obviously Hiro. I don't know what kind of conflict is taking place in the team. But I've got a favor to ask you Akira."

"Can you help me identify the trouble?"
