Chapter 487: Quest!
Right at this moment, Hiro heard a sudden notification.
[Ding!]
[A new quest has been unlocked]
[Leave a lasting impression on the opposing number seven. Upon completion, the host will be awarded a random talent of the opposing number seven. The grade of the talent will be determined according to the completion rating]
[On failure, the host will lose a few reputation points]
The moment he heard the mechanical voice of the system, Hiro's attention was drawn to the sudden quest. He became complacent as he began to ponder about the information provided by the system.
The system didn't state any criteria for the completion of the quest. But he could more or less assume that he had to deliver a flashy performance to mesmerize the opposing number seven to complete the quest.
After all, it only stated that he had to make a lasting impression on the opposing number seven.
Though it sounded simple it wasn't as simple as it sounded. If he were only required to deliver an outstanding performance, he could fully focus his attention on the game without worrying about anything else.
But he was required to make a lasting impression on a single individual. For that, he would need to be in his presence at all times.
However, if he concerned himself too much with him, it would probably affect his game. So although it sounded simple it was a rather challenging quest.
'A talent from such a player'
Pondering about the reward, he turned to look at the opposing number seven. Coincidentally he was also looking at him.
As their eyes met, he smiled at him.
'Is he smiling at me?' Hiro thought, appearing rather perplexed, turning his head to look at other players around him.
Most of his teammates were looking his way. But it seemed that he was indeed the one whom he was looking at the moment.
The crowd's energy was as energetic as ever. Even during the warm-ups they didn't stop cheering. The presence of their players on the field was enough to fill them with elation.
Though many fans were aware of the ranking of the two teams on the field they were confident of their victory. As for the reason behind their confidence, it could be attributed to the venue.
The game was being held on their home turf. So how could they lose with such a massive advantage? Plus their players were performing really well in recent matches. So they believed that they would put on the same performance even in this match.
After the warm-ups came to an end players of both sides headed back to the locker room. As for the fans they patiently awaited the return of the players.
In the locker room, players were preparing for the game.
Some had already gotten dressed while some were still in the middle of getting dressed. It might be due to the closure of the match but some players seemed unusually tense at the
moment.
Even a simple task as simple as tying laces proved to be rather challenging for some of the
players.
As for Hiro, he was unusually calm. There wasn't even a hint of anxiousness on his face. His gaze as sharp as a razer looked straight ahead.
At this moment, it was as if he was an entirely different person.
His calm demeanor was no surprise to any in the locker room. After all, they had shared the same room for more than a week.
As for the veterans they didn't bother to look at him. To them, he wasn't an existence worth their attention.
After a little while, Coach Nanami accompanied by his coaching staff entered the locker room. The look on their faces was rather stern.
At once as they entered the room many turned to look at them while many didn't seem bothered by their appearance.
Nanami then swept his gaze around the locker room. The scene at the locker room failed to
surprise him.
