Chapter 492: Rise of a prodigy



It was a one-man show.

All the way from his half to the opposing half, he had carried the ball all by himself. From the beginning to the end, he had been thoroughly engaged in this attack.

Getting past multiple players was already a grand feat. But to add a cherry on top, his shot that led to the goal could only be described as something ethereal.

Such monstrous power from such a small frame.

Just what does he even consume to have such ferocious shooting power?

In the stands, along with the despairing faces, one could also see a glimpse of confusion and shock. It was as if those confused faces were pondering about his surreal shot.

Just where did such a player come from?

After this goal, many present in the stands became intrigued. They couldn't help but wish to find out more about him.

"It's him right? The one who assisted the first goal?"

"Yeah, he's the same guy"

"Have you heard about him anywhere?"

"No..., it's my first time seeing him. Though I remember the goalkeeper, I don't think I've heard about him previously"

"Just who is that number ten?"

Since he had piqued the interest of many in the venue, it was only natural for them to want to know more about him.

Hiro on the other hand was unbothered by the furious and curious gazes shot at him. Neither was he worried about their interest. But he wasn't completely uninterested either. After all, he had a quest to complete.

For that reason, after scoring the goal, he deliberately rushed to the spot where the opposing number seven could see him better to celebrate his goal.

Those who were pissed a moment ago due to his selfishness joined him in his celebration as well. After all, it wouldn't look good to others if they didn't participate.

But instead of feeling worried, Hiro was rather relieved.

Having a marker on him meant that he had made enough impact for the opposing side to take notice of him. It was a clear indication that he was heading the right way.

Just like that the first half concluded with the Japanese side taking the lead thanks to a goal and assist from Hiro.

Beep!

Just as the whistle sounded players halted their movements.

"And here goes the whistle to conclude the first half. The first half has been nothing but intense. But undoubtedly we can conclude that it was the opposing number ten who had been the most impressive on the field."

"Be it his first touch which led to the first goal or his mesmerizing dribble and powerful shot which increased their lead, he has been nothing but impactful."

The commentator praised Hiro while the cameramen focused their lenses on him.

As for Hiro, he slowly exited the field wearing a smile on his face, happily chatting with his friend. He wasn't concerned by the praises or the gazes he had been getting.

There were a lot of players on the opposing side who were glaring at him. At the same time, he had been getting a lot of glares from the opposing fans as well.

It was as if he had made enemies out of thousands of people within forty-five minutes. A feat unlike any in the world.

But only after they learned his age did some retract their hostile gaze from him.

"What...? He's only sixteen?"

"Yes..., At the moment he's the youngest on the field."

Upon learning his age, many were left shocked. Such brilliance from such a young fellow was something unbelievable.

Though there had been many youngsters rising it still surprised people when they witnessed such brilliance at such an age.

The discussion regarding his age spread like wildfire. And soon everybody in the stadium was singing his praises. They were impressed, scared, and excited to find such a talented

youngster.
