While the first half was already disappointing for public youth elementary school, the second half was even more devastating.
They conceded four more goals in the second half and lost the game with a combined score of seven to nothing.
Beep!!
{And the referee has blown his whistle. In the beginning of the match, I mentioned about the clash between defence and offense. And the offense has come out victorious after crushing the defence with a humiliating score of 7-0}
{The looks on public youth elementary school’s players doesn’t look very good. However these kids have shown their absolute best, so I request everyone in the crowd to cheer them up as they walk down the aisle.}
“Yeah! You all have played really well.”
“Well played”
Clap!! Clap!! Clap!!
The supporters from the stand started to cheer for the players of Public youth elementary school even after losing the match.
As mentioned by the commentator, the players from the Public youth elementary school really gave their absolute best against Ookami elementary school. However one single player completely obliterated their whole tactics all by himself.
{What an amazing performance by Ookami elementary school. But I’m sure that they wouldn’t have been able to dominate the match like they did, if it weren’t for the number 10 of Ookami elementary school. Goals, assists, dribbles just name it, he’s got everything. He himself scored 5 goals in a single match and provided two assists on top of that. He was involved in all seven goals of the Ookami elementary school.}
{Shinji Shoyo from Karasuno elementary school showed us a brilliant performance a moment ago and now Takahashi Hiro from Ookami elementary school showed us another brilliant performance. I just can’t wait to see the clash between Karasuno elementary school and Ookami elementary school three days from today.}
{Even though Karasuno elementary school are considered one of the favourites of the tournament, it wouldn’t be easy for them to get past against Ookami elementary school. If they’ve got a little giant in their team, then Ookami elementary school’s got a combination of Messi and Romero of their own in their team.}
“You really hit that siu celebration. I thought that you didn’t like Romero.”
Akashi exclaimed as Hiro approached him after the end of the match
“Huh who said that I don’t like Romero?”
Hiro bewilderingly questioned Akashi.
“Well you support Barcelona, so I thought you hated Real Madrid. So I naturally assumed that you didn’t like Romero as well.”
“Well just because I support Barcelona doesn’t mean that I hate Madrid. And I very much enjoy seeing him play. Why would I hate such a great player? And as an upcoming player myself, I don’t want to limit myself with only one playstyle.”
Hiro exclaimed.
While he was celebrating with his teammates, he caught a sight of someone familiar in the stand. While looking at them he raised his fist and pointed it towards them with a smile on his face.
The person to whom he pointed his fist was non other than Takashi and Momo. Takashi returned back the gesture by raising his fist towards him. He couldn’t look more proud. He was brimming with proudness.
“He’s really your son.”
The same spectator who didn’t believe his words earlier, exclaimed.
“Obviously he’s my son.”
He spoke with a grin on his face.
Just as the players of Ookami elementary school were exiting the stadium, they were greeted with the sights of groups of local reporters who were waiting for them outside the stadium.
“Did a celebrity show up?”
Hiro bewilderingly questioned.
“Yeah and you’re that celebrity. Don’t you all agree? Hahaha”
Takashi chuckled. ｂ𝚍𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｎｔ
The rest of the teammates nodded their head in agreement as they let out a cheerful laugh in unison.
“Yeah! Yeah! If scoring five goals in some kids tournament is gonna make somebody a celebrity. Then there’d be a celebrity in every stadium.”
Hiro replied.
“Well first up all, let alone scoring five goals, scoring a single goal is also very difficult. And they’re probably not here because of some kids tournament. It’s because of your newtube channel.”
Akashi exclaimed.
“Huh my newtube channel?”
Hiro bewilderingly questioned.
“Did you not check your channel before coming to the school?”
Akashi inquired.
“Well I only posted my video yesterday, so what difference would it even make?”
Upon hearing the words of Hiro, Akashi pulled his phone out and began to type something.
“See here! Isn’t this you?”
Akashi started to play the video of Hiro which he posted on the newtube.
“Well yeah!! It’s me. So what about my video?”
“Look at the views?”
Akashi replied.
As he turned his gaze towards the total views, he began to count;
“Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands…. What?? 547 thousand views!!!”
Hiro’s eyes widened in shock and his jaws dropped. He couldn’t believe the figure he witnessed.
There was 547 thousand views in his video in less than 24 hours. The first ever video he posted in his newtube channel went viral in less than 24 hours of posting.
“Am I dreaming?”
Hiro questioned.
“Ouch!!”
Akashi pinched him all of a sudden.
“Why did you do that?”
Hiro exasperated.
“Hahaha… I thought that you needed some help.”
Akashi chuckled.
“Soccer Wizard??”
“Soccer Wizard??”
“Can you spare some time for a short interview?”
The reporters flocked over him with camera and microphones facing towards him. All of a sudden he found himself in the limelight.
He couldn’t reply anything. Even though he was a 27 year old from the inside, he had never faced such situations even in his previous life.
For his whole life, he lived like somebody who was ostracized by the society. In his previous life, he was just an extra player in the field without anything exceptional.
Thus he couldn’t react properly, upon receiving the spotlight all of a sudden.
“Umm…”
Upon getting swarmed up by the reporters, he started to get anxious. He started to sweat profusely and began to have nervous breakdown. Receiving the spotlight all of a sudden, he started to have anxiety attacks.
“Could you all please move those camera’s and microphone’s away from him. He’s still a child.”
Takashi came to his rescue.
Upon seeing his father, he could finally feel at ease. However Takashi couldn’t handle the reporters properly as they still forced their way towards him.
“Y’all just leave my son alone before I break your camera and microphones.”
His mother came to their rescue as the situation seemed like it was getting out of hands.
After listening to the threat of his mother, the reporters began to back down.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“And if you’d like to interview him. Kindly book an appointment with his agent first.”
His mother exclaimed.
‘Who’s my agent? Did the school provide me with an agent?’
Hiro was baffled by the claims of his agent.
“Our channel would like to interview him. So mam would you kindly tell us the number of his agent so that we can talk business.”
One of the female reporter stepped forward while asking for the contact information of his agent.
“Yes! Why not?”
She then began to provide them with the contact information of his agent. Having been curious of his agent, he paid utmost attention to his mother’s words. While he was keenly listening to his mother’s words, the number which she provided the reporters felt a little too familiar to him.
“Hmm… Isn’t that mom’s phone number?”
“Huh!!!! My mother is my agent?”
Hiro was shocked to find out that his mother was acting as his agent.
“I’m sure she made this agent stuff out of nowhere. She must’ve smelled the smell of money.”
Hiro mumbled with a blank look on his face.
He then took a peek at his father’s face. He had the same dumbfounded expression. There was something written all over his face.
“Seriously!!!!”
That was the word written all over his face. Just like him, his father was left dumbfounded by her words.
‘But seriously, What should I do with my social anxiety?’
‘Now that my video has gone viral, I’ll face even more reporters as time progresses. I need to build up my confidence and prepare myself thoroughly for the future.’
His eyes glowed with determination.
“Let’s go Mr.popular”
Akashi exclaimed as the reporters cleared a path for them.
After that, they boarded the school bus and left for school, while Takashi and Momo headed home. He couldn’t leave with his mother and father as they needed to analyse the game of Karasuno elementary school.
Since they’ll be facing against Karasuno elementary school in the round of 16, they needed to prepare well. Afterall Karasuno elementary school was one of the favourites to win the tournament. And they couldn’t face against them half heartedly.
If they wanted to win the match, they were required to thoroughly prepare for the match.
While they were heading towards school, the coach of Karasuno elementary school gathered his players in a dark room.
“Why are we gathered in the video analysing room coach?”
One of the players of Karasuno elementary school inquired.
“To analyse our next opponent Ookami elementary school.”
The coach of Karasuno elementary school exclaimed.
“Ookami elementary school? Never heard of it.”
“Hahahahahaha”
The players of Karasuno elementary school burst out in laughter as the coach of the Karasuno elementary school mentioned the name of Ookami elementary school.
