Chapter 463  Lunatic thoughts

After some time, a man probably in his early 40s, dressed in a white suit entered the training ground holding a briefcase.

He had short black hair which was neatly styled. A pair of rectangular framed glasses with golden rims adorned his triangular face. Though it could hardly conceal the eye bags beneath his eyes. "You're here, Dr. Haruki," Nanami walked over to him as he saw him. The man was Dr. Haruki Tanaka. Adjusting his glasses, he revealed an awkward smile as he greeted Nanami, "I'm sorry, I couldn't arrive on time."

"Who's he?" "Another coach?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the middle of the training, some players paused to look at him. They couldn't help but feel curious about him. He just appeared too peculiar to go unnoticed. Their coach was addressing him with such respect. So, it was only natural for them to feel that way. "You three where are you looking?" They got scolded harshly because of their inattentive behavior. Although many were not familiar with the person who had arrived just now, Hiro was a bit knowledgeable about him. 'Isn't he that Dr. Haruki? He looks so much like him.' It's not that he wasn't famous. Featured in many articles, he was a relatively well-known figure in the sports world. However, his fame was almost similar to the many other roles indirectly involved in the sports such as sports director, physician, or scout of football clubs. Despite their role being an important one people barely know them. But in his field, he was quite well-known among his peers. "So Doc when can we implement the device on the players?" Nanami was quite straightforward as he got straight to the point. Athlete Insight was the name of the cutting-edge wearable device developed by Haruki. This device tracked a multitude of metrics, including speed, precision, stamina, heart rate, and even mental fatigue, providing comprehensive data to optimize training and performance.

Even though it was still in its early phase, many clubs in Europe were already implementing it in their training. Since FIFA and UEFA banned the use of any such device in actual games they weren't able to use it in actual games. Well, installments of such devices would probably disrupt the game. "If you want, we can implement it right away." Haruki smiled. "No.., no.., it's alright. There's not much time left for the training session to end. So, let's implement it starting this evening?" Nanami revealed an awkward smile as he said. If they prolonged the session to test the device, it would only affect the players. So, he decided to put that matter aside for the time being. "For now, would it be okay for you to explain its working mechanism thoroughly to me? I have read about it. But I think it'd be better to hear from the person who invented it." he added. Having studied about it, he had been impressed by it. So, he wanted to know more about it. That'd further provide him insight into the device. Haruki nodded his head and asked, "Shall I begin here or should I demonstrate it to you instead?"

"I'd prefer a demonstration. So, shall we head to your lab? We've set up a lab as per your instructions."

"Great, sorry for the trouble Nanami-san"

"Just give me a minute doc," saying so, he walked to coach Akira. He had to leave someone in charge of the training if he was going to leave the field. But as he got close to Akira, he couldn't help but wonder, 'Shouldn't it be more effective if we all learn about it? It's only right for all of us to attend the demonstration together.' Since they were going to be working together, it was only right to share the knowledge regarding the device between themselves to avoid any conflict in the future. If they all learned about it then they could avoid possible conflicts due to the difference in opinion. As he thought about it, he glanced at his watch. 'There's not much time left for the session to come to an end. So, let's end it early for now.' Thinking so, he instructed Akira to wrap up the training in about five minutes and meet him at the laboratory afterward. "Where is he going?"

The players couldn't help questioning his early departure as they saw him walking out of the field alongside the newly entered person with the glasses. 'For sure he's Dr. Haruki.' Hiro confirmed his identity. 'The future's getting even more unpredictable. The addition of Dr. Haruki wasn't supposed to happen so early. I'm not sure about the club he was supposed to be working but I'm sure that he wasn't supposed to be here right now.'

Thinking about the changes that were taking place, his brows knotted. If such changes kept on happening frequently, soon he'd no longer be able to select a safe route for him to follow. If the future was going to get unpredictable then he could only adapt to it. Well, he was partly at fault since he was the anomaly in the present. A butterfly effect. It was bound to happen since he interfered with the present. Let alone get called up by the national team, he wasn't even supposed to be playing professionally. Originally, someone else should be here right now instead of him. It wasn't the place where he belonged to. 'They say that when you change something in the past a different timeline is created. So, by that logic, it should be an alternate world.' Though he diligently performed the drill assigned to him, his mind was elsewhere. However, most of the stuff that he was thinking was from movies. Even so, he couldn't rule out the possibility of it happening either. After all, he had regressed to his early days after dying. If he talked about it, he'd certainly get labeled as a lunatic. Just his regression alone was already something straight out of a fantasy novel. But he also possessed a system that helped him realize his dreams. Just how would people react if he said that he heard some voices in his head?

Thinking about all the unrealistic stuff that had taken place in his life, he couldn't help but reveal a grin. Just a moment ago, he was thinking about the future. And, now his thoughts had already wandered somewhere else. Players who were watching him were already getting chills looking at him making different reactions for absolutely no reason. "Is he alright?"

"Did he get possessed by a ghost?"

"What's wrong with him?"

Hiro had completely forgotten that he wasn't alone.
