My system allows me to copy talents

Chapter 466  Interaction

Solemnly, Hiro glanced at him before responding, "I could ask you the same"

There was no ill motive behind his words. Neither was he trying to taunt him. But since Kenji appeared curious about the matter, Hiro couldn't refrain from asking. If he wasn't curious then why would he bring it intentionally?

For sure, he wasn't trying to test his patience. Faced with Hiro's curiosity, Kenji frowned before responding cheerfully, "Hahaha...., I'm way too old to get myself involved in the quarrels of youngsters."

Excuse. It was nothing more than an excuse. Hiro could tell it. Yet still, he chose to ignore it. After all, what good would he receive even if he were to speak his heart?

There was simply no benefit to it. So, he dismissed the matter. "You're right Kenji-san, we youngsters ought to resolve our conflict among ourselves. We need to be responsible for our actions then only will we grow."

All of a sudden, Hiro appeared even more mature than before. Kenji had been finding him quite strange since a while ago.

Even in the field when he was getting targeted by other players instead of whining about the unfair treatment, he stepped up for himself. Even now, he was deliberately trying to provoke him but there wasn't even an ounce of irritation on his face. Instead, it seemed as if he understood him. Just how can a kid so young act so mature? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

His age and his attitude were polar opposites to each other. They simply didn't match. Kenji was taken aback by his response and his eerie calmness. You're telling me this kid is sixteen? It's not only his skills that exceed his age but the way he carries himself too. His curiosity only grew as he talked to him. Previously, he had approached him due to his sheer curiosity. The way he remained silent, he had assumed Hiro to be somewhat cocky. Well, given his talent, it wasn't a huge deal for him to be a little arrogant. But as he engaged in a conversation with him, he realized how wrong he was to think so. There wasn't even a shred of arrogance in this boy. Which was pretty rare for someone his age. In his career, he had come across many youngsters who were drunk on their fame. Arrogant and rebellious, they would kick a fuss whenever someone tried to provoke them. However, despite his repeated attempts to provoke Hiro, he couldn't detect even a shred of rebellious mentality in him. This was pretty new to him. "Tell me the truth. Your birth certificate is fabricated right?" Kenji asked jokingly. Though he seemed as if he was jesting from the outside, he was not. There was only a slight possibility of fabricating the birth certificate but he still couldn't rule out the possibility. After all, no matter how hard he thought about it, Hiro didn't appear sixteen to him. "I'd have been grateful if it was the case. If only they increased my age by at least two years, I'd have been eligible to leave for a club overseas by now," Hiro replied casually, wearing a poker face. Kenji glanced at his face, giving him a weird look upon hearing his response. You wish to increase your age!

For a while, he couldn't bring himself to speak. This kid is different.

He couldn't help but view Hiro in a different light. "Tell me honestly, you've already received offers from Europe, right?" Kenji asked. Considering what he said, he could only link it to the possibility that he had been already contacted by a few of the clubs in Europe. He has already proven his worth in the league, so it's not that surprising that he wants to move abroad to a more competitive league. Kenji had already confirmed his attitude. So, he could tell by no means was he trying to mock the competitiveness of the J-league. And, it's only natural for a player of such caliber to wish to play for the best clubs in the world. Well considering he was already scouted by an overseas agent so early in his career, it's only natural to assume that he had already been linked to some of the clubs overseas. By now, it seemed as if Kenji was trying to interview him. The conversation was getting way too much personal. But it's not like he had anything to hide. So, he answered it earnestly without hiding anything, "I do want to move to Europe. But I haven't been contacted by any clubs yet."

His talents were already enough for him to get targeted by at least a few of the renowned clubs in Europe. Yet, he hadn't been contacted?

It didn't sit right with Kenji. If not the big clubs, he should already be getting offers from at least mid-table clubs. Yet, he hadn't received any offer?

How is that possible?

Or was he deliberately hiding something?

Even so, it didn't appear as if he was lying. There wasn't any loophole in his facial expression. It was extremely difficult to read his expression or the tone of his speech. Perplexed, he stared at him fixedly. "For real?" he uttered. Hiro nodded his head as he answered, "Umm..., It's not that I haven't received any offers yet. But it's because I want to focus on the matter at hand right now."

It was exactly as he said. There wasn't any rush. He still had a lot of time on his hands to decide his plans. And, he was quite young as well. It made sense. Often young players are so in a hurry that they don't think their decision through which often leads to a career full of regrets. Well, it's not wrong to dream big. And, it's not wrong to wish to play for a big club. But before making any decision, it's always good to do some research. So, what if you get scouted by a big club but don't get many playing minutes?

Young players require playing minutes to develop. They require experience to develop. You can't expect them to play well just because they trained well.
