My system allows me to copy talents

Chapter 531: Emperor's Cup II



The sun, a brilliant golden orb, hung high and proud, casting its warm, benevolent light across the land. The air was crisp and clean.

Beneath the azure expanse, a group of people moving toward a certain direction could be seen. Be it children or adults, you could find people of all age groups. Filled with anticipation and excitement, these bunches were headed to the stadium to witness the match.

You could also find flocks of reporters broadcasting the news.

Just then a luxurious bus decorated in blue made its appearance. Immediately a wave of sensation rippled through the crowd as people recognized the bus.

It was the bus that carried the players of Kawasaki.

Upon recognizing the bus, people began to crowd at the sideline to get a glimpse of the players inside the bus, shouting the names of the players. But despite their effort, the curtain remained shut.

The closed curtains of the bus left them in a frown.

As for the reporters, it was a scoop. They made several comments over such a minute gesture that it almost made it seem as if it was a big deal.

"Is Hiro afraid of the truth?"

"Seem's like, he doesn't want to face the people"

They made different speculations igniting the dissatisfaction of a few of the supporters.

Inside the bus, Hiro was seated in the third-row seat.

"There seems to be quite a commotion outside," Tatsuki who was seated beside him spoke upon hearing some noise.

"It's the same," Hiro said in an uninterested tone.

He could audibly hear the noise outside. He could even hear his name being called out. But, so what? He wasn't obligated to show his face just because they called him.

It's not that he had grown arrogant.

He just wanted to avoid the reporters, that's all.

One moment they'll worship you as God, and the next moment they'll condemn you as a demon.

Yes, he was aware of the personality of the reporters. But how could they uncover such a sensitive topic to garner the attention of the public?

Hiro was dissatisfied with them exposing the condition of his father.

He was also dissatisfied with their forceful ways of trying to interview his mother. Their attitude disgusted him.

Hence, he declined their interview request every time they came knocking on his door. After what they did, he had grown to loathe the reporters.

"You can't just avoid the reporters forever, Hiro. Trust me, he'll help you"

That was what Ayumi had said to him a few days ago after he declined almost every interview request that came his way.

She wanted him to approve an interview with one of her close associates to help him. But he declined the proposal as he didn't want to have anything to do with reporters.

"The more you run the worse it'll get, Hiro"

That's what she said in the end after he denied the request.

'They're the same anyway' he sneered inside as he recalled her words.

Slowly as people began to flock, the stadium seats began to fill. At the same time, the atmosphere of the stadium witnessed a drastic change.

Filled with the chatter of the people, it started getting lively.

Then after a while, players emerged on the field. At once, the atmosphere of the stadium became electrifying as people began to cheer.

However, the match wasn't going to start anytime soon. There was still some time left for the match to begin. In the meantime, the vacant seats in the stadium were also getting filled.

For a while, it seemed like the stadium would be filled to its fullest.

Just as Shun stepped outside the tunnel, he froze in his place.

His eyes glistened with elation and excitement as he swept his gaze through the stadium. It was the stadium that he had dreamt of playing one day.

And here he was standing before a large crowd in the stadium that he wished to play. However, as an opposing player.

Yet still, he was excited to be here.

"Here comes the players of Yokohama. This season they have been dominating the league.

And it wouldn't have been possible if not for their young keeper Shun."

"I'm sure the fans are delighted to see him. After all, he's one of their homegrown talents. So, how will this sensational keeper perform against his parent club today?"

"Ahh right, today we'll be seeing four youth academy players on the same pitch"

The commentators talked among themselves as they discussed various topics.

It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that Kawasaki's youth academy is one of the most successful youth academies in Japan at the moment.

After all, we don't get to see so many players from the same academy on the big stage every day.

"To produce such fine talents in a single time frame, how many teams have been able to perform such a miracle?"

"At the moment, I can't name any clubs in Japan. But La Masia, Barcelona's academy has been able to produce such fine talents almost consistently."

Shun stayed put at his spot for a while, enjoying the scene before him. He was also waiting for Hiro and the rest. After all, it had been quite a while since he last met any of them.

So, he was looking forward to their reunion.

But it seemed like the players of Kawasaki would take a while to emerge out. So, after waiting

for a while, he headed to his team.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After all, he had to begin warming up.

Also, he could meet them in the tunnel later. So, he hurried to his team.

Just after he left, the players of Kawasaki also emerged on the field. At once the stadium went

wild with excitement upon seeing the players.

Since the stadium was dominated by Kawasaki's fans, it was to be expected.

They had waited long enough to see the players. So, how could they remain silent after finally

seeing the players?

Their excitement knew no bounds.

Cheering at the top of their lungs, they displayed their enthusiasm to the fullest.
