As he prepared to take the shot, Hiro felt as if the entire world had slowed down. Colorful strings wrapped the entire field, leading him to his destination.
It was as if he had entered a different dimension.
He could even feel the sensation of the cold breeze gently caressing him as it rustled past him.
It was such an ethereal experience.
Upon getting close to the ball, he threw his arms back while at the same time he stretched his legs. At this moment the weight of his whole body was concentrated on one single point. It was as if the entire force of his body was converging at one point.
Balancing the weight of his entire body, his other leg was under huge pressure. But by no means was he uncomfortable.
Then as he swept his leg to hit the ball, the stored-up energy transferred from his dominant foot onto the ball.
It was a clean strike.
As for his gesture, it was like a samurai swinging his katana.
Upon contact, the ball rippled before soaring high above the heads of players. Hiro himself couldn't help himself from hopping due to the momentum.Bam!
An ear-piercing sound echoed as he struck the ball. The sound was akin to a canon being fired. While the speed of the ball, it was simply unfathomable.
At an incredible speed, it traveled to the post in front, swerving through the reaches of the players in front.
As for how impressive its speed was one could figure out from the stunned expression of the opposing goalkeeper who couldn't even bring himself to react.
He could feel its presence but he couldn't bring himself to react. It was as if somebody had fired a bullet at him. The bullet merely grazed him so he knew that he had been shot but he was so helpless that he couldn't bring himself to react.
A stunned silence enveloped the entire stadium. A place as such which hosted thousands of people to turn silent was simply breathtaking.
Even the commentator couldn't bring himself to speak for a while.
The entire stadium was stunned.
It was as if somebody had frozen the time.
Only after a while did the commentator's voice bring everybody back to their senses, "Magnificent. Simply magnificent. Just what in the world was this shot? Such raw power. Such technique. It's simply unbelievable."
"I can't believe it. And it doesn't look like many can either. This boy here is a living missile."
The commentator was full of praise as he expressed his shock.
"Just what in the world was that shot?"
Many fans were in a daze. They displayed a mix of emotions such as shock, fear, awe, and bewilderment on their faces as they tried to make sense of the reality they had witnessed.
Hiro's shot sent tremors throughout the stadium.
Previously when he had scored the second goal for his team, he had already displayed his power. And many had already acknowledged his power.
But right now as they saw him surpassing the already impressive shot they couldn't help but feel dazzled by his display.
At the same time, many felt their heart palpitate.
Dribble, shot, passing, vision, accuracy, power.
Was there anything he wasn't good at?
Many opposing players couldn't help but question. Until this moment, he had fully displayed his abilities to the best. And witnessing his performance on the field though he was their rival they couldn't help but acknowledge him.
As for Hiro, he was as calm as if he had scored in an amateur league against some nobodies. He had scored such a stunner yet he didn't reveal even a hint of joy on his face.
Lost in his thoughts, he stared absentmindedly at the post, 'Isn't it more powerful than usual? Did I unlock some latent talent?'
Even Hiro was finding it hard to believe. Previously, he had never experienced such tremendous power. But all of a sudden, he could shoot even better.
Just what was happening?
Confused by the progression, he even checked his panel.
[Host: Takahashi Hiro]

[Position: Attacking midfielder/Winger/Forward]
[Club: Kawasaki Frontale]
[System Shop: Open]

[Possessed Skills: Focus, Lightning Steps, Magic Vision, Fireball Shot,.....]
As he went through his attribute panel, he couldn't find anything strange. Everything was just
the way he remembered.
What's with that indifferent expression?
Hiro was always unpredictable. So, it wasn't a shock for most of his teammates to see him
such calm after scoring a screamer.
But to the opposing players, it didn't make any sense at all. They simply couldn't see through his expression. It was as if he had put up a mask to hide his emotions.
Just like this Japan widened their lead.
Then as everybody got to their position, the game resumed.
After conceding the third goal of the game opposing players became even more desperate. In desperation, they tried everything possible to level the score. They upped their tempo and played more aggressively while at the same time, they became even more vigilant of Hiro.
They had seen his might.
And even after seeing his might if they left him unchecked, it would only hint at their ignorance. So how could they leave him alone?
But it wasn't only him who required attention now that other players had entered the field.
Kubo was equally threatening.
And they couldn't leave him unchecked either.
With so many players to look after, it became increasingly difficult for the opposing side to come up with a strategy to nullify all the outstanding players.
Hence they find it quite troublesome to score.
Taking advantage of their weakness, Kubo who had only come up recently further widened
their lead by scoring a goal in the 83rd minute.
Even so, despite scoring so many goals, they didn't put a halt to their rampage.
Just before the end of the second half, Kubo delivered a brilliant pass to Hiro which Hiro capitalized by scoring a brilliant volley to end the game.
Japan completely thrashed the home side with an overwhelming score of 5:1, leaving the home supporters utterly disappointed.
