Chapter 270 Arcade III

Hiro on the other hand upon listening to his explanations began to contemplate. He could roughly summarise the situation that was unfolding currently.

"So she called her brother on you guys?" Yutaka couldn't hold himself back from questioning.

Honda helplessly shook his head before answering, "No... She didn't"

"She didn't?!" Yutaka blurted out in shock with both his voice and brows raised.

Honda's answer greatly surprised everybody. His answers were completely out of their expectation. Even Hiro who had thought that he had figured out the situation was stunned by his answer.

In one way or other, every one of them who were listening to Honda's explanation had thought that the girl had called her brother on them.

However when Honda denied that claim and completely obliterated their expectation, they couldn't help but display look full of surprise.

'Then why did they come to find trouble with them?' Hiro pondered after listening to Honda's response.

The fog which he had thought had cleared from his mind suddenly became dense as it totally veiled his vision.

However the next sentence which came out from Honda's mouth, once again cleared that fog which was clouding his mind, "She didn't but her brother found it out and thus he came with his teammates to discipline Ken. After that to defend Ken, Shun stepped forward. And here we are now, competing against them with the bet that the loser has to kneel down and beg for forgiveness"

Finally everything fell into place. However judging by the tone of Honda and judging from his earlier anxious expression, Hiro could deduce that they were losing currently.

Even so, to confirm his doubts, Hiro decided to question Honda before coming to a conclusion, "So what's the theme of competition? And are you guys winning or losing?"

"The theme of the competition is to score the most number of goals from penalty and freekick against that robot goalkeeper placed over there. And as for whether we are winning or losing. Currently we are...." While Honda was speaking, he paused all of a sudden. His eyes flickered with hesitation.

Sure enough, judging by his reaction, everybody present there could tell that they were losing currently.

Thus many of them frowned while seeing Honda's hesitation.

"Can we switch players?" Hiro asked.

Upon hearing such words coming out Hiro's mouth, out of nowhere Honda's gaze perked-up as it jolted towards Hiro.

The flame of hope which was on the verge of extinguishing flickered with unprecedented light as it ignited even more furiously.

He knew that if Hiro were to step in, situation could still be salvaged. He knew that with Hiro's help, they could turn the tides.

Honda's gaze flickered with hope as he hurriedly answered while vigorously nodding his head, "Yes as long as it is from our team we can. Only about 4 shots have been shot, so we still have 6 more penalty shots and 10 more freekick shots"

It had been a lot time since they started to interrogate Honda. So obviously, they'd have shot more shots than that.

"Then let's hurry up" Hiro spoke as he asked Honda to lead the way.

Squeezing their way out of the crowd, they then arrived at the scene. Right now the opposing team had scored 5 out of 7 penalty. On the other hand, his teammates had managed to score only 3 out of 7 penalty.

The difference although seemed small was infact quite huge.

Considering the absence of most of his team's attacking players, one could say that they were performing fairly well.

However that didn't mean that Hiro was impressed by his teammates. On the contrary, he was quite upset with his teammates.

While they still had a game in hand, they had created a ruckus with their opponents even before the start of the game. And that too, on a foreign land.

If coaches were to find out about this incident, they were surely going to get reprimanded. Even worst they might never be allowed to leave on their own afterwards.

"Woohoo!!"

"Good shot!! Good shot!!"

The crowd gathered around the space were shouting while an anonymous young boy with black hair was preparing to shoot the ball.

The post infront was just about the size of real football post. And the inanimate keeper made out of plastic was about as tall as the post.

The boy then tried to shoot the ball at the top right corner, however the robot keeper blocked his shot with ease.

Although the inanimate keeper could only move left and right, it could cover almost the entire post.

To beat that keeper, either you'd have to shoot precisely at the top left or top right corner or you'd just have shoot faster than the keeper's reaction.

Considering that the keeper could sense the direction of the ball because of the sensor placed inside the ball and accurately judge the timing of save, it was almost near to impossible to trick that robot keeper.

And even that former option to try to slot the ball at the top corner, it was easier said than done.

However Hiro who had seen way advanced technology than this let out a subtle smile upon seeing this marvel of a man.

In future there'd be robot players who could not only imitate the movements of real players but could also surpass the reaction speed of world-class players.

Specially that holographic AI training assistant, although still far from perfect, it revolutionised the modern training.

However Hiro never got the opportunity to experience any of those things. Those things were only reserved for the elite clubs.

And Hiro who couldn't even make it to the professional stage could only watch them on the screen from afar.

Upon seeing Hiro, Shun and other who were participating in the competition, their face lit up as a bright smile formed on their face.
