Chapter 117 Video call
"Ahum!! Former teammates." Coughing a little, Yuya spoke sarcastically.
Hearing the sarcasm, Shunta and Shun burst out into laughter.
And as he introduced the three of them to Akashi, all of them waved their hands towards the camera, greeting Akashi with cheerful smile on their faces.
Akashi too quickly changed his tone and introduced himself politely to Hiro\'s friends.
Noticing the sudden change in Akashi\'s tone, Hiro couldn\'t help himself from staring at Akashi with his eyes wide open. As if he had seen something mind-blowing, he just couldn\'t handle the sudden change in Akashi\'s tone.
\'When did this idiot learned to speak so politely? Man he\'s even more unpredictable than my system.\' Hiro thought to himself.
And as the four of them started to chat with each other, Yuya snatched the phone away from his hands.
Since both the sides were close to Hiro, instantly the four of them clicked with each other. As if the four of them were already friends with each other, they completely forgot about Hiro at that moment.
"Ahh right!! What kind of girls do you guys like?" Asked Akashi while making a serious face.
\'Huh!! What are they talking about? Suddenly they\'re talking about girls.\' With a dumbfounded look on his face, Hiro thought after hearing the progress of their conversation. \'Wasn\'t he pissed at me for not calling him, a moment ago?\'
"A girl with cute face and curvaceous body." Shun replied with his tanned cheeks turning kinda red.
Hiro could tell who he was talking about just by hearing those simple words.
\'Minami Miura\' Thought Hiro after hearing Shun\'s reply.
"Just why don\'t you reveal her name too." Giggled Yuya.
"Yeah. He has a crush on this girl named Minami Miura from our school." While smiling Shunta revealed the name of Shun\'s crush. "Although I\'ve been hearing some rumours that she\'s interested in Hiro instead."
"You..." Shun gritted his teeth as he jumped atop Shunta, playfully.
"It happened to you too?" Akashi intoned sounding somewhat surprised.
Hearing Akashi\'s reply, Shun paused and replied, "What do you mean by you too?"
"There was this girl named Nanami whom I had a crush on. And I only found it recently that she had a crush on Hiro instead." Akashi revealed.
And as Akashi revealed that information, all four of them switched their attention towards Hiro. Staring at him coldly, they looked like they were about to commit murder.
Noticing their gaze, Hiro knew they were upto something. "I\'m not at fault guys. I don\'t even know them much." Spoke Hiro while trying to defend himself. Aferall he hadn\'t done such things intentionally.
As expected the three of them then launched towards Hiro while yelling, "It\'s all because of your good looks."
"Damn!! I\'m so jealous of your looks." Cried out Shun.
The four of them continued to wrestle playfully for a while. Akashi who could hear them loud and clear was laughing till his stomach started to ache.
Finally as they calmed down, Akashi spoke again, "By the way, what do you think of Hiro\'s footballing talent?"
Hearing Akashi\'s question, the smile on their face faded away. All of a sudden the ambience around them got ghastly silent.
While making a serious expression, Yuya blurted out, "An unsurpassable talent."
"I do enjoy playing with him. But sometimes his talent.... intimidates me." Shunta added with his voice slightly shaking.
"I feel the same as well. He\'s already a nightmare for goalkeepers and defenders. I wonder how lethal he\'ll be once he makes it to the professional stage." Shun mumbled while looking at Hiro with eyes full of admiration.
Akashi who was listening to their answers from the other side of the phone, nodded seriously.
"I can relate to that. But as his friend and as his teammate who played with him since he was a kid. I can tell you all that if you learn from him, you all will definitely improve. With his guidance, I made it to the nationals. And for that I\'ll always be grateful to him." Akashi spoke with great admiration.
Although Akashi never once revealed about it to Hiro but he was always really grateful to Hiro for helping him improve.
Hearing such words of admiration, Hiro felt his body tingling. With the sides of his lips twitching, he tried to control himself from smiling. With his heart filled with a sensation of warmth, he was extremely happy to hear such warm words from his friends.
However as happy as he was, he maintained a poker face and acted as if their warm words didn\'t affect him in any way.
"I wonder if he\'ll become the first asian player to win a Balon d\'Or in the near future." Shunta added.
"Well I\'m not sure about it. But it\'s likely possible since by that time Messi and Ronald would have already hanged their boots." Yuya joked.
"But don\'t forget about Mbappe and Halland. They both have already won Golden boy award for the year 2017 and 2020 respectively. By the time Hiro moves to Europe, they\'ll already be in their prime." Replied Shun.
"You guys are forgetting about Pedri, Saka, Bellingham, Phoden and many more. The world is still filled with vast number of talented players. And who knows what kind of monsters are hiding." Hiro too joined in on the conversation.
Although he knew about the name of the future winners of the Balon d\'Or, he decided to keep it a secret. Also there was also the possibility of the future changing.
Since his regression could trigger a butterfly effect. As small as it is any changes in the past would directly affect the future afterall.
Suddenly their casual conversation steered into football talks. Talking about the possible future winner of Balon d\'Or, all five of them expressed their own opinions.
And as such the five of them kept on conversing about football for nearly 2 hours.
