The realization struck him like a freight train.
Thinking that he was worrying about a fox who was rely putting up a facade infuriated Hiro.
Hiro had even prepared himself to lower his head even though he hated him. But that sly fox was deceiving him. To think that he felt pity for such a person disgusted him.
'This cunning fox nearly deceived .'
Hiro gnashed his teeth as he glared at Wei Zen.
"Ptoo-" Hiro spat a mouthful of spit before turning to leave.
Then he stomped away, 'I won't forget this, you cunning fox."
Seeing him walking away, many opposing fans beca even more agitated at him. His gesture was unsportsmanlike.
"That arrogant brat, now that he can't do anything, he's finally shown his true colors." One of the opposing fans scoffed.
"Indeed, it seems that he has quite a nasty temper."
Another chid in.
Now that the montum was shifting to their side, the opposing fans looked more united than ever and even their lost enthusiasm was starting to return.
With that being said, they were more eager to support their players.
As for the Japanese supporters, although they were still winning the ga, they were starting to feel anxious by the growing tension on the field.
They didn't want their star player to receive such a nasty reputation.
All of a sudden the atmosphere of the stadium shifted.
Boo!
The jeering sound filled with disapproval echoed in the stadium as the opposing fans started booing Hiro.
The sudden shift in the atmosphere of the stadium drew the attention of almost everyone present in the stadium.
"It seems like almost every opposing fan present in the stadium has antagonized Hiro. Until just now, he had been having a fairytale-like run. However, it appears that it's as far as he could go. You have to feel sad about him."
The comntator couldn't help but remark on the sudden change in the stadium.
It was as said by the comntator. If anybody saw the scene taking place in the stadium right now, they'd probably think that Hiro had antagonized the entire opposition.
It truly appeared as if the entirety of the venue was against him.
Upon hearing the jeers, Naoto turned to look at Hiro, casting a concerned gaze on him. Even though he was fully aware of the ntality he held, Naoto couldn't help but feel worried about him.
The pressure was overwhelming to the extent that it even made him weak.
So, how could a kid who's only sixteen fare off against such overwhelming pressure?
However, when he turned to look at him, he found sothing strange. He might be imagining things but he definitely felt a cold aura leaking from Hiro.
Hiro appeared like a predator.
There wasn't even a shed of fear oozing from him. Rather, he appeared more confident than ever. It was like he was a wounded lone soldier bathed in blood and covered in wounds, walking with a striking presence in a scene of carnage and destruction.
Those voices that were booing him were like the resentnt of the souls that had died in his hands. With each step he took, he could hear them growing louder.
He could palpably feel their resentnt against him.
But it didn't scare him.
Rather he felt comfort in it.
Revealing a sinister grin on his youthful face, Hiro whispered under his breath, "The greater the commotion the greater the satisfaction."
Wei Zen's attitude might be the cause of it. But sothing had definitely changed in Hiro after he found out about his deception.
He felt that he had been quite naive to be deceived by such a low level of acting. More than anything else, he felt disgusted by the naive ntality he had.
There was already a lot going on in his life. Yet the people around him don't give him any break. They co after him one after another.
Previously, he had assud it rely as a fate.
He had thought that it was due to his popularity. But now that he faced an opponent who was taking advantage of his silence, he understood sothing— it wasn't his fate but rather his weakness that had brought him into such a situation.
If only he had decided to act instead of remaining silent, the situation might have been different. If only he dared to fight back, it might have been different.
The one who got himself into this situation was himself.
Finally, Hiro realized the fact.
And the one to get him out of this misery would also have to be him. There won't be anyone coming to his aid.
He has to drag him out of this misery himself.
An ominous intent flashed past Hiro's eyes as he vowed to wipe off that smirk from Wei Zen's
face, "Just you wait you cunning fox..."
"Are you okay?" Tatsuki timidly asked him.
There was an evident concern on his face. And he appeared quite worried about him.
Hiro looked at him deeply before answering, "Let's play the best ga of our life today."
Tatsuki felt puzzled upon hearing him. But he also felt glad that Hiro didn't seem affected by the jeers targeting him.
He was well aware of Hiro's ntal fortitude. But he felt even more srized when he saw the calm and collected expression of Hiro at the mont.
Tatsuki nodded his head as he said with determination, "You're right. Let's silence this bunch of freaks."
At the mont, Manager Nanami was thinking of substituting Hiro. After all, he had already done enough. So there wasn't any need for him to go even further than this.
But he was also hesitating that it might affect him negatively if he brought him out so abruptly after he got booed. So, he couldn't bring himself to decide.
'Let's wait a bit more before deciding'
Unable to decide, he put the matter on hold.
He wanted to have faith in Hiro. And he wanted him to overco the situation himself. If he
brought him out, he would be depriving him of that opportunity.
