Chapter 116 Wizard
Since Tatsuki couldn’t deny the fact that there were quite a lot of woman’s clothing store in the floor below, he had no other choice but to believe Hiro’s words.
Although he was a bit hesitant, he still accepted Hiro’s words, nonetheless.
“Fine!! I’ll trust your words.” Tatsuki mumbled while pouting his face.
Hearing Tatsuki’s response, Hiro and Imai, both of them released a short sigh of relief and impetuously smiled at each other, while exchanging glances with each other.
“So now if you’ve cleared your doubts then shall we shop something? Afterall if we go empty handed then the coach is obviously gonna get suspicious of us. And if he somehow finds out about our lies, he’ll never permit us to leave the hostel again.” Naoto implied.
“Then let’s head to the sports store first.” Imai suggested. “I too have few things which I need to buy.”
After that the four of them did a bit of shopping. Hiro bought some sorts, short shocks and two comfortable tracksuits.
He still hadn’t used his money which his parents had provided him before leaving home.
Naoto and Tatsuki, the two of them bought two pair of shocks each and some undergarments. Imai bought himself some sports wear and some tapes for taping his knuckles.
And by the time, they finished their shopping, it was already 2:05 PM.
“Now I think we should head back to the hostel. Afterall the coach has strictly warned us to be back by 3.” Naoto spoke while looking at his phone.
Tatsuki and Hiro both of them nodded their head.
“Before we head out, can you give me your phone for a while, Hiro?”
Imai asked for Hiro’s phone before heading out.
Hiro then took his phone out from his pocket and handed it to Imai. Hiro was using a decent android phone at that moment. Since he wasn’t a big fan of expensive mobile phones, he hadn’t bought anything expensive for him despite earning quite a hefty sum of money from newtube. .𝒄𝒐𝒎
Although he wasn’t incharge of his money or that’s what he still believed since his parents hadn’t disclosed the secret that they were saving the money under his name.
“Do you have a Facebook or Instagram account?” Questioned Imai while typing something on Hiro’s phone.
“I do. But I don’t use it.” Replied Hiro. “However I’ll be opening a new account today.”
“Well that works as well.” Saying such Imai handed him his phone back. “I’ve put my number so call me once you make your account. Afterall I still need to know the identity of the bullies which you mentioned about earlier.”
Although Hiro had disclosed everything to Imai, he still hadn’t provided Imai with the pictures of the bullies. And without knowing how they look, Imai couldn’t do anything.
“Thank you senior Imai. I’ll call you later after making an account.”

Tokushima, Japan
Inside a traditional japanese style two storey wooden house, at the second floor, Akashi, the spiky haired guy was lying on his bed, fiddling with his phone.
“That idiot hasn’t contacted me even once after moving to Kawasaki. Has he already forgotten about me?” Mumbled Akashi while putting down his phone.
“Though he already told me that he couldn’t use mobile phone in the hostel except during weekends, however it has already been about a month since he left for Kawasaki. And he still hasn’t contacted me.” While frowning his brows Akashi mumbled to himself.
He kept on thinking about Hiro. And the more he thought about him, the more he got agitated.
“Argh!! Let’s not think anything negative. He’s not the type of guy who’d abandon his friends.” Speaking such, he rose from his bed.
He then walked towards the window to get some cold air to cheer him up. Taking a deep breath, he then started to stare blankly at the night sky.
The night sky was just like a painting, beautiful and full of colours against the inky, black abyss. The canopy of stars were flickering like the flames of spectral candles and luminous glow of the moon was cutting through the darkness.
And looking at the serene glow of the crescent moon, he felt at ease. Lost in the beautiful scenery infront of him, he completely forgot about his worries.
Ding!!
Just then a sound of notification came from his phone. Despite hearing the notification, he didn’t react and instead ignored the sound of the notification.
Finally after about 5 minutes, he lifted his gaze away from the night sky. He then walked towards his bed. Throwing himself in his bed, Akashi then picked up his phone.
And just as he turned on his phone, he saw a notification from the Instagram. It was a follow request from an account named Wizard. And the account didn’t have a profile picture yet.
“Who’s this wizard guy?” Mumbled Akashi. “Well…. The only wizard I know is…. Hiro.”
“It’s from Hiro.” Excitedly mumbling such, Akashi abruptly rose from his bed.
Instead of using his real name, Hiro had opted for using an alias. And since he went with the name of Soccer Wizard back then, he used Wizard as his alias for his Instagram account.
In order to prevent people from searching his name online, he had intentionally used an alias. Afterall his real purpose of making that account was to communicate with his close friends.
Quickly accepting the follow request, he then immediately sent a follow request to Hiro since Hiro had also kept his account private.
Hiro however didn’t accept his request right away. And as impatient as Akashi was he began to message Hiro.
“It’s you right?”
“Man!! You took so long.”
“Yoh man!! Why aren’t you replying?”
After about a minute, Hiro finally accepted his follow request and messaged him back.
“Yup it’s me, your friend Hiro.”
“How have you been Akashi?”
“Sorry I was occupied with something.”
Akashi who was glued to his phone didn’t take long to respond. Just as he received Hiro’s messages, instead of messaging him, he video called him.
Ring!! Ring!! Ring!!
Hiro picked up the call. He was inside his room seated at his bed. Yuya, Shunta and Shun, the three of them were also in Hiro’s room at that moment.
“What took you so long to answer?” Complained Akashi as soon as Hiro picked the call.
“Well we were discussing something.” Hiro replied.
“We??” Sounding somewhat confused, Akashi questioned. Since he couldn’t see the rest of his three friends in the screen, he was confused by Hiro’s use of pronouns.
“Wait a while.” Mumbled Hiro
