Chapter 155 Rumours floating in classroom
Completely focused at the video playing infront of him, Lucas started to stare at the screen without blinking his eyes.
In the video just after Hiro let go of the ball, Tatsuki approached the ball from behind Hiro and shot the ball towards the post.
“Damn!! Even I didn’t notice that boy who scored the goal. I must say, he’s got an amazing vision.” Analysing the play leading to the goal, Lucas began to praise Hiro.
Hearing Lucas’s analysis, Eric lifted the corner of his mouth and smiled. As if he was satisfied with Lucas’s response, Eric chuckled inwardly.
“Just how old did you say he is?” Questioned Lucas while shifting his gaze towards Eric. And just as he turned towards Eric, Lucas found Eric smiling creepily.
Looking at Eric’s creepy smile, Lucas questioned while contorting his face, “Why are you smiling like that?”
Quickly changing his facial expression, Eric answered hurriedly, “Smiling like what? What’s wrong with my smile?”
“You’re smiling like those greedy club directors whenever they see an amazing talent come out from their academy.” Lucas answered earnestly.
“Well you’re an agent as well. So you too would want your players to perform well, so that you could fetch a higher price for your players.” Continued Lucas.
“Ahum!!” Eric coughed after hearing Lucas’s words. “I’m still standing right here, you know?”
“That’s why I said that. Don’t tell me that you hate money now. Hahaha….” Lucas chuckled while replying.
Hearing Lucas’s response, Eric’s face flushed. As if Lucas had exposed his true face, Eric turned totally speechless.
Seeing Eric’s speechless face, Lucas let out a hearty laughter , “Hahaha… Don’t worry Eric. It’s completely natural. Afterall who in the world would hate money?”
Hearing Lucas’s maniacal laughter, Eric started to get annoyed. Out of annoyance, Eric then tried to change the topic of their conversation, “Let’s continue watching the game.” 𝘪𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂
Whilst still laughing Lucas answered, “Okay… Okay… Let’s do that.”
After that the two of them continued to watch the highlight video of Tamagawa Clasico.
Just like chameleon changing it’s colour, Lucas’s facial expression changed countless times while watching the video.
Finally after about 2 minutes, Lucas broke his silence, “Seems like the game will end with this score. I have to say, the opposing team played pretty well in the second half.”
“Ha.. ha… ha…” Letting out a pretentious robotical laughter while pausing the video, Eric mumbled while making a smug expression, “Be prepared to get shocked.”
‘Has he lost his mind?’ Thought Lucas after hearing Eric’s words.
After finishing his sentence, Eric then resumed the video.
His brows raised, his pupils enlarged and his mouth agape, Lucas was seated in his seat, completely speechless while staring at the screen infront of him.
Witnessing Lucas’s expression, Eric questioned, “So how was the surprise?”
“Out of this world.” Subconsciously answered Lucas whilst still staring at the screen.

Inside a classroom, groups of students were gathered in one of the seats beside the window.
“Damn!! I swear when I was watching that video, I saw glimpse of Christiano Ronaldo on the pitch.” One of the student exaggerated.
“I guess he only remembered that bicycle kick from the match.” Answered another guy with glasses while adjusting his glasses.
And just as the guy with the glasses mentioned such, the face of the previous guy flushed. Gritting his teeth, he shouted, “I watched the whole game.”
Another guy standing beside him, patted his back and tried to calm him down, “Don’t get worked up Wasaki. Tora is only teasing you.”
The guy with the glasses then nodded his head and answered with a smile on his face, “Yeah Yushi is right. I’m only teasing you Wasaki. We all know how much you like watching football. There’s no one in our group who’s crazier for football as much as you are.”
While saying such, Tora paused all of a sudden and looked at the seat at the fourth row, “Apart from the guy who sits there.”
That seat belonged to Hiro and the aforementioned person was also Hiro.
“Yeah I heard that even before he started to walk, he started to play with the ball.” Answered another guy who was standing behind Tora.
Hearing his words the three guys who were gathered around him burst out into laughter, “Hahahaha”
“It’s only a rumour. There’s no way anyone could do that.” Yushi replied while laughing.
Just when they were laughing and joking with each other, a somewhat obese guy with straight hair approached them.
“What’s making you laugh like this?” Questioned the obese guy.
“Oh Rin it’s you.” Answered Wasaki while looking at the sight of Rin.
“It’s nothing much. We were just talking about Hiro.” Answered Yushi.
Since being friends with Hiro, the topic of Hiro always used to pique his interest. Thus at that time too, hearing the name of Hiro got him curious.
Curious about what they were talking about his friend, Rin asked, “Oh!! What were you all talking about him?”
“Just some rumours.” Answered Tora whilst still laughing.
“What kind of rumours?” Rin asked casually.
Without thinking of the consequences, Wasaki answered with a smile on his face, “I don’t know the source of rumour. But I heard from someone that while Hiro was still a child, he used to be so obsessed with training that he literally trained like Saitama from the manga ‘One Punch Man’.”
Nodding his head, Rin answered casually without any changes in his facial expression, “Yeah that’s right. He did mention that he used to train like that. Waking up at 5 in the morning, he used to do all those sets of training drills. Half in the morning and other half in the evening.”
Hearing Rin’s response and seeing how serious Rin looked, everybody around Rin turned completely speechless. Their smiles faded away and their facial expression changed. All of a sudden the atmosphere around them started to feel heavy.
Gulping his saliva, Wasaki nervously asked, “So you’re saying that those exaggerated rumours are true?”
Drifting his gaze upwards as if he was trying to think of something, Rin answered, “I’m not sure about all those rumours. Like the one where someone said that sometimes he talks to himself while making faces. Or the ones where, he sometimes seemed like he’s talking to ghost. Or those one stating that he’s possessed.”
