My system allows me to copy talents

Chapter 238 Provocative words

After spending a peaceful night at the luxurious resort, currently players of national U17 team were gathered in a pitch which looked like some kind of training facility.

Right in the morning after having a lavish breakfast in the resort, they were transported to this training facility.

Evidently they were only staying at the resort for a night and not for their entire trip.

“That sleep I had yesterday in those comfy beds, it’s the best sleep I had in my entire life till now. I wish… I could stay there a little longer” spoke Shun while adjusting his gloves.

His eyes were reflecting a sense of longing right now while his tone filled with grief was like that of a person who was separated from his/her loved ones.

Yutaka who was fixing his jersey, standing beside Hiro and Shun, chuckled as he nodded his head in agreement.

“I agree… That sleep was the best I had till now. However that lobster meat we had in this morning tasted even better” Yutaka answered while nodding his head.

Talking about the lobster meat, Yutaka’s thought drifted to the moment they had their breakfast today. Thinking about of the moment, he subconsciously started to drool.

Although Hiro shared the same feelings as the two of them, he was a bit hesitant to express his feelings openly like those two. Thus, he kept a poker face and continued to remain silent.

Sure enough because of their stay in such a luxurious resort, morale of the players in the training facility was quite high even this early in the morning.

Moments like this made the players extremely grateful that they were playing football.

Life of luxury, who doesn’t dream about it? Playing football to earn money, what’s wrong with it? Everybody have their own motive to play football.

And passion alone won’t feed you. So if you are one of those people who curse players for selecting money then you’re just a hypocrite.

Just then while the three of them were conversing with each other, one of their teammate approached them.

Black hair, eerie black eyes and a cold indifferent expression as if he was looking down on everyone, out of nowhere Tominaga Nijichi walked towards Hiro while exuding an aura of arrogance around him.

Since he was Yutaka’s club teammate, Yutaka immediately rushed forward to face him upon seeing Nijichi walking towards him, thinking that Tominaga approached them because he had something to talk about with him, “Are you looking for me captain?”

However Tominaga Nijichi walked past him without uttering a single word, totally ignoring Yutaka’s presence.

Yutaka was baffled by Tominaga’s attitude. Then again, he kept his eyes fixated on him with a perplexing look on his face.

Tominaga was headed towards Hiro who was currently stretching his legs.

“Winner of Takamado Cup, Takahashi Hiro?” coldly spoke Nijichi as he approached Hiro.

His voice sounded neither amicable nor malicious. But sure enough, he hadn’t approached Hiro to befriend him or ask for some suggestions.

Turning behind to look at the source of the sound, Hiro found Nijichi staring at him with his cold black eyes.

“Yes?” Answered Hiro as he looked Nijichi in the eyes without wavering.

“We have some accounts left to be settled” mumbled Nijichi while shooting cold glares at Hiro.

Hearing Nijichi’s words, his eyes opened wide and a big question mark appeared atop his head.

‘Huh? What account?’ thought Hiro as he heard Nijichi’s words.

He was completely dumbfounded by Nijichi’s words. Afterall despite meeting once previously, it was his first time talking to Nijichi. Thus, he had absolutely no idea about what Nijichi was talking about.

Sensing danger, Shun who was standing beside Hiro immediately walked infront of Nijichi as he felt like Nijichi was there to find some troubles with Hiro.

His tone a bit harsh and his gazes glowing with cold light, Shun confronted Nijichi without any fear, “What account? Would you mind sharing with us?”

Seeing the scene taking place infront of his eyes, Yutaka immediately rushed towards the direction where the three of them were gathered.

At one side, it was his clubs Captain and at another side, it was his friends. Although he found himself in dilemma, he knew that he had to do something to separate the three of them.

Thus he rushed towards them with an intention of preventing conflicts.

Tominaga Nijichi averted his gaze from Shun as he spoke coldly, “Scram, you small fry!! I don’t have any issues with you”

As if Shun wasn’t even worth looking at, Tominaga didn’t even bother to stare at Shun.

Hearing such provocative words, the rage inside Shun started to bubble like boiling tar. With his fist clenched, he shot gaze full of rage towards Tominaga Nijichi. It was evident that Shun was about to explode.

Yutaka who was rushing towards them with the intention of solving the conflict, his heart sank as he heard such provocative words from his captain’s mouth. .𝒎

‘It’s over!’ Yutaka thought as he stopped in his tracks.

Just when Shun was about to raise his fist, Hiro stretched his hands to grab his.

Feeling the sensation of touch, Shun’s gaze averted from Tominaga Nijichi for the first time since he approached Hiro.

Looking at Hiro’s hands, he rolled his eyes towards Hiro’s face.

Hiro was gesturing him to calm down.

Immediately Shun loosened his strength as he relaxed his fingers.

Hiro then slowly rose and asked coldly, “So what accounts are you talking about?”

Locking eyes with Nijichi, he coldly stared him in the eyes without blinking his eyes. 𝑖𝘦.𝒸𝘰𝑚

His tone sounded extremely arrogant as he spoke, “You might have beaten me previously in the selection camp. And I was quite regretful that I didn’t make it to the finals. But since we’re both here, let’s have a duel.”

‘Pft- hahaha what?? Duel?? So you were here to ask for a duel?’ Hiro laughed inwardly as he found the situation quite funny after hearing Nijichi’s words.

All along he had approached Hiro, just to ask him for a duel. And all along, he had thought that Nijichi was going to talk about something serious.

However it was only a challenge request. Well the way he spoke, it didn’t seem like a request. It sounded more like a threat. Still it was only a challenge.

Hiro lossened his tensed expression as he answered, “I don’t mind competing against you. But what do you want to compete against?”

“Since you’re good at freekicks. Let’s do a freekick challenge” spoke Nijichi with the same indifferent tone.

Based on his expression and tone, it seemed like he was quite serious about the challenge. However he acted the same since the moment he approached him, so who knows if he was serious or not?
