"What!?"

Everybody who were paying attention to Hiro at the moment were left completely stunned. Their eyes displaying shock and their face displaying utter disbelief, they all had a stupefied look on their face.

Just by looking at their facial expression, one could tell that almost no-one in that pitch had expected Hiro to make that shot.

Considering Hiro's reputation, it simply didn't seem like something Hiro would do.

For some moment, the surrounding environment around Hiro turned ghastly silent after he made that shot.

And the only thing which could be heard at the moment was the rustle of the mild breeze as it blew along the pitch.

Gently caressing his face, Hiro's hair was fluttering along with the wind.

Finally Shun broke the silence as he let out a cheerful laughter, "Hahahaha.... That was a damn amazing goal. Completely out of everybody's expectations"

As soon as Shun's voice echoed and broke the silence, almost everybody started making all sorts of comments.

"Damn!! How did he think of doing that?"

"I've rarely seen anybody shooting freekick beneath the walls"

"Hahahaha... But one has to admit, that goal was indeed something special"

Hiro was as sly as fox. All along since the beginning of the challenge when he witnessed Nijichi's shot getting deflected, he had been pondering about different ideas to procure the ideal result.

Exploiting his reputation of a direct freekick taker and exploiting the fear and doubts in the heart of other players, he had executed this move after thoughtful consideration.

And now as he witnessed the fruit his planning bore, Hiro was quite satisfied with the results.

This move not only will give him the lead and kickstart. This move will further increase the vigilance of the players against him.

Now after this goal, they'll have to worry about one more thing which was to watch out for any ground shots.

At a certain distance away from the spot where Hiro had scored his first freekick goal, Nijichi could be seen frowning.

The worry in his face had now turned into fear. His pupils, shrunk to pin-sized and his clenched fist trembling vigorously, he was desperately trying to mask his emotions at this moment.

It was evident that his confidence which had already taken a hit was now on the verge of shattering.

Hiro however paid no attention to Nijichi. Neither did he celebrate his goal. Infact currently he was already thinking about his next step.

'With this they'll have to worry about one more thing. But how should I go with the next move?' pondered Hiro while thinking deeply.

Just then while thinking about his next move, the corner of his lips lifted up slightly and a cold light flashed in his eyes as he displayed a sinister smile on his face.

"One of the player, please lie on the ground to prevent such incident from happening again" yelled Taki as he suggested a preventive measure to counter Hiro.

Although he was pleading, his tone was extremely deep and loud as he said those words to the players.

Sure enough not only that move by Hiro had shocked him, it had also made him feel humiliated.

Afterall unlike Nijichi's shot filled with power, Hiro's shot was more like a pass. If he hadn't acted so early, he would have easily made that save.

And as Hiro prepared to take his second freekick, he could see one of the player lying on the ground behind the group of players acting as the walls.

Even so, he kept his poker face. As if he was expecting such scenario, he didn't look bothered in the slightest.

However although they had solved the problem of ground shot, now they also had one less person in the wall. One less person in the wall meant more space in the wall.

"Ohh!! They're learning from their mistake" mused one of the coach as he witnessed the action taken by the players.

"But you gotta admit, this Takahashi Hiro is really an impressive player" commented another coach in a flattering tone.

Once again, as Hiro stood before the ball to take his second freekick, the players infront of him looked at him nervously.

Each trying to figure out his motive, they all were intently staring at Hiro, observing every minute details.

Taki who was trying his best to see from the gaps of the wall was having it the hardest. With no vision whatsoever, he had to mostly rely on his intuition.

Thus at this moment he couldn't afford to panic. With his eyes squinted, he was trying his best to figure out Hiro's move from the gaps of the walls.

Just then Hiro started to run. And as Taki noticed Hiro's movement, he tightened his muscles as he vigilantly took his stance.

Since everybody knew that Hiro could shoot equally well with both legs, they all were focusing intently at Hiro's movement.

Guessing the right foot could greatly determine Hiro's shooting course. Thus, everybody in the wall right now were completely in sync.

After a short run-up, Hiro stretched his left leg after approaching near the ball.

Seeing that Hiro was going to use his left foot, everybody in the wall became joyous for a moment.

Shooting with his left foot from the right flank most probably meant that he was going to aim at the top left corner. Thus right now, some players in the wall were even smiling.

However once again, as if they're thrown into a fiery pit of the hell straight from the heaven, their smile quickly faded away as they noticed the trajectory of the ball.

Contrary to their expectations, it was completely on the opposite side. The player from whose side the ball flew could even hear the swishing sound of the ball as it travelled some inches beside his head.

Once again, Taki had predicted wrongly.

Instead of the top left corner, the ball entered the post from the top right corner.

It shouldn't be possible? How can it be possible?

Under normal circumstances such shot wouldn't have been possible. However for this shot Hiro had used the outside of his foot.

If he had hit the ball with the inside of the foot, the ball would have curved in the top left corner. However since he used the outside of his left foot, the ball curved towards the top right corner.

Not only this goal tied Nijichi's tally, it also shattered everybody's expectations, once again.

Their already shocked face was now even more shocked. Their jaws wide open which could fit a fist in it.

Their eyes wide open as if their eyes could come out from their eye sockets. Once again, Hiro had silenced almost every player in the field with his marvelous freekick.
