Feeling the sensation of warmth, Hiro shut his eyes tightly. As if some small worms were wiggling around his pupil, he felt a tingling sensation in his eyes.

Although the feeling was somewhat weird, it wasn’t painful at all. Infact apart from that weird tingling sensation, he felt the warm sensation quite soothing.

Finally after few seconds, as the tingling sensation vanished overtime, Hiro slowly opened his eyes.

And as he opened his eyes, to his surprise he found the world around him even more clearer than before.

Quite surprised by the changes in the world around him, his pupils enlarged as he muttered to himself, “Damn!! Everything looks so… Clear”

As if he was seeing through a lens which was customised to cure his visual defects, his vision got more sharper at this very instant. It was like everything he was seeing was in HD.

However as he continued to look around him with his heightened vision, his eyes started to hurt and he started feeling lightheaded all of a sudden. Just like how any normal person would feel after wearing high powered glasses for the first time, he felt the same.

Hiro then lightly covered one side of his eyes and let out a subtle laughter with his head lowered, “Haha… This sensation feels… Quite amazing”

Perspiration was running down his face and his complexion had turned somewhat pale. One could clearly see that he was in pain right now.

Even so, instead of contorting his face in agony he was smiling at this moment.

Even though his eyes were hurting, he looked like he was enjoying this newfound sensation.

One might really mistook him as a madman if they were to see him in such state.

After gaining this new skill “Eagle Eye”, for the next three days until the arrival of the match with Jordan, Hiro continued to use this newfound skill to get familiar with the usage of the skill.

The first time he used his skill in one of the training match, it was such a terrifying experience that he was literally frozen at his place. The shock he had received was just too great for him to digest in that short while.

For a while it felt like his world was shattering right before his eyes while using that newfound skill “Eagle Eye”.

Just like an eagle observing the ground beneath from high heaven, he could see every minute details of the entire field. Be it the position of players, ball, position of manager, he could see it all.

Observing the entire field from above, he felt like he was a god watching over puny mortals from above. It was such an exhilarating experience which he could never forget in his entire lifetime.

Just like that for the next three days he tried to get familiarise with the new skill as much as he could. Although the skill provided him great vision, it also limited his movement.

It was just too strenuous and mind boggling to focus at his movement and the field at the same time.

In the vast expanse, the blazing sphere of fire was shining brightly while casting it’s warm golden rays across the surface.

Drifting along with the cool breeze, puffy white clouds of different shapes and sizes were floating aimlessly in the sky.

Brightly illuminated sun, azure blue sky, mild warm breeze, white puffy clouds floating in the vast expanse, as if it was some kind of live wallpaper, right now the peaceful sky looked like it could calm the heart of any onlookers.

However the surface beneath looked quite chaotic at the moment. Filled with the cheers of the peoples, right now the stadium where the match between Japan and Jordan was supposed to take place was echoing with the voice of different peoples.

Although most part of the stadium remained vacant, about 20 percent of the stadium was occupied by peoples.

Most of them being players of different nation and local people, looking from high above those people in the stadium looked like tiny moving dots.

“Okay guys! I want you all to pay attention to this match. At the end of the day, I’d like to hear all of your opinions. So pay attention to this match” an elderly male with dad bod and white beard spoke in a deep voice.

About 167cm tall, dark complexioned, big round eyes, his wavy short hair, a mixture of back and white, he was the manager of Indian national u17 team.

Just at a certain distance away from the stand which was occupied by Indian national U17 team, players and managers of national u17 team of Vietnam and Philippines were also seated at one section of the stand each, awaiting to spectate the match between Japan and Jordan u17 national team.

While Philippines didn’t have any match until the day after tomorrow, Vietnam and India both were going to play against each other, tomorrow in this very stadium.

However the current stadium wasn’t only going to host group B’s match, after about 4 hours it was also going to host the match between China and South Korea as well.

And that was the reason why the local people of china had come to the stadium right now. It wasn’t because they were interested in the match between Japan and Jordan. Rather it was simply to book a seat early for the match between China and South Korea.

However that didn’t mean that there weren’t any supporters of Jordan or Japan. Few football enthusiast of both nation had travelled to China to show their support to their national team.

“Hello everyone! Welcome to the first match of the group B of the Asian qualifiers” a lively voice echoed as the commentator greeted the people in the stands.

Sure enough the commentator being a Chinese man was commentating in Chinese right now.

And in this moment, even though the stadium looked quite vacant, flock of people were queuing outside the stadium.

Slowly and gradually the stands of the stadium was being filled.

Inside the tunnel, U17 players of both the team were queued up side by side.

While one group of players remained mostly silent, another group of players were being quite noisy.

Chatting in their cheerful voices, not even a bit of tension and nervousness could be seen in their faces.

Brimming with confidence, most players of Japan were currently joking with each other.

“Who do you think will be the highest scorer of this tournament?”

“How many goals do you think we’ll score in today’s match?”

“May be 4 or 5. Hahaha…..”

On the other hand, faces of most players of Jordan looked quite stiff and grim. Despite reflecting the light coming from one end of the tunnel, their eyes seemed quite dull and listless.

Their brows tightly knitted, their expression grim, as if they were bothered by something, they looked quite tensed right now.

Why wouldn’t they be tensed? Afterall they were going to face one of the favourites of the tournament.

Also just like national team of Japan, they didn’t have much information regarding the players of Japan as well.

If and only if they could face Japan in their second match, perhaps they wouldn’t have been this worried.

However call it bad luck or fate, they were facing Japan with only limited information.

As there’s a saying, “Unknown is the most terrifying thing in the world”

Well by that logic players of Japan should also be worrying right now.

But the reason why they were not worried was mainly because they trusted the assembled team. With superstar players like Hiro and others, how could they not be confident?

Unable to bear the jokes of his teammates, Hiro stepped out of his position and walked towards the group of players who were being noisy at this moment.

Staring coldly at those players, Hiro mumbled, “Let’s give some respect to our opponents, shall we?”

As those players heard Hiro’s voice and locked eyes with Hiro, a cold sweat ran down their body.

Those bunch immediately shut their mouth and docilely nodded their head.

Hiro’s action didn’t go unnoticed as players of Jordan noticed his action as well.

Some anxious players of Jordan started to shiver inwardly as they developed a fear against Hiro.

‘Damn!! He’s scary’ cried out one of the player of Jordan while looking at Hiro.

Although he made his intentions clear, Hiro wasn’t done yet. Thus before returning to his position, he scoffed at his teammates for their arrogant behaviour, “Confidence is good but not overconfidence”

Although the players of Jordan couldn’t understand Hiro’s words, they still felt chills after hearing the tone of his voice.

Just by observing the body language of people, one could roughly differentiate between strong minded and weak minded people.

All along, for the entirety of their stay at the tunnel, Hiro hadn’t spoken anything, despite wearing the captain armband.

Most of the time, it should have been the captain doing the talking. However seeing te opposing captain as calm as night sky, players of Jordan were quite nervous all along.

But now as Hiro opened his mouth while emitting a terrifying aura around him, their nervousness changed into fear.
