Chapter 484: A trip to Georgia
Even so, he should end his speech before he spewed something stupid. So while he was still at the center of attention, he decided to end his speech.
Any more and it would start to sound insincere.
For once, since he began criticizing, his tone softened, "But as I\'ve said before..... It\'s not the end. You can either choose to learn from it or you can lament your weakness. The decision to change... it\'s all up to you"
Earlier they were muddled due to the frustration of getting left behind. But it was different right now. They could think more clearly due to the coach\'s criticism.
Hence when they heard his words of encouragement they couldn\'t contain the energy that was surging to show itself.
At once, it burst forth, rekindling the spark that had been smothered by the disappointment. It was exactly as said him. If they changed their perspective and thought of this moment as an opportunity to learn they\'d benefit a lot from this failure.
Upon hearing him, a few of the bunches clenched their fist tightly, making a silent vow to improve themselves and challenge again.
However, not everyone received the speech positively. Some still chose to blame the outside factor for their missed opportunity.
After finalizing the squad, they boarded a plane for Georgia for their match against the Georgian team. The ride was comfortable, and they landed safely without any issues. Upon arrival, they were warmly received by their hosts.
On the way to their hotel, Hiro couldn\'t take his eyes off the European architecture. It was his first time in Europe, and everything seemed surreal to him-the cobblestone streets, the charming houses with ornate balconies, and the ancient buildings that stood as silent witnesses to history.
It wasn\'t only him who seemed fascinated by the architecture.
Most who were seated by the window had the same gleam of fascination in their eyes. The scenery outside left them thoroughly enthralled.
As for the veteran players, most maintained their composure as they kept a poker face. They acted uninterested and remained unfazed by the beauty outside.
"Hahaha...., For once Hiro seems like a normal teenager," Pointing at Hiro, Kaoru spoke with a subtle smile on his face.
"I was once like them as well," Kenji spoke with a feeling of nostalgia. "But you don\'t seem fascinated by the scenery outside. Perhaps, you\'ve already been to Europe before?"
While all those who had been to Europe for the first time acted interested, Kaoru seemed unusually calm. So Kenji found it rather weird.
Was it because he had already been to Europe before?
He couldn\'t help but ponder. After all, when he got to Europe for the first time, he was similar to the players who were drawn by the beauty of the unfamiliar environment.
So why was he different?
Kaoru let out a soft nervous chuckle before responding, "Haha..., No it\'s my first time here." "Then perhaps it doesn\'t interest you?" Kenji asked curiously.
It was his first time in an unfamiliar soil. Yet still, the scenery doesn\'t pique his interest. How could that be?
"Ah..., No. Truth be told, I\'m afraid that I\'d lose my composure if I acted with too much interest. So, I\'m trying to avoid sightseeing as much as possible."
Kaoru revealed his reason for avoiding the scenery outside.
It wasn\'t that the beauty of the street outside intrigued him but it was because he was afraid that he\'d lose his composure. That\'s why he avoided looking outside.
After all, what you can\'t see, you won\'t fear.
So, he was simply afraid, huh? Now that he clarified, it made a little sense to him. Well, it\'d have been quite strange if he simply disliked the scenery outside.
Even so, it was a rather unique response.
So when he heard it he couldn\'t help but feel a little surprised.
Upon hearing his response, Kenji looked at him deeply. Since he was already mature enough by the time he left his country, he hadn\'t been such nervous.
However, it was different during his younger days.
Outwardly, you couldn\'t see any nervousness on Kaoru\'s face. But from the inside, he was extremely nervous. If not for him telling him, Kenji might have never been able to figure it
out.
But now that he heard him, he could tell that he was simply trying to put a facade to hide his nervousness. After all, it was his first official match for the country.
So, how could he not be nervous?
Then what about Hiro? How could he act so normal despite it being his first match? He even had the leisure of sightseeing.
Abruptly his gaze shifted to Hiro.
At this moment, Hiro seemed deeply absorbed in the scenery outside. Instead of nervousness,
he had excitement written all over his face.
He was like a child who had seen his favorite toy.
Then his gaze turned to look at others who were representing the country for the first time. Their expression appeared rather dark, almost as if a dark shadow was looming over their head. Some were even chewing their nails.
One could tell simply from a glance that they were nervous.
Then again, his gaze shifted to Hiro.
As realization struck him, Kenji\'s eyes widened while a cold shiver ran down his spine. Just what kind of mentality did this child possess?
It couldn\'t be ignorance for sure.
He could tell that much after interacting with him in the recent week.
\'He\'s a monster\'
He thought that he had figured out Hiro. But it seemed as if he had much to learn about him.
As for Hiro, he wasn\'t aware of the gaze that was pointed at him.
He was simply overjoyed to be here. The mix of old and new buildings, with modern shops nestled between centuries-old structures, the vibrant colors of the buildings, the greenery in the parks, and the bustling streets filled him with a sense of wonder, it all enchanted him, making him unable to take his eyes off.
