Chapter 227 Aftermath
Flashes of camera continuously illuminated for some moment, capturing the joyous moment in the reel of the cameras. Sure enough, most of those pictures were going to become the cover photo of most newspapers and magazines.
The air around the stadium right now was filled with laughter and cheers. Streamers were live streaming the joyous moment in their channel while people of all ages and background were gleaming with happiness and excitement.
Amidst the raging celebration, suddenly Hiro felt a stinging pain surfacing within his body.
Feeling the surging pain intensifying rapidly, Hiro quickly handed the trophy to one of his teammates who was closed to him.
Realisation hit him. It was the aftermath he was facing after pushing his body to his utmost limit.
His leg muscles started to convulse at an alarming rate. And the pain continued to intensify to the point that he started having difficulty standing upright.
He knew that he had to get off the stage and walk to the locker room or else he'd collapse anytime soon.
His heart started to palpitate, his complexion turned pale and out of nowhere he started to sweat profusely.
He could feel the tears in his muscle.
Even so despite the stinging pain, he tried his best to endure the sharp pain by gritting his teeths. But with every passing seconds, the pain only intensified making it even more intolerable.
It was like hundred needles were piercing him at the same time.
By collapsing on the stage or on the ground, he didn't want to ruin his teams grand celebration. Thus, he thought of an excuse to leave the pitch without raising any suspicion.
Hiro then slowly got off the pitch and walked towards manager Makoto.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeaving the pitch without telling anything would definitely raise suspicions, thus he decided to inform manager Makoto about his leave.
Although his pain was getting intolerable, he desperately tried to maintain his composure so as not to look suspicious in other's eyes.
"Sir, my stomach's really upset right... Now. So I... Have to get to the.... Toilet" mumbled Hiro with great difficulty.
Despite his effort, his voice sounded rather shaky right now.
Hearing his shaky voice, manager Makoto started developing suspicion regarding Hiro's condition. He could feel that something wasn't right with Hiro.
However since Hiro was tightly holding on to his stomach right now, he could do nothing but agree. Seeing Hiro in that situation, he couldn't bring himself to ask him any more questions.
Although not many players of his team cared about his situation right now because of all the raging celebration taking place at the moment. But far in the stand his parents noticed something off.
Furrowing her brows, Hiro's mother mumbled, "Honey, is there something wrong with our son?"
Her eyes reflecting worry and her voice sounding a little shaky, she was worried about her son's condition.
Faced with his wife's worries, Takashi squinted his eyes as he tried to figure out the situation, "The way he's holding on to his stomach, seems like something is indeed wrong"
"Let's head over there quickly" mumbled Takashi as he too started to feel worried about his son's condition.
A moment ago both of their faces displayed intense joy and pride. But right now, their emotions were replaced with worry.
The two of them without wasting any time, immediately rushed towards the direction of the stand above the tunnel to observe the situation up close.
Halfway through their destination, Hiro collapsed on the ground all of a sudden.
Seeing her son's collapsing figure, his mother let out a shrill cry as she called Hiro's name anxiously, "Hiiiiiiiirrrrrooooooo!!"
With that she became even more concerned about her son's situation. Tears started rolling down her eyes.
"Oh what's this? All of a sudden, Hiro has collapsed on the floor" announced the commentator.
He was flabbergasted by the sight of Hiro's figure which was lying on the ground, motionlessly with his face facing against the ground.
Manager Makoto who still hadn't taken his eyes off from Hiro, immediately sprinted towards Hiro.
And as he reached Hiro, he immediately lifted Hiro's fallend body as he rolled his body to let him breathe properly. Fortunately there wasn't any noticeable injuries on his head despite falling his face first.
The next moment, he shouted, "Medic!!"
Hearing manager Makoto's roar, medical personnels immediately rushed towards the direction of Hiro.
At the same time, both the crowd and the players turned silent as players of Kawasaki started rushing towards Hiro completely stopping their celebration.
Afterall how could they celebrate when their teammate was lying motionlessly on the ground right infront of their eyes?
"What happened to him?"
"Did he injure himself earlier?"
"I hope it's nothing serious"
"We can't lose such a brilliant player"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Lord please help that poor boy"
The crowd started to get anxious and restless. Some of them joined their hands together and started to pray for Hiro's wellbeing.
Some started to sob. Almost the entire stadium turned pale upon witnessing the scene unfolding infront of their eyes.
Their eyes full of nervousness darted towards the direction of Hiro.
And just like this, the once festive aura around the stadium started to turn dark and gloomy. It was like as if the clear blue sky was veiled by dark thunder clouds in an instant.
One after other, players of Kawasaki ran towards Hiro. But at that moment, Shun acted up as he prevented the players from clustering infront of Hiro.
"Don't crowd around him. You all will suffocate him" yelled Shun while furrowing his brows.
His voice a little deeper than usual sounded extremely gloomy at the moment. Sure enough, he was upset by the condition of his friend.
"He's still breathing but we need to carry him to the hospital as soon as possible" spoke one of the medic with a concerned look on his face, after feeling Hiro's pulses.
Another medic put on a oxygen mask over Hiro's face. Another kept on rubbing his foot.
Based on Hiro's body temperature which was way above normal human body temperature and Hiro's palpitating heart, they could tell that Hiro's condition although not life threatening was still somewhat serious.
At that moment, just when the medic's were about to put Hiro on the stretcher, Hiro's father came rushing towards the pitch.
Evidently he had jumped over the fences to enter the pitch.
And because of that, he was currently being chased by the security personnels.
Even so from the look on his face, it felt like he didn't a shit about their chase. All he could see right now was the figure of his son.
Apart from that nothing was important to him at the moment.
