My system allows me to copy talents

However Renji's options were rather limited.

The defender he had recently gotten past was right behind his tail while even more defenders were charging towards him from upfront.

Keeping position of the ball while trying to find his teammates, Renji moved the ball upfront.

The two of his team's wingers had yet to free themselves from their marks while nobody else seemed available at the moment.

'Do I have to break through on my own?'

Unable to find his teammates, a thought penetrated his mind. But just as he was about to pull the unthinkable by taking Aomori's impressive defensive line all by himself, he heard someone asking for a pass.

"Pass here"

Hiro who was getting chased by his mark had shook his mark and was rushing towards him; coming to his aid.

Immediately upon witnessing Hiro's arrival, he struck the ball with his heel while moving the ball forward. The way he operated himself made it seem like he was actually trying to break through.

But who he knew that he was going to pass?

Countless people present in the stand was mesmerized and perplexed by Renji's passing while the defenders who were rushing towards him were fooled by him as well.

The owner of the ball may have changed but their objective hadn't changed even a little— they still had to disrupt this build up and stop the opposing team from advancing forward.

Determined to stop the opposing players, no sooner had Renji made this unbelievable pass, they shifted their attention towards Hiro and rushed towards him.

But they couldn't leave Renji alone as well.

Thus while most of them rushed towards Hiro, one of them rushed towards Renji.ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

Standing tall in front of him like a massive boulder, the one who was supposed to stop Renji tried to make use of his body as a meat shield to block Renji's path.

Renji however like a slippery eel, easily got past the opposing defender who was trying to stop him from advancing forward.

The method he used to get past that massive defender was quite mesmerizing and creative as well.

Making use of his excellent footsteps as he approached close to the opposing defender, he abruptly changed his direction all of a sudden.

Or so, he made it seem. The moment the opposing defender reacted, he swiftly turned his body and made a 180 degree turn.

Smoothly executing this flashy move, he then changed his direction; tricking the defender and getting past him without breaking any sweat.

Hiro who was keeping his eyes on Renji, perfectly timed his pass as he lobbed the ball right above the heads of the incoming defenders.

During this process of making pass to Renji, Hiro was extremely careful about timing. A second's delay could end this play by ruling this build up as offside.

If it was before the time he had joined Kawasaki or if it was during the time when he was just starting to play with Hiro, he wouldn't have made this pass.

In fact he would have even tried to break through or shoot from the distance.

But having played with Hiro, he knew that if he were to position himself in a good position, he would receive the ball back with almost hundred percent certainty.

And right now as he noticed the shadow of the ball, his eyes sparkled with joy. He then smoothly trapped the ball and struck a brilliant volley before the ball could even hit the ground.

The ball as it left his feet, it sailed towards the post.

However an obstacle stood between him and the post. The obstacle was non other than the keeper of the opposing team.

Call it his arrogance or call it his confidence, right after Renji shot the ball towards the post, he took his eyes off the ball. It was like he knew with certainty that the ball would end up inside the post.

And surprisingly it did as well.

As for the confirmation, an euphoric roar erupted from the crowd.

"Goaaaalllllll!!"

Throwing his fist towards the sky with a smirk on his face, he displayed a complacent look on his face after hearing the deafening sound of celebration echoing from the stand.

Enjoying the adoration he was receiving from the crowd, without budging even an inch, he stood tall right at the place from where had scored this magnificent volley with his eyes closed, basking in the momentary glory.

And only after did his teammates come to his side did he finally opened his eyes.

Bodies collided as players of Kawasaki hugged and high-fived each other. But unlike Renji who until this moment had yet to speak anything, they were rather loud.

"Damn!! Who taught you to score like this?"

"Yeah!!"

Yelling at each other, they pushed and hugged each other while celebrating the goal. With their actions on the field, they were making quite a scene while celebrating.

Hiro on the other hand wasn't fond of such barbaric way of celebrating. Thus, he kept some distance from his teammates who right now were acting as barbaric soldiers after a victory.

Still, although he wasn't fond of such way of celebrations didn't mean that he was happy about the outcome.

He may not have expressed his happiness on his face or on his actions but albeit, he was happy about the outcome just as his teammates were about it.

Just like this before the end of the first half, they took a two goal lead.

Already the first goal was putting a lot of pressure on the opposing team but with this second goal, it would rise even a level further.

Who knows what kind of error they would make due to this pressure? Well there's also a possibility that they might succumb to the pressure and falter apart.

And with this second goal, Hiro also extended his assist tally to a whopping 13 assists in the league despite missing many of the matches because of the qualifier.
