My system allows me to copy talents

125 Tryout for new players

As if they were struck by lightning, most players were utterly shocked to hear the announcement of the trial.

While striking his chin, Naoto mumbled, “I have been wondering about the trial. And like previous year I thought it was postponed this year too.”

“Will we see someone as impressive as Hiro from this trial? I just want another talented midfielder or winger to supply me with crosses.” Feeling all excited, Tatsuki commented.

Hearing Tatsuki’s illogical comments which made no sense, Naoto shook his head and suggested, “We need a defender right now. May be a fullback with good pace.”

“We already have Shunsuke Hayashi, Umi Kajisa and Akimasa Nakahara. With those three in the defence even Leandro will have a hard time. But our midfield, it’s mainly controlled by Kazuya and Hiro. So we definitely need a midfielder right now.” Tatsuki presented his own suggestion which greatly contradicted to Naoto’s suggestion.

And as such, those two began to argue with each other.

While they were arguing with each other, Hiro was wondering about something else.

“I just have one question though?” Hiro mumbled while looking at Naoto.

“Ask??” Turning his gaze towards Hiro, Naoto nodded his head and gestured him to ask his question.

“Since I didn’t attend trial with other players and also since it’s an open trial, I was wondering if the trials will be held separately for U-15 and U-18 team. Or will it be held jointly?”

“Obviously it’ll be held separately. Aferall how can U-15 kids compete against U-18 players. Obviously you’re not included among those kids.” Naoto calmly answered his question.

Staring at Hiro with his gleaming black eyes, Tatsuki nodded his head and intoned, “Yeah. You’re a monster. The picture of you dribbling an entire line of defense by yourself when we faced against Fuji high school is still vivid in my eyes.”

“Indeed not to mention your unbelievable 40 yard freekick against Koshu high school. For a moment I thought that I was seeing David Beckham.” Naoto added.

After joining the U-18 team, he had played in four friendly matches altogether. And in all those matches, he had contributed to the team by either scoring a goal or delivering an assist.

Although all those four teams were complete amateur teams, still after watching him play, no one could dare to point a finger on his talent.

At around 9 AM, new players started showing at the youth facility. Players of different shapes, sizes and appearance started to flock towards the youth facility.

Some alone, some with friends and some accompanied by their parents, new players made their way towards the pitch one after the other.

Hiro who was seated infront of the window of his room was curiously looking at the players entering from the main gate.

Standing beside Hiro, Shun was also curiosly looking at the new players who were making their way towards their respective pitch.

Players who had came for U-15 trials were heading towards the U-15 pitch. And similarly the players who had came for U-18 trials were heading towards the U-18 pitch as well.

And not only players, but a few local reporters were also making their way inside the youth facility holding camera and microphones.

Since the coach’s had advised them to stay in the building during the trial, almost all the players were either in their room peeking at the new players or playing game or sleeping at the moment of trial.

And coach’s had specially warned Tatsuki, Naoto and Kazuya from making their appearance towards the pitch. Since they had already debuted for the senior team, the coach’s were well aware of the reporters who were tailing them.

New players continued to show one after the other. And soon the ground become so crowded that it looked like there were almost more than 150 players in the pitch.

Seeing that many people, Hiro shook his head and rubbed his eyes. He then with a look of astonishment questioned Shun, “Did you also compete against this many players?”

“Not that many.” Shun drawled

Since he was totally immersed in the event unfolding infront of him, Shun didn’t notice the look of awe in Hiro’s face.

“Damn!! It might take whole day to evaluate this many players.” Turning his gaze towards the players, once again, Hiro mumbled.

“It’ll be over in at most 4 hours.” Shun replied casually.

“That soon!! How??” Hiro mumbled in great surprise.

“First there’ll be a test to test their physicality, after that they’ll test their skills and only after passing those two tests, they’ll get to the third round. And the third round is a match.” Shun replied.

“Damn!! That many tests?” Hiro questioned with a look of surprise on his face.

“There’s also interview.” Shun added.

Knock!! Knock!!

And as the two of them were talking with each while, looking at the new players in the pitch, suddenly they heard a knocking sound coming from their door.

“It’s me Yuya. Open the door.” Shouted Yuya from behind the door.

“Did you call him?” Asked Hiro while looking at Shun after hearing the voice of Yuya.

“No” Shun shook his head.

‘Then why is he here?’ Wondering such, Hiro walked towards the door and unlocked the door.

And as soon as he unlocked the door, he found Yuya with a wide grin on his face, infront of his door. As if he was about to do something sinister, Hiro didn’t like the smile on Yuya’s face. Shunta was also tagging along.

“Let’s go and watch the trial, up close.” Excitedly spoke Yuya.

Yuya was planning on sneaking at the ground to spectate the trial, up close.

“Let’s go.” Shun immediately agreed to Yuya’s proposal.

Hiro however was a bit hesitant to go with them, since the coach’s had sternly advised them to stay inside the building. And he was somewhat afraid of breaking the rule. But he was also curious about the trial.

Thus out of curiosity he spoke hesitantly, “But what if the coach finds out?”

“Just disguise yourself and mix with the spectators. There are so many spectators that coach’s wouldn’t even notice us. Hahahaha…. Isn’t my plan perfect.” Laughing maniacally, Yuya explained his simple plan.．
