Chapter 465  The end of the scuffle

"Geez, youngsters these days are so hot-heated," Kenji Fujimoto said with a smile on his face, almost as if he was enjoying the show in front of him. Shouldn't you stop them instead? Hiro thought as he heard him, clearly irritated by his gesture. Yet still, he didn't say it out loud. "And, who do you think you are to desert your responsibility?"

Annoyed by his attitude of trying to act as if he was in control, Tominaga snorted as he tried to brush past him, "If you like doing it then do it yourself. You don't tell me what to do."

Adamant, Kenta stood in his way as he prevented him from walking away. His repeated attempts to stop him from leaving were only getting on his nerves, causing him to clench his fist tightly.

Gnashing his teeth, Tominaga said, "Move!" as he tried to force his way through him.

However, it didn't seem that Kenta had any intention to let him go.

If the situation persisted any further, it seemed as if a fight was inevitable.

Unable to stand back any further, Naoto who had stayed behind to help, stepped forward.

Finally, someone was willing to intervene.

"Cut it out, you two," yelled Naoto as he rushed to stop them.

The moment he stepped in, all eyes turned to look at him. His voice was like the rumbling of thunder, immediately drawing everybody's attention to him, startling some. And, by no means did Naoto appear calm.

Unlike his usual calm demeanor, he appeared extremely pissed. Even Hiro had rarely seen him so pissed.

Naoto seemed as if he wouldn't hesitate to teach both a lesson.

However, it wasn't just Naoto. No sooner had he sprung into action, Tatsuki joined as well.

As for why he joined, it wasn't to shield Naoto from the temper of the two who were causing the commotion.

But it was to save the two from the wrath of Naoto. Usually, calm and polite, one might expect him to be meek and harmless.

However, that wasn't the case. Having experienced his wrath, he knew how scary he could get at times.

So, before Naoto could get close to Kenta and Tominaga, he hurried to stop him.

"Yeah, nobody's forcing you to stay. So, just cut it out already," Tatsuki said as he rushed in between Kenta and Tominaga.

Then he looked them in the eye, before continuing, "You can leave if you want to leave."

Kenta wasn't satisfied with his statement. But he couldn't bring himself to refute. It was as if he was fighting over nothing.

Tominaga scoffed as he silently left the field after hearing him.

Then Tatsuki announced, "It's the same for all of you here. If you want to stay then stay, if not you're free to leave."

As they heard the announcement, many started leaving the field. After all, if they were not required to stay then why should they stay?

"I'd rather prefer a cold shower than remain here in this heat"

"Yeah, let's go"

Kenta could only gnash his teeth and turned to leave. He was utterly helpless.

"Hmph!"

Sneering disdainfully, he stomped his way out of the pitch.

Tatsuki could only let out a sigh.

Was it a good decision or a bad one, he couldn't tell. But at least, he prevented a scene from taking place.

The matter was settled peacefully due to Naoto and Tatsuki's intervention.

But now that more than half of the players had left the field, it'd definitely take a lot of effort to wrap up the cleanup.

Probably, it'd leave them exhausted.

And, he only realized it after seeing the number of people left on the pitch. However, it was too late for him to regret.

So, he could only choose to work more diligently to finish the task.

Amused, Hiro fixedly looked at Tatsuki, "He has such a side too?"

It was his first time seeing Tatsuki stepping up to stop a scuffle. Ironic how a troublemaker was stepping up to break a fight.

"He's gotten a lot more mature than the last time I saw him," Kenji complimented. Hearing him, Hiro could only roll his eyes in disdain to look at him. Instead of commending a youngster, it'd have been more helpful if you had decided to step up. It's not that he wasn't aware of the man before him. He was a well-respected figure in the Japanese football. So, he could have easily ended the scuffle with his reputation alone. Yet, while all those took place, he stayed behind enjoying the show. Hiro couldn't tell what was going on in his mind. He might have been ordered by the coach to not intervene in the match. But the match had already ended. So, why did he stay put even after the end of the match?

Perhaps he liked watching scuffles?

As much as Hiro knew about him, it wasn't the case. Well, it didn't matter anyway. So, he willingly gave up on thinking about it. He figured that it'd be more beneficial to focus on the matter at hand than to ponder about his reasoning. So, Hiro got back to his task, collecting the training equipment. Though he had chosen to ignore him, it wasn't the case with Kenji. He deliberately approached him, "Hey, Star-kid, does the scuffle in the team not bother you?"

'It doesn't matter whether it bothers me or not. But, I can tell for sure that it doesn't bother you at least,' Hiro scoffed inwardly as he heard him. Fighting against his urge to reply sarcastically, he spoke coldly, "I'm here to play, not to fight" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Acting as if he was impressed by his response, Kenji continued, "Woah! I guess our youngest is pretty mature for a fight like this." He paused and continued in a demeaning tone, "Or, you're just scared to stand up?"

Why was he trying to rile him up? For what purpose was he taunting him?

Hiro couldn't tell. Was it a test? Even if there was some ulterior motive behind his taunts, it did not affect Hiro.
