The medic’s came rushing towards the pitch while carrying their medical equipments as soon as they heard the call of Hiro.
While the medic’s were rushing towards the location where Tomoyasu was lying, manager Makoto too rushed towards the location where Tomoyasu was lying with a concerned look on his face.
And since he couldn’t step inside the pitch, he rushed towards the spot while running along the sidelines.
Arriving at the spot where Tomoyasu was lying while writhing in pain, the medic’s began to examine Tomoyasu.
Quickly placing a oxygen rebreather mask over the face of Tomoyasu, they began to undress Tomoyasu’s upper body.
And just as they lifted Tomoyasu’s t-shirt, they found a blue patch bruised mark at the left side of his chest.
Upon witnessing the bruised mark on Tomoyasu’s chest, Hiro made a painful expression and tried to look away, “Shhhhhhh-“
“It looks serious.” Mumbled one of the medic while examining the bruised mark.
“Yeah!! I just hope that he hasn’t broken any bones.” Replied the other medic. “We need to take him to the hospital ASAP”
The medic’s then began to position the stretcher to relocate Tomoyasu on the stretcher.
While they were positioning the stretcher, manager Makoto too arrived at the scene. Although he was still quite far from the scene, he could tell that something wasn’t right. From outside the pitch, just beside the goalpost, manager Makoto yelled sounding all concerned, “Is everything alright? Is he fine?”
The medic’s shook their head and shifted their attention towards Tomoyasu. They then placed Tomoyasu on the stretcher and carried him out of the pitch.
Following the medics, manager Makoto too rushed towards his bench.
“Poor boy!! It looks very serious.” Making a pitiful face, one of the fans of Kawasaki mumbled.
“That jersey number 7 boy from FC Tokyo played dirty. Why didn’t the referee show him red card?” An old geezer grumpily mumbled while expressing his dissatisfaction.
“I just hope that he can play again. God please protect that kid.” A lady probably in her fourties prayed while joining her hands.
[Tomoyasu Hamasaki, goalkeeper of Kawasaki seems like in a serious condition. The medics are carrying him out of the pitch in the stretcher.]
Hurriedly rushing outside of the pitch while carrying Tomoyasu, one of the medic hurriedly spoke while looking at manager Makoto, “Sir!! We need to rush him to the hospital.”
Hearing the medic’s words, manager Makoto felt like the sky had fallen upon him. Suddenly his legs turned weak and he nearly fell down.
However at the last moment he mustered the strength in his legs and stopped himself from falling down.
[It seems like the injury is rather very serious. The medics are rushing Tomoyasu out of the stadium.] Looking at the sight of the medics leaving the stadium, commentator commented.
[Let us all pray that he recovers as soon as possible. But despite the injury, the match must go on. So what will manager Makoto do now? He has no choice but to send out another keeper.]
Although he was feeling extremely terrible, manager Makoto still had his job to do. And thus, he couldn’t let the injury of Tomoyasu to get over his head and continue to act depressed.
Manager Makoto then slowly walked towards his team’s bench where the substitutes were sitting.
“Shun you’re up.” Mumbled Makoto while looking at the pitch.
Shun quickly stood from his seat and put on his gloves. With a mixed feeling of anger, excitement and sadness, Shun walked towards manager Makoto.
“Just play safe and defend the goal. Also tell everyone to shift to their original formation.” Whispering the tactics in Shun’s ear, manager Makoto gave Shun a gentle push, “Don’t let your anger control you.”
After that one of the assistant referee rose his substitution board to indicate the player change.
[Player change for Kawasaki. Replacing the injured Tomoyasu, newcomer Shun Yabuzoe is making his way towards the pitch] Announced the commentator.
Touching the grass of the pitch, Shun then rushed towards the goal-post.
While extending his hands, Hiro mumbled, “Although it’s unfortunate to lose senior Tomoyasu, still congratulations my friend for your debut.”
Smack!!
Gently striking Hiro’s extended hand, Shun replied while rushing towards the post, “Thank you my friend.”
With the arrival of Shun, player of FC Tokyo began to scatter around.
And before preparing to take the freekick, Shun called out some of his teammates and parroted the tactics mentioned by manager Makoto.
Those players then spread the news to other players.
[Although it’s quite sad to lose an important player at this moment, but what can we do, the match must go on.]
Placing the ball at the freekick spot, Shun looked at his teammates who were scattered all over the pitch. Waiting for the referee’s whistle, he calmly analysed the situation on the field.
While Shun was analysing the field, the commentator made his comment, [Now what will this new keeper do? Will he able to protect his goal like Tomoyasu did? Or will he crumble because of the pressure?]
Just then the referee blew his whistle and resumed the match. 𝓇𝘦𝑎.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Beep!!
Hearing the referee’s whistle, Shun hit the ball hard. Instead of passing it to his teammates who were nearby, he sent the ball flying over the other side of the pitch.
[The newbie keeper of Kawasaki has sent the ball flying. And it’s heading directly towards the opposing defensive third.]
And just as Shun kicked the ball hard, Hiro heard the notification of the system.
[New quest unlocked]

‘A quest at this moment?’ While making his run, Hiro thought. ‘But even if you didn’t provide me with this quest. I was already planning on doing that.’
‘Because I know that foul was intentional. Tsubasa intentionally delayed his jump to match the timing with Tomoyasu’s jump.’
Taking a quick peek at Tsubasa, Hiro made his run towards the direction of the ball.
