With every passing minute, more and more people were showing up in the venue.
For every one person who entered the venue another was spawning at the back of the queue, making the queue unshrinkable.
And for a while it seemed like the queue of people was never ending as one after other people were spawning like monsters spawning endlessly in RPG games.
Because of that, staffs working in the ticket counter were having quite a hard time dealing with that many people.
“Move your hand fast guys, we have to clear the crowd as fast as we can” a guy encouraged some people who were currently handling the tickets.
“We’re doing our best sir” cried out one of the staff member.
Although the management had expected that they’d have to deal with quite a large amount of people but even so, the current situation had far surpassed their expectations.
The reason why they hadn’t expected such a surge of people was because only about 5 or 6 thousand people had pre-booked tickets online.
And based on that information, they had at most expected about 20-30 thousand peoples.
However judging by the amount of peoples who were queued up infront of the ticket counter, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before the match was going to be sold out.
For a while seeing that many people queued up infront of the ticket counter, it really felt like that the whole 68000 capacity National Stadium was going to be houseful today.
“Aigo!! I told you that we should have left early. Look because of you we had to stand so long in the queue.”
Climbing up the stairs to get to their seat, Hiro’s mother was seen complaining while Hiro’s father was making a pitiful face.
Obviously his parents had came to the stadium to watch their son play. Afterall how could they miss such a crucial match which meant a lot for their son.
“There’s still like about an hour left for the match.” Takashi retorted in a low voice while frowning his brows.
His soft voice was almost impossible to be heard at the moment because of the loud noise coming from the stands.
That’s why Hiro’s mother who was currently walking infront of his father couldn’t even hear his voice. If she had heard his complaints, she’d have definitely scolded him or threatened him by saying, “I’ll deal you after the match” or “Wait until we get home”
However since she didn’t hear his voice, nothing bad happened to Takashi at the moment.
“Poor guy, he’s getting nagged by his wife”
Some passerby’s who were passing by them felt quite sympathetic about Takashi’s situation.
Since Hiro had gifted his parents tickets for VIP seats, there weren’t as many people as compared to ordinary pathways in the pathway they were walking right now.
Now one would question, how Hiro had managed to get VIP tickets. However the answer was rather simple. .
Because he was the Starman of his team, he had made use of his connections with the coaches and used his achievements as the bargaining chip to get the VIP tickets.
Obviously to the coaches as long as he didn’t wish for 5 or 10 VIP tickets, they could pull some string and grant him that favour.
Afterall considering Hiro’s achievements, his wish wasn’t that hard to fulfill.
Finally as the crowd of people started to diminish, Kawasaki’s bus was seen arriving at the venue.
Painted in colours of black and blue which also happened to be the colours of their jersey, a huge logo was imprinted on both side of the bus.
The sheer size of the bus was a lot bigger as compared to buses which the locals used for transportation.
Not even a single scratch or dirt smeared on the bus, Kawasaki’s bus looked really clean and luxurious.
For today’s match, Kawasaki Frontale U-18 team had borrowed the bus of the senior team.
With the arrival of the bus of Kawasaki, crowd of people present outside the stadium immediately burst into cheers as they noticed the arriving bus.
Some running towards the direction of the bus, some spreading the banner that they were carrying, every person cheered excitedly.
“Woooooo!!!”
“Go Kawasaki!!”
“All the best Hiro”
“Let the thunder rain on the stadium of Tokyo today”
“Go dolphins”
Flinging their banners and yelling at the top their voice, fans who were present outside the entrance erupted into cheers as they showed their support to the team they supported.
Compared to the cheers which Sagan Tosu U-18 received when they first made their appearance in the venue, the sound of cheers of fans right now seemed more energetic and lively.
Even reporters who were busy reporting something different, immediately stopped their actions as they all rushed towards the bus of Kawasaki.
“Finally the champions of east league who has managed to go undefeated this season have made their appearance.” Pointing towards the bus behind her, one of the reporter reported.
“With only 45 minutes left for the start of the match, Kawasaki Frontale U-18 team have finally arrived in the venue.”
Although the windows of the bus remained shut and curtains of the bus remained closed, still the commotion taking place outside the bus could be heard as clear as crystal inside the bus.
But under the gaze of manager Makoto nobody dared to lift the curtain or open the window to take a peek outside.
“Damn!! Listen to cheers of people. It’s so loud and lively.”
With his heart beating faster because of excitement, Shun excitedly spoke.
Beside him Hiro was lying soundly in his seat with his eyes shut. As if the commotion taking place outside the bus didn’t interest him, Hiro showed no reaction despite hearing the loud cheers of the fans outside.
Currently even in this chaotic environment, he was contemplating about something else.
Yesterday night, he had received a sudden quest from the system.
‘Score a perfect hattrick’ pondered Hiro with his eyes closed as he thought of the title of the quest.
‘To do that I’d need to score a goal each from my left and right foot and also a goal from header.’
