Chapter 27: [Bonus chapter]Interview

Chatter!! Chatter!!

A huge commotion was taking place at the football ground of Ookami elementary school. Students were flocking all over the ground and storming towards the already packed football ground to become a part of the commotion.

"What's happening over there?"

One of the student pointed at the huge crowd of students gathered beside the football ground.

"I'm not sure about it, but a lot of people are standing over there holding camera's and microphones."

Another student replied.

"A little bit to the right. Move the camera a little bit to the right."

One middle aged man who was dressed in a polo t-shirt and wearing a baseball cap was giving introduction to the camera crew.

Just then principal of Ookami elementary school, Miyamoto Takumi made his appearance in the pitch, dressed in a black suit.

"Hello Mr.Miyamoto it's my pleasure to meet you."

The middle aged man stretched his hands forward to shake hands with the principal.

"Hello Mr.Suzuki. The pleasure is all mine."

The principal grabbed his hand and performed a handshake.

"First up all, I'd like to thank you for letting us interview your star player. And I must say, you've recruited quite a capable player for the nationals in your team."

"Indeed he's such an amazing player. But it's not me who scouted him, it's all thanks to the scout of our football team Sakamoto san for scouting such an amazing player that we're able to recruit such an amazing player in our team."

The principal proudly exclaimed with a smile on his face. He couldn't look more happy.

While those two mens were cheerfully conversing with each other, Hiro made his way towards the pitch in his new Adidas predator boots.

He staggeringly walked towards the pitch and seemed kinda nervous.

"Oh look! There's our main character for the show."

Suzuki san exclaimed while pointing his finger towards Hiro.

Just then another man shouted;

"Sir! We're all set to go."

"Okay wait for a bit, I'll be there in a moment. Now then will you excuse me for a while Miyamoto san."

Suzuki san hurriedly walked towards Hiro.

"Hello Hiro! How are you?"

"Oh hello Mr.Suzuki, I'm fine. Thank you for asking."

Hiro greeted him back.

"Hmm... But your face says otherwise."

"Yeah.., Honestly speaking I'm kinda nervous."

"Don't worry Hiro. We'll do it just like we've practiced early in the morning."

Hiro had skipped a few classes early in the morning to rehearse for the interview.

After conversing for a while, both of them headed towards the location where the interview was going to take place. At first they interviewed the principal of the Ookami elementary school followed by coach Miura and finally after interviewing both of them, it was his turn to get interviewed.

"It's your turn now. Don't be nervous and speak as casually as you can. If something goes wrong, we'll just redo it again. So don't stress over the interview. Best of luck."

Suzuki san tried to console him.

'Only if I could focus well on the interview, I wouldn't be so nervous.'

'Oh yeah! Why did I forget that I have a system and I have a perfect skill for a time like this.'

Due to nervousness, he completely forgot about the presence of the system.

'System, activate skill focus'

[Skill: Focus]

[Activated]

With the activation of the skill, he could no longer hear the noise coming from the crowds. He could focus better at the interview upfront and negate the feeling of nervousness.

"What? All of a sudden, he looks totally different now. There's not even a faint sign of nervousness within him. It vanished as if it wasn't even there in the first place."

Suzuki san whispered in awe.

"Action!!"

With that the host Suzume san started to interview him. Even though she was a reporter, she also hosted several reality shows for her channel.

"Hello everyone it's me Suzume, your host for the show Neighborhood celebrity. Today I'm here in the field of Ookami elementary school. It's a pretty new school, so many of you may not have heard about it. But I'm sure a lot of you people have heard about the name Soccer Wizard."

"Yes! That's right it's the same Soccer Wizard who have amassed a staggering 80K subscriber within less than 24 hours of posting his first video. The same Soccer Wizard who shocked the whole world with his soccer skills."

"Now without any further ado, let's welcome our very own Soccer Wizard, Takahashi Hiro."

As the announcer finished the introduction part, Hiro made his way towards the pitch while juggling the ball in his feet.

"That wasn't a part of the script!"

Suzuki san exclaimed in awe.

He was the producer of the show 'Neighbourhood Celebrity'.

"What should we do Suzuki san? That wasn't in the part of the script."

The director whispered.

"Let him continue"

While the filming continued, Hiro started to demonstrate his skills. Without dropping the ball, he performed around the world not once but three times in a row.

While he was demonstrating his skills with the ball, the crowds burst out in cheers and the atmosphere around the ground started to get more intense. The director didn't want to miss the intense reaction of the crowds and he filmed the whole reaction of the crowds.

Finally after demonstrating multiple skills with the ball, he kicked the ball super hard and sent it flying in the sky. The ball flew about 50 meters up in the sky and it stayed in the air for about 6 seconds. After attaining the maximum height, it began to drop with rapid velocity due to the gravity.

And as it was about to land, he stretched his legs a little forward and controlled the ball with a brilliant first touch. Whole crowds burst out in cheers upon seeing him control the ball. Everybody were mesmerized by the skills he displayed.

"Woah!! Is he even a six year old kid? What were you doing when you were six years? Do let me know in the comments. For me, I was probably playing house when I was six years."

The interview took place for a while. And occasionally they asked him to demonstrate more skills. He reluctantly agreed to their request and performed as they desired.

However Suzume san got too full of herself and began to ask him to perform even more tricks with the ball. Even so, he reluctantly agreed to her request and kept on entertaining the crowds. However the effect of the skill focus had already weared off. Somehow he was still maintaining his composure even without the skill focus.

"Many of you may not know this, but yesterday our Soccer Wizard scored five goals in the first match of the nationals for Ookami elementary school."

"And I'm sure many of you football enthusiast might be familiar with this particular school team. Not only are they dominant in high school and middle school football tournament, they are also dominant in elementary school level football tournament. Yeah! I'm talking of non other than the powerhouse football team of Tokushima prefecture; Karasuno elementary school."

"And the day after tomorrow, the team of our Soccer Wizard will be playing against that powerhouse school level football team, Karasuno elementary school."

As mentioned by the host of the show, Karasuno elementary school were dominant in every levels of school football tournament in Tokushima prefecture.

Beside Karasuno elementary school, they also had a middle school and a high school too. And in all three levels of school, their football teams were considered one of the powerhouse of the Tokushima prefecture.

"Will you come to watch our Soccer Wizard play against the mighty Karasuno elementary school. If yes then do let me know in the comments. This is Suzume, your host for the show 'Neighbourhood Celebrity' speaking from the training ground of Ookami elementary school. Thank you for watching."

Finally after almost an hour, the interview finally ended.

Taking his performance and exhaustion into account, the school decided to let him take a day off and such they called for his parents.

However both of them were busy with their works and they couldn't come to pick him up before the end of the school.

"Sorry Hiro! You're parents are busy. So I'll have to send you back to the class-"

Just then when principal Miyamoto was about to send him back to the class because of the busy schedule of his parents, Suzuki san volunteered to take care of him for the rest of the day.

"Why don't I take care of him for the rest of the day. I might need some help with editing. And I think his insights might prove useful to me."

Suzuki san exclaimed.

"I'll have to ask permission from his parents first. So give me a minute."

The principal began to dial his mother's phone number.

"She says it's okay."

The principal exclaimed.

After his mother agreed to let Suzuki san take care of him for the rest of the day, Suzuki san took him to McRonald's to get him something to eat.

He couldn't look more happy about it.
