Announcement Continues

Though Kaoru's performance had been rather impressive, Hiro held some doubts regarding his selection previously. But at this moment, he felt genuinely happy for him.

A subtle smile adorned his visage as he heard the announcement. 

'So, you've made it' 

He thought while looking at him. 

Kaoru on the other hand had a look of disbelief on his face. It appeared that he was having trouble processing the news. 

However, it wasn't just him who had the look of disbelief. Many other players on the field were equally stunned at the announcement. 

Just how did he get selected?

Sure, his performance had been impressive. But he was already nearing his thirties. In this generation of fast-paced games, he paled. 

Though his defending seemed rather impeccable, he was slow and inflexible. 

So against all those speedy ball-playing defenders, how did this old man come out on top?
