Season End

Hiro was fascinated by Eric's proposal. After all, who could resist the temptation of playing for a top team? And Hiro who had been dreaming of playing in one of the top teams wasn't any different either. 

But even so, he had to be realistic. 

Sure, with Eric's help, he might get into a top team. But the opportunity wouldn't amount to anything if he were simply loaned out. 

Top clubs hiring talented young players and sending them on a loan wasn't anything new in the world of football. 

"It's alluring but risky at the same time," Hiro answered after pondering deeply. 

"Indeed the risk is high," Eric nodded. "But I can guarantee you, Hiro, I won't let you sink. If something happens then I'll immediately come to your aid," he added, his tone assuring. 

Most would choose the humble route where the player develops from scratch. But Eric who believed in Hiro didn't want him to waste more of his time in developing.
