Pretence

While Hiro and Shun were enjoying this moment, Yuya on the other hand was sweating profusely. Inside the tunnel, he had been acting all fine but upon confronting the crowds, his legs had lost it's strength while his palms had become sticky with sweat. 

Those cheerful cheers were like harsh curses hauled towards him. And those cheerful fans were like onlookers who had come to see his doom.

It was probably his last chance to prove himself. If he couldn't capitalize this opportunity, his doom was inevitable and he very well knew about it. 

Which is why, he was anxious even more than before.

"Well even though you are my teammate in the national team but don't expect me to go easy on you though"

Showcasing a smirk on his face, Takumi who was currently acting as the captain of the opposing team reminded Hiro that he wouldn't go easy on him. 

"Well aren't you so considerate"

In a rather sarcastic way, Hiro replied.
