Flames of determination

The more Shun heard about Hiro's words, the more his brows frowned. The smile on his face slowly faded away and his expression turned solemn.

Hiro's words run amuck inside his head, making him forget about the joy of victory he was feeling a moment ago.

Lost in deep thoughts, he couldn't even bring himself to deny Hiro's words. Afterall the words spewed out of Hiro's mouth were all true facts and no matter how much he wanted to deny them, he couldn't.

Hiro's words were like quicksand, gradually dragging him inside.

Whirlpool of thoughts started to appear inside his head as he kept thinking, 'It totally makes sense. We've barely qualified for the worldcup. Our struggle only begins now'

Finally he realised how much of an ignorant he had been. He and his other teammates were blinded by their superficial victory.

Their hardship hadn't finished. Infact it had only started.
