I am a freeloader in the anime world

"Watanabe, your performance today was truly amazing."

Hayato Hayama walked slowly to the side of Watanabe Itsuki with a sincere smile. His tone revealed a hint of self-mockery and was full of deep admiration for Watanabe Itsuki.

Hayato Hayama's eyes were as bright as torches, flashing with enthusiastic praise for Watanabe Itsuki's outstanding performance. "I lost this match with a sincere heart. Your strength is truly amazing!"

"Ye Shan, please don't say that. Our victory today was more due to the tacit understanding and cooperation of the team, as well as our concentration and enthusiasm for the game."

After hearing this, Watanabe Shu quickly shook his head and responded humbly.

"Of course, we are also blessed by luck, but this does not mean that our strength is superior to yours. Everyone has his or her own shining points, and we should learn from each other and make progress together."

Watanabe Shu's words are full of humility and sincerity, which makes people feel his broad mind and deep friendship with his teammates.

It was as if the person who had felt inferior and wanted to quit the service club before was not him, Watanabe Itsuki.

"Okay, Watanabe, don't be so modest. Losing is losing. I'm not one of those people who can't stand losing. Okay, I'm leaving first. I have something to do at home. See you tomorrow."

Hayato Hayama changed his clothes first. He put the dirty jersey into the bag he brought with him, patted Watanabe Itsuki on the shoulder, said goodbye and left the football club's lounge.

"See you tomorrow!"

After saying goodbye to Hayato Hayama, Watanabe Itsuki quickly packed his personal belongings and prepared to leave the lounge.

His movements were quick and methodical, showing his usual efficiency and self-discipline.

Just as he packed the last item and was about to step out of the lounge, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the corridor, breaking the original tranquility in the lounge.

Then, the door was gently pushed open, and a student of the same grade walked in with an anxious look.

His arrival seemed to bring a breath of fresh air, instantly breaking the silence in the lounge and injecting a bit of vitality into this small space.

Watanabe Shu looked up and saw a hint of anxiety in his classmate's eyes, as if there was something important that he needed to tell him.

So, Watanabe Itsuki stopped what he was doing, greeted the football club member of the same grade with a smile, and prepared to listen to the message he brought.

"Watanabe, don't leave yet. A senior student wants to talk to you. He said he has something to tell you."

After the student of the same grade finished speaking, he turned his head and pointed to the door of the lounge. At this moment, there was indeed a person leaning against the wall outside the door.

"what?"

When Watanabe Shu heard what his classmates said, he felt a little confused.

Watanabe Shu looked in the direction his classmate pointed, and saw Nakajima Yuto standing at the door, waving at him expressionlessly, as if there was something important that needed to be discussed in private.

There was no extra expression on Nakajima Yuto's face, but his eyes revealed a hint of seriousness and expectation.

Although his action was simple, it was enough to make Watanabe Shu feel a sense of urgency that could not be ignored.

Hey, Nakajima Yuto-senpai?

When Watanabe Itsuki's eyes met Nakajima Yuto's, his heart skipped a beat, as if he was hit by an unexpected electric current.

Nakajima Yuto, this name is well-known in the football club. He is a member of the senior school team. However, he is not famous for his outstanding football skills and calm mind, but for his bad reputation.

Among the eleven players selected for the school team, Yuto Nakajima can be said to be the least popular one.

He always keeps a certain distance from the younger members and likes to act like a senior to the freshmen.

Moreover, in the daily activities of the football club, Yuto Nakajima seldom communicates with the freshmen. He always stays in his own circle. Moreover, he likes to bully the first-year freshmen, which makes him have a bad reputation among the first-year freshmen.

Watanabe Shu took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and then walked towards Nakajima Yuto with firm steps.

There was a hint of fear in Watanabe Itsuki's eyes.

Especially not long ago, after Chosokabe of the football club promoted Hayato Hayama to the starting substitute, Nakajima Yuto had an argument with Chosokabe, and even almost attacked Hayato Hayama, but was stopped by Chosokabe.

On the day when Hayato Hayama and Yuto Nakajima had a fierce conflict, Watanabe Itsuki happened to be there. He witnessed the scene and was also frightened to the point of his heart beating faster.

Although the conflict was stopped by Chosokabe, it was still too serious and the football club's coach also arrived. In the end, Hayato Hayama and Yuto Nakajima were both called away by the coach.

Then, the next day, shocking news spread throughout the school. Nakajima Yuto, the student known for his arrogance, unexpectedly apologized to Hayato Hayama on the radio in the school broadcasting room.

This move immediately attracted the attention and discussion of the first-year members of the football department.

Many people expressed disbelief. After all, Nakajima Yuto had always been the model of arrogance and pretentiousness in their minds, but now he had lowered his proud head for Hayama Hayato.

As a bystander, Watanabe Itsuki was also confused by this scene.

He didn't understand why the usually arrogant Nakajima Yuto would make such a solemn apology to Hayama Hayato.

This mystery lingered in his mind, making him full of curiosity and confusion about the matter, but it was obvious that neither of the two parties had explained the reason.

Watanabe Shu knew that since that incident, Nakajima Yuto's attitude towards all the freshmen in the soccer club had changed significantly. His eyes were less enthusiastic and friendly than before, and more indifferent and distant.

The look in Nakajima Yuto's eyes when he looked at the first-year students was no longer cold. In his eyes, an insurmountable layer of frost condensed, and the flame of anger burned in it. Every moment when their eyes met, it seemed to carry a cold thorn, making people dare not approach easily.

Watanabe Shu walked to the door of the lounge, stopped, adjusted his breathing, and made his expression appear particularly respectful.

Afterwards, Watanabe Shu walked out of the lounge door, his eyes fell directly on Nakajima Yuto outside the door. He bowed his head slightly and asked respectfully: "Nakajima-senpai, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Nakajima Yuto glanced at Watanabe Itsuki, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, as well as a hint of excitement at the imminent revenge.

"Watanabe, right? Haha, just follow me." Nakajima Yuto said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Nakajima Yuto didn't wait for Watanabe Itsuki to answer and walked ahead on his own.

It seemed as if he didn't care whether Watanabe Itsuki would catch up or not, or rather, Nakajima Yuto was not afraid that Watanabe Itsuki would not catch up.
