My Kitsune System

Dan now stared at the quest.

Now this isn't an easy quest Dan thought to himself.

He then raised his head to look at the score board and he noticed that his team was already one goal down.

He knew that the task of winning the game would be no easy one. All he wanted to do at the beginning was just to make sure he wasn't a meme for the rest of the school year and the years after that will come.

Yes, winning the game would, actually get me in good position and not to be looked down on but can I really do that?

Dan thought to himself as he was watched his team play and go for the counter.

It wasn't that his team wasn't good. But he noticed that they didn't have much coordination as the other team.

While his team lacked coordination, the other team's chemistry was unmatched rather.

Dan just stared as he watched his team lost the ball.

And now the opposing team was coming for a counter. They weren't just passing and coming. The first team looked like a bulldozer as the pushed their way into Dan's defense.

And leading the charge was none other than Luke.

Luke was no ordinary striker, but he was built different.

He had the muscle mass of an athlete. His legs were well grounded to the floor and he couldn't easily be moved.

He played as the nine for the team.

Apart from Luke's massive body and over bearing strength. Luke's shots were literally out of this world. He always scored top bins…. He never fancied ground balls but air balls…. And his shots always carried a kind of powerful force with it.

It would be better for someone to actually take a punch from him than a kick. As that kick would leave you with some broken bones.

Dan watched as the first team. Presently the ball was with Luke. But then he passed it to the team's best midfielder…. which was Ryu.

Ryu was not really built but was actually different from Luke. He didn't have Luke's strength or power shot but he made up for it elsewhere….

He made up for the lack of strength with his skills. He is what people would call a trickster.

He was too light on his feet. The motions of his feet were to fast for anyone to follow and so made it impossible for defenders to be able to stop.

Ryu passes the mid-field, down to the eighteen-yard box with ease.

Also, his passers are laser guided; they actually never fail to meet their target.

From the middle of the field, he can give passes and crosses that will land straight in the foot of the attacker whilst the attacker is in eighteen-yard box.

His passes never miss.

As the ball was in Ryu's foot, he could already see Luke making around trying to cut through the center.

He stood and he watched well… Ryu had already lined up the ball for a pass.

Dan knew who the ball was going to head too.

It was no other than the nine himself.

I just need to stand before him as he tries to trap the ball as the ball is coming from above… If I am able to block his path, he won't see a path to goal and he will have to pass back. Dan thought to himself as he waited for Ryu to release the ball.

And then Ryu did… the ball was now on air and it was spinning. The ball cut through everyone on the field and was heading towards the heavy player on the pitch.

As the ball was still on air with Luke yet to trap the ball. Dan ran in to block his sight on goal.

Dan was now almost in front of Luke and the ball was still on air.

Luke tilted his body to the right. His right foot was bearing all the weight of his body.

And then….

BOOM!!!!

There was a loud sound in the field. Like a gunshot it had sent an echo round the field.

And before Dan the ball was no more. The loud sound wasn't the sound of something actually blowing up… but it was the ball.

Luke had shot the ball with so much power that the sound had echoed.

No one really saw the ball move but all they knew was…

The ball was now rolling in the net….

The goal keeper made no attempt…

In fact, who in their right senses would attempt to hold that…

Dan just stood and looked at the ball in the net and the man who had shot it...

is there really a way to beat them? Dan thought…

And then a light bulb shone on his head….

"The system is an option" Dan thought.

But he didn't feel right to have to use the system to play the match or win the game. As a person with morals, he felt that morally wrong.

I don't want to cheat my way to a victory. But then am I really cheating when the starts I got was acquired through hard work?  Dan questioned himself within his heart.

He didn't want to cheat but was it really cheating though….

His tam had now already passed the ball and tried to keep possession.

Dan's team's passes weren't really the best but it still reached its destination.

His team played well for a while till they didn't….

They had now lost the ball and the opponents rushed down for a counter.

The ball was immediately passed to Ryu and like the wind he cut through Dan's midfield.

Ryu and Luke now rushed down the field. They were headed for Dan and the other defenders. Dan knew he was no match for them in terms of strength, speed or agility….

Or was he?...

Just this once… this once… Dan whispered in his heart.

Dan then opened up the system and once again his stat popped up.

[Attributes]

 - Strength: 12 (+2)

- Speed: 11 (+2)

 - Agility: 15 (+2)

 - Intelligence: 14

- Spirit: 18

He looked at the stat and the option to level up his stat. He hesitated for a bit but then he decided to pick the yes option.

With immediate effect he felt his stat change. He felt a new kind of energy stream through his body… while his stat then changed to

[Attributes]

 - Strength: 14

- Speed: 13

 - Agility: 17

 - Intelligence: 14

- Spirit: 18

Dan watched as Ryu approached with the ball. He knew Ryu would pass the ball to Luke… but the problem was when…

Ding!!!

Dan had just received a system notification. He knew he didn't have time to be checking the systems notification. But then why would it send him a notification now… what if it's important?

His curiosity got the best of him and he decided to open it…

The system had sent him a message asking him if wanted to activate Spirit sight.

Would it help me though? Dan wondered.

He knew he needed all the help he could get. And so, he agreed…

Immediately the ay he saw the world change. The colors were more vibrant now… He could see things far clearer… His eyes had also changed too… They now had a kind of glow to them… an Amber kind of glow…

But not only did the color of his eyes change, it brought with it something else completely…

Dan could now see the flow of energy of people… And at the center he could see their energy gathered there.

As he decided to look around, he noticed that for Ryu… his energy was evenly spread between his both feet and his various parts of his body.

While that of that of Luke was heavily condensed at his feet…

Dan also noticed that anytime anyone wants to hit the ball, energy is gathered at the feet the person wants to use…

To test his theory, he watched kindly to notice that energy gathered on Ryu's right leg before he knocked the pass another defender…

And now he was steadily approaching the goal… Ryu's left foot began gathering energy and with the kind of amount that was being gathered….

It only meant one thing….

A pass is going to bed made…

Dan followed Ryu's line of sight to see Luke on the move…

Dan needed to move so he could get there in time…

He needed to intercept the ball before it reaches Luke's foot and it's the shot…

Ryu released the ball…

The spun through the field heading Luke…

Though Dan was faster now… the ball was still faster than him…

I may not be able to reach the ball in time but… I should be able to reach you in time Dan said in heart as he changed his trajectory and headed for Luke…

As the ball was about reaching Luke Dan was already upon him…

Dan watched Luke as he saw the ball got into Luke's foot.

Luke's energy was now gathered in his right foot…

Yes, I see it now….

Dan had now gotten close and stretched his foot…

BOOM!!!!

There was a resounding echo.
