My Kitsune System

After echo, the whole pitch was quiet. The players stood to watch what had really happened.

They all the same questions on their minds

Had Luke scored?

Who was the person brave enough to stand and try to stop his shot?

Th whole pitch was dazzled. There was a person on the floor. While another stood.

The ball wasn't rolling into the net but it rolled out of the pitch. There was a kind shock that was spreading round the pitch.

How did he do it?

Even Coach Collins seemed more interested in the person who was able to stop Luke, than Luke who was stopped.

Dan got up to walk back to his position. He then noticed it, like the whole pitch was looking at him. They were waiting to see him limp or shout for help. But he did no such thing as he just continued to go back to his post.

Meanwhile Dan had just received a notification from the system.

Ding!!!

Host is injured. [Regeneration started]

Dan could literally feel like his muscles and bones were being stitched together. It felt like a long needle was being pierced into his skin. He wanted to shout but he decided to hold it back in and not cause a scene. The people already believed he was fine in a way… And he needed to keep it that way… He couldn't show he was any weaker than Luke so as to not be looked down upon and possibly change the fact that he didn't play well the first few minutes.

Ding!!!

[Regeneration complete]

Dan then flexed his leg muscles.

I was really able to pull it off… Dan thought as he turned to look at the score board. His team was two down. They had scored nothing. But there was still time as they could still stop the other team from adding more goals.

Dan watched as the ball was thrown by the opposing team but his teammates were able to get the ball back. His team had gone for the counter. Dan watched the game with keen observation to see where the problem was.

He had used his spirit sight to see how the energy is distributed his players and how they effectively used it.

As he watched them, he noticed that there was kind of a golden glow that was being emitted by someone outside the pitch.

The glow was subtle but it glowed just well enough for it to be seen. It was really like the glow of other people. Whose glow is usually white and then where the energy is concentrated is now blue. The more concentration the darker it is.

Dan was really surprised and really wondered who it was, it was none other than Ryan. The guy who was actually disinterested and was just here to just fulfill all righteousness.

Just as Dan looked at him, Ryan himself turned to stare back at Dan. Immediately Dan averted his eyes away. He didn't know but his senses had just kind of tingled and didn't really want to be on Ryan's bad side.

Ryan then took up his things and went into the locker room. And never came out again.

Dan was now more focused on the game as there was nothing there to distract him again.

It seemed like after what transpired between Dan and Luke, the game kind of changed in Dan's team's favor. As Dan's team had gotten a kind of moral and where able to keep the ball.

Dan acted as the captain and he controlled the defenders. Through his spirit sight he was able to prevent and stop the oncoming counters.

But then he noticed that his team was finding it difficult to actually progress and go forward… And if it continued that way the game will end up being two nil. It Dan's team at the losing end.

Dan then decided to move a bit front. He was now able to understand the flow of the game as he knew where each player would go before they left. Through his coordination from the back his team was able to score one. This made the score board two to one.

Dan's team was still a goal behind.

A draw won't be that bad. I might still be able to become the man of the match…. Dan thought.

After Dan's team scored, the whole game play had now changed, with the opposition taking more deadly counters. Some times taking shots from out the goal post. And at times barely missing the goal post by just inches.

The pressure was mounting, but Dan made sure one thing never happened….

It never got into Luke's legs and even if it did, he was always there to make sure Luke never let the shoot fly.

The time was coming to an end and they were in a deadlock now. But teams now got desperate to win.

Dan knew time wasn't really on his side he needed to do something fast. He needed to draw the game.

The ball was in his team's position now. He looked at the opponent's goal post.

I have one shot at this…

Dan took the ball and started moving toward the opponent's goal. He avoided the ball getting stolen from him. He passed it Kai the best midfielder in the second. Kai wasn't as quick footed as Ryu. But he was able to give moderate passes too.

Kai was able to dribble his way through the midfield and was now almost at the goal post of the opposition.

"Stop him!!!" Ryu could be heard shouting at the top of his voice.

The defenders began to rush Kai. As if all according to plan they had attacked Kai and forgotten one person.

It was no other person than Dan's team striker. He was left wide open. Kai had waited for this perfect moment.

Kai then let ball fly into the striker's foot. It was now only the striker only and the goal.

Nothing was in-between the striker and the goal post, that's apart from the goalkeeper.

The striker lined up the ball to shoot….

And then the striker left the ball fly….

The ball was now headed for the post….

Dan now watched in anticipation at the ball….

He watched as the goal went past the goalkeeper and was headed towards the post….

Dan then received a notification from the system….

DING!!!

Quest…..
