Chapter 243 New Skill
While all the other players were rushing towards the shower room to cool their aching body, Hiro was currently seated at the locker room all alone.
Tossing his sweat-drenched jersey aside, right now he was seated at the locker room half naked with his face facing the ceiling.
And as he sat there with his head tilted, sweat dripping from his sweaty body was creating several small puddle of sweat at the floor, dyeing the floor with his sweat.
Looking from outside, his behaviour didn't seem unusual at all. Instead it seemed like he was just resting casually while starting at the ceiling.
However right now, he wasn't actually looking at the ceiling. Instead he was looking at the holographic panel of the system which was floating above his head, right infront of his eyes.
In the holographic blue panel, currently three options were being displayed. And he had to choose one among those three.
"Great Heal, Roar of the captain and Great actor" muttered Hiro while looking at the screen.
Those were the three options available at the system shop right now.
Just as he finished muttering the name of those options, Hiro furiously stomped his feet in anger as he spoke harshly, "What the fuck? How can there not be a single useful item in the system shop. Is this system fucking joking with me"
As he spoke those words, his voice echoed like sound of thunder in the locker room.
Fortunately however nobody were present in the locker room at this moment. Otherwise they might have greatly mistaken Hiro as a madman or they'd have simply assumed that he was possessed by some kind of ghost.
As those words flew out of his mouth, suddenly he nervously swept his gaze around him as he searched for people around him.
His heart was racing while he looked around him. Sure enough, his heart was panicking after cussing so loudly without any reason.
After sweeping his gaze across the room, he wiped the sweat off of his forehead and once again leaned his head against the wall behind him.
And as he leaned his head against the wall, he released a deep sigh inturn trying to calm himself, "Phew!! I was too loud. I should be mindful of my behaviour"
Muttering such, he once again turned his focus at the system screen. Lazily rolling his eyes, he sighed helplessly.
In the system interface, three item with three different icons was being shown. While beneath the title of the items, description of the item was being shown.
One item looked like a giant cross while the second item looked like a figure of lion with it's mouth wide open and finally the third item looked like a mask with different complex emotions.
[Great Heal]
[You can instantly heal any injuries as long as it is not life threatening and as long as it is not any sort of mental injuries]
[Usage: One time use item]
'I know it's a cheat like item and I know I might regret not selecting this item. However right now I'm not injured whatsoever. And choosing this item which I can buy with 200 attribute points feels like a waste of the opportunity I have got' while reading the description of the item once again, Hiro sighed.
[Roar of the captain]
[Once consumed, you can boost the morale of your team thrice every match. However the item is applicable only for captains, meaning if you're not the captain of the team, this item is basically useless]
[Usage: Once consumed lasts until one's lifetime]
'This item is also tempting but the drawback is simply too great. Being able to boost the morale of players, it's like a wide area blessing that could turn the tide of the game. However it's only applicable when I'm the captain of the team. And I might not necessarily always be the captain of the team. Sigh!! The cons far outweighs the pros' again Hiro sighed.
[Great actor]
[Once used you can fake your emotions. Your chances of deceiving the referee's will also heighten, inturn helping you to win more fouls. However too much use of this skill will affect the effectiveness of the skill.]
[Usage: Once consumed lasts until lifetime]
'Another great skill. However it'll lose it's effectiveness eventually. So it's not very convincing either'
Sure enough he wasn't satisfied with the items shown in the system shop.
After reading the description of all the item shown in the system shop, once again, Hiro rolled his eyes toward the bottom of the screen where there was a option which could let him refresh the items of the shop at the cost of 100 attribute points.
Although every item in the shop looked tempting, right now non of them matched his needs. Sure those item if appeared in the real world, a lot of people would have gone crazy over it and spent their entire fortune to get their hands on it.
However Hiro knew that he could get even more amazing items as long as he had the system with him.
Thus after some hesitation, Hiro finally decided to give up on those current items. In hopes of getting better items, Hiro then spent 100 attribute points to refresh the items of the shop.
And as he spent his attribute points, the current items of the system got replaced by new batch of items.
"Flame shot, Lucky Escape and Eagle eye" muttered Hiro, reading the title of the items.
One item looked like a burning football which was flying while leaving behind a trail of fire, next item looked like a silhouette of person making an escape and finally the third item resembled the eye of an eagle.
[Flame shot]
[Usage: Twice per day]
[Once consumed your shooting power will increase drastically. However you'll only gain temporary boost. At most twice a day]
[Lucky escape]
[Usage: Once consumed it'll last until entire lifetime]
[Once consumed, this skill will greatly boost your mobility and dribbling, making it easier for you to escape the encirclement of opposing players. However this skill will take effect if and only if the user is surrounded by 6 or more players]
[Note: This skill won't be applicable to players who are of much higher level than the user]
'Both this skill are great. However both these skill only boost my stats temporarily. And for the second skill the requirement to activate the skill is just simply to strenuous. Sigh!! It's not like I'm gonna be surrounded by 6 or more players everytime.' Weighing the pros and cons of the displayed skills, Hiro sighed helplessly.
His eyelids turned heavy as he started getting lightheaded. A feeling of regret started gnawing upon him as he felt extremely unlucky. He had spent 100 attribute points and he hadn't gained any good skills.
Just by reading the description of this two skills, his enthusiasm had greatly diminished. And because of that he wasn't even hopeful of the next skill.
Without even reading the description of the next skills, he had already assumed that next skill would also disappoint him.
Even so he started reading the description of the final skill.
[Eagle eye]
[Usage: Once consumed lasts until lifetime]
[Once consumed, this skill will greatly enhance the vision of the user. You'll be able to locate the gaps more easily. You'll also get a bird eye view of the entire field for five seconds. However you can only use this skill thrice a match]
[Duration: 5seconds]
[Note: This is an upgradeable skill]
While reading the description of the skill, just as he neared the end, his eyes suddenly glowed with a cold light.
At the same time, his eyebrows lifted and he became alert.
Unlike the previous skills, although this skill was pretty similar to other skills, it had a upgradeable tag.
For a playmaker like him, it was the perfect skill. If used properly not only could he create himself scoring opportunities, he could also create scoring opportunities for his teammate.
Sure other skills were also tempting. Specially the second skill. For a dribbler like him, it was the perfect skill.
Who wouldn't dream of dribbling past the entire opposing team?
However that skill also had a major flaw, it couldn't be used against players who were at a much higher level than him.
Every skill and item which were displayed in the shop had it's own advantages and disadvantages.
Even though it entirely depended on the ability of the user to make use of the item and skills, some skills were just too OP.
And as such this skill which Hiro was about to choose fit completely well with his present situation. Not only will this skill increase his probability to score, it'll increase the probability of his entire team to win the match.
Thus after some pondering, Hiro choose the skill "Eagle Eye" as his reward for completing the quest, "defeat Tominaga Nijichi in the duel".
"Then eagle eye it is" mumbled Hiro while selecting his reward.
Just as he selected the skill eagle eye, he felt a warm sensation in his eyes.
