Chapter 4: 4. The Strongest Players
The sun shined brightly over the grand stadium, where thousands of fans cheered loudly. The match everyone had waited for was about to begin. Saizu, a young player with extraordinary skills, stood on the field. His eyes sparkled with determination as he faced two of the greatest players in soccer history: Messi and Ronaldo.
The referee blew the whistle, and the match started. Saizu felt his heart beating fast. He knew that Messi and Ronaldo had experience, but he believed in his abilities. With a deep breath, he reminded himself of his powers: Impact King, Monstrous Dribbling, Gravity Control, Perfect Pass, Snake Style, and Speed of Light.
At first, things felt tough. Ronaldo, known for his strength and speed, dribbled past Saizu easily. Before Saizu could react, Ronaldo struck the ball, and it sailed into the net. The crowd roared as the score turned 1-0. Saizu felt a pang of disappointment but didn't let it crush his spirit.
Moments later, Messi took the ball and danced around the field, using his incredible footwork. He moved like he was floating on air, quickly finding a gap and scoring another goal. Now, the scoreboard showed 2-0, and Saizu knew he had to act fast. He couldn't let the heroes of soccer win so easily.
Just then, a wave of determination washed over him. He remembered the power of his Awakening. He focused his energy, and suddenly, a bright aura encircled him, filling the field with a strange light. The energy was intense, and it felt like everything changed in an instant. Saizu stood taller, stronger, and more confident.
In his mind, the system announced he had unlocked a new ability called Perfect Physique. He felt his body transform, filled with strength. Also, he received a second ability called Strongest Battle, giving him even more power in the game. With a determined smile, he thought about his plan. He asked the system to activate Strongest Battle after he scored two goals.
Now back on the field, Saizu took control of the ball. Ronaldo quickly charged at him, trying to steal the ball, but Saizu was quicker. He sprinted like a flash and easily avoided Ronaldo's attempt. Then Hyuko, another skilled player, suddenly appeared on the field, trying to block Saizu. As Hyuko approached, Saizu felt strong enough to face him. It was like crashing into a solid wall but instead of giving in, he used it to push forward even harder.
In that moment, he combined all his skills: Snake Style, Speed of Light, and Impact King. He danced past Hyuko, moving so smoothly that it seemed like he was gliding. The fans gasped as he dashed toward the goal, shooting the ball with great force. It flew past the goalie and into the net! The scoreboard changed to 2-1, and the crowd erupted in cheers.
Feeling that rush of excitement, Ronaldo, not to be outdone, decided to make a bold move. He moved back and struck the ball from the middle of the field, leaping high into the air to score another goal. Saizu watched, impressed but unfocused. The score now read 3-1.
With a rush of determination, Saizu knew he had to catch up. He remembered the unique abilities he had unlocked. As the match continued, he felt the flow of energy filling him. He could sense that the whole Universe was watching as he prepared for his next move.
Suddenly, with a burst of courage, he used Gravity Control. He leapt into the air, soaring higher than he ever thought possible. The crowd held their breath as Saizu flew above everyone, even higher than the tallest players on the field. Time seemed to stop as he floated for five seconds, using the momentum to aim carefully.
Then, combining Perfect Physique with Impact King, he struck the ball with incredible power. The ball shot off his foot like a comet, soaring into the goal. As it hit the net and the referee blew the whistle, the score changed to 3-2. Saizu couldn't believe it. He had done it!
With the match now heating up, the air felt electric, buzzing with excitement. Saizu stood in the center of the field, adrenaline coursing through him and energy surrounding him. Both Messi and Ronaldo looked on, a look of excitement mixed with surprise on their faces.
As the crowd chanted his name, Saizu felt ready for anything. He was not just a young player anymore. With every dribble and shot, he was becoming a legend in his own right. The match was far from over. He still had goals to score, battles to win, and a belief to hold onto. With Messi and Ronaldo in his sights, he knew the final moment would be nothing short of epic.
