Jaegar's passion for the sport was rekindled as he witnessed the mesmerizing display of players using magic on the field. The memories of his school days flooded back, and the desire to play once again burned within him. Turning to his newfound friend, Pierre, he asked eagerly, "Does our group have a soccer team too? Can we join them?"
Pierre, sharing in Jaegar's excitement, led him to their group's chambers, where they met the senior members of the Dracanores soccer team. Among them was Parker, the team's skilled and seasoned captain, whom Pierre already knew. He saw potential in Jaegar and decided to give him a chance to try out for the team.
Later that evening, they gathered on the field for Jaegar's tryout. He donned his soccer attire, ready to prove himself once more. The rule for the tryout was simple - no spells or buffs would be used; Parker wanted to gauge Jaegar's natural talent and abilities.
As the match began, Parker led the ball skillfully across the field, and Jaegar, with determination in his eyes, sprinted after it. With every step, he felt his body surge with new found power. He ran a few meters, adjusting to his body.
In a swift display of agility, Jaegar managed to intercept the ball from Parker's possession. He surprised everyone with his speed as he dashed towards the goal area. The onlookers held their breath as he approached, his mind focused solely on the target.
Without a moment's hesitation, Jaegar unleashed a powerful kick, and the ball soared through the air with incredible force, leaving behind a trail of dust. It tore through the net, leaving the spectators in awe as it continued its flight, disappearing into the distance.
He stood there, watching the ball disappear through the net. Looking down at his legs, his confusion grew. He didn't recall him being this agile or powerful.
Pierre and all the others stood with mouths wide open at the miracle shot of Jaegar. It hasn't even been a few minutes, he had already taken the ball, scored the goal, and kicked it very far away.
The cheers erupted from his fellow teammates, impressed by Jaegar's skill and raw talent. Parker himself couldn't help but nod in approval, recognizing the potential in the young newcomer.
As the tryout continued, Jaegar showcased a myriad of impressive moves and techniques, captivating everyone with his natural abilities. His passion for the game and his years of experience in his past life shone through, making him a formidable contender on the field.
Parker was extremely happy that he had arranged for a celebration in their dorm hall. Amidst the celebration in the group dorms, Jaegar's name was on everyone's lips, praised for the astounding level of skill he showcased on the soccer field.
Parker, the team captain, couldn't contain his happiness, knowing they had found a powerful striker that could turn their team's fate around. They had often been at the bottom of the scoreboard, struggling to score a single point, but with Jaegar's arrival, things were looking up.
As the night continued, Jaegar and Pierre found themselves sitting together near a table. Pierre couldn't help but ask Jaegar once again, "Come on, Jaegar, you used some kind of spell, didn't you? It's just not possible for us to be physically stronger without any help, and I clearly saw that your kick has so much power behind it."
"Well, if you are from the imperial family, then it might be possible."
Jaegar became curious at the mention of imperials. He asked, "What about them?"
"It's said that imperial family members have a rare bloodline that makes them physically stronger than normal wizards. It was said that they shared the blood of the gods. That is why they have been in power since ancient times."
"I know only a little. There are few records available about the imperial family."
"I am sure you are not one of them," Pierre laughed.
Jaegar chuckled and shook his head, assuring his friend, "I swear, Pierre, I didn't use any spells. I played with all my skills. I don't know a single spell for buffing, believe me. It was all me."
Pierre sighed, reluctantly dropping the topic, and said, "Alright, alright, let's leave it at that. Anyway, you made it to the team, and that's what matters. This is the first time a freshman has made it to the team, and everyone's attention is on you."
Their conversation was briefly interrupted when Pierre hurriedly mentioned, "Jaegar, 9:00 clock."
Jaegar turned his head slowly to the left, following Pierre's gaze, and spotted Jennifer, accompanied by two other girls. Pierre raised an eyebrow and whispered, "Looks like Jennifer's bringing in some flowers. Wonder what they're up to?" Jaegar shrugged, his curiosity piqued, and replied, "I guess we'll find out."
Jennifer and the two other girls were probably her friends. Jaegar smiled at them, acknowledging their presence. Jennifer's eyes sparkled with admiration and excitement as she walked over to join them. The other girls seemed just as intrigued by Jaegar's prowess on the field.
Seeing that They weren't paying attention to him, Pierre excluded himself, trying his luck somewhere else. He left without making a sound, not even feeling a little disheartened. He feels like there are plenty of fish out there.
They chatted animatedly about the thrilling match and Jaegar's incredible performance. Jennifer congratulated him, saying, "You were absolutely amazing out there, Jaegar! I've never seen someone play like that without using any spells or buffs. You're truly something special."
Jaegar humbly replied, "I just played like I always do."
