{You have executed an unknown Football Skill: ???}
{Congratulations! Unity recognizes your talent as the creator!}
{You have been rewarded with 5,000 Experience Points!}
{Give your football skill a name!}
Instantly after the game came to an end, the game interface lit up the notification again followed by a virtual projection depicting him executing the skill.
Due to previously being engrossed in the game, Endrick was unable to react to this notification appropriately but this time, he was stunned.
'Damn, they give experience points for creating new skills?'
'Does that mean they don't know what is called a step over here?'
Instantly after he asked this question in his head, his eyes widened. 'F*ck! You can't be serious right?'
He instantly went on a mental tour through the memories of his body. 'This is still Earth but 1000 years into the future, things have changed so much that they've completely forgotten about the basics about football'.
'If they don't know the basics, what makes me think they'll know the complicated aspects like all the skills and rules of football?'
His eyes shone as a naughty grin started coming over his face. 'Hehe, this is a nice way for me to earn additional Experience Points'.
{Give your football skill a name!}
"It is called the step…" While answering, Endrick paused.
His eyes shone; he could smell an opportunity. 'In my previous life, legendary players like Ronaldo etched their names in history by perfecting and personalizing skills like the Ronaldo chop and the trivela for players like Quaresma'.
'My ultimate goal in my 2nd life is to become the G.O.A.T'.
'What better way to convince all existence of my status as the G.O.A.T in the future other than adding to my history that I created the most famous skills?'
He no longer hesitated. 'This is not shamelessness'. His face became serious. 'This is taking outmost advantage of an opportunity that I encountered'.
He looked at the virtual screen of the game interface with a serious look on his face. "I will call this football skill the Endrick step overs".
{Football Skill Name Registered:}
>Football Skill: Endrick Step Overs<
Instantly after this, the game interface lit up again with more notifications.
{You have executed an unknown Football Skill: ???}
{Congratulations! Unity recognizes your talent as the creator!}
{You have been rewarded with 5,000 Experience Points!}
{Give your football skill a name!}
This time, the virtual projection that appeared was that of the times in the game when he executed the roulette skill against opposition players.
Endrick grinned. "I will call this football skill the Endrick roulette".
{Football Skill Name Registered:}
>Football Skill: Endrick Roulette<
Endrick waited and waited yet the game interface didn't light up with more notifications, he understood. 'That means despite their limited knowledge, they still know about football skills like the nutmeg and the la croqueta'.
'I'm satisfied with what I got though'.
This sudden windfall didn't just give him experience points which was so far the best currency in Unity, but it also made him get closer to leveling up again.
{13,010/20,000XP to level up to level 7!}
Endrick was satisfied with the results of the game. 'Spending so much effort on my combat training with Legion was not wasted Afterall'.
'I hope my achievements in this game improves my chances of becoming the best player of the elite team trials'.
Despite his thoughts, he was perfectly aware that this was just the beginning, there was still the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th phase of the elite team trails.
{Game Stats: Full Time!}
{Team Brazil Best vs Team Brazilian Wall}
{Ball Possession: 73% - 27%}
{Shots on Goal: 17 - 1}
{Attacking Shots: 23 - 10}
{Total Damage Dealt: 1,285 - 89}
{Scoreline: 4 - 1}
Endrick and his teammates heaved sighs of relief on seeing the full game stats. Entering the 2nd half, one of their goals was getting more than a thousand total damage dealt since it was the criteria to judge their qualification.
After this, they went towards Coach Luiz Vicente who waited for them.
In no time, all 8 teams that played in the 2nd round battles were gathered before the Bogeyman, he had his trademark look like he was analyzing something very important on his face.
"Congratulations".
All the participants heaved sighs of relief as soon as he said this.
"You all are lucky, you won't all be eliminated". The Bogeyman smiled for the first time. "Today, I saw flashes of brilliance from some of you, I'm impressed".
"Congratulations to all 4 teams that won".
"I already explained the format. You will wait for the results of the 3rd round battles which will be played tomorrow to determine the 2 teams who progresses".
"For now, good luck".
Without hesitation, the Bogeyman and the other Coaches left.
It was after the coaches left that Anthony finally walked towards where Team Brazil Best stood, this fiery attacker still had a look on his face like he was on a battlefield, he glared at Endrick. "Good game".
"Next time, I will beat you".
Endrick smiled. "Just know I'll always give my all".
"Humph!" Anthony snorted and left.
A few minutes after that, most of the players left as they went to play Unity casually while others directly logged out of the game.
This was when Team Brazil Best finally had private time for themselves.
"Good game guys". Maria202 had a bright smile on her face. "We really performed at an elite level this match, I'm impressed and happy".
She turned to face Endrick. "Endrickdinho, how did you do it?"
Endrick smiled. "I'm a natural".
The others laughed at that except Legion of course.
After some more idle talk about their performance in the game, Pedro and Antonio60 finally logged out of Unity since they had something to do.
Maria202, Legion, and Endrick were left behind.
Endrick looked at them. "What do you think about playing together today?"
"That's an awesome idea, we need to improve our team chemistry". Maria202 was excited as she immediately answered.
Endrick briefly narrowed his eyes. 'She even knows so much about team chemistry in football'.
'Maria…, this girl's knowledge about football seems higher than the average human of this era, who is she?'
No one answered his thoughts so he turned to face Legion who simply nodded. Without hesitation, Endrick took it from here.
"I've checked the Estadio do Arruna out".
"For all the stadiums, there are special game storylines".
"From what I remember, no one have won the storyline exclusive to this stadium yet. Let's try it if we can win it, the rewards are lucrative".
"Let's do it!" Maria202 was pumped.
"…" Legion nodded.
