A week moves with an ultra bullet speed, it left as it came as if that particular week has been purposely fished out of the month and today, both 36 Lions and United Squad will be fighting for the third place of the local tournament while Wild Tigers and Law Enforcers will be playing the final tomorrow.
Last week result was rather incredible, unbelievable and also a tale to tell, no team on earth is sadder than 36 Lions in the last few days, losing to Wild Tigers was a tragedy for them because they have every qualities and capabilities to win this tournament but it was all crushed in the last minute, a very sad ending but it's not all over, they still have to play the third place and to not make the already sad end worse for them, they have come with a renew energy today which is both threatening and crushing.
They're ready to unleashed their anger on United Squad and destroy them once again.
Of course United Squad were also sad about the result of the event and how the situation turn over, not only did they lost the opportunity of playing the final but they are also facing the fierce and dangerous 36 Lions in the third place, it's not good at all.
Well, what were they thinking, facing Wild Tigers in the third place might even be worst because of their undefeated keeper, they have no chance. Only if they qualify to the final, they would've at least took second position but now, even the third position is not sure for them anymore.
But still, they're determined, a great determination linger in their soul, it can even be said that they're the most determined team in the world at the moment.
Law Enforcer might have luckily defeated them last week but this week is different.
'Well, is it really a lucky defeat?'
Emmy thought.
He still couldn't understand the pattern of Law Enforcer, it's as if something is off with the team, it just don't make any sense to him, he had been wondering what was off about them but he couldn't spend much time on it because he had to analyze 36 Lions every match all over again trying to find the best way to defeat them.
Wild Tigers have helped them solved one mystery in the 36 Lions tactics which is about their keeper. Emmy always wondered who's the best between 36 Lions and Wild Tigers keeper but the Tigers have made it clear that the Lions keeper is nothing but a mere decoration on the field, he only got the grace of his defenders.
So Emmy with their coach and his teammates have been plotting the best tactics to infiltrate the Lions defense but they failed, countless abilities have been used against them in the tournament but none of it was able infiltrate the Lions defense.
Teleportation, invisibility, superspeed and the likes failed in the presence of the four Lions defenders which is truly not a good sign for United Squad but still, they didn't focus on only finding a way to infiltrate their defense but they also tried to make their own defense as strong as ever so it couldn't be penetrated
They also learned that defense matters a lot against 36 Lions, their match with Wild Tigers made United Squad realized that the Lions strikers are as dangerous as the Tigers strikers, if not for their keeper, they would've been defeated because they lack great defense like that of their opponent.
United Squad have taken note of this and have worked towards it, infact, the match between 36 Lions and Wild Tigers have taught them a lot and showed them many ways to not face defeat against the Lions but failed to teach them a way to win unless they draw to a penalty shoot out which is also not an option.
Although, the Lions keeper will be useless in the penalty shoot out giving them a chance to win but they knew the Lions players will not afford to miss a penalty which is not the same for United Squad, even if the Lions keeper failed to save a penalty, one or two of United Squad will still play the ball outside.
So in one word, they've given up on the match, they're only here today to show all their might in their last match and to show 36 Lions that they're also not an easy opponent anymore, they're now a force to be feared, that's why they work on their defense.
But it's not the same for Emmy, if others and the coach have given up on winning the match, he hasn't, he's still determined to win the match and make his team be among the top three completing his quest and also fulfilling their coach's wish.
And talking of quest, the match hasn't even began before he received a quest from the system.
[New Quest Received]
[Do not be defeated in the upcoming match]
[Reward:???]
Now Emmy is really intrigued. The last time they faced 36 Lions Emmy received a failed quest that requires him to score at least a goal against the Lions which means that they cannot defeat the Lions but a goal can still be scored, he also received the same quest last week against Law Enforcer, to score at least one goal which he did. That also means they cannot defeat Law Enforcers but they can still concede goals.
And now against the Lions again, Emmy got a quest that requires him to not face defeat against the Lions, what does that mean?
The system did not ask him to win but just not to be defeated which is really tricky and more importantly, is the system simply saying 36 Lions are weaker than Law Enforcer.
'Oh no I'm going crazy.'
The quest from last week against Law Enforcer rewarded an instant level up and 20 AP which he had never received before, that's when his suspicious increased about Law Enforcer.
[Level 3]
[95/140 EXP]
He's now at the level 3 with 45 EXP away from level 4, his targeted Exp also increased by twenty after leveling up.
[{Attacking} 2AP/C5
(Shooting)> 15
(Long Heading)> 15
(Flexibility)> 15]
[{Defending} 1AP/C3
(Tackling)> 12
(Adaptation)> 12
(Defense)> 12]
All the AP was spent on two attributes, Attacking and Defending, 10 AP each on both taking them to 15 and 12 respectively. He purposely increased his Defending Attribute because Emmy would be playing as a defender in this match.
A request personally made by him.
