Izan looking at the rewards asked the system, "Hey max,what are the effects of the growth potion".
"Ding"[the growth potion stimulates host's latent growth and helps host's muscles and body evolve. This helps the host avoid any career ending injuries and also helps the host to use his body easily]
Izan stared a bit thinking about the growth potion. Especially the part were it helps him avoid career ending injuries. He thought if he had an injury immunity whiles playing exceptionally,he'd be a valuable asset to any club.
"Max, how can I maximise the effects of the of the growth drug". Izan asked not wanting to misappropriate the drug .
"[Host should consume the drug after training]"
Izan who had just been out of an intense match decided to consume the potion. He open the tab and clicked on the growth potion which materialised in the form of a blue can. Izan stared a bit at it before consuming it.
He felt a tinge run through his body. Nothing happened after that occurred so he decided to go outside but then he fell to the ground, his body was still as if he had been electrified. Izan felt a sudden pain flash through his brain.
He desisted from voicing out the pain. He could feel his muscles being torn apart and stitched together. His veins shimmered with a blue colour.
After about a minute, Izan finally came to his senses. He felt a gooey form of sweat on his body. He lied down for a bit before he stood up.
When he stood,he saw that his eye level had risen a bit." I think I've gotten taller" Izan said with a grin. Izan left the washroom not wanting to waste anymore time. He decided to go and wash off the gooey liquid from his body.
"Next time let's do it at home . I felt like I was gonna die" Izan said as he had exited the washroom. Just then, "Oh wow did someone die in here" a person who had just entered said. The smell the gooey liquid from Izan's body gave off was really unpleasant. Whiles Izan was in the locker room bath.
The players came in and also took their baths. After Izan finished he came out, a lot of his mates were staring at him. "Damn looks,talent and height, say Izan do you have a girlfriend" Juan with a towel on his shoulder asked. "Hey look at him of course he might have one or two" Gaia said.
"No I don't" Izan said with a smile. "Really" , some of his teammates asked. "You guys forget I'm only 14 " Izan said earning a bit of stares from the players at the sudden realisation that Izan was young. "Leave the kid alone" Mark montes the team captain said. Izan neared him and asked "Mark , who is the best player here".
"No doubt it's Pietro but he's injured so, I think right now its Andranik, Mark said pointing to a blonde haired boy. "Together with pietro,they've both been called up to the senior team before" Mark said.Izan didn't waste any time and used the snooping tool on him

Izan saw that aside from speed, Andranik had his stats a bit better than his but that was not gonna last long since he got a bit of stat points from the match they just played
After Andranik, Izan used the snooping function on the team and saw that most of players in the team had an overall rating of 61-64 with him and Andranik being the only exception with 65 and 66 respectively.
"Pietro must have a rating of 68 or 69, or he might be in the early 70s since he has played a few matches for the senior team" Izan thoughts as he stood there.
"So I at least need to have a minimum overall rating of 68 to play for the senior team" Izan stood contemplating.
"Well lets hurry up and get that overall up" murmured Izan."Did you say something" Mark who was near Izan asked. "Uh no" Izan replied.
"So coach said we will be here for training tomorrow before the match" Mark said to Izan who nodded.
Izan packed his bag and headed out. He took a bus this time as he had told his mom not to pick up regularly. Izan arrived at his stop and walked home since it was a few minutes walk.
"I'm home" Izan said as he got inside. He removed his shoes and put them on the rack.
As he was going upstairs,he saw an unfamiliar face sitting with his sister. Izan just looked at the girl who was sitting by his sister. "Guess she also has friends " Izan murmured he knew his sister to be really picky person. "Miura, how did it go " Komi asked Izan about his first session with the under-19s.
"Sensational" Izan said before going upstairs. Izan after putting his bag down opened his system tab and selected his personal info.

Izan looked a bit sad that his overall went up by just one. "No one said it was gonna be easy" he said as he got into position to do his post-training yoga routine. After Izan was done he went down for dinner.
Izan came down for dinner. He looked around to see if the girl he had seen earlier was still there but didn't see her. "Guess she went. Who was she anyway, she looked somewhat familiar." Izan went to the table and after he finished eating he washed the dishes before going up. He pulled his phone and started watching reels on Instagram.
After a while he started looking at some news in the world of football. He still saw the Mbappe to Real Madrid news and thought very soon, those kind of teams will be wanting to sign him. Izan looked at a bit of the news before retrieving to slumberland.
Izan woke up the next day and checked the time and saw that it was 6:00. His eyes flashed the date which showed [17 April 2022]."F**k" Izan said as he remembered that he had not done the system upgrade.
He had joined the under-19s and it was left with about 7 matches till the end of their season. Izan freshened up and went out for his daily task. After he finished he came in and drank a cup of milk before going to bath.
After he finished he dressed and went down again. This time Komi was done with breakfast. Izan gobbled it up
and after he was done, he decided to ride his bike to school today.
"Mom I'll be riding my bike to school today" Izan said. "Okay miura, just be careful" Komi said from the kitchen. Izan saw that It was still early so he decided to relax and enjoy the wind that was brushing against his face which made his hair disheveled .
Izan got to school and went through the day without much hustle. He wrote the mock exam without much struggle as aside from training he had been learning too.
He was confident he aced the exam. At the end of the day Izan picked his stuff before heading off to the training ground
Izan arrived early and saw that he was the first to arrive. He changed into his training kit and decided train a bit before actual practice.
Izan set up the cones and dummy and did some speed and Dribbling drills. After a while he decided to do a bit of freekick drills.
Izan set up the wall with about 4 dummies and set up 4 balls,each from different positions. The first ball was from 20 metres out. Izan took 3 steps back . He with his run up pulled his right leg back before shooting the ball into the net.
Although there was no keeper between the post ,from the way Izan hit the ball it wouldn't make a difference if there was one.
Izan's second try was from 24 metres out. This time he run up and hit the ball but it struck the corner of the crossbar.
"You must use your body well if you want to get the ball inside the net" a voice spoke prompting Izan to turn his head only to find Coach Moreno standing behind him.
Izan quickly greeted him." You should plant your left leg well to get the maximum power from the right leg" he said. "And also for more curl strike the underside of the ball with the side of the boot" he added.
Izan nodded and went to the next ball which was 28 meters out. Izan this time took four steps back. He looked at the ball and run up to the ball,planting his left leg beside the ball and with heavy movement of his right foot,Izan struck the underside of the ball.
The ball rose up into the air, passing over the static dummies. With rapid and a spiral movement,the ball homed into the back of the net. Izan stood there looking at the ball. He looked at Coach Moreno who was smiling." What a monster. I guess we won't have to worry
about setpieces for a while" thought Coach Moreno after seeing Izan freekick potential.
The same happened for the next ball as Izan smashed the ball into the net. Izan looked at the coach and smiled. Coach Moreno saw that some of the players had arrived and told Izan to quickly wrap it up .
Izan packed the cones and arranged the dummies in their respective places. After he finished he followed Coach Moreno. When the players saw both of them coming one of the players remarked" hey Izan has Coach Moreno adopted you yet". The other players who heard this started laughing. Some felt pity for Izan. Izan walked up to Juan and asked him what they meant by that.
"Well Coach has the tendency to overtrain players he likes " Juan answered. "Lets say if we were all running 10 laps, you my friend" he said placing his hand on Izan's shoulder."Are going to run 20 laps". "Oh" Izan said
