Chapter 13 - The Medicals Day

Friday December 18, 2016.

After waking up due to the alarm set by him for 1:30pm, Vincent dressed up wearing a thick hoodie and came out to the living room where he met Bogani who was on one of the couches. He simply walked to the fridge grabbed a bottle of water and joined Bogani on the couche.

"How do you think the medical will be like?" Bogani asked.

"I don't actually know, but I do known it will most likely be brutal." Vincent stated as a matter of fact.

As they continued their idle chat about 15 mins later, Witsel arrived and they headed to the Luminus Arena where the senior, reserve and U19 team of K.R.C Genk use for training, The youth team had a medical centre here and that is were he and Bogani would undergo their medical test.

"Your move to KRC Genk will be finalized after you pass the medical tests, as the club needs to know if you are a good investment or not." Mr Witsel said as they entered the parking lot.

"This also helps them know how to design a proper training plan for you once you enter the academy," He explained trying to ease the visible tension.

30mins later, Vincent was separated from Bogani and was directed into a private room with various facilities by a friendly middle-aged doctor named Dr. Eric Lewis.

Less than an hour later, Vincent was grinding his legs at full power on an exercise bike while crying in his mind.

[He is literally a smiling demon] Vincent lamented in his mind.

The doctor was putting him through hell, frequently alternating the resistance of the bike, increasing it and sometimes reducing it and the real medical hasn't even begun and it has been an hour.

"Alright that's enough, next we shall carry out the Biodex assessment to test your leg muscles," Dr. Lewis explained. 

Immediately he was strapped to a chair, Vincent felt like a lab rat used for experiment . He was instructed to kick his leg then pull back slowly be for putting it back in position with resistance increasing after every cycle alternating between his legs left he panting like a dog after a about 15 mins. 

After the Biodex he ran on a treadmill breathing through a mask at varying speeds, then went through other tests such as urine tests, blood test, bone scan e.t.c

After about six hours they finally left that accursed place, Vincent and Bogani entered the car that brought them as Witsel instructed them to head on with out him they'll see tomorrow. 

*******

As they left, in the office of Genk Manager.

Dr. Lewis handed over two folders containing the results of both Vincent and Bogani to Witsel and Mr Albert Stuivenberg the manager of Genk.

"Lewis why did you call me over?" Albert inquired.

"If you look over the data in the folders it contains the medical results for two new players from Africa. Their results are excellent for their age, one of the best I've seen in recent years. Especially that Vincent kid, his endurance, muscle strength, bone density even to his joints and pelvic muscle is excellent warranting good body coordination. 

Somewhat rivaling some of the senior team players and Bogani although has less lower body mobility he has high endurance great physique." He stated in awe and amazement.

"With such great body condition, Vincent could enter the substitute or at least reserve team before he reaches 18 and Bogani could outright start or be a sub, right manager?. Witsel asked joyfully feeling proud for having such good eye for talents.

"Hmm.... let them play with the reserve team against the starters on Monday, I'll decide after that." Albert Stuivenberg declared after contemplating for awhile.

"Hmm alright I'll inform the boys. What time is the training match?" Witsel asked clearly annoyed. 

"By 3pm sharp and Witsel, I simply have requirements it's not intentional." Albert stated while leaving.

*******

The duo got to their apartment by 8:30pm clearly exhausted. 

"Dude it felt like they were trying to torture us," Bogani said as he slumped on the couche.

"Yeah man, but it was worth it." Vincent said while gulping down a bottle of water.

"Damn, I going to take a shower then sleep," Vincent said to Bogani who was stuffing his mouth food, as he knew they would restock tomorrow.

"Alright, good night bro." Bogani replied to Vincent who was already at the door too his room.

After a long shower, Vincent crashed on the bed feeling fatigued. He called his mom narrating the events of the day, with her providing comfort and motivation. Then Vincent remembered the System and his lost points which irked him, so he called out [SYSTEM open the shop].
