My system allows me to copy talents

Just as he was about to give up on the thoughts of making money, something sparked in his mind as he took hold of his phone.

“What if I start making content related to football and post it on social media sites? I’m sure that I can get tons of views since I’m still a kid. And people love kids demonstrating something extraordinary.”

“It might take some time, but I’ve got plenty of time in my hands right now. So given the situation, it’s the perfect idea for making money. And if I’ll get lucky, professional scouts might take notice of me as well, which will further help me with my goals.”

“But I’ll probably need someone to take my videos.”

Just when he finally thought of a good idea to make money, he encountered another problem. He was really bad at making videos. Aside from playing football, he didn’t have any talent at all. And football was the only thing he was good at.

“What if I ask my parents to do it for me??”

He wondered.

“They’ll probably decline my request. They’re busy with their jobs, so I’ll have to think of someone else. But for now let’s sleep.”

Ring!! Ring!! Ring!!

The sound of the alarm clock woke him up early in the morning at 5 AM.

“Ugh!! It’s morning already? I want to sleep a little more.”

He exclaimed in half asleep state.

Even though he wanted to sleep a little more, he woke up regardless. For past few months, it had been his daily routine to wake up early in the morning to train.

“247, 248, 249 and finally 250.”

“Why is that kid shooting ball early in the morning?”

One of the passerby inquired.

“May be he’s training to become a professional football player.”

Another passerby replied.

“Oh that kid! It must be your first time jogging out here. For past 7 or 8 months he have been coming to the park daily with his ball and training all by himself. He’s pretty much dedicated.”

Another passerby who was jogging in the park interrupted the two passerby’s conversation.

“While kids his age are sleeping right now, he’s here working hard for his dreams. His parents must be really proud of him. Alas!! If only my kids were as hardworking as him.”

An old lady who was jogging in the park joined in the discussion between all those previous passerby’s.

Even though he was still a kid, his neighbourhood was quite safe for kids to go out early in the morning.

And even though he used to get up early in the morning, as soon as he used to reach home after exercising he’d throw himself in bed and fall asleep instantly.

Today wasn’t any different as well, as soon as he got home, he knocked himself into the bed and fell asleep.

“Wake up Hiro!!”

“Wake up fast or else you’ll be late for school.”

His mother yelled.

“Argh!! Let me sleep a little more.”

He replied in his sleepy voice and pulled the blanket over his head and covered himself wholly.

However she kept on shaking him to wake him up. Seeing his stubbornness to wake up, she pulled the blanket in one fell swoop.

And as usual, once again he got scolded by his mother. As if his day would turn out incomplete without her early morning nagging, it had kinda become something like a ritual for him to wake up to her nagging every morning.

Slam!!

“As usual you’re late.”

While walking towards his classroom, Akashi smacked his back playfully.

“Ahh!! Yeah I woke up kinda late today.”

Hiro replied while rubbing his back with his hands.

“Did you watch yesterday’s el casico?”

Akashi inquired.

“It was yesterday?”

Hiro bewilderingly replied.

Just like Hiro, Akashi loved to watch European football.

“Surely this time Real Madrid’s gonna win both la liga and champions league.”

Akashi proudly exclaimed.

Akashi was a supporter of Real Madrid and idolised Christian Romero who played for Real Madrid.

Having the knowledge of the future, he knew exactly who’d win the titles. And 2015 was the season of Barcelona. They’d go on to win la liga, Copa Del Rey and champions league in that season.

“Dream on!! It’s gonna be Barcelona who’ll win both la liga and champions league.”

Hiro replied back.

With that reply, both of them got into an argument. Most of the time, they got along pretty well with each other but everytime the topic of their favourite club was brought, they used to get into an argument.

Even though Hiro was quite mature from inside, he would still argue when the the topic of the club he supported was brought onto the table.

“You kids, don’t you have classes?”

One of the faculty member yelled while they were arguing with each other in the hallway.

Hearing his yell both of them headed towards their respective classrooms.

Later in the evening, after the daily training ended, while they were preparing to head home, Hiro called out for Akashi.

“Akashi! Don’t you want to improve your game??”

Hiro inquired.

“I do want to improve my gameplay. But I don’t know how to improve my gameplay.”

Akashi frowned.

“I can help you with it. But you need to help me with something as well.”

Hiro proposed a deal to Akashi. In return for teaching him football, Hiro wanted Akashi to shoot his videos.

Akashi reluctantly agreed to his proposal. Since he knew what Hiro was capable of, he didn’t doubt his ability to teach him football. And just like that both of them agreed to help each other.

[New quest unlocked]

[Help Akashi to make his debut in the tournament]

[Reward on completion: Golden ticket]

[Punishment on failure: Deduction of random stat]

‘Huh a quest unlocked all of a sudden? The reward is very tempting but the punishment is really harsh as well.’

All of a sudden, a quest unlocked. And surprisingly the system offered a golden roulette ticket for the reward on completion.

‘He does have potential, but I’m sure he won’t get to play in the first match. And if we lose the first match, the quest is basically all over.’

“Why are you staring at me like that?”

Akashi inquired.

Without even realising, he was contemplatively staring at Akashi with a weird expression in his face.

“I was thinking of how I can grind you.”

“Huh!! Grind me?”

“Yeah I was thinking of the training method to help you improve. Hehe”

Hiro revealed a evil smirk as he finished his sentence.

“Somehow I’m having ill omen about this.”

Akashi gulped his saliva.

“Okay then let’s meet at school ground this saturday at 5 PM”

“Huh school ground? But will the teacher even allow us to use the school ground during holiday?” .

Akashi questioned.

During holidays, nobody was allowed to use the school facilities. However Hiro who was sponsored by the school was allowed to use the ground even during holidays.

“Don’t worry about that, just meet me at the ground this Saturday at 5 PM.”

Hiro assured.

And just like that Akashi agreed to shoot videos of Hiro in exchange for teaching him football.

Fast forward to Saturday, Hiro made Akashi to shoot the ball 500 times. However he couldn’t even shoot 200 times.

Everything went well at first but as he progressed forward, Akashi’s legs got heavy and he couldn’t even lift his legs properly.

Hiro made him do the sets of exercises given by the system. But unlike Hiro, Akashi couldn’t even complete 3 sets of the exercises.

And as per the deal between them, Akashi shot Hiro’s videos after the training.

Later at night, Hiro was fiddling around with his phone while lying in his bed.

“Now then what should I name the channel??”

Hiro started to wonder about the name of his channel.

He was going to upload the video shot by Akashi in his newtube channel, but he couldn’t think of a name for his channel.

“Ahh!! It should work.”

“The name of my channel will be~”
