Chapter 205 Love triangle?
Chapter 205 Love triangle?
Kan nodded, despite not knowing what Wick had in mind. They waited anxiously as the referee placed the whistle in his mouth and blew it.
Immediately after the referee blew it, Kan passed the ball gently to Wick. Wick, in turn, kicked the ball toward the opposing goalpost with power.
The ball flew swiftly through the air, catching the goalkeeper off guard.
The goalkeeper wasn't in his line, and Wick noticed that, so he used that time wisely and kicked the ball from the center of the pitch.
Despite the goalkeeper moving back to his goal line and jumping in an attempt to stop the ball, it found the back of the net with a resounding sound.
Ebony FC's fans cheered loudly as the players went to celebrate. They knew for sure that the game was only leveled and not won. They needed to score more, or their opponents would take the win.
There was a look of disappointment in the eyes of the opponents as they moved the ball to the center of the pitch. They knew for sure they needed to do more; otherwise, they would be kicked out.
As they set the ball rolling once again, they passed it among themselves as they did in the first half.
But Ebony FC was energized after equalizing, and they chased the ball passionately but cautiously this time.
They maintained their positions, and within a short while, they regained possession.
The opponents, now having seen Wick score a goal, were scared of allowing him to touch the ball, so two players marked him man-to-man.
Unknown to them, there's Kan.
Kan found a small dribbling space after Emily passed the ball to him. The players, having their attention on Wick, Kan dribbled them one after the other.
At first, they came to Kan recklessly, but having seen how good he was at dribbling, they started being careful.
Kan, on the other hand, loved how the players fell after he dribbled them. He successfully dribbled about four players. As he raised his head, he was now face to face with the goalkeeper who was already sprinting towards him to block any shot.
Kan could hear the screams from the fans anticipating a goal. He was determined to give the fans what they wanted.
He skillfully moved the ball to the side with his right foot swiftly but precisely. The goalkeeper was still coming when Kan hit the bottom of the ball, and he chipped it over the goalkeeper's head, scoring a beautiful goal.
The ball flew so high that the goalkeeper couldn't lay a finger on it despite diving high.
Before the ball could hit the back of the net, Kan had already run to the sideline to celebrate, and his teammates followed, shouting as they grabbed him joyfully.
The stadium went rowdy after Kan scored the goal. Their fans were celebrating, and the opposing fans complained about the defenders that he just dribbled.
"They're useless! How can they just allow him to dribble them? So shameful! We need better players on the pitch!" they complained.
Not so long after the second goal, Kan scored another goal again from outside the box.
The opposing fans were now speechless; they didn't really know who to blame for the goal, definitely not the goalkeeper because they knew he was good after blocking some shots earlier.
Before the end of the match, they were 5-1 down, with Kan scoring 2 goals, Wick, Alfred, and Emily scoring a goal each.
It was a glorious victory for Kan and his teammates as they went back to their hostel joyfully after receiving some encouraging words from Coach Nami.
[What a day you've had,] Hela said to Kan as he laid down in his bed to rest for a while after taking a shower to ease the match stress.
"Yeah, a memorable one indeed. We can win the cup if we continue playing like we did in the second half," Kan emphasized.
Kan tried as hard as he could to sleep, but sleep was nowhere to be found despite the room being silent.
The other players were already sleeping, and it was only him who was a bit awake as it was already late. He heard some voices coming through the window beside his bed.
[There are some players having training sessions outside, care to join them?] Hela suggested.
Kan was at first a bit hesitant, but he decided to just go as there was nothing much to be doing in the hostel.
"I might have some good laugh or end up learning something," he said as he walked out through the door to the training ground, where the noise was coming from.
As he approached, he saw a lot of players training. They had a match the next day, so they were getting themselves prepared for it. The training ground was subdivided into 4 compartments, each occupied with different teams training.
Kan stood by the first team, but their training was boring. They weren't playing well, nor was their training funny. Kan didn't waste any time; he moved to the next team to observe what they were doing.
The second team was wearing red jerseys. There were numerous skilled players in their team. One could actually tell from a mere sight of their training. They passed the ball really well, and they were coordinated.
"Enjoying the show?" Evelyn's voice rang behind him as she leaned on his shoulder, prompting Kan to quickly turn.
"Ehh, yeah, they're actually good, you know," Kan replied.
"Those are fucking Mighty FC players, one of the best we have in the tournament," Evelyn added.
"Oh, I see," Kan replied plainly.
"You're..." She said, trying to recall his name.
"Kan," he replied.
"Yeah, Kan. I'm Evelyn. Coach Nami's second daughter," she explained.
"Oh yeah, I'm aware of that," Kan replied.
"Nice, having trouble sleeping?" She asked Kan as she stared into his eyes, awaiting his response.
"Yeah, don't really feel sleepy today," Kan replied.
"Same here," Evelyn replied before a ball was kicked out, and the ball passed near her, so she turned to pick it up for the trainers.
"Ding!"
[New task: Make Evelyn squirt]
[Reward: New skill]
"What? It's only been a minute since we started talking, and you want to... engage with her?" Kan asked.
[It's not about that; the task is not your main concern, baby. The reward will be helpful during the competition.] Hela added.
"Why don't we just take a walk down the roadside instead of standing here? It will be fun," Evelyn suggested as she stood in front of Kan, gently bouncing her body as she talked.
Her half opened buttons displayed a large portion of her boobs except the nipples, which one could see even under the dress.
One could swear she had gone and opened her buttons after she went to pick the ball up because that wasn't how she met Kan.
"Sure," Kan replied, and they started walking down the roadside, with Kan thinking possible ways to seize this opportunity tonight.
