Chapter 45 Eric's dilemma

Their trophy celebration lasted for a while. And finally after a group photo with the cup, their celebration came to an end.

"I've done all I can but why can't I see system notification for the completion of the quest? Did I fail somehow?" He wondered. "Well it's not even that surprising though. Guess I'll be bidding my farewell to my 8 stat points."

After the end of the match, Eric returned to his mother's ancestral house which was located in Shibuya city, Tokyo.

As soon as he entered his room, he threw himself in his bed. While lying with his face facing against the ceiling, he began to replay the match in his mind.

"That kid was really something else. But there are many kids like him around the world. And moreover he's asian. So should I leave him or sign him?" He was in conflict with himself. He couldn't bring himself to decide whether to sign Hiro or let him go.

As he analyzed his play even further, he got even more confused. While his gameplay impressed him, he couldn't bring himself to go against his philosophy and sign him. Yet he couldn't bring himself to let him go either.

"Argh!! It's frustrating." He exasperated while rubbing his hair in frenzy.

"Let's investigate him first and then we'll decide."

He was getting restless while thinking of Hiro.

Unable to decide, he got up from his bed and walked towards his desk. As he pulled the chair and sat on top of it, he pulled out his laptop from his drawer and placed it atop his table.

He then began to search for anything related to Hiro. "Ookami elementary school." He typed on the Google search bar without much expectations. As he pressed enter, several results popped up on his screen.

"Woah!! There are a lot more results than what I originally expected." Eric mumbled in awe upon witnessing the results shown by Google.

While going through his videos, he coincidentally stumbled upon Hiro's newtube channel. "So this kid's got a newtube channel too. Woah!! Look at those subscribers. He's like a local newtube celebrity." Eric mumbled in awe upon witnessing the number of views and subscribers in his video.

As he began to go through his newtube videos, Eric could no longer stop him from contacting Hiro. He then began to search for his contact information. While searching for his contact information, he chanced upon the contact number of his school.

The day after the final match of tournament. Hiro was lying in his bed with his eyes wide open. It was already 7:45 AM.

Even though his eyes were open, he couldn't bring himself to leave his bed. Since the school had given a day off for the players who participated in the tournament, he was in no hurry to wake up.

Chirp!! Chirp!!

While lying in bed, he heard chirps of birds outside his window. Yet he couldn't bring himself to wake up from his bed. He casted a glance at his window. Rays of morning sun illuminating from the gaps of the curtains shone bright in his eyes.

Those bright rays of sunlight made him uncomfortable. And thus, he began to shade his eyes from those bright rays with his hands.

He then turned his head and began to stare at the ceiling above him.

"Sigh~~"

"I want to sleep, yet I can't today." He mumbled.

Usually he'd be taking a nap around that time, yet that day he was wide awake.

He tried to close his eyes but still he couldn't fall asleep. Feeling restless, he thought of checking on the system.

"System activate"

As he mumbled, a holographic blue screen appeared before his eyes. He then began to fiddle with the system. While fiddling through the system, he noticed a bell icon glowing in red colour.

"Huh what's that bell like thing? It wasn't there before." With his eyebrows raised, he paused for a while as he noticed the bell icon. Out of sheer curiosity, he clicked on the bell icon. Just as he clicked the bell icon, the system directed him towards a new page.

[System update available]

[Required attribute point for the system upgrade: 100]

[Attribute point in possession: 83]

[Note: please complete your quest to earn more attribute points to upgrade the system.]

"Huh attribute points can be used like that as well. I thought that it was used for raising the stats." He mumbled as he witnessed the text on the screen. Even though he was gifted with a system, he hadn't been using system much. And thus his knowledge of the system was very limited. "System can you elaborate more about the use of attribute points?"

[Attribute points description]

[A currency of the system which can be used to exchange items in system store, increase stats and upgrade system features.]

[Note: 10 attribute point = 1 stat point]

[You can exchange 10 attribute points for 1 stat point of your desire.]

"I see!! So basically 10 attribute points can be exchanged for 1 stat points. So 1 attribute point only amounts to 0.1 stat point. No wonder my progress is slow. It's really hard to increase stat points. Even with the help of system you can't just miraculously become the world's best player overnight." He mumbled as he tried to figure out the use of attribute points. "But how do I gain attribute points?"

[It can be gained only via quest and daily mission.]

Since the moment he gained the system, he hadn't used his attribute points. He had been saving his attribute points for the time of need.

"Damn!! The attribute points which I saved for almost 5 years only amounts to 8 stat points. It's a daylight robbery." He intoned as he thrusted his hand and pushed his upper body up.

"Hirooooo!!! What's that sound that I heard?" His mother yelled as she heard a loud sound coming from his room.

"Nothing mom!! The sound must have come from the outside." He replied while trying to hide his actions.

Ring!! Ring!! Ring!!

"Hello!! It's Sizuka speaking. How may I help you?"

"Hello!! Is this the number of Ookami elementary school??" Eric inquired.

"Yes it's the number of Ookami elementary school. How may I help you?"

"Hello!! It's Eric Parker speaking. I'm a football agent from Europe. And I was wondering if you'd be able to provide me with the contact number of one of your students."

"Can you please hold on for a minute? I'll pass the phone to our principal. So that you can discuss it with him." Sizuka sensei, the personal assistant of the principal of Ookami elementary school spoke as she heard Eric's reply.

Step!! Step!! Step!!

She then hurriedly rushed towards the principal's office while carrying the phone in her hands.

Knock!! Knock!! Knock!!

She knocked on the door of principal's office.

"Yes!! Whose this??" Principal Miyamoto spoke from inside his office.

"Sir it's Sizuka, your PA"

"Oh it's you Sizuka sensei. Please enter." Principal Miyamoto allowed Sizuka sensei to enter.

Sizuka sensei then handed the phone to principal Miyamoto. "Miyamoto Takumi speaking. How may I help you?"

"It's a pleasure to speak with you Takumi san. I'm Eric Parker, an agent from Europe. I've been wondering if you could provide me with the contact details of one of your players." Eric exclaimed in a soft voice. He was extremely polite while making his request.

At first principal Miyamoto doubted Eric's claim and was hesitant to provide him with the contact information. But as they continued to talk for a while, he confirmed that Eric's claims were all true.

"It was pleasure talking to you Takumi san. I've got some works to do right now, so if you'll excuse me then I shall take my leave for now. Let's continue our talk tomorrow, shall we?" Eric cheerfully exclaimed as he tried to hung the call.

"Then we shall do that Eric san. Also we'll discuss more about the deal tomorrow when we meet. Hahaha..., Have a good day Eric san." Principal Miyamoto replied.

"You too have a good day Takumi san." As he said his well wishes, he hung up the call.

After sweet-talking principal Miyamoto Takumi for a while Eric finally attained the contact number of Hiro's family.

"That stingy old man wants me to promote his school's name in exchange for providing me with the contact number of Hiro. Well it's not that big of a deal since I'll be leaving for Europe in few days either way. So I'll fulfill his wish as a charitable request."

In exchange for providing Eric with the contact number of Hiro, principal Miyamoto wanted to use his name. Even though he had nothing to lose from that deal, he still didn't have anything to gain from that deal either except getting the contact number of Hiro.

Principal Miyamoto wanted to use Eric and Hiro's name as marketing tool to boost his school's name.

Since most of the times he would be in Europe, Eric reluctantly agreed to his deal.

Eric then began to dial the number given my principal Miyamoto.

Ring!! Ring!! Ring!!

"Hello!! It's Mrs Takahashi speaking. How may I help you?" Momo answered the call from Eric.

"Hello!! I'm Eric Parker. I'm a football agent from Europe and I'd like to talk about your son. Would you have some minutes to spare?"
