Kneel

Destiny's mood and sudden change worried Neo, coupled with the fact that Neo now knew who the Spanish-looking teenager in front of him was.

Destiny stared at Neo. It's worrying for me to disclose to you that you've already lost your first game in the round off sixteen. Do you want to know why?

Neo was silent.

Destiny smirked. The reason is the most simple thing you would ever hear, it's because you would be facing me in your first game in the round off sixteen, that is, if you manage to qualify, I mean, you've already lost your first game.

The soccer wars tournament was something that was to start and end in the same month. Because of school activities.

As a result, there was no such thing as home and away games, instead, the round off sixteen was a one-match knockout stage.

Even though Destiny annoyed Neo very much, Neo couldn't deny that he was right.

Krystal Fc still had two more games to play, and if they lost even one, they were done for. Nothing apart from a win was permitted, Marbles was surely going to decimate their opponents in their next two games, at the same time, Krystal Fc couldn't even afford to tie a match.

After the few matches that Neo had featured with his new team, he had gained crazy popularity and a new nickname. Everyone was now calling him the floater, Neo would have never remembered this, save for the fact that Destiny uttered his next statement.

Now come at me, and let me show you the difference between a superhuman and the average.

Neo shot Destiny a quizzical expression. Huh? What did you just say? It's weird because, even if you're a superhuman, I ain't no ordinary human, I am…The Floater!

Destiny laughed heartily for a while. Then his face got serious.

Alright, Floater. Show me what you've got.

With that, Destiny started moving towards him.

Destiny first tried a few scissors legs then he paused. He did again, and this time, it went so fast that his legs blurred.

Neo was stepping backwards subconsciously, he didn't even know that Destiny was pushing him backwards with his dribble.

Destiny moved. His leg seemed to be pushing the ball to the left while his whole body leaned to the right.

Destiny's play confused him and he couldn't tell what the boy was thinking. Neo instantly took a wide step to the back and that elicited a grin from Destiny.

Destiny suddenly moved the ball twice in quick succession and Neo tried to poke his leg at the ball but he failed woefully. Instead, Neo's legs swept the air and the stretch forced him to kneel so as to avoid any casualties.

Destiny shook his head as he passed the ball into the net.

Destiny turned around. Is that all? Tsk tsk…the Floater really sucks.

With that, Destiny turned around and began to walk away.

Neo hurried to his feet. From the moment Destiny introduced himself, he knew he only stood a chance with his team play, and not alone.

Wait! Are you leaving just like that!? We aren't done yet!

Destiny turned around. He raised a brow as he spoke. Really? We aren't done yet?

Neo nodded his head. Yes!

Destiny walked towards him. Alright, figure this. If you can stall me for up-to ten seconds, I will play with you.

Fine. Neo spoke.

Neo knew that he might not be able to stop Destiny's drive, but stalling him for ten seconds wasn't supposed to be a very hard thing to do.

Destiny said something that shocked Neo. You can use flash steps if you want.

Destiny started dribbling again. His dribble was formless and it lacked a steady rhythm.

Destiny suddenly made a turn and when Neo followed, he spun around Neo, but Neo wasn't going to loosen up so fast. Neo stuck on him like a leech.

With a small hesitation move and waiting for Neo to get closer, Destiny spun around him again.

He had completely gotten past Neo with a series of spins and only three seconds to go.

Neo gritted his teeth as he used flash steps to blitz towards his opponent.

Destiny smirked. I knew you'd do that.

So…

Destiny suddenly pulled the ball backwards and halting into a complete stop, nutmegging Neo in the process.

Neo panicked as he did an abrupt stop and turned around, but his opponent was full of many ideas and he was as tricky as the devil.

But Neo didn't completely turn around, he only turned enough to see his opponent.

But he could only catch a glimpse of Destiny.

Destiny smiled as he moved forward again, Forcing Neo's subconscious to remove again. But Neo was in the most unbalanced position ever and trying to move again would only result in one thing.

Destiny whispered coldly into Neo's ears.

Kneel.

With that, Neo sank to the floor like one whose legs were instantly chopped off.

A split second later, the sound of a ball hit the back of the net filled the air.
