[Requirements to steal S grade master of trivela has being met beat Ronaldinho in a 1v1 match]

[Host has successfully stolen A grade talent finesse shot]

[Discovered a similar talent C grade power shot]

[Would you like to use the talent C grade power shot to upgrade A grade finesse shot]

The system sent a prompt with two options

[Yes/No]

Makinde immediately picked the 'yes' option

[Ding, the A grade finesse shot has being upgraded to A+ finesse shot]

[It would require thirty days for the the stolen talent to be fully imprinted in the host and within this period host would not be able to steal any talent. Would host like to commence the process]

Makinde immediately accepted the 'yes' option without hesitation because the camp program would begin after a month and 15 days and during the summer break and it wouldn't affect his talent stealing plans.

Makinde's mom and Ronaldinho's agent made their way to the pitch where the two people laid on the grass taking a rest.

"Ronaldinho what are you doing here you still have an interview to attend to and you already missed majority of all the important things today" A man dressed in a expensive looking shouted at Ronaldinho across the field, his face lovid with frustration.

" Hey Fernando take it easy I was just taking a break and helping a promising talent" He said taking a glance at Makinde who was lying beside him "isn't that why I am here to encourage this young talent" Ronaldinho said with a triumphant smirk on his face making Fernando sigh in frustration

"Am very sorry I hope Makinde didn't cause any difficulty for. I am his mom, just call me Christine " Makinde's mom said

"Of course not.. I would just need to take our super star here back to the interviews" Fernando said with a smile as he dragged Ronaldinho away who was screaming to be let go.

His school and football academy George Campion FA was playing their first competition in three years and he was a major player in their game today.

The day went by quickly and Makinde could barely contain his excitement for his first game in this new life, he had remembered telling his at mom breakfast today about his game today, in his previous life he had no one to support him, hell his parents had never even seen a single one of his football matches.

"Lads this is our first official competition in 3 years and we got to go out there and show them what we've got ok, there is no room for mistakes and error now we have to seize every chance we get" He paused as he looked through all the players "remember we have practiced for this and even if we lose we won't go down without a fight" Tha coach said with a voice full of emotion and tears even welled up in the corner of his eyes.

The youngsters all echoed his sentiment and only Makinde turned his face away from the spectacle feeling embarrassed at such a cheesy pep talk.

The players of George Campion FA walked out onto the field along with their opponent and they all went to their respective position, George Campion FA used the 5-3-2 formation and Makinde was playing as a right winger while their rival were using the 3-4-3 formation.

"We are here at the georgie local stadium for the the Championship tournament" The voice of the commentator resounded through the pitch as many parents and supporter were there chanting their support for thei kids, as Makimde looked up he noticed his mom had made it to the ge and was even holding a banner with his name on it and his number which is the number 17.
