This past two weeks, Neo had grown from an averagely fast player to a reasonably moderate speedster. And he wanted more, he really adored fast players and he was bent on becoming one of them.
Neo didn't lose his gaze on Destiny as he started dribbling slowly, moving forward as he created some patterns around the ball with the ball.
Destiny found Neo's peculiar footwork interesting. Somehow, his attention was being drawn from the ball to Neo's legs, no matter how much he tried, he just couldn't seem to keep his eyes away from the ball.
Destiny was moving backwards subconsciously and suddenly, he totally lost focus on the ball, it was very obvious and Neo capitalized instantly.
Neo instantly made a very fast drive that carried the ball along as he quickly lost Destiny.
Neo pushed the ball sideways and a clear part to the monkey lost was formed.
In a flash, Neo released a Floor-hugging shot that found its way into the back of the net.
Neo wiped the sweat away from his nose in an Isagi-fashion as he walked back to go defend his goal.
Destiny was unshaken by Neo's goal. Instead he steadied the ball, smirked at Neo and let out a small laugh.
Come at me, Failure!!
Neo didn't allow himself to get angry at the short superhuman striker, instead he steadied himself in a defensive position.
The boy that was faced with him was undoubtedly a striker, so his collection of dribbles shouldn't be too complex, Neo felt he should be able to handle the Spanish looking boy.
But he was a bit wrong in thinking that way, the superhuman striker was worth a bit more than goals, his speed and dribbling skills were top notch too.
For a renowned player like Xavi, having only a finishing skill wasn't going to help so much because, at some point, you would meet an opponent so tough that you would have to create chances by yourself, what better way is there to do that than putting fear into their body with a sweet dribbling skill?
For that reaso alone, Destiny could confidently stand his ground against the best dribblers of this tournament.
Destiny placed one foot on the ball, it was hard to tell what he was thinking, but Neo was very sure that Destiny was underestimating him.
Neo suddenly burst out with a crazy amount of speed, chasing after Destiny.
Destiny was taken aback. Wha..! Did he use flash steps!?
Neo could see right through Xavi, and his expression sold his thoughts out.
Since Neo was coming at a high speed, he wouldn't be able to react very quickly to a simple dribble skill by Destiny.
Destiny tapped the ball forward a bit, expecting Neo to run right through the ball, but to his greatest surprise, Neo stopped. Neo's crazy speed suddenly decreased, and he was back to a temperate speed.
If you concentrate speed in your legs and you release it all at once, you would receive a speed buff a bit similar to flash's steps but it's effects don't last long and it doesn't consume as much stamina also.
So Destiny had a grin on his face when he tapped the ball forward slightly, but the grin suffered from what I call instant termination when Neo suddenly stopped.
As a result, the ball came as a low and sweet pass to Neo.
Without even controlling the ball, Neo chipped it over Destiny and the ball found the back of the net quite easily.
Neo slapped his hands together as he shot a condescending look at Destiny Xavi.
Is that all you've got? You've really loud mouth for someone who is a natural failure.
Destiny eyes twitched a little, the anger was obvious in him.
Again, Destiny showed his winning temperament by instantly calming down and showing a smile.
Woah, looks like I've played around enough, some random dude with a weird and ancient name like Neo now thinks he can speak to me in any manner he so pleases.
Okay, I actually forgot to say something, My name is Destiny Xavi.
Neo's pupils constricted, if this was Destiny Xavi, the superhuman striker he had heard about so many times…
Destiny juggled the ball a bit. Alright now…it's time to make you…kneel!
