My Goalkeeping System

What is worse than being the worst team in the world? For Dave Richards that was a very easy but heartbreaking question to answer, a goalkeeper who performed poorly between the sticks, he was still available as a first-choice goalkeeper because Unique FC didn't have any other goalkeeper. He was slow on his feet, couldn't jump properly and worst of all, he didn't know how to hold the ball properly. The only way that Unique FC was able to survive taking in a massive goal-fest sometimes was because of the extra effort they put in their defence. After a terrible match in which Dave wasn't able to make any saves and also made a lot of mistakes, he was seriously scolded by the managerial staff and almost received a beating from his angry teammates. He got home sad and also angry at all those who told him he looked like his grandfather and would therefore inherit his goalkeeping skills. He discovered a hidden door below his room and when he got down there the only thing he could see was a black box. He found the box to be quite familiar and when he opened it the last thing he saw was a bright white light when the light was gone he could see something in his field of vision. [ Welcome Dave ] [ You have activated the Goalkeeping system ] A female voice read out the messages. This is a story about how an ordinary man who didn't know his place between the sticks went from nothing to pro and beyond that.

Overcome The Wind

'What do you mean you know why I got the quest?' Dave inquired.

<Look around, don't you feel something different in the atmosphere?>

Dave didn't reply immediately as he slowly began to look around.

'Yeah, it's a little windy today.' He replied before bringing out his palm to feel the wind.

<Exactly and the wind can be troublesome to football players most of the time>

'That's what stopped the balls from hitting the crossbar, especially the second one.'

<Yeah, the reason for this quest is for you to learn how to overcome this wind trouble, this will also be useful when you're keeping on a windy day>

"This is going to be tough." The goalkeeper said before turning his gaze to the remaining six balls.

'I have six balls remaining, If I miss two more, the quest is over for me.'

He took two steps backward before he quickly raced toward the next ball and sent it flying toward the goalpost, adding a little bit of shot power compared to what he used on the previous two balls.
