Chapter 5 - Meeting A Genius

"Mom,mom are you home ma I want to go out to get some things". jalaza shouted as he walked down the stairs and towards his shoe rack which was located in the hall leading to the living room to get some sneakers for his run.

"Am home, Mi hijo."

Jalaza mom's voice rang out as the sound of her footsteps rang out as she was making her way to jalaza.

"Come here little Jay"... jalaza mom said as she ruffled his head while smiling deeply at him.

"Your coach called me and told me about what happened today am so happy so my Son is now a barcelona player."

His mom squealed with joy as she let go of his head and gave him a big wet sloppy....

*(am kidding)as she gave him a gentle kiss before pulling him into a hug her excitement grand and her smile infectious.

"Yeah yeah mum am now a barca player but am just joining their academy still have much work to do but I promise I would make it pro I promise.

Jalaza said as he bent down to tie his shoe and dust it very well.

" i believe you mijo with how good you are it won't be long till you become the star there.

Jalaza mom said as she pulled jalaza into another hug this one deeper than the last.

" I can see you are going somewhere?

"Yes ma I want to go for a little run to clear my head and relax my muscles but I would be back in time for dinner probably."

Probably? - sorry surely mom.

"Okay mijo don't be late tho I would call your father to tell him am sure he would be so proud."

Upon hearing the mention of his father jalaza immediately beamed into a radiant smirk

"No problem ma see ya." He said as he made his way out of the house and unto the streets to begin his run.

Jalaza father a software engineer working in one of the world largest companies based in the US Microsoft. Although rarely comes home shaped an important part of jalaza life making the most out of the limited stay he has with him, hence the wide smile on jalazas face when his mom mentioned him.

And his Mom a beautiful Spaniard woman with green eyes,black hair, and a beautiful oval face with delicate features oh and yes a COCA COLA BODY SHAPE. She works for a top modelling agency in spain and just goes for photo shoots once a week hence she has alot of time for jalaza unless during special events she has to go to.

"Huh huh huh" jalaza panted as he ran on he somewhat humid road his lungs burning his legs throbbing,his head spinning and his heart beating. But he still didn't stop he continued his run while maintaining that same pace and intensity before coming to a halt at a astro turf pitch to catch his breath.

"Huh huh huh God damn am tired how many more kilo meters to go"? Jalaza asked as he sucked in large gasps oxygen in a bid to stabilise his wildly beating heart.

"Host has ran twenty-threekilo meter hence completing the first set and has ran three kilometers out of twenty from the second set".

The system responded the mocking and joyous undertone in its voice as it brought up jalaza progress against the backdrop of his suffering clearly showing, as it even went as far as displaying the mission progress to him in bold capital letters.

"Fuck you Ninja you seem to clearly be enjoying my sorry state right now infact am a footballer I mostly perform quick sprints the fuck do I need a bloody forty kilometer run for like 10km should be perfectly fine."

Jalaza said obviously frustrated by the system antics as he started raining insults and throwing tantrum like a little child in his mind space to the system.

Meanwhile as he furiously engaged in a bout of words against his system a group of young boys looking around his age group (sixteen to twenty)quickly arrived and open the gates of the AstroTurf before stepping inside.

"Huh-jalaza said, as he watched a group of young boys open the gate of the astro turf and enter with some balls in their midst their numbers at least 18 he could not really see all of them well to count.

"Do they want to play a match here whatever time to continue my hellish run I guess" jalaza though as he fastened his laces and got ready to start his gruesome journey."

Huh wait a minute system the fuck is going on jalaza bellowed as he stared at the notifications with wide confusion but was met with total silence from the system.

Which resulted to him clicking his tongue in frustration and walking into the astro turf to see if he can join them.

"At least help me do something about my fatigue nigga how am I supposed to play....

Jalaza was about to complete his sentence when he felt a warm refreshing energy flow through his body instantly relieving him of all his fatigue and pain he was going through .

Oh you can do that but you won't answer my questions about the quests." Jalaza said as he was met with silence from the system yet again.

At least show me who this so called genius is

Jalaza said inwardly as he approached the group with one of the most elegant smile he could muster but his attention was taken away for a moment as a big red dot was seen on top of a certain young man's head probably his system doing he deduced.

So he is the genius....
