My system allows me to copy talents

Chapter 501: Grand Prize!



Finally, after the momentary celebration, Hiro got the opportunity to explore his rewards. But he still had to attend the banquet later, so he had little time.

Whatever it was, he had to be quick.

[For scoring on your debut, you have been awarded 50 points]

[200 points have been awarded for scoring a hattrick on your debut]

[For achieving an incredible feat 300 points have been awarded to the host]

Combined with his already existing points, he now had a little over a thousand points. These points could either be used to increase his stats or buy something from the system shop.

Truly, he had reaped a lot from today's match.

Hiro revealed a satiated grin on his face before exclaiming in shock, "Damn! I can already max one of my stat if I put it all in one stat."

For reference, if he puts all the points in his dribbling, he'll have 99 dribbling. Given the present evaluation hundred was supposed to be the max.

But what if he could raise his stats beyond a hundred?

Would that be possible?

Although it seemed unlikely to happen, Hiro couldn't reject the possibility. Who knows, it might be possible to raise the stat beyond a hundred.

The concept was rather enticing.

But it wasn't the time to entertain such thoughts. So, he immediately dispelled those thoughts. After all, it was only the appetizer. The main dish was yet to be served.

[Congratulations host, you have successfully completed the quest. You have managed to leave a deep impact on the target]

[You have been awarded the talent Shadow Tactician (SS)]

The name sounded quite grand. As for its rating, it was the highest caliber talent he was about

to possess. So, Hiro felt quite exhilarated when he saw his grand reward.

His heart was already thumping with excitement while he had a glee on his face.

However, when he went through its contents, his eyes dilapidated. While at the same time, his smile froze on his face.

Then slowly he gasped before mumbling, "Holy Shit!"

[Shadow Tactician (SS)]

[Description: Allows the host to constantly exert a subtle influence over the game, causing opposing players within a 10-yard radius to have slightly reduced reaction times and making them just a fraction slower to reposition. This effect makes it harder for the opposing team to anticipate and respond to the host's moves, allowing the host to maintain better control over the game's flow.]

[Unique ability: At unpredictable moments during the match, it dramatically enhances the host's influence for a brief period. The effects last for about 7 seconds and can occur multiple times in critical situations, helping the host to turn the tide of the game. At this period, all opposing players within a 15-yard radius will experience a 20% reduction in reaction time while at the same time, the host will gain a +10 boost in passing accuracy and a +5 increase in speed. The host will be able to detect the activation of its unique ability.]

It might be because of his excellent results but he wasn't required to complete any condition to dive into the talent; meaning he was able to immediately tap into it.

A talent that could mask his presence while at the same time giving him a massive boost. Such a talent was indeed rare to come by.

It was almost like a cheat.

But what intrigued Hiro was its unique effect. An ability that reduced the reaction speed of every opponent present within a 15-yard radius was something to fathom. Also, it gave him a massive boost in speed and passing accuracy.

Truly, it was a talent that he could sell his soul to demons to get his hand.

The only downside was that it activated at random.

Well, at least he was able to tell when he activated its unique effect. It would have been quite upsetting if he couldn't tell its activation.

But the mere fact that he could activate the unique effect multiple times in a game was something to rejoice.

"Wouldn't I be invincible with this talent?" Hiro murmured.

After going through its description, he couldn't help but think about using this talent in a real game already. For an explosive dribbler like him to be able to reduce the reaction speed of his opponents was something omnipotent.

In many instances, he was already able to dribble past multiple opponents when their reaction speed was as sharp as a cat.

Now, what would happen when their reaction speed was reduced by 20%? They'd be utterly helpless against him.

Before they could even reach him, he'd leave them behind.

But right when he was entertaining the thoughts of passing his opponents with ease, systems prompt rang in his ear, making his delighted mood bitter.

[Just like the host, some individuals will possess the ability that counter the effect of the host's talent. So it's unlikely that the host would be omnipotent]

The system spilled water on his bliss.

A moment ago, he was already imagining the havoc he would be causing after equipping himself with his newly acquired talent. But now he got to know that there might be individuals to whom his ability might have no effect.

Was the system trying to be sarcastic?

Or was he overestimating the ability of his newly acquired talent?

"So basically it means that if I encounter such individuals then I'm on my own huh?" He murmured sounding a bit dejected.

The previously cheerful eyes that were glistening with excitement now became dull as he figured out the reality. It seems that he still has to be cautious despite possessing such a marvelous talent.

But as he pondered about how he was copying the talents of others via his system, his expression turned solemn.

"Well, it won't be entirely unfeasible for someone to possess talents that could counter the talent that I possess. After all, I myself have obtained these talents from others. So, it's not entirely impossible for someone to have talents that could counter mine," Hiro tried to make do with the situation through his analysis.
