Game Tournament

A week after my addiction accident,the summer tournament is getting close.Lately,Perry has start playing the game with me ever since I switched from FIT 15 to FIT 21 fours day ago.At first,I thought it was gonna be nothing for me since I already understand most of the things from FIT 15 but after played it myself,I realized how different they change the game.The difficulty is even higher and the controlling part is much more realistic.It was as if I'm playing with the real people despite I only played with a CPU in a normal mode.But of course,it only take me awhile to understand the basic control of it.

"So,this is where the tournament will take place.Are you ready?" Perry asked.

I replied confidently, "Pretty much yes"

So,what is this tournament we are talking about?Aren't Summer Tournament still have another three more weeks?Let's see,what happened two days ago.

-Two days ago-

With my new bought headphone and mic,I'm playing FIT 21 with Perry through the online match.Current score is...10-0.Just don't mind much about that,I started to get used to this FIT 21.It has many difference with FIT 15 but I think can get a hold of it in a short time.

"Hey,give me some chance,Perry!"

"If I give you a chance,how the heck will you become better?So stop complaining,move those joystick!"

"Fine"

After that,he goes much harder on me as if he trying to kill me.In just a few minutes,he scored another 5 goals but of course,I managed to score some too.I beat my own record which is 3 goals in a game by scoring 6 goals in this match!Yeay!!

"Ouh,I just remembered something!"

"Hurm,what is it?"

"I actually planned to sign in you for the tournament that will be held this weekend.What do you think?"

"Eh,tournament?Aren't Summer Tournament still far from today?"

"That's not what we talking about now.We are talking about a mini-tournament"

"Mini-tournament?" as I said that,my finger stop for a while.I decided to throw the ball out of the field to pause the game.

"Yes,it is a basically just a small tournament for fun that been held by a circle of people.This tournament isn't as big as Summer Tournament but sometimes,it get a pretty decent participation"

"Okay,I understand that but am I even ready for this?I still having a hard time playing with you though"

"That is the point I want you to enter it.*cough*I want you to enter this tournament to measure your ability on which level and meet with many other players which on the whole nother level than you and me.It's going to be hard for you but I want you to remember everything you will learn on that day"

"Maybe,I could give it a try"

"Nice,that's the spirit!This Saturday morning,meet me on the store beside your park's public toilet.The tournament start at 9a.m. so,don't be late"

-Back to the present-

"Where should we register our participation?" asked by me while looking everywhere.

"If I'm not wrong,you're supposed to register it inside.Ouh,there is it" he said it and point his finger towards one table inside the store.Now that I look properly,this is a sport store.There are many kind of things here like Jersey,Sports Ball and more.But why does it even held this kind of tournament?

"Yo,old man.Can we still register?" casually Perry speaking with the one who take of the registration.It seems this is not his first time here.

"Perry?Ouh,it's been so long since you here?How are you doing?"

"Don't waste the time,old man.Just sign in my name and this guy name in it!"

"Okay-okay,I will do it.So,you will enter this tournament with your usual name right and how about you?"

"What do you mean by usual name?"

Before Perry trying to answer me,that old man explain it first, "In most of the tournament,people like to keep a low-profile so some of them tend to use a fake name but there are also some that use their real name like Perry for example.He used his real name rather than make a fake one"

"Like that huh..." What name should I choose I'm wondering?

"Hohoho,look like you decide to create an alias.Don't think too long,kid.You might will got left if you think too much" it shocked me for a second and before I get to say anything,Perry spoke for me.

"Popular!That is his alias.Just use that.You don't mind,right?I mean,that is what you want to be after all" he said that while having an evil scientist grin.That actually irritated me.

"Okay,I will settle with that then.It's not like I have any other ideas"

"Nice,so a participation from Perry and Popular.You just need to wait now" as he said that,he stand up and goes into some room.It's look like I'm the last participant here.Heh,people said hero always come at last minutes.

-10 minutes later-

*Cough*×3

Perry keeps coughing ever since he come here.If I'm not wrong,the last time I stay over,he cough pretty bad too and the last time I played with him online,I heard him cough once too.Maybe he had some kind of sickness.

"Hello,everyone.It seems everyone already waited long enough,right!So,to not waste anyone time any longer,I will show the time table for this tournament.This tournament is having 16 participants so there will be 4 match.I hope everyone enjoy their match!"

_The First Match_

1. Toby Vs CSMS

2. Popular Vs Ph0n1X

3. Perry Vs Garfield

4. Gareth Vs Tom

Ouh,look like I will fight with this guy named...how do I read this?I shouldn't care about that for now.I need to get some tips from Perry.

It seems he is talking with a...girl? "Oh,there you are!Hey,come meet Gareth.She is one of my online friend and she oftenly participate in this kind of tournament"

"Nice to meet you,I'm Gareth" Gareth is short girl with a medium long blonde hair.She doesn't wear like any of the girls I met.She wears a sweater and long tracksuit with a cap.

"Popular...nice to meet you"

"Are you new here?I never see you anywhere or hear you"

Perry help answer it for me, "Yeah,you could say so.He just start it a few weeks ago but his growth is pretty good.I'm planning on making him enter Summer Tournament for FIT 21"

"Ouh,I will join that one too.That's mean we will be a rival.Let me tell you,I might be short and look like a kid but my ability is 100 times better than my height" said her with a proud smile on her.

"Okay,then.It looks like you are some kind of pro-player yourself so did you have any tips for me?"

"Any tips,huh?Ah,I have one.Don't lose" she said that casually but it seems that Perry knows that she will answer that.

"If you want to ask for the tips,this girl is not your choice.She is the worst teacher you could ever get,you know"

"Hey,I could do it if try,you know" she said it angrily.

"Okay,don't waste much time here,Mr.Popular.I think it is your turn now"

"Wowouh,that is such a fast game.Who is the winner?"

"That CSMS guy.I never heard his name here but it seems he might gonna be a high hurdle for you,dude"

"What do you mean?"

"If you win this match,you will have a game with that guy so be prepared and don't get confident too much if you win your first match"

"Popular and Phonix,please come to the stage.It is your match now!"

"Okay,I will need to go.Hope me the best and don't be jealous if I win"

"Just when I said don't be overconfident and here he already trying to be one"

I ignored what he said and go towards the stage.My heart is beating very fast but it doesn't mean I will get scared!Yosh,let's go!
