Sam woke up feeling foggy and light-headed.
Looking around, he quickly determined that he was still in his bathroom.
"Babe!" He heard Kayla call loudly. "What are you doing? You're still in the bathroom? You'll get late for team training".
"Ah, yes, team training". Rubbing his temples, Sam stood up.
He looked around. 'What happened?'
Not rembering much, he quickly took his bath, left the bathroom and kissed his girlfriend goodbye before quickly driving back to the Spotify Camp Nou.
For the first ti since signing for the Catalan club, he arrived late for training.
Like promised, Pedri bought their breakfast that morning even as alongside the rest of their teammates, they started training under the tutelage of their coach.
It was while they trained that Sam discovered sothing.
'This…'
It was like mories were overlapping with his own mories.
At first, he didn't understand what was happening but as more mories overlapped, affecting him, he finally started rembering what happened.
'Right, I got a mory orb'.
His eyes widened. 'And that mory orb had the mory of Lionel ssi!'
His eyes widened even more as he finally rembered everything. 'The mory of Lionel ssi practicing his iconic body feint skill!'
In the mory orb, Sam seed to go through a ti portal, overlapping himself with phantom mories of Lionel ssi, mories of when the legendary Argentine forward practiced his body feint skill and when he used it on the pitch.
In those few minutes that he spent in the bathroom, Sam lived almost 2 decades of Lionel ssi's career!
Every single body feint that ssi did in training, every single body feint that he did in a professional ga, he lived through it all.
In that mont, as Sam rembered everything, his eyes widened because chemical processes started taking place inside his head.
In that mont, his fundantal understanding of the body feint skill deepened to a level that he never imagined possible before.
His mories, his instincts, all of them were honed.
And then, his system finally lit up with a new notification.

In the blink of an eye, from the interdiate level where it was before, Sam's mastery of the Body feint skill increased to the advanced level.
"…!"
His eyes widened, not just because of the increase, but because of the potential that experiencing that mory orb gave to him.
'This…!' He was amazed.
Sam was amazed because at this mont, he felt and was convinced that the effects of the mory orb didn't just end at the Advanced mastery level of the body feint skill.
Afterall, experiencing almost 2 decades of Lionel ssi practicing and using the body feint skill was no joke.
Heck, just 1 such experience with the legendary Lionel ssi was no joke.
This was why at this mont; Sam was convinced that he already got a clear path towards taking the body feint skill to the perfection mastery level.
His eyes glead with excitent. 'All I need is ti and patience, and diligence too'.
'I already saw how the G.O.A.T does it'.
'All I need is to follow his guidelines, doing what he did, repeating his actions and routine till I master it the sa way that he did'.
Sam's eyes burned with a fiery zeal.
For the rest of the training session, Sam's teammates noticed sothing.
'Why is he suddenly so obsessed with using the body feint skill?'
With that, today's training session ca to an end.
…
The next day, it was rinse and repeat as Sam repeated the sa sequence of events throughout his day.
From completing his daily system quest alongside his training buddies, to training with the team, then going back ho to et his girlfriend, ditating for so ti, and then sleeping; he did only that.
Like this, the days moved fast and in no ti, it was another matchday of the Spanish La Liga campaign.
Sam did not play FC Barcelona's first ga of the campaign since he was still relatively new to the club then, but he played FC Barcelona's next ga.
From matchday 2 on, he played for 3 consecutive gas for the Catalan club till the scandal brought his career to a sudden halt.
With Sam out as a result of the scandal, FC Barcelona played another league ga before finally kickstarting their UEFA champions league campaign in the next ga against the Portugal giants, Benfica.
After that, FC Barcelona played 2 more gas, both being league gas and now, it was matchday 8 of the Spanish La Liga campaign.
FC Barcelona were still very much in the title race alongside Real Madrid at the top, having pulled away from Atletico Madrid already and finally, the Catalans regained the services of their electric midfielder in Sam. Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire
FC Barcelona's next ga was an away ga against Osasuna.
(La Liga:)
(Osasuna – FC Barcelona)
In the build-up to the ga, the question among fans of the Catalan persuasion was would Sam play in the ga? And if he would, from what minute of the ga would Hansi Flick introduce him after being out of action for a ti already?
But when the German coach finally dropped his starting XI for the away ga against Osasuna, the FC Barcelona fanbase was stunned.
In confinent, a lot of people expected Sam's skills to beco dulled but nothing of the sort happened.
Rather, in confinent, training every day, Sam made sure that he remained sharp and physically fit.
He was preparing for his return to the pitch.
And after just a few days of training since the court hearing, he was able to convince the German coach, Hansi Flick that he was ready to start.
Hansi Flick made the bold decision of starting Sam against Osasuna.
Would this radical decision pay off?
